The Epidemic in Norfolk and Portsmouth

The Epidemic in Norfolk and Portsmouth.
The accounts from Norfolk and Portsmouth
continue to be Of the most gloomy character
every condition in life being rapidly thinned
by the ravages of the yellow fever.
The following are to be added to the list of
deaths:

$500 are whites, and 5000 negroes With
the latter, sickness and mortality are very
small. but such panic exists among them
the sick. The number of persons now down
with the fever is about 900, and many of them
are suffering for attention, so much so that they
receive no aid in many cases until the fever
has got such hold on them that recovery is
hopeless. Of those who are promptly and skill
fully nursed, a large proportion recover.

The aI,atellfgsReer says of the Presidents
reluctant reply to the request of the Norfolk
and Portsmouth committee for the use of Old
Point Comfort as a temporary residence for
the remaining people Of those two cities
awe heard without surprise, day or two
ago, that it was in contemplation to send
committee to Washington to solicit Of the
President of the United States the use of the
public buildings at Old Point Comfort 1t
was natural that such an idea should suggest
itself to the minds Of the afflicted survivors,
who saw no other practicable means of saving
those cities from utter depopulation than send
ing away from the influence of infection the
few families that have thus far escaped; ard,
if any thing could have added to the poignan-
cy Of our sympathies for them, it would have
been our anticipation of the answer which the
President has found it his duty to make to
their application. We felt that he could not,
consistently with other obligations, deprive
one portion of his fellow-citizens of their
homes for the sake Of afording temporary
asyl um to another. 1t is not that the public
business would suffer, for that might have
been made to give way to the calls of humani-
ty; but in causing the numerous persons en-
ployed ut Old Point, and dependent on the
Governi 'ent for their support, to be removed,
he woul be doing q doubtful act of charity at
the certain sacrifice Of public justice. We are
sure that it must have given pain to the Pres
ident not to yield to the appeals of the COM
mittee, and we trust that the committee them
selves have been satisfied that nothing but the
sternest sense of his duty to all could have
armed him with the courage to resist the call
which they made upon his Eenevolence."
The Union thinks that the specious poll
ticians, who have undertaken to manage the
Know NOthings, are beginning to understand
that they have tiger by the ears, whose
brains they must sooner or later blow out, if
they would save themselves from its claws
The same paper quotes Louisiana Democratic
papers to show that its party in that State are
about to give Know Nothingism such fight
as they gave it in other Southern States in the
August elections.
