1 Letter from the Hob. A. H. glrphei*.
CBAwroßDßVnj.s, 89th An?., 1856.
Mb Jouzs : Aheeoce from home for three weeks
and upward!*, ha. prevented me from noticing et
i »n earlier dale, several eommnnieot’ons referring
to myself, which have lately appeared in 'he
Chronic’.* A Sentinel. The first of these te which
I wi»h now to sey something in replv, was pob-
I shed in the issue of the *Sd inst., orerthe signs

allude to in my communication to yon on the 18th
July, as to the number of votes given for and
against tte Kansas Bill in the Northwestern
States, w?s one of thoee errors which frequently
occur in printed matter where the writer has not
an opportunity of examining and correcting the
proof, as was the case with me in that instance.
Bat !t was such an error with the whole statement
before him that could have misled no one. Tor
I gave tee Ayr and Aote from every State, and then
an analysis of the votes by Btates. No mistake ]
was detected id it. This analysis I here again in

Bat the error appeared in what followed:
“ From this it will be seen that tho tix North
western Slates, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, WißConain,
lowa and Michigan, where it ia eaid the Foreign
population controls tho elections, there were 2>
vote! given on the bill, of which there were 18
for it and 12 against it.”
And this sentence should have been printed
thus: 41 From this it will be seen that the five
North-western States to t oit, Illinois,” Ac. No
one I presume, not even 44 Burke,’’ or 44 T. J. R.,”
could suppose that I would have venturod such
au imposition upon the public, (if I had intended
to decoive or misrepresent) as to say that the votes
from Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Io *a, Wisconsin and
Miohig&n were but 25, when the analysis just
quoted was given as it stands, showing the num
ber to be 19 from Ohio alone, and 44 in all! and
when the name of every man bad been given.
But besides this 44 Burke” and 44 T. J. R. ’ must
have seen that this error originating as stated,
but calculated to mil lead no body, was put right
in a few days after in the same paper by the
publication of my speech at Appiing, when the
same subject was alluded to in these words;
44 In the five North western States, to wit—ln
diana, Illinois, lowa, Michigan and Wisconsin,
the whole vote on that bill in the House was 25
thirteen, a majority were for the b 11—while all the
New England States, six in number, gave but
three votes for the bill in the same body.”
From all this it certainly must appear, most
clearly that Ohio was not intended to be included
by me, in giving the votes from the North western
States. And that I am not properly chargeable
with any misstatement in this particular. But
notwithstanding this, tho latter writer indulges
in the following comments :
“What are tho fa ts in this case! 1 rely as a
member of the American party, upon the Con
gressional report and the ficts,and that report, too,
as published tor the inspection ct the people of
Georgia, by ts e Hon. Mr. Stephens. I will give
the vote as I get it from the republished report of
Mr. Stephens, aud leave every Georgian to judge
for himself of tho blunder of the gentleman.
The vote of those six States is as follows ;
Ohio, Ass. 4 Neg. 15 Total 19
Indiana, 44 7 44 8 10
Illinois, 44 8 44 5 8
Wisconsin, 44 0 44 2 2
I >wa, 44 1 44 0 1
Michigan, 44 2 44 2 4
17 Total 27 No. of votes 44
Majority of votes in the negative 10.
Thus stands the vote of those six Btatos where
foreign population controls the election. So far
from castiDg only 25 votes as Mr. 8. says, there
were 44. And so far from giving a n ajority of
one to the Kansas and Nebraska bill, they gave a
majority of Un against it.
What has Mr. 8. and the entire anti Know Noth
ing party to say to thts! What h& w e southern anti-
An e*i cans to say to these startling facts. What
have the defenders of foreigners, and the advo
cates of their power, and right to rule, to say to
tlii> !
Men are too prone to take the satemootsof their
superiors as law and gospel. It will do in some
States where the people have no voice in the e'ec
tions of their State officers, but it is time or Geor
gians, who have the sole power oi electing all their
principal officers, to lose sight of such a course and
investigate for themsolves.
Look but to tacts and you will see the ne
cessity of investigating for yourselves. Now, while
the loreign population in those States control the
elections, and we see them giving their support
against the interests of tho South, tne anli-A i eri
cao party would make us believe that they voted
in fa-'or of our interest®.
Yet notwithstanding the chicanery, and the
cunnirg, and the wire workings ot the Anti-Ame
rican party, (self styled democracy,) 1 am proud
to know, or believe, that the day has come when
southern men, when national men of every sec
tion, are deaf to the wranglirgs of Demagogues ;
and the sons of Georgia have risen up in their in
tellectual majesty and said to all party leaders no
lenger shall l servo you.
Mr. Stephe s says in concluding his communi
cation, “these are important facts for the Soutn to
be informed upon and to consider well,” Ac. Iu
this I a ree with him. It was in view of the im
portance, to the South, of the elections of those
six Slates that caused me to examine tho record,
and this communication to make the result known
to the readers of the Republican. T. R. J.
From this, it would seem, that his whole object
was to show, that in the entire North-west inclu
ding Ohio, there was a majority of Un against the
righ s of the Scotb, and this is attribut' d to the
controlling influence of the foreign vote in that sec
tion. He admits, that the South got a majority of
the votes from all the North-western States, leav
ing out Ohio, (and that is all I asserted) but in
cluding that State, he shows that there was a ma
jority of 10 against ns. This is true. Nor have I
ever intended to say any thing to the contrary.
But this majority of ten against us, according to
his argument, if l understand it, »» owing to the
foreign vote. And he asks me, what I have to say
to thief I tell him plainly, I have t . is to say—that in
no part of the North, even according to his own
showing, did the rights of the South fare as well
as they did in all these tix States where he says the
foreign vote controls. Out of 44 votes on the
question in them, there was but a majority of ten
against us. Bat how was it in the six New Eng
land States where it seems to be admitted that the
foreign vote does not control T Look at the analysis
above and see.

