THE CONFEDERATION IN PORT.
LAND--FURTHER PARTICULARS.
We wish that It could be said that oul
account last week of the immense conhag
ration in Portland was exaggerated, but Il
was too sadly true. Standing on Munjoy
Hill the only remaing building visible in tho
burnt district for space Of one and quar-.
ter miles IN length by breadth Of nearly a
half mile, is the Custom House building.
and that is ruined. The last census gave
the valuation Of the city at thirty millions
and the population at thirty thousand. Now
half Of that valuation is swept away and
half ofthat number Of population are with.
out shelter except as ''dwellen in tents
which have been provided by the Govern.
ment and by other charities. Not less than
fifteen hundred dwellings have been dc.
stroyed. But generous public have mag.
nifcently given Of their bounty. and tho
sufferers arc, under the sad circumstances,
as bountifillIy provided for as is possible to
he done. Boston has contributed, besides
an immense amount Of provisions fny
thousand dollars, Newbuypot, ten thou-
sand, and contributions are flowing In
from all quarters. All hail to so grand q
proof Of humanity and bro,herly love! It
is worth something for our love of the rnce
to behold this substantial sympathy for those
who nre houscless aud homeless.
