Our money market " is' 'wi'thomacu change, varying from . 7c onshort loans and from 8 to 12 per cent on discount The fall on Gold is attributed to the large 'supply from disbursements of the November1 interest on Government Bonds. An increased demand for Foreign account, for- grain, Cotton and other products, has given a healthy impetus to these products, i Foreign Freights how ever are sustained, tonage being scarce. Cotton we think, has seen its lowest' point, and we may therefore look for a re-action in its favor for better prices. The supply of Cereals in this country is not so large as was anticipated, and as there is a large falling off of crops abroad much will be required to make up the deficiency and consequently a heavy exportation from the United States, we must expect high prices at home.

Herald Extract of a letter dated . Fort Ransom," (Dakbtah,) Oct 19. A feajjful prarielfire suddenly reached the Fort on the 7th of October. The extract is as follows : . 'u r':': :;': ' :'XZ'l "The' winds, Which had been blowing strongly increased to a gale on Sunday night and by Monday morning had worked them selves into almost irresistable fury.- I was" writing in my tent about eleven o'clock, when a man put his head in and told me thaUrny kitchen tent a 1 Sibley was being blown away. I went out in time to see it rent into ribbons ; and the kitchen furniture, . and other articles striding over the prarie on their own hook. Sol occupied Was I in securing, my property, that I did not notice the immense volume of smoke coming over the hill, until a suffocating . . blast . made me feel it, and strange to say, no one else seems to have been oreoared for the fire. You can understand this better when you recol-. showed me the danger ; and to rush into the tents and haul out the women, and run them down to the sutler's store, (the only covered building) was the work ot a moment Being officer of the day, I had to rush: back and turn out the guard and sound the alarm. Tit o' A vr 1 ar ilnnmnn ni KiUti iiMwiA. idity, and was accompanied by immensrl banks of smoke, that threatened suffocation before the raging element reached us. Blinded and stifled, anything like resist ance Was almost impossible, and our feeble attempts would have been futile,1 for the wind caused the fire to leap fifty yards in some places. I had thrown myself down on my face to save my eyes and get a breath, when the recollection flashed upon me that six hundred pounds of powder were stored in the sutler's. I ran back and found sitting down by the corner oi the rcattle coral, surrounded by the frightened animals, and shrieking with terror. It appears that Major K v- had also recollected about the powder,' and had sent the women down to the Post, but she and . became sepa rated, and v. though t that her sister was lost Providing for her safety. I ran back to'the camp. By this time the whole camp would have been destroyed, ; but a sudden change in the wind drove the fire past the flank of the camp, within five yards of the tent, jumped the plowed! ground around the hay-stacks, devouring our six hundred tons of hay (our whole winter's supply), 'struck the corner of the Post, setting! fire to a few outer buildings and the corded wood, dashed up the side of the hill, and was off on the Erairie, destroying ! the half-breed camp, urning men, women, children, and animals leaving us suffocated ' with smoke and cmdew, and blinded with the ashes.? i The whole garrison worked for dear life to save the Post, and the wind providentially favored us. To put out what was on fire, was i impossible. The flames burnt almost with a white heat, but (; they were forced away from the. other buildings by the terrific force of the tornado. Everything was de stroyed that was set fire to, but the main body of the camp and Post was saved. All the rest of the day was occupied in beating out the remnants of the fire, and by night we were fain . to r lay down and rest our wearied bones Every thing was covered with soot, and my loss has been ? consider able ; but I am thankful that we escaped as we did. But rest was denied us, for as the gun went down the wind grew worse and worse. Forseeing what would happen, I ran the ladies down again into the store, and the other officers soon followed my example T A t? i L . xn a iew miuutes a genuine nurncane swept us, carrying everything before it The hos pital tents had been pitched here, and were filled with the burned. The tents were now down, and the sufferers' covered by the fallen poles and canvas. f rc , .;i v - The fury, of the storm did not abate until morning, when the remnants of the camp were to be seen. Nearly everr tent was blown down or torn into pieces, and property all more or less injured. 4 .

Sir A report is in circulation thai the cholera exists in the town, to an alarming extent. As the public interest requires the most respectable testimony on this occasion, I have taken the liberty to request that; you will give such information, for - publication in the People's JVet, as shall disabuse the public mind, or exhibit .the extent of the danger. -..r vr .

Thus it was at that period, and thus it is at the present ; f alse reports are put in circu lation and the anxjety of tho'pcoplo raised, and strangers areperhaps kept from settliog amongst us. . We can readily infer that something unknown acted to keep off that Asiatic destroyer which then sent downoto the grave so many inhabitants of other. parts of the United States. There may have been very severe and numerous attacks ot cholera ; morbus terminating fatally in rapid succes sion, as to make whole A bodies w think that the epidemic was in their, midst, . but on : close analysis thev happily found out their mistake, and gladly. announced their error. ' After other periodical returns of the same disease to this country, ; Wilmington; wai happily free from invasion; Its standard of. health' can compare with : any citykin jthe , Union.' The obituary list Of 1859, shows by r the record of OakdalcCemetry, the number ! of one hundred and twelve. The population of the iowh then was about nine thousand.
