ven to give a harmless complimentary ball to the gallant out-riders. On Sunday night a fire broke out in an out-house on Cumberland street. The light was first discovered by a gentleman from the country, and without giving sufficient alarm to bring out the engine companies, some hall-a-dozen stalwart young men arrested the progress of the flames by throwing on water and pulling down the house. The family who reside on the premises think an incendiary applied the torch. The loss was small, but very valuable property was endangered. The demand for corn is still greater than the supply — cargo sales at 50 cents. The supply of oats in grain is exhausted, and the article would sell here now at 40a45 cents.--Large quantities of oath in the straw are sold for forage at $1 per cwt. Meal sells at 70a80 cents. Flour — Super $5.50, Extra $6, Family $6.50--supply equal to the demand.--Wheat — red white 60a80. Rice 4½ cts., good supply. Sugar — brown N. O. 13a15, refined 18

Wheat as a substitute for coffee. Editors Dispatch:--Being on a visit to the county of Mecklenburg a short time since, I was told by one of my female acquaintances, near Clarksville, that she had found an excellent substitute for that very popular and indispensable article called "coffee." It consists in wheat parched, ground, and prepared in the same manner you do coffee. Experienced and devoted lovers of coffee have tried the wheat and report it equally as good as the genuine article. The grains being of different sizes, they should be parched separately, and afterwards ground together, when the coffee imparts to the wheat its genuine aromatic properties. Two-thirds wheat and the remainder coffee make a most excellent drink. Truly "necessity is the mother of invention." Let those who disbelieve but make the experiment. We have plenty of wheat; who cares for the blockade? Pro Bono Publico. Charlotte co., Va., Sept. 28, 1861.
