most disgusting spectacle we ever beheld hay
ing an oily, wormy significance of the last o
poor mortality about it, that was absolute
sickcning. What could have brought thes
tiny scavengers here? do they follow hk
camp plunderers in the train of the pitiles
destroyer, or are they engendered by the dead
ly disease itself, acting upon peculiar atmo
phere? These are questions that We leave to
soeans, better skilled in such phenomenas ;of
nature than we are. to satisfactorily
if they can. We only know dead bodies will
create a peculiar worm, and why not deadly
plague create n peculiar fly
The Portsmouth Transcript again made
its appearance on Saturday The following
leading editorial tells mournful tale of the
condition of that unfortunate town:
Few men are left The merry-hearted do
sign. The mirth of tabrets ceaseth. The
noise of them that rejoice endeth. The JOY of
the harp ceaseth. Every house is shut up.
All JOY is darkness. The mirth of the land
is gone. There is crying in the streets And
the city is left in desolation. And the gate
is smltten with destruction. Such is not an
napt description of Norfolk and Portsmouth.
Since the last issu, of this paper on Friday,
3lst the doings of death have been ccaseless.
The grave, like the raging sea, still s:ith it is
not enough. Upon an average, twenty-five
have died since the Transcript made its last
appearance. and we suppose about fifty in
Norfolk.
Eight. yea, nine of the physicians, who no.
oily came from abroad and boldly entered the
very jaws of death, have had the fever, and
seven Of them are in the Naval Hospital
DR.. Smith, DR.. Grove, DIR. Howe, DIR, kenne-
y, DIR Bryant. are there Among the deaths
which we have recorded are good and true
men. We must particularly commemorate
John Woody. The writer of this helped to
close his eyes. and saw the last of him on earth.

A Sarcastic Sentence.

Old Elias Reyes, formerly first Judge Of Windsor
county, Vermont, was strange composition of folly
and good sense, OF natural shrcwdncss and want of
cultivation.
The following sentence, it is said, was pronounced
upon poor ragged fellow convicted Of stealing pair
of boots from Gen. Curtis, of considerable
wealth, living in the town of Windsor:
"Well,' said the Judge, very gravcly, before pro-
nouncng sentence Of the court, undertaking to read
the fellow lecture, "youre fine fellow to be ar
raigned before court for stealing. They say you re
poor-no will doubt it who looks at YOU, and
how dare you, being poor, have the impudence to
steal pair of boots! Nobody but rich people have
right to take such things without paying. Then
tsy say you worthless-that is evident from the
fdsi that has asked Justice to he done
you; all, by unanimous CONSENT pronounced you gull
u before you were tried Now, you mi ght know you
would be condemned. And YOU must know that it
was great asgravaton that you have stole them in
the large town Of Windsor. In that large town to
commit such act is most horrible And not only
go into Windsor to steal but you must steal from
that great man, Gen. Curtis. This caps the climax
Of your inquity. Base wretch! why did yon not go
and steal the only pair of boots which poor man
had, could get and then you would have been let
alone; nobody would have troubled themselves about
the act For your niquity in stealing in the great
town of Windsor, and from the great General Curtis,
the court sentences YOU to three months Imprisonment
in the county Jail. and may God give you something
to eat

American Ladies.

| was greatly amused says Charles Richard Void
in Vacation Tour in the United States and Cana
da, the following morning. observing the ladies bath
ing for they attired for the double purpose,
presume of bathing and being seen, there is inn
proprety whatever in looking at the fair creatures in
the water. The garments worn on these occasions
Of the gayest coors, consisting ola Boomer kind
OF costume, in which the upper part contrasts strong
Iy with the lower. The head is generally surmount-
ed by quantity shaped white cap, which seems to
have made deep impression on the author Of poem
on Nahant, who says:
Still when the sea beats the shore,
sit and drink its music in
The music of its thunder roar,
And watch the white caps swirling DER,
The blue waves restless evermOre.
In truth it is strange scene, and does not abate
in interest when the ladies emerge from the water
their gaudy costumes, exhibiting trowsers of al col
ors. and countless pairs of little white feet, twink
ling on the sand This early bathing he as
conducive to health it is to exhlration of spirits
for during my travels saw no ladies with such
glowing compilations those at Nahant. In the
words of an American enthusiast, they came down TO
breakfast after their bath, feshened up, looking
sweet and dewy avalanche of roses.

yellow Fever

We publish the following letter from
the Petersburg Eapress of Saturday morn
ing:
NORFOLK, Thursday, Sept. 6, ) p NJ.
Since the fatal epidemic has prevailed in
our city, most singular looking fly has
made its appearance, which is quite stranger
in this latitude, and has never been known
here by the ''oldest inhabitant" Its body is
about the size Of the common fly, of a yellow
ish colour, with long delicate porous wings,
of texture as fine rs the softest silk. They
fly together in swarms and may be seen in
large numbers on the fig trees, but their great
point of attraction seems to be the collins in
which repose the ll-fated victims of yellow
Jack
We took stroll out to that Golgotha of
burial grounds, Potters Field, yesterday, and
was intensely Mortified at seeing many of the
collins that lay on the ground, scattered around
awaiting interment, literally black with those
lotahesome little insects, that squrmed them
selves into each other so thick as to exclude
the coffin entirely from sight. 1t was the