r ni-.ioteotenis of mine as those of either “Barfce’
or “T J. B.”
Another writer whom I wish to notice sign
himse'f “Pok,” and made his appearance in th
Chronic’.* <t Sentinel a few days ago. Be, t o, fol
lowing in the footsteps of his illustrious predeces
sors seems desirous to make the impression that,
had not stated accurately he number of Catholic!
in this country in aome speech I made in Jefferson
it is true he does not make the charge directl)
but says he was informed that I had stated the
number to be but about 600,000, and then he goot
on to say as follows :
“ This is a great mistake. By taming to the
“Compendium of the Seventh Censes,” by J. D.
B. Dcßow, at page 188, the cumber of ail the re
ligious denominations will be found. As manv of
yotr readers may not have the book referr d to

merons.

do. do. (Bonth) .....465,558
These are the number of members the C’hnrcbes
nsmed had in 1850.” Polk.
New, in my speeches in Jeffereon and elsewhere
when 1 epoke of the estimated numbers ol Catho
lics and other religious denominations in the
United States, I read from the official Census returns
—to be found in the Compendium of the Census
of 1850, on page 186 and 187 the very book hero
referred to by “Polk”—and from which it will be
seen that the estimated number of Catholics is put
down at 675,721 —the number of the Methodist
at 4,854,101 —the number of Baptists at 8,248,
680—the number of Presbyterians at 2,079.504
—these estimate* I stated were founded upon
the extent of Church accommoia tion. And rested
upon the assumption that each denomination had
Church accommodation for at least all its members.
Here is the table I read Irons, taken from the
census, which I hope you will publish, that all
who have a desire can road for themselves, and
then see whether I made “ a great mistake,” to de
ceive the people or not.
[Hebe follows a ODg table, entirely too large to
be into our columns, showing the “ Church ac
commodations of the United States in 1850,” which
means nothing more or less, than what number of
people can be seated in the Caurches of the differ
ent denominations. It has no reference whatever
to the number of Church members of the different
denominations. So that all Mr. Stephens’ de
ductions from this table refer exclusively to how
mary persons the Churches will hold, and not to
how many church members there are.
The table from which “ Polk ” copied the num
ber of church members in the United States, was
taken by Deßow, the Superintendent of the Cen
sus, from the “ Baptist Almanac for 1850,” and
published in the “ Census Compendium,” page 188,
with corrections by Deßow himself.— Ed. Chroni
cle A Sentinel ]
This table shows some pertinent facts which I
have called the attention of the people to—partic
ularly those who seem to entertain so mnch alarm
about the Catholics takirg the country—and I will
repeat some of them here. In Louisiana, where
there was not a Protestant Church at the time of
acquisition, it will be seen, that according to these
official estimates, there are now, or were in 1850,
only 87,780 Catholics—whi’e there are 16,660 Bap
tists, 88,180 Methodists and 9 510 Presbyterians,
besides other Protestant denominations—the Cath
olics being very little over a third of the whole
number. In Florida, which was also Catholic at
its acquisition, there are now 11,985 Baptiste, 20,015
Methodist, Ac.—while there are but 1,850 Catho
lics. And in old Maryland herself, the original
Catholic colony, there were in 1850 bat 81,100
C tholics—while there were 22,685 Presbyterians,
15,950 Baptists and 181,715 Methodist. Is this
showing calculated to awaken the fear of Protes
tants ? These are the official estimates that I read
and presented to the people. It was my intention
to impose upon no one. But what will the public,
who have not these official documents to refer to
think of the statement of “ Polk,” when they are
informed that his table is not taken from the “cen
sus” proper at all.
But he extracts from a note made in the official
document by Mr. Deßow, referring to a statement
that he had seen in some Almanac /
My own opinion is, that the offiiial report is the
best authority. It was that that I read, and upon
that I relied. The “ Almanac estimates ” in the
note were also referred to, and the people were
left to judge between them as they saw fit. De
ception nor misrepresentation was not my object
then or now.
Another writer in your paper I cannot permit to
pass unnoticed—l mean “Gironde.” In your issue
of the 9th inßt. he replies to my previous call upon
him to state what part of my speech at the City
Hall in May last was calculated to stir up sedition,
Al, by giving what he calls 1 extracts” from that
speech. This is what he says :
Here follows the extracts :
1. We bavj b en associated with the Jacobins
of revolutionary France. Page 8, col. 1.
2. We are charged with being an organization
of bare, 44 making Truth aby word and a reproact,
violating the very first principles of the Deca
logue.” Our Protestant clergymen, even, are
accused ot countenancing the enormous sin of
lying. Page 4, cols. 1 and 2.
8. We are charged with being secret conspira
tors, e'se, 44 why meet in secret co clave, like
Demons in Pandemonium!” Page 4, col 2.
4. We are charged with being revolutionists,
traitors, and instigators to civil war. Page 5, col 1.
5. We are charged with provoking fort iguers
and Koman Catholics to fight; “if I were pro
scribed on account of my religious views and
opinions, as the Roman Catholics are, by this
secret order, I would fight, fight, FIGHT 1” Pago
5, col. 2.
Now “Gironde” must know that the speech
he refers to contains no such language as that
which he publishes as “extracts.” What I did
say on page 5 col. 2., and following is this:
This movement, fellow-citizens, little as you
may think of it, is revolutionary in its character.—
And though at first appearance it may seem to be
a very peaceful and bloodless revolution, yet the
“end” is to come alter. It is the first step in this
country since the adoption of the Constitution,
which, if followed np, will lead inevitably to civ
d war, and ultimately to an overthrow of this Gov
ernment. It proposes to put a large c.ass of as
true native born citizens as any in the United
States, under the ban of civil proscription. And
whenever any government denies to any class of
its citizens any equal participation in the privi
leges, immunities and honors enjoyed by ail oth
ers, it parts with all just claims to their allegi
giance. Alh giance is due only so long as protec
tion is extended ; and protection necessarily im
plies an equality of right to stand or fall, according
to merit, amongst all the members ot society or
the citizens of the commonwealth. When native
Catholics, theretore, or any other class of citizens,
be they Methodist or Baptist or Presbyterians, are
practically denied the equality ot right in the ad
ministration of their government, they will natur
ally become its enemies ; and they ought to—the
result sooner or later wilt be strile—civil discord
and civil war. Men so situated sooner or later
will tiirht; the best of our Protestant friends, un
dsr like circumstances, would fight too. Fvr the
best ot men, after al , hive enough of the cld leav
en of human nature left about them to fight when
they feel agrieved—outraged and trampled upon ;
and strange to say, w/ en men get to fightiDg about,
religion they fight harder, and lODger, and more ex
terminatingiy than uponauy other subject. The his
tory ot the world teaches this. Many of the bloody
wars Ibat re-t as a blot and stain upon Christendom
attest it. The tendency of this movement, then-
fore, so far as this branch of it is concerned, is to
civil war—just as inevitably an a collision of two
engines meeting on your railroad track, unless
checked in thei> progress. It is tbe first move
raent of the kind since the formation ol our Gov
ernment. Already we see the spirit abroad which
is to eE kindle tbe fires and set the faggots a blrzmg
—not by the Catholics—they are comparatively
few and weak; their omy safety is in the shield of
the constitutional guaranty; minorities seldom as
sail majorities; and persecutions always begin with
the larger numbers against tbe smaller. But this
spirit is evinced by one of the numerous replies to
my letter. He says: “We call upon the children
of the Puritans of the North and the Hoguenoto of
the South, by the remembrance of the fires of
Smilhfield and the bloody St. Birtholomew, to lay
down tor once all sectional difficu.ties,” Ac., and
to join in this great American movement of pros
cribing Catholics. What is this but the tocsin of
intestine strife! Wny call up the remembrance of
the fires of Smithfiild, but to whet the Protestant
appetite for vengeance? Why Etir up the quiet
ashes of bloody St. Bartholomew, but for the hope,
perhaps, of finding therein a slumbering spark
from vhich new fires may be started! Why ex
heme the atrocities, cruelties and barbarities of
ages gone by irom the repose in which they have
been buried for hundreds ot years, unless it ba to
reproduce the seeds and spread amongst us the
same mora; infection and loathsome contagion? jast
as it is said the plague is sometimes occasioned in
London by disentombing and expos ng to the at
mosphere the latent virus of the fell disease still
lingering in the dusty bones ol those who died of
it centuries age!
Fellow Citinns— Fellow-Protestents—Fe'low
Americana ail »lo reference the constitn
tion ot yonr country, I entreat yon, and I invoke

