!. Trer1rT.E COMPENSATION.

FROM the Eureka Sentinel Of the 27th.l
VIRGINIA Crrx, Oct. u.s.
The greatest are that has ever visited this
city has just left the northern portion 81 'ne
town. from Taylor street almost to the Geiser
grade, In ashes. The IRE began ct daylight thus
morning in . private dwelling house on A street,
and in . very short time extended to O Stree,
destroying the county buildings. international
Hotel, and several other prominent buildings IN
it's course. Soon the whole business portion OF
G street. from the Odd Fellows building north
ward, was . mass of flames, with no adequate
means at hand for checking the fire. The office
of the Enterprise. the Evening Chronicle and the
Foot Lights, were totally destroyed. From q
street the IRE swept across to Piper's Opera
House and adjacent buildings on d street, when
it became apparent that. the railroad depot ana
the Consolidated Virginia were in great danger.
Blowing up intermediate houses was then re-
sorted to, but it was too late. The depot sue
cumbed, and in turn the hosting works Of the
Consolidated Virginia, together with the large
sixty.stamp mill and the stamp department OF
the new California mill. II was now hoped to
save .Ophir, and to hat end giant powder was
freely used, but as in the case OF the -Consplid-
ated Virginia, to no avail. The works Just COM
pleted. and the finest hosting works on the
Comstock, were totally destroye ed. Both the
Ophir and the Consolidated Virginia shafts
were bulkheaded SO that the fire was kept out OF
the mines. The Curry is safe, also the @. 4 G.
shaft. The Andes had q close call but escaped.
It is impossible to estimate the loss. Over
ten thousand people are homeless. The wind is
piercing, and God only knows what they will
do for shelter tonight. The fire is fully under
control at this time, and its limits are fairly de-
fined. Nearly every decent building in the city
has been destroyed.

Arrangements have been about COM
pletcd for holding District Camp Meet
ing, and from present prospects it is be-
licvcd that it will be the most success
full grove meeting ever held in the State.
We hear that the counties of Central and
Western Kansas will be largely rep-
resented at the meeting, which beng the
case there is no doubt but that the
gathering will result in great good. The
meeting is 10 be held at Riverside Park,
three miles north Of Salina, at the june
ton of the Saline river and Mulberry
creek and near the Iron briGgo which
spans the Saline river. The park is u
most delightful place and the committee

played in the selection of so suitable q
spot, and the locality itself will con-
tribute largely to the success Of the meet
ing. Those coming with teams will
find good water for their stock, adjoining
the grove. The camp meeting exercises
will commence on Thursday, August
10Th, at ii O'Clock A. NJ. Two good
wells are to be sunk upon the grounds,
and others will be furnished if needed.
Substantial and comfortable board tents,
10 by II feet, are to be built, and will
be rented to those who desire them, AT
s. each for the entire meeting. Orders for
these accommodations should be sent TO
Rec. Il. +. Hill, chairman of the COM
mittce of arrangements, by the 10Th OF
August. a good boarding tent under

board will be furnished at 30 cents per
meal, or sl.25 per day. At this tent,
also, parties can be supplied with what
ever provisions, confectionery, &c, they
may need. No other stands will be-
upon the grounds. In case Of storms
the boarding tent will be used for the
religious exercises ; but otherwise the OK
crciscs will be conducted entirely in the
grove. Several distinguished clergymen
from abroad have been invited to pariici-
pate in the meeting and arc expected
TO be present. All ministers in the dis

1t is believed that the extreme South
ern States, for the first time in their bis
tory, will, this year, produce surplus
of the small grains. 1t is said that Tex
as alone has I0,oO),OOO bushels surplus
Kentucky and Tennessee have also a
large surplus. This effects the milling
interest of ST. Louis. ST. Louis has pre-.
viously supplied the South with flour,
and now business in that direction is dull
Hence, our farmers need not be surprised
that the price of wheat is low, mas
much as we have depended largely on
st. Louis for market.

The following are the concluding
words Of an address of Mr.. Reyes to the
Republican Convention Of Wisconsin,
which will be heartily indorsed by the
true men of the country:
Upon the success of the Republican
party this year and in the centennial year
of 1876, depends, in 4 great degree, the
welfare of our country and the prospect
ty Of our people. The patriotism OF the
American people, which has so long sas,
tanned the Republican party in control OF
the national administration, will be
quickened into new life by the glorious
memories Of hundred years ago. The
spirit of '16 which gave the nation birth,
will be with us in '15 to protect its life,
and to place in the Presidential chair a
true representative of the party that
saved the Union.

1t is announced that the fast mail

via the Lake Shore route will commence
running about October LIST. 1t is ex-
pected that the time will be from twcn-
tyfour TO twentrsix hours, and that
thirty-fve 10 forty bushels Of matter
will be carried. Newspapers as well as
letters will be carried, and distribution
will be made while the train is in motion,
as it is now made in the regular postal
ears. The cost Of this rapid carriage
will be no greater than now. If rail-
roads keep on increasing their speed at
the present rate of progress, in five years
time we can take the cars at Saiina in

City the next evening. We firmly be-
lieve that it is possible that this rate of
speed may be attained.

failure, an army could he marched right

Those who knew General LEE understand
this in delicious sense. Butas much as we
admire it in the light Of the covert sarcasm 1t
contains, we confess to great admiration OF
that unlimited vanity which no. only broke
the force of such a sarcasm, but construed 1t
as conveying compliment to an uuequa'led

Again:
Among these is the Limitation Of the

within the purpose for which governments
are established. 1t cannot, therefore, be eX-

The Wicked" and the Truly Good
A contemporary print in growing city
INDUCES moral recreation in some refec.
tions on the New York smuggling business.
It censures with some sharpness the mer-
chant prince CLAFLN for buying silks at
prices that showed that they could not have
paid duties. 1t shoves him OF with BEECH.
ER's flock as one OF the goats, and turns to
the firms Of STEWART & Co., ARNOLD, Con.
STABLE g. Co., LORD & TAYLOR as "truly
good" for refusing to buy struggled goods.
A very nice little contrast for these sanity
firms, which they will find duly marked for
their observation by some too kind friend.
We know nothing about these people. But
in moral view,-a view few know how 10
take, and the taking which is very delicate
task-it is not very clear that the moralist
has decided right We find those who re-.
fused to buy Struggled goods pulled for it.
Is not that one way Of advertising? Did
they never do anything as bad as buying
struggled goods that had escaped the
Government officers and were floating
about in the market like ice In the
Northern sea, damaging the trade they
encouptered! We have heard of trick.
OF merchant princes that were even a
little worse than that. One little case wa.
the deliberate planning of scheme to break
and crush the honest and deserving trader
to get him out Of the way. There be many
forms in which this nefarious strategy has
been employed, and it has been en-
ployed by more than one merchant
prince. How does the smuggler who robs
