J. The Yellow Fever at Fort Hamilton. ORIGIN, PROGRESS AND CHARACTER OF THE YEL LOW FEVER AT FORT HAMILTON, YELLOW HOOK AND SOUTH BROOBLYN. 10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Batavia, N. ¥ , Sept. 1, 1856. It has been my iatention to give @ full history of che epicemic prevuiling on the Long Isiand shore, opposite Quarantine, in the towuship of New Utrecht: bat, having bern obliged to leave my labors there unduished, from the failure of my own health, I can do so at this time but partially. I ehould not attempt the task watil better able to do it justice, were it not for the moastrous misstatements constantly being published calculated to defeat the ends of mercy, and spread pestilence and death far beyond the limits they would naturally attain. For one month yellow fever bas been making its steady and certain progress along the shore of the Narrows, from Yellow Hook towards Brooklyn, on the one hand, and towards Fort Hamilton on the other; and yet, upto the 26th of August not a single efficient measure bad been ado ted to either stay the progress of the disease or render assistance to the sufferiag. except in the voluntary services which one neighbor bas repder- ed to another, From mis-statements and misrepresentations constantly being made by persons entirely ignorant of the nature and progress of yellow fever, the public mind bas been kept in a state of excitement and diverted from the true sources of the disease, so that in many instances persons have needlesely incurred almost certain death, while in others they bave been deterred from seeking the protec. tion which was readily ot band. Yellow fever iz a malignant remittent, aud beiongs to \he class of malarial diseases, of which tne fever and ue ie the simplest type, after which comes the simple rem‘ttent, the bilious remittent, the congestive or malig- Rant remittent, ot which the yellow fever is the most fatal form. in this disease the stomach becomes iy ailected, Occasioning the persistant vomiting, and nally the oozing of blood trom the toternai surface, which, chapgec by the natura! secretions of the orgsn, becomes the black vomit, which indicates an almost c twin fatal stage of the disease. Yellow fever rarely visita us, from the reason that the malaria! poisoa, which is its essentia! cause, requires @ longer continued b gh ele ration of temperature than we ever bave in this latitude for its developement, and therefore cau only be estabtisbed bere by t tion ance lg te ¥ tude; lke mary plants, the germ must be developed ac other oil.

The origin and progress of the fever with us has been ip perfect harmony with the above view of its natural Debits, As I bave betore stated i the Herat, the tt: cases © iginated at Yellow Hook, some of which, how. ever, Were developed in the garrison at Fort Hamilton, the pertes baving frequently, and ia some instances beea exposed almost daily to the Intection of the beach at that place. The firet aunouncement of the natare of the dis- case was made by Dr. Bailey, tbe surgeoa of the fort, a'though a mumber of pereoos were airealy down with it'at the place above referred to The occurrence of cases in the garrison at Fort Hamil ten and the first apnoun cave coming from that pa bie attention from ite tree iD, abd the absence of aay other appre- ciable cause, it was very natorally attributed to the ves nels lying at'anchor in Gravesead Bay, That the diseare did not originate from there vessels ls evident from the fact that alter the reports of the prevatence of yollow fever at Yellow Hook, and the consequent avoi ance of that dietrict by the in oa tants of Fort Ham\iton, no more cares occurred With Us for orer tWo Weeks, and aearly a = after the vessels were removed from Gravesend cs As I have already in effect stated, the poison which pro- duces yellow fever must be transpianted and reproduce itvel’ in our tet! wm or¢er to become epidemic, aad here we tee this law perfectiy exemplitied.

Io this way the infection was a! conveyed to the revidence of A mile rorth of Yellow Fook, where rag pickors gathered and bupg upon the garden fence near ihe bovse ved sacks ¢ biapkets, and also at @ later period |t was lodged on the shore of Governor's Isiand by the same measure. In the other direction, towards Fort Hamilwn, ite pro. revs seemed to be more gradual, indicating the nataral spree¢ of infection along the beach. Soon after the breaking out of the disease at Yellow Hook, Mr Chandicr White was attacked, whose residence is situated but a sbort @lstance on the sbore below, This was about the last of Joly. On Saturday, the 24 of August, I was called 10 vieit Mise Livingston and Mr. Powel! both of whom re vided im the eame house, about half a mile still further down the brach from Mr White's and im the district of t hamilton.

