Of the many narrow escapes, that of
the Grand Vizier was ono ol the closest.
Accompanied by a dozen or so   of   soldiers, his Highness had penetrated into
the centre ofthe building, where it was
believed some of the fair inmates yet remained,    Whilst   searching  for   these,
the flames literally sourrounded thc room
in which Fuad Pacha and his   compan*
ions were, and it was only by  escaping
through a window whicli opened on the
Marmora that hia Highness and the men
with him effected their   retreat—but  a
few minutes before the roof of the room
they had left lell in.    By three p.m. the
work of'destruction was complete.    The
fire indeed, still raged at   tbat   hour in
..fihe detached buildings in the   rear and
round, towards Yali Kiosk, but   of the
old palaces on the»Point, only the outer
Qourt wall and the   tottering   chimney
stacks remained.    About an hour  after
the fire broke out   the   Sultan   himself
proceeded to the scene, but on the   urgent advice oftbe ministers, his  Majesty remained onl}- a   short   time   in the.
dangerous neighborhood, returning   to
Dolmabaktche, whence the   progress of
the conflagration was nearly  as   visible
as from the perilous spot itself.
t'he site ofthe old building thus des-
troyed-js one of the most historic in
Stambouj. In the earliest Byzantine
da>s it was covered by the Acropolis of
the new eastern capital; later by a palace ofthe Empress Plaeidia; later still
by another and grander imperial residence, reared by Justian, on the ruiiif
of whieh other palaces were successfully |
buill,till -Mahomet II erected that of
which the stru ture destroyed on Monday was the last of many restorations.
In this building took place the assassination of Sultan -Selim 111 and Musta.
pha IV., and from it issued the successive
edicts which crushed the V\ ahhabees,
annihilated the Jannissaries and inaugurated the other acts of reforming "vigor" which illustrated the reign of Mah-
moud. On the completion of the new
palace of Dolmabaktche, the late Sultan

1 suppose tbat no  country  has  ever
bad such a power ofinventtm, and such
stunted   intellectual   development,    as
China.    The  Chinesse is the  largest—
yet beyond its own  realm the least influential  of mi'narcbies.    From  China
no mission ever started.    No conqueror
ever marched.    Before all people in rud-
imental  invention,  they are behind all
people in development.    They had both
old and silver coins before the first Darie
was minted, yet they traffic by the scales to  this   day.      They   first   had   gun.
powder, but have got little further with
its use  than to blaze it away  in crackers.    They  were long beforehand with
the magnet,  but no junk  ev rx crossed
the occean  except in  tow ofa   British
ship.    They have printed from time immemorial,  but their literature  awakes
no   progressive intellect.     They   have
made glass for two thousand years, and
ordinarily do not make it clear enough
to see   through  yet.    Their astronomy
is still astrology,  nor has their chemistry  awoke from  dreams of alchemy.—
They have politeness, but its odd torn s,
and  slavery  of   etiquette   only   make
them   mure  unsociable.     They   have a
wonderful  language,   but its elaborate
cleverness is a curse and a fetter to their
minds   making it the labor of a life to
learn  to read.    They  are not without
notions  ol dignity;   bwE the men find it
in nails long  enough for claws, and the
women in feet crushed into theshapeless-
ness  of hoofs.    In the  South Atlantic
there is a sea—tho Great Sargaao.    All
the  currents  pass by  it.    Dull,   dead,
heaving waves just move the beaped-up
tangle of weeds that grow, and the drift
of  wrecks   that  rot in   that   stagnant,
melancholy  o;*ean  limbo.    China is the
Sargazo   sea of  the ocean of humanity.
The Chinese are the Kip Van vVi kles of
ot our race."

when the calamity occurred. The tire
is said to have originated in a small
kitchen attached to the suite ot appart-
ments occupied by the fourth hadin, who
had barely time to go to the adjoining
rooms of her late con; it gal colleagues, disturbing them at their after breakfast col-
fee and chibouque, and urge thei rim mediate flight before the flames spread from
lier own chum ber to those of the other ladies. The whole of these, as also the other
women, eunuchsandservant,managed to
effect their retreat into tho outer

deserted to sin re the fortunes of comparative strangers. If young females
wou d comprehend how grossly indelicate, as well as culpably reckless, such
marriages appear in the eyes ofthe observing, they would surely forbear A
year's thorough acquaintance, with the
must circumstantial accounts, from disinterested and' reliable witnesses,
anccdents from childhood, are tht
best guarantee wich any woman, who
nderstands what marriage is, will require ot a stranger. Even then, ii hot-
parents are not fully satisfied, as well

