The Epidemic at Mobile.—-The Tribune
of the 18th says : “We stated a few days
ago that there were some signs' of abate
ment in the epidemic. Those signs, we re
gret to say, were delusive. The disease has
begun to invade those classes within whose
reach are all the comforts and securities
against sickness.
“The number of deaths Thursday, con
sidering the reduced population, is probably
,s great as that of any day—perhaps
reater.
“The disease, too, is by no means con

What Railroads Effect.—The city of
Louisville, Ky. in 1838, had not a single
railroad running into her limits. Since then
she has subscribed to different roads the a
mount of $3,000,000. The value of the prop
erty in Louisville in 1848, wffien she entered
upon the grand scheme of ra.lroad buildiug>
was a little over $16,000,000; now, after five
years only, it is a little less than $30,000,-
000, and the city was never increasing more
rapidly in population, and never exhibited
more evidences of general prosperity.
The Ingraham Testimonial.—The man
agers of the mass meeting to be held at
Metropolitan Hall, N. Y., on the 22d inst.,
for the purpose of voting a suitable testimo
nial to Capt. Ingraham for his conduct at
Smyrna, have invited the Hon. Edward
Everett, Ogden Hoffman, John Yan Buren.
George Bancroft, Lorenzo B. Shepard, Thos,
F. Meagher, and others to address the meet
ing. Some objection was made to the prop
osition to invite Mr. Meagher, as it was
thought it might give offence to England,
which country has given protection to polit"
ical refugees, and now tolerates a number o
revolutionary committees in Loudon. But
the objection was voted down.

The Yellow Fever in Philadelphia.—
A dispatch from Philadelphia, dated 20th
inst., says that considerable alarm is felt in
the vicinity of South street wharf, owing to
a large number of cases of yellow fever.
Ihey are generally of a mild type, and
yield to a proper medical treatment. It
was at first thought that the disease was
brought there by the barque Mandarin, but
it is now believed to be caused by a sewer
the filth from which accumulates in the
docks, owing to a strong eddy, which sets in
around South street wharf.
The board of health are taking all the ne-
cessary senitary measures to prevent the
spread ot the disease. Two cases resulted
fatally last week.
Ihe Guano Trade.—From a published
statement it appears that there were at the
Chiucha Islands on the 1st August, loading
with guano for the United States,'forty-four
vessels, with an aggregate of 31,328 tons*
There had sailed from the Islands prior to
August 1, and not arrived, twenty-six ves
sels, with 15,415 tons of guano on boaid*
These vessels are all destined for the United
States, and will touch at Hampton Roads
for orders from the agents here, Messrs.

Curious Forgeries.—A man named
Van Hoveuburgh, has been arrested iu New

divorces, which he professed to have obtain

he obtained $75 from a lady for a decree
divorcing her from her husband, who had
de&erted her and gone to California.

Brown is extensively known in the county
of Jefferson as a consistent and orderly
member of the Christian Church, and can
be trusted on this and every other subject
of moral interest without any pledges/ But

I have not taken up my pen to defend the
reputation of Judge Brown, either as a
gentleman of ability, or upright deportment.
He needs no defence among those that know

of peace and love. There may he a few a-

their actions, but the mass of its votaries
still preach and practice the same good old
faith. " A TEMPERANCE MAN.
