Singular Incidea.-On Friday morning
fire broke out in that doomed concern the
Oneida bank. 1t is said TO have caugh. from
stove pipe. 1t was goi under without
much difficulty and without much damage,
other than tearing off a few boards and laths,
to enable them to extingnish'it. In ten
minutes more the whole building would
have been in flames.
On the evening Of the same day, as some
of the directors and officers were quietly
seated, conversing about their prosperous
condition the slove burst with tremendous
report, scattering the Goals about the floor.
There was great CONSERVATION for moment
some of them thinking very naturally. thar
they were "sent for" One fthe directors is
said to have exclaimed, swell, gentlemen,
we may look for an earthquake next" No
lives lost.-Oneida Democrat.

Another Egaua ARRAY in Arkansas.--A
,fs.c,I affray occurred at Whitson-town, Ar
kansas, Dec. 18th, between Major William
Whitson and Col. John Lassater, both of
Crawford County, and the latter member
of the Legislature, which resulted in the
death of the former. II is said Whitson
attacked Lassater unaware, while the latter
was in conversation. Each then drew a
pistol and fired at the same time, and the
ball of Lassatcr passed through the lungs
of Wilson.
A good moral result has grown out of
this affair. The Legislature of Arkansas
has passed an act, IL to Q, TO prevent the
practice Of carrying concealed weapons.

TEXAS.
New Orleans, Jan /, 1885,

4'CW SF'Stbot Suit iOoOs
We received no papers by the last ar
rival from Velasco, but have been inform
I'd by some Of the passengers that the un-
easiness created by the last proclamation of
Gen. Houston, respecting the military
movements of the Mexicans, had speedily
lassed away. The army remains at win
ter quarters, and all the male population
were armed and ready 10 support the army,
should circumstances require. The whole
number Of rifcmen in the country, is cal
culated at from to 10000. The people
of Texas are divided in two great parties
the one are the friends of Austin, and the
other those Of Houston, and consequently
there is strong opposition TO the present
administration, but fortunately the move
ments of the Mcxicans, and still more, the
negotiations which Mr.. Wharton must have
by this time, commenced at Washington,
for the incorporation Of Texas into the
Union, or the acknowledgment of her in.
dependence as separate nation, keep the
leaders of the people apparently united.
The Texans expect nothing from Santa
Anna but the diversion which his escape
from confinement must necessarily create
among the Mcxcans, already so divided.
In the meantime, emigration to the infant
Republic, continues both by sea and by
land. The settlements on the coast are
filling up, as well as all the Nacogdoches
country. The lots of the new town of
Houston, which is to be the future seat of
government, and those of Columbus town,
situated on Tres Palaicios Bay, near Mata-
gorda, arc TO be put up for sale here next
week. They will be sold on very reasona.
bic terms, say $40 to $40, but then one of
the conditions is, that purchasers shall make
some improvements OH the lots in the course
Of two years.

The distressing shipwreck of the bark

I'd January, leaves an awful responsibility
somewhere. The question is asked where

Editors, to justify their conduct, but will
state facts as far as they come to my know.
ledge, to show where they were. On Sum-
day the 1st of January the harbor was so
much filled with ice that the pilot boat
Washington Qhe only one that could be 60,
out of the river,) with the Pilots from three
boats OH board, attempted 10 get to sea, but
was early in the afternoon taken by the ice
on that dangerous spot known as Robins
Reef. All anxious to get to sea, she fortu.
naiely was relieved from her perilous situa-
ton by the steamboat Bolivar, by taking a
hawser from The pilot boat Washington
across the floating ice to the steamboat
Bolivar. That was done ut the risk Of the
lives of several of the Pilots. She was
then towed tn the wharf at the quarantine
ground, and from thence towed with much
difficulty by the steamboat Hercules down
bclow-and even there they had to contend
with floating ice. The cold at this time had
increased TO such degree that the deck
and sails of the pilot boat were all covered
with ice, and the thermometer to Zero.
SO much sas been said in our public
Journals against the Pilots of our harbor,
for neglect of duty, fiat think it due to
them as a worthy class Of our fellow citizens,
to make this statement for the information OF

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.


Thursday, Jan. 5.
After the reading of the Journal, reports
were received from standing committees,
asking to be discharged from the further
consideration of sundry private bills.
The unfinished business of yesterday was
then called up, the resolution of Mr.. Allan,
of Kentucky, being first in order. The
resolution recommends a grant of public
lands to the several states for the purpose
Of aiding the cause of general education.
After a short debate, motion was made
to lay the whole subjec. on the table. A
division being called, the motion was re.
jected.
1t was then resolved, that the House pro.
coed to the consideration Of the order Of
the day.
The Speaker announced communica-
ton from the Secretary fthe Navy, trans.
hitting, in obedience 10 call of the House,
The names of the persons employed in that
department, and the money paid to each,
during the present year.
Also, communication from the Secre-
tary of the y reasury, in answer to resolu.
ion Kissed on the Goth of December, re.
-fdlring him to furnish information, as to the
reasons why the 9th article Of the treaty
between Spain and the United States had
not been carried into execution. They
were ordered to lie on the table and printed,
Tho consideration of the amendment Of
Mr.. Pearce to the resolution Of Mr.. Wise
for an investigation of the various Execu.
tive Departments, was then resumed.
Mr.. Robertson, of Virginia, being cnttl.
cd to the floor, continued his remarks from
yesterday.
Mr.. flanagan, Of Indiana, replied. AZ
ter commenting on the unwarrantable attack
on the President and his measures, he as
sured his enemies that although they NIGH
attempt to cast obloquy on his name, his
deeds would go down to posterty, and his
conduct be viewed in its proper light
However they might endeavor to villify anc
misrepresent him, they could not strike his
name from the records OF history. But as
a sweeping charge Of corruption had beer
made against the whole executive depart
men,s, he was willing for the strictes
scrutiny and investigation, and if any spc
cuation or corruption should be discovered
Let the parties be held forth to public infamy
Mr.. tlamcr, Of Ohio, considered the pre-
sent subject one Of great importance, mas
much as 1t had most powerful effect on the
