FIRE


Ii ia unpleasant duty to record q second Sc.
loss which our town has snstained the presen,
season, in the destruction BY Ere Of the Globe Tav-
ern. Ga Tuesday morning last abort half past |
O'Clock our citizens were awakened BY The cry Of
FIRE, which was found to proceed From the roof Of
Mr.. kroesen's hotel. Almost Immediately after
the FIRE discovered the greater part of the root
was wrapped 10 aanes which spread very rapidly,
owing to the combGstibie nature Of the badng,-
Fortunately, the night was clear and calm, for
had a wind been prevailing in any direction num-
Der Of the finest dwellings in town mast have been
destroyed. By great exsrtions Of our citizens and
hremes, two contiguous buildings, the Drug store
Of Mr.. Dorsey and the dwelling OF Mr.. Doll, were
saved, though both we're in imminent danger for a
long time, and Mr.. Dolls considerably injured
We ure glad to state that great par, OF MI. kfoe
sens furniture was saved. He was insured for
$4,000, which will 60 far towards repairing his
loss. How the ERE originated is not known. The
place in which the sre undoubtedly commenced. in
the garnet, induced the supposition that it was the
work of an iaeendary, thoogh 1t was probably an
accident.
The Globe was one Of the odes, hotels in town.
and one Of the best kept establishments in the
Union. When we saw the fine large building which
stood there the day before, a heap Of smosldering
ruins, and the sign left unscsthel by the flames
standing solitary and alone, could not help
pressing the hope that the time would not be dis
tant when the Globe would rise from its ashes, and
again grace the public square Of town, as it has
heretofore done, both handsome building and
fine hotel. The liveliest sympsthes Of our citi-
excited in behalf of M. Kroesen as this is
the second heavy los. be has sustained. he having
suffered similar misfortune, some years since in
the destruction by fire. Of stable and some valus-
BILE horses.
The most indefatigable exertions we're made by
the fire company and citizens generally, the ladies
particularly for the preservation of all property
that was exposed 70 danger.

The TREATY-SIGNED AND ON ITS
WAy.-The New York Commercial Of
Thursday evening says The Grea,
Western is fortunate ship! We have
said in subsequent article, previously
written, that the treaty between the Unit
ed States and Great Britain would prob.
ably be communicated to the Senate in
all this week. 1t affords us unfeiQned
happiness, however, to say, that the trca /.
ty has BEEN signed by the Ministers 10
whom its negotiation was wisely confded,
and was communicated to the Senate on
Tuesday. We are also enabled to add.
farther, that Captain Wright, one OIL.
B. Ms special messengers, IS on board
the Great Western, and is the bearer Of
a copy of the treaty, complete and requi.

governments. Captain Wrightiett Wash.

INDIANA ELECTION.

Letters to members Of Congress from
Indiana, II is stated in the Globe, assert
that the Election IN that State has result
ed IN favor oil the Opposition, while other
letters, equally to be relied on, assert the
contrary. The election will be very
close one.
The CenteYvile Record of the 10Th
instant gives returns from 40 counties in
that State, and says they are not all off.
cial, but il is generally believed they are
mostly correct. 1t is more than likely
that The State has gone for The Democ rats.
Supineness has characterized the Wings
in the lato election. ln this county,
though we succeeded in electing our Rep.
resentatives, yet not less than eight hun.
dred Wings remained a, home on the
the day ofelecton.
KENTUCKY ELECTION.
The Maysvllle Eagle ofihe 9th instant
says The news from the various Coun-
ties is most cheering, and we have now
little doubt OF the triumph Of the Anti Re
let party. The destructive measure Of
the mlscalled relief party has been, We
hope, forever crushed.
ILLINOIS ELECTION.
We find the following in the New York
Tribune ave have few returns from
just around Chicago. The Locds prevail
in Cook county OF course, by about 600
majority. Gin 1910. Van Buren, over

FAUouIER WnITE SULPHUR SPRINGS

FAUouIER WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS.
A correspondent, now at these Springs,
writes US that he has been at nearly all
the springs in Virginia, and that none Of
them equal this establishment for It's su-
perior buildings, and that it is unsurpass-
ed, if equalled, by any Of them in its &C.
commodations-the beauty of the place -
its table, and the order and decorum of
its managers, and the company. He says
"the grounds are much improved since
last year, the water, in my opinion, al.
though not so strong as some other sulphur
springs, is equal in lis effects, and much
more pleasant TO the taste. Protested
gamblers are excluded from the premises
---clergymen are boarded free of charge,
who give US not only services on the Sab.
bath, but prayers morning and evening to
those who please to attend. There is al
so superior band OF music, and the most
splendid ball room perhaps in Virginia.
"There is now, (30th July,) so board.
ers, and more daily arrlving.--Richmond

The Madisonian is the mos. unfortunate

National Administration ever had. 1t in.
ours the ridicule of friend and foe alike.
The New York Commercial Advertiser,
which is friendly 10 the Administration,
has been giving some severe lessons to
the Madisonian Editor. The birch is laid

he is encased in rhinoceros hide Rich.

We have rumors from Washington a
gain, of probable changes in the Cabinet.
All the present members will retire, it is
said, with the exception Of MIR. Legare
and Mr.. WicklitIe. Gov. Marcy, Mr..
Muhlenberg, Mr.. Gushing, Mr.. Sewer,
and one or two other persons are talked
ofas the new members. Madame Rumor,
however, has told so many stories OF
changes in the Cabinet, that she is now
listened to with much caution. Bul il is
more than probable, that Mr.. Webster
will withdraw the moment he gets through
his negotiations with Lord Ashburton. -