> als. These sleeping embers, if stirred, may
tindie fires that yon cannot extinguish, bn*, in
which yon yourselves and all yon hoid most dear,
may be cons med. It was to guard against all
snch scenes as were witnessed at Smithfield, and
each butcheries as were :nficted upon poor, inot
ten.-ivs Catholics in their turn by infuriated Pro
testants, that that wise provision was pnt in our
Constitution, with the view of forever excnling
religion from politics. As long as the constitution
shall be preserved and maintained in its letter end
epirit on this subject, eucb scenes csn never occur
with us. What is the chiefeat of all our liberties
that we boast of but that every man in this
oountry oan sit down under his own vine and
fig tree and worship God as he pleases wtai e
there is none to molest or to make him afraid !
Why is it that on each babbalh morning in yonr
City, too see the venous aggregations assemblies
peaceably and quietly to their respective churches
—some to the Baptist, some to the Methodist soma
to the Presbyterian, some to the Episcopal some
to the Catholics, and some doubtless to various
others, but all to their own liking; and after service
returning in the seme noiet peeaful andchriatjdn
manner to their homes I Wby are such seunes
witnessed every seventh day in the week through
oat this oonlederecy ot Elates I It is not so in o her
countries, end why is it so in this ? And why has
it been so ever since the government was formed !
It is because of that provision in our Constitution
which secures the right of conscience, and banishes
from this land the fell Damon of religions intoler
ance. The object or this movement is 'o nullify
that provision—to strike it down—to parades*, if not
to cat eff this strong arm, outstretched tor the pro
i taction of all. It was pat there by Baldwin, the
*- Pmußnoys, Msoiaon, Hamilton, and vVashiugton.

arch-enemy ot ths moral government ot tho Uni
verse approached our common moit.er, Eve, in the
8 garden of innocense, unde: the anise ot a serpeut,
e the subilest oi all animals. He approached her,
too, with a ie in his moutb. He said to her, that
it she eat of tbe forbidden fruit “tbonshslt not
1 surely die.” She believed him—eho was derived

father ot bis country, at tne r head, have said
_ *‘But no religiou- teet i?hall ever be reqTired a« a

