Correspondence of the Baltimore American
Yellow Fever at Norfolk
NoRroLk. Sent. 5. Ia55

l regret to inform you that things are
becoming worse and worse, and that
the record of death is not only iucreas-
ing, but that new cases are multiplying
with frightful rapidity. Among the
new cases yesterday l regret to inform
you is Richard Gatewood, Esq, one of
the editors of the Beacon, known to the
readers of the american as your intel
ligent correspondent &C. He has la
bored most indefatigably since the conf
mencement of the pestilence, night and
day, among the sick, dying, and dcsti
tute, and was the only one of all the
force in the Beacon Office that had es
capped until yesterday, and now he is
down and very i'll. His associate, the
senior editor of the Beacon, William
E. Cunningham, Esq, is no more
He, als', having suspended his paper in
order to devote himself to the relief of
the sick, has now fallen a martyr to the
cause of humanity. He was a MAJ uni
versally esteemed and his loss will be
mourned by our citizens wherever their
present locality may be.
Sunday was a dark and cherries day
in this city. The report of deaths do
ings were pouring in from all sections
Of the city, and the demand for collins
could not be supplied. Over fifty deaths
were reported, only forty of which could
be supplied with collins, the burials on
Saturday having reached nearly forty,
consuming all the collins then OF hand. A
fresh supply of tr enty-five were receiv-
ed from Baltimore on Sunday morning,
and a small lot from Richmond. Al
other order for one hundred was seilt to
Baltimore this afternoon, and | doubt
not that they will be required before to-
morrow morning. The difficulty in
procuring graves is also very great, SO
great is the terror among the laborers
that they are afraid to approach the
grave, yard, and many Of them can only
be made to work under watch and com
pulsion. r
There has not been a bale of hay here
for several days; and the Doctors
horses have nearly given out. Send US
some oats and hay for the horses, and a
blacksmith or two to shoe them, as
there is nothing of the sort to be had
here. When a vehicle losses a Inch
pin it becomes useless, as there is NJ
one here to replace it.
There is now believed to be 1000
cases in this city, but the disease has
somewhat abatcd in Portsmouth, proba-
bly, for want fmaterfal to act on
There are said to be not more than 500
cases in Portsmouth, and the deaths
there not SO numerous. |
The Rev. Mr.. Armstrong, who goes
a great deal among the sick, on
his missions of love and consolation
gives it as his opinion, that there are at
the present time, from 1000 to 1900
persons sick at the presens time in Nor
and We have no doubt whatever
that he is correct. 1

The Victory of the Constitution.

Our readers will recolect hat Gen.
CAss, in his late letter, which VIC pub
lished last week, said that if the Demo-
cracy triumphed this Fall, it would be
the victory of the Constitution. Aye,
we'll might the old veteran term such a
triumph, the Uictorygfthe Consultation!
The founders of the Democratic party
were the authors of the Constitution,
and to that party are we indebted for
its preservation from the many unholy
assaults that have been made upon it..
Who saved the Constitution in its in
fancy ? The Democratic party. Who
saved it in 1912, when treason run riot
throughout the land? The Democratic
party. Who saved it the days of South
Carolina Notification The Demo
cratic party. Who saved it in the days
of the United States Bank The Dem
ocratic party. Who. saved it in 1850,
when traitors proclaimed aloud in the
Halls of Congress that the Union must
be dissolved ? The Democratic party.
And now, when oath-boupd couspirators
and Abolition disupionists are seeking
to destroy the fair fabric which our ia
theirs have reared, and to trample the
Constitution under foot, to whom shall
we look for their preservation but to an
all-wise Providence and the Democratic
Party yea

