To day the weather is cloudy and gloomy in the extreme; fever has not only increased in the city, but seemed to thwart all efforts to save tbe lives of many poor people, who moved out of the city, by appearing ap-pearing in two of the camps.

The disease, to day. has taken down mauy negroes, in some neighborhoods sick oues being found in every bouse. There is great need ol physicians and nurses, our own physicians having more than they can atleud to, and many of the sick having to go for daya without the attention at-tention of a nurse. A ride through the diuiricts whero the fever is worst, draws forth mauy appeals to be directed where or how I to obtain the services of a physician. ' As a result many do pot receive I medical attention until luo I ate to leave life. The Howard's employ five physicians but the sick calls are more than tbey can attend to. Two of our practicing physicians have died with tbe fever and five others are now down. Pittsburg, iG.