5 I have given the whole of what I said on that

but a solemn warning to my country me i not to

followed up, lead to strife, sedition, discord and

But who is to bltimo for the result if ii ensue—
the man who proclaims the unerring truth, even
beforehand if you pteaee, or he who wantonly in
flicts the wroDgs and injuries which necessarily
produce it ?
Bat “Gironde” says to me as follows:
“If you bo returned to Congress, I shall be sat
irffied that yon will represent me truly. Yet. 1
must say, you wi i appear eadly oute f place, to be
found ‘cheek by jowl 1 with such men i s Marcy,
Dix, Cushing, the Van Burens and Buffalo Platform
men—men whom you have hitherto denounced '
and should continue to enounce as inimical to the |
South. For this reason, as you have abandoned '
the only truly national party—the party that
eschews all these men and tno adherents every '
where—l would prefer seeing you superseded -y
one wholly freed from su ih party associations.
That you could be coriupted by them, I have not
he remotest idea. That you culd not approach '
them with the seme show of reason or confidence
of success, as another, not allied to them by party j
ties could, you yourself will scarcely deny.”
To this ho will permit me to eay to him in reply, t
that I thank him for the confidence he says ho has
in my representing him truly in the event I should
be elected. And he need be under no apprehen
sions of my beirg found 44 ch?ck by jowl” with
any of the Buffilo Platform meu. Ot this, l think
he feels confident, even without any assurance
from me. But whether he can lay the same “flat
tering unction to his soul” as to my successor, in
case of my defeat, is a matter he had better look
to in time.
Many of the most prominent Buffalo Platform
men are now shining lights in the Kuow Nothing
Party— 44 the only truly Rational Party ” in the
opinion of Gironde. John P.Eale was one of the
movers of the Buffalo movement. The Know
Nothings have latel / sent him to the United States
Senate from New Hampshire. And who bat the
“Kuow Nothing” Buffalo Platform men sent
Trumbull to the Senate from Illinois over Shields?
And who but the same men sent Harlan to the Sen
ate over Dodge, of lowa ? This “ only truly Na
tional Parly” has certainly a strange way at the
North of 44 eschewing ” Buffalo Platform Froesoilers.
If I were disposed to get “cheek by jowl” wuh any
of the Buffa.o Platform men, I kuow of no surer
way of doing it thau by joining the “order.” There
is not a man of the party or fraternity, call it what
you will, North of Mason and Dixon’s line that I
have ever heard of, who was not opposed to the
Kansas bill. If Gironde or nybody else can name
a single exception, 1 shall be glad ’o hear it.
Who, then, can mv ‘‘Know Nothing” successor,
if I am defeated, ofiliate with or get “cheek by
jowl” with in this greai National Party, so far as
the South is concarned but Anti Southern and
Anti-Kansas mens
But enough at present on this subject. One
word in reply to Mr. Raiford’s complaints, and I
will bring this communication to a close. He
says 1 would not discuss with him on fair terms
nt Davis’Springs. In this 1 thick he is mistaken.
Besides the terms 1 oilercd, as he states, I pro
posed to speak as long as I might feel it neces
sary to discuss the questions now before the coun
try, not to exceed two hours and a quarter—per
haps it m'gbt not be so long—and for him to
speak just as long as I did, and three quarters of
an hour longer, and then for me to close in three
quarters of an hour—this agreement he declined
to accede to. But it certainly gave him an eqvali
ty of time, the poi .t Ko complains most of. But
it was the best I could do without depriving my
se f of the opportunity ot Deing heard by the
people of that section fully upon those topics l
went there by my own appointment to address
them upon. Youn», respectfully,

Progress cf (He Fever la Norfolk and Portsmouth.
I We extract from tbe Richmond Dispatch, cf
Monday, 81 inst., tbe following intelligence:
The aceonnts from t-e Infected otties a-eofa
’ mest melancholy character. Ia Norfolk, on Fri
lere were ft*ty burials, and nine deaths after
tiw hst up.
Tho Augusta, Saturday evening, brought up
sovei-a, persons who had gone down to tend the
mck, some of them havi g yielded to tho earnest
advice of physicians, who aseured them that to
remain was almost certain death. Among thorn
are l>r. Hicks, of Charlottesville: Mr. Cl«rk, of
Petersburg; and Messrs. McDermott, Jordan,
acn Doran, of Richmond.
Qar mfofmsn,, who lsttNo folk Saturday, says
teat the biaie of thiegs there is truly appatiir e.—
Wfiile walking one of tho princip I streets, he
saw a mail lyiuf? on a cellar cap, In almost the av
ony of death, with noon in s.gbt ot him, A lit
tle further on he saw a young uhild rush scream

oua of horpareuta had just died, »ud the other
was lying ou a bad of death.
Mr. Iguatius Higgins, Teller of the Virginia
Bank, was thought to ha dying ou Friday. The
R<v. Wm. Dibrell, as wc have ascertained on reli
able authority, was ill ou Friday. Mr. J do. Brock.,
grocer, was down with the fever. Ou Beaver et.
there are a great many eases, among them Wm.
Britzil and his wife. Miss Catharine Ba) lor, an
interesting young lad of fifteen years, died od
Friday morn.ng. Four of Lieu'. Whittle’s chit

Dr. Hardgrovo, Dr. Crow, and Walter Soott, of
Richmond, uro all down, and the latter ia verv ill.
Mr. Wm. Oaiu, proprietor ot Cam's Hotel, in
Norfolk, and J. C. Shield, former editor ol thj Nor

