S ■^i» Iho (Tty Council of this place, gov erned by the accounts that have reached them of i ’l'" prevailing malady in Augusta, and being de. in any manner in their power, to manifest ftfpeir respect and sympathy for the corporation anil citizens of that city, have instructed me to convey to yon this expression of their feelings, and respectfully to lender to yon, if necessary the services of two or more Physicians. This oiler is made under the impression, prevailing here, that several of ynrtr Physicians have them selves boon attacked hy the disease, and (lint lit re may he a deficiency of medical men to at tend ta those of your population who are sick' mid particularly to tho poor. If the services of wny of our Physicians would he acceptable, they will Its most promptly and cordially alforded—and it would give im great pleasure to render assist, mice to our sister city. Several of our Physl. wans, amongst them experienced II capital prac titioners, have expressed u willingness nnd even a desire to go. Tho only question therefore, is whether their services are needed, nnd upon that point 1 will thank you In inform me ns soon ns possible. I would also thank you to acquaint me what is the character of the epidemic with which Augusta is ulllicted, and whether it is considered to ho contagions, or of such a nature ns would render its transmission by the rail road, dangerous to tho inhabitants of Charleston. An early an swer will oblige run. I am Sir. very respectfully, Your obedient servant, 11, U. PIN CRN 13 V, Mayor of Charleston, linn. A. Cummino, Mayor of Augusta.

Should future circum stances, not lli'w anticipated, seem to demand the services of your medical gentlemen, they would he thankfully accepted, Sumo of our Physicians have been affected by the prevailing epidemic, but are now, 1 am happy to say, all convalescent, nnd will soon return to the discharge of their professional duties. With reference to your question concerning the character of tho prevailing sickness of Augus ts, I will, to-morrow, send yon the opinions of •ur medical gentlemen ; hut for the present will content myself hy slating that the disease, hy our Physicians, is culled cniii'r.s/irr bilious fiver.

Respectfully yours, A. CUM MING, Mayor. Acne sta, September Ist, 1839. compliance with your request, ac? roinpanying the letter from bis Honor the Mayo,, of Charleston, this morning referred to mo, I am happy in being able to stale unequivocally, that tho disease by which our city has been alllicted during the last month, is not eontof'.ous t nor is it in any way susceptible of communication from one person to another, hy contact, clothing, or any of the media by which contagion may be communicated. Nor is there the least reason to believe that there is an emanation from the body, whereby a similar disease may bo produced in another person. This is a decision, sanctioned, «o far as 1 have reason to believe, by every intel ligent member of tba Medical profession in lb c city, and is founded on the substantial basis of the constant character of the same disease, ns i t fias from time to time appeared under the observa tion of intelligent physicians, in different places and ihc minute and constant observation of Us character during its present prevalence hero. thus decision should be sufficient to quiet the apprehensions which may exist in the minds of cm “inuoiiy of Charleston, or any V'sce. Hut rumor has spread tar and uric the gratuitous falsehood Uiat Yillow FtvCr I mi l i / conliigltilm epidemic exists in Augusta, it may not be improper, in order that truth, with its w holesome In tiring may obUiin amongst ourfriends in I harleston ns wi ll as elsewhere, 16 ( tale in connexion with the above, without resting the truth on its bare announcement, that, so far as I have been able to learn, no cane nf Ycl/nw I’evir has originated in Augusta during the whole sea son ; that the disease hy which onr community have been visited is the same in its general char acter with the fivers which formerly afflicted our city lr hr-tiMiual recurrence in autumn; the same w ith thal which prevailed in iiarnwell District, S. C., the hi,l season, and other districts in (ieor gia and elsewhere—that its occurrence at this sea son, after years of almost tin paralleled health i • fairly and properly attributable to a predisposition more or leas general through llte countiy, arises from a summer Ol unusual heat, followed hy the cool esttiVly breezes of approaching autumn. 'I Ifcho causes have introduced a fever, the general character of which is primarily, hijluinnmlnrij InLnus Jr.vcr, As the season has progressed, the general character of the fever has become more s mply inflammatory, or the ordinary fehrilerymp l nun of fever prn luecd Itijr c ild. All these eases have been found of easy control. A modifying e m.e has however, operated with great power on a small portion of the (lily in a line of a few hun dred yards directly leeward of the (rash-wharf a collection ol putrescent filths deposited in the river, occupy mg, above water, a space of a iptar ler, or half acre. In the line of the easlw ardly an I northeastwardly winds which prevailed stead ily for two or three weeks over this wharf, a corr salerahle number ol eases were so modified as to r mler them highly iftngenius aVid in some in stil rices niieotilridahle, hy the superoihiilioti of congestive symptoms. These ruses, in order to characterise their diUcreiiee are properly denomi nated, “crmgrxf/ ve rums nf hi Hulls finer, 1 ’ This is llte ordinary type of those eases of bilious fever which causes death earlier than the seventh or eighth day, wherever it prevails, Thu symptoms which mark litis type of disease come on sooner or later, according to the greater or less intensity ol llte causes, the modifying tnlluenee of the hab it ami temperament of the individual attacked iVe. To these eases, the mortality has been eonflnedv As strange exaggerations have gone abroad, relative to llte mortality of the diseases, and which are lull the legitimate fruits of an uiiwar r.intaVe panic which has existed, I will lake the liberty of adding, in Justine to truth, ns well ns to tlio character of the medical profession here, thal according to the best estimates [ have been able to make, the mortality, from the beginning of the disease this season, to the ‘Jfillt of August, did not exceed one in twenty-four or twenty-live eases; I mid that the rate of mortality litis so decreased, ( that, from the beginning to the present time, (Ist i September,) the proportion of mortality to rs-so■ < 'cries noes not, at most, exceed one in fifty cases. 1 This opinion is concurred in hy my professional J brethren, so far as I have been aide to consult | them mi this subject. It is also proper to add \ that the panic to which the people have yielded, * has been a cause of not only increase in the num ber of eases, but of mortality ; by the physical influence of fright, and a lamentable privation of nursing. The local causes nf the alarming part of the epidemic having been corrected, there is now no reason to apprehend any further predisposing c inse in the atmosphere of Augusta, and no eases ol the congestive lever will probably heneelorlli occur, unless excited on predispositions already j created. This opinion is founded on observation of the eases of this fever which lure occurred within the last four or five days, and the general change in tho constitution of the atmosphere.
