NonFoLK AND PORTSMOUTH From the Peters.
burg Express we learn that DR. Richard Blow, Dr
Gordon and Chas Beale, Esq, are all Ill with the
fever-.he last having suffered a relapse Duton
Wheeler, of the Howard Association, has also suf-
fered relapse. DIR Robt Tunstall is much better,
but DR. I'D Tunstaii, OF the firm of Ludlow and
Tunstall, 10 very Ill.
The Petersburg Intelligepcer's correspondent,
says that the entire Shuster family, save an absent
son, 10 dead. Among the dead reported are New.
ton Armstead, a ship joiner who has been nnre.
uniting In bis attention to the SICK and Samuel
Smith.
Attic request of we'll known citizen of Por,s-
mouth. who l. advised of what he states we publish
the following card
daily reports Inform us, that In appropriatins
the contributions raised In various parts OF the
country for Norfolk and Portsmouth,, the lattel
place has been without design most sadly neglect.
cd when the aggregate sum raised had reached
100000. Portsmouth had received only about SIS :
600 or one fourth; and yet the population Of Ports
mouth Is equal 10 number to lhree.f fths tha, of
Norfolk. This reaults from confouuding the two
places or from directing the funds to the Homard
Association Of Norfolk. which IL entirely and er
clusiuety Norfolk Institution. No blame Is at.
tached to Norfolk. She receives the funds az
directed, and appropriates 1t accordingly to her
self.
ltwould be we'll for the friends of the two c,ties
abroad to remember, that they are separate and
distinct communities, and that relief can only be
extended to both by bearing In mind this fact
me expenses OF Portsmouth for the last forty days
lot humane purposes are said to have euuslled
$500 per pay, or twenty thousand dollars, to saw
nothing OF the thirty previous days, during
which the fever ragged with increasing and alarm
log violence.
Would II not be we'll for the civ papers and all
others which feel interest In the subject to COW
this ptecef Let these who contribute, assign he
amountfor each place separately. and the Object
OF humanity will be better accomplished 10 both
clues. w."