Two Philadelphia physicians are reported to
have died.

the infected cities on Friday.
Tho following is from tie Narfolk Argus :
Had / Sad !—Truly our soul is sickened and de
pressed at the gloom uow hunviug over onr devo
tt deity. The sword of the Desiroyer is stil sus
peuded over us, ana ever and a noudcscends and
sweeps Irom cur midst some ol tho noblest of our
people. All that human effort—all that tho stir
sacrificing spirit of the few who remain with u»,
cae accomplish, has b»en done to turn a*ido tho
devastating progress of the scourge which the Al
mighty in his wisdom has inflicted upon us. Mer
ciiiesMy has it taken friend from friend, parent
from offspring, offipring from parent, brother from
sister, sister from brother, husband from wife,
wile from husband—sparing neither youth nor
age nor loveliness. There is nothing to relieve
tho darkness around but the exertions of those
gallant spirits who soem determined to do their
duty with a self devotion which will ever reflict
honor upon their efforts. May they reap tho Cnris
tian’s reward.
Fever in PoßnaruTH.— Tbe Portsmouth Tran
script, which was issued on Friday again, has the
following review of bis field of mi-fortuno since
its issue four days before :
The number of patients vTited in town on Wed
nesday, reached about five hundred, including new
cases. O i Tuesday tho deaths numbered 18
Aud on Wednesday 11 ied. These data the wri
ter has collected from the reports of the attendant
physicians, and an allowance for those who failed
to report. On Thursday the number visited
amounted to five hundred and fifty, including 81
new cases. The doaths, a9 reported by au
thority, werelhirteou rn town aud fourteen at tho
U. 8. Naval Hospital, making a total of sevo- tseu.
It is the opinion of the pro'ess on that the disease
is assuming or ha 3 assumed a milder type.
The statements just mala, exclude the cases un
der treatment at the U. 8. Naval Hospital. We
were there Sunday last, aud have boon there daily
with some exceptions since. Thore has been a
diminution of cases sent there, and tho doathsalso
have been less during the week. The number ot
our people there approaches nearly eighty. Every
attention is bestowed upon them, and Surgeon
Minor, a gentleman of ability and onlurged ex
perience, with his talented assistants, Steele,
Harrison anrl Waiko, are indefatigable in their
care aud ministrations to those under their charge.
Oar indefatigable Mayor is yet down, but, wo
trust will puss through the disease aud bo enablo
in duo time ore enter upon bis duties. He has
been devoted to the service required of him, and
has nobly co operated in the charitable work which
demands the co operation of all of ns who remain.
Winchester Watts, E-q., and Dr. Maupin are
entirely recovered. They dined at the residence
of Mr. John G. Hatton ©n Friday.
Sam lel A. Forbes is dead.
Dr. Maupiu at the Hospital, is convalescent; and
Dr. Schoolfield iB occasionally seen upon our
streets, but two enfeebled yet to resume his pro
lessional dutioß. We now have ample medical at
tendance—tho “Macedonian call” bavii g been
nobly responded to by our friends abroad.
Such is the poreo al state of matters, and al
though the number of sick does not decrease, yet
we are perhaps now in bettor condition to respond
to the necessities of the times, than we have boon
heretofore.
It appends the following report of the deaths

