who is lying i'll.
Allthe sick have been removed 10 the hospital
as fast as possible. They are nursed by three
Sisters of Charity and other nurses sent down by
the iowa.
The town is being depopulated very rapidly
Over four hundred men have left tie navy yard;
and all modes of conveyance from the town are
crowed daily. The stores are closing, AMI in few
days, without decline Of the disease, no business
will be transacted. The panic is universal and
vile spread.
The Express saysthe following persons have died
OF the disease since the letter of its Portsmouth
correspondent was written:
Mr.. G.. II. HeinitSh, formerly a druggist;, but
since retired from business. Mr. H. leaves no fam
lily, never having been married. Mrs. G. l.. Cooke,
most excellent Lady, and wife of the former post
master of Portsmouth. Master John Pendleton, a
youth Of much promise and high standing in the
community.
Dr.. b. q. Sparry, young physician Of promise,
was i'll with the lever on Saturday.
The disease is confined 10 no particular locality
OF class Of citizens, all being alike sick and dy-
ing from the dreadful scourge. The Express also
says,
We understand the authorities at Weldon held a
meeting Saturday. and resolved 10 establish a
quarenune at GarysvflIe. N. c., some three miles
distant from Weldon, for all passengers coming up
by the SeabOaI1 and Roanoke Railroad from Ports
month.
We also learn that the SeaboaTd and Roanoke
Railroad down train will, from and alter 10 day,
SMoHuay'J coHHecL win steamer at ouuoIK' IN
NansemOnd county, where passengers will proceed
down the NanSemond river to Chesapeake bay,
and there connect with the Baltimore bay line OF
Steamers. Passengers from Baltimore will also
Connect with steamer near OLD Poiut, and pIo
coed TO Suffolk, where they will take the cars f.
Weldon. Suffolk is some II or Is miles distant
tom Portsmouth.
The North Carolina people, we hear, Serging
contiguous 10 The Seaboard railroad, are very much
alarmed, nd have threatened to tear the road uN,
SO as TO cut of connection with the infected dis
Iticts. THIS arrangement OF DR.. Collins, however,
will doubtless alIay their fears, and we trust no
resort TO violence will occur.
