The Price Of BreadstufTs.

Wheat is now selling in New York at
$2,1 In Alexandria S2.09. In Balti-
more $500 a $2.06; and about the same
at Richmond. Flour is selling at $500
with an upward tendency. We remark
ed some weeks ago, that we fully endorsed
the prediction of the Richmond Wing,
that wheat would be eventually sold at
$500 per bushel We also stated that
We thought -four would go up to $40 per
barrel, in case of war. Our reason for
this opinion is, that, if wal becomes gene
raj in Europe there will be in the field
between two and five millions of people,
man, of whom will be drawn from The
occupation Of producers, and be made con-
sumers. Four millions Of men, were they
all originally soldiers, would consume more
surplus Breadstuils than Europe could af-
ford. Then take into consideration that
the Black Sea supplies will be stopped.
and that Frances crop is but hall one,
and that she now is an importer of Bread
stuf1s, we do not think it will be consd-
cred stretch of the Imagination. to assume
that flour, in the event OF general Euro
pean war, will range from $40 to SIS.
We do not ask any one to believe this
we give it as our opinion-ahd give our
reasons for it. Let others reason for them
selves, if they are not satisfied with this
conclusion.

Melancholy Iisas Ter.


NAYAEsBoRo, Jan. 20, 1884.
A house and kitchen, on the farm of Mr..
Simpson Peter l ] miles from Waynesbo-
70, Oh South River, were destroyed BY fire
ON Tuesday night, about eleven O'Clock
and horrible to relate, three persons of col
or-an old man, his wife, and son, about u
years old who were asleep in the kitchen,
persisted in the flames. The house was
occupied at the time, BY son of Mr..
Peter who had hired three servants from
Mr. Abel, at Abemarle. At the hour of
the fire, young Mr. Pelter was absent from
the house, and there was only one white
p trson on the premises-a Young man in
the employ of Mr.. Pelter. He was rous.
ed from sleep, as he supposed, by the cries
OF the suffering. and female voice was all
he distinctly heard, after getting up. He
rushed Gut Of the house towards the kitcb.
en-, which was adjoining the house, and
found all the lower department. a sheet of
tire-(the lodging Of the servants was on
the second floor of the kitchen)-but this
period the devouling element had done lis
work, and all was quiet save the cracking
flames. On visiting the runs next morn
leg. melancholy spectacle was presented.
Three spots, within the limits ofthe kitch.
en-, presented little heaps of calcined bones,
which. by the touch crumbled into dust
and mingled with. the ashes of the black
ened pile leaving not fragment demand
ing the rite of burial.
The fire was communicated, doubtless,
from pot IN which fire was kept fol smo-
KING meat--a space of a few feet between
the house and kitchen being planketl up
and used as smoke house. Young Mr..
Peter lost everything in the house except
single bed, and some triiles. Among the
valuables burnt was the bacon of 10 or 70
hogs. W.

that TO conceal all traces OF crime, this dis

TIE Pope's Nuncio.

Gen. Cass offered the following resolu-
tion in the Senate Of the United States,
OH the 23d, which was adopted, after a
lengthy debate;
Resoied, That the President of the
United States be requested to communicate
to the Senate, as far as he may deem COM
patib'e with the public interest, a copy OF
any correspondence which may have taken
place with the government Of the Papal
States touching mission 70 the United
States.
He said that application was made some
time ago, TO our charge at Rome, b. the
Papal Government, TO know whether a
mission to the United States would be ia
vorably received TO which our repre-
sentative replied, that 1t would afford the
y. N"n,e and Government Of this country
greet satisfaction. He said his object was
to know Wheeler Bedin. was a guest OF
the nation, or foreigner, travelling. Al
either event, he had been treated most
shameiully, and it was disgrace to the
participants, who had no sympathy from
HE true American people.
1t was stated, as a cause for these out
RACES, that this gentleman was concerned
in the proceedings at Bologna, when Bassi
was put TO death. He had investigated
that matter, and was satisfied that this gem
tleman had no more to do with that execu-
ton than he (Mr. Cass) had. The Aus
trans had taken possession Of Bologna
and had set up military authority, over
throwing all other authority, and, under
their power Bassi was executed. as they
called it; but murdered, as he would con-
slider it. They seized Bassi, tried aud ex-
ecuted him, while the Iiour-giass was tell
ing sixty inmates. This was done by
Austrian military authority, and in it tins
gentleman took no part.
MIR. Cass was followed by several Ssna.
tors, in pretty much the same strain. 1t is
gratifying to know that but few, if any
OF the actors in the disgraceful mobs thar
have disturbed the peaceful passage of this
parsonage through our country, are Amer
lean citizens. Bedini is represented as
gentleman of extraordinary learning. anna
bic and agreeable in his social Intercourse,
and such Il person as should command the
respect OF every individual. 1t speaks
poorly for the authorities in the localities
where these riotous proceedings have oc.
cured, that no steps have been taken 10
vindicate cur national character, and
punish these violations Of Law, and every
dictate of justice and hospitality.
