With the slow abatement of water comes increased sickness, and fears arise that the mortality will become fearful, for the shadow of death already darkens the miserable quarters, where hundreds of poor creatures are confined, and dread disease in its most dangerous forms is becoming alarmingly manifest. Children and old people are the most subject, and typhoid pneumonia is the prevailing trouble. Jacob Griffith, father of Officer Griffith has been buried, and Mrs. John Moore died at Garnier's Hall, Henry Myers and A. Goble at the Court-house, and W.C. Skinner was reported dying, while many others prostrated. Drs. Gatch, Miller, Collins, Terrill and Evans are going night and day attending the afflicted. The suffering may be ameliorated, but can not for the present be abated. Much-needed supplies have begun to arrive. All persons who have friends away from the town or places to go to are leaving to avoid further exposure and almost hourly Colonel Bannister, who is most prominent in his efforts to aid and suggest measures of relief, receives telegrams from abroad from parties inquiring about friends here, for no mail matter has been received or distributed for ten days, and all outside intelligence has been cut off. Petty pilfering has been going on to an alarming extent, as might well be expected. The loss here, by the depreciation of property, and in merchandise and household goods, cannot be approximated.
