The congestive fever appears to be raging
with as much violence in Tennessee, as the
yellow fever in the south. We scarcely open
paper coming from that State, which does not
contain several obituary notices The Athens
Patriot notices the iuterment in single grave
Of Martin Senter, his wife and little son.
A mong the DEATHS at Knoxville the name Of
Mrs. Eliza FL. c. Ramsey, wife of the editor of
the Register. is announced. In Sparta, they
ore suffering severely. There has been some
twelve or fifteen deaths on, of population of
not more than two hundred, and many as
fifty cases of fever at once. A letter from
there, dated on the 18th September, SAYS
ssThe fever is still raging here, with unahated
violence. Mr.. Crawford died on Tuesday. and
his wife on yesterday. Sparta looks lonely and
desolate, and yeu can hear of nothing but
sickness and death.''
