roads filled with the carcasses of ani mals horses, cattle and sheep dying from smoke and heat, while hunger and starvation must bo endured by the wretched people. Menekaune has been destroyed, and all its Inhabitants are destitute, house less, and homeless. No particulars have been received. , ; It is reported the whole west coast is on fire from Green Bay to Menominee. Depere, Wrightstown, and Fort How ard are threatened. 2o rain fell for two months until to-day when copious snowers were nauea witn joy. Great numbers of wounded have been brought to Green Bay. The scenes were appalling. Men and women were partially roasted alive, their eyes burn ed out and their ears burned off. . Advices from Fond du Lac say that . reports from the northern districts grow hourly worse. The accounts of suffering are unparalleled. Clothes, ioou ana money are greatly needed. Great fires are also reported in Calu met county. Dwellings, barns, hay, grain, and stock have been destroyed. Not a single town in the county has es caped. All crops have been destroyed. inmcuiars nave not been received. Thp RPftlpmpnf nf Wlllinmann'a IVf Ilia at Sturgeon Bay has been burned, ana sixty lives lost. -Late advices say that the towns of Marietta and Marnetti were partially saved. The heavy rain which is fall ing has nearly extinguished the fires in calumet and Kheeboygan counties. News from Michigan is very meagre, but most terrible. No details have come to hand, but the total destruction of a larsre number of towns is reported. including Holland, Saugatuck, Manis tee, and others. THE DESTRUCTION OP PISIITEGO. The village was situated on Pishtego river, seven miles from Green Bay. It was a nice little town of about 2,000 in habitants, quite regularly laid out, had line hotels, stores, churches, schools, e. . a iif unvn is neany surrouiiutxi uy !-! M. ! 1 1 pine forests, the suburban portions be ing built "among the pines." On Sunday night they were awaken ed from this feeling of securitv bv a noise like distant thunder, which in creased in volume until the crash of falling trees and the roar of the wind and fire could be plainly heard. Soon after a tornado burst upon the town. quickly followed by a solid sheet of llame, extending the whole length of the village and far beyond each way. In an instant the whole exposed side of the place was Inflames. Men, women , and children rushed into thestreet and, surrounded by fire on all sides, ' were soon either smothered or burned to death. In the less exposed portions the people fled to the river, and, jump ing in, many were drowned. iSome saved their lives by keeping their bod ies well under water, and once in a while putting their heads under as the heat became insufferable. Others took refuge in Avells and cisterns and were saved. Quite a large portion of the in habitants ran to a field to the leeward of the fire, and by lying" on the ground were saved, although some of these were badly burned. There is but one house left standing, and that is isola ted, and lately built of green lumber. EXTENT OF THE FIRES IN MICITIGAN. The counties of Huron and Sanilae, which constituted the principal scene of the fire, contain about 24,000 inhabi tants. Of these it is believed that 10, 000 are already rendered homeless. They have lost their houses, their barns, their stock, their mills, even their clothing. Some of them almost liter ally have to commence the world over again, being nearly as naked as when they were born. The people of Port Huron are in constant receipt of mes sages asking for provisions and cloth Iner. and the victims of the fire are still flocking in from the interior to the towns on the shore. Already the towns of Verona, New River, Sand Beach, Huron City, a portion of Port Hope, Crescent, Center Harbor, Elm Creek, White Rock, Paris, Cracow, Minden, Forrestville, and the Polish settlement near Forrestville, have been destroyed ; those on the lake to the very water's edge, as the docks in many instances have been swept away. These towns represent a population of at least 6,000 Tne vaguest guess-work only could estimate the loss of property in the In terior. Some of the people, burned out of house and home, were substantial farmers, showing that the fire has swept over the cleared and cultivated districts, as well as through the woods. Immigration. From the Norfolk Journal. The number of emigrants who sailed from the port of . Liverpool during the An nm on in. lasb iiirw minima vo iu.w crease of 5,000 over the number of the previous quarter. ' How many out of these 50,000 are about settling in the South, is easy to Iguess. Exact figures are out of the ques tion, but is our share at the rate of one percent? Decidedly not! Now if there 1 was a concert of action on our part; if the "Southern Board for Immigration" had been in existence from the begin s ning of this year, could any one doubt ! that out of these 50,000 people tee could nofchave secured one-tenth part ? This calculation is certainly not a wild one, i and adding that from other European ! ports, an equal number have embarked for America, during the same period, out of which we only claim the same fractional proportion, would that not ihave madewa 10,000 stronger in the space of 90 days? It is computed that every emigrant brings at least $100 with him in mony and goods; ergo, $1,000,000 lost to the South in three months bn account of her lethargy for want of organization, ; not for indifference-foT that would be despairing. I , Then the Echo of Levis (Canada) states that the agent of a French com pany has purchased immense tracts of land on the East of the Beance, in the neighborhood of the Kenebec; that two hundred and fifty Alsatian and Lorraine families are en route for their "new homes ;" that a great influx of French emigration Is expected, and that the "pioneers" are well pleased with the country, their prospects and the treat ment they receive. Is this not a contrast? Canada going ahead and the South remaining station ary! Well may we ponder over it. We need representatives in the Old World," men who, without being unjust to Canada or to the Western States, will prove there that our climate is better, and our natural resources greater than In any of those regions the migratory multitudes seem to be infatuated with, because they Know nothing of us, and because tee have never tried to popular ire ourselves with them. ? Let us not delay a concert of action to create a "Southern Bord of Immigra tion ;" for if tee do not take our Interests at heart, who will? ! J.

