THE DAILY EVENJNG TELEGRAPH PMLADELtflA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER G, 187C. 5 if n w-ronm q xvi s. l rm Our Otrn Correspondent, Naw York, Oct. 5, 1870. flooadlnc the Yellow Fever Alarm. Now that the danger of yellow fever's be coming at this seasdb. epidemic with as Is re moved, no harm can be done in making public the cause which led good Judges In sani tary matters to fear that we should not alto gt the r escape. It appears that some cases of yellow fever occurred at Governor's Island, and that on the 1st of October all the Infected there sixty in number were removed to the West Bank Quarantine Hospital. All such bed ding, clothes, and other articles as could possi bly have become Infected were also taken to the steamer Illinois, in the Lower Bay, and burned. Those places upon Governor's Island where the fever had occurred were vacated, fumigated, disinfected, aud cleaned, and provision was made for iho removal, day by dav, to the Quar antine Hospital of all new case. The strictest investigation has discovered that In this city all coses of yellow fever were absolutely restricted t persons who had visited Governor's Island a nurses or mourner, or who had left lb ' island while the disease was spreadim there, and wbo had come to this city. Since the twelfth of September there have been In New York city ten cases of yellow fever in all. Sevo of (be infected persons were those who had : one to the island as nurses or mourners; the " maining three were soldiers, who had left Governor's Wand after the fever had begun its devas at'mn there. The cause of the fever's breaking nut Is attributed to certain Infected vcebcIs v hl. h had been permitted to land pas sengers, and to lie at the ' Brooklyn docks, at various o i ts between Empire Stores and Ilamilto Ftrry. Some lufected article thrown OVrbo .td from one of these ships has probably bCJn wnelied ashore at Governor'slsland. There Is no reason for believing that, even amortr tie few cases of yellow fever Which htve occurred, the disease has been of a type other than the mildest. Still, for a week past, vessels infected with yello.v&jver have constantly been arriving at Lower Quarantine. The vessels come from New Orleans and Havana, and a great neces sity still exists for taking great precaution lest the disease should spread. If the truth were generally known, It would be seen that all sum mer long we have been peculiarly exposed to infectiou. This exposure was due to the cupidity of New York merchants and ship owners whoso trade Interests bring them into commut'icationwith the infected ports. These merchants and ship-owners have endeavored to back themselves with the support of one or two newspapers, and have done all In their power to break through the enforcement of the Quarant'ne regulations. In the middle of August, for Instance, although the city knew nothing about it, yellow fever broke out on Governor's Island, aud had It spread in the city, tluv e merchants and ship-owners would probably have been to blame more than any one el.-e would. But although the cases which daring lc last two or three weeks have oc curred in New York city were mild in nature, this description does not by any means apply to the entire batch of cases that were removed from the island and taken down to the Lower Bay. Some of these were of the most malignant type, the horrible black vomit taking place just before death ensued. Such facts as are known prove that the disease was propagated in this country by various vessels that had evaded quarantine, and that the fomite, or poisonous .principle, was probably conveyed to Governor's Island by the ebb-tide that washes that shore of the islaud near which the fever first broke out. On'y a short time before the outbreak, a num ber of barks, brigs, and other vessels were lying at 6ome Brooklyn docks, In the very face of the fact that they were known to have had, during the passage, cases of yellow fever on board. When these facts are borne in mind, and realized as facts, a thoughtful man will feel that he can not be too thankful that the Board of Health did, for once, act energetically, and that the kand of the fever was stayed. Finding Ooe'a Level. With many writers on religion it is a Juvorlte theory that every man was sent into the world for the purpose of performing a mission that no other man caa perform as well as he can. This theory is plausible, and it ascribes a convenient and benevolent character to the Being who is responsille for our having been sent into the world. Neither am I prepared to argue that the assumption Is not a correct one. All that I Bay Is that it seems to have one or two weak points. For Instance, how many people work as though they were fulfilling a mission? I do not ask how many people work as though they were conscious of having a mission, but how many work as if they had one? Consider the thousands of disappointed, poorly-paid, hard-working, and ground-down young men and women in New York wbo are compelled to work for employers whom they cannot but hate and despise. Has each of these people a mission ? . And if so, has he found it ? And if he has not found It, would It not be better to have been sent into the world purposelessly than for the sake of accomplish ing a work which one is forever disappointed in finding? In the few shining or moderate suc cesses we recognize people with missions; but take the people whose lives are laborious and painful failures, and what shall we say of the mission theory then ? Crantl Opera Ilotiae Goaslp. Gossip about the Grand Opera House is, from the nature of the case, gossip about the Erie Railroad Company, and gossip about either .necessitates a mention of that Indisputable noto riety, Mr James Fisk, Jr. Of one offense, how ever, I can never with Justice be accused. It cannot, with truth, be said of me that I ever wrote a paragraph about so vulgar an article of jewelrv as a diamond-pin while making men tion of Mr. Fiek's shirt-bosom. No ; I leave that for writers whom a shining stone dazzles, and the lustre of whose lucubrations la due entirely to the theme of which they treat. To go back to the. Grand Opera House gossip, however. Flak's attentions to the new opera-bouffe soprano, Montaland, are as notorious as his at tentions to one or two of the soprani of Mr. Batenaau's opera-bouffe troupe were. The sto ries which represent him as purchasing sUks, satins, and laces for that splendidly "made-up" divinity are too true; and Silly, the other soprano, is said to be correspondingly jealous At the close of the tecond act of Le Petit Faust Is Introduced a "real" horse, which Is ripe for the bands of the knacker, a mass of skin and bone loosely banging together. Pos sessing these natural requisites for equine bur lesque, it is so painted as to seem to be scarcely more than a series of protruding ribs inter eperted with that variety of sores to which equine nature is subject. Where this quadruped was obtained has, ever since the first night of Le Petit Faust, been a question with the Grand Opera ILuse audiences. The simple truth i that Mr. Cole, Flak's treasurer and buainees manager, bought him for fifteen dollars, and paid an additional fifty for the yellow painted vehicle to which the beast Is harnessed. That horse Is dear at any price. I regard the fifteen dollars as extremely liberal. Am Baba. MUSICAL, AH IHIAWAT1C.

