The engroSsed bill concerning the public

form more duties than the soldiers OF the u
States army. 1t was also proposed TO make
the pay OF the commandant the same as that
of officers ofthe U. S. Army commanding
stations. 1t was consideration in favor OF
this increase of his pay, that he was super
intendant ofbuldings, the duties of which
office were often heavy The additional an

@5nOn the first evening Of the Caucus
Mr.. Cameron of Bath, one of those Clay
men alluded 10 by the author of the let
ter in the Courier and Enquirer, as en-
tering the Caucus to betray the Jackson
party, repealed the charge; stated that
he was willing to take any nomination
the majority of the Caucus might make,
and that he had voted for the adjourn
ment, which was esteemed evidence of
a preference for Mr.. Van Buren, over Mr..

On Wednesday, Mr.. McCue made an
unsuccessful attempt in the House Of
Delegates, to call up the bill authorizing
the extension of the Valley Rail Road,
West of Staunton. 1t appears the sci.

the Legislature. to refuse that privilege.

Amongst the deaths by Cholera yesterday.
which occurred after the report Of the Board OF
Health was made, was that Of General A. r.
MUIR, Commissary General Of the Militia Of this
State, and President of the Etna Insurance
Company. He had Iabored under slight d'sor-
der for several days previous, and VIC have been
informed that he expressed apPrehenslonss that he
would be visited by the epidemic. he was
abroad as usual on Thursday, but complained OF
debility. He was attacked early yesterday
morning, aud expired shortly after noon. His
loss to society IS to be deplored. His DISPOSE
ton was social and amiable; and though known
as thorough. going and influential party man.
he was always courteous to his opponents. AS
an officer in the militia. in which capacity he
served with much zeal and activity tor
number Of years, he was highly respected: The
circle of his friends was large; and ne will long
be regretted BY them.

Destructive Ere.-A ire occurred in this Gle
~ Yesterday morning. which has proved more
destructive in ITS consequences than any which
has happened here FOR a number OF years past.
About eleven O'Clock, the extensive Lumber
Yard of M.ssrs. WIN. Carson & Co. on Buchan-
ans wharf, (west side Of Frederick street DOCK
was found TO be on fire, aud, owing to the com.
bust;ble nature Of its contents, was so0n so tar
enveloped in flames as to hid defiance to the ef-
forts which were made to subdue them. The in
tense heat Of the burning mass, and ITS close con-
tpuity to the rear Of the long range OF warehouse
"a on Smiths wharf, soon extended the lire to
those warehouses, and we regret to add that live
of them were totally consumed, with more or less
of their contents. The first warehouse on Smiths
wharf which took fire was that occupied BY
Messrs. Manning & Hope, which was soon com
nI.,s,v in flames. The 6re then spread to the
" ,rebouses ON either side, involving in one COM
mon destruction the warehouses occupied by
Messrs John Lester, Hugh Boyle, and Buck y
Hedrck, ON the south, and on the north, that OF
J,.hn White, Cashier. An adjoining or more
pur,herlv warehouse, also belonging to John
White, E.q. was partially damaged, and on this
aide the IRE was arrested. Its progress southerIy
VA, arrested by the block Of fire proof wsrehous-
% belonging to >Rabert Smith. Esq. These lat
Ter were subjected TO truly fiery ordeal of some
h..rs.-,h- rear of them being but few feet
from the piles Of burning lumber,-but the faith.

]" Pass on relentless world"

Swifter and swifter, day by day,
 Down times unquiet current hurled, Thou passest on thy restless way,
 Tumutuous and unstable world Thou passest on time hath not seen Delay upon thy hurried path ;-- And prayers and tears alike have been h vain to stay thy course of wrath. Thou passest on, and with thee go
 The loves of youth-the cares of age And smiles and tears, and joy and woe A re on thy history's bloody page There, every day like yesterday,
 Writes hopes that end in mockery ;- But who shall tear the veil away, Before the abyss of things that be! Thou passest on, and at thy side,
 Even as a shade, Oblivion treads, And OCT the dreams of human pride, His misty shroud forever spreads Where all thy iron hand hast traced
 Upon that gloomy scroll to-day, With records ages since efaced,-
 Like them shall live-like them decay. Thou passest on-with tbee the vain
 That sport upon thy Haunting blaze Pride, framed of dust, and Folly's train, Who court thy love, and run thy ways. But thou and I--(and be it so)--
 Press onwards to eternity; Y ct not together let us go
 To that deep-yoiced bufshoreiess sea! Thou hast thy friends, 1.-Two nave mine; Thou hast thy ghts,-leaye me my
 own.
 Ikneel not at thy gilded shrine;
 bow not at thy siavish throne! I'll them pass by without sigh ;-
 They make no swelling raptue now, The fierce delights that fire thine eye The triumph of thine naughty brow Pass on, relentless world - grieve No more for all that thou hast riven: Pass on, in Gods name ,---oniy leave The things thou never yet hast giyen-- A heart at ease--a mind at home,
 Affections fixed above thy sway,- Faith set upon world to come,
 And patience through life's little day. ...-.-.-.. ---..--e.s .-es5s es

 The taf-famed rangers and hunters Of this State, nave ever been celehral- cd for their partiaiay for the l4ile, aitd for tAe exquisite skill they display ln lls use, both in the forest and Ill the field. We say riRe, for 1t IS fact well known, that the shot gun or fowliug piece Is rarely found, they eoncelying them en- tirely beneath the dignity ol a genune backwoodsnan. Theseemingy mlfac- uious teats recorded of their shooting pla cups of whiskey from mans head, at all incredible distance, of their sbark- ing squirrels,' &c., will not perhaps ex- cite so much surprise, when we read oi children, of the tender ages oi eight or ten years, shooting tears, even before strong enough to support gun. The enierprising and fearless settlers of the frontier 50 rear their ehiidreb, that their very sports led them into danger, and they learn the artlfces of the chase so carly, that the knowledge IS almost an instinct. The moment q lad can carry a rifle he becomes q hunter, as the yolng falcon so soon as he he can pTane his wiag, darts upon his prey.
