THE PlrrsRuRG FIRE. We have little to
add to the particulars already published. The
Pittsburg Chronicle, whose Office was destroy
ed by the fire, again made its appearance on
Monday, and contains pretty full list OF the
sufferers, the most prominent of which we pub
lished the same day. The Councils OF the city
have requested the Mayor to appoint tomorrow
as day of humiliation, fasting and prayer
The Chronicle says:
Several persons are missing, who are sup
posed to have been burnt to death by the fire
OH Thursday A man by the name of johnson
is supposed to have been burnt up, or suffocated
by the smoke, in the cellar of the building oc-
cupied by 2. M'Kenna, auctoneer. Mrs. Su-
san Brooks, washerwoman, on Third street,
was certainly burnt to DEATH as some of her
bones have been dug out of the ruins of the
house where she resided. Samuel Kingston
Esq has been missing since the fire. When
last seen, he was in his dwelling house on Sc
cond street MIR. George Beale, on the corner
of Market and Second streets, states that one
of his servant girls is missing, and he is afraid
that she was burnt to death by the fire.
The area of ground comprised in the burnt
district, according to report of the Recording
Regulator, made to the City Councils, is fifty
six acres.
A committee, appointed by the Councils for
the purpose, reported the estimated value of
real and personal property destroyed at be-
tween three and four millions This did not
include the value of personal property belong
ing 10 individuals who were not house-holders,
and it was stated by the committee themselves
that the estimate was supposed to be far too
small, but within the limited time given them
they had reported all the facts which they could
collect.

For the American Republican J

.Messrs. Editors The American Of the 18th
inst says-"The Mayors veto upon the Rail
Road bill, which had passed both branches of
the City Council, has caused much regret
among our citzens;' and he gives our patriotic
and truly Baltimorc-spirlted Mayor a direct
slap, by saying that "his reasons, however
plausibly set forth, do not appear to possess
much weight"
Who are the citizens so full of regret? As
for our part we must say, that we have not
met with them on the North side of the Basin;
at the same time, we candidly acknowledge,
that we have not fallen in with any of the
large property holders of the South side. 1t is
possible, aye, probable too, that the editors of
the American may, like ourselves, have only
met one side, and that the latter side.
But look at the compound concentrated ex-
tract of wisdom! What says he? That the
arguments of the Mayor don't possess much
weight.
The American, in his next sentence, gra-
ciously forbears to analyze the Mayors reasons.
Not having done so, he can hardly be admitted
as a competent witness. We think that his
assertion and admission are sufficient to prove
him incompetent to pronounce judgment, be-
cause he admits that he has judged without re-
| Election.
We are fully aware that the facilities pro-

not asked with view to increase the dividends
of the Rail Road CO.; but we are not so sure
that they were not intended to increase the dipi-
deads of the ,oire-pullers. As to the trade con-
templated, it is sure to Baltimore, despite of
the canal; and all arguments on this head are
ink and paper at discount.
We really would like to know aoko author
ICED the American to threaten Us with the out
side route, or in plain English, the GERRY
| Branch Depot" This is not the first time we
have heard this threat
The coal and iron dealers, he says, have had
this route under consideration for some time
Who were they' Now, we know that those
dealers or agents whose companies are in &C
tive operation, or about to commence forth
with, have had the Canton depot under consde-
ration, and had not the vetoed bill been
brought up, would have Gin one instance at
least) closed their contract and commenced
their wharf before this.
Talking too, of our driving the company be-
vond the city limits, too. Why man, we are try
ing TO Keep the horse in his masters stalti' In
short, we are trying to keep the Road amongst
its owners-the tax payers OF the present city
of Baltimore.
MIR. American, please give assertions, facts
and reasons in the same connection. Depend
upon it, that we will have reasons hereafter, for
the people are doing some of the thinking as
we'll as the South Baltimore spectators.
