WOODEN BUILDINGS.

In the list of brick blocks we have
incidentally mentioned several wooden
buildings; in addition to these We make
up the following list which is necessarily
imperfect for the reason that is impossi.
ble to keep track of the smaller tene.
ments in progress: Brown & Mumford
are building on Franklin street, few
steps north of Genesee two story
frame building 60x60, the first floor to
be divided into three stores, upper looms
for offices and general purposes, cost
g., 900.
l.. b. Hovey is putting up building
Of the same size on the opposite side of
the street, to be divided into three de-
psrtmeDts, for carriage.making, trim
ming, and harness shop, cost $4,000.
Mrs. IL. NJ Ellis of Jersey City pro-
posos to erect on Hoyt street, about
midway between the Academy and the
plank road, four cottage residences at a
cost of 5000 each.
Mr.. J. A. Perry will build private
residence on Jefferson street this season
at cost Of g., 1000.
The East Saginaw Salt Manufacturing
Company will build six small dwellings
upon their grounds and salt ware
house 60xl50, cost, $4,000.
The figures above given. as to cost,
foot up at sl4s,OOo; taking into &C.
count the many dwellings now in a par.
tial state of completion, the salt blocks,
structures for mechanical purposes, sto
rage, ETC., and smaller tenements, which
We have not attempted to snumeratc,
the gross amount will exceed 5000, 600;
a figure which for city Of less than
six thousand inhabitants, and only q
twelve.yearold at that, may well aston.
ish not only the oldest settlers, but the
most sanguine and visionary, even, Of
the late corners and all outsiders
whatever ideas they may have of this
progressive locality.
One fact to be taken into consideration
10, that these Improvements are all tho
fruit of private enterprise. No public
buildings are on the list, no grand re
suits Of associated capital; these viii
follow in proper time, and when The
spirit Of progress and enterprise thus
individually manifested is consolidated
and combin ed with that design, we shall
witness the erection of edifccs Of ,
more public character which will be al
honor to the city and fitting monument
Of the general good taste and unstinte'
liberality of our people.

a New Expedition,
From the New York Sun.

From the New \ DIRK SUM-
A ter the draft has been successfully
carried out in this city and Brooklyn, and
the soldiers now here are no longer need
ed for the intimidation of rioters, an ex-
petition will be organized by a well-known
general officer, who is now engaged in OBJ
timing steam transports and sailing YES
sells upon which to embark his command
At this time it would be highly improper
to make known the destination of this new
expedition, which is intended to strike
blow at the rebels quite as disastrous as
the fall of Charleston or Savannah could
be. The War Department have determin-
ed to strike quick and hard before the fall
elections, and have decided upon plan
of action that will confirm the faith of
wavering States in the strength of the
Union, as well as to destroy the rebel
armies. The Army of the Potomac hav-
ing many times unsuccessfnlly attempted
the capture of Richmond, is likely to be
re organized under another name; and,
while Washington will not be left unde-
Tended, the warriors of the Potomac will
obtain glory in another direction. In
stead of spending the dog-days in the
Virginia swamps, those gallant soldiers
will be transplanted at once to within a
few miles OF the scene of their operations,
and capture Richmond by their exploits
hundreds of miles away from the rebel
capital.

these three iron clads, in broad daylight
they could enter New York harbor by the
way of Sandy Hook, and burn and destroy
all your ships of war, on the stocks and
afloat, and dockyards, and then pass out
by the way of the Sound, without receiv-
ing any material damage. These assertions
are strong, but none the less true.
What is your government abouta What
are the people about? What is the press
about? Cannot you do something towards
rousing them to sense of their impend-
ing danger? Your fleets, your towns and
your cities are in danger. You may avert
it by instant measures, and even then it
will be only palliation /; for, as far as
can see, these vessels will have complete
control of your coast until the Puritan and
Dictator are fitted out, and that will be
several months.
The rebels here are in great glee in an
ticipation of the intended movements of
these ships. The London Times cores
pondent, writing from Richmond, says,
"The Yankee fleet will make themselves
scarce off the blockaded ports after Sep
tember." l have done my duty in this
serious matter, and trust the government
will do theirs in time

Rebellion against Davis at the South.

