RELIGION IN THE FAMILY.-Family re-
Lyon is Of unspeakable importance. lis
effects will greatly depend upon the mani
fest sincerity of the head of the family. Ir
his children and ,ser wants do not see his
prayers exemplicd in his temper and man
ners, they will be disguised with his religion.
Tediousness will weary them Fine lam
guage will shoot over them. Goominess
will make them dread religion as hard ser
vice Let them be met as for a most de-
lgh,ful service. Let them find it savory,
simple, plain, tender, heavenly. Worship
thus conducted may be used as an engine
Of vast power in a family. 1t diffuses a sym
pahy through the members 1t calls OF the
ming. from the deadening effect of worldly
affairs. 1t arrests every member as with a
morning and evening sermon, "There is a
God! There is spiritual world! There il

sbility in the mind. 1t furnishes tender

FURTHER TICULAR
Of the Great Ere at Pittsburgh.
We have jus, returned from an hours
walk among the ruins Of the disastrous
conhagralion. Frgh!(ul as was the prog
ress oil the flames, and &c ribIe as the havoc
seemed, while i, was going on, no one can
realize the losses and prvauons our citizens
have sustained, until ne walks through The
forest Of naked chimneys, aud broken walls
which mark the path Of the destroying ee-
ment. OF The 1900 houses which were
estimated as the number lost, about TOO
were dwelling, and Ne suppose at last 40uO
persons hive been thrown out OF house
and home. Fortunately the weather,
though some what cool, has been dry, and
thus the remo,al of property was less
difficult, and the suff'erngs Of those who
had to remain exposed lie the air, less
severe than they would otherwise have
been.
The whole length of,he burnt dstrc, is
about one mile; the average breadth about
100 yards; making an area Of about 60
acres.
We mentioned that one woman, Mrs
Books, was burned in her house, in Third
street. We have heard Of no olhe. loss of
life, thong fears are entertained for Sam
uel Kingston, Esq, and Mr.. John Johnston,
Of Allegheny city, who have not been seen
by their friends since the fire Their rela-
lives had heard nothing Of them up to last
evening. 1t is most surprising iha, so few
persons should have been killed or injured,
when we recall the swift progress OF the
flames, and the terrible confusion which
was caused by the efforts of the people 10
save their property-caris, cars, drays
wagons, and every sort Of vehicle was put
in requis;ion and was driven through the
streets at fearful speed. Before our office
the vehicles were often damned together in
a way which seemed to render certain los
SEES of life or limb-yet no accident occurred.
Yesterday the vaults Of the Bank Of
Pittsburgh were opened, and the books, pa
pers and money were found almost unln-
jured. The iron safes Of Mr.. A. Kramer,
and Sibbei and Jones, Brokers, were also
opened, and all their contents were we'll
preserved.
Already are men busy at work in recov-
ering from the ruins, Iron, and other arli-
Giles worth digging out; and we saw many
busy with halchets cutting the plaster from
the fallen bricks, preparatory TO rebuilding!
Such indomiable energy is worthy Of all
il is a prominent trait in the
character OF our citizens, and gives cheer
ing evidence that We shall soon regain our
in spite of the terrible calamity
we have endured.

ELECTIONS a recent election for
Governor and Members of Congress in Con-
necticut, the wings have carried every thing,
as they always do when there is nothing at
stake, and as they never do when there is
every thing at stake. Particulars are USE
less.
Per contra, in New York city the demo-
Gratis have carried every thing. For Mayor,
Ilavemeycr, dem, received 24,206 votes I;
Harper, native, II $40; and Selden, wing,
6,966. The wings, il appears, still cling TO
Natlveism to great extent nevertheless,

tiveism in New York; and that parties will

Nativeism has gone the road of third party
demagougeism.

ing result, however, is that of the election of
Jackson, the Dor-lberaton candidate for
Governor in Rhode Island. Although the
prosecutors of Dorr have still majority in
the Assembly, yet the election of Jackson
shows conclusively the public feeling, aud
indicates the speedy triumphant liberalon of
Dou. Dorr will enjoy an enyiahle fame,

NV GOVERNOR Polk is
proving himself exactly the man we took
him for. We thought from the very start
hat demagogucs and truckers would find
very little favor in his eyes. We estima-
ted him a Democrat of the straight UP
and down school-not a trucking creature
of exped;ency of prevarication, of whiting
and change; and so estimating him we took
il for granted he would not tolerate it in
others. SO his course thus far has pro-
we'd. Tylerism,by which mean demagogue-
ism, has found no favor with him. By our
New York papers we see it stated that N.
P. Tallmadge has been removed as Cover
nor of Wisconsin, and Gen. Dodge appoin-
ted in his stead. This will be source of
universal qualification. Men of all parties
in this territory will approve of it; the Dem
ocrats, of course, that such bastard Democ
racy has been repudiated; the wings, that
the man who has betrayed and deceived
them for the sake Of office, has met his re-
ward And qualification from that source
will be heightened by the consideration
that the Office. in the change, has fallen in
to excellent hands.
