A few months ago a large Bomber of our best colored men, migrated to Cali fornia. Hearing various rumors about the success which attended them in their new homes, we addressed a letter to srv era! of the most intelligent, asking then- opinions. The fallowing is one of the an swers. We urge onr colored people to heed the' writer's advice and stay at home "Mr. Thomas Patt in : I received your letter some time ago, and was glad to hear front von. and haoov to know that yon th Might so much of me as to oblige me witn a copy ot the utubn.

The Savannah cotton mill was burned this evening a little after 3 o'clock. It is supposed that the fire started from a heated spindle. and in an hour nothing but the walls of the building were left. Employes hardly had time to escape through the windows. The engineer was in the engine room next to where the fire started and attempted toured a hose, but wasdrivenoutby the intense beat of the names which leaped from room to room and covered the en tire budding. Between 90 and 10O em ployes were in the building, but all of them escaped.1 Firemen played on the building from all sides, but the flames spread with such rapidity that they were anable to get control, oreven check them. The mill was built in 1870 at a cost, with machinery, of $150,000. It had a capacity of one million spindles and was the only mill of the kind in Sa vannah. It was owned by John Flan nery, and was operated under lease of L. M. Warfield. The total loss on the build ing, machinery and stock is $100,000; insurance $49,000. During the progress of the fire in the mill, a row of tenement houses on the opposite side of the street caught, and eight houses were burned. The loss on tenements and to occupants will approximate $3,000, upon which there is but small insurance. NKW YORK STOCK MARKET. A Woman R feasted to Death He rons Her Husband's Eyes.

The Mode of frocedare. Pasis. April 9. The Chamber of Depu ties, to-day, discussed a bill prescribing the mode of procedure to be followed by - the Senate when sitting as a court for the trial of BoulanKcr. Delafosse de nounced the measure as a mockery of instice and an insult to the public con science. He declared that the Senate, be ing a political body, could not act im partially in the case. This assertion caused great uproar. Membersexchanged abusive epithets, and the scene was one of wild disorder. The President of the Chamber repeatedly called the House to order, and urzed members to observe moderation in discussion. When Dela fosse was allowed to continue, he said was completely enveloped in a fiery shroud and died before her husband's eves. Schtdeler's hands were burned to the bone. He was brought to town and his wounds dressed, but it is feared his hands will have to be amputated. He is nearly crazy from the shock of his wife s death and his own pain, and his physicians say he may die. The family is one of the oldest in tne county having been here for thirty years.

The Western North Carolina di vision is now the fastest in the entire Richmond and Danville system, and with the proposed reduction mentioned above, it will be the speediest, by long odds, of any road in the .Southern States.