When will thk War end.—This grave and important question has been frequently asked of us
by friends _,nd correspondents. We answer—Not
until the administration organs in the Uee Stales
Iail into the man a .ment ol better bauds. It is lhe
inflammatory and boasting articles iu tbat class of
papera which add fuel tc the fire. Few of them
pay the least regard to truth in their statements ae
to the operations or feeling of the Soulh, Neither
the politicians, nor the contractors with their enormous gains could keep the war a going without
the aid of the "free papeta of the North," as the
Republican papers impudently style their issues.
Whatever reliable iutormatiou we get from the
South, is through tbe medium of their papers ;
and. judging erroneously from the spirit displayed
iu a majority of our papers correctly represent the
mind aud tbe heart of the whole northern people,
while in point of tbe fact, the most intelligent and
patriotic of tbe northern people desire, peace,based
upou lair play and equity towards all sections oi
the country. So far the war has doue no thi tg towards the settlement of the questions in dispute
belore the war commenced.— BoEam Pilot.

Toe Draft.—Orpheus C, Kerr, the Hiptoriogra-
phi;r of the Mackerel Biigade, wWto lately approaching th'e Capitolian City, encountered a man
—ar, rather in bis own Johnsonian words :
'•Wheu very near the city, on ray return home,
I met a chap weighing aboui 225 pounds, who WBF
on his way to a lawyer's to get his exemption from
drfi ft. dniy  fix«d.
'See here, my patriotic invalid,' pays I, skepfi-
cally, -how do you come to he exempt !
'I am exempt, Bays lie in a profoundly me'anoho
ly manner, because I am euffering from a broken
heart,'
•Hem,' says I.
'It is true,'says he, sniffling dismally, 'I asked
the female of my heart to have ae. She said I
hadn't postage stamps enough to suit her ideas o1
personal revenue, and she didn't cure lo do my
washing. That was enough ; njy heart is broken
and J am not an able-bodied man,'
-Drafting, my boy, is of a nature to develop 'he
seeds ot disease in the hitherto healthy human
8} stem.'"
A Scathing Criticism.
Tin: London dispatch of August 23d comments
as followB ou a work recently published, eutiteled
'The Anti-Savery Cause in Aim-rica and its Mar
tyrs,'' by Eliza Wijjbam :
'■There are literally millions of people and hundreds of thousands of families in Great Biitaiu it-
8 If, so wholly incapable of the obligations of e:-
vilzaiioii, Ibat they would be freer and happier _J
they had a reputation master—if Ihey were slaves
How many of them aie slaves to the police now
Five hundred thousand of the people of England
and Wales alone go through Ihe hand*, nl thi
poiice every year. "We have," says the slav
owner, ''no work-house—no police—no use for
jails—scarcely any crime, we are what the palri-
archs were before us—every master is responsible
for rhe health, the good conduct, the improvement
of his people. It is our interest, and the power ot
public opinion gradually compels us, to devote
ourselves more and more" to the progress of A:e><v
we are set over," How many of our fellow subjects are prostitutes, thieves, swindlers, begging
impo-lers, imprisoned, transported, executed, simply because our civilization does not admit ol
precautionary restraints upon lawlessness, and
vice, which are at the command ol a master armed
wilh the powers of prevention which we can only
apply for punish raft tit, The problem of liberty is
not eveu yet worked out. Vice and crime increasi-
far faster than population and prosperity, The
character, the conouct. the condition of the slaves
of the Confederate States have, irameaeuiably
improved, not only since ihey were brought
Irom All ica, but in every year in their life
iu America. Can we say as much for our
masses, for our city Arabs, workhouses, ragged
chools? The progress of population, an infallible
indication of social improvement, is among the
slaves, two huudred aud fifty per een , greater lhan
in England. In free Ireland two millions aud a
half pei ish ed in eighteen months from famine, aod
all leave it who cau get away. Is tbere anything
like that to show in Kentucky or Virginia? Every
sout km.-ws its own burden — every social state
knows its owu difficulties. Therefore it is ihat for
England, lor our present state of society, we. for
our own part, would rather keep to our owu universal liberty, wiih all iis dangers and strugeks.
thau seek to retrace our steps. But, afteT all, it
is ouly ano tli er k:ud of slavery thai we bave, than
any radical difference in principle from less Iree
countries. Our mountains of statutes are just, so
many restraints upon ouruaiural freedom. When
Dr. Johnson saw a gibbet he knew he had ?eturned
lo civilization. What right have we, what the
Federalists, to.d.ctale io the Soulh its. social institutions? Are we all to take to destroylug one
another by way of managing our neighbors' al-
fairs belter than each cau do his own ? The French
think our laws of primogeniture uud entail unnatu
ral, unjust, cruel aud impolitic. * .* . Are the
Frencli justified in invading England to put an end
to tne privileges of the eldst son, and the perpetuation of estates in  families?
■'Eliza Wigman lauds to the skies lhe intrepidity oi American women who opened the schools for
white children to children ol color. Why not exercise that tiial of christian humility at home?
When she picks up the ragged brats of the Cow-
gate or meal Vennel of Ediuburg, aud introduces
them to the ladies' boarding-schools of Newingtou
and Drummond Place, we shall think more of her
sense of duty. It is color in America—it is
wealth, or rank, or orders of society in Scotland ;
but it is the same instinct in principle everywhere. Let in a crowd cf dustmen or ragpickers
upon the pews of fashionable miserable Calvinislic
sinners of the Free Kirk —aye, introduce ihein at
ihe May men iug of the Friends, at Bishopsgale
or Exeter Hall, and let us see the result of that
expeiinient before 'throwing the first stone' at
ihe slave-owner. We know of uo sect practically
so socially aud theologically exclusive as the
Quakers."

