The evidence thus fur is conclusive that whatever fever has prevailed this year is owing entirely to locul causes and the want of proper nttcntion to the hy? giene of the city. There has been no? thing epidemia in its character. There have been but four deaths in the last four days, and, in one of these, not u single death from any source. And this condition of things is now well known tfft) the country, and is properly attested by the action of tho New York Board oi Health. But, as tho subject of tho fever ha* been widely discussed, we havo thought the following statistics might prove ol interest. These statistics will be found of into est, and convenient, if preserved for fu? turo reference. Wo have nil ofttn occa? sion to advert to tho health of previous] seasons and years, and statistic informa tiou is not always at hand. The following statistics have been care? fully collected from various sources. We are indebted to Hewitts', Ramsay Vj nud Shecut's histories, Drayton's Me? moirs of tho Stute, and various medical! journals, but more especially to the able) and intelligent publication, in 1849, un? der the name <uf tho Census of the City, compiled by Dra. John L. Dawson and Henry W. DeSaussure, and which con? tains, in a condensed form, more infor? mation than any similar work within our knowledge. The first epidemic of a destructive kind ia Charleston was in 1699, or 1700. which yenr is not ascertained. This was called "the plague," and destroyed u great many people, the number un? known. 1703. The same disease occurred, with ?fcinailur resulta, and was still called "the Fplague." 1728. Twenty-five years elapsed, dur? ing which no mention is made of epi? demic sickness, when the disease of 1700 and 1703 appeared, and wus called yellow fever. 1732. It began in May and continued untd October. During its severest pe? riod eight to twelve died daily. The population of the city was then ubout 10.000. 1730. It appeared, but not violently; also, in 174.5 und 1748, with some sevi r - ty, but the deaths cannot he ascertained. 1753 aud 1755. A few sporadic oases appeared, after which, until 1792-some writers say 1794-a new series of epide? mics commenced, appearing in 1795. 179G, 1797 and 1799, when 239 died; 1800, 184 deaths; 1802, 90 deaths; 1804, 148 deaths; 1807, 162 deaths. The po? pulation of the city at these periods was about 20,000. The fever passed then over tho ten suc? ceeding years. 1817. There were 270 deaths, of whom i a great many were children. I 1819. There were 176 deaths of yellow Lfever. jg 1820. A few sporadic cases. H 1824. 231 died of fever, and this year r% reached Sullivan's Island, causing many deaths. 1827. 62 deaths; 1828, 26 deaths; 1830, 31 deaths'. 1834. 49 deaths; 1835, 24 deaths. 1838. Tho year of the great Gre; the fever was destructive; causing the death of 353 persons. Population 30,000. 1839. 133 deaths-tho fever epidemic. From this date, for ten years, the city maintained a high state of health. 1849. A sickness prevailed strikingly similar to that existing now. The wea? ther was followed by heavy rain. The beginning and progress of the disease the gradual change into a very "mild type of yellow," or a "broken bone," or a "bilious attack," were all like this sea? son. The fever begun 1st August, and ended 1st October; 123 died. During its progress thcro was very little ularm, and no panic. 1852. An epidemic prevailed, 280 died. 1854. Was a severe year; 624 died. 1856. There wore 206 deaths. 1858. Tho most distressing sickness] ever kuown hero prevailed, when 680 died. 864. There was some sickness. The population iii 1858 was about 45, 000. The "Neck" had beeu annexed in 1850. What were tho cooses which proveutcd yellow fever from appearing among us to any great extent from 1703 to 1728, from 1739 to 1792, from 1807 to 1817. from 1839 to 1849, from 1858 to 1871? This presents an interesting question. [Charleston Courier. An old man has been found in Ohio who is "slowly but surely" sinking into the grave, broken-hearted and crushed I by the recollection that ho is the sou of ! Aaron Burr-he ?B also the son of a fashionable Washington belle, of olden times, who wasn't his father's wife. The frailty of his mother, his own illegiti? macy, troubles him not-but, oh the horror, thu shame of being the son of a t-r-a-i t-o-rl This pathetic story will get into the Northern school books, con? veying to dear little loyalist? tho patri? otic loBBon: Boys and girls, whatever yon be, don't be the children of t-r-a-i-t o-r-a. TUB MYSTEHY OF EDWIN Dito OD.