The Auguela arrived early yesterday morn

Yellow Fever in Savannah.
\V e publish bejow a letter from a gentleman
in Savannah, of reliability, as also articles from
the Savannah Republican and Morning News.
We have been shown another letter from Savan
nah, from a reliable source, from which we make
the following extract:
“ Savannah, Aug. 33,1854.
# * # Jo my letters to you, I have been
minute, in details, of the matter, and solely that
I supposed you looked to me lor all the news of
the city, and particularly of the state of its
health at this time. There are many people
here, particularly some of the older citizens, who
contend now, or did before, that there was no
unusual sickness, and doubted if a single case of
Yellow Fever was in the city, &c., &c.. Now,
this was all “moonshine,” and they knew it;
even the Mayor stated in my presence, on Satur
day last, that he doubted the existence of Yellow
Fever in the city, and not two hours previous
to that, I saw, in one of the city carts, a family,
consisting of man and wife and two children, go
ing to the hospital, the man and woman throw
ing up “ black vomit” the whole way, and died
before they could get medical aid. Notwithstand
ing his firm belief that it does not exist, he has for
several nights past, ordered barrels of tar to be
burned all over the city, and other methods re
sorted to to prevent disease. Those persons who
so strongly deny it, and insist in saying no dan
ger and no cause for alarm, —it is confined to a
few poor Irish families in the suburbs, &rc., &c.)
have some views ot their own to further,Either
to sustain their own or their friends fears, or per
haps because they cannot themselves leave the
city. It is no longer confined to any one portion
of the city, although there is more of it in my
part and below me, than elsewhere, but it is
now all over the city, and cases are hourly oc
curring out in Jones street and in that vicinity
My neighbor, Mr. , has perfectly hooted at
the idea of Yellow Fever, until his little daugh
ter was taken down with it on Monday; if she
lives and is well enough, he goes with his whole
family in next steamer to Philadelphia. Since
Saturday there has been a regular‘’stampede’ 7
in the city, and probably not less than 50 or 60
families have left the city. Some go to the salts,
some to Florida, and up the Railroad, &c. The
disease is an epidemic beyond doubt, and has
been for ten days past. Dr. Wildman stated this
morning, that there were probably not less than
150 to 200ca8es of Yellow Fever in the city at
this time. The weather is very hot, and no
doubt will increase it.”
. Savannah, Aug. 23, 1854.
I enclose you the first fair and honest report of
our Board of Health that has been to the
public tor the past three weeks—and, as you will
perceive, it is bad enough. Many of our citi
zens are leaving tor the up country and the
North, and I am informed 400 tickets were sold
by the Central Railroad yesterday. The weath
er is exceedingly pleasant, and the atmosphere
apparently as pure as it it came from, our Geor
gia mountains. Many of our intelligent citi
zens think we have seen the worst.
interments.
At Laurel Grove, 22d inst., 6—4 Yellow Fever-
Catholic, 9—7 Yellow Fever.
Total for the week ending 22J inst., 68, viz
Laurel Grove, 25 ; Catholic, 37 ; Colored, 6.
Savannah, Aug. 24.
On Wednesday, there were twelve interments,
nine from Yellow Fever, and seven new cases.
Progress of the Fever.
W T e learn unofficially, that there were 17 in
terments on Sunday from yellow fever, 9 on
Monday, and 11 on yesterday. We learn also,
that the physicians report a considerable diminu
tion in the number of new cases which have oc- '
curred within the past two days, and that the
fev r yields more readily to medical treatment.
Some of them inform us, that they have not yet
had a single case in their private practice, and
that nearly all the cases occurring are among the
destitute and unacclimated.
W T e make this statement, because we are sat--!
isffed that the truth will occasion less uneasiness 1
than the rumors which are flying about town,
and which are grossly exaggerated by all who
hear them, as well as by all who tell them. The
Board, of Health make their weekly report to-day !
after which, we are glad to kn<w, daily reports j
will b e made of the number of interments in each
of the Cemeteries.
In oar notice of the appearance hereof the yel
low fever last week, we stated that it was not
likely to become epidemic—that there was no
alarm felt by our people—and that persons in the
country having business here need apprehend no
danger from visiting the city. Such was the
truth at that dime, but contrary to the general
expectation, the fever now threatens to become
epidemic, thou.gh it can hardly be said to have
assumed that form yet. Considerable alarm is
felt, more we fshink than the facts would justify
—and many p »jsons are leaving by every trad
and steamer. This is not to be regretted, as
those who feel the greatest uneasiness, are the 1
persons most apt to be attacked. In regard to
persons in the country, candour constrains us to
say, that if they have business here, it would be
prudent for th e present to entrust it to their fac
tors or agents, as a visit to the city at this time
would be attended with more or less danger. 1
Thus far theiever has been confined chiefly :
to the eastern pnrtion of the town, and to emi- I
grants aud uoac climated persons. Only a few
cases have occurred west of Habersham street
and they were persons who had either frequent- j <
ed the infected district, or were living in crowd- j
ed localities and tenement buildings. The Irish ! 1
have been the principal' sufferer , and the scene 1 c
where death has done most of its work is in 1
those wards bordering on East Broad street,
which unfortunately were in the most filthy i t
condition a short time since, and in which large
numbers of poor and imprudent people are liv- 1:
ing in crowded and unhealthy quarters. a
We are glad to know, however, that the pub- i s
lie authorities are doing all they can to improve ; ;
the condition of that and other portions of the ' t
town. 1 hey need not hesitate to make free use r
of the public moneyjas their constituents will d
sustain them in any steps they may find it ne- ! C
cessary to take. Our present hospital aecom- | b
modations are somewhat limited, and should the C
fever continue long in its present form, it might i p
be well to erect a temporary hospital in some of i n
the pine barrens near the city, to which every ! e
person attacked, if not well provided for at ! i!
home, should be immediately carried. ¥e ere h
satisfied, however, that the Mayor will do his | t!
duty, as we are happy to say he has done thus i C
far, and with him we leave the matter. tl
Jn the mean time it would be well for all per- 1 h
sons to keep as much out of the sun and nignt I a
air as possible. Let them keep the windows of I a
their bed-rooms closed at night, live prudently, j ft
and quiet their fears, and they need not appre- j li
bend an attack. What with the efforts of the ! o
au horuies and the diminution of the number of g
new cases noticed above, there is every reason to ; b
believe We have seen the worst. But for our ist
freedom from yellow fever for the past twenty- 1 le
five years, and the general good health of the C
town, very little alarm would be felt now. In so
1827, when the fever was thrice as fatal, there hi
was not half the uneasiness that is felt at this w
time —Savannah Jtepubluan, 23 d inst.
We learn that the Sisters of Mercy are about tj
to close, or already done so,) their school lor te
present, and are in daily attendance at the
hospitals and other places of sickness in the city,
performing their charitable offices.— lb.
The Yellow Fever. —The Board of Health
met yesterday noon. The members reported
that they had thoroughly examined the different
wards, and found them generally clean.
There were 67 interments for the week, 44 of
whom had died of yellow fever, viz :

