TO THE EDIroR OF THE ENou1Rrp

SIR-You will have Tie goodness To publish
in your paper, the following account of the
small pox, which has unfortunately been in.
troduced amongst us few DAYS since:
From the best information which we nave
been able TO obtain relative to the case in
question, II would appear that certain Doctor
.. on or about the 25d of February last, lett
New York and came as a passenger on board
the schooner Lady Iompkins, captain Dubois,
"ilch was bound to Richmond. The Doctor,
however, left the vessel at City Point and pro.
cecded from thence to Petersburg by land
where he did not stay more than day or two
before he entered himself as stage passenger
with ten others, ard with this number of Ier-
sons he left Petersburg and proceeded on TO
Richmond. When the Doctor passed Os-
borne III the stage, he was observed to have a
considerable eruption about his face and
hands, since which, he has not been seen nor
heard OF IN our vicinity. 1t appears that the
vessel arrived at City Point about the FIRST of
March with several passengers on board, and
nearly AL of them remarked that the Doctor
was tailoring under some symptoms of indispo-
sition from the time they left tile City till they
reached The Point, when all eruption had be-
come evident, though il was not suspected
by the passengers of being the small pox.-
&ttGr this gentleman left the vessel at the
Point, his birth was occupied by a MIR. Trus-
sen, who was also passenger from New
York. When tho vessel came near Osburne's
the current IN the river had become so consi-
derable as nearly to stop her progress, in
shore and stopped at Osborne's, where he
broke oni III due time with the genuine small
poX. Circumstances render IT highly probable
that the disease has bees communicated to
some considerable extent in our neighboIheod
as well as in other places. 1t seems that Doc
tor y. was III company with great lumber of
persons OF various descriptions, and that Ilc
travelled IA several directions through the
country.
lie doctor said that he belonged in the
uprcrPait Of Virginia and that he was oil mis-
way TO his place OF residence. Whether his
progress has been interrupted By his disease
or Otherwise, il is not known. II will be very
proper for sll those who have been exposed TO
Ire infection of ihs disease, TO guard against
us effects Immediately, by having recourse to
vaccination or incubation. fhc vaccine
disease, has long since been demonstrated
TO afford perfect security against the small
poX, IT the matter Of she former he genuine
when made use Of. When there is any cues
ton IS 10 the perfection of the Vaccine virus,
u u deemed must prudent to inoculate those
VINO have been exposed 10 the infection Of the
small pOx with the variolous matter
a general hospital has been established near
the river at Osborne's, where number have
been received and iDoculated for the small
pOX.
