ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE BURNING OF
THE SHIP WILLIAM NELSON -HEART
KENDING PARTICULARS.
Our readers have to thank Robert Alex
ander, Esq., oi the firm of Messrs. J. & W
Stewart, lor enabling us this morning to
place br fore them the following correct »c
count of a most terrible catastrophe occur-
i ing at sea on Sunday last. The particulars
which we get directly Jrom Captain Hart,
and lrom hifl log book, arc these :
The bark Meteor, Captain Dart, belong
i: g to Messrs. J. & W. Stewart, from Aqua
dilia, P. R., bound to Queenstown, arrived
oil this port yesterday afternoon, to land
thirty passengers—twenty-one males and
nine females—picked up by him on Wednes
day last, June 28. in latitude 41 degrees 58
minutes, longitude 51 degrees and 43 min
utes. The log book stales that about
o’clock on the morniDg of Wednesday la»t,
the weather being moderate, the watch on
board the Meteor heard shrieks, and short
ly after a number of people (male and fie
male) were discovered floating about on
pieces of wreck. Captaio Hart at once got
iris boats out, and from that time up to nodn
< f the same day, they were busily engaged
In searching lor the unlortunate people. The
wreck was scattered over miles of water,
and each piece had to be searched. As we
have slated, thirty persons were found.—
The saved passengers gave Captain Hart
the lollowing details ot the disaster :
The lost vessel was the American ship
William Nelson, from Antwerp, bonnd to
New York with passengers. 8be had be
tween lour and five hundred emigrants cm
board. On Sunday last tbe captain of the
William Nelsou determined upon fumigat
lug the obip, and the mate ami some ol the
crew set about the work. A pot of pitch
was taken into the lower hold, below the
passenger deck, and red hot irons were
ilirown into it. • The pitch of course, ignit
ed and boiled ever, setting the ship on flue
to such an extent that it was found impel
sible to extinguish the fl imes. They-spread
r apidly, and before long the Vessel was a
mass of fire, burned to the water’s edge and
hunk, carrying, down with her over four
hundred people. The rescued passengers
deicribe the scene duiing the fire as truly
heartrending. Mothers threw their babes
into the water and fell back themselves into
ilie 11 imes. Whole families died together
in cxcrutiating torments. Brothers and
Bisters, parents and children, ran frantically
about I yr help they were not to find. The
saved passengers also eay ibat the captain
found he could not save the Bhip, begot his
floats out, and with his officers, the crew
and cabin passengers, left the remaining un
lovtuuates to their fate. A number ol very
young children were placed in the “chan
nels" ol the ship, as being furthest from the
lire, but they had not long been there when
• he flames burst through the sides of the
vessel upon them, and iu an instant they
were consumed. Ol such horrible scents
is ilie account made up.
Captain Hart states that one woman was
picked up by his second mate on a piece of
spar, apparently dying. She had been in
deed asall the rest had, three days and three
nights lioating about on the water without
food.
Having rescued all that could be found,
and another vessel bring five or six miles
off, apparently searching lor the wrecked
people, aud besides having as many on
board as lie could feed. Captain Hart deter
mined to liear up lor St. Johns, being then
three huudred and twenty miles south, ti
thinks it is probable the other ship has saved
some of the poor creatures.
The rescued male passengers are recover
i g last from their fearlul sufferings, but all
the females are burnt more or less about the
hands, arms and legs. A large number of
young children were burnt.
mute and earnest inquiry into his neigh
bor’s face. Right on through the place,
straight lor the meeting house, darted the
swift rider, and drawing reina at the door,
leaped from the &addte, and leaving his
foam-covered steed unattended, strode into
the main aisle On the deep silence that
filled the building like a sensible presence,
bis armed heel rung like the blows of a
hammer. As he passed along, a sudden
paleness spread over the crowd of faces
turned with a painful eagerness toward
him. Bat looking neither to the right hand
nor the left, the dread messenger passed on,
and mounting the pulpit stairs, handed tbe
pastor a letter.
Notwithstanding the good man’s faith,
his hand trembled, aud an ashy hue over
spread his face as he reached out to receive
it. “ Burgoync has surrendered,” were the
first words that met his eye. He staggered
under them as nnder a blow. The next
moment a radiance like that of tbe morning
broke over his countenance, and he burst
into tears. Rising to read the incredible
tidings, such a tide of emotion fi xided his
heart that he could scarcely utter them
aloud. The audience sat foi a moment
overwhelmed and stnpifled, then, as their
pastor folded his Hands and turned his eyes
by a simultaneous movement, they fell like
one man on their knees and wept aloud.
