The extensive manufactumng works of Rogers & Uo., situated five miles south of Utica, N. Y., were totally consumed by fire with all their contents, early on Weduesday morning.

A sad calamity occurred at Hudson, N. Y., on the Fourth.

A despatch from the Mayor of Portland to Mayor Lincoln, of Bos- ton, says:—“Thousands of our people are homeless and hungry. Can you send us some bread and cooked provisions!’ The re<ponse has been as prompt and liberal as time will allow. Two thousand tents have also been torwarded by the United States authorities. The fire began in a planing-milland lumber- yard, between fr urand five o'clock. There was & great quantity of shavings in the yard, and these were carried inevery direction by the high wind. and to this and ascarcity of wa- ter some attribute the terrible destruction. The Elms, International, American d Wood's Hotels were burned. The United States Hotel escaped. Among the churches de- stroyed were the Universalist, Baptist, and a Roman Catholic bishop was consumed. The fire appeared to rage with about the same vio- lence throughout nearly the whole night Firemen and citizen would go to a butiding one-eighth of a mile from the great body of flames, with a view of tearing the structure Cown, and before this could be done, the fire would break ont in the roar of them.

WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1866. ° Ne. 4,161. General Plan of ti Campaign many. {From the London Times, June 2.) Gradually the form of the campaige ia Cen- tral Europe begins to umfola isteif. We can- potray whether the Austrian plans have un- dergope a change, because we know not what they originally were, but it seems certain that those which a fortnight ago were attributed to them in Germany can hardly be carried into execution. It was said that the Austrians, having massed a powerful army in Bobem ond completel ysecured the alliance of Saxoay, wotld make the best use of these advantages. A railroad and several good roads unite the countries: a few hours would be sufficient for tbe Austrians to take possession of the most defensible parts of Southern Saxony, and two or three days would place the whole of the little kingdom in their hards. What, then, would be more natural than that their first move should be the occupation of Dresden, and that in a few days after a declaration of war their lines shouid extend from Leipsic to Baut- zen, menacing the capital of their adversary! The event bas proved widely different. The Austrians have no doubt some reason for their apparent imactivity, for their Generals are abie, their troops eager, and it is their obvious interest to be successful at the beginning of the sampaign. Butas yet ali the advantages have been on the side of the Prussians. Yesteruay the teleg hb announced the occu- pation of Dreeden, a world learns that the Pru aken possession of Pirna, and that the Ssxon army i= vacating the country it Was raised to defend, and has by this time probably reti im mass No future generaisbip on the pa mies of Prussia can repair the ad ve Ger- gained. It was from the strong territory of Southern Saxony that the Austrian legions were to issue and to make the magn of Frandenburgh. A prosperous country and a sympathizing people w tobe attheir ser- vice, the large towns of the kingdom were to uiford a the spe ommodation for their wound: fe of a small State shari Ir victories was to ex< igns and peoples of Germany to espouse their cause The promptitude of the Prae pated there visions.

Ifthe Prossians push on and gain strong positions on the North side of the movatains, they may effectually prevent the entrance of the Anstrian army into Saxony, while they themselves threaten Bohemia, and oompel the enemy to Heep a considerable force On the South of the frontier. With respect to the movements of the Ans- trians, we must be very canuous in attributing importance to the statements which reach us. From the telegraphic despatches it would seem that the attention of Feld Marshal Bene. dek ts concentrated on the extreme South- eastern portion of Silesia, and that he pro- poses to wage a purely 1 war ona remote region of King William's dominions. It is said that the Austrians have invaded the Prussian Territory, opposite Troppau, and that the extreme left of the Prussian army bave to bear the brunt ofa hostile attack. I it y be that this movemert is merely subord to some grander scheme about which it is useless to speculate at present Though ratirosd bridges be torn up and tele- graphs be cut, the news of bloodshed will come quickly enougb, and it is not Likely to tall sbort_of any anticipations that may be formed. The successes of the Prussians against the allies of Austria will make the Iat ter Power all the more anxious to gain as: nel victory, and the tone of the Imperi ul Gov ernment shows an anger and bitterness which Will not stop until either decisive victory be attained or defeat be encountered Financial and Commerc The improvement in the market is well sustained.
