THE MALARIAL SEASON. regret to
learn from competent medical authority, and
from information Obtained through variety
of reliable sources. that the ma!arial season:
now prevailing, is unusually severe this year,
and that a distressing amount OF sickness OK
lists in nearly all quarters. hynchburs has
| been, 10 measure, exempted from bis vista
ton ; though we are advised, and have hereto
fore stated, that cIil S and fever have bean
moro prevalent here this year than vas ever re-
mcmbered to have bccn the case heretofore.
Ia the country around us, We learn, there Is an
endemic of agues bilious ieverS, and other dis.

A gentleman just returned from Charlotte in
forms US that intermittent fever has Frustrated
hundreds in that county, and that the cases
have been exceptionally severe. ano in many
cases fatal One physician. this gentleman
testiGes, has one hundred and three patients IN.
der treatment for this disorder Our exchanges
show that the same kind OF sickness prevails
with alarming violence ADD over a wide extent
OF the country. The Meckcnburg Herald says
GAINESVILLE is suffering severely With an
| endemic 10 the shape OF chils and tcvCrs and
in some families every member OF It is down. -
In others there are not we'll oucS enough to
wait upon the sick. And quite Il number OF
coored people have died recently Of ciiIis and
fevers, or some other disease.
The Petersburg Courier of Monday says:
We never knew chills and ievcrs TO prevail
to such an extent, not only in this city, but
throughout the whole surrounding country,
nor have we ever known the diseasa so fatal.
As an instance we are informed that forty
eight OF the employees at the Clover Hill pits,
| in Chesterfield. have died within the last lew
weeks Many others arc down with the dis
case and it is found impossible owing to this
TACT, to supply orders for coal from the pits.
These statements arc confirmed By accounts
received from other parts OF the country. In
order that our people may be properly warned
| and instructed as to what measures Of prccau
ton should be adopted, We sutj3in q sensible
article on the subject which We take rom the
Baltimore Sun. That paper says:
The fervid heats Of the day and remarkable
cool nights combine to increase the power OF
malaria. la the Southern cities yellow lever

past while 10 the Northern seaboard cities we
have more Of fever and ague, bilious and inter
mitent fevers 1t is dictate Of prudence
that individuals should, as far as possible, avoid
exposure 10 the direct rays Of the sun ty day,
and to the dcws which fall so copiousy at night.
The clothing, when practicable, should
also be carefully adapted to the changes
of the weather. In the East Indies the wear
| ing of flannel, even in the warmest seasons,
next the skin, is said to have been found use
full as protection against the fevers OF that
region In our own rural districts, exposed to
malaria the lighting OF fires early IN The morn
ing and also at night, has been looked upon is
tending to prevent disease. Regularity in all
the habits, and the avoidance OF excess, always
of importance to health, are in such a condi
ton of the atmosphere as now exists, lndispcn-