Sveral otoer members of this family were attacked wi b fever, but by prompi me- cleation they were all kept up. Judge Rockwell and Geo Stanton both died ata previous date but [ think there was to evidence that they bad yellow fever. A few other cases cccurret, but not esrentia! to thie statement. On the ever ing of the 16th | was called to preseribe for a servant girl, at the residence of Robert Com ng, \n the immediate neighborhood of the tort. This girl bad ev dently become infected on the piace. a she bad not been off from it within a month. Upto this time nots vingle case of yellow fever had occurred here that could be proved to be the result of local infection; but from this period more or less cases were added to the liet of the wick deily. On the fourth day, alter the first one attack ed to ‘Mr. Camu g's bourse, another servant was taken i, but was soon so restored as to return to her daties but subsequettly relapsed, from over work, bat not seri ovely, On the 224 Mra.

Jn ite march it was no doubt favored by the northerly winds, which led most of the time.

For this attempt on the part of Mr. Cuming to do a public service, by voluntary etlort, in consequence of the utver inefficiency of the socalled Board of Health, all friendiy assistance or official duty was witbbeld from him in his sickness by the Secretary of tnis Board; and a‘ter I had twice sent to him for as- sistance to bi the servant girl, who lay dead in the house in whic! . and Mrs, Cuming were il), the self- tacrificing Paul A. Oliver went at midnight and put the body into a coiliv, and the next morviag | had to leave my duties with the sick, aad to the Catholic pri procure @ man to go with the body tothe cemetery ; aod this, too, when pota dollar of expense was to be iacur- red, as Mr. Cuming had already provided all necessary means. Nor is this a!!; but when this member of the eo called Board of Health was applied to for iafor mation concerning the state of the public health, persons were often misled, aud an account of what was stated to bea foll and urate report of the sickness in the district was published without a single reference to my cases, although I resided in the nearest vicinity of the’ infected district of any cther physician, 4nd was daily in attendance upon cases on tho coast, from the first breaking out of the epidemic up to the 26th of August, and then, only after being entirely uaable to vieit another patient, did I seek protection for myself and fanily. all this is«f no importauce to me, but explains the cause of the many contradictory statements which bave been published in regard to the etckoess at Fort Hamiltop. 1 have never in my life witnessed more self-sacriticing devotion to friendship and humanity than bas been exhibited by a few tamilies of the remaining citizens; while, on the otber hand, I never saw such utter Pusi lanymity in public officers as has been manifested by the Boar of Health of tue town of New Utricht. Let no one who has lost friends in Port Hamilton fear that wey were not cared for, nor that every want was cot supplied #0 far as possible, but let it be remembered that in some instances it was a terrible labor, that can ouly be appreciated by those who bave volunteered to stand by the bedside of much beloved dying friends to minister to their wants. C.D. GRISWOLD, M. D. President Plerce’s Views of the Kansas War. INTERVIEW BETWEEN THE FXECUTIVA AND T4E DEPUTATION FRUM THE NATIONAL KANSAS COM- MITTEE. The undersigned, in obedience to your instructions, waited on President Pierce on 30th ult., and prayed his interposition against the threatened slave oligarchic inva- sion of Kangas, The following is a summary of results;— VIEWS ©F THE PRESIDENT. The opinions expressed by the Executive are substan- tially a8 tollows:—- While government bas been exhausting ‘ts constitutional powers (which are tases) to maintain order, Kansas Aid Sccieties have been active! y, Stirring up rebellion. A fac- tious spirit among the ¢ of Kansas respecting institu tions which they need not have concerned themselves about, and which would have all come right in time, originated the troubles. From the na- ture, habits and education of the bordermen, it was natural to find them excited by such an agitation. At this crisir, the North, instead of sending io armed men, who went about boasting of their ability to rotect themselves, should have sent in order loving and