Washington, Dec. leth


The Post Office committees Of the two
houses, 10 whom was referred the subject Of
the late fire, meet, as yet, separately on the
business. II seems COW 10 be universally
admitted that the building was set on fire by
somc incendiary. Mr. Forsyth, Secretary OF
State, has prepared, and | presume sent TO
one or both of the committees, statement
in relation 10 the FIRE. in which he sets forth
that cciiuia communications have hoen made
TO his department that the building was scr
on fire; that tho persons employed ~ tn's
dlaboica transaction are connected with HE

Nowhere are dema gogues so powcrless, or the

THANKSGIVING.
A CHnIsriAN PROCLAMATION. AS day
Of Thanksgiving has been recommended by
the Governor Of this state, and many christian
people will doubtless be disposed to observe
the day in n religions manner, we would rec
Gmmend for their Terusal tho proclamation Of
Governor Jcnison, of Vermont. II is very
mar what such communication should be,
aid forms striking contrast TO the mengrc,
non-commi,al, milk-nrd-wa,sr thing which
our chief Magistrate gave us. Tho man who
is either so ignorant that he does moi know
what TO write, or 90 wicked that he will not
write what he ought, or is afraid 10 speak his
sentiments on religion, ought never TO Issue
u proclamation for the religious Observance o.
such day. We congratulate our sister stnte
on having man OF principle and decision al
their head. Buffalo Spectator.

THE GREAT FIRE IN WASHINGTON

Our Washington correspondent gives in de-
tail an account Of this most caamtous fire
the most unfortunate and in the most unfor-
tunate place, that could well have happened in
this country. The loss of property by the
burning Of all the mail bags, must be great !;
but the loss of the models in the Patent Office,
tina, choice exhibition Of American ingenuity, is
irreparabe The mails must now necessarily
be deranged for days and days n come. The
General Post Office, the City Post Office, and
the Patent Office were in one building--and
not near the other public buildings, but about
midway between the Presidents house and
the capitol. The fire originated in the cellar
Of the city post office. II is said that the books
and principal papers are saved, bnt an Office
SO complicated as nre the affairs OF the Gener-
al Pos, office, who's arms stretch all over this
broad Union, it is clear that there is now the
greatest opportunity for fraud. The treasury
buildings were most singulary burnt, and for
the purpose Of concealing frauds, it was be-
lieved by very many. Can it be that the frauds
Of any in diyidual have led 10 this most dsas-
trous calamity Can il be that the resolution
Of MIR Wise has muddened any one 10 the
commission Of such an act Some such sus-
picion as this has evidently led to the passage
of the following resolution in the house on
Thursday:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, Dec, 5.
Mr.. Conner, on leave, introduced the fo'.
lowing resolution, which was agreed 10.
Resolved, That the committee on the Post
office and post roads be instructed 10 inquire

Office buildings this morning and also TO in.
quire what injury may have been sustained by
the United States; and what legislation may
be necessary in consequence thereof.
From the Baltimore American.
My DEAR SiR.--Mr. Kennedy, who will
hand you this, will give you the details Of our
great calamity. know you will do all you
can 10 aid Us at this trying period.
Respectfully yours,
| W. JosEs.
Mr.. Kennedy reports that no part Of the con-
tents OF the City Post Office were saved, MOI
anything in the Paten! Office The whole
building is entirely Misunderstanding stand
ing but the bare walls! All the mails which
reached Washington yesterday evening from
the South had been despatched but all mails,
sc. from East, West and South of Washing.
| ton for delivery at that Office were burned
The mails from tho East, West and South
| had been received within three hours OF each
other. The clerks in the city post office ciosec
their labors al half past two this morning, nnd
the messenger, who slept in the adjoining roou
was awakened by the smoke from the cellar
at abou, hulf-post three, and gave the frs
alarm. The above is the substance Of tho in
formation received by J. S. Skinner, at l2 o.
clock.
