VIcKsBURe, Aug. 25.-The fever is spreading
Though the country and attacking persons who
have sought refuge among their friends, which
is creating great fear and excitement. Not
only is the disease contagious in V1cksburg and
in the small towns. but on the plantations and
farms in localities where the disease has here
tofore been almost unknown. Flight does not
seem to protect them. The Towards are bat
thing manfully, but their means in the way of
nurses and help for our already broken down
and over-worked physicians. The latter say
that help must soon come or they will give out.
Another one was taken down to-day, DR.. Bar
Der, which makes in all four. Two of these,
taken down some days since, are doing very
well. The other is not expected to recover.
This leaves us with but ten for duty to con-
tend with the rapidly increasing plague, and
those nearly worn out.
