We congratulate our fellow-citizens on the disappearance of the fatal fever which has so long afflicted this city. It gives us peculiar pleasure to take our returning brethren by the hand, and to see business, activity and cheerfulness, reviving.—
We felicitate ourselves that the disease did not generally assume that deadly aspect, which has characterized it in some other parts of the United States, and that it did not extend its desolating effects to every part of the city. Nearly one half the city has either wholly escaped, or experienced only here and there a scattered case. It has also been marked with a less degree of contagion, than in Philadelphia; the physicians, (whose indefatigable attention to the sick deserves our warmest praise) the clergy, and other attendants, having generally escaped.
We trust, in a few days, to see people from the country visiting the city without apprehension, as they may undoubtedly do it without danger.