The New Atlantic Cable.—Cyrus W. Field has
just returned from Europe, bringing with bim as
specimen or the uew Atlantic cable. It is far superior to the one that was fir-t laid. It is about
three-fourths of an inch in diameter, composed ot
seven small copper wires, strongly pressed together
till they look almost like one, surrounded by gutta
percha about one-third of'au inch thick, and then
by ten strong iion wires twisted rope-reshion.
These wires are wrapped in the best Russian hemp.
Glass, Eilioti & Co., the contractors, have commenced the manufacture of Lhe oable and will
prosecute it, wilh the utmost energy end despatch,
They will receive about $3,000,000 for making and
laying the cable, and turning it over, in complete
working order, to the company. Glass, Elliott &
Co., have never entenaiued ihe slightest doubt of
the entire practicability of the Atlautic telegraph
as a scientific undertaking and a commercial veu
ture, and illustrate their faith by accepting a large
part of their pay in stock. The insurance oompa-
niis of Loudon are now insuring all risks iu tbe
enterprise at 25 pet cent, premium.
It is supposed that the English Government will
detail one or two steamers from the uaval service
to accompany the cabl -laying expedition, and
render t*oy assistance that may be required. The
entire arrangement and conduct of the* expedition
is devolved upon Glass, Elliott &Co. Their piaos
are not wholly deteimil ed upon as yet, but ihey
will try to charter the Great Eastern, wbich
could easily carry the cable, and would ride oyer
the waves with the desirable steadiness, The distance between the two coasts is about 1.640 nautical miles ; but Glass, Elliott & Co., will make
2.000 miles of the cable. The laying is to he doue
in June, July or August of 1S64!—.V. Y. Times