A letter dated on Thursday lrom Boris mouth,
says :
Tho deaths of to-day, up to 8 o’clock, have been
fourteen—twelve in town atd two at the hospital.
Bdoware seme of tho names: Mrjor Samuel For
bes, Mrs. William Gwyun, child of Win. Brough
ton, Bill, neg»o boy, belonging to John Cocke. A
negro man belonging io Miss Bricqnot was found
dead this morning in a kitchen on Broad R ck.—
Mrs. Colonel Charles Cassol, Mrs. John E. Davis,
and Virginias H ynts, her son, were taken with
he fever thisraoruing ; also, Ned, a negro boy,
belonging to J. W. Collins.
There is so little communication between Nor
folk and Portsmouth that we hear bit little from
the former place.
1 have just learned that Miss Morriret, daugh
ter of Robert Morriset, of Newtown, is dead. Mrs.
Mary Bohanon is also dead.
John Eramorson is out, having recovered. His
brother Authur aud Mrs. Armibtead are both
well.
A great many reports 1 avo been in circulation
in regard to J. Gustuvus Holliday. Esq. The truth
of the maltor is, that by his constant, endeavors to
relieve the sick aud destitute, ho over txeried him
self, and wont to the Naval Hospi ul for a day or
two to recruit himself. This is the whole truth of
the matter.
Lateb from Norfolk and Portsmouth.—By
way of Telegruph from Petersburg, we are placed
in possession of tho moat melancholy news from
Norfolk aud Portsmouth.
Rev. Anthony Dibbell, one <*f the most widely
known ministers in Virginia, <Jed on Saturday.
Ignatius Higgins, of the Exchange Bank, died
on Saturday.
John Andrews, a member of the Norfolk Bluer,
also die*! on Saturday.
lu Portsmouth tho ravages of ti e fever are rep
resented as awful. Yesterday morning Captain
Alien of the Seaboard and Rcmnoke Rulroad, was
taken with black vomit > t the Naval Hospital, and
his recovery was considered hopeless.
On Saturday, John Wood ley, Dr, Collins’ ne
phew, died.
Thore was eighteen deaths from fever in Ports
mouth Saturday, and from sunset Saturday eve
ning to sunrise yesterday morning, orders were
given for tilteeD coffins.
Dr. Leon Gelbardt, of Richmond, arrived in Pe-
tersburg yesterday evening, from Portsmouth,
completely exhausted. Hjpays Le
and has not had the fever. He vas shu .ned at
the depot, as if he had been a wild beast. He
took lodgings in the town, and was hospitably
cared lor.
The gallant Ricardo of New Orleans had tele
graphed to that c ty for twenty more nurses.
The accounts from the two infected cities arc ap
palling.
Norfolk and Poratmouth.
The Richmond Dispatch, of Tuesday, the 4‘h
inst., says : Terrible and heartrending are the ac
counts of tbe ravages of disease among our follow
citizens of Norfolk and Poitsmouth. Wo refer
our readers to tho followirg distressing details.
With a population reduced in Norfolk, to from
8,000 to 5,000, and in Portsmouth te 1200, say
some others 2,000 —the mortality in the former
on Bunday was 50, seme accounts say 60, the latter
821
Yesterday we learned that there were not coffins
to bury the dead; and some 125 wore collec'ed
by of this city, and are sent down this
morning on the Curtis Peck. We hope our un
dertakers will put hands to work and make up
others as rapidly as possible. Gid forbid that any
of the dead in our sister cities should be buried
without ceffios.
A correspondent informs us that tho people of
Norfolk and Portsmouth, intend to appeal to
the General and State Governments to grant the
means of removal for their entire population to
Old Point and elsewhere. If it be practicable, we
trus‘ it may be done. Any thing that can save
their lives or mitigate their afflictions—in God’s
name, let it be done.
Norfolk, Bept. Ist, 6 P. M.—The new Hospital,
under the superintemiency of Mr. Marks of New
Orlean-, was thrown open for the reception of the
sick, yesterday morning. It iB the large building
on Main stieet, formerly known as the City Hotel,
and occupied bv tnat prince of landlords, Mr. Bray
B. Walters. Though the situation is confide ed
as being in one of the most intec'ed districts, wo
have no doubt that the patients, if attentive treat
ment and good nursing can be of any avail, will do
wall, and stand a better chance of recovery, than
if left nncared for at their own houses, A good
corps of nurse-* are engaged, and Maiks, a “bout
in himself,” will be constantly in attendance, and
see that everything is done that can ba, for the
comfort and convenience of the sick.
The receDt change in the weather, from a e’ear

Dr. C. H. Jones, of this city returned from Nor
folk and Portsmouth, in the steamer Louisiana this
morning, aud has furnished us with the following
statement:
The existing state of things is beyond all de
scription. The disease is on the increase, aud has
assumed a more mal>guant form. There is hardly
anyone to bury the dead. On Sunday, in Nor
lolk, thero forty dead bodies which could not be
interred for want of coffins and persons to bury
them. Dr, J. was informed by Col. Ferguson,
President of the Howard Association, that there
in Norfolk, 1,000 cases, aud in Portsmouth
400.

