Small Pox is reported on the increase at Greensboro,' and decreasing slowly at New Bern A few cases have been reported in the Country on farms. I have ^[[insert]] sent [[/insert]] Surgeons to such points with vaccine matter, & hope to check the disease.

A decrease of rations for the half month of nearly 5000 will be observed. There appears to be a mistake in the report from Greensboro of which I have asked an explanation.

Some cases of violence have occurred in the lower part of Wayne County. As soon as proper investigation can be had they will be forwarded for trial |
