A correspondent of the philadelphia Inquirer,

At hall.psst eleven this morning, after the

She was ken 70 the Engineers Dock, and there
Inoored alongside of brig.
The movements Of the Burden attracted but
little attention. On the Whit were a corporal
aud Ak uen OF tue Third Pennsyvanis Artillery.
As the steamer neared the wharf the corporal
gave the command. Load at will-load, prime

A g1ng-plank was carried on the Burdens up

b, Lieutenant n iris. He shook Captain Spen-
Ger heartily by the hand and lifted his hat to

around 10 evident surprise at the slim attendance
of spectAtOrs; then walked towards the Corporal

lightly on the arm and signed to him 10 walk be-

q smile, Mitchell obeyed. The Corporal marched
his six men in double file behind the Lieutenant

Mitchell was sttirsd in full suit OF blue fan

Nrw Yonr MnLroSArRrs.-rhs richest three

NV YORK MnLIoNAIREs.-Ths richest three
of the New York millionsires are thus described ::
William B. Astor, worth about fifty millions,
owns about two thousand stores ana dwellings,
and has the reputation OF being good lad leni-
ent landlord. He Is a we'll preserved old gentle
man, on the cloudy side Of sixty; industrious,
reticent and punctdal. He seldom shows his face
at public altering, rarely makes himself con
spicuous in the newspapers, and seems to be de-
voted almost entirely TO tie task of taking care
Of his immense fortune. He is tall, straight,
spare, gray and grave.
A. 4. Stewart is reported TO be worth thirty
millions. Though an active business man, he
finds time q look after the interests of the city,
and he has made himself prominent in his patri-
otto endesVors to put down the rebellion. He is
q tall, thin man, OF nervous, sanguine tempeTa.
meut. He Ia about sixty years of age, quiet and
digniaed in his department, and chsritably dis.
posed when appeals reach him. In this city and
elsewhere many of the currents of charity are
damned at the desks of private secretaries.
Commodore Vanderbilt is a tall, white haired,
red checked, handsome old man Of seventy, and
fast. He drives fast horse sails fast boat,
and sometimes associates with fast men. He Is
worth at least twenty some say forty millions
He is very liberal to the governmt Mt, and gene
rous 10 the poor.

OF TIE BURNT

THE REBUILDING OF TIE BURNT DIsTRIcT-A
SECOND MEETING AT THE CAPIroL.-Another
meeting Of citizens interested in the rebuilding
OF the burnt district, was held in the Senate
Chamber at the Capitol last evening, in response
70 call from Mr.. j. A. Martin, who repeated his
rem Arks and suggestions made 10 O similar meet.
ing on Tuesday evening ht the same place re-
specting loans TO be obtained through his agency
at the North, to be devoted TO rebuilding the
burnt district.
He further said that the main object OF the
meeting was to report progress; als,, to receive
additional names with authorizations TO effect
loans on the terms he had proposed. He had
been gratiiied exceedingly, and encouraged by
the success he had met with, and the general
sympathy manifested, by citizens OF influence ana
officials high in Authority, with the object in
view. He syowed that il was not gain eXclu-
sively tina. brought him here. If Q subscriber
felt himself unable to pay him n single dollar
commissions, as God was his judge, hewould work
for him just as hard as though he paid him O
thousand.
Mr, Martin, in conclusion, said he had enrolled
on his books orders for loans 10 the amount OF
quarter of a million ofNdOllars, and he hoped the
sum would be increased by those in attendance.
But if he received not one dollar more, he would
feel that he had not worked in vain,
Mr.. J. p. Jones Introduced Mr.. Riyes, fellow.
citizen of Mr.. Martin and native of New Jersey,
considerat on. An opportunity was then afforded
parties TO confer with Mr.. Martin on the subject
Of loans, and the meeting dispersed.
Mr.. Martin lie ives the citS this morning by way
OF Char. ottesSlle, to look into the condition Of
the country, returning home by way of Alexan-
dria. Himself or agent will be in the city again
in short time. While in Washington he will
have an interview with President Johnson on the
subject OF the confscation Of property in the
south the uncertainty on which point, is st1g.
mating improvement enterprise in the Southern
States Lite in rebellion.
In regard to report Of the remarks OF Mr. Grubbs
at the meeting Tuesday evening, that gentleman
requests that portion IN which he
presented saying that the outrageous prices OF pro-
perry In Richmond was assigned by Northern men as
their reason for not purchasing property here What
be said intended 10 say, was that be thought pro-
perry was, IN some INSTANCES held too high, and that
rents HIGH but that the difficulty about titles
was the principal reason why property was not sold
aud improved more rapidly. Remove that difficulty,
he said and would soon see very different state OF
things. Further, his remarks about high prices ap.
piled only 10 property within the burnt district, and
there only 10 some occasional cases. IL IL well
known that property Is being offered and sold in this
city by the firm with which Ar. Grubbs Is associated
al what Is considered very low prices. We say this
much to obviate the possibility OF Misrepresentation Of
the condition OF the real estate market on tho part Of
both aud parties seeking TO become purchasers