Artistic Suicide.— lt is said that the price
of tickets to the entertainments of Grisi and

fifty pounds, in notes on the Bank of England,
j The robbery took place on the morning of the
ISth ot July last, on which day the perpetrator
took passage for the United States in the Cun

two hundred pounds of the money, but would
restore the balance, and go back to Liverpool

The Nova Scotia colliers are amazed at the
rapid increase of coal production in the United
States. It is said our Pennsylvania mines sent
to market last year, about one hundred tons of
coa! for each chaldron shipped from the*Nova
Sciotia mines. Nay, more, the annual increase
of the production ol coal in Pennsylvania is about
eight times greater than the total yield of coal in
Nova Scotia. But then the mines of Pennsyl
vania are wrought by keen sighted and enterpri
sing individuals, or by rival and competing com
panies.

The Case of Captain Gibson.
The Dutch Government have offered to pay
Captain Gibson the price of his ship, but they
are unwilling to recompense the Captain for his
loss ot time, or for the eighteen months’ impris
onment in a vile dungeon, and the indignities
heaped upon him.
The Paris correspondent of the N. Y. Tribue
writing under date of the 7th instant, says : ’
*• Captain Gibson is now in this city. When
he arrived a short time ago at the Hague, it was
a question with the Gouernment whether he
should not again be arrested us a fugitive from
justice! One of the first demands of the Cap
tain was for a return of the ship’s papers, The
request was acceded to, and, on the foiiowin* !
day, a bundle of papers was brought to him by a (
Government servant, large enough to fill a bushel 1
basket, regularly bound up and sealed with the 1
Government seal, and marked ‘Capt. Gitfson’s
papers.’ The Captain was surprised, but said <
n ? t ° ln e ™ hen the servant was gone, he open
eil the bundle and foi nd to his astonishment that
it embraced ail the State documents concernin'*
his case ; the history of his three trials in Java”
the secret correspondence between the Dutch
Government and the Provincial authorities of
the Island ; and, in fine, the secret and official
history of the whole affair. This was too valu
able an acquisition on the part of the Captain-to
allow it to pass out of his hands without an ef
fort to retain it, so the package was immediate
ly despatched to London. The next day an agent
)f the Government called upon the Captain in
*real trouble, and,stating that the bundle had
aeen sent to him by mistake, asked lor its re
itoration. But it was too late—the package had
est. The Government was furious towards the
Japtain, and Mr. .Belmont, being about to leave
or his residence in Paris, informed him that he
lad better absent himself also, for that, when he
vas gone, it would hardly be safe to remain ! ,J

Cotton —Sales to-day 636 bales. Sales of the

of the new crop were sold at 10£ to 12 J esnta-
The lower finalities are rather in favor of buy
ers. Good Middling 9§ to 9J cents.
The receipts of the week are 4,150 bales.
Stock, exclusive of that on shipboard, 13.757
bales. Decrease at all the ports, 329,754 balea.
Wheat.— The farmers have had their antici
pations of high prices for this year’s crop so great
ly elevated that t iere is a general disposition
among them to hold back their wheat in the
hope that prices will yet go up to a figure some
what in keeping with their expectation. The
result of th:s is an absolute scarcity of wheat in
the wheat-growing districts, and one or two pari
cels have lately been sold from Baltimore to be
returned to the interior of the country, in order
to keep the mills thc-ie in operation. Flour has
also recently been sent from Baltimore to Cum
berland, and com to Frederick and Hagerstown.
These singular transactions, reversing the usual
course of trade, indicate that the farmers feel the
independent position in which the high prices
and ready sale of their last year’s crops has placed
them, and that they are impressed with the
idea that by funding back they will secure a
higher market later in the season. Our agrieul
tuiists, though always prepared to condemn city
speculators, are not themselves above the excit
ing bait, and generally plunge into the strife
with an eagerness and excitement that is par
ticularly calculated to insure defeat in a business
especially calling for coolnsss and a close calcula
tion. What will be the result ot their present
movement we do not venture even to guess, but
it is certain that there will be losers somewhere'