Mayor Fisk is ill, and will probably die.
The sick are suffering for want of nurses in
Portsmouth, every one of those from tho South
having mopped Norfolk.
In tho Norfolk Hospital on Sauday night thore
were sixteen deaths.
A committee of fourteen from Hampton, came
up in the Louisiana aud proceeded on to Wash
iugtoi to make an effort to procure the use of
Old Point Comfort for the entire population of
Norfolk and Portsmouth, until the disease entire
ly disappears.
vVe have been permitted to publish the follow
ing extract from a letter, received this mornin/,
lrom Dr. Webster, of this city, to hia father:
Portsmouth, Sept. 8, 1858.
Dear Father: —Tho mortality io this place >es
te«duy was truly appalling—the report of deaths
being no less than thirty one. Last night my
room mate, Dr. Ringer of Philadelphia, was at
tacked with the fever. Ho seems impressed with
a presentment that he will not recover, and this |
morning made his will. He has been one of tbe t
most iudefatigable physicians in our midst, add ,
we bad become almost as intimate as brothers.
I send you some specimens of a fly which made t
its appearance in Portsmouth yesterday, destroy- j
ing nearly all the fruit in the place. Every house ,
is tall of them. 1 would thank you to show them f
to Dr. Kemp. c
Dr. Ringer’s sickness has added greatly to my j
labors, and I am nearly broken down.
H. W. Webster. ]
As our paper is going to press we hear that Wm. t
E. Cunningham, Esq., senior editor of the Be con, r
is no more ! Compelled to suspend his editors! c
duties, 1 e devoted himself to attending on tho sick, a
tad has fallen a martyr to tho cause of humanity, t
The twenty four hours ending yesterday at 2p. 1
m., shows a frightful mortality. Twenty nine
deaths are registered, and one hundred more have e
been ordered, which is doubtless short of the ac u- t
al number. Between 40 and 50 is said to havo 1
been the number of burials; but Borne were of 1
persons who died within the preceding 24 hours, <
and were kept over for wont of coffins to infer
them ! A startling fact! Fifty coffins were re
ceived from Baltimore on Sunday.
The Plague Smitten Cities.—The Richmond
Dispatch of Wednesday sth inst. contains tho, fol
lowing :
The news from the infected cities continues of
of the mostappalling nature. Our conospoudent
in Norfolk is unab eto give us full details; throe
members of his own family being down with the
lever and he their only nurse 1 He preseut-i a
general picture which is one of the most terrible
we have ever read of. Among the dead are Mayor
Fisk, ot Portsmouth; Wm. E. Cunninvhim, ot
tho Beacon ; Mr. Gatewood, the Junior Editor of (
the Be icon, is attacked. Dalton Wheeler, of ihe
Howard Association, is down. This heroic body
of men is almost used up. One of their body
wrote on Sunday that ho aud three others were all
that wore le t of ten.
The people of Hampton, and the refugees
of Norfolk and Portsmouth, met in Hampton
Monday, and determined to petition the State and
General Governments for aid, in translating the
entire people of tbe infected cities to Old Point.
Committees were a pointed to visit Washington
and this city, to carry out the objects of the meet
ing. 'Hie cornmi'tee for this city arrived here last
nigh 4 ; but the Governor being übeent, the object
of their visit is, in a measur , obstructed. We
commend this committee and their humane pur
poses to our cit zins and city authorities. If any
thing can be suggested to forward their mission,
we trust it will be brought out. It is a time to
act. Our brethren of Norfolk and Portsmouth are
perishing, as s-üble before the fire, and if any
thing can be done to snatch them from their im
pending fate—it would almost seem annihilation—
it should be done at once.
We are pained to learn that Dr. Gooch, of this
city, was ons dired to be »n a dying condition
when the steamer yesterday morning 1
Dr. William Leiden came opto the city yester
day, having 'ccovered from the fever. He is so
much reduced as to be unable to resume his pro
fusion fur the present, but will return to Norfolk
after he recruits a little.
The panic in Norfolk is very much itcreased.
Though the mortallity is much greater than it has
been, it cannot be ai-certained with accuracy. The
officials, the Hurgeons, those who attend the sick,
end those who dispose of the d<ad, arefca'lover
tasked aud system and order are interrupted.
Norfolk, Sept. B —s P. M.
Until a late hour of the night tho dismal car of
death was heard rattling o’er the pavement, b ar
ing its unfortunate occupants to Potter’s Field.
The burials yesterday, from Bunrij-e to 12 o’clock
at night, at least 45—and it was found impossible,
with the limited conveyances at hand, to
of them before the hour ab ive mentioned. As it
was, many poor victims had to go under the ground
boxed but unctfined, owing to the scarcity of coffins,
wbi h, in many instances, two and three w*ao
laid sioe by side ’ogether in a coarse box hastily
constructed for the purpose, and so interred, liko <
a common case of merchandise! These sad
scenes, and tbe large mortality, have struck a new
panic in the few people remaining, and this morn
ing over one hundred persons left the city. It is
supposed that numbers of others will follow, and
thbt by the close of the week our present small
population will be diminished by at lea>t five or
six hundred. And, in fact, wo cannot blame tho
people—those who are not bound here by ties cf
duty and honor—from flvin 4 lrom this horrible
depot of disease and death I
It requires a greater amount of moral courage to
remain from day to day, and feoe the invisible de
stroyer who attacks in so many insidious and pro
tean forms, than to bear the shock of twenty
pitched battles. If any one wishes to see the pic
tnre of “destruction and death” in its most sor
rowiul form, let him take a walk to our Potter’s
field any morning before seven o’clock. He will
then see numbers of ccffli- scattered prcm'Bcu' us
ly on the ground, emitting a most horrible eftiu
viam, left there the previous night lor interment
I the Dext morning. Sometimes these fh°lls of
mortality, for the want of a sufficient number of
grave diggers, are left rotting and stink ; ng in tho
f sun during the greater part of the day. Vebdad.
> On Sunday morning, the fly known as the
s “plague fly,” appeared in Norfolk. It is a flat in
j sect, with black back and red belly, and has very
large wings. In 1 ortsmouth they were so thick
3 in the streets as to annoy persons walking, and
a induced them to place a covering over their fao b.
s The appearance of this fly is generally considered
a good om.n, as it is supposed to devour the ma
laria.
r The city council of Norfolk, have appointed a
q committee to superintend the digging of trenches

J There la scarcely a family iuths city that has not

deaths in one day is an awful mortality out ot a
population of some six thousand, ell told, and wo
oeheve is uupsraleiled in tho history of (he rava

oilier diat* cases wo have to add now that of being
unable, from the scarcity of workmen, of burying
tho doad as expeditiously as they should be; aud
numbers yesterday lay oil their bids putritying,
and rendering the almosphore deadly poisonous

and among these tho mortality is positively awfnl i
—worse than anything yet written of the visita
tions of the plague. On Sunday there were up- g
wards of „ fifty burials, and what is the most painful f
part ot tlie matter, is that all the bodies wire not t
buried that ought to have ho n—such is tho do- t
maud of doad mortality for its final homo. a
Two doors Irom whore we are writing there lies v
a festr ring corpse, which has been decomposing *
for nearly forty eight hours. The taouso is empty, b
with the exception of its dead occupant—tho il
fourth corpse in the heuse wi'hin a week. But one k

