The Washington correspondent of the Pennsylvania!! writes ;is follows : Notwithstanding the length of timo which j has elapsed since tin; National hotel ppidem- ( io prevailed, it is still the Mil'jee.t of" eonver.-ation, and occasionally we hear of .-nine one yet sufl'ering from that dreadful dis- j 1 case. Within the past two months 1 have 1 met gentlemen who were at the lintel do- i : ring the time this mysterious epidemic, pre- I vailed, and Bnnic of their details are lather astonishing. One gentleman informed me tint when the disease liist r-h<iw?d itself, il was simonj* a party of gentlemen who had ' been dining at a private table with a friend i and on this paiticular table two waiters | were detailed to attend. Two hours after i this dinner w.^s over, fourteen of ilie sixteen | gentlemen af it were ill. The following day \ these sanin waiteis attended another private ' i tfthlc, and the guests thoy waited upon wcr^ | Again tiiken sick. Tliis contii u d until the ; | liltnor began to cireijl.ate through the house ' that the food was poisoned, and then no ; more persons were effected, although some . ' quests remained until the hotel was closed, i The same gentleman remarked, that when 1 he discovered the condition of aft'airs, lie ' determined, in his own mind, that the poison was administered by these servants in such food as sonp>, tomatoes, &< ., between the kitchen and dining room, and he avoid catillir all such food and confined liiniii.lt' i to the solids only, Riic.lt as roast and boiled i mea's, roast potatoes,and ;iltlioiir^li lie dined beside persons wlio wcro attacked bv j the malady and died, yet he neversuffered ! any indisposiiion. He mentioned liissn-pi- ' cioi s to pei6ons connected widi I lie hotel, but | tliey would not listen to the allegation thai ' a miner.il poison was being administer- ! <id, and attributed all the suffering to the I ?ffe cts of malaria. Among those who have investigated this j painful mystery with the, greatest care, the j opinion is all most exclusively entertained' that the guests were poisoneu l>y a skillfulJy compounded arsenical preparation, administered by aome of the dining room servants. .From all I can l^arn, I have not a ilmilit/lint I lint tliff iioisnners nnnl.l Imvn been arrested, iflbc attempt had baeu made j at the proper time. It is estimated by those who have marked the ravages of tliin diserife that not less than thirty persons have died from it,' and probably, over n hundred more art)' prostra-, ted from it? effects, and must eventually be' dcstftmed by Its relentless grasp.
