FIRE AT RUTLAND.

On the night of the 18th instant, the Tavern
and out-buildings Of Mr.. Warner, the Store and
Dwelling. House Of James Porter, and Store
aud dwelling. house owned by r. r. Thrall, ESQ.
situated on the east side Of Main street, oppo.
site the Episcopal church, and near the centre
Of East Rutland village, were entirely destroyed
by fire. The particulars, as we learned them
from an eye witness, are, that the fire origina-
ted in the barn, in the rear of Mr.. Warmers
Tavern, which soon communicates to the house
and other buildings. It was first discovered
about quarter before IL o'clock. Great exer.
lions were made by the citizens to arrest TIC
progress Of the fire, and for time it was sup.
posed impossible to save any Of the buildings
on the ea st side Of Main street. The stores Of
I. Daniels, D. r. Bell, James Barrett jr, Geo.
i. Hodges, - Robbins, the franklin Hotel, and
several offices, were principally cleared Of their
contents. BY the prompt and efficient aid Of the
citizens accompanied with two engines, the
progress OF the flames was arrested on the south
at MIR. Daniels store, and on the North at the
house of Mrs. Butler. Considerable property
besides the buildings was destroyed, among
which were Jour horses one Of them a valua-
Bile horse belonging to Stephen Dow, Of Leces-
ter, one owned by traveller, and two belong.
ing to Mr.. Warner. The loss was estimated
at from ten to fifteen thousand dollars. We
have not lcsoDed the amount insured.
The fire is supposed to have been the work
OF an incendiary, as there had been no fire about
the barn for several days.-Voice Of Freedom.

The democracy of the country will experience the

thoroughly carried out. We have hitherto constant.

The above from the Washington Journal

stamp-will carry consolation 10 the hearts
of those patriots who are anxiousy waiting
for the old shoes of the ancient and honora.
Die incumbents. There are other evidences
of move by the new President, for his own
benefit, and we perceive the evidences of a
little sensation in this quarter. Mr.. Secre-
tary Walker has addressed the following cir
cuar 10 each of the heads of bureaus in his
department:
"sIn-You will furnish me without delay, with The
names of all the Clerks in your office; their compen-
salon. and the date of their commission"
This is regarded as preparatory to new
application Of the rotary system, and one
rumor assigns twelve years as the term agreed
upon in cabinet council. at which official con-
nexon with the government ought to cease,
while another authority cuts it down 10 eight
NEITHER of which periods would interfere
with the Tyler oficeholders in this sta,e.-
So we think there is no occasion for alarm
here. The truth is. Polk is putting in for
another election. An article in the Rich.
mond Enquirer breaks ground on this sub
Jeci, and urges the necessity of his cleo ton
TO save the party from the ruinous rivalry of
Calhoun and Van Buren,; and the official
paper at Washington, we observe, puts back
the soft impeachment but very kindly. A
rule Of this kind would enable Mr.. Polk to
put aside many of the influential old friends
OF his rivals, without noise, and make places
for those upon whom he could rely. Those
of recent appointment, can he more easily
impressed with the necessity of avoiding a
breakup IN the party, and we shall soonisee
almost entire unauimily among the Office
holders in favor of Folks reelection. If
there should be few obstinate cases, the
"second section" will supercede the rule, and
no words made.
But we presume they will all be cautious
how they abuse Mr.. Van Buren,. Van Ness
tried that. When Vans fortunes waned, no
stood aloof-when defeated in the nomina.
ton, he ventured to exult, and say hard
things-and when Polk was elected, swung
his hat and considered all as safe. But alas |!
Hardly had the new administration got into
power before Van Ness fel. the long arm of

CONVICTION FOR MURDER.

HENRY G. GREEN, who has been on trial
for some days past at Troy, N. Y. for the
murder of his wife in September last, has
been convicted and sentenced to be execu-
ted on the 10Th September next. The case
seems to have been one of unmitigated afro
city. 1t appears that he commenced dosing
her with arsenic only four days after his
marriage, and followed it up from day to day
till he accomplished his fell purpose. She
seems to have been aware that she was be-
trayed, and few hours before her death, in
presence of Green, made disclosures to those
around her, and called upon him to state il
she had dishonored him, or in any way given
provocaton for the perfdy. He gave her a
full acquittal, and of course denied the facts;
but they were fully substanciaed on the trial,
as well as others, which she was proceeding
to relate when death sealed her lips.

