WASHINGTON, October Owe are very
sorry to hear from the ncighboring town OF
.Aerundlid, that a fever of very malignant
type prevails there TO an alarming extent.
Several deaths which have recently occurred
are noticed to-day, in their proper place in
addition to which we have Just heard that
Mr. James II. Duldny died uf the fever on
Sunday night. 1t is reported that as many
as FIVE or six persons have died each day for
several days past. To mitigate the pain from
these accounts, 1t is proper to state, that the
Herald of yesterday morning contains COM
nuncation which denies the existence of the
Yellow Fever admitting, however, that three
persons arriving at Alexandria sick from other
ports did die of that disease some weeks ago,
and that sickness does exist To distressing
extent. 1.-THE fever now prevailing at Alexan-
dria be not contagious, it has nevertheless, we
are credibly informed, many symptoms pccu-
liar To the Yellow Fever
With respect TO this city Washington the
Alexandria writer is entirely mistaken in sup
posing that sickness prevails to any alarming
degree. We are not exempt from interInit-
tents and ague frvers TO certain extent hut
they are of mild character, and are less fire.
Quent and less violent by far then even in the
mountainous, ard heretofore most healthful,
regions in this latitude.
From ShepherdSto,on, in Virginia, we are
sorry TO learn, through the medium OF the
newspaper printed there, that the sickness,
al this late period of the season, in that town,
and still more in the neghborhood, exceeds
my thing within the memory of man. MANY
families have not one individual in them able to
attend upon the sick. Ii is fortunate that the
deaths bear no proportion To the diseases.
Several, however, have died among whom
are John Potter, n young man Samuel Bell,
visitor to his relations at Shcpherdstown
Thomas ). Bennett, merchant two children
of Charles Cameron, brought sick from IIar-
of each other; Richard Moran, plaistcrer,
from Georgetown, ID. G.. : aud Mrs. Keef,.r
Ii is somewhat remarkable that, whilst Pir-
ginia and part of Maryland are, suffering under
tins sore visitation, New Orleans and Savan-
nah, which have heretofore suffered so much
from summer aud autnmnal fcvers, are COM
paraivcly healthy. On the 9th of September
New Orleans was pronounced at that moment
the most healthy city in the Un;on," with
every prospect of a continuance of this exemp-
ton from disease; and nearly the same has
been said of Savannah. [.tat. Int.
New York, Oct. 5.-We understand that
Inc FRAHKLIN "a, Com. STEWART, will drop
down tins day to the watering place, aud sal
the first fair wind on her destined cruise We
have been obgngly favored with the follow
ing list ofthe officers attached to her,
COMMODORE.