A Charleston physician, who visitod Norfolk
speaks of his arrival there, and says: Tr.e Hcspi I
lal *as entirely unregulated, and 200 patients
many ot them negroes, were crowded into it. An
apothecary shop, however, had boon opened in one
of the rooms. ,
The buildings wero divided into wards each of 1
which was committed to the charge ot the different *
delegations. Nos 2 and 8 had been assign- *
ed to the Charleston delegation under Dr. W illituun 1
and the whole establishment begun to assume an
o der and efficiency, the effects of which were toon ‘
exhibited. Ou thursday night seven died, and
Friday and Saturday there was no death, aud sev
eral cases were convalescing.
The same physician says : u The great *ant is of
nurses. I wae sent the next moi ning after my cr-
Vul to attend upon a sick family, and found the (
mother and three children all sick in bed; the (
husband had died during the afternoon ; thoro was
no one but a negro child, about three years old, to t
do an act of service, aud no person but the Doctor t
had looked upon teem for the space of 48 hours
before. Os the desolation some idea may be form- (
od from the fact that the apothecaries at the City ,
Hospital were endeavoring to nu r se a baby whose j
father, mother, and every relative had died ; they |
took it by turns, and washed and cared for it as j
well as they could. |
Dogs deserted by their owners, and without
food wore howling through the stroels, and made
the place more dismal.
A Charleston physician thinks the disease the
same as that which periodically iffl'Cts ’hat city,
though our Portsmouth correspondent is informed |
by the physiciaua that it is genuine Alrican yellow j
fever. \

road accident was caused by the Iran running
backwards and the car dess driving of J)r.

the engineer, and suggests thut some rule should

Paris, July 26, 1856.—DiarSir : As I know you
feel great interest in our enchanting country
man, Madam Li V , and her fair young daugh

tho pleasure ot mooting the n several timey during
the past week: first at a splendid ball given by 111 i
Couutess Walewski; and, again lest ni lit, at the ro
ception of Prince Napo eon Bonaparte, President
ot the “Exposition Univorsalo.”
Ah an American, I fee; a national pride in this
brilliant woman, celebrated in both hemi ihero*,
Lot only for her beauty, genius and elegance, but
also for her solid and varied learning—and accom
plished as one ot the best linguist* I huvo over mo’.
At both these eoiroos she bus been tho centre of
on admiring circle, composed of diatingnshc t
men and women of Europe, literary and \ oliticat.
1 have boon more than over charmed with fu r
elegant and ho f possessed ma uoth—so entirely
natural and refined ; and many have shored with
me in the delight imparted by her convortjat.o.’,
sparkling with wit and origirmity.
Indeed, it is no exaggerated compliment of 1 or
to say, she exercises u reaping influence upon ull
who approach her.

French, Spanish, English, ltn ians, listen to hor
with delight, for sho addrepsos thorn with unequal
cd gruce. / mid all the admiration of socify, sho
retains her simplicity and d gmty ol charuc *.r. To

warm, kind heart. Sho is truly “suns caprice,”
and never forgets her absent friends in the wel
come she gives to those newly found.

Doings in Kansas —We perceive by the corres
pondence ot the dt.Loais Democrat that the L g a
latnre ot Kansas has had the prudence to reject the
propo ition to call a Convection of the people of
that Territory in October next to frame a Constitu
tion preparatory to asking admission into the
Union as a State. The committoe to which *ho
propcwition was referred reported.— Naihville Ban
ner.
“That it would be prematu *e to provide for the
calling of a Convention to form aS ale C institution
without fin t submitting the question to the people
at the polls as to whether they desire uch a step
to be taken, even if the proposition wan concludo i
that we possess by the pr< posed time the r< quisite
population. There are other reasons of importance
which would tend to the conviction that the bill is
premature, which will appear from a mere sugges
tion. Kansas wi I apply lor admisß.on as a sfavo
State, an 1, if admit cd at a 1, it m is*. be done part
ly by Northern votes. Iu the present state of
faoaiical excitement ex s ing iu some of non slave
holding States there is some doubt whether wu
would be admitted into the Union wi'U a slavery
clause in our constitution; for it will be charnel
that Kansas do;s not pcaseas the requmte popula
tion—a charge which cannot bo stuiiscal > and
officially related. In viow of all the circuiiis»»inc* s,
the committee a.e of the opinion tba’ K ini ms
should not apply for admission into the Union t.a
long as there is a question as to her right to de
mand admission by virtureof the Constituiion and
laws of the United bta’.es.”
The committee subm tted a ► übstitute for tho
bill, the provisions of which are not clearly ?-tate i.
It appears, however, to be iu accordai ce with the
first part of the above report, in providing for
tak ug ihe sense of the people as to the propriety
of calling a Convention. This subotitute wus
adopted.
Tub New Steabudat.—Capt. Penington’s steam
er was saioly launched on las- Thursday. Toe
scene was witnessed by a large crowd of ladios
aud gentlemen, who looked on with a deep in'. ,r
--est that was not entirely free from anxioiy. The
Boat iB 160 feet long and 26 feet wide, and depth
of bold feet. She !b to be propelled by a stern
wheel and will be able to o-rry 225 tons of freight.
This experiment so far, is ontiieiy a bucoubhul
one. The grand object was to iret a boat i hut
would draw as little water as possable, so ts to
enable it to run daring the summer mouths ; she
now settles in tho water bat 6 X inches, and it is
estimated than when completed, with ill her ma
chinery in, she will swim iu wa er of twelve inches
depth. The work of building has been curried on
with vigor and dete mination, and the prospect is,
that the boat will be ready to rnn by the first of
October. Wo congratulate our friends down lb i
river, on their pros recto! a cheap and reliable
means tor the tram- portation of freight, aud doubt
not that all will unite in hearty commendation ot
the praiseworthy energy and perseverauce, mani
fe-ted by Captain Peniugton, in prosecuting this
enterprise so much needed by the community.—

The Newark Adveriirer says: We notice that
an impression is current in New York that a K l -
road oompany cannot be prosecuted in th ; s Stm
for damages in cases ot persons killed upon it.
Thiß is not so. We have a statue passed iu 1843,
which makes the oompany liable.
