The Cabinet in Session Last Evening for
Two Hours Considering the Situation.
Troops to be Sent to Philadelphia and
Other Points.
II the Riot is not Sup Fessed Soon the
Government will Resort to Extra
ordinary Measures.
Influence of Public Opinion Expected to
Check Further Destruction of
Life and Property.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Two bate
ries of artillery, belonging to the First
and Third regiments, arrived here this
morning from Fort Monroe, and are
quartered at the arsenal.
Secretaries Thompson and MCrary
were in consultation at the War Depart
ment for some time during the morning
1t can be said that the government
authorities do not fear any demonstra-
tons against government property in
this locality.
The order for the Powbattan and
Swatara to come to Washington has
been revoked and they have been ordered
to Baltimore, where they will
arrive this evening or tomorrow morn
ng. They have on board five hundred
and sixty men fully equipped. The gov
eminent has taken steps for the prOtec-
tion of the srsenals at PittsbuTg and In
dianapolis by ordering United States
troops there. Those for Pittsburg have
been ordered from Columbus, Ohio, and
those for indianapolis from st. Louis. 1t
is reported In army circles that General
Sheridan has been ordered to Pitts
burg, taking with him troops to operate
in that city and vicinity. A cabinet
consultation of two hours duration was
held at the Office of the secretary of state
this evening. Numerous dispatches, Of
fficial and private, relative to the riots,
were read, the members severally express
sing their views on the situation. Adju-
tant- General Townsend was sent for and
questioned as to the number of available
troops, tho object being to distribute
them at such POINTS as may be necessary
to guard the public property, the navy
to assist wherever practicable. Should
the riot not be soon suppressed the gov
eminent may resort to extraordinary
measures. With that view the secretary
of the navy has given orders assigning the
available force of officers and marines IN
der his control to the arsenals and other
public buildings in the various sections
for the protection of public property, and
thew are being moved as rapidly as pos
sible from points where they can be
spared.
In response to numerous kilograms
received from the disturbed districts
in Pennsylvania, and from various Off
Gals. there was an informal con-
sultation at the executive mansion
this morning, and another at the
residence of Secretary Evarts. 1t was
decided to place troops at once in Phila-
deIphia. which will be under the COM
mand of General Hancock, to protect the
government property and preserve the
peace. Mayor Stokely was telegraphed
to that effect, and also that when a proper
call is made BY Gov. Hartranft, a prscla-
nation will be issued, as in the case of
West Virginia and Maryland. The ad

The Great Wall of China.

Kalgan commands one of the passes
through the great wall of China. 1t is
there built of large stone, cemented tC-
getherT with mortar. 1t tapers toward the
top, being twenty-one feet high and
twenty eight feet wide at the foundation.
Al the most important points, less than
mile apart, square towers are erected,
Dulit OF bricks. 1t winds over the crest
OF the mountains, crossing the valleys at
night angels, blocking them with fortifi
cations. The Chinese estimate its length
to be about $500 miles, but in psTts
more remote from Pekin the wall is of
interior construction. There is nothing
but a dilapidated mud rampant. as Col
onel Prejevalsky saw it on the borders of
Aia-shan and Kansu. 1t is said to have
been built upward of two centuries before
Christ to protect the empire against the
lnroads of the neighboring Nomads bpt

were never checked by this artificial bar

Mansfield inquired into and became famil.
lar with all the details of construction and
operation Of railways. lie made some inn
portant improvements in tho running gear
of railway cars which he tested on his own
road, Many prominent men Interested in
railway enterprises saw the working of
this little railway, became warmly inter-
ested in the narrow gauge, and advised
and encouraged farther efforts TO make il
Impractical utility. Many public meetings
were held in different places aud he was
called upon to explain his style of railway.
So much encouragement was given that
several meetings were held In the town of
Billerica for the purpose of securing action
TO obtain charter for two foot narrow
gauge railroad, and application was made
TO the legislature for a special act, which
was not obtained without considerable OPP
position from interested parties. On the
9th of April, 1876, the Governor of the Slate
signed bill which had passed both houses,
empowering the association TO construct a
two'foot narrow-gauge railroad from North
Billerica 10 Bedford, not New Bedford rs
the types had it in last weeks paper. AT
meeting in Billerica, May 10Th, 1876,
president and secretary, with scventy-ive
associates were chosen, in accordance with
the legislative enactment. At subsequent
meeting of the association, held at the same
place, George Il. Mansfield was appointed
general manager for the construction of the
road, and at once entered upon his duties.
With the aid OF competent engineers lines
were surveyed and the eastern line" Sc
lected by the protector of the road, was
unanimously adopted by the Association.
The ceremony Of breaking ground for the
first two foot narrow gauge railway in this
country, took place at South Bilerica, Sept
9th, the Centennial year. About five hun
dred people were present. Addresses were
made on the occasion by Gov. Thomas Tai
bot, w. w. Warren, Esq, Hon. George p.

