FREDERICK, AUG. l6.--lt has been re-
marked that Tor the last fifty days the
aggregate of wet weather, has not been
more than nine or ten hours. The
drought is almost unprecedented in the
memory ofthe Oldest inhabitants. The
lowness of wafer is The subject of com.
plant IN every part Of the county In
Ianey-town and its vicinity, SO great is
the scarcity of water, that many Of the
inhabitants are compelled 10 fetch il the
distances of one or two miles. The
corn which, in the early part of the sea-
son promised an abundant yield, is now
SO dry and withered, that rain would not
be of much service. If the dry weather
spould continue, the scarcity of water
will be distressing.
We have just been Informed that 10
acre field of clover, in the vicinity OF
this city, which had been allowed to stand
tor seed, recently took hre, and the crop
was wholly consumed, together with a.
bout 80 PANELS of fence.

PHILADELPHIA, AUG. 2O.-Tt is will,
nnteigned regret that we learn that the
cases OF feper, greatly multiply in New
York, and that the alarm of the citizens
extends to every part of the city. Its
said that all the public institutions arc
making arrangements to move, and that
more than 10000 of the citizens have
abandoned their dwellings,. The first
death which excited alarm in this city i'm
i79S was on the 10Th of August, and the
removals began about the 25th or Goth of
that month. The whole number then
swept off by that dreadful pestilence was
4O4l Of these but 325 died in the month
of August. Happily the disease is much
better understood now than it was thirty
years ago. There is, however, no safety
but in flight, and while we hope that
our fellow citizens at New-York will
fly, we trust that our gates will not be
shut against them. Their losses must
be great let us do all we can to miti-
gate their sufferings and diminish their
losses. II is our duty so to do, and let
not slavish fear or attachment to theories
lead US from the path of duty and hui
manly. Dem. Press:

THE SEASON.
VIRGINIA.

rREpERIcKsnURe, AUG. yegeta.
ton, of every kind, appears to be wither-
ing and dying under the influence Of the
present long continued drought. The
early part of the season presented one
ofthe most promising aspects of an a.
bundaDt corn crop, that we recoilect ever
TO have witness in this state. But the
scene, as far as our view extends, is
now greatly changed and we question
whether any degree Of moisture would,
at this time, essentially improve the pros
pect of the standing crops. We pray,
however, for the refreshing shower, to
lay the clouds Of dust that Cypress the
traveller in every direction, and to cause
the dried up streams again to flow for the
benefit of the thirsty cattle.
RICHMOND, AUG. lO.-The drought in
the surrounding country particularly
north and west of us, is bligh,ing in the
most destructive manner our corn crops.
We learn from the county of Goochiand
that there are some fields which will
scarcely reproduce the seed corn
Should this severe drought continue,
and sweep pretty large districts of coun.
try, the short crop together with the door
which is now opened in the West Indies
tor Indian corn, free of duty, will cause
an important advance of price.
The prospect OF the Corn Crop, which
SIX weeks ago was the most promising
we ever beheld, is at the present time in
this neighborhood completely blasted by
the long continued dry weather. From
present appearances, we think scarcely
more than half a crop can be made al.
though we have reason to believe tina,
the state at large has been much more
fortunate in receiving timely and neces
sary showers, than our own immediate
section.- Therefore, instead of repinine
we should be thankful to Providence ;
and 1t is consolatory to he assured, that j
our own granaries are but scantly filed
the evil will no, be great, prices will no
be naturally enhanced, as our neighbour
will be enabled to furnish abundant sup
plies. Petersburg Intel.
