THR CrslRSARr OF PRINTINe.-SomC
four or five wears ago we remember 10 have
read an account Of the celebration, at Ed
inburrh, Scotland. of the four hundredth
anniversary of the Discovery of the Art OF
Printing in which Campbell, Rogers,
and many other distinguished personages
participated. We thought then that the
festival wss observed IN advance of the ap-
propris,e iime, and pamphlet published
soon after by German antiquarian con-
firmed onr belief and pointed 10 the sum
msr Of 1870 a. the true anniversary. We
are glad 10 find that the glorious event is
this wear to be appropriately commemora-
ted in several parts of Europe and America.
Al Leipsic, the centre of the literary world
the 24ih, s5;h and sSih of June have been
desi igu&ied as the time, and several eminent
writers are engaged on odes, oratlons and
histories, prelaratery TO the celebration.

We believe that preparations are making in
London also for an appropriate observance
Of the centcLary.
The printers of Boston, we see, are fol-
lowing the example of their European
brethren. Their societies have appointed
the necessary committees, and they vii
doubtless worthily commemorate the disco
very. We hope similar measures will be
adopted in this city. Col. Stone of the

u point in degradation where II ls compel.

succession of violent, inhomatory har-
angues, far better suited to the columns Of

between Messrs. Wise and Hopkins with
respect to a certain manifesto or circular

disciplining the Militia. ltsrems that the
accuracy Of Its quotations had been denied,
and Mr.. Wise challenged any Member TO
point out any error therein. Mr.. Hopkins
did not take up the gauntlet, but complain
ed that portion OF the circular marked
"unofflcial" was not sufficiently distn-
guished, and appeared to be also copied
from official documents. Here the matter
seemed to drop, and Mr.. Saltonstall wds
about resuming. when it appears that Mr..
Bynum, in passing near the scut of Mr.. Il.
Garland, made some severe remarks in nn
undertone on the conlroverted circular.
Mr.. Garland was one Of the signers of the
circular, and resented the remarks of Mr..
b. Hasty words instantly passed between
them, the lie was given by MIR. Bynum, and
in moment Mr.. Garland had seized him
by the throat! Several blows we're cx-

made several attempts to stab Mr.. G. the

they were seized by Messrs Evans of Me.

Pontiac IN ASHES 1--we hasten to an
nounce the heart .rcnding intelligence thai
our late floufishing village is now one al
most universal heap of ruins!
The fire broke out about noon IN the Ex-
change, formerly occupied by Burlington,
corner of Saginaw snd Lawrence streets.
The wind was blowing fresh from the west.
1t was soon found impossible TO save the
building. An effort was then made to pre-
vent the fire from reaching the opposite side
of the street: this was soon found mpossi-
bic, the wind freshened.- THE fire first
caught on the east ride of Saginaw ST., we
believe, in the building occupied by Messrs.
Marsh und IIenGricksou. 1t soon commu-
nicated to those Oh each side.
The flames, from both sides of Saginaw
street now mingled into one, presenting n
vast and uninterrupted sheet from one side
to the other, rnd reaching far over to the
east, consuming every thing in its course
The spectacle at this period was truly aw-
full and sublime!
On the west side, every thing was swept
clean down to the building, corner of Sag
innw ana Pike streets; on the east, every
thing 10 Pike street--about 25 buildings
in I'll, besides barns and other out houses!
and this in the very heart and business
of the Place. The property destroyed is
immense; which with the buildings, can
not make the entire loss less than $4,000
dollars !'--perhups greater. Every one ac-
ted with commendable coolness. The la
dies " ho iurned'ou: and carried buckets. sc.
are worthy ofall praise. No time for fur
iher particulars.

no greater. The cause is clearly attribu-

are assured on good authority, that this ma