There are some persons who are inclin-
ed to doubt the accuracy of the published
statements that a marked change of SEN
timent is going on through out the South,
leading to wholesale assertions from the
rebel armies, the formation of organized
bodies of malcontents, and the open re-
sistance, in some places, of the rebel au-
thority. That this spirit of rebellion,
however, is actually abroad in the South
ern States is capable of easy demonstra-
ton. A letter found in Port Hudson by
a Massachusetts, soldier, and by him sent
to the Boston Traveller, shows that as
long ago as last February conscripts in
Louisiana banded together and defied the
DAVIS Government.
PORT HUDSON, Feb. 9, 1868.
Lieutenant Colonel james II. WingGeld:
Colonel: In obedience to special order No.
81, proceeded to the parish of Washington
and Immediately commenced notifying all men
belonging to my command to come to camp,
when they promised to do SO, and l find nine
vi IllCl UCIc OIl lily IcLtllll,
Others saw belonging to my command, and
some of Company c. who positively refused to
do SO, saying at the same time that they would
prefer to die at home. The absentees from this
command, together with the conscripts, have
formed themselves into a company for mutual
protection and resistance of Confederate au-
thOrites. They number some seventy-tve men,
and meet in their camp once or twice week,
and the depredatiOns carried on by them are
fearful. The citizens are intimidated and dare
not speak their mind i'll the neighbOrhOOd Of
these men.
l also beg leave to submit the following
fact: That the entire lake coast of st. Tam
many, over sixty miles in width, is left un-
guarded, and daily communication is kept up
with the enemy in New Orleans; that cotton
and other cOntrabands are shipped to the en-
envy to any extent the people may sec proper.
l saw many loads of cotton being hauled for
shipment to New Orleans.
There is Il steamer by the name Of the Chas.
Rusk Captain j. johnson, plying between the
lower landings of the Pearl River and some of
the counties in the State of Mississippi. Upon
the return trip she brings cotton to the lower
landings, from thence it is shipped to New
Orleans.
Negroes are constantly leaving Washington
and Fort Iammany parishes, La. and hancock
and Pike counties, Miss. and the people think
they will all leave if there is not sufficient force
sent to protect the coast.
| find the people much expos I'd to the deprc-
datiOns Of this band and ask i'm behalf of the
citizens of the parish OF Washington, in which
companies A, G and X of this battalion were
raised that some 10 &c be sent to protect the
families of the men who are now in the service
Of their country.
With the above facts beg leave to subscribe
myself,
Your Obedient servant,

THE REBEL RAMS In ENGLAND.
The Three Turreted Rebel Rams
Ready for Sea--Threatened Raid
on New York HarbOr in Sep-
TENDER. &C., &c.

LONDON, Aug TO- 1868.
In my last letter, dated from Liverpool,
Informed you that the first OF the great
rebel turreted rams was nearly completed.
She was launched earlier than expected,
and is now in the Craving dock at Liver
pool, completely plated, with her masts
and boilers in and on board, and also a
large part of her machinery. 1t is expec-
ted to have her ready for sea by the 18th
Of August.
Her consort was launched on the I'd day
of August, as well as the one at Glasgow,
and both will be ready to sail late in this
month or the first of September You
now see that I was not wrong when,
months ago, informed you that these
rebeliron clads would be on your coast in
September. 1 hope now the scales are off
the eyes of the venerable Secretary of the
Navy, and that he is making due orepara-
tons to receive these formidable engines
of destruction. l cannot see, from my
stand point. that anything has been done
to counteract the dreadful calamity await
ing you.
To be frank, unless the most strenuous
efforts are made, you will have another
Newport's News tragedy enacted in the
waters of your own beautiful bay; terrible
scenes will transpire under your own win
dows. The speed Of these vessels will be
greater than any of your iron clads. and,
of course, if not early prevented, they
will sail about doing all the harm they
can.
1t is generally supposed here that the
blockading squadrons will be their first
prey; but my own impression is, and it is
founded on good basis, that dash will
be made at New York; and l have no hes
itation in saying, and that from long ex-
perience in gunnery and ships, that with

WASHINGTON, August 31.-Thirty col
ored refugees, from Clarendon county,
arrived here to-day and reported to Capt.
johnson. They say that rebel officers are
busily engaged in conscripting negroes and
hiding them in pens until an opportunity
offers to carry them away. They also re-
port that guns, swords, pistols, &c, are
accumulated there, having been gathered
upon various battle fields by rebel sympa-
thizers and delivered to rebels of that
county, by whom they are sent to the
rebel army.

Union Strength In North Carolina.
From the Richmond Enquirer.

From the Richmond Enquirer.
We are favored with several commune
cations from gentlemen of North Carolina,
breathing the liveliest resentment, or the
deepest humiliation, at certain strange
movements of small faction in their
State. We must decline to publish these
pieces; first because the Enquirer. would
scarcely be large enough to hold them if
we printed nothing else; and secondly,
because it is better that such commun:ca.
tons should ap ear in some of the excel
lent journals published in North Carolina.
An English'pa says there has not
been more abundant crop than that
which now covers the earth, in the memory
of any living man. The potatoe, one of
the most nutricious, and perhaps the most
useful of all eaculents; is, so far, free from
blight, and appears to have everywhere
recovered much of its natural flavor.

copy the habits of those conventionally termed
their betters, it is impossible to entertain any
thing but pity. But to the ladies of England
