SOMETIMES BY FIRE.--The Post OF
flee building at Troy, Mama county,
Ohio, was discovered to be on fire,
about IL O'Clock, on the night of the
10Th inst. The alarm being seasona.
bly given, and the night calm, the
flames were extinguished before ma
king much progress. The books, let
tiers, and papers were principally saved.
The building was small, standing apart
from any other; and, on examination,
the Post Master stated that il had been
broken open and robbed of about S825
of Post Office funds, all Of which was
in specie except S195. The attempt
to destroy the building would thus
seem TO have been made, with view
to conceaing the previous robbery
But by whom was this robbery COM
mitiedi No conjecture was yet hazar-
ded on this point. 1t is thus that those
multitudinous Sub Treasures are ex.
posed to danger, sometimes by fire,
and sometimes by robbery from within
or without. Assuming that there were
twelve thousand Sub-Treasuries in full
operation according to the Van Buren,
system, how many accidents might
happen to the public money, among
all this number, ia the course of q
year bail. Pat.

try. Cane is thriving well, corn will
be abundant, and ofcotton there are no
complaints.
lNDIASA.--The Centreville (Ia.)
Chronicle thus speaks Of some corn
growing in that town -
son Monday morning last we mea-
sured several stalks of corn, in differ
ent lots 10 this town, and found them
from fourteen feet fire inches to sirteen
feet eight inches high. The tallest
stalk we measured was in the lot of
Mr.. Israel Abrdbams, at the West end
Of Main ST., where we counted from
fire 20 eleUen perfect ears on stalk.
This is the celebrated "Baden Corn"
sent FROM Washington City last Spring
by our Representative n Congress, the
Hon. James Randen. We have not
had time to go out to Mr.. Rarlden's
farm, where there is ten acre field Of
cora, to find "talI stalks" but are in
formed that the field looks like a for
rest, and will average four ears to a
stalk. This corn is rather late, being
so high that it will require longer to RI
pen than the common kind.
KENrUoKY-IaH Corn. THE Lou
isville Journal "A few days ago
we saw corn on the place Of our friend
j. Rowan, Jr., near Bardsiown, eigh-
teen feet high.
ARKANsAs.--The Little Rock Ca
zette ofthe LIST inst. mentions that two
weeks previously, the corn and other
crops in that region were as luxuriant
as could have been wished, and the
farmer was cheered with the prospect
of most abundant crops, but that the
subsequent drought and hot weather
had nearly blighted their hopes. 1t
adds, however. a postscript, stating
that "A most acceptable and seasonable
shower Of rain had fallen on The after
noon Of the 3lst, which seemed to have
put new face upon things, and bad
afforded new vigor and relreshment to
vegetation.

From the Hamilton (Ten.) Gazette
CHEROKEE EMIGRATION.

The conference between Gen. Scott
and the Cherokee Councils is al length
ended. The Chiefs ofthe Nation have
undertaken the transportation of the
people to their homes. 1t is now ma
tionnl movement onsthe part Of the In.
dians, and Cor the first time there is
something like unanimlty Of feeling and
concurrence Of the whole tribe. They
have agreed, on their part, to furnish
the subsistence and means oftransport'
alton that may be necessary TO render
the Indians comfortable on their Jour-
ney to tho West, and TO commence the
removal by the FIRST Of September, 10
dctachments Of about one thousand
ench, and, after tho departure OF the
first, to have every consecutive depart
ment to start in very few days. 1t is
computed that all the Indians can be
removed in twelve attachments, and
that the last will leave by the 20th Of
October. General Scott, on the part
ofthe Government, has agreed to all
low sixty~ige dollars per head for re.
moval, aud to furnish in advance one
half tho amount. Each detachment
will be conducted exclusively by their
own people, accompanied by one ortwo
physicians, who will we suppose, re-
ceive their appointments from Gene
raj Scott, with the concurrence Of the
Chiefs. Until the departure of each
Iata n l. v1on, Tho InI,on. orc - Ia ot,L
sisted by tho Government.
Thus is settled, we hope forever, one
of the most difficult and complex ques-
tons which the Government has had
to contend with since the last war. II
ii has not terminated satisfactorily to
oil, the dsaffected must make tho most
reasonable allowances for the principal
actors in this scene. They have Ind
parts to perform of tho mos, delicate
and responsible nature. They have
had an injured nations wounds to bind
up, and at the same time TO avoid COM
promitting the honor or interest Of the
United States In the fnltlment Of the
duties assigned them, they have had to
tear ssunder the cords of affection
which bound a noble people to their na-
tai soil and tho burial ground Of their
fathers, and at the point Of the bayonet
to force them to another land. These
things, no doubt combined to influence
Gen. Sco.: to ran the risk Of mourning
the displeasure OF many who have
made sacrifices on the promises held
out to the public. IIe WAS 10 doubt
willing even to abridge his own well
deserved popularity if il would dssipate
The gloom and sorrow which rested up
on the Cherokces. Then let every lip
be closed and every pen be dried that
would reflect on that brave and vene-
ated officer for the course he has pur-
sued.

A Paris paper mentions that an IN
surrection had broken out in Malaga,
in which Paleria, the Captain General,
had been massacred, the statement,
however, is generally believed to be
without foundation.
la tho House Of Commons Lord
Ashley, on the goth Of July, brought
forward motion that an address be
presented to the Queen expressing the
regret of the House, that the law for
regulating the labor Of children IN
factories, had been found imperfect

by majority Of fifteen votes against

The select committee Of the House
of Commons on the Post Office, have

Thunderstorms have been general

its vicinity the weather continues beau

ranging from go to 70 degrees of Fab

SCARCITY OF WIVES IN TExAs.-A
correspondent Of the New York Com
mercial Advertiser, writing from Tex
as under date Of 25th July, says -
Our Congress has passed law,
granting bonus Of two thirds Of a
league, or 1909 acres of good land, to
every woman who will marry, during
the present year, any citizen of this
republic who was such at the time of
our declaration ofindependence. The
consequence you may easily imagine.
Every single lady, young or Old, good
looking or ugly, has been sought out
and led TO the altar, and yet nineteen
out oftwenty ofour bachelors are not
only unmarried but uncngaged, altho'
their dispositions are the hest that can
be imagined, and their efforts cores
pondiGg.
a few weeks since family arrived
from Ohio, bringing with them a young
woman as a seryant.-Our young men
took it very mach in dudgeon that so
precious commodity should remain in
situation 50 unbecoming and unpro-
fitable, and accordingly held NEE
ting, at which a considerable sum oil
money vas raised by subscription, with
which the young damseI was placed as
5oarder in respectable family
Then they dubbed together and bought
young mans head right Of 1881
acres, which they presented to her as
dover; and this evening she was
married to a respectable planter, who
receives with her the 2962 acres in ad-
dItion, from the government.
