Epidemics and Stat Utica From 101)0.
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

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.

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.

At the recent anniversary of the
Oneida Baptist Association, tho Utica
Herald says, a visiting clergyman, obi

tion to the adoption of the resolutions,
but he wished tho one on the use of to?

A TWENTY YEAH OLD M uno EH.-M neb
excitement has been caused in West?

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.

AN UNUSUAL DEATH.-Freeman Selie
morhoru, a descendant of thu old Knick?

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

Japan Mail publish au abject apology for
a similar offence.

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

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.