Lemonade and candy venders in a circus is a most intolerable nuisance. The cry of "Lemonade ! here F comes in at a time when there is something good being said bv tho clown, and the audience, in the neighborhood of the lemonade man, loses the joke. I Serious Accident. On Monday after noon, tho 16th inst, says the Tarboro' En mtii rr Mr. Wrisht Wltrsins. an estimable and highly respected citizen of thisj county met with a very serious accident by being caught in his Gin while running, crushing his arm and hand most terrible. ' 1 War Among the Yard Sticks. A few days since, according to the Columbia Union, Messrs. Aguew k Son and Mr. A. L. Solomon, well known merchants in that city, met and fought Solomon receiving a severe cut near the ear witn a lioe, tuat caused him to bleed profusely. j - i A wno-nn loud of Union torDedoos ex ploded in New Orleans on the 10th inst., killing the driver instantly.

Now.cousin, fire away. j j . - To-day closes the first week of Rowan Superior Court. It will, it is thought, ro quire tho whole of next week to get the Docket clear. Judge Cannon present as Judge, Col. A. II. Joyce as Solicitor. All parties speak in high terms of both gentle men as officers of the law, they unques tionably deserve it. There is no State cases on the Docket of very much importance!, : Observer. Salisbury, Oct. 21st, 1871. General Pleasonton denies the statement that he recently "cut" President Grant at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. In a note to the Sunhe says: , In reply to this statement I desire to say that I have not had tho honor of meeting General Grant at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, or at any other place, since I left Washing ton, and that I have too much respect Ifor General Grant, as well as for the high office of President of the United States, not; to tender to him the greatest personal courtesy and consideration all fit UH uuica uiu u places. scnvED Right.

Quint Bryant. A gentleman of this citylnforms us, that from a private letter received from Danville, Va., he learns that Ouint Brvant well known in this commu nity, was shot by a Danville policeman, a few days since, and is supposed to be mor tally wounded. Nine murderers were recently hung by a sinele hangman on a low gallows at Kiev, Russia. He strangled them one at a time, the whole operation lasting two hours. The ninth, who had witnessed the execution of all the others, fainted away as his turn came, and took his choking without pain. ' First to Settle. Mr. Thos. N. Jordan, tho Tax Collector for Caswell county, is the first officer .who has settled in full with the State Treasurer, this year. . Mr. Jordan is entitled to the more credit, because while Sheriffs and other Tax Collectors have two hands with which to collect, he has only one and that a left hand he having left his other on the battle-field. ' : Tho. Williamston, Martin Co. Spectator, pays Judge Moore, of that Circuit Court, a hieh compliment for being a good Judge, and a clever gentleman. Spectator is Dem- aoratidr-Judge Moore is a Republican. We mention this, that our readers may know that a Democratic paper speaks well of a Republican. But, wherever J udge M. goes, he is well spoken of. I . - i A Northern Court has decided that a rail road coupon, although marked good for thirty days only.and that period had ex pired over three months, remained good until it was used. Exchange. I 1 5 A Very correct decision. Railroads, after selling the right of way on their trains, should not arrogate to themselves the pre rogative to say when a man should or should not travel but leave that discretionary with the purchaser. i j A Democrat, whom A. H. Stepens knows "from reputation," (whether good or bad, or what may be his name, he does not state,) writes to the Atlanta . Sun, from Maine that he has conversed with hun dreds of Democrats since the State conven tion, and has not met with the first one who approves tho New Departure. He, there fore, concludes the New Departure to be dead. From all portions of the world, we hear of recent disasters, either by fire or water. The "Iteathen Chinee" have had ; a visita tion of Divine wrath, in the shape of a flood.

