JacUson, Mobile and Other Points.
NI-'.W ORLEANS, Oct 1-1.—Yesterday was the, record smasher in the number of deaths in a single (lay from yellow fever since the sickness was first reported in New Orleans.

Last evening there were nine fatalities reported. Heretofore the highest number of deaths in any one day has been six.
At the board of health last night there was discussion among the physicians as to whether the disease had assumed suddenly a more virulent form or wlu-ther an aggregation of circumstances had sent' up the list of deaths. There was division on the question.
The official report is: Deaths, '.): new cases, !5I. One case is reported from Plaquemines parish.
