Sickness among Federal troops.

--We have a report, pretty well authenticated, that the camp fever is prevailing to an alarming extent among the Yankee soldiers in the neighborhood of Yorktown, and that they are dying at the rate of from twenty to twenty-five per day. A few days ago they removed two thousand of their sick to Newport's News.

From the same source we have a statement that the yellow fever has broken out among the Yankees at Norfolk and Portsmouth, and that they are suffering terribly from its effects.
