Stock Exchange from Saratoga to-day were

There was less crop talk to-day and fewer prognosti
cations of sinister nature respecting the coming
harvest. That there has been damage to crops in
spots is conceded by the best of bulls but that the
injury has been sufficient to materially affect the
grand result is believed by nobody. Certainly the

PITTsBURGH, December lj.-The state
ment that Senator Wade Hampton has
been invited TO deliver q lecture for the
Grand Army oi the Republic IN this city
has been denied here and elsewhere,
and, 10 set AT rest all rumors, the lecture
committee to-day gave Hampton's letter
OF acceptance for publication. The let


ter is dated Columbia, South Carolina,
and the pith OF it is as follows: Owing
to the physical disability under which
! labor ut present ! have been forced to
decline all invitations 10 deliver public
addresses, but the invitation YOU extend
is so cordial and significant that
shall try 10 make an exception IN Its
favor. 1t seems 10 me that no
surer mode TO restore harmony
between the two sections OF the
country so lately contending in arms
can be found than to bring the old
soldiers of the two armies into friendly
consultation. Brave men are apt to
be generous, and if those who once
opposed each other in battle could now
meet "a citizens of a common country,
actuated 10y the desire of restoring
harmony and Cultivating peace among
all classes. We should soon see the Bit
ter sectional feeling which politicians
are fostering Tor their own selfish ends
laid al rest forever. Your invitation
has this end in view, as | understand
ii, and | shall gladly cooperate with
you in this laudible object. 1t will not
bein my power TO deliver an address
just now, but shall be happy to do SO
at some future time that will suit you.
The Grand Army boys have not yet
fixed the date. The proceeds OF the
lecture will be donated to the relief fund
for destitute members, and the mana
gers expect large profits, as their course
has been greatly commended here.

said that during his absence from Fad
sport last month there came up series of
severe storms which produced ridge Of
sand in a most peculiar position. Said
ridge elevates itself some FIVE feet above
high water mark, and is about half a mile
in length. it crosses the jetties at an
angle OF forjy-fve degrees, about one hun
dred yarGs back OF the wing dams. The
peculiarity consists in the fact that the
ridge, although broken in two by the let
ties, continues throughout of the same
height and thickness. Captain Brown
says if the ridge remains as at present, the
triangles formed by it on either side ol
the jetties-the one being acute aud the
other obtuse-will eventually fill up witt
sand and thus the jetties be greatly
strengthened.
