from the Western Methodist.

GENEROUS AcT.-On Saturday week before
last, as the Rev. F. E. Pitts of this city, was a
passenger on board the Steam Boat Tobacco
plant, Capt. Organ, scene occurred, the des-
cription of which cannot fail to touch every gen.
erous heart The boat was rounding to for
the purpose of effecting landing about l6 miles
above Clarksville. The curvature in the course
of the boat had made proud swell in the Wa
ter and whirlpool near the wheel of the boat
The Rev. Mr.. Pitts had just stepped out from
breakfast upon the guards ofthe boat with Sc
gar in his mouth, and saw child, about four
years old, belonging to Mrs Rama, Capt. Or
gans sister, playing on the guards The child
was suddenly precipitated into the boiling
waves near the wheel Of the boat. Without
waiting to give an alarm or thought to his own
danger, Rev. Mr.. Pitts plunged in after the
child AS he struck the water the child had
sunk; and while he was somewhat embarrassed
with his overcoat floating out upon the waters,
he watched the rising caught the child as it
came to the surface, and swan ashore with the
senseless little sufferer, and had the happiness
to see its suspended vitality return, and place it
in the hands ofits mother. Such was his pos
session ofmind, that he kept his segar in his
mouth until he reached the shore. The grateful
feelings of friends at such rescue may be ina
gined;-they can never be described

Labor is honorable.-The following paragraph
extracted from the Message of Governor Davis
creditable to its author.
"While we continue to respect labor-while
we look upon it, as it is the great element that
imparts to our country a growth which errors
in public policy can scarcely check, and to our
institutions their overpowerng strength; while
we hold it to be meritorious and honorable, in
stead of servile; while we cling to the purity and
simplicity Of life, which belongs to this condition
instead of degenerating into the follies, the va
nifty and false hopes which overgrown wealth
often begets; while We pursue policy that will
give to this labor the most ample scope and en-
couragement in all its various occupations, we
shall have little occasion to entertain apprehen-
sion for our free institutions, five also continue
to provide literally for the culture and improve
ment of the mind.n

The National Gazette says:-We stated yes
terday that we had reason to believe that Mr.
John A. Brown whom the President had endea
vored to injure, [see Pittsburg Report in yester,
days Gazette, has no loan from the Bank O.
the United States. We have since informed
ourselves upon the subject and learnt that nei-
Their that gentleman nor his house have had a
discount or loan of any kind from that insti-
tuition since 1929, and that they do not owe the
Bank of the United States one dollar.

The Richmond Compiler says" Chapman
Johnson, Esq addressed the People atthe Coun-
ty Court House yesterday morning, on the sub
iect of the Presidents course in removing the
Public Deposites. His speech was about three
hours and half in length, and decidedly one
of the ablest and most conclusive arguments
we have ever listened to, on that or any other
subject Repeated cheers Interrupted the speech.
and the crowd left the Court House at late
hour with but one feeling-that of qualification
and delight"

Extensive ConfagrGtion IN Nep fOrE.-On
Monday last, between and O'Clock, z. NJ,
New York was again visited by destructive
fire. 1t broke out in a stable in the rear OF
asS Mulberry street, and almost adjoining the
rear of Mr. Chase's Baptist Church in Mott
street, and was occasioned by the careless use
Of lighted candle. The wind being fresh
the flames were carried upwards with incredi'
bic celebrity towards the Roman Catholic Or.
phan Asylum, where their progress was lmped
ed by the precaution taken in rendering the
rear of that building impervious to fire. Had
the Asylum been burnt, no human power could
have saved that immense church, st. Patrick's
Cathedral, from total destruction. AS it was,
it several times took fire, and was extinguished
by feats of boldness and daring. The CONNER
cial Advertiser gives the following paragraphs:
The dwelling houses destroyed were from ff-
teen to twenty in number, and included about
half the number in the square bounded on
Spring, Mulberry, Prince and Mott stress. They
were occupied by perhaps not less than fifty
families, chiefly natives of Ireland. A few of
these houses were of brick, or had brick fronts
the remainder were two story frame buildings.
There were in the centre ofthe square: the large
three story brick school house attached TO the
asylum plaister-ofParis factory, a slaughter
house, and about dozen cartmen's stables, ali
OIL which We're totally destroyed, together with
one horse and several swine. The total num-
zero buildings destroyed, We think, is not less
nan iorty, of all descriptions.
