there given of the correspondence, and
the circumstances connected with il, are
in accordance with the rumours we had
previously heard. We had understood
that Gen. Eaton was the bearer of the
second letter only; the first having been
entrusted to another General: and
whatever may have been the wishes Of
the friends of Gen jackson, we are in
clined to think they did not actually re-
quest that the letters might be with
drawn. This correspondence has been
SO often referred to, that we feel much
curiosity to see it, and as the Editor Of
the Telegraph says he has it before him,
we hope he will crafty our curiosity;
he will hardly fear to publish any thing
that Gen. Jackson has written, except
bis letters to Gov. Rabun.-ib.
1t appears by the following article
from the NsW- York Times, that reports
had been in circulation that the yellow
fever was in that city.
From the New York 1fUes,
YELLOW Feuer.-A rumor that the vel
low fever exists in the city has gained
some currency, but we sre happy upon
good authority to contradict it. As far
as we can ascertain, there is not, nor
has there been, any grounds for such a
report. While noticing this subject,
we cannot refrain from urging upon our
fellow citizens the vital Importance Of
their cooperation with the superinten-
dent of streets, in rendering their pre-
misses clean and pure from the accumu-
lation of any impurities whatever. There
are not a few neighbourhoods from
which even now, the most offensive o.
dours are exhalsd. 1t is no less an &C.
of safety than of duty, that every citi-
zen should aid the civil authority in the
enforcement of all the ordinances exist
ing upon this subject.
WeLLsBuRG, Va. June az ErtrG-
ordinary Morta!ay.-Mr. James Nit
cap, his wife, and five children, of the
vicinity of Manchester, in Brooke coun'
ty, Virginia, died very suddenly of a
disease ~singularly rapid in its progress.
Information of all the particulars rela-
ting to their disease has not been receiv-
ed. bat believe that there were only 9
days between the first s. last. Thefamily
consisted of 9 persons; of these Z are
now dead, and four days ago, the time
the information was communicated, one
of the remaining two was not expected
to live. Manchester and the.country a
round it have always been remarkably
healthy, and we have not heard Of a
death taking place in it excepting the
above, for a considerable length OF time.
II is said the physicians protested an
entire ignorance of the disease.
Great Enterprise. Messrs. Elliot
and Davidso on, and DIR. n, Burd, have
had inspected during the past week,
upwards of 100 hhds. OF Tobacco,
brought from Mount Vernon. Knox
county, State of Ohio. This Tobacco
was wagoned from Mount Vernon to
Sandusky, thence by Lake Erie, to
Buffaloe, down the Canal to New
York, whence it was put on board the
packets and brought to Baltimore
The cost of transportation was as cts.
per 100 lbs. Tor wagonage from Mount
Vernon to Sandusky-from sandusky
to New York S14 per ton-irom New
York to Baltimore 81 per hogshead-
the whole distance, about 1868 miles,
at a cost about equal to the wagonage
from Wheeling here. Nearly 500
hhds. will come TO this market by the
above circuitous route. What may we
moi expect from the West when the
facilities of the Rail Road Tor Canal
are offered to her enterprising citizens.
Bat. Gaz.
A letter from Caracas, dated June
18Th, says-"A messenger arrived last
night from Bogo!a. Congress had met,
and refused to accept the designations
Of Bolivar and Santander."
