GENERAL-Iu reply to your telegraphic despatch,l
received this morning, directing me to make full
report OF the meteOric phenomena attending tha
recent great fire. would respectfully say that the
wind at this station during the progress OF the r0
varied from north-northwest to north, with .
velocity Of from five to nine miles per hour,
weather being clear, cool and pleasant. On
approaching the fire on the north or wind
ward side, as close as the heat would allow,
the indraught Of air through the burning streets
assumed the character Of brisk wind, probably
sixteen or eighteen miles per hour, while the heat
was SO intense as to cause smoke, steam &C., to-
be carried up in spirals to great elevation On
the south or lee side the induced currents Of air
were very strong, probably thirty or thirty-1ve
miles per hour, carrying the fire bodily to wind
ward. This state OF affairs appears 60 be the re-
OF the Chicgo fire, where the strength Of the
wind was sufficient to overcome the induced cur
rents and the nre burned to leeward. 1t appears
II the high wind permitted the indraught to rise
at . considerable angle after reaching the fire,
leaving large space OF highly rariied air In its
'front.' inducing stronger currents to now In, which,
meeting the indraught, gave the spiral or whirl-
wind form to the ascending current.
During the fire nock OF ducks passed at great
height overhead, and the light reflected from their
plumage made them appear as fire balls passing
rapidly through the air. Many who saw them
called them meteors, and Ikened them to the balls

DEATH OF JUDGE STEPHENS.

Judge Linton Stephens, a brother of AL
exander H. Stephens, died at sparta, Ga,
m Sunday after very brief illness. He
was a prominent man in his State, noted
Or the vigorous manner in which he eX-
pressed his conyictions on the political
questions of the day. He resided at
Charlottesville in that State, where his re-
mains were inferred. The Atlanta Sun
speaking of his relations to his brother
says: H-E. EfE
Never did more tender relations exist between
two brothers than did between these Their
souls wero knit together in the very strongest
possible bonds of affection For many, many
years they have been corresponding with each
other daily, as sacred duty-a labor of the truest
love-an expression of the depth of their at
tachment to each other which none but those
similarly situated can appreciate.

THE eyes of the whole country are now
directed to the pending contest for State
offices in North Corolina. Both political
parties are in the field in their full
strength. Not only are the local politi-
clans actively engaged in the canvass, but
gentlemen from other States are also en-
gagged. Senator Wilson and Secretaries
Boutwell, and Delano are there in the ia
terest of the Republican party. Senators
Doolittle and Upton, and other prominent
Democrats are taking part in the canvass.
If rumor may be relied upon, both sides
are spending money profusely, and moth
ing will be left undone that will bring
about success. The election comes off on
the first day of August.

EX-REBELS, READ THIS !

1t is characteristic of brave men to forget
their own personal injuries, and to forgive
those who have wronged them. Looking
at the matter in this light alone, we can
understand how ex-rebel soldiers may go
for Greeley. But it is also characteristic of
brave men to resent to the bitter end an
insult of any character that may be offered
to wife, a mother, or to an inofensive
child. From this standpoint we can not
see how ex-rebels are to forget that remark
able utterance of Greeley, saying "aO1tera
"the rebelLious traitors are Overwhelmed
"i,1 the field and scattered like leaves before
Ian angry tUiad, 1t must not be to return, to
"peacefM and conte,ated homes They
'nauSt find poverty ct their .freSideS, and
see ioriUation IN the anxious eyes Of moth
'ers and the rags Of children"
Who ever heard of General Grant want
upon their old mothers, or to see their in
offensive children clothed in rags as a con-
sequence of the fathers mistakes ? He has
never been guilty of such cruelty. He
directed government vessels to furnish free
transportation to self-exiled rebels in Bra
zil, who desired to return to the homes of
their childhood, and once more claim pro-
lection from the flag of their native
country. What contrast The one
orgives and invites the rebel to re-
5urn. The other says they ''nlust not
return to peaceful and cor,tented homes.
They must find poverty at their fresides,

nan who wanted their misery and rags to
e your punishment, and then as honest
nen, respecting mothers and children, an
wer in your own hearts, if you can sup

sentiment. We do not believe that you

will not if you stop to think.

SOME of the enthusiastic Greeley orators
on Saturday evening were indignant at
General Grant on account of his alleged
nepotism. They forget that our Demo-
cratic Supreme Court, when it first came
upon the bench, buried every clerk out of
office, and put relatives of the Judge in.
We did not object to it, and do not now, as
they make good clerks, so far as we know,
but if it is wrong in General Grant to ap-
point few of his relatives to office, it is
equally wrong for the Democratic Supreme
Court to do so. Oh, We hypocrites