A callant soldier was orce beard to say that his

which I carry out ot the field I regard as so much

They have a singular Republican paper at
Springfield, Mass. It is called the Republican ;
and it publishes the folloing from itB war oorrei-
poudent iu the Army of tbc Fotomnc ;
Elk Run, Va., August 17.
Dear Republican : 1 rode up to see my regiment a day or two since. Being an inspector, sha I
I report to ycu on one point? The first thing I
heard on dismounting was, "Only ten gone Bince
last roll call," Ten what? do you inquire? No,
dear Republican, you are not so dull aB that question would imply, not even in dog days. You
know that ten eouscripls were meant,—the substitutes rather. Three thousand d»\larB worth Of
New England's purchased heroes had vanished
within the two hours previous to my arrival ;
■•618,000 worth in the three days previou". Sixty
out of two bundled and ten in one regiment, and
lhe ratio increasing constantly.
The most of the missing are in New York, I pre*
sume, hy this time, and ready for another campaign equally short and remunerative with the one
they have broughtjust uow so successfully lo a
close. One of them boasted that he bad already
made $1,000 in the substitute business. Several
others have sold theselves twice. AnoLher, who
had just gambled away .the most ol the SoOO that
constiiuied his price, in order to get himself in
funds again (temporarily till the next sale,) stole
$75, which one of our good boys had paid him, on
the night lie lelt. Three hundred passed our head,
quai tt-rs last night—all substituted—at leaBt one
third of them scoundrels who had been engaged in
the New York riois, and found it convenient to re-
toe a liitle into the couutry, took the $300 to pay
their expenses, and expect to be back to their old
haunts.
Some of them won't go back.—Two were killed
and several wounded ou their way here from the
slaiion, seeking to break guard. We can probably
by letting the enemy go unwatched, and tnruingon
our northern friends, be able to catch some of Ihera
as they are deserting, and by shooting lbem save
ourselves from any farther trouble from these particular individuals. But our patriotic bre.thern at
home will soon supply their places for its witb
equally valuable materials for our armies. Stilj
a better plan would be, as soon as the substitutes
are regularly aicepted and mustered iuto tbe
United Stales service, to send them to the several
State penitentiaries, for three years or during tbo
war, as they could be guarded more cheaply and
safe y there than here, and our army will be likely
to have as much other business on hand as we can
attend to, without the extra duty of guarding your
criminals.
Will the South Submit?—The London Times o
7th September, says :
The d sasler so long averted at Chailestot:
seems to be imminent, and the Federals will probably be able io sate their revenge on that valiant
little city. The destruction of Fort Sumter is
uot indeed the capture of Charleston, but it is the
most important step to it. * * * TUe Federals
may go on in their career of conquest, aud the cities of the Southern coast may fall inlo iheir bands
one by one ; but every victory adds fuel lo the original flame ot secession. . When two nations go to
war upon some definite ground of quarrel the battles and seiges are fair trials of strength ; the side
which linds itself the weakest may consent to"a
compromise, and the two nations, which have no
further disagreement mi^y uuile again in honorable friendship. But wh^n a nation like the South
ia fighting for bare existence, all terms of ebbjaga'
tion are imposible. Thc invader may cut. deep into the country, but the soul of the national life
escapes his sword, and his cruelties only quicken
the pulse ofthe heart of independence. The Federals may |_aiu point utter point, but they cannot
conquer the haired which they huve raised aod
inflamed themselves. Not the least hopeless feature of the strugtrie, loo, is the furious passion for
war which it Beems to be rousing in the Northern
mind. The ina^iiie rage of conquest grows bv
what it feeds upon, and every capture of a city or
defeat of an army on y rouses an appetile for further destruction and fresh victories. So long w
the Federal^an fight and get tne means of fighting, bo long will ihey be willing and eazger to
fight and beyond question, so long they will haa'*
to tight, ■

At the meeting ofthe Odontography Society of
Pennsylvania, held in Philadelphia, in August
last, several papers of great interest were read.—
The following is condensed from one by Dr. S. R.
Screven, on dental caries :
This disease is the most destructive of any to
wliich the organs of mastication are subject, whicb
iu fact is sufficient to show the great necessity of
a thorough understanding of its origin and progress. Caries is a disorganization or decompoBi-
of dentaUtructure, originating in all caBes from
mechanical, chemical or physiological causes. To
imperfect development of the teeth may be attributed two-thirds of the demand for artificial dentures. If wa regard man as he is, perfection is
seldom attained; consequently there is premature
failure, and the teeth afford a marked illustration
of this. The tendency ol some parts of tbe body
to grow oid prematurely, is sometimes hereditary.
Early falling out of the teeth occurs to many members ofthe same family about the same period of
time. Those who have been fortunate enough to
arrive al the age of twentyfive or thirty years
without being attacked by caries of the teeth, are
apt to continue so through the balance of life free
from its disturbance. But we notice a large majority of persons in early life with almost every
description of^deeayed leeth—alveolar abscess, exostosis, inflammation of tbe gums, and a| diseased
condition of all the organs in general; and through
life, the physician or dentist is sought to alleviate
tbeir suffering. Some writers maintain that
caries is cantagious; but It has been settled that
the exriting causes are external, and the predisposing causes internal. A predisposing cause exists io teeth of a soft and delicate texture; those
which have a yellowish appearance, and dense in
structure, are less liable to it, yet all are te a certain extent liable from their limy composition.—
The disease is rapid in teeth of a delicate and
transparent slructnre. An exciting external cause
for caries is acids, which penetrate the enamel and
come iu contact with the dentine; and ao internal
exciting cause of caries is feeble health. The paper, as published in the Dental Cosmos, goes to
show lhat much ignorance respecting caries prevails among dentists; and Dr. Flagg, one of the
members i 1 the Society, alluded t» tbis. Dr.
Warrtle stated that be believed mau. as oow constituted, whb always imperfect. He found that
there were two periods during human life when
teeth were predisposed to decay. The first was
between iwelve and eighteen years of age; and
from the thirty fillh lo lhe fortieth year tor the
latter periodjot deeay. The last development ol
decomposition wan very d;ffieult to arrest. Dr.
Gill believed th-*t excessive spilling waB eminent-
y injurious to hea'th. and the inlet rity of the

ihat very large quantities ot that valuable fluid,

Yankee nation; much to the physical detriment
