Army Movements.

The Red River Republican of the 18th inst, after
announcing that Brigadier General Taylor, Ccmman-
der of the troops at Fort Jesup, and Col. Twiggs,
who Is attached to the command, passed that place on
the 18th inst, in the steamboat De Soto, on their way
to New Orleans, and that there was a rumor that the
troops at Fort Jesup were under marching orders,
says
at is likely the troops will move Southwark some
time IN July. The second regiment of Dragons,
which forms an important part Of the command, was
endorsed some years ago, but was remounted BY the
last Congress, and we understand that 600 fine horses
have been purchased for it, and a part of them have
already arrived. The force at present at the fort, con-
sisting of seven companies of the third infantry and
eight of the fourth infantry, are shortly to be ~reinfor-
ced by two more companies of the third infantry from
Fort Leavenworth.

Terrible Fire an ouebec.

A very destructive fire occurred in Quebec on the
18th ult. A large portion of the city was reduced to
ashesi and ten thousand persons made houseless. The
fire was still raging at the last accounts and there
fore, full particulars have not been received:
From Quebec Letter, Mdy 90, p. M
"The Quebec Gazette will not be published to-day,
the hands being all absent at the fire which occurred
at Mr.. Richardson's Tannery in Valers suburbs
about noon, and has already spread over nearly St.
Roch Suburbs. A population of about ten thousand
souls will be without house or home tonight, having
lost almost every thing, so rapidly were the flames
driven by a strong westerly wind among houses most
ly of wood.
In one hour all the streets on the right toward the
city were consumed, as far as the Queens Wood
Yard, including the block of houses on the south, and
as far as Clearihue's bakery. Half an hour more and
st. Charles street. north and south, st. Paul's Market
and the square were consumed, the fire extending TO
Mr.. McCullum's brewery, including Lloyd g. Lep-
per's, Dining g. Cos, and McCallum's wharves.
AT half past four the fire continued TO rage, the
wind blowing from the northeast-the houses inside
the Palace Gate, including the Engineers Office, Ar
tlllery barracks, in imminent dsHger-the powder
magazine by no means safe, and burning shingles
being blown into st. John street.
We have not heard of any lives being lost, but the
misery which must ensue from so dreadful a calami.
ty-of the extent of which we are still ignorant
cannot be exaggerated.

on ohf table, and which we haze had time only to
casually examine. 1t might be supposed that Ken
dalls Santa Fe sketches embraced all that could be
said on the subject; but this in no way i~nterferes
with that. 1t is written in a pleasing off-hand style,
and contains much interesting intelligence in addition
to the iournalized facts connected with the expedition.

Senator rIcDume.

We are panied to learn, says the Washington
Constitution, that Senator McDutie has been stricken
down by paralysis. BY this visitation he has been
deprived of speech and of motion, and the powers Of
a mind amongst the most brilliant and solid that has
ever graced our public councils, are Frustrated and
almost destroyed. 1t would be some solace if there
was the least reason to hope that he could recover
from this extreme prostitution, but all who have wit
messed the complete wreck of the physical man, and
the shattered condition Of his nervous energies,
within the last few years, will at once deem this
almost impossible,

Fire..

The alarm of fire yesterday noon proceeded from a
partial burning of P. K. Landis's brick house on Hi
nois ST., south, occupied by JOS. Collins. 1t originat-
ed from a flaw in the chimney; and was speedily ex-
tinguished by the e~xertions of those in the vicinity.
The Old Good Intent was on hand as usual, "arm-
ed and equipped" There were a few delinquents
circumstance which we hope not to be oblige to
record again. 1t is somewhat uncertain where the
other engine was-probably from the fact that so few
bells sounded the alarm. They're good though, when
they do come.

Still

On Sunday night and Monday morning last, we
were blessed with fine copious showers, which were
very much needed. From several sections where
drought has prevailed a few weeks past, we hear
accounts of seasonable rains. We have no doubt
that we shall have an abundant harvest except in
grass, which, in central Indiana, viii almost totally
fail. From strict inquiry, we see no cause of CON-
plant and would advise all to look at the bright side
of things.

MOLLY DoNE.-The Cincinnati Enquirer says that
the DC, LOCO dollars donation from the State of Penn
sylvania to the Pittsburgh sufferers by fire, has been
refused by the city, and that it will be returned TO the
State Treasury. For this denial the people should be
honored. The precedent that would have been estab-
lished by its acceptance would have been productive
of incalculable mischief; whereas now, a different
example has been set which will hereafter plead its
influence whenever any similar private demand shall
be made upon the public revenues. The whole amount
of private donations, thus far, is about $l32, 600
not much more than a hundredth part Of the loss.