w abiding citizens: should have Psent in peace seek- ing men, who would bave promoted concord by moi agencies—by Bivies rather than by Sharp's rifles. Such a course would have streugthened the hands of the President, instead of tying them, as they had been. The sutlerings of the sestiers are therefore o their own seeking, and the legitimate fruits of that gunpowder bible preaching which they and their sup- ters at the North bave advocated. Each side is vubtiess to blame. Inflammatory appeals are circulated both South and North, and reports, false or ‘ated, ut forth by heated , to stir up sectioaal strife. if each party would only rid of about a« hun tred of their cesigning and res Jeader=, agitation would cease, and a speec y end be put to the disorders, The interposition of the Executive is claimed “by both sides, each party urging against the other ex- aetly the same cbarges. At his distance from the scene of strife, the l’residept cannot determine between them His action must be guided by oflicial reports. Gen, Smith communicates a very diferent condition of thing: fiom the exaggerated statements which have gove abroad. No appreliension of an armed invasion need be apprehended. Bat, should it bappen, th whole power of the government will be exerted to re. pel it, come from whatever source it may. The army in Kansas is not there to prevent or correct out 4 unlese they amount to invasion or insurrection. ny civil power alone {is competent to this. Application rbould be made there. General smith had no power to recress the wrongs of Mr. Strawn. He applied to the ‘wrong quarter. He should have gone to the courts. As to granting bim an escort, ‘General Smith thought if Mr. Smith was smart enough to fod his way safely to tim without one, he ought to be able to ‘ind his back'’’ The courts are open to ail clarses of citizens without distinction. No authentic information has ever reached the Executive of au tedividual who bas sought a redress of wrongs at the banas of the civil power in Kan saa, and failed to obtain it. If ope such case lid been presented, he woul! at once have removed the oTending official. Ifthe majority of the people in Kaneas bad waat- d peace an‘! quiet, they could bave had it. The way to get it was for the settlers among themeelves to frown down all aritation growing out of differences of op:nioa *# to local institutions. The Executive hat always fet tolicitous about the Territory, and bad exerted bis con- ftitutional powers to their full exen} to preserve orcer. Tbe affuir at Lawrence had given him great apxicty, and he at that time telegraphed both to Col. Sumner and Gov. Shannon, besides sending a messcager. (Here the Presideut protuced copies Nepatches, which, we believe, were bile et the time.) The outrages at Lawrence net dope by authority. The Presi ‘admits that mistakes bave been made, as is evident by b's removal of Sbavnop. Bat an impartial man has now gone there, who will sce justice doue © both parties. If he should catch either party in acts of violence, they shal! ve hong up on the spot. civil power of the Territory must be maintained. OFINIONS OR THR PRESIDENT 1.

At this mement they are more threstning than ever; a peaceful solution of ite trovbles seems still more un- certain than at avy period of its former history. The President affrins thet he hes exhausted all his constitu. onal powers. And yet orser i not restored. Coder och circumstances may it uot be worth while to inqaire whether the germ of the evils is not to be found in the Territorial res Parsioxst—This question I do not propose t) discuss at the present time. Commirtee—From whatever source, then. sir, the ditt. collie in Kansas bave originates, this one thing pateot to the country and to the werld that notwithstand ng all the efforts of the government, disorders of the most fright fal character have prevailed, disorders that would shame the worst despotiers of the worst ages: disorders so wide spread and 80 atrocious, #0 bl oly and se internal, so deeply camping aod inhuman, that to exca xe them the wretched ipbabitants would mak in if transferred to the despotic erpments of Ruse!

During this dark reign of bi and terror—during this feartal tempent of violence and enarchy—these poor unshielded vietime of plotted vengeance have broken no law and committed no crime, For hating slavery because they loved liberty, all these things have come wpon them.