For the Ashland Union.l
In the Peoples Court of Ashland Coun.
ty, Ohio.
RErUBLIcAN DEMocRAcY, Petition t0'
OMAN Fusion.
Republican Democracy, Plaintiff
represents to the honorable Judges Of
this court, hat he was politically mar
ried to the defendant, Dinah Fusion OIL
the second Tuesday of October, A. d.
1854 that he lived and cokabited with
said Defendant until some time in the
month of August, A. d. 1855, when a
separation took place, for the following
causes, to wit
First. Said Defendant, during all the
time they lived together, o~bstinately re-
fused to entertain republican principles,
or advocate sound National or State
policy.
Second. That shortly after the consul
nation of said marriage, said defendant
manifested a strong desire to +" ,oear tie
6reecAes," and become very abusive
towards Petitioner, ard calling him vile
names, such as "Locofoco," Hard
Shell Democrat" Pro-Slavery Propa-
gandist," yet Petitioner invariably treat
ed said defendant kindly, and mildly
submitted to the abuse without saying
a word, which caused Defendant to re-
proach Petitioner in the German Lam
guage, calling him a sag nothing"
Third. That during the time the par
ties lived together: Defendant manifest
ed a great want of chastity, and at d.
vers times and places was guilty of
Adultery with one "SAM," a Hindo
Chief, father of Know Nothings, and
with one "SAMBO,"an African Prince,
and father Of the Abolitionists.
Fourth. That said Defendant used
fraud in inducing Petitioner, to marry
her, and CONTRARY to republican prac-
ticc, and in accordance with a heather
custom, compelled Petitioner to take the
name of Defendant, which was a matter
of great modification to him, and has
been very injurious to his former good
name.
Fifth. That during the time the par
tics co, habited together, there was born
them an iufant which they named
"One Mea," that said child was NAL
at birth-of obtuse intellect,
and marked with African blood.
Your Petitioner therefore prays that
at the next meeting of the people at the
in the county and State afore
said, said marriage may be dissolved;
that Petitioner may be freed from all
liability and allegiance to Defendant;
that Defendant may have the care and
custody of the child named zone Idea,"
and that Petitioner may have restored
him his former good name of

Statute Books, and that was the Fugi
tive Slave Law. He called upon hi
Democratic brethren to stand by theil
party as they had done in days gone by
and all would be we'll The Democrat
ic party had stood by the country in
every hour of peril, and had never chang.
ed either its name or it's principles.
He denounced the Know Nothing Or
der in unmeasured terms, and called up
on his Democratic brethren to assist
him in keeping the State government
out of the hands of the conspirators.
The Governor took his scat amid three
as hearty cheers as were ever given to a
speaker in Ashland County. The whole
speech was good-sound and logical ia
every point-and made a deep immpres-
sion upon all his hearers. He made
20 appeal to the passions ofhis audience,
but strove rather to convince them by
indisputable facts. 1t was a speech that
all understood and appreciated. He
spoke respectfully of his opponents, but
scattered their arguments like chaff be-
fore the winds. Ashland county is
good for eight hundred majority for
the Bachelor Governor and the State
ticket.
Col. DAVID TOP, the Old Democratic
Wheel Horse, next took the stand. We
refrain from any lengthy review of his
speech. He mourned over the death of
"that same old coon," and gave several
home thrusts that must have been any
thing but agreeable to Fusion ribs. He
frequently couvuised the audience with
laughter, by his droli anecdotes and
illustrations of the absurd positions of
the Fusion party. He proclaimed his
steadfast adherence to Democratic prin-
and urged his friends to stand
true to their principles and their party.
His speech was short and witty, and
when he closed the audience were in the
very best humor with themselves and
every body else. His speech was %receiv-
with hearty applause. !
The speaking lasted over five houra,
and yet during all that time scarcely a
nan left the ground, nor did the atten-
ton of the audience flag in the least
times the audience were wrought up
70 the highest enthusiasm-then they
would sit and listen with intense inter
EST, while their countenances showed
hat the facts which the speakers were
presenting were making a deep and last
ng impression. The meeting adjourned
after giving three hearty cheers for the
and the cause, and the vast
crowd quietly returned to their homes,
lot an accident or any unpleasant dis
.urbance having occurred during the
lay.
In the evening Col. McCooK and Gov.
MEDnL addressed a crowd of between
our and five hundred people, in front of
he Sampsel House. The speeches
we're we'll received, and cannot but have
! good effect.

Good Movement in Kansas Ter
ritory-Organization of the De
mocratic Party.

We are rejoiced to find that the De-
mocrats of Kansas Territory have call
cd a Territorial Convention for q tho
rough organization. They are no lon
ger willing to submit to the outlaws of
the Know Nothing Order under the rule
of AroHIsoN and SrRINGFELLow. This
is the right course, and it will be hailed
with pleasure in all parts of the Union.
There is a CHASE abolition paper out
there that no doubt will oppose this or
gauization as strongly as the Stringfel-
low Know Nothings, for they appear in
coAoot in politics every where. The St.
