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

but unfortunately went too far and was also

place, which was but a few moments after she
left the dwelling. He immediately plunged

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.—

condition but there are few indeed who deliber

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.

blood gushing trunk springs forward, falls, on
the breast and is still forever.

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.

having once set his eyes on the victim under
torture, they had beeorne fixed as by facinatiou

hands and arms, feet and legs seperately. Af•

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

We recognize tho right of returning slaves
who escape end come hero—we must stand by

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.
