evacuation by the Confederate army Of Yir-
ginia and transformation into city OF the
United States, has given many good proofs
OF wish to regain its tobacco trade and
build anew the Industries rebellion over
threw, now wishes to compete with Phila-
delphia as the site for iron ship-yards, and
has outlined grand scheme, wanting only
money, machinery, mechanics, models, and
orders The ambition is discreet. The
great Trcdegar Works OF ante bellum times
showed the quality of Virginia ores and
coal, and the possibility OF securing skilled

we have the priority Of this employment on
the Delaware. and can retain the advantages
we enjoy, there. is no other city which can
do more in building iron-ships than Rich

THE PROFESSORS IN THE PAN-PREsBYTE-
RIAS CoUSClL.-Searlya ALT the New York men
have a cosmopolitan air about them and q
popular style OF oratory, and the same may
be said Of Or. Eels, OF California; but some
others among the American delegation
have the air OF men who live among books,
and arc better acquainted with the old Re-
formers than with the men they meet on the
street. or these some are eloquent, like DR..
Hoge, of Richmond; but others, like DR..
Hodge and DR.. Moore, OF Columbus, while
very learned and interesting, have the dry
professional manner. A Scotch professor
told the story that when he was setting out
for the Council an elder Of neighborlng
town wanted him to send them good

one the elder said, "It's no use sending

Destruction OF lives and Property IA,
Wisconsin.

GREEN BAY, Wis, August For many
weeks past this section OF outlying country
has been subjected to q severe drought,
which has caused much apprehension in the
minds OF the residents, as forest and prairie
fires have prevailed almost necessarily. The
conflagrations. which have destroyed n
great deal OF valuable timber, reached
their height in whirlwind flame few
miles east OF this place. Township OF
Eaton, which is thlckly settled with farm
ing community, was cleanly swept by
the destructive element. which consumed
all its houses, out-buldinSs, fences, and
timlers In the vicinity OF Woodruff's
mills, during the pastfwo weeks, the forests
have been burning with great severity,
threatening the adjoining settlements. On
Saturday night snail hurricane urged the
flames with lightnng-like rapidity, and
brands from the fiery stretches were thrown
broadcast by the sweeping winds. On Sum
day morning there was no abatement OF the
flames. but the wind had moderated. The
flames sprung up again, however, and all
efforts to stay them were unavaiing. or
what in the morning had been a thriving
town before many hours had passed there
were no more than three houses left stand
ing. Women and children barely escaped
with the clothes they had on.
1t is reported very circumstantially that
two entire families were DESTROYED by fire
and three others arc missing. There was a
settlement OF seventeen houses in what is
known as Bcniamin's," and there is not
one OF them left. All the cattle are freed
from their confines, and are roaming
through the fields, wild with terror, and are
sure OF destruction il they take shelter in
the woods near ut hand. Hundreds OF dead
bodies lie scattered around. Large parties
OF men from this city have gone TO the place,
and as soon rs they can return something
will be done TO relieve the suffering, strick-
en- people for the present. Many sufferers
are sheltered IN the county poor-housc.

The british Grain Market.

\ review Of the British wheat trade re-
ports that harvesting has commenced in
some Of the southern districts Of England,
and it is believed to have so far advanced
that nothing short Of disastrous change i'll
weather. which is not likely, can affect the
yield to any serious extent. The estimate
now is that while the crop will be short OF
an average it will not be Sc" disappointing
as that OF last year. The prevailing fine wea-
Their Of tue past week, and the quietude OF
the political situation, rs far rs England is
concerned. has considerably depressed the
wheat market. Great expectations appear
to have been formed in regard to the new
wheat crop Of America, and it is said that
unless the reports are exaggerated both In
dia and Russia will find her formidable
rival. The crop in France, it is stated, will
be enough for her own wants, but there will
be but little for expectation. Both Germany
and Russia have promise OF abundant wheat
crops. The decline on, both English and
foreign wheat during the week was one
shilling per quarter. Corn has kept steady,
with the late advance in barley IN aintained.