Bobs, sighs, aud fervently uttered “Amcns”
were heard on every side, attesting the
depth of their gratitude and the ecstacy of
tneir joy. “The morning had come, bright
and glorious, aud its radiance filled atl the
heavens.”

INDIAN ATROCITIES.
A STARTLING SCENE IN CHURCH.
There were many thrilling scenes in the
New England churches during the revolu
tionary war. The following one occurred
in Sharon, Connecticut, under the Ministry
of the Rev. Cotton Mather Smith. It is
iound in Headley’s Chaplains of the revolu
lion:
Mr. Smith one Sunday took for his text a
part of Isaiah xxi, 11: 12—“Watchman,
what of the night? The watchman said
The morning cometh.” The question in the
first part ot this passage had been the daily,
almost hourly, inquiry lor nearly a month
oi every one of the congregation, and
hence its appropriateness was keenly tele,
but the startling announcement, “The morn
ing cometh,” took them by surprise, and
they could not at first comprehend its signi
ficance, or how it could be adapted to the
present gloomy prospect. Had he heard
any good pews? What had happened that
he could say so confidently, “The morning
cometh ?” No, he had nothing new to tefi
them, only to proclaim over again his un
shaken confidence in God’s promises. He
did not attempt to conceal or lessen the ca
lamities that nad befallen the country, nor
deny that a fearful crisis was at hand. ’ Ho
acknowledged that to human appearance
‘kJouds aud darkness were round about
God s throne, ” but said that the eye of faith
could pierce the gloom. The throne was
there, though wrapped in impenetrable
darkness. In all the disasters that had suc
cessively overwlielmed them, he traced the
hand ot God, and declared that, to his mind,
they clearly indicated some striking interpo-
sition of Divine Providence about to take
place in tkeij; behalf. “Man’s extremity
had come, and now was the time for him to
make bare ‘his arm for the deliverance of the
people.’ ”
Prophet-like, kindling with the vision on
which the faith of his eye rested, he boldly
dropped the general subject ot God’s faith'
fulness, and told bis astouished hearers that
he believed they were on the point of hear
ing extraordinary news of victory to our
arms. He would not wait for an indefinite
future to prove his faith to be well founded,
—he was willing to bring it to the test of
s he present. They might judge whether he
was right or wrong, for said he, “The morn
ing now cometh. I see its beams already
gilding the mountain tops, and you shall
soon behold its brightness bursting over the
land."
One cannot imagine the effect of such
language uttered by the minister of God in
such a time of doubt and suspense. He
ceased, and as he closed the Bible and ex
claimed “Amen! so let it be,” a silence,
profound and death-dike, rested on the au
dience. Each one seemed to led as if an
invisible presence was there, and some
weighty Announcement was just at hand.
Suddenly the deep hush was broken by
ihe distant clatter ol a torse’s ho .f along
l he road. The sharp and rapid strokes-told
of swift riding and of urgent haste. They
knew at once what it metuiL For days and
weeks their eyes had strained up tke streets
that led northward, to catch sight of the
messenger of good or evil tidings that was
hourly expected He had come at last, and
as nearer, clearer, rang the sound of that
allop on tbe listening ear, each looked in
PERFIDY, ROBBERY AND MURDER—SHOCKING
BARBARITIES, <fcO.
Missourians little know the troubles to
which their brethren are subjected from the
Indians, while on their* way to peaceful
homes in the Northwest Territories. Vice
President Colfax saw gome of the dangers
on the road from Denver to Salt Lake, and
telegraphed to Washington for 5,000 or
0,000 troops; but they arrive too slowly to
give efficient protection to the thousands of
pilgrims now on the road. I have just come
from the employment of stage driving, be
low the North Platte, and narrate what I
have witnessed.
