THE CoNFLAGRATION.

A great black cloud of smoke and sheets of
fame are now seen near the railroad track still
another and another. Now the flames and
smoke are seen almost eVerywhere-up along
the plsin, on the skirts of the woods, where the
suffers tents were situated, the flames and
smoke have also made their appearance the
whole of the tents, which were occupied by at
least three thousand people, and all the goods
and effects which they could not move in the
haste and confusion, now lie at the mercy of the
approaching fame. Large and cOmmodious
frame houses, which had been erected for car
penters, farrieTs, lumbermsn, and the railroad
labore1s, with steam saving machines, etc, all
went in their turn. The pork house sent up
dreadfully black, slowly towering, vast column
Of smoke. This column, in its appearance, as
contrasted with the clear blue sky, was blscker
than the blaekest ihuuder-cloud the eye ever
rested on

THE EVACUATION.

The embsrkation of troops now commenced,
the vessels lying close to the river bank, and
some distance below the Whi House. Tne G
Vanderbilt, sanitary commission boat, had some
$50 sick and wounded men on board; to these
were added some 100 civilians and zoo or 800
troops, the John Brooks and KnickerbOcker to
take the rest The latter was also to take Gene
raj Casey aad staff

opposite the house.

THE EXPLOSION.

While all eyes were strained on it, watching
the peculiarly slow and winding ascent upward,
terrific explosion, carrying fears to the hearts
of ali sit shook the earth, was heard and a mo-
ment after an immense mass of very. white
smoke was seen forcing its way up through the
dark rolling mass of black, and as it developed
itself assumed the shape of monster balloon.
The phenomenon was awfully grand. The
lookers. on did not speak, lest they should lose
one glimpse Of this, the grsndest scene sny of
them ever beheld Explosions Of shells on
board our burning barges, which lay up where
our wha yes were situated, were now frequent,
the fragments falling into the river The red
flames shot up at least twenty feet high along
the whole length of White House Landing The
White House itself stood calmly looking on, and
many were copjecturing what would be its fate.
In few minutes the demon Of fire put his head
through one of the top windows, and we knew
then that it was alup with tilt burned steadily
for about one hour when not one inch Of it re-
mained except two tai brick chimneys to tell
the future traveller of its fate

All being now ready, it only remained to de-
stTOy the baggage and ammunition wagons, TIE
ambulSnces, carriages and stores which had
been collected around the headquarters for a
final wind up. These were easily removed to
the bank of the river, and rolled down the cliff.
Great laughter and merriment was ELECTED by this
part of the performance. The wagons heavily
laden, were heeled up to the verge, and then the
boys let go, altogether, and away they went
bang, dash, smash-in some cases turning q
complete well-performed somerset. Then
nearly whole company Of soldiers competed
with each other to see which would pitch bran
new shovels, picksxes, spades, boxes of tea and
tobacco, boxes oflenons, oranges, cirgars, pick
les, iron buckets, etc, faTthest into the river.

IA This column is devoted exclusively
to the great Haytian Emigration move
ment, which is just beginning to attract
attention. AS the colored people Of
this county, as we'll as all others, have
q deep interest in the enterprise, we iu.
vite them to use the space allotted as
medium Of communicating to each
other, and to the public, the results of
their Investigation, and reflection, on
the duties and interests of the African
race, in view of their position here, and
the prospects held out to them under
the Government Of the truly great Geff-

and pertinent articles will be received
from persons of whatever color, and in
the absence of such communications the
column will be fllod with such infor-
nation on the subject as We may be able
to obtain.

sELEcTING SEED CORN.

A correspondent of the Boston Cazti-
GATOR gives the following hints in regard
to selecting seed corn:
l. Pick the ears that set nearest to
the ground.
2. Those ears that have short foot
stalk.
8. From stalks having the most ears.
Generally but one ear on a stalk is
proper for seed, and that usually the sec
ond ear. If the first ear is as good, take
that.
4. Never take from a stalk having
but one ear, if stalks can be found hay
ing two or more ears.
5. Always take ears that are filled
out full to the end, and that run beyond
the husk, if such can be had.
g. Lay up four or FIVE times as much
as will probably be wanted.
2. When you come to plant. before
shelling, break every ear and see if the
pith of the cob is dried up and hollow,
for if it is not, the corn is not fully
ripe.> Then shell off the butt and tip
till you come to the long grains.
IF farmers will follow this course
yearly, the crop may be greatly in
creased. Great crops can never be
raised from stalks having but one ear.
The carelessness of farmers in selecting
seed corn is one great cause why corn
crops are gen. rally Of SO little profit
The general practice of farmers in Sc
lecting seed corn, is to take the best and
fairest ears in the pile, without knowing
if there were one or more ears on stalk
and most likely there was but one.

