The wisconsin Connagration.

A correspondent Of the Milwaukee
Wisconsin, who has travelled through
the burnt region in Wisconsin, places
the number Of lives sacrificed at seven
hundred and fifty. The loss of prop
erty is estimated as follows:
"a medium estimate OF damage to
pine lands in the Green Bay region is
100000. The damages on the Wolf
is figured at 100000. There is abund,
ance of hard wood left in places. The
damage to individuals may amount to
100000. The loss Of fifteen saw-mills
is put at $225,000. The loss OF cord
wood, ties, helnlock bark, &c, is set at
100000. The losses of fences. build
ings, wagons, cattle, crops, among the
six hundred farmers, cannot be less
than $500, 900, making total aggregate
of more than 100000, aside from
those at Peshtigo."
There are three hundred or more
wounded sufferers remaining in hotels,
clearinghouse, and hospitals about
the bay. Burned ears, faces, hands,
and feet are common to nearly all
Many in rooms can hardly stir in bed.
There are women with great burns on
the sides and limbs, with faces like
kettles and hands like claws, burned to
the bones. Men could fight better and
dare more than women. Most Of them
persisted by suffocation. Little child.
rem are sadly manned in their feet and
faces. Nearly all will recover without
loss of sight or limb.

An Incident in the Life OF General

An incident In the Lie Oh Oener6i
Lee.
From the Montgomery Advertised
Editor Advertiser:
Reading General Imboden's remin.
iscences OF Lee and Jackson in the last
number of the GALAXY reminds me o.
an incident in the life OF General Lee
which has not yet found its way into
print, although it is well worthy oil
record.
One morning in February, 1865
shortly after the battle Of Hatcher's
run, General Lee, accompanied, as was
often his habit, by single courier, rode
up to the headquarters OF General Cor
don, who at that time commanded the
Confederate right, and requested that
officer to 90 with him to look at some
earthworks then being thrown up near
Burgess mill, on the Boydton plank
road.
The writer, with several other staff
officers, accompanied General Lee and
Gordon, riding out Of earshot, and
some distance behind them. The two
Generals arrived at Burgess miles some
what in advance OF us, and as we rode
up, were engaged in earnest converse,
ton, in relation to portion OF the
breastworks which had been very in
iudiciously located. Just as we came
up General Lee, who had been so in
tent on the examination OF the work,
that he seemed to be unaware that our
party could hear him, remarked to Gen.
Gordon, "The engineers appear to have
staked off this part Of the line very
badly" when on looking up and per-
celving us, he added, in louder tone,
but l reckon the engineers know their
business better than we dc"
The engineer who had general super
vision of the line was an officer OF high
rank and great skill, and the mistake
was that ofone of his subordinates.
General Lee evidently made his last
remark for us, in order to do away
with any injustice to the officer. and TO
exclude from our minds the idea that
he intended to censure superior officer
in the presence ofhis Juniors. Although
he must have known, as we knew that
he was recognized as the greatest Of
living engineers, he did not hesitate, in
order to shield his subordinate from the
disparagement which might have arisen
from a remark not intended to be heard
by us to use the strong language that
"the engineers knew their business bet
ter than we do" This is but one OF
the hundreds OF little incidents which
might be collected, showing his in
variable care and thoughtfulness, even
in the smallest matters for the feelings
of his unhesitating assumption, Of all
blame, if he thought that the truth il
known might impair their usefulness,
or unnecessarily wound the military
pride of any officer under his command.

ANOTHER loyal ex-Congressman
from Tennessee is in trouble. 1t seems
that all the Radical congressman from
that State get into trouble. This time
it is Mr. PRosSER. Mr. PROssER got up

and his Radical colleagues passed them.
Mr. PRosSEr shared iiy proceeds, in

Prize Ring Talk.