(COMMUNICATE D.J Oar Candidate for Keajnter of Wills. The convention that placed in nomination William M. Bunn made a wise selection. His adherents de tected Immediately after their organization that be would be the winning man, and without disparaging any of the other candidates before the convention, I think I may safely assert tuat the Intention was from tho beginning to nominate a man who had been In active service nnder the old flg, and who had acquitted himself with crellt without having re-, celved a commission for bis services.

Now onr great party have an opportunity presented them for com; llmenting a man who held the position of a private, and let them come up to the work nobly, and thereby show their enemies that they mean what they say when they assert thai the soldier shall be rewarded.

The Ooramlttee on Direct Trade between Europe and the Southern Atlantlo ntles reported, favoring granting aid to American shipping; adopted. The Committee on the Southern Pacific Railroad made a report recommending aid by Congress to the road near to 8Srt parallel, with branches terminating at Memphis, Vlcksbunr and New Orleans. Adopted. The report of the Committee on River Navigation. Canals, etc., was a very lengthy one. A resolution was oilered declaring rivers channels of travel and communication, belonging to the people of the country, and not to be obstructed by Individuals or corporations. Charles Rcemelln, of Ohio, objected to this resolu tion. He said two classes of people have rights on rivers, those navigating up and Xown and those crossing. This resolution totally ignored the rlghta of transit, and was a revival of that old public opinion raised by the ordinances of UST, which has been destroyed by the courts. Mr. Stannard, of Missouri, hail.no design to ob struct railroads, but It was the desire of the com mittee to prevent railroads from unnecessarily ob structing river navigation. A motion to amend by inserting the word "unne cessarily" before "delay, abstract, and hinder," in the resolution, was lost. The resolut'on aud report was then adopted by the following vote: Yeas Alabama, 8; Arkansas, 4; Florida. 8; Oeorgla, It; Iowa, 1 ; Indiana not counted ; Kansas, 8 : Louisiana. 8; Mississippi,!: Missouri, 10; Massachusetts,!: Ohio, 81; Pennsylvania, 4; South Carolina, 6; Ten nessee, 8: Texas, 1; Virginia, 10; Nevada. 1.

Tha report of the committee recom mending free trade In money, and the repeal of the usury laws and habits by which money contracts are treated exceptionally, and an amendment to the bsnklng laws so as to take the monopoly from banks in the supply of currency, was adopted and subss quently reconsidered. FROM NEW ENGLAND. The Wlllard murder Trial Hartford, Ct., Oct. At the opening of the Su perior Court to-day the counsel of James Wilson, on trlsl for the reorder of Warden Wlllard, of the Con necticut State Prison, retired from the case, as the prisoner desired to conduct his own defense. They will simply advise the prisoner on legal points. The evidence for the prosecution then commenced, and Dr. Jackson testified to the character of Wlllard'a wounds, and Deputy Warden Martin testified to the fact of the killing, and also that prior to the killlug Wilson had been condnedfor forty-eight hours in a dark cell for attempting to escape. The witness was sharply cross-examined by Wilson as to the length of time he (Wilson) was confined in the dark cell, but could only testify as to the time recorded In the punishment book. The prisoner then asked If he (Wilson) bad not shown witness offensive meat, which had been furnished for rations? The prose cution objected to testimony of that character, and the Court ruled It out. At this stage of the trial, as It lld not tend to show that the killing was In self defense, though ii might be admitted at a later stage on some other question. Wilson said if this testimony was refused he had no further defenses but should leave the prosecution to go on as they saw fit. The Court asked the prisoner if he would allow his counsel to go on, aud he replied that they would have nothing further to do; that It would sate expense to the State to let the prosecu tion proceed alone. To a question of the Court counsel replied they had nothing to say. Wilson then turned his back to the Court and during the ex amination of the next witness, who was tho Chap lain of the Prison sat moody and obstinate till the Court adlourued, for a reees.
