We last week copied an article from
the Herald, in which the number of
persons now sick with the prevailing
complaint in this county, was estima-
ted at two Thousand. We have since
been informed that that estimate is
much too low. 1t is Supposed, by gen.
!lemen having good opportunities to
form correet judgments, that at least
from three to four thousand persons
are at present sick in Frederick couu-
ty. We have ascertained that Doctor
William Tyler has had upwards of
i've hundred patients at one time with
IN few weeks past, DIR. Baltzell has
probably had as many. Other physi-
clans Of the town have also been con.
stantly occupied. We have. therefore,
no doubt that the number of sick great.

ate favoursbiy on those who are i'll,
and make those who are convalescent
less liable to relapse. .

ON FOREIGN EXCHANGE.

There Is a subject which occupies a good
deal the attention of the people in the At
lantic cities, and which ought to be az well
understood by the inhabitants of the western
states. mean the subject of. foreign exchange.
Ii appears Tor some months past, the exchange
has been at or / o per cent. advance, that is,
for bill on England for 100, Z; purchaser is
obliged to give G109 or Gl1e. This high rate,
has been generally ascribtd 10 the balance of
trade being against us, and has increased the
Glamour against the importation Of foreigl,
goods amongst those who have rot taken the
trouble 10 investigate the true cause. AS this
IS matter which may be interesting to the
public, and particularly so 10 those who are in
possession of Gold, will cndea, or to explain
IT IN such way as may be ineligible to the
great mass of readers.
Gold and silver, like lead and iron, are com.
modltics produced and brought To market b.
human labor. Neither lead or iron ore, whilst
lying in the bowels Of the earth, are ofauy use
or value: and until labor be applied to dig, melt
and refine them, they might as well moi exist
ut all. The same is true of gold and silver
ore and the metals which are extracted from
th"m bear the same proportion to tile labor
which is employed III bringing them To mar
ket, MS lead and ron do in bringing them. Tie
expense or cost of production, il is true is vr-
ry diiirrcnt-the labour necessary to produce
Il Thousand weight of iron, might not produce
more than ten pounds of silver, and perhaps
not half pound Of gold and il is fact well
known, that most Of the undertalcrs OF the
gold and silver mines in South America yet
ruined by their trade.
Now it will be perceived that there is ~
principle in nature which establishes any fixed
proportion between the value of gold and sill
ver Nature does not say that one ounce OF
| gold shall always be worth SO many ounr,
of silver any more than she says that barrel
of -four shall always he worth SO much coffee
] The relative value between all kinds of com
modltics depends upon their plenty or scarcity
the difficulty or facility Of procuring them, aud
the greater or less demand in which they may
happen TO be. Gold and silver, like every
| thing else, are liable TO variations in their
relative value, although they are not so great
as are apt to take place with other cOmmodi,
j ties.
For the convenience oftrdde, however, mbst
nations have, by law, established certain pro.
portions, and these laws have no doubt had
tendency to prevent fluctuations. These pro-
portions have varied from IL TO 1G ounces oi
. silver TO one ounce Of gold and the United
States, by the act of 1891, which established
the mint, assumed the medium proportion 3