-The "mystery" of the fragment of "Edwin rood," left by Charles Dickens at bis death, has boen pretty effectually dis? closed after much faulty guessing. Mr. Augustin Daly, it seems, having an idea of dramatizing tho unfinished story, and, believing that ho might obtain some hints from the artist who designed the cover of tho hook, wrote to that gentle? man, and received an answer from Mr. Chas. Collie, (brother of tho distin? guished novelist, Wilkie Collins,) which sufficiently indicates tho main features of the plot. Mr. CollinB says that Edwin Diood was never to re-appear, he having been murdered hy Jasper. The girl Rosa not having boen really attached to Edwin, was not to lament his loss very long, and was to admit tho sailor, Mr. Tartar, to Bupply his placo. It was in? tended that Jasper himself should urgo on tho search after Edwiu Drood and the pursuit of his murderer, thus endeav? oring to direct suspicion from himsulf, the real murderer. Tho rest is conjec? tural, but Mr. Collins thinks Mr. Cris parkin was to marry Helenu Landless, that young Landless would die, and that the villain Jasper would of course como to a violent end, either through justice, suicide, or an overdose of opium. This, though a matter of no great importance, will interest thousands of readers of Dicken?, who have sought to work out their own solution of tho "Mystery of Edwiu Drood." DANOEHOUS PLAYTHING.-Ono day last week a man who belonged to tho Union army in tho lato war-we cannot learn his name-stopping ot tho Hudgius place, on Groud Lake, a fow miles from Frank? lin, wan experimenting with an old shell which ho found on tho place. IIo took out the Bcrew, picked some powder from the cavity, hut didn't believo it would gooff. It had been lying about loose, sometimo under water, for Bevon or eight years. To satisfy his curiosity whether it would explodo or not ho dropped into tho cavity a small coal of Ure; it exploded, blew his botvels ont and 'satisfied an idle and dangerous curiosity. I He lived fifteen boors, but was in such I pain that he begged them to kill him to put an end to his misery. [Planter's (La.) Banner. The fate of Vigneron, a Frenchman, who was kill? d on tho sands at Boulogno sur-Mer on tho 19th ult., iu tho presence of many hundred spectators, is, Uko Renforth's, a proof of tho foolishness of over-exertion. He was a man of extra? ordinary strength, aged forty-five, and was known in most parts of Europe for his feats of strength, and particularly for lifting a cannon weighing GOO pounds upon his shoulders aud firing a full charge of gunpowder. Ho wos going through this performance with his usual success; but while in tho act of lifting tho cannon to lower it, he slipped and fell. The wholo weight of tho cannon fell on the faca of tho unfortunate mau, splitting his skull completely in two. Death, of course, was instantaneous. Tho following7/iof is making the rounds of tho European papers: When, ut tho peace preliminaries, the sum of milliards -which now seems to sit no lightly on Franco-was mentioned, Jules Favre, not exactly bursting into tears, as before, yet appeared utterly speechless willi hor? ror. When ho had recovered from his paroxysm, all he could tiny was that "even if ono were to count from tho time of Christ till now, ono could not manngo to count such an enormous sum." Upon which Bismarck replied, with a smile: "Don't let that distress you. I havo thought of that, and, therefore, brought jthia gentleman"-pointing to Bleich roder, the Jewish banker-"with me. 'Ho coants from the creation of thu ?world." At the recent anniversary of the Oneida Baptist Association, tho Utica Herald says, a visiting clergyman, obi enough to bo gray, but with raven locks and beard, offered several resolutions touching questions of reform, and Dr. Patton, of Utica, said ho saw no objec? tion to the adoption of the resolutions, but he wished tho one on the use of to? bacco might bo followed by ono depre? cating tho use of hair dye. Tho reform? er stood speechless. A TWENTY YEAH OLD M uno EH.-M neb excitement has been caused in West? chester Oonuty, Now York, by tho dis? covery of Ibo skeleton of a man named Thomas Browu, who mysteriously disap? peared twenty years ago, and who now in supposed to have been murdered. Ephraim Jones, his employer at that time, now over 70 yenrs of age1, is sus? pected of having committed the crime. AN UNUSUAL DEATH.-Freeman Selie morhoru, a descendant of thu old Knick? erbockers, while praying very devoutly at a religious meeting in Schenectady, in New York, breathed h's last as ho pro? nounced "Amed." Ho had often ex? pressed a desire to die under just such circumstances. Minister Dulong, at Yokohama, seems to bo upholding the honor of tho Ame? rican name with refreshing energy. Ho recently compelled tho British Charge 'd'Affaires at Yokohama to apologize to ? him for insulting remarks about Ameri? cans, and made thc British editor of the Japan Mail publish au abject apology for a similar offence. AT LAST.