DREADFUL CONFEDERATION AT SACKET's HARBoR.
We have the following caamitous intelligence
from the Black Riuer Journal, Extra, dug. 81 =
This morning, at half past ten o'clock, the village
OF Ssckers Harbor was visited by most destruc-
tive fire. 1t is supposed to have taken from the
steamer ST Lawrence, which had left the dock
about half an hour previous. II originated IN the
store house of 5 T. Hooker; and as the wind was
very high at the time, The flames spread with fear
ful rapldlty, envelOplng in few moments the
extensive store erected last season by s. T. Hooker
Il Co.. and soon the entire range, as far east the
steamboat office, formerly occupied by VIM. Buck.
ley The fire crossed the street, destroying the
Commercial Hotel and all the interme dia.e build.
lngs between that and the Centre House kept by A
Schuyler, which was saved. The brick building
opposite the Commercial, occupied as saddlers
shop, was also destroyed, and all the buildings on
both sides OF Bavard street TO the Presbyterian
Church. which was also consumed.
The bakery and dwelling house OF J b. Phelps,
ESQ.,, the law office OF ID. N. Burnhs a., several
stores, shops, &c including the tin SHOP OF G. Sy-
monds, the grocery store OF j. Simpson with Sc
veral others, names not recollected. The extensive
veral fine horses. J. t. Phelps, Esq also lest a very
valuable animal, who persisted in the flames. II is
reported that the Custom House is destroyed, and
from its conIguy 10 the origin of the hire, we fear
il may be so, yet from the direction OF the wind at
the time, we hope il is Otherwise.
A young man leaped from an upper story in the
Commercial and was considerably injured. Both
his legs were broken. The amount Of property de-
stroyed must have been very considerable. II is
believed that very small portion OF the property
destroyed, was insured.
Tne report of the destruction of the custom house
is contradicted, as also Of the horses.

AN IMPORTANT PoINT.-The New Orleans Cou-
rer contains caution to the Government OF Mex
leo in regard to a design entertained by Commodore
Boylan to occupy the Island Of Cozumel. under a
rier remarks:-s'Ifitbe true, and should the scheme
of the Commodore be realized, il cannot be doubted
that this island will speedily fall under the domino
ton of Texas, who will thus find herself estab-
ished at the two extremities of the Mexican coast
of the Gull. The importance of this position
whether for commerce, or in time OF war, IS such
that the Mexican Government cannot make TOO
much haste TO take measures in order TO preventi
escaping from her And The Government Of the
United States isperhaps no less interested than Mex
leo, to hinder from passing into the hands OF ma
ton more maritime than Mexico, an island that al
most commands the entrance TO the Gull

the President of the Delaware and Raritan Canal
Company, offers reward of $500 for the apprehen.
sion and conviction of the person or persons who
injured the bank of the Delaware and Raritan Ca
nal, and also the railroad thereon constructed, on
the night of the 10Th. 1t appears that they dug
deep trench from the canal under the railroad, for
the purpose of producing breach in the former and
ipjuring the latter. Their diabolcal attempt was
fortunately discovered in time. 1t Is to be hoped
that they will be arrested and brought to justice.

THE WINGS, AND THE Bombay
ING DEMOCRATS.

IA union of the wings and bond paying dem
ocrats, would result in the entire defeat Of the
party. In what manner can this
union be accomplished National politics must
be for awhile, at beast, laid aside and forgot
ten; and honest wings and honest democrats,
must pledge heart and hand for the redemp-
ton and preservation of the State. When
this great and good work has been finished;
and the Ganls and VandalS driven from the
capitol, we can again fall back into our nation
al lines and do battle with each other on ma
Htional politics. The true and gallant knight
whom accident throws in conjunction with his
adversary, is not less courteous, because the
morning sun may witness their deathlike rem.
countries in the lists.
If there is to be concert ofaction among the
-BOnd-paycrs Of Mississippi, it is tmc thai
some decisive step was taken--nOthing is to
be gained by dependency on the one hand
.or overweening confidence on the other. We
must unite upon principle--and the principles
of our UNION must be plainly understood,so that
no jealousy or dissention exist in our ranks
We must have candidates for State offices
who are in favor of the payment OF all the
bonds issued by the authority of the State
and we must pledge ourselves to the support
Of these candidates with zeal and energy, what
ever may be their prejudices upon national
politics. When reputation has destroyed oul
credit abroad, and stnlen our money at home, it
it is high time that the friends Of Mississippi, j
she. has any, to buckle on their armor, and for
getting all things, rush to the rescue of the
State. Let us, if necessary, forget that we are
members of a great and glorious confederacy
and inscrlbe upon our b1nners, "NississiPp
alone faith and her purity, '.they must be pre-
served let us look upon the National Gov

is endangered by unprincipled debauchees.
