DESTRUCTIVE CONFEDERATION!

HiLADELPAIA July III.
One Of the most destructive confiagra.
tions that ever occurred in Philadelphis.
broke out yesterday afternoon at No. %
North Delaware Avenue, in the fourth
story, occupied for storage. The flames
spread IN every direction; in a short time
extending West to Water street and South
feom Race to Callowhil! streets.
Three terrific explosions occurred, ORR
ginating, as il is supposed, from about one
thousand bags Of saltpstre, stored in
Brooks, warehouse. Many lives were lost,
among whom were many valuable, emerge
tic and noble fremen. OF those, at least
thirty are supposed to be killed, and ten OF
more Of the wounded will probably die
The total number cannot be. less than one
hundred. Judging from the extent Of
ground covered by the fire, and the value
Of the property consumed, we venture te
estimate the loss at four millions Of dol
lars.

KossurH AND HIS COMPANIONS.

The London Daily News has received
private letter from a travelling friend con-
veying some interesting particulars of the
illustrous Hungarians whom the jealousy Of
Austria, the dictaton of Russia, and the
weakness of the Porte, have consigned to i'm
prisonment at Kutayeb. 1t was gratifying TO
learn that the exiles enjoyed toler able health
and were more reconciled than at first, 10
their unaccountable captivity. Kossuth,
Batthyni, Messaros, Perezel, and the rest
were, indeed, struck with dependency
when conveyed as culpri,s and captives to
the barrack prison of Kutaveh, where cells
were assigned them for habitation more saw.
oring of Newgate than Of honorable captivity
The s,rictest guard was kept over them, and
they were not allowed TO pass the walls OF
the barrack without a strong escort. The
Turkish officers and soldiers have treated the
prisoners with Difference, and the Turkish
population with every mark of Oriental re-
spect, Kossuth being with them the Kral
who had held for time in his hands the
desiinies of Eastern Europe.
This universal respect was especially evi
dent on the occasion Of kossuth's reception
OF his children. Three Of them, interesting
and intelligent little creatures, were sent b!
the Austrian Government, not without foreigI
intercession, TO share their fathers captivity
H. and Madam Kossuth were allowed to q
and meet them-under guard, of course ant
the very guard of rude Turkish soldier
were affected TO tears at the meeting. Ii
the education Of his children, the delving an,
planting of kind of garden, within the bar
rack wall, and an occasional game of ski,tle
with the companions of his political AM
military struggles, Kossuih whles away tn

RESTORING AND PRESERVING THE SIGHT
A friend who had read the following valuable
item of information, but who had forgotten
which way ''to rub his eyes" for loss of sight
by age, requested US to republsh the process.
Ii is as follows:
For near sightedness, close the eyes and
press the fingers gently, from the nose, out.
rdrd, across the eyes. This fatens the pu-
pill and thus lengihens or extends the angle
of vision. This should be done several times
a day, till short sightedness is overcome.
For loss of sight by age, such as require
magnifyng glasses, pass the fingers or towel
from the outer corner of the eyes nwdrdlu
above and below the eyeballs pressing gently
against them. This rounds them up, and
preserves or restores the sight.
1t has been already said that this is nothing
new. The venerable John Quincy Adams
preserved his sight in this way, in full vigor
TO the day of his death. He told Lawyer
Ford of Lancaster, who wore glasses, that il
he would manipulate his eyes with his fin
gers from their external angles inwardly, he
would soon be able to dispense with glasses.
Ford tried it, and soon restored his sight per-
fectly, and has since preserved il by the con-
iinuance of this neutrality-suspicious..

time of il 10 get up respectable show,
among the people, to sustain them in their
desperate efforts to destroy the fairest work
which the wisdom of man has ever planned
as poitica! government. The Nashville
Convention proved, as everybody knows,
a contemplate failure but, from the vapor'
ings of some of its members, and the declara-
tions in Congress, we expected the next ma
nifcsiation of the dsunion spirit would be
more respectable in point of numbers and in
personal character. But lukewarmness
that is in singular contrast with the fiery APP
peals of the leaders, appears to have seized
upon those who were expected 10 come TO
the rescue Georgia. we are told, was uEani-
nous TO man for secession, in the event OF
certain resolutions passing Congress. Nothing
could keep them in the Union, and despatch
which appeared in the Southern Press, few
days ago, told us that the Convention at Ma
con was tremendous outpouring of the peo-
p Compared with the Nashville Conven-
tion it was, but the $4,000 persons who were
expected TO be present dwindled down to
1900, and they not all disunionists. The
Washington Union has the following des-
patches:
Macon, 22d Aug-lOi o'clock.-The Mass
Meeting held by the Disunionists in Georgia,
proves TO be a failure. Not exceeding four hun
dred delegates here to-day, and not more than
| fifteen hundred at the meeting all told.
Macon, Aug. 22-lO o'clock, 55 minutes. =
Mass Meeting is a failure. Not more then fifteen
| hundred men in town-one-third Union men.
| Only three hundred arrived by railroad. Rhett,
Yancey, Colquitt and Stiles principal speakers.
Disunion openly avowed, Some delegates repu-
diate it. Rhett favors temporary secession
Fifteen hundred persons speaking for the
State of Georgia, and presuming to call the
Senators and Representatives in Congress
home, may seem like tremendous affair TO
an excited disunionists, but TO reasonable
man it is rather a favorable symptom tina,
the people at large, in the South, know toe
well the value of the Union, and too dearly
prize ii to risk its dissolution at the mere cal
of the ambitious demagogues who are endea
voring TO fan the flame of national discord
The dsunionists of the North have beer
equally as unfortunate in all their manifesto
lions. The convention of crazy people, white
and colored, assembled at Cazenovia, preacf
disrespect of the laws, resistance 10 authority
and violation of the obligations which as cii
zens of one State we owe TO all the others
but, beyond their own immediate circle o
friends, such sentiments are looked upon
the wild vagaries Of fanaticism. We believe
that, North and South, the sentiments OF re
gard for this glorious Union, under which ,h'
country has prospered and advanced in pow
er, beyond all precedent, still burn as bright
ly as ever in the hearts Of the people, and w
hope it may ever be so.--Phila. Ledger.
