Show THE PZST-STEICKEN SOUTH. The telegraph is occupied day alter day in bringing accouuts of the progress pro-gress and ravages of yellow fever in the Bonth; and yet graphic ob these Btoriei are, they do not depict tho full horrora that are buing realized by the afflicted people of the fsver stricken district. The mind can with ditli cully Kra.p the frightful condition that exists or adequately cranurebend the whi.le extent of tho misery which is being endured in many cities wnere once were bappy homeB and contented, con-tented, prosperous thousands of hu man beings. Several of tbeae are nothing more than hospitala filled with Bick and dying sufferers by the fever. A dispatch y "Grenada iB no longer a oily, but a morgue," and other towns and cities are fast approaching ap-proaching a similar condition. It is from southern papers and the letters in northern journals whose heroic correspondents are in the south, that we can obtain the best idea of the situation. From these it seems that death, in one of bi most horrible Bhapes, broods over ft vast urea of oountry, and gathera in his "pacious maw men, women and children, of all grades, conditions, and classes. None is exempt. The rW.tnr. who works to aave the lives of his fellows, Boon finds i himself a victim, and needing that very care and treatment that he j bestowed upon others; the minister of tho gospel rises from oflering spiritual j oonaolation to ouu of his llock, to discover dis-cover that the dreaded diaease has seized upon his very life; the Sister of Charity, with purest and holiest of motives, sootheB the agony of a dying victim, and then lays down her.ell and yields up her own life. Even reportors, who have been thought to be proof against human ailments, and who fear no danger wherever news is to bo obtained, cannot withetand the fever, and several of these active, energetio and daring young men have found untimely graveB. Every family and all eocielies contribute from their numbers to Batisfy the ravenous greed of tho destroyer. Some cHies havo becu almost entirely desfried and others are i.ot depopulated because the inhabitants are without the means to carr? them away. A few weeks ago tho white population of Memphis numbered 80,000; now it is leas than 3,000. Some have Bed from the scourge, and others have been thrown into hastily-dug graves. In New Orleans there are wholo strjetsin which there is not a Bingle house free Irom fever patients. Trade and commerce com-merce are suspended and the only sounds heard are these made by the wheels of the doctor's buggies and the rumbling of the hearse and the dead o.Tts. To slid to tho extreme horrois, crime Las broken loose, and and stimulated by the absence of the peace utlicerB and guardians of property, pro-perty, is running wild. Burglaries are Ircquent, and thieves are boldly entering houses io the broad light ol day, knowing there is no one to oppose op-pose them. The uncertainty ol liie makes them doubly deepc rale and daring. No one can paint in their true colors the 6uflerings of our toulh ern countrymen. But what is worse, the horror iB not over, nor has it yet reached its extremo height. Gloomily and sadly the Eorrow-slricken people look "ahead fifty days belore they see relief. It almost seems that by the time the saviour comes in the shape of Irost, there will ho nothing for it to save. Every day brings the same Bad story of death, and of con tinued unfavorable atmospheric con diliou. Kains and lower temperature, that bring heaiing to other diseases, only add malignity to yellow fever. To increaEO the sufferings and multiply the a mictions of the stricken people, many of them are beginning to feel the gnawings ol hunger. Tho responso to the appeals for sympathy and aid has been generous gener-ous and noble, but the relief is not eqmi to the needs. The cry of the sufferers and Ihe voice of those who have bravely taken their lives in their hands while they succor the sick and give decent burial to the dead, are still heard throughout the land, begging beg-ging for everything that will stay the hand ol death or allay the sufferings of the afllicted. A caH u made upon the country for auolber million dollars, dol-lars, and yet other millions will have to follow before the disease, in the ordinary course, cxhaus'.s itself or is tilled. The north, the eal and tne west must continue their opeo-handtd opeo-handtd practical sympathy for their afiheted countrymen in the south. The rich must give of their abundance and the widow of her mite. Salt Lake o;u done and is doing well. Our citizens so far, wo believe, have done their porlinu, hut we must not cease now. A, every day brings its lale ol suffering and want, fO should every day ace tne exercise of charity and generosity. The fact that we are not afflicted should ever be a reminder that it is our duty to give. |
