Yellow Fever in Charleston.
We regret to learn from the Mercury ami the
Courier that * few cases of yellow fever htm
occurred in the city of Charleston. The following
from tho Mercury indicates that an yet there if
hope that it may not assumo a violent epidemic
type:
Tiie Hkaltii or oi a City.?In our issue of Saturday
we congratulated our readers upon the exemption
from disease which our city has enjoyed.
Since then, a variety of vaguo and exaggerated
rumors have been afloat with regard to a supposed
death by yellow (Vver. A brief statement of the
bare facts. ?? we have obtained them by careful
inquiry from the most reliable sources, in ilim in
the public.
There lias been but a single case of the fevfcr
this season. The gentlcinuu (vrho died on Friday
evening) had been in declining health for months,
and his malady assumed ilie yellow fever type but
? few hours previous to his death. Ilis case is
generally regarded as merely sporadic, and as in
no way calculated to?c.\cite any reasonable approhonsion.
A vromn'.i whose life had been grossly irregular
and intemperate, died some days ago at tho llopcr
Hospital. Some alleged that her case exhibited
slightly yellow fever symptoms ; but the
inoro generally received opinion is, that she died
Trom intemperance and the imprudout use of laulanuin.
The genoral health of Charleston was never beter.
There is nothing in an insulated case of the
"ever that should alarm even tho most timid. In
tny event, thecolums of the Mcrcurymay be relied
ipon as the faithful and unshrinking index of the
niblic health.

Lincoln is elected ? o. Do they favor separate
Suite action ? Tlio Abbeville Hunnrr contains
tho reply of Gen. McOowan, Mr. W. C. Davis,
and Mr. Thomas Thomson. They all declare
for Breckinridge ami Lane; nil favor resist
unco if Lincoln is elected ; ami all think the
i.ssno of separate Statu action premature. The
letters arc long and characterized by clearness
and directness. Each of the candidates

making a.siy remarks, being very much
fatigued from exercise on the field. The canlidates
all iavor the completion of the Mine
llidge Railroad, and regard its completion of
paramount importance to the State, both pecuniarily
and politically. They all urge resistance
on the part of the South, if Lincoln
is elected President. Col. Ilayne favored resistance
by tho union of soveral Southern
States?three or four at all ovonts. If any of
the rest entertained different views they did not
sxpress them. They aro all National Democrats

ITlOIII.v 1 m I'rtutant from MkXICO.?
S'kw Oru.ans, Aug. 27.?The news from
Mexico is highly important. The greatest
excitement prevails at Vera Cruz, both among
lie peopln and the authorities. It was expected
every moment that the. bombarilment
it' the city by the Spanish fleet would eomucncc.
Kverything within the city and the
forts were prepared for such an event. The
irtillerymeii wore at their posts, nnd th</garrison
umh r arms night and day to repel the
ntcipi't'.v! r.tt;'.; k. It ">v;.o i>n di'j!jr iOjmilcu

K'n descent on ( ul.a. f-'ucli a division, it
was thought, won 1,1 have the effcot speedily to
Jraw off the Spanish force from its threatening
position before Vera Cruz.
Thirty-four soldiers, forming the guard of
i eonducta, had perished for want of water.
The greatest scarcity of provisions prevailed
in Northern Mexico; the supplies of corn and
wheat were completely exhausted. The population
of the towns were compelled to enlist
:n* flee. Circnt dissatisfaction prevailed hi
jonsequence.
The rumor was rife at Vera Cruz that ( Jen.
Miramax, regarding his cause us hopeless,
liad absconded. Large reinforcement of the
Liberal troops had been despatched from Tain
I'umi iu>v;uu!i me cmv 01 .Mexico. It was
thought that an assault upon the capital would
take place at an curly day.
