SALrPBTRE.-The New York Herald SAYS /:
The immense consumption of gunpowder, which
has been for some time going on between the
belligerents in the Eastern war, has began to
tell upon the prices of lead and saltpetre.
Since the arrival of the Baltic, lead has ad-
vanced to ota6sc. per lb., with free sales on
speculation, of both foreign and domestic
), 200 pigs of Galena changed hands yesterday
at the above quotations. At last accounts the
stock in England was very m materially reduced,
while prices ruled at higher figures The
stock Of saltpetre in the United States has be-
come very small, and prices have undergone a
great advance. Grade, which before the war
sold at about 7a7lc., is now very firm ct l5c
There can be no destructive wars without
"villainous saltpetre." 1t must be had in
large supplies, or the system of war must 90
back to the use Of hand to hand implements.
Our government, having experienced great
difficulties for the want Of it during the reyo-
luton, as well as in the war of 1872, has since
been more proyident for future contingencies,
and Congress has for some twenty or thirty
years past appropriated about 500, 900 per an
mum for the purchase and storage of ssftpstre,
so that we might now probably stand Ave or
ten years war even without entirely exhaust
ing our supplies. This precsution was the
more necessary as the most prolific mines in
the world, on the tributaries OF the Ganges, in
India, were under the control of England.

 PRAYER FOR RAIN.

Oh God send rain, the thirsty earth is crying, Oh God. send rain, the fowefs of spring are
 dying; The withered leaves are fallifly to the ground, And rustic like the early Auttmn's sound. Oh God! send rain, the fairting winds are
 signing;
 Oh God send rain, the young and lovely lying On the low couch, pray but for one fresh
 breath
 Ere they must langnish a,s 'Gyfed of death. Oh God! send rain, the first fruits, where are
 they? In Spring young morn they wither and decay; Our hopes are blighted, and the poor man $
 cry!
 Will it not reach the mercy seat on high? "Our little ones will come for daily bread, Without the showers, ah, how can they be
 fed?''
 Oh send the early and the latter rain, And let the young buds burst and bloom again The traveller seeks the valleys green repose, Where the cool spring in silent beauty flows But comes in vain, the fountain hath gone dry There is no moisture for the weary eye. The thirsty lambs upon the brown grass lay They licked the dew that came at early day, But pant at noon; the streamlets pathis there But tie clear water? aye, the stones lie bare One cry from man, and beast and chipping bird Borne on breeze, at morn and eve Is heard; Oh, seud the early and the latter rain, And the parched earth shall yield her fruit
 again.

ShiDS Lost

By The sloop Komchadell, which ar
rived here Sept. 18Th. 63 days from Cas-
tire, in the Gulf of Taltary, we have
news of the whaling fleet in the North
Pacific. 1t appears that on August 4.h,
when near Round Island, (Boussole
Straits) the Kamchade spoke othe whal-
ing bark Milnwood, of New Bedford.
Capt. Sylvia. of that vessel, reported
that the ship King Fisher, Palmer, and
the ship Enterprise, Russell, both ofNew
Bedford, had been wrecked on Compa-
ny Island, neal Boussole's Straits. The
ships and cargoes were totally lost, the
crews were taken on board other ships
bound through the strai
The ship Jeifcrsol, of New London,
was totally lost OF Cape Elizabeth, (Sagg
Hollow Island. The crew and officers
we've all saved.
The ship Edgar. of Cold Spring, was
totally lost on Jonas Island. The crew
and officers were all saved.
Capt. Sylvia further reported that he
saw, off Jonas Island, a ship bottom up;
but he could not make out her name.
He stated that fourteen whalers have
been lost this season. He could not,
however, ascertain their names. These
are sorry news to go to the East by the
steamers tomorrow. II appears further
that up to the LIST. of July none of that
fleet had done anything in whaling. All
had suffered more or less from the tenn
pestuOus weather which had prevailed
up to the above date.-San Francisco
