Stt ? to small pox. see The absence of some members of the j dei Board of Health from town at the time of j Stt weekly meeting, our obtaining an j coj official report for jVB&tion. But then; is ui 10 case of small pox in town, ami none that wit ve have heard of nearer than nine miles, the We learn however that the disease is spread- oiu ng in Marlborough District. We under- eat ;tand there are, at least, twenty new cases. Tii There have been some deaths, but the nuni- ba< oer we do not know. c'u The present is but one of the very nu- J^c merons instances in which valuable lives JU(^ arc sacrificed to the credulity of rnen,?to the readiness with which tliey believe the professions of ignorant pretenders to a . ^ kuowledgc of medicine and the treatment lnJ of disease. We understand that one of ^ the first who took the small pox in Marlbcrougli, called to his relief a steam doctor, who forthwith went to work upon him, pronouncing the disease to be measles. Wlicn 1 ? he saw the abundant crop of pustules hiw which appeared on the skin, this was onlv Sta the cflbct of 1iis remedies, which drove out r the measles better than it ever was, or could has be done by any regular physician. Now the most ignorant negro in Marl- Q^t borough District, who is not a very idiot, Scr might be taught in less than a week, or less than an liour evcD, in the office of a phvsi- istc , , * , j cian, tnc uineroncc ueiwsen mcasies ana small pox so plainly that he could not, after ' the eruption, mistake the one for the other. ] If a physician of any weight of character ida had been called to this ease, he would not! ' only have seen what the disease was, before : ^ there was any danger of infection from it,: j but would also have recommended the pro-1 per measures to prevent its spread, and by . of , his influence "would have procured them to ' be adopted. . . We lately travelled in the stage with a nat gentleman wlio sloped with the disc^sc^ tlip < -Columbus hi Georgia: very* *nr - & ~~y i. 1 tnc cautious were tnc peopte m mui iiutgnwi -; hood that they stationed a guard around 1 r the house iu which he was, to prevent the Ba return home of the physicians who attend. \ No cd him, and the intercourse of others with ' not him who might spread the infection. And ^ they also burnt all the apparel which lie had jaj. about him, with the bed and bed clothes ' vf which he used, aud were deliberatingaboutcin * * ; ?* burning tlie house in which lie had been . *?? confined. Their example is worthy of inii- ^ tation in ever^ particulig: except that of i tjie confining the physicians..' | see, ; not Stage Accident. Drunken Driver.?A ; Pro few nights ago, as the Editor of this paper, j .. . .. 4 , iW with three otner passengers, wen; iruvujimg , in tho mail coach from Camden to Cheraw*, the driver in a state of intoxication* dell from the box. Before this was discovered bv any * I of us in the stage, the horses set off at full mc speed, for a short distance, when one of the Wlt wheels striking a tree, turned over the stage, Such was the* violence of the shock, that the tj0l harness of the lead horses and the tongue uni of the carriage were broken, which prevented this the stage being dragged further, and saved ^ the passengers from any severe injury. un Two of the passengers who went back a sul distance of more than two'miles to the last house which we had passed, for the purpose C.CI of procuring light, found the driver two or ^ three hundred yards from the ptacc where J^r die accident occurred, lying as he had fallen, the in the mud. They roused him, and finding he that he was not hurt, and that he could ren. ' SOI dcr them no assistance, they left hffn till their C(j return, when they brought him along stag. mi gering drunk in a cart which thev had pro- to cured to transport the baggage to a place an of security and a shelter from the rain, which 1 was falling upon us without intermission. If contractors for carrying the mail by stage were subjected to heavy penalties, no every time any driver in their employ was hp found intoxicated, whether an accident occlXl currcd or not, they would he more careful 0f to employ only " temperance" men as dri- Co vers; and the lives of passengers would not thi be so often endangered. by W c, on the morning of the same day found 00 a newspaper bag lying on the road, which ?s seemed to have dropped from the stage the night before. The enterprising and efficient contractor who owns this line will, we hope, take steps idi to prevent the recurrence of such accidents. j Our latest accounts from Congress arc of! j10 the 16th.