The friendly (?) Arappahoes, of whom 4
or 5 hundred are camped near, and fed at,
Fort Halleck, seem to be the aggressive
party at present. Feigning to desire to go
south in quest of buffalo, seventy or more
warriors drew six days rations Then com
menced the depredations and massacres at
the stage stations and private ranches be
low North Platte, published in the Denver
papers. In the very face of the fort, June
27, they drove off twenty-six head of stock
from Elk Mountain Station, and, on the 3rd
instant, fifteen head more. Passing down,
they cleared off the stock at Mediciue Bow
Station, and burned Foote’s ranch, black -
mith shop, wagons, flour, and other provis
ions, and took 100 head of stock belonging
to Foote & Ekler. They just escaped with
their lives. There was a train of 150 wag
ons “bunched up” near Foote’s, and I saw
one poor straggler’s dead body brought in
plit open like a hog.
The emigrants dare not turn their teams
out to graze, for the hills were black with
hostile Indians. The consternation and cry
ing of the women and children were heart
rending. At Rock Creek, twenty-five miles
below Fort Halleck, they appeared, 300
strong. Having broken up all gold mining
operations in that vicinity, they next at
tacked the property of Resliaw and Dutch
Fred,-and swept ofTeighty-five head of tHeir
stock—horses, mules, oxen and cows—the
thieves warniDg back their owners, unless
they wanted to lost their scalps.
At a later day they showed their thirst
for blood. Two soldiers ot the llth Ohio
were killed on Rock Creek flats. I aeeom-
panied an escort of cavalry from Fort Hal
leck, and iound and buried these soldiers.
The body of one ot them was mutilated in
the most shocking manner—feet cut .off,
eyes dug out, heart taken away, and bow
els hanging over the aperture, head scalped
—but the remaining abuses jnust be unde
scribed.
Ten soldiers of the 1st Colorado Cavalry,
stationed here, lost their horses. I har
nessed the mules of the station and started
(lie soldiers off with them. 1 also saved an
old \vLite-bearded gentleman, by his last
chance of escape, from Rock Creek, in tho
stage.
At Coopei’s Creek Station, eleven miles
further down the r ad, they took both sfa^e
and emigrant stock—killing some fat cattle
belonging to Rocky Thomas, because they
could not urge them forward fast enough.
At Virginia Dale Station they ran off nine
head ot stock. H*re Tim Euuis, au old
hunter, was met by an Indian professing to
be a “friendly Rappaho,” and held in con
versation till six other savages appeared
and shot a poisoned arrow through his liv
er. I saw him die, in four hours, frothing
at the mouth, a most cxcruciatiug death.
Now, ihere has been no known provoca
tiou for these atrocities. The Indians say,
“It the white men would keep away, the
Buffalo would come again.” But, the whites
won’t keep away. And it is the duly and
interest of the Government to give protec
tion to those who pass through these terri
tories, going to develop the mines, and build
up new States. The pacification policy, as
we have seen above, will not answer. The
common rules of war will not answer. I
wou'd not go for extermination ; but, hav
ing been out in that country four years, and
seen the temper of the Indians, I conclude
that nothing short of a very severe punish
ment, by au irresistible army ol white
troops, will teach Un m to behave them
selves. if squaws, abandoning their chil
dren in the wigwams. Bland in the rifle pits
to fight us, the idea ot discrimination is ab
surd. One hundred ot Col. Chiviugtcn’s
troops had seen their own wives and chil
dren massacred, and their ranches burned.
These mike the soldiers to deal with the
treacherous redskins. I should not wonder
if the “ Hero of Sand Lake ’’ were to fie
loudly called tor to put an end to this In
dian rebellion.
A RETURNED CONFEDERATE.
Clarence J. Prentice, a son of the re
nowned “ Geo. D.” of the Louisville Jour
nal, who was a distinguished officer in the
Confederate service, is now the local editor
of that paper. In response to a contempti
ble attack by a newspaper, be responds as
follows:
From the Louisville Jourani.
A paragraph, that appeared in a recent
number of The Cincinnati Commercial and
was copied substantially by two or three
other papers, said of us (the Local Editor of
the Journal) that, although we had been in
the Confederate service, we should probably
be “let up” by the Federal Government,
as we had killed rebels in street fights, and
the writer had never heard of our shedding
any Federal blood. As to the amount of Fed
eral blood we may or may not have shed,
we have nothing to say. Wc feel deep
grief in the thought that it has ever been
our lot to shed any hnman blood at all, but
we believe that what we have shed can
never cry to us from tbe ground.
