The schooner Josephine, Captain Suares, arrived
yesterday from Arkansas bay. The troops were all
In good health and spirits. The dysentery, Ia a

A amentable accident occurred on the 2Sth, the
day the Josephine sailed, which deprived the SER

schooner .4ugusia, while coming alongside tho brig
Pocahontas, got her op-mast afoul in the rigging Of
the latter. The mast breaking and coming down,

lmPoRrANT FROM HArr-By the arrival at New
York of the brig Huutress, from Port au Platte,
whence she sailed on the Path ut., the Herald has
received the following importan, intelligence II ap-
pears that Dominican feet of FIVE sail left Port au
Platte on the 10Th, to attack Cape Hayti. About
1000 troops were also despatched by land to attack
the same place A decree had been issued by Pres
idcnt Santa Ana, Of the Dominican part Of the
island, previous to the sailing Of Captain Baker, to
compel all foreign residents, including Americans, to
take up arms and to act as civic guard They, Of
course, protested against such a procedure; which
protest was Immediately sent TO the President, but
no answer had been received. This decree was is
sued last summer, but not enforced or attempted
make the following extracts:
cart. 6. Strangers who, according to the 18th
article of the constitution, are admitted within the
territory Of the republic, will likewise form part
Of the civic guard three months after their resi-
dencc in the country" isAasSE
"Art. 30. To maintain the subordination and
discipline which 10 indispensable in whatever body
of troops it is declared that the civic guard, once
the move and in active service, the officers OF
whatsoever grade they may be, sergeants, corporals
and soldiers, will be subject to the punishment es-
fablished by the ordinance ofthc army, which shall
be read the most infinitely possible on the days
of reviews, or when they find themselves under
arms"
"Ar. 40. The officers and soldiers Of the civic
guard on active service, will be soldiers, and re-
ceive rations like the rest of the standing army
without any distinction"
It will be necessary for our government to see
that Americans are not forced into any foreign ser.
vice, especially that of Hayii or Dominica.

The "New York Albion" of Saturday last says
sour files by the Cunard steamer, at Boston, give us
one week later intelligence. The news is Of the
same political cast heretofore. The failure Of the
crops, not only in Great Britain, but throughout the
continent Of Europe, is daily becoming more APP

visions; so, also, is Russia 1t is most fortunate
for the Old World tina, the crops have turned out SO
well in the New. Many suppose that the duties on
Indian corn, rice, and other cheaper articles Of foed
will be RENTED in the course Of the spring. Some
of the English papers speak Of existing warlike
preparations As far as our observation goes, they
are ola defensive kindsuch Notifications on the
channel coast and the construction of large steam

with the necessity Of retaining the rightfu portion
of the Oregon territory, and for this right the nation
will, if necessary, 60 to war; but we see no war
like preparations that seem directed to Oregon, be-
cause the government and people Of England cannot
be persuaded that the United States will pertina-

Extract Of q lsiier, dated

BOSTON, November ., lE45.
We are upon the eve of our State elections and
regret TO say that dissension unfortunately prevails
in both parties, to extent that have seldom seen
in any election, fraught our State elections are
with an importance beyond the limits of our own
commonwealth.
| am well aware that the prevalent opinion
abroad is, that Massachusetts, 10 as firmly bound to
the of federalism WINS the shirt of Nessus to
his back; that here the wealth Of the manufacturer
is uncrringly cxerted to thwart all of correct opn-
on,, that otherwise would be exercised for the
greatest good Of the greatest number.
This is, in part, too true for denial; and yet the
honest-hearted yeomanry of our State is AZ pure as
democratic and as true 10 the advancement Of cor
rect results, the citizens of the Granite State
There are causes beyond all those which the rich
capitalists urge, that trouble and vex the democ
racy ofths State much than the influence Of the
former, however active it may Re. There 10 here
no want Of confidence in the Executive of the nation
mo want Of confidence among the homes, men Of
the party, in any one Of his appointees; but there
are those whose ambitious views have not been re-
allied in receiving for themselves places Of honor
and trust. Now, among this class, there are, no
doubt those who deserve well Of the party for their
own efforts in s behalf, and who should never have
suffered their own grievances to influence their po-
cal course.
Massachusetts has, in times past, through her
democracy, done much to cheer the hopes Of the
Responding in other States; and she can and will do
uaRaIn butY III orucr 10 accomplish ", nef sons must
grid on the whole armor of the party laying aside
all chickering's and heart-burnings and come united
ly to tho work. Then will she accomplish what
she effected under Gov. Morton-thc overthrow Of
federalism
From congressional district No. 9, (late Will
liamss) Col Pcrcc will eventually be elected; and
more thorough democrat or honest and capable
man, will not find seat in the House of Represent
atives.
That any election will be made of governor by
the people, lie not anticipated; and the chances arc
that this city will not be represented in the House
the coming winter.
Notwithstanding the position of the party here
there is much to encourage US, even in the coming
election. If our own friends are somewhat divided
il lie consolation to know that our opponents are
none the less so. What with whigery and naiiv-
ism, they are in bad fix
When we carried the State under our most pop
ulsr leader, Governor Morton, the wings were uni
ted, and, with all their strength, Marcus Morton
was twice elected governor Of the Stnte.

ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE FIRE! BE-
TWEEN 70 AND 80 HOUSES DESTROY
ED.
Last evening between and o'clock, fire
broke out in the stable OF Samuel Young, mmedl-
ately back of 7th street extending along Fountain
to Washington street down to Poplar alley, and be-
fore it could be subdued between 70 and 80 dwell
lings, and other houses were consumed
No doubt, we understand, is entertained, but this
fire was the work of an incendary, as there was no
other means by which it could have originated, in
the stable.
The amount of property destroyed, isnot large;
but falls upon class that are not able to bear it,
The dwellings destroyed were mostly occupied by
working people, and small stores, and saved but lit
lie in the general CONSERVATION that prevailed
Fortunately the evening was calm and there was
no wind to carry the flames beyond the neighbor-
hood where they originated. II it had been other
wise the calamity might have been almost as des-
tructve as the fire of the 10th Of April.
Much praise is due to our energetic fremen for
their indefatigabe exertons in staying the progress
OF the flames.

argument that high tariff reduces prices, for us
to believe.
We conclude E,r this week BY saying, that i Is
not because we have any sympathy with the hrge
capitalists of the canal counties that we oppose the
present law; but because we believe the law Is un-
equal and unjust IN its operations, and that it fa-
vors the large capitalists of the west and south
west portions of the Sta:e, while it comes down
with heavy hand upon the traders, in the eastern
part of Ohio. And we can assure Col. Medary
and other Of the democratic editors Of Ohio, who
have taken a staud against this law, that we will
fight with them shoulder to shoulder against it,not-

INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY.

1t would seem that our wig friends
are induIging in stronger sympathy and
louder lamentations than is altogether
meet and proper at the present time,
over the fact that the Carlisle Bank is 10
be wound up, the stockholders n OF choo.
sing TO accept the act of the last Legis.
lature extending its charter, because ii
contained a provision enforcing the
principle of individual liability. The
capital of this bank is $25O,00o, and
because our present able Executive has
taken a bold and manly stand in favor
of personal liability in the charters OF
all similar institutions, he is charged
with driving that amount of capital ou,
of the State, to add to the wealth ol
some Of our neighbors. Let this be as
it may-and We by no means admit its
truth-how much better is it, as the
stockholders refuse 10 become respon-
sible for their issues, that the bank
should wind up its affairs while it can,
than TO 90 on as did the bank of st.
Clair, expanding its circulation and fin
ally exploding with more than a mil
lion dollars OF its worthless issues in the
hands Of the tax payers Of the common
wealth, for if the bank of St. Clair, res
ting under no restrictions and fearing
no penalties, could put in circulation
half million upon capital Of $780,.
900. similar institution with a capital
Of S250,000, could. if the exigencies Of
the case demanded it, increase its cir.
culation to million and quarter
But, il is believed that other and stron.
ger reasons, than those set forth, innu.
enced the stockholders in rejecting the
just and equitable provisions of the
charter offered them. The fair pre-
sumption is that the bank has not the
amount of its capital paid in, and thai
its circulation is already more or less
inflated. At all events our banking
capitals much too large for any true
friend Of n safe and sound currency tc
regret the demise Of this institution
and no attempt at panic-making Cal
change the true policy Of Pennsylvania
in relation 10 the salutary principle Q
individual liability.
