'About 000 persons it ia estima-: led have died and now there fire about 409 cases in Portsmouth and 600 in Norfolk. '.Application' has. been -"made to President Pierce "soliciting the use . of Fortress Monroe, and the aid of the Federal Government in removing the s'ck of Norfolk and Portsmouth tofthat fdaccj the Pro &idcDt replies that it is toot in Vis power to grant the prayer of the Committee, and deeply regrets that it is not. Other means are under con sideration for their removal. Yellow Fever. 'We regret to learn that Dr. F. M. Garrett, .residing a short distance from Falkland, in Pitt -county, is sick with the yellow fever. Dr. Garrett ii sen of the late John Garrett, of this county, atid has been in practice but a short time. About ten or twelve days since, he went to Norfblk'to tender his sericcs to the sick and afflicted there, but was advised by the medical gentlemen, from his youth and inexperience in thitawlul scourge, to return. lie however visited a few patients, and on his return was taken with the disease and qjw lies in a .critical condition. Small Pox The Wilmington Herald says: We regret to . hear that the Small Pox lias broken out in 3iTcv-Berno. A dif ference of opinion seems to exist as to character of the disease, some of the physicians maintaining that it is kine pox, chicken pox or varioloid. Several deaths have occurred. The Kinston Advocate is informed through several sources, that there have been over fifty cases, and that the disease, whatever it is, is spreading. '"' ' Official Vole.

There is not' a moment to lose in making the necessary preparations. Let every one commence forthwith, to make arrange ment. so dispose his business before hand, as to be ready to devote a wceK to this highly interesting and instructive assemblage of the friends of improve ment. All may thus make it to them selves the most profitable, as well as de Jigktful, week of the year. " We address not only those who reside in the neighboring counties, at what is called convenient distances, but the people of the whole. State in the most remote counties, at the most inconve nient distances. They arc all equally and deeply interested, and wiu be amply -repaid, 'for any aud all of the patriotic sicriflccs they may make to participate in this great and impor- taut movement, kvery Uouiity snouiu be represented with specimens and sam ples of men, aud productions of skill and industry. Arator. Rail Road Travel, We learn that the number of passen gers going North, this mouth, over the Wilmington and Woldon lloaJ, is greater than any preceding month, not withstanding the prevalence of the yellow fever in Norfolk aud Ports mouth. It is singular, also, that last year, in this month, while the fever was raging at Savannah and. Augusta, the 'travel was unusually large, going south. These movements illustrate the fact that the traveliug public are not deter led from making their visits of business or pleasure, though the Epidemic may prevail on their route. I Yd. Com mere ia I.

We learn that an additional build ing or buildings arc much needed at Chipel fiiil; and that at a recent meeting of the Trustee, 'at which His Excel leucy Gov. li";igg was present, the subject was considered and discuss ed at some leugth, together with other matters touching the condition of the -institution. It was not determined we understand, whether it would be advisa ble to add to thepreseat buildings or to erect new ones.'

This is an . act of justice to learned, laborious, and deservtng men, which we record with pleasure. The Trustees may be assur ed if indeed, any such assuratice be necessary that the people generally take a deep interest in the University; that they appreciate the benefits and blessing, in morals and in learning, which flow from it; and that they will cordially sustain them in all liberal measures which may be devised for adding to its prosperity and usefulness. .

A circumstance of somewhat Extra ordinary character occurcd a short time since in one of the fl jurishing towns of the mi Hind counties. A clergyman died, and his wife and daughters, on the third day after his decease, recollecting chat no likened remained, it was agreed, fro the grave closed over him that the body should be uushrouded and a por trait taken. A young lady of some pro fessional celebrity was engaged for the tak. She with the assistaucecf ati at tend int took off the shroud and placed the body in a requisite po-turo, but oth er duties rfvju'red the artist's atLntien, the sketch was defered until uoou. A bout 12 o'cl ck, at the foot of the bed, she went through an hour's work on this imago of death. At this stage cf the proceedings, by some uuaccouutablc motion, the head of the death-like fig ure fell on the side. Nothing dauuled, the artist carefully took the head to re place it, when lo! theses opened, and starim' her full in the face, "the dead" i ..tin ui mi. - mquiruu, n no are you: x uc yuunK ".professional, without trepiuity, tooK the Dauuaire irom uie ueai auu ruuueu , , , .1 . t i 1 nek Ile immediately saw the snroua, anu laugueu immouuraieiy The artist quietly called the family e joy may be imagined but cannot be described, liiat evening he who -had lain three days in his shroud, bemoan- ed by mother and sisters with ago-, nizing tears, gladdened their hearts by taking his accustomed place at the table, and at this moment is making an excursion into North Wales. ,y , ; Bedford (England) Times.

But cf a sudden; whether frottra recogni tion ii the impropriety of the thing, or the sight of another beau cotni ng, evcr was clearly evident, the lady started with volcanic tmergy; and with a flash ing eye, exclaimed: "Mr. - , I can support myself!"