We have never sought to take life, except
in manifest self defense, or in defense of
what we honestly believed at the time to be
the sacred cause of our country. We bad
loved the Union, we had speken and writ
ten for it in Europe; our heart, four thous
and miles away, had leaded and thrilled at
the eight of the old flag, and, on return, we
did not go into the rebellion until a pro
found conviction waafoiced upon our mind
that the Smtb ought not to be subjugated.
We gave her what aid we could, as tens
of thousands of better m.‘n did. We joined
her armies, leaving a most happy home and
beloved parents and child, aud went where
we knew we must encounter hunger and
thirst android and toil and weariness and
the risk of wounds and death. However
much we may, iu going, have erred in
judgment or conduct, our heart was not
wrong. There is no t horn iu our conscience,
no stain upon our souT, no “ damned spot ”
upon our hands We feel regret, but not
remorse.
The South fought long and bravely. We
stood by her from the first to tbe last. We
never in all the war did a deed or g*va an
order of which we think we need be asham
ed. We never committed an outrage, or
tolerated one on the part of any offic .r or
man of our command. We neyer allowed
theft or robbery, or burning, or the mal
treatment of captives. We do not believe
that we ever held a prisoner who would not
now take pleasure in bearing testimony
that he was made as comfortable as our
own soldiers. The South was beaten in
the protracted aud awfnl Conti et. Sadly,
we confess, we accepted the decision of the
God of Batiks Bui we accepted it iu all
sincerity. The Confederacy, to which we
Lad given some ot our life’s best years, be
ing co longer a living thing, we infinitely
preferred the o'd Union to any other coun
try on the globe, and wc even felt a pride
iu her gigantic strength, though co. quered
and humiliated by ii,. We returned aud
took Hie oath of allegiance. We took it
with no mental reservation We took it iu
all possible sinci rity. We took it with a
determination to keep it though death
should look us in the lace. One ol otu first
acts, on our coming back, was to . tier c ur
services to Gen. Palmer to take command
Of a huudred returned Confederates, all
sworn like ourselves, aud aid in driving the
remnants of the murd« rous guerilla bands
lrom Kentucky. The General expressed
biroselt repeatedly much gratified with the
< ff-r, but he said he had no power to ac
cept it. We stand ready now, if occasion
should arise, to fight for the United States
against the world in arms. But we trust
that never again may our eyes ache with
the sight ot blood and slaughter.
And now we ask why it is that we, and
others in our situation, returned Uonlede-
rates, bound by voluntary oaths to keep all
the obligations of true and loyal citizens,
cannot be permitted to live among our tek
low-citizens unmolested ? We have not
much to complain of in our own individual
case. On the contrary, we take pleasure in
saying that, of all the thousands of our old
friends and acquaintances here, not one, so
far as we know or believe, has stood aloof
lrom us since our return, and not one has
greeted us less heartily than he would have
done il we had been in the Federal, instead
of the Confederate service. Some others,
however, have been treated less kindly, ancl
occasionally a paragraph like that of the
Cincinnati Commercial appears in the pa
pers. Why are such paragraphs put forth ?
Whaf is their purpose? What are they in
tended to effect? Are the sueers meant
merely to exasperate? Are the taunts de
signed simply to wound ? „ Will the enemies
of peace and harmony never cease to ply
their evil trade, their mischievous vocation
among us ?
We have said much more than we intend
ed. We hope we shall not leel called on
o speak of ourselves again. Of course, we
have no more to do with the political char
acter of the Journal than any one not at all
connected with the paper.
FATAL RESULT OF A TOUNO LA
DY*S FONDNESS FOR SCRIBBLING.
A lew days ago,says the Rochester Union,
the Albany papers noticed a vile hoax, as
follows:
Some cowardly scamp sent us, a while
ago, a notice of what purported to be the
marriage of a couple at Oneida Valley, Mad -
ison county. Although the usual fee did
not accompany it, we published it, because
we have a number of subscribers in that
place. We have siuce learned that the no
tice was a cruel hoax. The names given
were those of well known parties, but no
marriage between them occurred, or was
ever dreamed ot.
The denouement was a sad and tragic one
for the foolish author, a young lady of Onei
da Valley, named Cornelia Fisher. The
particulars are given by a correspondent of
the Rome Sentinel Miss Fisher, under the
name of Caroline St. Clair,' Wrote and
mailed the notice to the Oneida county, as
well as the Albany papers, and all published
it. For a while it remained a mystery
who the author was. Suspicion first fell
upon a young man in the place, and then
was finally directed toward the yonng lady
herself but nothing definite was known.
