The news, we daily recei;'e from Wishington, are always awful. Yellow Fever rages with great violence and the mortality is considerable. As to our town, the health is Mgtisfactory; we have not a single sick person amongst us, that is of yellow fever. We wish it would continue so. O'"We invite t• Delta, Picayune, Bulletin, Or- leanian and other papers to send their exchnnges to the Opelousas Courier and not to the Opelousae Ga- zette. Said paper has died for more than a year, and the Courier is now the ONLY paper published in the parish of St. Landry WrAeccording toa Il Uorrespondence, receiv- ed from Vermillionville, we learn that the Ope- louas' panic has also invaded our neighbors of La- fayette; most all the planters stop visiting Vermil- lienville; the town is a plain desert, and the plan- ters of the neighborhood are busily engaged in shutting hospitably their doors to travellers. Cote-Gelde, says the same correspondence, is healthy. The cotton-worms have made their ap- pearance 4about the coantry. The fever and chill is the only sickness prevailing. We have equally received a letter from Plaque- mine Brald from one of our Opelousas merchants, who had emigrated one of thtfirst; it appears that country-life .s not of his tastemilk and fresh pork not eactly his fancy. - We hope to see him in a couple of weeks, and treat him with a nice toddy. t"Several persons have, died of yellow fever in the parish of St. Martins. So says one of our currespondents. [Z7Por all hardened lumps, galls, stiffcomplaint, distemper, sore eyes, blindness, flatulent colic, sweeny, &c. in horses, H. G.

You will see, I have spare no pains or e*pees to relievethe citizens of Washington, and in ease my old friends, who reside in the "Big Boiler couon try" should want my aid again, as ijit839, I will be there in time;-also send them lnyen lp they Want from the Howards, and I fea toothattheywill Mon want help, as I hear bythe steamer Pleater to- day, that the yellow fever is in Pattersonville.
