Berlin, August 19.—A correspondent who has penetrated the furthermost parts of Seliaia, estimates that in one part of the district the damage done will amount to 150,000 marks, while 2,000 acres of arable land and pasture ground were inundated by the overflow of the Oder. ’ In the neighborhood of Opheln, 3,000 acres ot potato fields are covered with water, and whole clumps of villages are isolated. Tbe rain was so violent that in a few hours t: e river Neisse rose six feet In Posen, an irrmeuse expanse of meadow, is mandated. Not only to the grain destroyed, but the straw also. It to feared in some places that the wetness of tbe ground may disas»rously delay or altogether prevent its preparation tor next year’s seed. In the district of Kulm, West Prussia, a twenty-four hours’ rain completely rained the harvest, especially wheat. In some parts of East and West Prussia the fields are so impassable it is impossible to garner what remains ot the grain, and potatoes are beginning to rot. It will thus appear that the official estimate of tbe German harvest prospects, recently published, will have to be greatly lowered. Rye is almost wholly destroyed, and wheat and barley have little surviving value in the market. For the laboring portion of tbe community the potato crop is most serious, and the aid of the government to already being earnestly invoked.

The General will attend the reunion of his old regiment, tne For-ty-second, at Ashland, 0., next WednesWashington, Aug. 20.—The wholesale surrender of the hitherto unsubmissive Bioux Indians who went into Canada, now taking place at Fort Keogh, Montana, is not unexpected, as the policy oi the Government with reference thereto was decided upon long before the Indians began to make their appearance. Orders were sent to the Department Commander to permit the return rtf all Indians willing to surrender unconditionally, and submit themselves and their property to the disposition of this Government They will be promptly disarmed and dismounted, and the proceeds turned into provisions for their, temporary subsistence. Eventually they will be turned over to the Interior Department and transported to some point oa the West Missouri river, and as far south as practicable, where they will be placed on a reservation and kept there by such means of restraint as may be necessary. Tbe War Department does not understand that the 1,800 or more Indians who have surrendered, or are on their way to surrender at Ft. Keough, have no other than merely nominal connections with Bitting Ball. They went north at the same time he did, but have never been to any extent, under his personal control, and tbe movements and intentions ol that chiet are regarded by the department with indifference. If he chooses to come in and surrender, well and good; if not, he must stay on the Canadian side. The general of the army does not think Bitting Bull exercises, or has exercised, any important influence over the Indians coming back. No danger whatever to anticipated from theii appearance in such large numbers at headquarters. Their conduct to regarded by the .War Department as the natural lawlessness ana turbulence of savages coming in such large numbers, but without hostile intentions.

Chicago, August 90 —lnformation from Hong Kong, dated July 23th, says there is no change in the Russian prospects. Opinions continue to be equally divided as to the chances of war or peace. The Chinese ministry are evidently irritated by the congregation of foreign diplomatic agents charged with a mission more or leas aggressive in its character, and openly express discontent- An unusually formidable aspect is the delegation from the United States, which is now awaited with deep and increasing interest Qsing Lu jamin stubbornly refuses to disclose bis intentions respecting Kuldjs. Attacis listens to all representations from the western ministers, who unanimously urge a pacific settlement, but gives no sign or dissent It is believed by the best qualified observers that the ultimate decision depends upon events yet to come, and will be largely influenced by reports now awaited from Central Asia, and by the attitude of the diplomatic corps when all the members re-assembled. At the same time it is by no means impossible that the desperate intrigues of the wsr party, which now command the sympathy of the Empress, may precipitate hjatilities at any moment, hence the extreme divergencies of native and foreign judgment concerning the result There are prospects of visits to Corea by ships of several western nations. The United States ship Tlco: deroga is still hovering in that vicinity. The Italian shp Wittou Pisani, commanded by the Duke of Genoa, contemplates an approach, and there is a report of a similar intention on the part ot a German vessel with Prince Henrichs on board. The idea prevails that susceptible ity of the Oorean Government might be soothed by ad vances from members of au ropean royal families. There is nothing made public respecting Gordon's intentions. He travels northward to visit Le Hung Chong, with whom he was intimately associated in the Tai Peug rebellion. The relations were broken off, however, after the revolt was subdued, owing to his treacherous violation Qf a pledge for the safety of the vanquished insurgent leaders, It is pommonly believed that Gordon will enter the Chinese service, even as against Russia, and provided cer tain rigorous conditions, such as conducting hostilities on civilised principles, be strictly guaranteed. Lokoox, Aug. 90.—1 n the house of lords this evening,Lord Arnamore called attention to the danger of the peace of Ireland from the agitation of the land league, and the Fenians, whose organs in America are largely circulated in Ireland. He cited the language of Parnell, O’Donnell and Dillon to show their purpose to get rid of the landlords by whatever nieaas it could be done, and asked it the government has taken advice concerning the legality ot the land league organisation. and whether the present state of Ireland does not call for extraordinary mean ure. , - Earl Spencer, Lord President of the Council, said the league had not been created since rhe present government came into power, bnt had originated during the last government which took no legal opinion, nor had the present government

The Irish land agitation is most pernicious ano-exceedingly dangerous to peace. It is not intended to imitate the late government's abortive persecutions. The condition of the several parts of Ireland is very grave, and deserves the most serious attention, but no special Legislation is intended. The Government thinks the common law sufficiently powerful to deal with the matter, and the Government is determined to protect property with all the means at its diqxwal, and to maintain justice and law.

Cincinnati, August 81.—The mandate recommitting Gus Clarke to jail was received from the attorney general at Waahingtoh yesterday, and Clarke was turned over to the United States marshal for the stouthern district of Ohio. He was convicted in the United States court in March, 1879, after a long and tedious trial, ana was sentenced by Judge Swing to serve one year in the Hamilton county jail.

On the Sth of March last, the writ was finally refused by the supreme court, but on account of some oversight, which has been explained, several of the papers were not received at this office until this morning.
