The Daily Dispatch: October 6, 1862., [Electronic resource], Yellow fever at Wilmington. (search)
Yellow fever at Wilmington. --The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal acknowledges the receipt of a large quantity of food and delicacies for the sick of that city, from the ladies of Sumter, S. C. On Thursday 35 new cases of fever were reported and six deaths, and on Wednesday 41 new cases and 8 deaths. The disease is not abating, but yields more readily to treatment. The Journal says: With the first frost, there will be a return to town and a resumption of accustomed avocations — Houses now are closed up. One can walk for squares without seeing one house open or occupied, and sundry mornings this week we have come from our place of abode to our office without meeting or seeing a white face. All this is depressing enough, but it is better that it should be so than that people should remain needlessly to give pabulum to the disease.
