The Charleston Mereary Of the 10Th inst saws
The latest int igence fiom Savannah has both dis
teaeed ana surprised Us. The mortllity Is far
gyate, than has ever before marked the disease,
either IN that city or in Charleston and indie stes
malignant syee more like that Of the Southwest last
year than ike toe ordinary form Of yellow fever.
IL seems also 10 bave spread through Savannah with
extraordinary rspidiiy.
In Charleston the fever has so far, been distin.
gukhed rather by the opposite chara teri.tics. We
have never known it to make so slow prog ess after
6etdf foothold In the city. Even nov the great
majority Of the cases are frum the shippit 4; aud
where medical advice has been had in seas IN there
have been very few deaths We nave heard OF very
few cases, and not single ceath, amoog residents
who were natives of the United States. With
sailors, and also with the 70 eign population, the
great cause OF fatality is, that they neglect tao
disease In IT. first stages and very often the physl-
clan - only called In on The second or third day

Ayng there Ia little danger 10 life.
IL does net appear to tnat. as yet, we have
csufe 70 consider tie yellow fever as epidemic in
the oAty. In the shipping IL Is ertsnly 80, aud
small number OF cases have occurred With clerks
and othefs whose business especially exposed them
TO the atmcsphcre Of the detected vessels. Scattsred
cases among the rsident population Ia the eastern
part OF tbs city Cannot be ascribed 10 any such ex
poeurr, perhaps, because we cannot trace their
history.
But there are sufficient lnd cations OF gradual