ELLINGTON, Iowa, Sept. 9th, 1877.

II seems but a day sinco my letter was
written at seedtime, but now the harvest is
done. The fields of waving grain have all
disappeared, and In their place mammoth
stacks have risen on every hand. The
beautiful promises of the springtime have
all been fulfilled. A better season for the
wheat crop was never known in this Sec
ton. The weather has been beautiful aud
the heavy crops Of grain are all secured,
without damage from rain or any other
cause. Some threshng has been done in
this vicinity and the grain turns out splen-
didly. Oats are very nice. We have re-
ports of wheat from 10 to 40 bushels 10 the
acre. But few pieces yield less than Is
bushels, while many acres go over thirty
bushels. We are told that they never get a
good crop of wheat aud a good crop of corn
in the same season, but this bids fair TO be
an exception. The weather has been dry
since July LIST, and corn has suffered con-
sderably in some localities, but Is, as a
rule, looking finely. If the frosts do not
come too early the crop will be good. We
have had 10 frost yet and do not wish 10
see any for a month. Hope again gladdens
the hearts of the farmers. Their one great
cause Of dependency has been removed,
the grasshoppers have left us all unframed.
A good many patched here, but not enough
to do any damage. They commenced fly
ing from the north in June, going towards
tue southeast, aud for over two months, ev-
Rpa nav xNbnn tba xviun qniIp1 thnu
the air was full of them. Many of them
dropped down here, but none saw tit TO stay
with us, for which we are truly thankful.
We have no more fear of them, and unless
some unforeseen circumstance prevents, the
prosperity Of this county will steadily adj
vance. We hope within the next twelve
months TO see more of these vacant lands
occupied by good, steady Eastern men and
their families. 1 will say for the benefit OF
any who may have an idea of "going west"
we have no fever and ague here. None
have it unless they bring 1t with them, and
then 1t soon leaves them. The price of
wheat has been low thus far, but is adyanc-
ing. Business is getting more lively. Our
merchants, owing TO the hard times and
fear of hoppers, have dragged through the
past year with small stock of goods, but
they are now charging their rooms and
bringing in fine stock for the fall and win
ter trade, and everything begins TO wear a
cheerful look. 1t Is TO be hoped that the
great depression that has rested upon all
branches of business will soon be removed
aud cheerfulness and prosperity be spread
through our whole country.
Yours truly, Il. NC.

Mr.. MooDYs Co-woRKERs.-Th Rut-
land Herald has the following in regard TO
the men who will assist Mr.. Moody in his
work In Vermont:
"Maj. Whiltlo is from Chicago, was an
officer in the Union army during the war,
and has shown great power in tho work 10
which he has given himself for a few years
past. He is most genial man, of strong
magnetic force, a good speaker of more log
ical and argumentative tendency than Mr..
Moody. His methods and measures in this
revival work are the same as those of Mr..
Moody, which consist of earnest, persuasive
preaching Of the gospel and use of the in
qulry room. The use of much "bodly ex-
ercise," and the strong appeal to the emo
lions which characterizes so many revival
lists, are discountenanced by him. lie pos
sesses the entire con fidence of Mr.. Moody,
who says Of him, "He is the best evangelist
ever knew" and is recommended by him
for this service. Mr.. Needham Is an Irish
man of much fire and skill in this work
and also has been chosen by the great
preacher as his companion in this work.
These three men propose to devote them
selves, in cooperation with the pastors and
churches where they go, TO campaign in
this State during the coming month, which
shall result in revival Of religion"
