From the FAYETTEVILLE Observe

From the Fayetteville Observer.
YELLOW EEVER-lt is unpleasant duty to an
nounce that case of yellow fever originated in or near
Wilmington, terminated fatally in Lower Fayetteville
on Saturday last. The unfortunate subject was Mr.
James Madison Worth, son OF DR.. John M. Worth of
Randolph County. Young Worth had been il Will
mirgton until within few days OF his attack, which
occurred gu Saturday the Goth inst He spent those
few days at the Sound. On Monday the 22d be was
quite i'll on tuesday started for this place in one of
boats arrived Wednesday, and died On Saturday,
the symptoms of yellow fever having been developed
on Friday.
The authorities of the town have, understand, ta-
ken measures to restrict communication with the house
at which the death occurred, and also to abate nui-
OF filth and decaying vegetation, and to purify
the atmosphere by burning rosn in the streets at night
We learn that VIM. 9. Bettencourt, Esq of VIII
mington, deceased few days ago at Clinton and that
another civizen Of Wilmington, whose We did not
hear at Lumberton last week
We repeat the remark made week or two ago, that
there is scared any danger of the disease communicate
ing persons in the INTERIOR unless fed by foul amos-
phere caused by inexcusabe thiness OF lots houses
The experience of Virginia in 1858 is clear on this
point People scattered in all directions from Norfolk
where the disease prevailed with great malgniy and
few of these refugees died at various places but did
not communicate the disease to any of the people Of
those places.
There is no reason, therefore, for any panic in the
country, Us We believe there is none here.
1t is proper add that there has = case here
but the one above mentioned, any rvtuEts to the con
trary notwithstanding,
Since the above was in type we have received TIT
following
MAYoRALTY OF FAYETTEVILLE Sept, q, 1862
In compliance with the pledge given on Thursday
have to report that person who reached this place
SICK from Wilmington on "Wednesday last, died thi
morning. The attending Physician reports that the
disease Of which he died showed symptoms of yellow
fever. Ali intercourse with Wilmington has beer
suspended and sanitary regulations adopted by which
it is hoped further cases will be introduced. Al
