DEATHS IN PoRTsMoUTH-The illness Of
Robert Dickson Esq, which was noticed in
the DAY Book of yesterday, resulted fatally
this morning. Mr.. Dickson was one of the
wealth lest, if not the wealthest of the citizens
of Portsmouth. He commenced the work of
accumulation early in life, and by strict at
tention to business, a temperate and frugal
habit, he succeeded inaccumulating very
handsome property. He purchased about
twelve months ago steamer which he placed
on the Black Water river, and perhaps
piled also on the Chowan. 1t was there
that he was made i'll short time ago, and
the congestive chills he caught in that region
came very near carrying him off. By prop
or attendance, however, and the nursing and
care of his estimable sisters (he was unmar-
ried) he recovered, and was out upon the
street for week or two looking however con-
siderably reduced. A day or two ago he
was attacked by cholera and expired at his
residence in Portsmouth. He was a most
devoted brother-all his affections seeming to
have been concentrated in his sisters: This was
a most admirable trait in his character. A
more melancholy death, however, is con-
nected with his, During his extreme illness
with congestive chills, his sister Mrs. VIM.
). Rogart, of Savannah, Geo., to whom he
was deyotedIy attached, was telegraphed for
and came on to Portsmouth During his
sickness she was incessant in her attentions,
hardy ever leaving the sick couch of her
brother. She too was attacked by cholera
day or two ago, and imprudently persisted
in not sending for physician until perhaps
too late to arrest the disease. She deceased
last night. Her husband VIM. S. Bogart,
Esq, OF Savannah, had been telegraphed for,
bnt had not arrived this morning. She leaves
family of several children, one Of them a
daughter, whom she brought to Portsmouth
with her.
Mrs. Bogart was consistent christian, and
had for long time been member OF the
Protestant Episcopal Church, attached to
Trinity, in Portsmouth before her removal to
Savannah. She was devoted and affection
ate sister and warm and enthusiastic friend
social, kind, charitable, and of the noblest
womanly impulses. She possessed splendid
address, and her manner was distinguished
by dignity and courteousness. This she in
herited from her excellent and christian
