Otucral scco. The Fever at Norfolk and Portsmouth. The NOWB received from the South gives but little hope for an immediate abatement of the epidemic. Mayor Woodis, of Norfolk, fell a victim to tho disease on Monday last. The Baltimore American, of yesterday, gives the following information : Dr. John Morris returned to this city pester- day morning from Norfolk, whither he had been for several days, and represents the con dition of the city as deplorable in the extreme. There are more physicians in Norfolk, be says, than arc necessary, but there is a great want of nurses, which it seems impossible to obtain. All the physicians of the city are attending to their business, but there is now no one to di rect the affairs of the city, or enforce sanitary regulations. Mayor Woodis died on Sunday, which left the city government without a head there is no quorum of the City Council or board of Health, nor is there any ono to attend to any thing except the Howard Association, and the whole time of that body is absorbed in distrib uting food to the population. The scenes wit nessed by Dr. Morris, while in Norfolk, he says are indescribable. The stores are all closed the market houses deserted, and out of ulation of twenty thousand, there are y about eight thousand left, of which num there only three thousand white. Dr. . visited a fam ily on Sunday last, an . ound the wife ly ing in a dying conditi9„rebn the bed, and the husband with bl !r/omit on the floor, without a friend to ,ad them, or a nurse to adminis ter the essary medicine. He made an effort to I • cum a nurse for them, but could not, and ten he left they were both in tho agonies of death. During the illness of Mayor Woodis there was not a citizen of Norfolk at his resi dence, and on the last night of his life two of the physicians remained with him. So great has been and so great continues the mortality that the people look at it and talk of it with ap parent unconcern, and look as a matter of course for the death of a patient as surely as attacked. In the midst of this distress, those who own vehicles for public use have taken ad vantage of the times and refuse to physicians except at rates which the Howard Association cannot pay. Dr. M. states that the malaria is such that all the people, even •tkose that are apparently healthy, look sallow, and their eyes partake of a yellow hue. The are but few peo ple to be seen in the streets, except those hay ing of the hearses, and the physicians who are constantly going. It is impossible for any one to form any proper idea of the distress which prevails, ancieven those in comfortable circumstances are obliged to obtain their sup. plies from the Howard Association there being no other mesas of procuring it. • In Portsmouth there are better regulations, the authorities standing at their pasta and do ing all they can to relieve the afflicted. The city has been divided into seven districts, each of which has its own physicians, .d Ile pa tiente are made more comfortable than in Nor folk. The epidemic rages quite as severely as ever, though it has assumed a less malignant form and yields more readily to medical treat meet. The average number ofdeaths is about twenty per day, and the number of new cases are as great per day as they have been any time since the epidemic broke out. Dr. M. states that he left because there were more physicians than are needed, but the authorities cannot tell those who aro constantly arriving that they require no more medical help. Ma ny of the physicians are young and inexpori enced, though they might be very effective as MIMS. All the people seem more or less in disposed, the malaria which fills the atmos phere producing a disagreeable fever in the head. There is now no hope of arresting the ravages of the disease, and so thoroughly in fected have become the cities that it it will continuo to rage until dispelled by frost, there being nothing else which can stay its progress. Relief for the Yellow Fever Sufferers. WASHINGTON, Sept. s.