The city of Hankow is threat ened with inundation. i . Great Fire and Great loss of Life in Wisconsin. A dispatch from James- vino, Wisconsin, of the 14th, says: "Gov. Fairchild telegraphs that the appalling ca lamity has not been ' exaerserated. Over three thousand men, women and children are now destitute. The loss of life has been verv ereat. Not less than five hundred per sons have been burned at Peshtego and vi cinity, and three hundred on the JSastern shore. Scores of mei women and children are now in temporary hospitals burned and maimed." i - . i Growth of Chicago. No city in the Union has increased in population so rap idly as Chicago. The following table snows the population at different periods : 1830, 4 - j 70 1840, j 4,853 1845 J 12,088 1850, j 29,963 1853, r 00,267 1860 1 - 110,973 .1862, j . i 138,835 1863, 160,000 1866, , 200,340 1867) 241,354 . 1871 298,077 i -.v ! r-: I SAD Accident. We learn that on last Saturday, says the Times, whilo out gun ning with a friend in a boat, in the vicinity of Hyde County, Mr. Silverthorne, a very estimable gentleman, well known in this city, was accidentally shot, and died in a few minutes after. From what we could learn, it appeared that a gun in tho hands of his friend, acci dentally went off, mortally wounding Mr. Silverthorne, and his companion slightly. r Mr Silverthorne lived long enough after the accident, to state that it was entirely ac cidental and no one was to blame. 4 , h mmmmmmlmlm,lm Bind hams Cadets. Unexpected to our citizens and : the public, CoL Bingham's Cadets, made their appearance on our streets, Thursday, at 11 o'clock, and, marched out to the Fair ground. These boys and young men were well clad in uqiforms made of "Confederate grey." They marched well, and presented a handsome appearance. Tho CoL was mounted, and we doubt not felt a pride in this exhibition, the result of his own individual exertions. He deserves great credit for the interest which he has mani fested In training our boys. i i , ' I. . Huno Juries. During the recent Term of Wake Superior Court, there were no less than! four different juries, that failed to agree in their verdict, and had either to be discharged, or the case compromised by the contending counseL In each instance, the matter involved, was small the larceny of fifty cents; the larceny of a bushel or two of corn, &c As petit larcenies are becoming alarming ly frequent, the necessity for additional jurisdiction in a Magistrate's Court, or a city ; criminal Court, . is apparent. And again: Justices of the Peace should be clothed with final jurisdiction in cases of bastardy. Something must be done to keep tho multitude of little dirty cases out of our Superior - Court. Scarcely a day occurs. thai Borne Magistrate does not send to jail some poor devil for stealing a bottle of whiskey or couple of chickens, j 1 1-Arson and Robbebt. Newbern Times says four men, named respectively Chahey Wire, Simon Williams, Henry Midget and Brown Jones, jwere committed to Craven jail, on Saturday-last, for arson and robbery. - : ; . Frank Mayj negro, was condemned to death, at Grenada, Miss., last week, for poi soning his wife with 'rat exterminator.": He is also reported to have tied one of his children to a stake and burned it to death. FtooD jn TttE South. We understand from a private letter received from a friend In Texas, that a recent storm In that State, caused the waters to be driven almost en tirely over the city of Galveston. Indianola is said to have suffered in the same way. The Wilmintogn Journal of the 15th says: 'John Freeman, colored, charged with com mitting a rape on the person of Silvia Sauls, a colored girl some 12 or 13 years of age, was yesterday j examined before Wm. Mc Laurin, J. P., and ordered to find bail in the sum of $500 for his appearance at the next term of the Superior Court. He gave the bond and was released." i. A Fight the Jail. On Saturday evening last two negroes. Bill Kennedy and Allen Norman, confined in the jail at this place, fell out about some trivial affair and got to fighting when Kennedy stabbed Nor man pretty severely with a knife. f i f Charlotte Observer. The Sheriff of Mecklenburg ought to be indicted for allowing prisoners to retain their arms, when committed to his custody. Meredith Thomas, while hunting squir rels near Greenton, Mo., a few days since, climbed a high tree for the purpose of shak ing down a squirrel which he had shot, and which had lodged on a limb. He shook himself out, instead of the coveted animal, and broke both of his legs by the fall. The Hillsboro' Recorder man Is in receipt of June apples, plucked from the tree in October. Times. j . Or in other words, a June apple tree pro duces a second crop, which have been pluck ed in October-fsequently, they are not June apples, but evidently, October apples. Don't you see, Manix ? Stealing bt the aid of Gunpowder. An attempt was made last Monday night, while the rain Was falling,, by some person unknown, to capture a hog, near the R. fe G. Depot, br shooting. The I hog was se verely wounded, but escaped the cluthes of the thief. Among those! discovered in the diabolical work of plundering the ruins in Chicago were a number of New York hieves. Bar ney Aaron and Bill Tracy were promptly hung up to the! lamp posts, and the notori ous lutcn nenancKs, tne oona-rooDer, George Butts, John Daly and were