THE Russian Grand Duke, third son
of the Czar, is daily expected in New
York. OF course the snobs and funk
eys are all excitement and will do the
highest possible honols. Were Gen.
WASHINGTON to rise from the dead
and appear in the streets of New York,
greater honors would not be shown
him. Tho plain truth is, that despite
all the Republican pretensions of the
American people, there are none on the
face of the earth who love more to pay
homage to royalty than those of our
great cities. When the Prince of Wales
visited Harrisburg, the Duke of New
castle, who had him in charge, (the lat
ter by the way true specimen of the
rollicking, registering Engishman) look
ing over the immense sea Of upturned
faces before him, quietly remarked /:
"these people are not so Democratic as
they pretend to bet" The fact is, the
crowds who assemble on such occasions
always provoke the sneeIs and contempt
of the royal objects Of their homage.

European Republicanism.

While thoughtful minds in this coun-
try are contemplating the Republican
agitation in England, and are speculat-
ing upon the chances of a Republic in
that old stronghold of monarchy, the
painful reflection arises that even with
in the ranks of the friends of Repub.
licanism over sea flourishes the greatest
obstacle to the happy consummation of
this political regeneration. The Repub-
lican band of England-like the Com
mune of France, and the Republicans
of Europe everywhere-is led by blat-
ant infidels, who, with their defiant in
fidelity, cast baleful shadow upon the
hopes of freedom. Bradlaugh, who
processes to be the head of the English
Republicans, while asserting that in
five years he will be President of the
Republic of Great Britain, blasphem-
ously declares that "the work of over
throwing God, as well as all earthly
tyrants, goes bravely on" This speech
is not worse than many others of the
written and spoken opinions of Brad
laugh and his followers 1t is to be
feared that no movement having for its
purpose the establishment of a govern
ment of the people-not government
of classes, as in FRANCISCAN ever sue
ceed anywhere in Europe SO long as
such blasphemous creatures as this man
taint the effort at Republicanism with
the stigma of his name and influence.
Call the roll of the professed Republi-
cans of Europe, and against the names
of the chief among them may be writ
ten freethinker, if not absolute infidel.
1t is the example OF these men, and
the horror that is inspired by their doc
trinea, that retard the cause of Republi-
canism in Europe Washington Pa

OCT. 10th.
The wind is still higher than ever
this morning. After dreary night the
men come in worn out and say the fire
is sweeping everything. People are
packing up to leave the city, but know
of no refuge. All excitement here this
morning. Notice is given to have no
fires to cook breakfast this morning.
All hands start again to meet the
flames. Darkness is appearing. can
not see the lines to write; l wonder
what is the cause, what can be the dan.
ger. Now all is dark I'll have to stop
writing to see what is the trouble. o,
shocking! the conflagration is at an
end A dark cloud overshadows us,
bursts forth in torrents OF rain, just in
time to save us from the burning flame
o, what rejoicing now! What strange
cloud! No one saw it till the rain fell
upon them. Darkness was all that ap-
peared! But who knows whether this
extended further than to save our people
in this place? There, it is all over, only
little shower how long will that keep
the fire from running? The news comes
in that the plank roads and the railroads
| are all on fire, no trains running from
Detroit, north ; the engines carrying
water to keep the fire from burning the
road all up! If they succeed, I'll send
| this tomorrow morning. l think we
are all out of danger now, unless sec.
ond attack is made. 1t can't be till n
few days, as the rain has dampened the
brush so as to give people a chance to
take advantage of the fire. The damage
cannot be estimated; it will amount to
several million dollars and some lives
in this county, and it is still worse, they
say, elsewhere. All is quiet here now.
l think the danger is over. The old
settlers here say they never knew so dry
a time in this country, nor never wit
messed such scene before, nor perhaps
never will again.
1t is very rich farming country here,
besides the great abundance of lumber
shipped away every year, and the salt,
which costs them nothing but little
labor, as the sawdust serves as fuel to
raise the brine and manufacture it into
salt. Little villages that were blessed
with four or five little cabins four years
ago, have two thousand inhabitants
now. Taking the whole of Saganaw, Ii
years ago it was wilderness, they say,
and now it has population of nearly
thirty thousand. Bay City, just started
few years since, has about 5000, with
its suberbs. Tuscola county is the land
of beauty, flowing with cheese and po
tato bugs. One year ago, when came
here, they were digging their potatoes
and the average was about three hun
dred bushels to the acre. This fall they
are very scarce, but the animals are
plenty. The wheat crop this season
averages about thirty bushels to the
acre. Other crops are middling.
My regards to the friends of Blooms
burg and vicinity.
Respectfully yours,

FIRE.-We learn that the Unangst
Hotel, in Fishing Creek valley, about
miles above Orangeville, was entirely
consumed by fire, with all its contents,
on Tuesday night last. Mr.. UNANGsT
and family were absent at the time and
there was no one in the house. There
was some insurance, we understand, but
have not learned how much.
There is little doubt but that the
house was first robbed and then set on
fire. A coal oil can, which had been
kept in the bar and when last used had
about one gallon of oil in it, was found
empty near the house after the fire. A
trunk belonging to Mr.. UNANGsT was
found broken open in the rear of shed,
in cOrnfield, where it had no doubt
been carried by the thief and incendi-
ary. The Forks Post Office was kept in
the house, but it is not supposed there
was much mail matter burnt.

Fires In the West.

The terrible fires in tho west were
still progressing at latest advices. For
hundreds OF miles the prairies are GOV.
cred with flames, destroying everything
in their way-buildings, goods, fences,
cattle, implements and everything that
the settlers possess, and many Tires too
OF course nothing but heavy rains can
stop the devastation. The following
description is from gentleman known
In this county, who is now resident in
the west.
WATRoUsvILLE, Mich,
Oct. 9th, 1871.
Editor of the Columban:
My thoughts glancing back to my
native county, methinks the people OF
Columbia CO., Pa, are not all aware of
the perilous condition of the people of
this country at present. / will try to
give you few facts, and be as brief as
possible under the excitem ent that pre-.
walls all around here just now on ac.
count of fire caused by the general
drouth. The fires have been running
through the woods all of the time for a
number of months, but not so danger
Gus till lately. The last few days the
winds have been high and the fires
have been running at fearful rate,
sweeping everything. Hundreds of
houses have been burned to the ground
in few miles square, and the inhabi.
tants could do nothing but escape for
their lives. Some have fought till they
are entirely blind to save their build.
ings, but failed. The whole of the Sag.
anaw valley is enveloped in smoke, and
the entire wilderness in a flame of fire.
The fire broke out in Saganaw City last
night, burning buildings, and several
persons nearly burned to death by try
ing TO escape through the flames. East
Saganaw and South Saginaw being on
fire at tho same time. In Wisconsin
the people dig holes in the ground and
bury their furniture and provisions, in
order to save them from burning. Here
they get no time for that-it is all they
can do to dig hole for themselves.
The fires are becoming more dangerous
around this city this evening. All hands
out to keep the fire back from the build.
ing-every one in fear lest a spark be
blown to our town and ignite. If that
be the case every building will burn,
for there is no water to put out even a
spark without bringing it eight miles,
and it is scarce when you get there. 1t
would be impossible to get to it now,
on account of the fire. Night comes on;
the eyes of the inhabitants are bathed in
tears and the village in a condensed
cloud of smoke. I drop the pen for the
evening. 1t is in vain to try to picture
to you the state of things this evening,
on account Of the cries and groans and
excitement going on at the time.