From the New Orleans Times, November A.
The eventful month having arrived,
upon the last day of which the two
great pugilistic champions of the time
are to arbitrate their respective merits
in the roped arena, excitement among
the patrons OF the manly" exhibits
more intensely than it did a week ago.
Visits to Coburn at his training
quarters are more frequent, and the
process of training is becoming a
prominent topic Of conversation with all
people who are the least dyspeptic or
pulmonically affected.
Within the past few days Joe has
ceased idling, and has got seriously to
work, discharging his old trainer, Patsy
Dwyer, who has returned to BROOKLYN,
and engaged the services of Tom Meal
pin, famous Western pug of some ex.
perience, who keeps him hard at it..
Tom is a plcasant-faced fellow, with a
revolving one eye, who has been pound.
ing his way to pugilistic prominence
over the Rocky Mountains for nine
years or more. lie is a staying fighter,
who believes in work, and has already
made fairrecord Among the victims
ofhis proves is Barney Harris, defeat.
ed at Virginia City in 1868, George
Barnes, defeated in Idaho City in 1868,
and Jack Lynch, defeated at Sacrament
to in 1866. In the same year he defeat,
ed Johnny Dean, the "Chicken," at
San Francisco, in los rounds, and also
fought Andy McElroy to draw in los
rounds. In 1868 he beat John Mackev
in twenty eight rounds, at Detroit, and
Fred Buzzy in seventy.fve rounds, and
fought draw with Mulligan in ninety
one rounds. He appears to understand
his business, and no doubt will groom
Joe to perfection.
Since our last visit to Joe he has
greatly improved in appearance, though
his flesh still looks soft and his face TOO
full. The ruddiness perfect health is
fast creeping into it, however, and under
the influence Of regular hours his eve is
as clear as an eagles. He still pulls
down $50 pounds, and his trainer now
thinks he will fight at 10 pounds or
Whereabouts. His regimen and exercise
is the same routine. He rises at six
o'clock A. NJ, then walks four miles up
the river bank, then, after q frugal
breakfast comes another tramp over
the same ground Of twelve miles. In
the latter he walks with brisk swing
ing stride, generally accompanied by
Tom. McAlpin, his trainer. On his
return about noon, he is as carefully and
thoroughly rubbed down az a race horse
after a heat, and then comes q plain
dinner, from which vegetables and all
succulent matter are excluded. One
hour is then devoted 10 rest by way Of
assisting digestion; then one hour of
exercise with the Indian clubs and a
horizontal bar erected in the garden
pavilion. These are the only tools"
Coburn uses, and he speaks with SUI
preme disgust OF the sandbags and par
aphernalia in use with other professors
OF the manly, as played out" Another
short walk of four or five miles, then
supper and bed at nine o'clock, ends
one and every other Of his pleasant
days. His trainer promises to have him
drawn as fine as silk, Invested OF all SUI
perfuous flesh in ten days work. He
is in fine spirits and exceedingly conf
dent of getting away with Mace easily.

The Alleged Election Frauds I'm New
York.

Every year we have heard, after cleo,
ton, of 10000 fraudulent votes cast in
New York city, and every year the
charge has been that these fraudulent
10000 votes carried the State" But
the late election, at which the proper
ton OF fraudulent votes cast was con-
fessedly small, showed larger number
of votes polled than ever. The Journal
of Commerce says that its "owu opinion
has ever been that the 10000 was an
exaggeration, and that the reason the
ring used to triumph was because the
honest men stayed at home. When
they turned out, it says, and laid mis-
cradle partisan prejudiees aside to
redeem the city, the redemption OF the
city from misrule was secured, or,
rather a beginning made that way.

What Dyspepsia may End In.

Indigestion is not dangerous, say the fac
ulty. Perhaps not in itself, while ii remains
mere indigestion; but look at the conse-
does lead when ii becomes q chronic dis
ease. 4 spark of fire is a small thing. A
pressure of the foot will put ii out; a breath
will extInguish it. Yet 1t may fire a pow
der mill, or kindle n flame that will con-
sumo city. In like manner indigestion
may produce gastritiS, cancer OF the Stom-
ach, congestion of the bowels, apOplexy,
liver disease, and many other dangerous
maladies. Is 1t not wise, then, TO check ii
in the germ? Nothing is more clearly and
indisputably established than that Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters will eradicate dySpep-
STA in all its stages. The true policy, how
ever, is TO extinguish ii in the first stages
with this wholesome, powerful, and infalli-
BILE tonic and Alternative. II is easier 10 Qunch
a spark than flame, and il is easier to cure
dyspepsia when it is first developed, than
when it has made headway by neglect, and
become complicated with other ailments
There is not the shadow of a doubt that tho
bitters are as directly antagOniStic to dys-
pepsia as water is to fire. There are thouS-
ands OF cases on record proving this fact.
The remedy is safe and agreeable. All the
LIQUORS of commerce prescribed as stimu-
lants, leave sting behind. But the sting
is taken out of the spirituOus basis OF this
great remedy by vegetable medication, and,
moreover, the stimulant thus medicated Is
OF exceptional purity. OF all tonics taken
as safeguards or remedies for fever and
ague, bilious remittentS, and other fall. cpl