—ln response to the application of the Norfolk. Committee, the Pre. sident. after consultation with the Cabinet, has caused an order to be issued to the Common. dant at the Cosport Navy Yard, giving him direction to close the Yard, and advance a month's pay to the employees, who wish to leave. An order has also been issued to the commandants of other yards to einp'oy such refugees. It is probable that other suggestions for the relief of the sufferers will be made by the Executive to-day. The President could not grant the requestof the Cotnmitttee to give up to then Fort Mon roe, on account of the time required to remove the troops and residents from the port, and there being no place suitable for their recep tion. The cabinet, by the President, paid the corn. niittee $325, as a contribution for the relief of the sufferers. Proserving Fruit. A number of persons who have been put ting up fruit in air-tight cans" have stated to us that they aro loosing large quantities of it by fermentation, and inquire of us the cause of the difficulty. This cause may be in the imperfect manner of scalding and putting up the fruit, or it may arise front the defective form in which the ratio are made. If the cans aro properly constructed, it only remains to scald the fruit sufficiently, and to fill the cans so near the top as to leave the least possible amount of air in them, taking care that the moisture does not rise into the channel formed for the scalding material, and to close the can while scalding hot. To do this, as we before stated the most expeditious and sure method is to first scald the fruit in a kettle, fill the cans, and sot them into a vessel of boiling water, there to remain until the scalding is cotnple fed. A MOTHER AND SON DROWNEM—A Mm. Taylor, residing near Brooklin Lake, in Din widdio county, Va., and a son nino years old, were drowned last Friday morning under the following circumstances, says the Sussex Her ald t—The lad was making as effort to reach a hat that had fallen into the water, when he lost his equilibrium and was precipitated into the lake. A younger brother being present gave the alarm to the parents, which caused Mrs. Taylor to hasten to the place in a state, of inconceivable fright. She Immediately wa ded into the lake to reach her drowning child, but unfortunately went too far and was also drowning, when Mr. Taylor arrived at the place, which was but a few moments after she left the dwelling. He immediately plunged into the lake and 8.1111 to Mrs. Taylor, lout be ing seized with a fit of cramp came near per. ishing with the others, but succeeded m reach ing the shore again leaving his wife and son to the sad fate of drowning within a few feet of the shore. WANTED • ro Die.—An athletic Irishman called at the office of the Health Commissioner in Baltimore, on Friday, and asked permission to ge to Norfolk to nurse the sick. He stated that he was an entire stranger in the city with out means and had vainly endeavored to pro. cure employment ; that he had walked Pram Pennsylvania and subsisted on fruit plucked by the wayside. Ho thought that if lie could go to Norfolk the chances were that he would take the fever and die ; which would put an end to all his earthly troubles. In consequence of a request to send no more, his application was rejected cud he left the place, sorrowful that he could not have an opportunity to die.— There are many in the world in a like destitute condition but there are few indeed who deliber ately desire to pass from among men to be numbered with the dyed, ExeCntion of Rebels at Canton, Lu our remarks on the retirement of the rub. ds from Sunchow, it is stated that the thou sands of men brought to Canton no prisoners are now being decapitated at the rate of a him deed and fifty a day. That was the number, ao are told, executed on Saturday last, a spec tacle to which we were witness. The execu tion ground has before been described in this journal, and for all our readers it is not fleece eery to repeat that it is situated about ono bun. dyed yards from the river, at a distance of two miles or so below the factories. The ground is oblong, about one hundred and fifty feet in length, the entrance on the side nearest the riv er being about six feet. This is closed with birs during practical operations. At the grand entrance the ground is about twenty feet wide. On the the right hand, doorways open on to several oven and title manufactories. As we approached the execution ground many were met with hands to their nostiles, or with their tails tied round their faces, for the purpose of avoiding the horrid stench, which could literally be."felt" at a considerable dim Lance. The ground was covered with partially dried gore, the result of the past day's work.