being ali their private residences instead of their pa ces of business they are further removed from the scene of action, and the enemy had gained much strength before they could bring themselves in flct with it. Contrary to all expectation the supply of water was found to be insufficient from the water works, probably owing to the improvidently taking out some of the upper plugs and thus i Il measure cutting off, Owing to tue pressure of tie fire, the sudden confusion and the anxious sollctude of each one to save his property, 1t was not found prac ticable to form continued line of communication with the creek and indeed the engines themselves. so far even they were supplied with water refused to perform their functions.
 The great heat of the weather was also very un- favorabe the suns rays had heated the roofs ofthe houses almost to inflammation, and rendered them fit
 to be ignited by the smallest spark; added to this was its relaxing and oppressive effect upon those engaged in endeavoring to extinguish the fire and thus diminishing their ability nearly one half A very large proportion of those who were engaged in this service those who had already been worn down with exertions to their chattels. But of all the unlavorabie circumstances none conribu- ted largely to the spread of the fire the absence of any wind sufficient force to impel the flames in any one certain course which would have concentred the exerons of the citizens to point, and pre- vented the fire from spreading in other directions.
 We have thus laid before readers a very m- perfect account of this awful catastrophe. Many particulars doubtless have not yet reached us and in the present excited state of feeling it is difficult to trust to any thing, which we did not ourselves with our own eyes, and have therefore confined our selves principally if not entirely to the relation of such things. Amid such total overthrow of their pe- cuniary prospects, we happy to say, there to be general manifestation of lortitude and manly resignation under this allicve dispensaton of Pro- violence, together with confidence ta. he vl,vhe visited us will provide with means to bear this visitation The spirit of enterprise is far very far from being crushed.
 We cannot close this account without stating fact which may a warning to other towns. In several places where the flames arrested, it owing entirely to the protection afforded by shade trees.

LOWELL, May 20
 "A battle was fought in this town on Tuesday evening last, between portion of the Irish popula- ton and about 200 Yankees The difference was occasioned short time prevons by "tries light as air" which were magniled in their fertile imag na- tons till they became past endurance. The parties began to assemble soon after dark, and at nine o'clock, when the first attack was made, probably numbered 300 men, who at all outward appearance, were !" full of fight" The principal weapons used on the occasion, stones and brcl-bats which flew in every direction, much to the annoyance of sundry persons who immediately gave leg bail for security. Several attacks were made by the as.ai- lants during the evening upon the Irish camps, and were continued till past midnight when they ceased On Wednesday evening, the Yankees began to re- assemble and make preparations for another attack, when one of their ingreaders was arrested by the constabes and brought into Merrimack street. where he, with the assistance ofthe mob made his escape The rioters soon after dispersed; thus ended tie per formance of the evening. do not know that any person was seriously injured.
 "Three persons by the name of Brown, Wiley, and Smacorn, were arrested yesterday and brought before MT Justice Robinson, charged with being concerned in the riot. and were ordered to recOg- nze in the sum of s200 each, for their appearance at court; but in default thereof were committed"
 The above extract contains all the details of the Riot that of any interest, and supercedes the ne. cessy of republising the exaggerated reports cur. rent in the city last evening and this morning, tha. the number engaged amounted to houSands, and that from 10 to lo persons were killed in the aiiay

 WASHINGTON, 9th May 1881.
 Dear Sir: I learn with some surprise from youl inquiries, well as those of others, that an impress sion has been made on the public mind to a consid erable extent, that the Cabinet was so much smbar. rassed by the dissensions of it's members as to rem deri incapable of transactng the public business You may be assured that there is not the slightest truth in such a rumor. The official intercourse of the Heads of Departments with each other and with the President has never, to my knowledge, been in terrupted for moment, nor hao any difference oi opinion as to the measures of the government divid ed the cabinet in single instance so far as reco lec according to the line ofseparation now so gene rally inscribed in the public papers, l am, very re- spectfully yours, s.

CHARLESTON. June 8.

