cases To-day am acting rs a member OF the
Sanitary Committee, and have written about ten

heen sick several DAYS, although believe with
one or two exceptions only this is the first day
medical aid has been called in.
The disease is confined in no locality, but in
my opinion, extends TO every part OF Portsmouth.
When taken in connection with the mortality

and theimmense numbers who have fled, ques-
ton if any community has been more badly
scourced and afflicted. The whole surrounding
country is overIun-private houses barns kiteh

/ greatly spprehend that ,shen the mortality
of those who have fled and those remaining, shall
be correctly summed up, it will be found far
greater among the former than the latter. The

''' THE FEVER AT NORFOLK.
Nh Esa,er in Nor folk and Portsmouth.


Nota paper or letter was received from either
Of these places yesterday in the mail via Weldon
A gentleman from Hampton. who saw friend
from Portsmouth Yesterday morning, informs us
that there were twenty deaths from fever in Nor
folk on Saturday, and seven in Portsmouth The
number of new cases our informant could not as
ceria in.
We are truly reioiced to hear that DR.. JOSEPH
n. SCHooLFIELp, heretofore reported as quite Ill
is decidedly better, having much improved since
last accounts Apart from the severe loss to his
family, the community of Portsmouth can but
little afford to spare so useful and deserving a
citizen. We trust that may be soon enabled
to announce his entire recovery.
The Rev Mr.. HANDY. pastor OF the Middle
Street Presbyterian Church Portsmouth, who has
been quite iii of the fever we are pleased to hear
is now considered out of danger.
It will be seen from the above number OF deaths
that the fever is not abating, and we hope our
citizens will not forget the meeting to be held this
morning at the Courthouse. Let the attendance
be Petersburg Express.