THE COLLECTORSHIP.

The St. Adams Messenger saws there is
quite a stir in that quarter on this subject,
and we infer from what we see and hear
that there is quite rush for the office, since

pie. The Messenger gives the following, as
the complexion Of the contes, in that region !:

The PorAToE BLIGHr.-It appears BY the
following article from the last number of the
Massachusetts Spy that symptoms of this dis
ease are already making their appearance.
ut grieves us to say that the blight which
caused such destruction to the potatoe crop last
year has thus early commenced its ravages the
present season. We have examined a field
belonging to Gov Lincoln, which we are assur-
ed exhibited perfectly healthy appearance on
the Sd inst. On the. 9Th. portions of the vines
showed indications of disease, and on the 7lh,
about one half of them were more or loss shriv-
elled, many of them shrunk to one half of their
former dimensions. and some OF the leaves al
ready turned brown ana~esrty dry. The pota-
toes were of the red variety, sometimes called
the peach blows. The seed was selected, and
in fine and apparently healthy state. We
opened one Of the hills most affected with the
disease. and found the seed still sound and ap.
parently healthy. Some ofthe new set potatoes
were about the size Of robins egg, and looked
well. So far as we observed, the disease ap.
peared to commence at the upper part of the

CONFEDERATION IN NETWORK.

The details Of this appalling disaster en-.
gross our columns to-day. II is now beiived
that the terrific explosion, which impaired
such destructive energy to the flames, was
caused by gun-powder. We hear from
several sources that there was a large
quantity Of this article, from forty to SIXTY
kegs, stored in the warehouse where the
explosion took place II was 10 have been
shipped, as we understand, for some foreign
port, but the vessel sailing Unexpectedly
the powder was brought 10 the store and
there deposited. A young man who saw
the carman driving his load to the store re-
monstrated with the owners on the subject,
and spoke of the danger of accommodating SO
large quantity of gunpowder in crowded
part Of the city. Blu, he was told, in reply,
to mind his own business" On Saturday,
after the fire, he was offered a large sum Of
money by these same owners il he would
keep this circumstance secret. He rejected
the offer. and Immediately went to the May.
or and made affidavit to the facts, where.
upon the owners we're forthwith arrested.
Such is the story as we gather it from gen.
,leman of this city who was in New York
at the time of the fire. As regards the main
fact. Of there being powder in the store, j,
is confirmed by other accounts. 1t will be
fearful thing for these owners, il it shall
turn out that in fragrant defiance of city
ordinance they had stored in their premise.

than they can now purchase at. This, howev.

tanned in this opinion BY some Of the most eminent
practical Railroad men IN New England,
We are the more PECULIARLY eratified IN making
this announcement, from the fact, 'ha, from the first
commencement OF this work, down to the present
hour we have had to encounter spirit Of opposition
that never hesitated 10 soop to any oct, however
unfair or ungenerous that would seem TO give pro-
mise 10 defeat or retard US.
II is well known to you all that for certain causes
the Legislative policy of this State has for some wears
past until quite recently been opposed to the intro
ducilon or further extension of works of this dectip
lion within the borders of the state. To bring about
revolution Of this unwise policy, was then the first
all-important step to be performed. Il was done |!
ana the friends of the Northern Railroad were the
advance guard F" that effected it. Others, coming
forward at the hour of victory, have endeavored to
decry our efforts, and appropriate to themselves the
benefits that should come to ". They must fail in
the attempt Sooner than any other, will the shril
scream of our engines be heard from the West banks

other road will ever reach your natural outlet, the

begun by our fathers many years ago2 In the early
stages OF this work you came forward. and spoke
words full OF encouragement and by yeur counsels
you made sIrong our hearts and hands 10 carry
ward this great undertaking II since then, when
looking upon the contest in which we have so long
been engaged there have been moments of doubt,
when You have almost succumbed to despair, when
you thought that we Jagged in our endeavors TO
achieve triumph, in the result of which you felt 50
deep an interest," be assured that for moment
have we lost sight Of the great object to be attained
and though al times We may have moved more slow.
