This distressing complaint, which was fortunately !iecked in this town, on its first ap pearance, by the prudent and effi cacious measures immediately a doptcd to arrest its progress, and which has been exclusively confi ned to three individuals,has excited considerable dread in several dis tricts in this State; some of which have taken commendable steps to prevent its introduction. On the 21st ult. the .Commission ers of Washington, announced to the citizens, that the disease has become threatening in its progress; ami earnestly recommending that ev ery measure of precaution be im mediately taken, and rigidly en forced, to arrest the calamity. The attending physician, in a report to the Commissioners, on the 26th, lilt, after advising an immediate and ge neral vaccination, says: "Of 42 ca jes in the counties of Pitt and Beau ijrt, that have come immediately nndef mv observation, not one of the persons had been previously vaccinated:" and states further, "wc have had but two cases in town for the last ten days." On the 23d ult. a negro tradfer arrived in Oxford, Granville county-, with a female laboring under this disease. She, with all who ac companied her were immediately removed to the distance of two miles, and measures taken to pre vent its spreading.