CHARLESTON, June
 Letters from Camden by last evenings mail, give the particulars of rencounier which took place in the streets of that town on the Beth ult between Mir HAMMOND late editor ofthe Times S' Gazette at Co- lumbia, and Mir DANIELS, the editor of the Camden Journal. The former, it seems, having taken of fence at some remarks which appeared in the Jonr- nal of Saturday last left Columbia immediately, &C., companied by friend. Shortly after reaching Cam den they proceeded to the office of tie Journal, but not finding Mir DANIELS there, they went in search of, and soon met him, in the street. Mir HAMMOND, who is stout athletic man, advanced upon him, and struck him upon the head with stick when Mir D. drew from his pocket pistol, presented, and fired it at Mir II. but missed hm-tbe fight was re- newcd, and Mir D.. who is small man, defended himself as well as he could, but unable to cope successfully with his more powerful antagonist Al. ter they had been separated, Mir H. emphatically observed as he retired, that that "A Specimen of fNuLifcstion''-To which the other replied. that he had found him to be "No Submission Man. how ever.

.znti-1iasonry.-Mr John Quincy Adams and MT Richard Rush have joined the Anti Masons. The former attended grand anti masonic convention held at Boston on the 18th of last month. At this meeting, it was de- ciared that the comMon courtesies of life should be denied to freemasons; and a report was made by MT Golf, a member, "recom- nending churches to e.rcommunicate adher- ing Masons."
 MT Rush has written and published long letter upon the subject of masonry, which has been severely handled in the newspapers If all parties. We copy an extract from the remarks ot the editor of the Boston Courier, a paper supporting the claims of MT Clay for the Presidency. Besides the well merited castigation which MT Rush receives from the pen of this editor, some precious confessions are made, which deserves attention, and show how matters stand between the distinguisheo members of the coalition: It seems that MI Rush has abandoned the coalition and subor. dinate station in it, in order to act more con spicuous part. Mir Rush has been prompted tojoin the hue and cry against the masons. by "poltical ambition," s'expccting to be set up as a candidate for the Presidency, in op- position to his friend Henry Clay." We shall we hope have the whole truth by and by, and the machinations of the coalition will be unveiled: what turpitude, intrigue and pro- fiigacy, will be exhibited to the view of the American people!-Georgia Journal.

Mormon Emigration two hundred men and children, the deluded followers of Joe Smiths bible speculation have arrived on our coast during the last week, from the state of New-York and arc about seating themselves down upon the promised land' in this country. It is surely nc lancholy comment upon human nature to see so ma. ny people at this enlightened age ofthe world truck ling along at the car ofa miserable nposter, submit ting themselves both soul, and body, to his spiritual and temporal mundates without murmur. or pre- saming to question that it is all command direct from Heaven. Such an abject slavery of the mind endues for season but in due time, like the chains of Popery, the links which bind them will be rent asnnder, and reason resume again her empire.
 The above is taken from an Anti-masonic paper The Antmasons are generally very hostile to the Mormoni,es as a rival species of fanaticism.

 The steamboat Alps, has recently been purchased by Col Milum, of Texas, for the special purpose of ascertaning whether or not it is practicable, for a boat to pass through the Raft up to the head and on to Kiamisha.
 Col Milum seems to entertain no doubt of success in his enterprise; if he succeeds he will have the honor of taking the first craft of any description through the Raft. The advantages that will arise cessful vastly important, and will be properly appreciated by all. Too much praise cannot be be- slowed on Col Mum for his enterpris.ng genius and public spirit.

rNaholcon's 0hinion of the Poles.-Th late Emperor of the French was an acute ot- server of mankind; and perhaps no one pos sessed better opportunities of forming col rect opinion of the Poles. In O'MEARAs work, ".E Vo'ce from g. Helena," vol. 1, P 123, we find the following tribute from NAPo- LEON to their military character:
 "I made q few remarks upon the Polei who had served in his army, who observed were greatly attached to his person. 'Ah, replied the emperor, "they were attached to me-Most of my old Polish Guard are now employed through policy by Alexander They are a brave nation, and make good sol diers. In the cold, which p, ,evails in the northern countries, the Pole is better than the Frcnchman.

In this case, the Bank elected three mem bers of the Kentucky legislature, making a difference of six votes in the strength of par ties in that body. How many more were elect cd in other counties by it's money and influ- cnce, we have no means of ascertaining; but it's managers had the same motives to stimu- late them at Lexington and throughout the State. With the merits of that controvers' we have nothing to do. Our only object is t' shew, by the most direct evidence, that the Bank of the United States has interfered il political contests and State elections.