shot on tho spot. Jim Monday Death of Col. Washington. CoL Lew is Washington,' the nearest blood relation of George Washington, died at Charlestown, West Virginia, !on the 1st inst., in the fifty ninth year of his age. He was the first man taken prisoner by John Brown during his raid into Virginia, and was ;roscued from the old engine house when Brown surren dered to the United States troops under the command of then Col. Robert1 E. Lee. Our Senior is suffering from rheumatism at the North, at least so he writes. We have a strong suspicion it is the gout. Been liv ing too high. Times. We advise him to return to his old quar ters in Newbern, and resume his usual diet herrin and corn bread. An Editor who has not better control of his appetite, when abroad, than to gormandize, ana giutomze, ought to have the gout. Special Plea of Innocence. We hardly think the Sentinel need have troubled itself to inform the public that Mr. Marcom.prin ter, is "an honest man and ian excellent printer" we alt know that, and know an other fact, that John Wv Marcom under stands the rule by which matter is measur ed. We suggest that Mr. Marcom be put on the committee to investigate the charged irregularities what ever he reports.we will agree is correct.: Let the charge be at once established, or exploded. The two men arrested in Wilmington, some weeks since, upon the evidence of certain detectives, for firing Goldsboro,' were not tried at the recent term of Wayne Court a true bill was not found by the Grand Jury the witnesses were not on hand, and consequently Judge Clarke re leased the prisoners on bail at which cer tain renters exnress horror. We are inclin ed to the opinion, that Judge d. acted prop erlyand we hazard the opinion that the witnesses will never make their appearance, when called, i j T' The Observer .undertakes to! excuse the Sheriff of Mecklenburg for the recent fight in jail, in which a knife was uscd,by saying the knife was slipped in to the prisoner, unknown to the Sheriff. Well, you didn't say so, in the first instance, and if you had, we ask where! was the . vigilance of the Sheriff.that this "slipping" was not detected. Can't see that the case is bettered by the explanation offered. j . Bui tell ns, Mr. Local, how you connect Et tu Brute with that last declaration 7 Hav ing submitted your article to several, the only comment Is a smile." Rorinson's Circus. This great show has been in our! city, and is now fulfilling appointments in other portions of the State. This combination of shows j is the largest and most wonderful ever exhibited in our city, and was visited, on Saturday afternoon, bv the largest audience ever before assem bled under a canvass in this city. Aside from the ring performances, the collection of animals is not only good, but very good, and well kept looking sleek and neat, and all of them, young, if except one Lion. Old John Robinson was not along. Ho will feel gratified to hear that the reception of his great show in the city of Raleigh, has never had its equaL ; Rojcoval of the .Fair GROUNDS. We are glad that our fellow-townsman, Hon. D. M. Ban-in ger, opposed the removal of the fair grounds, from its present, and orig inal locality, toi any other point. A more suitable place could not possibly be selected around the city, and the people are well satisfied with the grounds, now occupied. And again, many persons have bought lots and improved them, at heavy expense, con tiguous to the present locality, for no other reason than that of the Annual State Fair being held there, and it would be a piece of cruel injustice to injure the value of their property, by changing the grounds. , We hope Gen. Barringer may j live to fight against this wild goose chase, ror many years to come. , i Kerosene Vindicated thb Chicago Fire. Mrs. ' Leroy, of 137 Decker , street, Chicago, in whose barn the .fire originated, pronounces the story false that the .fire broke out in consequence of carrying a ker osence lamp into the stable.

We rgret to hear of an unfortunate shooting affair, which took place at the circus at Rocky Mount on Wednesday. The particulars, as well as we have been able to ascertain, aro about as follows: 1 Mr. Swep Harrison requested Mr. F. M. Rawlings of this place to tell a man stand ing in front of him(Harrison) to sit down, that he was in his way. This Rawlings de clined to do, telling Harrison to attend to his own business. A short while after, Har rison approached Rawlings in the Menag erie in an excited manner, using very abu sive language towards the latter. Harrison then put his hand behind him as if to draw a weapon, whereupon Rawlings shot him with a pistol, shattering Harrison's left arm below the elbow. A friend of Harrison's in terposed, bowie knives were drawn, but the bystanders separated the combatants. Mr. Rawlings received a blow on the nose after being disarmed. The case was carried before the Mayor, who fined all the par ties. ! Dr. Frank J. Drake performed a painful surgical operation upon Mr. Harrison's arm immediately after the affray. Battleboro Advance. For such an offense, a simple fine, by a mayor for the violation of a town ordinance, we can understand by exercising a tremen dous stretch of immigration ; but the Courts, and the State Laws, will perhaps take a different view of this shooting scrape, and display of bowie knives. . i - - Raleigh Markets.
