TO the Republican voters Of Burling
ton, and the Third Congressional
District.

You have been witnesses ofyirulent
assaults of the Free Press upon my
private and public character. l have
awaited with the patience thaCbecomes
a candidate for your sutftages for such
"a vindication as ] knew would come
in due time.
T. Mr.. Benedict having surrendera the
columns of the Free Press to those who
chose to use them to Witty me, [ have
had no adequate means to reach the
eye or ear Of its readers with the evil
dence to refute the false charges and
insinuations published therein,
= | wish to say to you that every
charge or insinuation about my char
acter as a man, my political integrity.
or the rcctitude Of my dealings with
the Government, made in the Free
Press, are absolutely and unqualifedly
false.
{ 1t is almost impossible to refute or
combat the charges that any venal,
corrupt, or yindictive man who. has
the control Of a daily newspaper may
make. Your contradiction however
explicit, or your reiutation Of ISLANDERS
and lies, however complete, seldom
REACHES the eye or ear Of those who
read the slanderous accusations.
My complete vindication from the
charges and destinations of the Free
Press comes from the republicans OF
st. Albaus, where | have resided and
been actively engaged in public affairs
and private bus ness for more than 2(
years, and among people who have
known Inc from childhood up to this

Editor Of ESSEX 60. Herrld.-Dear
Sir: As / have few leisure hours, |
viii try and give you and the readers
of the HERALD, few particulars anil
a little news from this place. Eureka
is lively town, and is at present sup
ported by the mines OF Ruby Hill. 1t
contains a mixed population, for you
can find people from most all quar-
tiers of the Globe The people, most
all live according TO their means and
position, there being no great attempt
at style, and there does not seem to
be much suffering among the poorer
class, although the country is crowded
with men out of employment. The
mines which are the sole existence Of
this country are looking well at pre-
sent, The largest companies are the
Richmond, Gan English company
and the Eureka Consolidated, Gan
American company Both compan-
les have large furnaces, and employ a
great many men. Their mines join
each other on Ruby Hill, and all then
ore is carried by the Jackson ant
Phoenix Rail Road Co., who have es
tablished hosting works. Consider
able interest is felt in the new mine
the Albion, for if it strikes rich it " il
benefit the country considerably.
Ruby Hill is quite town, abou
1000 or 1900 in population, consist
ing principally of Cornishmen as the,
predominant among mines. The day
are quite warm, very little rain
nights cool, ana all kinds of fruits ant
vegetables are in the market,

Steamboat Burned.

Steamboat Burned.
MEMPHIS. July 2.-The Anchor Line
steamer Capital City, while living at the ele-
vator, was totally destroyed by fire this
morning. The elevator took fire, and was
totally consumed.
About O'Clock the fire broke out near
the boiler head OF the steamer Capital City,
and in few moments the whole boat was
Iwrapued in flames, the officers, crew, and
passengers barely escaping with their lives,
leaving their clothing and everything be-
hind.
A strong westerly gale was blowing at
the time, and before the tire-engines and
tugs could reach the scene the elevator was
on fire, and the gale drove the flames
through the building, where was stored
thousands OF barrels OF oil, baggiDg, and
other infammable articles, which caused
such terrific heat as to speedily drive back
the tiremen, but not until one, named Con-
nor. had been dangerously burned.
AS soon as the fire was discovered Cap
tain Crane ordered the boat to be cut loose
In order TO save the elevator, but the gale
held the boat hard against it until pulled OIL
by the TUG, when it fioated down hundred
Yards among some trading and wood boats,
and burned to the boiler deck after setting
those boats on fire. The elevator soon
burned to the waters edge, and, with a
larne amount OF valuable merchandise, Is 4
| total loss.
There are numerous coniectures as TO the
number OF lives lost, but up to this writing
only one body has been found, which lies
on deck OF the Capital City, only the trunk
being left, and this not identified. One pas
seneer was severely burned in trying to
save his baggage. Captain Crane thinks the
fire is the work OF an incendiary. The total
loss will exceed 100000. The greater DOR
ton falls on the Anchor Line Company, or
st. Louis. AS the books and papers OF the
boat and elevator ire lost, it is impossible to
obtain a reliable list OF either losses or IN
surance.
MEMPHIS, July 2.-The body found on
the steamer Capital Git this morning mas
been identified as that OF Thomas Ewing,
of Colfax, Inu.. by his aged wife. Deceased
was returning home from the South. MIR.
Robinson, OF Longwood, Miss, was also
severely burned. All the crew arc safe.
tSecond UiSpatch.]
MEMPHIS, July 2.-Another body, sup
posed to be that OF some deck passenger
for st. Louis from Point Lookout, was found
in the wreck OF the Capital City this after
noon with leg and arm burned of. The
body was burned to crisp. Twenty bags
of Government mail were destroyed, and
the remainder more or less damaged. The
boat had on &c bales Of cotton and 200 sacks
of cotton-secd, and lot Of miscellaneous
freight for st. Louis-all OF which is lost.
There was in the elevator 1000 pieces OF
bagging; 1000 barrels OF oil 1000 barrels
OF meat; 400 barrels OF flour; 200 bales OF
hay, and large amount OF miscellaneous
freight, little of which is covered by in

