gion can be thoroughly penetrated,
SO as to bury the dead and succor
the living. A
The number who have persisted
is not yet definitely asccrtained, but
enough is known to place first re-
ports far in the back ground. At
Peshtigo village over one hundred
were either burned to death or
drowned in the river in their efforts
to escape the fl ,mcs. The "Sugar
Bush" is divided into what is known
as the Upper, Middle and Lower
Bush. From what we can learn,
and by cleaning our information
from all possible sources, we ere
quite certain that over sixty were
burned to death i'll the Upper Bush,
about sevcnty-fve in the Middle,
and fully one hundred and twenty
in the Lower Bush, miscrably, ter
ribly persisted.
Hundreds are MANNED and help
ss,many of them rendered cripplcs
for life. Thus, in one short hour,
whole townships were devastated
by the fire iiend, nearly four hun
dred human beings were hurled in
to eternity by one Of the most awful
visitationS ever known in the history
of the world, and the wretchcd sur
viv"rs left with nothing to subsist
on but such supplies us are and may
be contributed by the charities of
the people. To the dcspairing
cries for help, the people, having
their sympathics fully aroused, have
and are responding nobly.
The whole country is scene Of
devastation and ruin that no lam
guage can paint or tongue describe.
There is only one farm of any
note in the entire bush that has cs-
capped. This is the fine farm Of Mr..
Abram Place, in the upper bush.
He, having an immense clearing,
and protected by roads, was enabled
to save his house, barn, and nearly
all of his stock and supplies. His
house has been an asylum for the
suffering ones Of that region, and
he has rendered them all the assist
ance in his power.
AT Peshtigo and in the Sugar
Bush all the cattle, sheep, swine and
poultry are destroyed. Miles of
country, where but few days ago
existed pleasant farms and an abund-
ance of the necessaries of life, now
lie devastated with not living
thing left.
Crowds of people, with teams and
supplies, have gone to-day t" gather
such Of the remains Of the dead as
can be found to pay the last sad
tribute to their memory, and per-
chance succor the few who may yet
be living, but to whom no aid has
yet arrived.

Another object was also kept In view IN

crease the value Of real estate at Long Branch

dence during the summer Tho correspon
dent OF the Chicago Times also afIlrms that
cottage worth twenty thousand dollars
was likewise given by the same party 10 Gen
HORACE PORTER, the most prominen. mem.
Der of the military court which, in violation
Of law, the President retains about his per
son.
OF course we have no means of ascertain.
ing whether all the statements which we
have quoted nre accurate, though there is no
doubt whatever that the cottage at Long
Branch was O present to Gen GRANT, and
that it was given with view of obtaining
from him in is official capacity as President
some valuable thing. At any rate the sub
jcct is Of such serious nature, and tho
statements in the Chicago Times so expressly
accuse the President of the grosscst form of
bribery and corruption. that one of the first
acts of the House of Rcprcs ntatives on its
meeting In December should be the ap.
pointment of suitable committee to inves.
tiaate this matter, and to ascertain whether
the statements made by this correspondent,
and those Of similar purport made previously
upon the subject by the Hudson Gdzsttc and
the Buffalo Courier, are founded in fact or not.
II they should provo to be founded in fact,
1t will not be possible to avoid the impeach.
mcnt Of Gen. GRANT and his removal from
office. No moro otrocious acts of Official
misicmeonor have ever been charr>, against
any public officer than tldso set firth IN
these allegations In the case of President