— There are no drains to take the blood away, nor is any substance used to slake it. One man was 'band digging holes for two crosses, on which, ho said, four were to be tied and cut pieces. The execution had been fixed for noon. At half past eleven half a dozen men arrived I with the knives, proceeded by bearers of rough deal wood boxes, decorated wills bloody sides. These were the coffins. Untoncern was the general appearance of the soldiers and spent- , tors, of whom, altogether, there may have been ' ono hundred and fifty. The day was dull, a fresh breeze from the eastward carrying the ster.eli away from foreigners, who, to the num ber of a dozen, bad obtained admittance to the top of one of the houses on the far side of the street passing the entrance of this "field of blood." At a quarter to twelve the first batch of ten prisoners arrived, speedily followed by the rest in similar quantities. Each prisoner (having his hands tied behind his back, and labeled on the tail) appeared to bave been thrust clown in a wickers basket over which his chained legs dangled loosely, the body riding uncomfortably, and marked with a long paper tally, pasted on a slip of bamboo thrust be tween the prisoner's jacket ankhis back.-- These "man baskets," slung with small cords, were carried on bamboos on the shoulders of two men. As the prisoners arrived, each was made to kneel with his thee to the south. In a space of about 20 feet by 12 wo counted as many as 70, ranged in half a dozen rows. At live minutes to twelve a white button mandarin arrived, and the two to be first cut in pieces were tied to the crosses. Whilst looking at this frightening process the execution cornmeal. ced, and 20 or 30 inset have been headless be. fore we were aware of it. The only sound to be heated was at horrid cheep—cheep—cheep, as the knives fell. One blow was sufficient for each ,the head tumbling between the legs of the victim before it. As the sword falls, the blood gushing trunk springs forward, falls, on the breast and is still forever. In four minutes the decapidatior. was ecm plete; and then on the other victims commen ced the barbarity which to think of only is sufficiently barbaric. With a short sharp knife a slice ivas cut out from under each arm. A low suppressed fearful groan from each follow. ed the operation of the weapon. Dexterious butchers, notice was taken successively by the operators from the calves, the thighs, and then from each breast. We may suppose, we hope, that by this time the suflbrers were insensible to pain; but they were not dead. The knife was then stuck into the abdomen, which was ripped up to the breast bone, and the blade twisted round and round as the heart was sop. crated from its holding. Up to this moment, having once set his eyes on the victim under torture, they had beeorne fixed as by facinatiou but they could he rivitcd no longer. A whir ling sensation ran through the brain, and it was with difficulty we could keep ourselves from fitlling. But this was not all the lashings were then, cut, and head, being tied by the tail to a limb of the moss, was seperated from the body, which was then dismembered of hands and arms, feet and legs seperately. Af• ter this the mandarins left the ground, to re turn, however, with a man and woman; the latter, it was said the wife of ono of the rebels aids—the man a leader of some rank. The woman was cut up in the way we have descri bed; for the man a more horrible punishment was decreed. He was flayed alive. We did not WC this, but it was witnessed by the Serjeant of the Marines of the U.S.S. J. I'. Kenedy— the cry us the first insertion of the knife cross es the forehead, and the pulling of the flesh over the eyes, being most horrible.—Friemi Chintz. The Wheeler Slave Case. The trial of Still, Ballard, and others, for riot, and an assault on Hon. Jno. Wheeler, was brought to a conclusion on Saturday. Judge Kelley, after briefly stating the man ner of forming a verdict to the Jury, said: "When Jane was brought hereby Col. Whee ler, she and her children were as frco as he was. We recognize tho right of returning slaves who escape end come hero—we must stand by and enforce the laws of our use:: State. I ac cept as part of my chmgo the laws as given you by the District Attorney. The Judge then read the Act of 1780, and also the Act of March 3d, 1847. A man may bring his slave into this State, but- he makes hint a free man thereby, for he may not detain him any time whatever. A slave cannot, by virtue of the laws of this State, remain upon its soil. The object of the Ast was to remove every law from the Statute Book from which ingenuity - could make it ap pear, that slavery could in any way exist here. A riot is a conspiracy, which the element of tumult, calculated to inspire terror. It requires three people, with a common intent and con duct dud causes terror. I shall nut recall the evidence, the facts aro foryou. Ye,, will ask, did these men go to the boat with a lawful purpose? ?di f th ri d r rthiri irrticyorelattut her? Irstrg want to go, you must judge of the amount of force used. If you aro satisfied that they only went to tell Jane she was free, and conduct her to a place of safety, and acted peacefully, you can not find them guilty." Republican Convention in Pittsburgh.
