BURNING THE eosPoRT NAVY YARD.

The Petersburg Express has the following ae
count of the condition of things at the OosPort
Navy Yard after the fire:
1t gives us much pleasure to say tnat the
damage to the Navy Yard is much less than was
at first anticipated The large brick building
which occupies the front of the yard, and IS useu
as sail loft, ringers and gunner shop was nreu'
and ali the wood work destroyed, but the walls are
standing and still good Both of the ship houses

They were the Pennsylvania seventy -f"urs Column

Germantown and Plymouth, tr'gates Kar'tan ana
Columbia, and brig Dol rhin. The Germantown
was living at the wharf under Il large pair OF ar'
which were thrown across her decks by cutting
loose the guys The ship nearly cut III two,
and sunk at the wharf. Many of the cannon.
besides being spiked, had their truncheons knocked
of, thus rendering them useless. But there are
vet more than five hundred heavy ordnance still IN

The dry dock has suffered no damage, except to
the gates, which can be repaired at very little
cost This is most important acqulsltlon, as It's

These houses are about six hundred feet long, and
the material contained in them is not worth less
than 81 900 900.
1t is peculiarly gratifying to US to have it in our
power to say that the several stores filled with pork,
beef bread, beans whiskey, tobacco, cordage. can

article, which is most needed by us at this time,
escaped the incendiarys torch, and is now in our

houses and sheds of little value were destroyed.
The damage done to Gosport amounts to the
burning of eight houses. These not OF very

damage.

REACTION IMPENDING.

The Providence (Rhode ISand) Post contains
the following striking sentences:
"a war based upon spirit of revenge, or a
disposition to subjugate tie States now assuming
an attitude of rebeIliDn will not lon. he tolerated
by the people If We have nubler purposes
than to crafty passions, we shall soon witness
a sudden and overwhelming reaction all over the
North. and the Governments of Europe will inter
fere to bring quarrel to close.
We must not long enibarrass the commerce OF
the country England Looks to the South for cot
ton, and will not, for any length OF time, permit
the hlockading of Southern ports.
I'VE say, let Congress, the first day of the
session, put the Gnvernment right, and put the
North right the questions which have led to
this quarrel. Deny it who may, we began this
controversy. We began this interference with
State rights. We have been for thirty years the
ag.rcssors, We have produced, ny our own will
fulness and hig"try; by our exhibitions of hatred
aud affected superiority; the very state Of things
from which the country is now suffering. Let
Congress turn the tide which is setting against
reasonable, liberal. honorable compromise be
offered a; once, aud let the offer be kept before the
South until the controversy is broug to an end.
The Utica New York; Observer says:
"Of all the wars which have dis.raced the
human race, it has been reserved for
li-htened nation to he involved in the most useless
aud foolish one. What advantage can possibly
accrue to any from this war. however pro-
Ion"ed it might be? Does any man suppose that
millions of fee white Americans in the Southern
States. who will soon be arrayed against Us can
be conquered BY any efforts which may be brought
against them? Brave men, fighting their own
soil, and, they believe. for their -ireedom and
dearest rights, he subiugatcd. The
war may be prolonged until We ourselves ex-
hausted and become an easy prey to military
deSp"t>m or equally fatal anarchy; but cau
never conquer the South. Admit. if you please,
that they rebels and traitors they are beyond
"nr reach. Why should we destroy ourselves in
inurine them?

PROBABLE SCARCITY OF PRovIs-
TOMS

If the farmers attentive to the signs of the
times there is no need to aImoniSh them to pre-
pare to meet the demand for veIything of an ed-
BILE nature, shat Can be produced on their lands
We would advise them to pitch their crops to the
utmost extent tther available labor. 1t is good
time now to enlarge the area for corn Better d.
minish the crop of tobacco or abandon it for the
present, and devote the labor intended for it, to
;he growth Of something to eat There is no hu-
man probability that tobacco will be worth any
thing tor at least another year. The factories are
being clos ell worked with greatly reduced force
and the stock of manufactured tobacco on hand
cannot be sold ut any price On the other hand
there is an absolute certainty that provisions WILL
be nigh. With armies in The field more numerous
than have ever been this continent, and
labor from agricultural pursuits, it Will require
everything that buuntifnl mother earth Can pro-
ducn to sustain them and the other non-producins
classes Of the community.
With all intercourse cut off between the South
and the non -slaveholding States the want of meat
will be felt more severely than anything else. We
have now to try the experiment of living more up
on our own resources, and we trust every man will
be ready to meet the emergency. And we would
say to the thrifty housewives of the country raise
