Five physicians report 14 deaths as having taken place yesterday. Nearly as many doctors have made no report at all, so we may fairly assume that if full reports were received from all, the mortality woiibi amount up to fully ‘20, possibly more The demand this morning for coffins, hearses aud other adjuncts of inter- monts seemed to equal if if did not exceed any morning yol. The cool weather appears to exert a mischievous influence; and where §o many have already died, those now attacked, knowing the fate of numbers of their friends, become discouraged, anticipate the same fate ter themselves and are thus less able to sirugitle against the advances of the disease Tiiose of the citizens still able to be up have organ ized themselves and are working with energy, and. •e think, efficieney The worthy vice president of the Howard Association with other gentlemen attached to that organizition are doing all in their power.

We heard yesterday of seme five deaths at Smithville, nearly all Wiiniingionians. WiT.MiNdTO.N, Oct. 21, — From further inquiry wo are convinced that our statement or estimate of the aggre gate of deaths ou the day before yesterday, (Sunday.) was considerably below the mark. From the number of coffins issued from the Central Depot and known to have betn obtained from undertakers and carpenters, it is almost impossible thut the mortality could have been below 28 or 30. The latest reports we were able to get from the (’^m- etery last evening the iniernieuls had reached 18. We are uot certain that any others were sent out. There may have been one or two more Thia does not include negroes. Possibly we would uot err materially if we fl.iced the aggregate mortalily yesterday, black and white, at 26. For some reason which we iiave not been able to un derstand, ever ' ce this epidemic broke out. the mor tality has uniformly been greater on Sunday than on »ly other day in the week. It is evident too, that al though the temperature is getting lower from day to Jay, the mortality so far this week is far higher than during any previous week. But that might have been expected, with 4;>1 new cases last week. The cold weather took down those already sick. The .Mayor's (,)fficer, who had last been collecting from the doctors the report of new cases,* is, we fear, sick. .\t any rale he had not male his appearancu as late as ten o’clock From all we can learn the number of new cases yesterday will not exceed half of that for the day previous.—Journal Bulletin.

Departed this life ou Wednesday the 5th inst., at the residence of his father, near the Gulf, Chatham county, Lieut. DkWITT C. HARRIS, eldest son of Brooks Har ris. Esq., aged 27 years. 4 months aud 19 days. From childhood of the most unblemished purify of morals and of the strictest integrity of character, the deceased entered upon life with the respect and esteem of all who knew him. l.pon the breaking out of the war, he fell it his duty to give up his cherished dreams of happiness and to go forth .at the call of his country. It was urged upon him, that he should have a substitute, but his reply was, ‘-11 is my duty to go.” He volunteered in the Chatham Uilles. and bore without a murmur the priva tions and hardships of the Peninsular campaign. Dis ease fastened upon hitu, and really incapacitated him for any military service; but in hi» **agwness to repel the i'lvaders. .supj>osin^ that he might be able to endure the cavalry service, he accepted a Lieuteuantcy in Capt. Harris's Troop of .Mounted Rangers. Exposure soon prostrated him upon a bed of siocness. He bore his protracted illness with patience and forti tude. When he was informed that he had rtot. long to live, he received the announcement with the greatest calmness, and professed his ontire resignation to the will of God. -Always a strictly conscientious and moral man, he had.*however. for some years, thouglit serious ly of his duty to God. He had been hindered from making an open profession of religion by the thought of bis uiiworthiiiess; but a fuller consideration, in the quiet of his long illness, convinced him of his duty. He ac cordingly sent for his pastor and at his hands received Baptism. Thence he looked forward anxiously for the time when he should leave this world. Ashorttirae before be expired, he said, “How pleasant it. is to die!” -After this, he never spoke. In the full possession of all his faculties, he lay quietly waiting the summons, and, without a struggle or a gasp, yielded up his soul to God in the confident expectation of a joyful resurrection. S. .. _ "’g ger is that Buell, instead of atteniptiag to follow Bragg through East Tennessee, (where there is said to be pos- ^ itively not food enough for the inhabitants,) will take a | nearer and better route to # o iieart of the South, aud possibly aim for Marietta .anl .Atlanta. j These, however, arc but speculai!».ns—so little are ! we informed of the real direction and coutrolliug pur- | pofes of Gen, Bragg's movemcut, j It is thought uoi unlikely that one object accomplish- ! ed by the retrograie moveuieui of Gen. Br«»gg will be to secure beyond ail ci'utingeucies the vast niuojut of j army stores which he is ••'aid to have collecfed iu Ken- i tucky. i'dese stores are of int-stimable value to t'tie South, but It will be neces-sary that means of trans portation be collected near (’umberland Gap for their removal. T^e Government is understood to have information ihat the army stores captured in Kentucky are of great value, and that Bragg's army is followc-d by a truin of : several thousand w igons. ; The Knoxville Register, of a recent data, says that ! until Bragg had reached Lon lou, the p.i^-itipn whore he I was last heard from, his whole army, which entered I Kentucky by three different routes, wa- uot cun-olid:i- I ted; and that since the concentration of his'forces t»as i been accomplished, there is good reason to believe 'hat I Kentucky will not be evacuated until .lUother \)attle is fougiit. • These theories on our side are encouraging, hut they are scarcely more than hypotheses—the only ccitaiu ac counts W8 can oWtain from Kentucky ending with our success at Perryville, where the result wou seems sim ply to have been the shout of “victory” withflut sub stantial or visible fruits.—Ilichinond Kxnrniner, 22d. Fro7u the Army of the f’otvmac. — Richmo-\d, Oct 22.— Reports from the Potomac, on yesterday, indicate a design on the part of McClellan to treat our army to a continuation of his strategic evolutions. It is stated that Gen. Jackson made an advance tow-ards the enemy, at Charlestown, when they forthwith drew out and re crossed the Potomac. The only Yankee force of any consequence now in the Valley, is, according to this re port, at Harper’s Ferry. The object of such a with drawal coulJ only be for the purpose of enticing our forces to return into .Maryland by the p:irticular road marked out by McClellan, namely, in the tracks of his retreating d?coys. He has doubtless pbmncd the re ception (ft our troops, should they prove such arrant fools as to follow in the footsteps of the foe. The ene my’s force thus employed proves to have been some fif teen thousand strong.
