NEWS ABOUT THE FEVER. :
The Board of Health Reports Four
Deaths In the last Twenty -four Hours.


for the twenty.four hours ending at IL O'Clock
NJ, and show the number OF certtncdses o.
death, from yellow fever, received oy the CITY
registrar within that period. Certlncates
handed in after IL o'clock n. on one day ap-
near in the report OF the following day; so that
when deaths occur in the afternoon, or are
not reported promptly, there may be an ap-
parent discrepancy between the actual deaths
and the number reported. But any deaths
omitted, for the reasons given, in one report,
must appear in the next. The community,
therefore, may relay on the reports as faithful
exhibits of the course of the fever In Charles
ton. We believe that it is not practicable to
report the number Of new cases each day, for
the reason that, in the opinion of many medi-
cal men, forty-eight hours must elapse before
1t can be known with certainty whether a
patient has, or has not. the yellow fever:

The Fever at Beaufort.
Captain Edward Willis, of ship Canada, who
arrived in this city yesterday morning, from
Beaufort. states that ne knows OF seven cases
OF yellow fever at Beaufort, all Of which proved
fatal. Per contra, DR.. W. h. Bailey, the deputy
health officer, writing to DR.. Lebby, our health
officer, under Gate Of Beaufort, September 2,
| says:
There has been no case OF this fever at any
\ point along Bull River, and the trst case 10
Beaufort occurred on or about the 2lst OF Au-
gust, in young man who had been spendlng
some fifteen days in Charleston. There ls no
ground, therefore, for snpposing that the soil
| tary case of bilious fever at this station was
| the cause of the outbreak OF the disease al
any other point. Young Smith former mate
| of Pilot Boy) died from what Dr. Stuart, nls
physician, informed me was bilious remlttent
fever. Afler what / have written. 1t is need.
| less to say anything about the eighteen cases
of yellow fever at Bull River, and the Infection
| OF Beaufort from this point. Such rumors are
| on O par with the one which has been current
here during the past week, viz: that yellow
fever claimed its fifty victims per week IN
Charleston, &C., &C., and bear their absurdity
on their tace.