Oae day, while about her household work,
she was questioned by her mother in regard
to the matter, who told her ol the penalty
ot the law, and the probable puuisbment
she would receive if guilty. For a moment
after that the mother was absent from the
room, but was soon recalled by hearing her
name faintly pronounced. She gmckly re-,
turned and found Cornelia apparently dying.
Her mother asked her what was the matter.
She replied that she did not know; she
feared she would die, and requested her mo
ther to pray for her. In a few moments
thereafter she breathed her last.
She had for some time previous been
troubled with the heart disease, and this,
under the over-excitement ot the moment,
is believed to have caused her death. De
ceased was about eighteen years of age,
possessed of a respectable character, and
was of a quiet and retiring disposition.-—
After her death, matters came to light that
proved beyond donbt that she was the au
thor of the letters. The writing was appa
rently disguised, yet in feature it agreed
with her own proper hand willing. Corne
lia seemed to possess a mania for writing
and holding imaginary correspondence wit h
different persons. She would write, stamp
and post-mark letters, address them to her
self, and then drop them into the office, to
be presented to her as genuine by the un
thinking postmaster. Physicians have been
consulted, who say she was insane on the
subject. The fate of this young lady should
serve as a warning to those afflicted wilb
the mania which caused her tragic end.

Trice's Adjutant General Killed.—
Wh learn from a Kansas City paper, and &
person in this city, that A L McLean, for
merly of Lnfayette county, Mow, was killed
at Washington, Texas, a short time since,
by Col. Robert Wood, son of Aaron Wood,
ot Saline county. McLean was Gefe. S er-
ling Price’s Adjutant General, from the first
outbreak of the rebellion, in 1861, and, it is
said, was relied upon by the General as a
chief counsellor and director in business
matters, lie was a Scotchman by birth, ol
good education, pleasing anl courteous
manners, and was credited by those who
knew him with the possession of undoubted
courage and skill as an officer, The cir
cumstance of hts violent death grew out of
the application ot Wood tor a furlough,
which was not granted, as ha supposed, on
account of the objections of McLean.—
Meeting f hort.'y %ftr-r iu a saloon, an alter
cation sprung up between the two, when
Wood shot McLean and killed him, as sta
ted. Persons here report that the fatal event
had caused Wood most intense anguish.
It has been stated iu some of the papers
that the homicide was committed by Car-
roll Wood, son of George Wood of this city.
This is not correct, however, as we are in
formed through a source very likely to he
well informed in the matter.—Si Louis Re

NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
As one ot the “ signs of the times," the
New York Express gives the following:
“The Auburn Advertiser, the home mouth
piece of Seward, declares that the attempt
at another negro agitation will prove a fail
ure. ‘That powder has been shot eft once,’
says this organ, and it warns the party to
hesitate belt-rc embarking upon another
crusade. The Troy Whig also opposes the
attempt to force universal suffrage upon the
South at the point of the bayonet, and de
clares that sr.cb a course on the part of the
Federal Government, 'would be far more
dangerous to the liberties of the country
than to permit half the population of the
South to be disfranchised according to the
forms of law.
A woman has been arrested at Mad
ison, Indiana, for starving two children, her
nephew and niece. She pat them in a wood
shed and kept them there until the girl
died, and Ihe boy wae discovered by some

THE CROPS IN WISCONSIN.
The following additional returns from
Wisconsin, including five counties, tnrnisli
renewed evidence of the generally excel
lent condition ot the crops in that State
KRWANKE COUNTY.
“A snhrcriber” writes, July 17, that Ihe
Wheat is already cut, and Ibe crop is large,
the grt^n being full and plump. Bariev
will probably vield an amount double last
year’s ciop. The Oat crop is very large —
Hay and Vegetables of all kinds look pro
mising.
PIERCE COUNTY.
Henry Youngroan writes, July 14, that
the chinch hug made their appearance
among t>e Wheat early in the spring, but
were all destroyed by the Jane rains, so
that they inflicted no damage on the crops.
