This fearful disease is prevailing to an alarming extent in nearly all of the towns and cities bordering on the Gulf. Galveston is actually being de-populated, while the deaths from the disease in New Orleans and Pensacola are frightfully on the increase. Sixty-three deaths occurred in New Orleans from yellow fever on the 11th. Quarantine regulations are rigidly enforced at Natchez on the Mississippi river. The disease seems to be on the increase at all infected points.

Rigid quarantine measures are enforced at Memphis against all boats and persons coming from New Orleans, as a preventative against the yellow fever.
