| ET In another column Of to-day's paper
! will be found an account of dreadful
fire which occurred in New York on the
14th inst. 1t seems that more than for
|! y large and valuable buildings were
burnt down, and property to the amount
of 900 900 dollars destroyed.
o. The Ashes of Anthracite Coal.
it has been discovered, contain properties
highly valuable to the agriculturist as
manure on dry land.
o. The Cumberland Civilian of
Tuesday gives rumor from the Frede-
rick Herald. that the Courthouse in
Belle-Air, Hartford county. had been des-
troyed by mob, in consequence Of their
4 dissatisfaction at verdict in one of the
Bank of Maryland cases.
CO The Aboltionists of the North are
not only endangering the lives of the
citizens of the slave holding states by
! their incendiary papers-but. their infa-
nous work is the just cause of alarm in
some of the free States. We learn, pri-
vately, that town not $50 miles from
here, in free state, owing to the num-
Der ofthese papers received and directed
through the Post Office to coloured per-
sons, and the appearance Of SO many
strange blacks, supposed to be engaged
in the work of distributing "Amalgama.
ton Pamphlets, &c." have had to keep
up night patrol and arm themselves for
their own security.
/ o. The editor of the Wheeling Ga
zette learns from gentleman just return
ed from visit to Ashtabula, that an ex-
haussing drought prevails along thesouth-
ern shore Of lake Erie, extending inland
SO miles. No rain had fallen for three
weeks; and the corn, potatoes, and other
vegetables, were perishlng.
o. The Buffalo Advertiser states,
that serious injury to the growing crops
of corn and potatoes, was caused in that
neighborhood by frost on the night OF the
| End instant.
G We assure the Editors of the Rich
mond Enquirer. that when we penned the
article alluded TO by them, we had not
seen their acceptance of The proposition
OF the Lynchburg virginian. If we had.
we probably would not have made the
enquiry we did but it is quite immate-
rial, as no one can doubt that the Garri-
sons, Tappan's, and the whole band of
fanatics, will prefer the election of Mr..
Van Buren, to any other man. Such men
as Clay, Webster, White and Harrison,
will not suit them so we'll as Van Buren,
and johnson. Mark it--Virginia will
not now give up her Tyler's and Leighs,
to crafty either Van Buren,, or Andrew
Stevenson. The friends of Van Buren,
have done him more injury in Tennes.
see, and Virginia, within the last three
months, than his opponents could have
done him in eighteen. White and Bell
seem determined TO take advantage of
the situation in which they have placed
THEM, and they are fools if they do not.
But the course of the Enquirer now is
such as to entitle it to the appreciation of
the whole south. Then, 60 on in the
good wofk-it is work worthy of its a.
ole Editors.
O. From an account published, il
appears that, that dreadful disease the
CHOLERA made its appearance in Rus
sELLvrLLE, Kentucky, on the 25th OF Ju-
ly. in all its horrors and in one week
between SEVENTY and EIGHTY persons,
white and black, died. At the latest
dates Russellvile was almost, if not en-
tirely, deserted; and it is stated that
some of the deceased still remain in their
houses uninterred.
| NJ We learn that the "lmmediate
Aboltionists" held meeting at Lynn,
Mass. on the 5th inst, at which the Rev.
George Thompson, of England, made a
flaming speech. The presence OF large
