son, president of the Howard Association

NORFOLK, Oct. 2, 1861 am sorry to ga,
that there have been several new cases of fe
yer since nv last, and the weather to-day i
very unfavorable for the disease, and | ar
afraid it will have a tendency to cause an in
crease in the number Of new cases but a
there are very few persons here at presen
who have not had it, it cannot increase to
very great extent unless some Of the citizen
who are away should act SO %imprudent as t
return home too soon, which hope they vi
not do.
DIR. VIM. j. Moore still continues 10 i'm
prove ard will be out. in a few days. NJ
Michael Cullen is better to-day. Mrs. CLARK
is very i'll. Nv. Robt. Dalrymple was bette
yesterday.

BosToN LECTURES ON SLAVERY. Great
forts have been made by tho Lecture Coz
mittee, as we learn from the Boston Att;
to secure gentlemen from the South to Vi
Boston to present the arguments and OPT
. ions prevalent in the South on the questi
- of Slavery. Among others, the followi
2 have been invited: Hon. John J. Crittendt
of Kentucky Hon. Henry A. Wise, of V
y ginia Hon. j. B. Benjamin, of Louisian
a Hon. HenryW. billiard, of Alabama; Hc
Geo. E Badger, Of North Carolina, and FL
Howell Cobb, of Georgia.
A family by the name of Clagg, who
the city when the fever began to spread, W
y imprudently returned the otherday, and sil
their return, l hear that every one of tn
'e has had an attack of the fever; and t
q morning, one of Mr.. C.'s children, a lii
Is girl six years, died Of it. The absentees
repeat, should not be in too great a hurry
come back. Their lives may pay the fort
u of their temerity if they return and a ft
al night more in exile is nothing in compari
ID with the risk they must run.

a see that a suit has been commenced in the

cd tanned in that court, as is more than proba
n it may deter some others from initiating
nd robber example of Williamson and his d
I'm associates. II. g.-4