Letter from Deacon Hill.

PoRT-AUPRINcE, Dec. 3, 1861.
Dear Sir:-Your letter of the 9th of
September came safe to hand, but alter
considerable delay. have delayed an
swering it, partly from the pressure of
private business, and partly from de-
sire to obtain such information as might
enable me to say something that would
be of interest, and that whatever I
should say on the subject of emigration
may be founded on truth. In Port-au-
Prince, all is we'll, so far as outward ap-
pearance makes manifest. We are as
healthy as ordinary. Business has
been somewhat dull; but now, as the
coffee has begun to come in, and many
vessels are arriving daily, we hope that
there will be revival. I am informed
there have been several arrivals of emf
grants in st. Mark-that they have ar
rived in good health, and in o state of
cheerfulness. Some have visited Port
au-Prince, and l have had the pleasure
of conversing with them in regard to
their first impression. AS far as my in :
formation has reached, all seems to be
fair as could be expected.
1t was reported in Port-au-Prince,
that the emigrants near St. Mark had
manifested great deal of dissatisfac-
tion, and that there was a disposition,
on the part of many, to leave; but have
had the pleasure of conversing with a
respectable and confidential Wesleyan
minister, resident in Port-au-Prince,
who has just returned from that city,
and he informs me that he conversed
with large number of the emigrants
respectively, and found all with whom
he conversed to be quite otherwise than
complaining. The general acknowledge
ment was, that the Haytian Government
had gone far beyond their expectations
in benevolent acts. AS to the friends
at Drouillard, the only difficulty with
which they have had to contend has
been the fever. They have suffered
much; but by courage, patience, and
perseverance, we hope they will finally
be able to overcome. [ have had con-
versations with some OF them, and they
inform me that, notwithstanding their
Affections, they are not discouraged, but
expect finally to surmo unit all difficult
ties, and by the blessings of Providence,
realize their sanguine expectations,
which are to develop the resources of
the plains of Drouillard, in the produc-
ton Of cotton, Several buildings have

LETTER FROM JOSEPH @. susr1Ll.

HARRISBURG, January s, 1862.
sLan,es Redpath-Deor Sir: l have
been particularly impressed with the
peculiar aptness and fitness of the re-
marks Of Mr. Melrose, in late number
of The Pine and Palm, under the head
Of Busttill's Industrial Regiment; so
much SO tha have concluded to change
the name Of the Gefrard Coffee Grow
ers, to that Of Geffrard Industrial Reg
iment; and by that title tho Growers
will be hereafter known. However
much might, from personal pride or
interest, desire to see my own name oc-
c1pying a position so prominent, yet l
prefer to use that best calculated to ae-
complish the great object in view; feel
ing that by so doing, shall secure for
the Regiment the cordial welcome, re-
spect, and consideration of the Haytian
people, do homage to nations admi.
ration and pride, and, perhaps, inspire
our ranks with the courage, energy,
perseverance, and ability, that has char
acterized, and crowned with success,
the public career Of the greatest, wisest,
most heroic, liberal, aud enlightened
statesman of the age-GEFFRARp:
! "One of the few, the immortal names
That were not bern to die"
I am certainly under many obliga-
tions to MIR Melrose, for his we'll timed
and suggestive remarks, for this change
will ehectually remove the impression,
under which some have labored, that
persons connected with the Growers
coul. not engage in the culture of any
of the valuable products of Hayti, but
coffee, indigo, and spice; but now it will
be readily understood that each person,
though forming part of the Regiment,
will be left entirely free to cultivate
whatever he may choose, and engage
in any individual or company enter
prise that may present inducements of
honor or profit. The special object of
the Regiment will be to unite in one
body for mutual strength, interest, iu-
fueuce. enterprise and social inter-
course, all who intend emigrating to
Hayti in the spring, as combination of
purpose and promptitude of action must
ever procure beneficial results, 1 earn
nestly invite the cooperation of all in
dividuals, parties, colonies, communi-
ties, or other associations. Their con-
nection with the Regiment will not re-
quire means, nor will expense be in
Cured, neither will it, in any manner,
interfere with their present arrange
ments or organization, their officers will
retain and perform the duties of their
present positions, their leaders acting
as their special representatives, in all
respects, as they did before connecting
themselves with the Regiment-ercept
