Ur. J. P. Stevens, of Lee, uu
Malarial and Yellow Fever.
Dr. .1. I*. Stevens, a very intelligent
’ physician from I-co county, called to
-ee us yesterday, lie says the yellow
disease referred to in our last issue
is not «n fatal as it. is thought to he by
those who do not understand it. It
haa prevailed in that section for til-
teen year*, and it is very rarely fatal,
lie does not think there is very much
of It there now. l\> found Itr. Ste
vens thoroughly conversant with all
types of fever in our southern coun
try. and gathered from him some in
teresting facts about the yellow fe
ver. lie says that it requires a pecu
liar state of the atmosphere to gener
ate yellow fever, aud that it is int|M>s-
sihte for if to lie generated without
malaria in some form. He gave in
stances in liis practice where
a man went into a house that
had been closed for nearly two
months. The man went from a healthy
climate, and the house was situated at
■ a pIRib that had been infected with
vcliow fever. The man did not come
in contact with a single individual,
and yet in ten days lie had yellow le
ver and died, lie says lie had known
it freqiientlv to occur that a patient
was taken from a locality where the
yellow fever prevailed and earned in
a healthy Inenlitv ami there died sur
rounded by |ieople. ami not one ol'
Ihetn took the disease, lie is sure
that tlie disease is not eontagious.aiid
that a thousand |ieuple with the yel
low lever might lie brought to a
place that had no liialariaand it would
not spread, lie says there is no dan
ger whatever or the yellow fever be-

A Northern Man ou tlie Inde
pendent Movement.
A gentleman of Pennsylvania, a
<-orres|»oiident of the Home Courier.
writing to that paper on the political
situation of tlie South, says:
The Southern man who lives to see
■tie Independent movement win at
the South will see the States ol' that
-section once more tinder lladienI rule,
with a Republican in every guberna
torial chair In that section.' and in tlie
Presidential chair also. Whoever
live, to see the independent move
ment snrreed in the South, at any
lime in tlie future, will also see a slate
of affair* exist there in comparison
with which the past ,was mild ami
eve# patriotic. The utterances of
every man identified with the Inde-
• pendents of the South prove him to
K i most emphatically tx full svuipa-
y with the Radical party. Hence
the danger, it grieves us' to think
that some our best friend* in the Sev
enth < VingreasionaI District of Geor
gia are actively identified with ilie
movement. However we are some
what consoled l>v the reflection that
we know they will pardon n- for hon
estly differing with them in our opin
ion in regard to tlie matter. We have
always considered it a work of super-
orgaiion in any man to undertake to
explain -to the people of the South
ilieir duty; they know that themselves
I Hit we hope to be pardoned for re
marking tliHt they are in a dangerous
busine*- when they are advocating
■lie Indcpenf movement, and this re
mark will lie more readily pardoned
by tlie people of the South when we
remark further that no sooner had
the, war ended than we espoused
Ilieir etuiseand advocated their claims
with all tlie eloquence we were aide
to summon. on iieeouiit ol the odious
and tyranical course pursued In tin-
Federal authorities toward tlie South.
We are uncompromisingly opposed to
everything, hy whatever name it may
he known, that will have the slight
est tendency to endanger Inn truth-
success in 1881); hence we a re opposed
to the ludc|MMidciit movement all lie

at the, North. It is tinqneaihumbly

sible, a Democratic majority in Imlli

if the Democratic parly succeeds in
