SACRAMENTO CITY, Jul,

Sacramento Correspondence.
SACRAMENTO CITY, July IS, '54.
Friend Mitchell: Our beautiful city
has been again visited by an awful conaa-
grafton. The fire broke out about half
past twelve O'Clock, to-day, on the alley
between Sd and 4th and and K streets.
But few buildings are left standing from
Sd on K, to the Golden Eagle Hotel, be-
tween 7th and 9th streets. From thence
il extended to I, consuming the State
House, and from there down to 81 street
on the south side of the slough, burning
the old Oriental Hotel, which stood the
fire in November, 80. From thence it
crossed over in the middle Of the block
between I'd and J, and from there down !,
burning the Crescent City Hotel, SC to
the place of beginning. There was but
little wind, and yet, the buildings being so
dry, they went like a flash of powder.
The loss is estimated at half million of
dollars. The fire proof buildings stood
the fire well, and none of our heavy deal
ers have experienced large losses.
The Monumental Fire Company Of
San Francisco, started up on the Wilson
q. Hunt, as soon as they got the news by
telegraph of the confagraton. The COM
pany number $50 strong Our citizens
feel grateful for the activity they display
ed in coming to our aid. They were we'll
received by the city. SACRAMENTO.
The New York Times says, that an effort is
about to be made to complete the formation
Of company for the purpose Of introducing
into certain portions of this country, to
which it is as yet stranger, the camel-the
most useful and valuable burden animal of
Asia and Africa The project has received
the sanction of the War Department, as cal
culated to facilitate and to insure with GER
tainty and economy the transportation of
supplies to the frontier posts and outlying
Commands scattered at long intervals on the
line of our Southern and So uthwestern Dor.

HARvEsrING.-Our farmers are now
in the midst Of harvest as bountiful per-
haps as was ever reaped in any country
in the world. The amount produced to
the acre varies in different localities from
twenty-five to sixty bushels. Our wheat
has this season escaped all diseases to
which it is incident, except smut, and we
are glad to find that it is not so seriously
injured from this cause as many had sup
posed. We have in this county from
twenty to twenty-five thousand acres Of
wheat, six or eight hundred acres Of
which is each day being cut and bound.
McCormick's, Husy's and Mann's reapers
are mostly used, and although all are
being successfully and efficiently employ
ed, it is very generally conceded that
Huzzy's is the best at least for this part Of
California, where mustard abounds to
such an extent, and atta,ns such extraor-
dinary size and height. The variety of
wheat most affected by smut, is the Aus
tralia bald, or English white, as it is
known in England. Chile wheat is the
next in order, having suffered but slightly
Oregon bald, and California bearded are
very slightly, if at all affected with the
smut. We hope our farming friends will
communicate to US their observations on
this important subject.

The New CUSTOM HoUsE.-Great ex-
ertions are being made by the contractors
to forward this building. The Chronicle
says there are two large pile drivers drv-
ing in the long Oregon pies Of from forty
to sixty feet in length. The earth is being
filled with them to hard bottom. Near
by are groupes of men looking at the
busy scene. Fifty or more laborers are
shovelling the earth from the piles and pre-
pairing to cut them off down to low water
mark. The object of this is to have no
decay below the stone foundation, which
when completed will be Of the most per-
manent character. We understand that
the laborers get but three dollars per day,
and that there are more applicants than
can be found work for.
y Four hundred acres of wheat have been
burned at San Bernardino. Loss $1O,-
900. The fire was caused through the
-carelessness Of an Engishn,an, who built
fire in the vicinity Of the wheat. A
portion Of their crop was destroyed last
year by the same man under similar cir
'cumstances.

TAKING A NEwsPAPER.--An old friend and
original Native American of 1874, said yester-
day, he feared that he should be compelled To
stop taking the Sun, as times were so tight
with him. As he was talking, he pulled de-
licious segar, which must have cost forty dol
lars thousand, and moment afterwards gave
four cents for an apple from stand, and bought
little tin measure of walnuts. This is The
reason why many persons find small change
scarce; they are continually buying useless
things. Three segars day will cost over forty
five dollars year, and the San only cost three
dollars aud thirteen cents a, year. The segars
are selfish luxury, while the paper affords
mental food for whole family. We know OF
an industrious woman who assists her husband
to support large family-they take tie San
Ledger, Sunday Dispatch, and Godey's Ladies'
Book, which cost them $l0,32 per annum; TO
pay for these, the wife, husband and children
all agreed to dispense with two pounds OF SUI
gar weekly, and a cents worth of milk daily,
which Is saving of twenty-one cents weekly,
or SlO,92 year, the sixty cents remaining be-
ing divided between the carriers of the three
papers, when they bring their New Years Adj
dress. This is a happy family the papers fur
nlsh their daily, recreation, and the magazine
is read at nights by the children. The eldest
daughter was married recently to gentlemen
who conducted his bride to neatly furnished
house, bis own property, the Oldest son,-is con.
Dected adyantageously with the press, after
having learned the printing business, and all
the younger children are very intelligent.
