The Washington Republican of the 5th instant
says:


That the Yellow Fever is in Washington,
seems to US to be useless longer to deny. Some
few cases that have occurred Of late settles that
point beyond contradiction. We thus write that
our neighbors may be in possession of all the facts
in the Although we are thus plain, we say
at the same time that much of the sickness here is
nothing more than the bilious fever. And by
way of giving the whole truth, we will state that
there was 26 deaths in this town from the 31st of
August the 4rh Of October inst, among the white
population there have also been some few deaths
among the negroes. Of The 26 deaths II, we feel
warranted in asserting, were of yellow fever.


There seems to be much difference of opinion
IN regard to the disease, whether it be contagious
or not; of this we can say nothing, having but
little acquaintance with its nature.


Our people are many of them out of town, and
our population much thinned. So families had left
from last Friday to last Tuesday night, when We
made up our estimate. We Indulge the hope,
therefore, that the disease will abate severity
well as extent"