-Fatty Harris, Master o? Transportation on the State [toad, under Blodgett, and one of tho lending mem? bers of the riug, bas been arrested on a charge of stealing from tho State Road. [Augusta Chronicle. There is said to bo a mysterious some? thing abont the tomato vino, perfectly colorless itself, but which imparts a green oolor to water, on washing tho hands after handling it. A Long Island gar? dener deteoled a trespasser on his patch by this means. Of a span of Louisville horses, ono is branded U. S. mid the other C. S. THE INFLUENCE OP ATMOSPHERE.-The following contradictory documents dis? close a strauge but easily accounted for atmospheric influence- upon the mind of man. The first was written in the peace? ful, cool and puru air of Spartunburg, and shows an honest and patriotic desi io to tell the truth. Rend it: LETTER TO SENATOR SCOTT. SPARTANDCKG, S. C., Sept. 4. 1871. Hon. John Scull, Chairman Ku Klux Com? mittee: We, the undersigned, citizens of the said Stute and County, having seen through the newspapers that you had received statements and affidavits (hut outrages upon various citizens had been committed in this County since thu com? mittee of which you aro chairman lett the suid County, and thut you hud thereupon recommended tho proclama? tion of martial luw in this County, feel constrained to make the following state? ment : Wo bavo made diligeut inquiry, and have been univbio to hear of a single out? ra go having been committed in this County since your committco left. On tho contrary, tho country is iu a state of profound peace and quiet. S. Ti POINIER, United States Commissiouer. And twenty-four other better name.?. Two days afterwards, Poinier wont to Columbia, and under tho murky atmos? phere of that hot-bed of Radical corrup? tion, he labored and brought forth thc following contradiction of tho above. Tho first did not suit tho Radical agita? tors of Columbia. It was contrary to tho programme of tho party, and would compel a chango of tactics unless it was contradicted by some statement from Pionier, showing that tho presence of tho United States, civil and military au? thorities is necessary to keep tho pcoplo peaceful and quiet. We do not seo how bo can reconcilo tho last paragraph of tho Spartunburg letter with tho two last paragraphs of his Columbia card: To TUE EDITOR OF TUE UNION: My attention has just been called to an editorial in the Charleston Courier of to-day, in which a letter from Spartan burg, and addressed to Senator Scott, in relation to tho condition of affairs in that County, and signed by myself and others, is made the basis of an article endeavoring to show that there is no ne? cessity for the declaration of martial law iu several Counties of this State. While, so far ns my knowledge extends, the fncts stilted in that letter aro true, yet I believe that tho County is quiet at pre? sent simply becauno tho Uuitcd States civil and military authorities havo boon for tho last six weeks riding through the County, making arrests of all tboso whom they could find who have been heretoforo engaged in committing out? rages. Since tho Investigating Committco loft, I know that outrages have occurred in York and Union Counties, and may havo occurred in Spartanburg Couuty during my nbsenco of three weeks nt thu United States Court iu Greenville, and no doubt they would have continued in Spnrtauburg Couuty if it had not been for tho nctivo measures taken by the United States officials. I believe that martial law is tho only permanently effect i vo remedy for I heso troubles. SAMUEL Ti PC) I NI EU. COLUMBIA, September 8, 1871. The card to tho Union is adroitly word? ed. Poinier attributes tho quiet of Spartunburg to tho fact that ho aud the military authorities havo been arresting a number of persona "who havo been heretofore engaged in committing out? rages." Now it is known that only about ten persons havo been arrested in Spur tauburg, und, after a fair aud impartial trial before the United States Court, only ono has been found guilty. Now, if outrages have been committed in Union siuco tho committee left, wo should like to bo informed where, by whom, and upon whom they were com? mitted. But tho Columbia letter was written for nothing else thnn to get the United States Commissioner to say that "martial law is tho only permanently effect i yo remedy for these troubles." There's tho piont tho Radical party in aiming nt. Spartanburg, Union und York will us surely go Democratic as tho people of I thoso Counties uro permitted to vote, and nothing but martial la tv will or eau prevent it. There's tho great secret of the wbolo affair.- I 'niau Times. AMERICAN WONDERS.-Tho gro.ito.st river in the kuowii world is thc Missis? sippi, 4,000 miles long.
