SMALL PERSECUTION to the p.ht;,,
A very intelligent gentleman, who is ono If III.
Propriefors OF the Coa-Pits, has called unoo no IN
state, that there is an alarm about the small NOV
in the neighborhood Of the Chesterfield pits about
~ miles on the other side of the river. He states
that some West Tennessee Indians, to the .number
of seven a men, 2 women and a chilly hid ar.
Peared in that neghborhood last week He mn
derstood, that they had come from WASHINGTON.
,I lost one OF their comrades on the road from

PoA' that they through this City last Su n
day week; and that they had encamped in an
empty house, about a mile and half above tfe
pits, on Tuesday week, where they remained I'M
iast tuesday; near the public road and visited nv
great many people; that one of the men. was
covered with the small pox; that arrangements
mad been making for their accommodation: hut

they had evacuated the hut, in panic. taken TO
the woods where they had abandoned their sick
comrade, and finally hed-and no persuasion could
induce them to stay-and the last account that
mad been heard of them, was, that thew were
passing across the country, in the direction TO.
wards Hoode e Bridge, between Chesterfield and
Amelia counties. ~
Dr. woodbridge had seen the diseased Indian,
and pronounced him in the last stage of ths small.
pox; but he had been housed, and attended bva
person who had formerly had the disease -api it
was likely, mat the humanity of the peopIe. and
the skill oil the physician. would save his life
These circumstances induce MS to suggest, that
vaccination should be Immediately resortet 10. 10
all the places where the Indians have been or
now are-and that, wherever they are found. thew
shouid' without delay, be put into private place.

all danger Of communicating the infection. has
been completely dissipated.
