OUT TOWARD THE FAR WEST. "A cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Commercial,
of yesterday, details some of the incidents
of a trip into Kansas, april 81 1s1 miles
west of Missouri river. lie had stayed at
Lawrence, to see the sale of $4,000 acres of
the public domain bid off at auction-that
small amount of farm land having been do
mated. by the paternal Government, to aid
the Eastern Division Pacific railroad COM
pany in the prosecution oftheir great work.
The lands are comprised in the Delaware
aud Fox Indian Reservations, and are all
very valuable. The Delaware Reserve lies
almost wholly between two lines of rail-
road, and in respect to fertility of soil,
water. timber, and proximity to market,
is by far the best land in the State. The
Sac and Fox lands are more remote from
the lines of communication with the East,
not equally fertile, and were consequently
appraised and sold at a lower figure. The
bidding was very spirited, owing to the
presence of a great many strangers to pur-
chase and to speculate-and the land in no
instance failed to bring the appraised value,
while many of the choice sections went
considerably above the appraisal.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the road convened in Lawrence at the
same time.

Great Fire III lnl-
mense Loss.
Tie large rectifying establishment of
Foote. Nash q Co, at the corner of Pearl
and Kilgour sts., one square from the Little
Miami depot, was totally destroyed by fire,
yesterday morning. Several buildings adj
Joining and in the neighborhood, were
more or less injured.
The whole amount of damage sustained
by Messrs. Foote Il Co, as nearly as they
could come at it early yesterday, was esti-
mated by him at 100000, upon which there
was an insurance of SlI7,000, in thirty diff
ferent offices, in sums ranging from $4,000
up to $4,000.
The building was constructed andowned
by Samuel NJ. Murphy. at q cost of between
100000 and $4,000. The destruction was
so complete that but 4 few portions of the
walls were left standing, and these were
pulled down ut n late hour IN the afternoon.
The falling walls, and the fire, released
thousands Of gallons of spirits, and these
run down the alleys and streets, covered by
a volume of flame, which, but for the ex-
ertions of the fremen, would have carried
destruction to millions OF dollars worth OF
property adjoining. Perhaps no other fire
department in the world could have ar
rested the progress of the devOuring ele-
ment, as did theirs on this occasion.
The freight office of the Little MAN
Railroad Company, situated directly oppo'
site. on Kilgour street, was damaged to thu
extent of 81, 900. covered by insurance. TIL
west end ofthe building was mt one time il

DEMOCRATS MovING.-There will be a
Convention of the Jeflersonian Democracy
at Cincinnati tomorrow, 18th inst, and
many truly able and eloquent men from
different sections of the country are eX-
pected to be present, to interchange views
and hold consultation as to future action
We regret that our business engagements
are such as to prevent our being present
on the occasion. There is n great necessi'
ty for action on the part of the Westerl
Democracy, and there is nothing SO wei
calculated to inspire the American peopl'
with confidence, and give Il thorough un
%derstanding of the dangers that menace
as the holding of just such Conventions a
the one which assemblies in Cincinnati to
morrow, and the one to be holden at Louis
Vile on the 4th of July. Let us keep tn

A quantity of routine business was
| transacted during the afternoon, and the
discussion upon the subject OF domestic
missions was resumed by Rev. X. Nell
waine and Rev. DR.. Dabney; but the most
interesting of the closing exercises was the
ceremony of licensing Messrs. Iiitncr and
| Bailey, who have been repeatedly men
toned in our reports, to preach the Cos
pei. Mr.. Hitner is a Pennsy lvanian who
fought CALAMITY in the cause of the South
in the late war. Mr.. Bailey is a Nirglnlan
and resident Of Nelson county.
Presbytery adjourned at about hali-past
O'clock to meet at Orange Courthouse
on Thursday before the 9Th day of Novem-
Der, 1867.
Thus, after four days session, one OF
the leading iudicatories of the Presbytc-
rian Church in Virginia has drawn its de-
alterations to close. Many matters of in
tcrest TO the Church have been transacted,
and we have no doubt that the meeting has
been of no little benefit to the people who
have attended it. The kind hearted old
Nirginians who have so finely entertained
their presbyterial guests have demon
strated fully that there is yet much OF
hospitality in the dear old State.
Our reporter desires us to return his
own thanks to those who gave him SO cor
dial welcome, and treated him so hand
somely, although he was not member OF
that body, but "a stranger in strange
land" L.
SABBATH, April 2S.-Thc old Cove
church was crowded to-day by the an
nouucemcnt of religious services. Many
farmers. unable to attend the sessions of
Presbytery on account of the duties of the
week, turned ont on the Sabbath with
all their families, and spent the day
upon the ground. In the morning Rev.
Dr.. Dabney preached; and the Sacra-
mcnt of the Lords Supper was admins
tered in an impressive manner by Rev.
Mcssrs. Thompson and Beach. Aiter re-
cess, during which the congregation re-
tired to partake of a bountiiul repast spread
beneath the shade of the oaks, another SER
mon was delivered by Rev. DR.. Handy, of
Orange. The congregation were pro-
foundly attentive, and great seriousness
seemed to prevail, as the minister, in the
concluding words of his discourse, an-
uounced that the services, which had been
a source of so much pleasure and profit
to the people of the neighborhood, were
now brought to q close. L.
