taken in announcing yesterday through the col
u,nns of the " Express that ID ID FiSKE. Esq,
the editor of the Portsmouth Transcript, and eff
ficient Mayor of the town, had died of the le.-
low Fever. Mr. Fske, | am rejoiced to state,
was alive this morning. His physician thinks
that he will recover. God grant that he may
He has been at deaths door during the last 30 or
43 hours, which doubtless gave rise to the report
The mortality in Portsmouth on yesterday,
though nine less than during Sunday last was
quite distressing. The number of deaths for the
twenty four hours ending at sunset, reached
twenty three.
Among the number of those who died yoster
day, ! can gather but few names That OF Rich
ard Williams, master Mason at the Gosport Ma
w Yard is mentioned; also the master Arinorer
of the Navy Yard, but did not learn his name
One other name | hear of, is that OF LUKE
PARKS, formerly of Richmond, but for the last
four or five wears he has resided in Portsmouth.
He lost his wife some or 10 days since with
fever Mr. 7. think, Il native of Wales.
Dr. VIM. Collins of the Seaboard Road was ia
ken with the fever yesterday.
The physicians say this morning. that the
disease is much miider.
