Mr.. EDITOR There has been quite panic in
town for several days past arising from two three
unmistakable cases of yellow fever The symptoms
are said to be the same as those that carried so
many to their graves in 1s21-viz: pain in the
back and head together with scorching fever, end
ing with black vomit. The greatest fear now is Of
its spreading. Families rapidly leaving town,
and if it converts itself into an epidemic, Whining
ton will in short time be deserted of most of its
inhabitants. There is much alarm of its spreading
principally from one thing the steam-m and dis
tilleries having stopped operations. The health of
the City heretofore has been chiefly attributed to-
them. To day, the whole place and entire heavens
around are black with smoke Every one must, of
course feel perfect horror of the fever, but the
idea of ones "imagining' himself as having it. is
rather ludicrous. There is great excitement exist
ing; all the troops have been moved out of town.

PROCLAMATION BY THE GovERNoR.-Complaints
having been made to the Governor that in one or
two localities, organized opposition has been mani.
tested to the conscript law, he has issued his pro-
clamation, requiring those who thus seeking to
evade the law to desist from such conduct and re.
turn to their duty. The life Of all governments is,
obedience to the law. The law referred to should
be equally enforced. This is due not only to the
cause itself, but to those conscrpts who already
in the ranks The Governor has no other object
than to perform his duty, and this he will do at all
hazards. We commend him for bis frmness, and
for his sense of justice towards those conscripts
who are already in service Let those who are
seeking to evade the law at once return to their
duty. As they are, and where they are, they are
suffering much more in body and mind, than they
would if they were in the ranks fighting for their
country.

Of five cases. The sanitary arrangements adopted

slightly unwel died on the train near this City on
his way homeward The impression is he died Of
yellow fever, but it is By no means certain. Yel-
low fever is considered we believe purely infectious.
Contact with person having yellow fever BY no
means renders one liable to the disease unless