The yield ot wheat will be about one-third
greater than last year’s crop. Coro plant
ing was delayed some by the co'd rains and
the prospects are not as good as last, year,
although a good ciop is promised. Oats
and Barley were sown to about the same
extent as fast year, and promise an aver
age crop. Tbe root crops are nearly all de
stroyed, though Potatoes promise well.
CHIPPEWA C VPNTY.
A letter of July 18. states that the amount
of laud sown in Wheat is much less than
.last year, and the prospects are that the
crop will be at least one-fourth greater. -
Corn planting was delayed by wet weather,
and the crop has suffered some from the
frost. Oae-lonrtb more was planted this
year than last, but the prospects are not so
good. The ciops of Oats and Barley will
both be about one third greater than last
year Rye will yield an average crop.
ROCK COUNTY.
Jtfbn Tinker writes, July 21, that Corn,
Oats, Potatoes and Onions promise more
than an average yield, while there will not
be more than "half a crop of spring Wheat
and Barley, on account of the damage in
flicted bp the chinch bug Frosts and worms
have done much injury to Fruit. There
has lately been plenty of rains aud Gi.nsi is
in good condition.
EAUK COUNTY.
M. C. Waite writes, Jnly 20, that the in
crease in the amount ot land sown with
Wheat is one-fourth, the prospects are fine
and tbe crop will probably yield one-hali
more than last year. There is also an in
crease in the arnouut ot Corn planted, and
the prospects are better than last year at
this time. The crop of Oais, Bark y and
Rye have sustained Very little damage and
will probably yield an increase over Iasi
years’ crop of from one-third to one-half.
VERNON C UNTY.
T. Smith writes, Jnly 20, that Wheat and
Oats were sown over abont the same breadth
ol land as last year, and the yield will prob
ably be abont one-fourth larger. Thc«hinch
bug is doing bat little damage as yet, as
there were a plenty of heavy rains in Jane
and July. Corn is planted more extensively
than last year, and 1 K»ka well, and there
will be a fair crop if it is not damaged by
the trosta. Barley was bat little sown, but
the crop looks well and bids fair lira good
yield. Hay will pr i b ibiy yield one third
more than last years’ crop. The crops all
look better than they have for a number ol
previous years.
TUB CROPS IN MINNESOTA
The lollowing additional report, includ
ingThree comities, has been received lrom
Minnesota:
Dakota County.
A. P. Powers writes, July 16, that the
crops* will be from one half to two-thirds
larger than last year’s. Wheat has tustaiu
e’d no damage and will yield lully twice as
much ns in ISG4. Double She ix eiit
larnl 1i;»s been planted with Corn, but the
prospects arc not as good, the crop having
still red from the cut worm. O hh will fut
nish a crop larger than last year’s by one
half, while the barley crop propiises to
fully double.
FREEBORN C.-UNTY
Tsaae Van Derwacker writes, July 20
that wheat was sown more t x^ensivtriy than
last year, ami the yield will be about one
foui lb larger. Corn grow lb was delayed

RICE COUNTY.
Beuj. Lockerby writes, July 15, that
Wheat was sown over about the same
breadth of land as last year, and the yield
will probably be one-rihird greater. Corn

WRIGHT COUNTY.
J. R. Ames writes, July 20, that small
grain never looked better than it does this
season. Wheat will yield a crop laigei
than last year’s. Corn has been considera
bly injured by the cut worm, but promises
an average crop. There was a smali in
crease iu ihe amount of oats sown, and
the prospects, it i3 said, never were finer
Barley and rye were sown in very small
quantities.
WABASfTAW COUNTY.
S. Stanley writes, July 17, that Wheat
will furnish about an average Crop. Corn
was planted over a much larger extent of
ground, but the prospects are very poor,
owing to the delay in planting, from which
it has not yet entirely recovered. There is
a large increase in the amount ol oats sown,
and the prospects are good for an abundan*
yield. Bailey will yield one-fourth more.
No rye has been sown,,

TREMONT COUNTY.
John D. Russell writes, July 17, that
Wheat looks much better than last year,
and promises a large crop. The corn never-
looked better, and unless injured by the
frosts it will probably yield a double crop
Oats were not so extensively sown, but the
crop will exceed last year’s by one-fourth.
Barley and rye were both sown to about
the same extent as in ’G4, and (he yield will
probably be greater.
The cholera at Alexandria, Egypt,