England.

LONDON, July 2.-The MarE-Lane En-
press, in its review OF the British corn trade
for the past week. says There is de-
cided change for the better in the appear
ance OF the growing corn, which Is now
in full bloom. At first sight the fields seem
to promise a large crop, but in many fields
the ears are small. With tine exception OF
barley and oats, appearances at present
point to fair average yield OF the cereals.
as far as quantity is concerned, while the
quality Is likely to be mediocre.
The insignificant supplies OF English
wheat OF Mark Lane and the provincial
markets indicate rapid depletion Of stocks
in the farmers bands, and that little or no
thing will be left over at harvest-tme. The
imports OF foreign wheat into London'have
been moderate OF late, but the supplies go
into the granary rather than into consump-
ton. A few small lots OF white wheat
have been taken OFF the stands for CONT
mental account-principaliy for Belgium
and the north OF France, where the crops
are unsatisfactory and the prices several
shilings higher than in London, but no
further sales OF cargoes off the coast have
taken place. Maize has not undergone
much change on spot, but new mixed Anne
rican, to arrive, was offered at OBS. Cd. q
22s. Cd. per quarter-a price hitherto I'M
known for this article. With liberal arri-
walls at ports OF call, the floating cargo trade
for wheat is dull, and prices declined fully
q shilling per quarter. Maize and barley
have acceded fully Cd. per quarter.
Work of the Congress.
LONDON, July with yesterdays scs-
sion OF the congress, the problems present.
ed by the Reorganization OF Turkey in Eu-
rope have been solved with one difficult
exception-that OF the border provinces OF
Greece. II the course is followed in this
case which was followed in the considera-
ton OF the other portions OF the European
dominions Of the Porte, the solution would
seem to involve some change, releasing the
control of the Ottoman Government over the
provinces; but the opposition Of the Sultan
to any such plan, and the difficulty OF get
ting Russia to consent to the extension OF
Greek influence beyond few districts close
to the Greek frontier may render impracti'
cable the scheme proposed by some OF the
members OF the congress, which, according
to a Berlin correspondent OF the Times, is
to offer to Greece some rights OF supervision
and control over West Roumelia-that is,
Thessaly, Macedonia, and Eplrus-as Aus.
tria will be entrusted within Bosnia and
HERZEGOVINA, and possibly in Northern Al
bana. BY thus extending the influence OF
neighborinG States over adjacent provinces
which have long given trouble the congress
might prevent Il recurrence OF recent events
and remove q cause OF future wars.

PHILADELPHIA, July 2.-Messrs. Collins
Brothers have determined to send colored
men to Brazil to work on the Madeira and

that five hundred will so out on the Rio de

There is an active market for coal, and
operatives are doing we'll for this season OF
the year. Tt is stated that prices for coal
after September will be very high. In
order to keep the supply within the INN! OF
the demand the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company have ordered sus-
pension in their region, which will last GER
tainly two weeks perhaps longer. In this
suspension individual operators share bad
ly. The consumers say the combination
must break down before the year ends, and
the operatives are rs confident it will not.