Tobacco---Ne Plus Ultra.

Who does not love good tobacco! We profess TO
be somewhat of a judge and we are also of the opin-
ion of a celebrated Roman Tobacco chewer, that a
good article is far less injurious than a poor one, even
if it ought not to be considered a benefit. Therefore,
10 those who wish to test our judgment, or who are
willing to try a good article, we would say, give the
celebrated Golden Leaf a trial. 1t can be had at DIR.

AmaIgamation.

The following is extracted from an account Of the pro-
ceedings of one of the Abolition societies, which re-
Gently held its anniversary meeting in the city OF
New York. 1t is but one specimen of the gross ia
naticism and folly generally manifested.
After the report, James c. Jackson, of Madison
county, (white,) followed, in defence of the system
of running slaves, arguing their perfect right so to do,
and the great criminality of all who should refuse to
succor a fugitive, or to encourage those now slaves to
run away. He protested against sending these slaves
to Canada better, said he, keep them here. The
doctrines of Dudley Selden in relation to the good
effects Of crossing the blood of Americans with Eu-
ropeans he endorsed in all respects, and adopted with
relation to the blacks. We want them, he continued,
to cross and to improve our breed. 1--WE are not
more than half men-we want negro blood to make
men of US" and thus to elevate ourselves to the po-
sition we held sixty years ago" lGreat applause.

SOWING CORN FOR FODDER.
(Panieum miiiaeum.)

This is an excellent crop for fodder when a scarcity Of
hay is apprehended, SIS it may be sOwn as late as the mid
die Of June. Ii succeeds well in New York and Pennsyl-
vsnia and doubtless will in Ohio. though we believe il is
very little known here, and we are not sure whether The
seed can be found in this State. II is an annual grain or
grass of very rapid growth, yielding from three to four
tons Of good fodder or hay 10 The acre, and fifteen or twen-
ty bushels Of gain if allowed to rpen. 1t should be cut
for fodder before the seed is fully ripe. Good corn ground
is suitable for Miilet. II delights in new land, rich and
rather sandy. 1t is sown like oats about two or three
pecks Of seed 10 the acre.

BUCK WHEAT.

This, we believe, is the latest article that can be sown
for producing a crop the same year and il occupies less
time in coming 10 maturity than any other. The heat Of
summer being unfavorsbse to its growth, il is commonly
sown in the month of August, and harvested in October.
We are not sure whether il is generally found to succeed
well in the south part of this State. but we presume it is q
pretty certain crop, if the fall is not too dry and hot. II
will be well 10 sow this, if other things fail; we will refer
TO il again hereafter.

mise much IN the way OF OenentS, ne would at least
promise to keep his hands off the people in the way
Of oppressive Legislation. He believed, that, under
present circumstances, the people were unable to bear
any Increase in the way of taxation. Some might be
able, but others were not. He spoke at considerable
length on the subject of our State Indebtedness and
the various plans that were under consideration for
the restoration of the public credit. He was opposed
to reputation in any shape, and said it was an insult
to the integrity of the people of Indiana that such a
charge should be urged against them. He thought he
saw a CLEAN Of light in the various plans that were
urged for the payment of our Indebtedness, and in
none more than the completion of the Wabash and
Erie canal through the valuable grant of more than
eight hundred thousand acres of land, obtained by the
late democratic Congress. In relation to the Oregon
question, on which Mr.. Weber had spoken at length,
be said, he entirely conceded with his colleague, in
regard to the Justice of our claim and the duty of
American citizens to defend it at all hazards. He
asked with much feeling and emphasis, shah we give
up our territory and thus rob the American people and
posterity of the opportunity of procuring homes on the
beautiful shores of the Pacific! He recollected the
time, when, as a poor orphan boy he came to the ter
ritory of Indiana from Tennessee, and when those
who rented land had only to pay onethird Of the crop.
Now, in nearly all instances, one half was demanded
and many required the grain to be gathered or crib
bed. Although we had a large surplus territory this
side the Rocky Mountains, still there was no neces-
sity Of giving ap a just claim that would afford an
outlet for the enterprising and Industrious poor of the
land, who might obtain houses and fortunes for them
selves and children, if we defended our just rights

that blind brides and diseased eyes are in