THADDEUS HY ATT, WF. M. ARN EDWARD [ANT Seb Com. of Nat. Kansas Com. New Yors, Sept. 1, 1866. J, A. Scoville in Reply to James Conner. New Yor, Sept. 2, 1856, To James Gorwox Bassett Dear Sin—I have read « letter in your paper this morning. from James Conner. It does not surprise me at all, It is perfectly characteristic of Mr. Conner from be- ginbing to In the first place. he would create the \mpression that 1 was the cause of bis suffering to a large amoant from a paper called the Arena. He knows that I had no more to do with his suffering by the Arena than the man in the moon. In 1862 ne was reluctantly persuaded to sel] me type, &e. I do not doubt that, and I do not know what reasons be had from you, but I am persuaded they were very strong ones. About that $100 yoo gave me You gave me a letter of credit on Mr. Conner’s friends, Porese & Brooks, of which i shall have oceasion to apeak hereafter. Mr. Conner says that be is aware of the value of epace in your columns. 8 am I, and I shall not oarrate O that T worked bara to pay Mr. Conner, and did pay him, until his first type sold me were paid for, nor aball I notice all the flings of Mr. Connor, and hie talk about obtaining goods under false pretences, &c. He ays the facts are made up from memory, and I presume they are, for I, under no circumstance, owe Mr. Conner one dollar, even the $220 in dispuie is about $100 more then be would swear to. Now, sir, I will tell you the true reason of Mr. Conner’ conduct. He bas never had any good reason for his an- be ever been gully of any parieaa een ver an: wards me, Has he ever spoker funie boas 0 & kind word in your hear- ig, Cote his life? Never; and youknow i He harps upon the Brooks 100 which you gave me in a credit to Perase & On one occasion (and from that time I date Mr. Conner’s vindictive hostility to me, aud a desire to dis- credit and injure me in every way in his power, and especially with you and with those connected with you), I was in his office on some business, and be informed me of some severe remarks made by Persse & Brooks about the sum of $88, which was on your letter of credit of $100. Itold Mr. Conner how it occurred, and spoke my opinion very Ling 4 of Persee & Brooks. At that time I never suspected Mr. Conner of having anything but a true and honest regard in a very important matter con- nected with your interest. I declared to Mr. Conner my candid opinion of Persse & Brooks, and of the immense fortune they had acquired in supplying the Henao with aper of an inferior kind auc at prices far beyond what any paper manufacturer in the country would think of asking. Yes, sir. Here was the point when James Con- ner’s frelings changed. I had showed him that I was pecieotiy posted in what he and his co-laborers, Messrs. erase & Brooks, were about He knew these things. Ove was, that I had, through all the years of my wild, wayward cccentricities or irre ularities, founa a friend iv you, and thet the result had nto produce a feeling of personal attachment and gratitude above ail selti-b motives. (Here follows a long story pitcbiog into Persse aud Brooks, which has little refereuce to Scoville and Con- ner.} * * * * * ‘These were matters that | told Mr. Conner. He showed &@ great and uncalled for spirit—said it was no such thing —that nobody could furnish paper 6» cheap, and all that stuff. 1 was surprised, and I svon found why James Con- ner was 80 urgeut a supporter of Messrs. Persee & Brooks, and it was evident to me what an avalanche | had iaao- cently brough: upon my head. No tir. If I had never told James Conner what¥f thought of Perste & Brooke, and their system of sapplyiag paper to the Hrxarp, which had been so enormons, James Conner would never have misrepresented my pri vate transactions with him, or accused me of borrowing moaey of a man who would have even me in Jerusalem before be would have loaned me six cents. Hereafter, I mean to Opeuly express my opinion ct people as I nnd them. A rogue! will call a rogue, and a thiefI will calla thief; and by these means eecape the consequence of being myself killed with kindness by those who never hesitate to injure me behind my back. I am, as ever, your sincere and grateful trend, EPH A. SCOVILLE.
