Mexico:

FIRE IN WILMINGTON.

We are pained to record another destructive
fire in Wilmington. 1t broke out on the morn
ing ofthe 4ih instant and destroyed real estate 10
the amount of $4,000 or S65.ooo. The Jour
nal says:
"The fire broke out in precisely the same spot.
in an old wooden building in an Ally IN the rear
of Market street, where, some short time ago we
noticed the attempt that was made 10 hre INC
souaEe The origin ofIhe fire being in The mIdst
of a number of old frame buildings, which were
as combusiible as tinder, 1t spread with fearful
rapidity. The whole of the square lying be-
tween market. Front, Water and Dock Streets IS
now mass of smouldering ruins. with the excep-
tion, of new building of A. V. w. Hewletrs,
and one owned by J. A. Sntas, which, singular
y enough, escaped the otherwise total destruction
of the square"
The Journal says, of the personal property ee-
stroyed three-fourths is covered by insurance.
The whole amount of loss is estimated at $780,
600, of which some $4,000 will fall on Insu-
rance Companies, and the balance on individuals.
The Journal continues:
We believe not doubt remains on the pub
lie mind, but that the fire on Tuesday morning
was the work of the midnight felon. Within the
last twelve months, five or six attempts have been
made to DESTROY this lI-fatcd square. AT last has
the fiendish ncendiary done his work. Would
that he could be brought to light. Suspicion has
rested on no one as yet"
This is a serious blow, but it will not retard
for moment the onward march Of Wilmington.
Already one of the most fourishing towns in the
South, it has ample and unf,ling resources in its
supplies of turpentine and lumber, well as in the
energy and probity Of its citizcns
We regret to add that Col. John McRae and
Col James T. Miller were wounded in cnd"av
ing to save some merchandise from the fire. We
are happy to learn, however, that their wounds
arc not considered dangerous

The Washington Union of the 9th instant has
an able article OH Oregon, to which we cordially
subscribe. The Editor opens as follows:
"THE WHOLE OF OREGON, OR NoNE-khiS is
the only alternative as is>ne of territorial right
We wholly DENY the break in the American title
at latitude 40 deg We hold that our title from
AZ deg. to "a deg. 40 min. is one lille. and. as
we believe, perfect title against all the world
As the question has been discussed for quarter
of century between US and England. not
aware of one rgumcnt-scarccly of one phrase
purportjnr to be an argumcnt--which carries our
title up to 49 deg. and there stops We claim as
matter of right the territory drained by the Co
lumbia river In the view of the law of nations
this territory being unoccupied has its distinctive
character and unity one region in the fact that
it is so drained And as one region, VIC either
own it, or we do not own it."
The Editor is right when he says the dcmoc-
racy of this country will stand to its word. The
President will be sustained, and the arrogant!
claims of England will be met as they should be.
Thus much as TO Oregon.
But there is another matter which would
bring to the notice or consideration Of the Union,
to wit the present hostile attitude of Mexico to-
wards the United States. Is Mexico TO be per-
nlitted 10 remain substantially in state of to-
wards US, to be allowed to insult and dcnounce
our government by manifestos, 10 force US to keep
five thousand troops at Corpus Christi at an in
creased expense to the War Department. while at
the same time she owes our citizens large sums oi
money! If this state of things should continue
through the ensuing session of Congress it may go
on Indefinitely, or cease only when Mexico choos
es Contemplate and weak we know she is, but
would Congress and the President permit Eng
land or any leading power to play with impunty
such game as Mexico is playing2 Doubtless
tcntion of Congress, and we have only to add the
hope that such steps will be taken as will most
completely rebound to the honor and welfare Of
the Republic.

: A VISIT TO POMONA.

r. On Saturday last, we formed one of a party
to visit Pomona, the hospitable residence Of SETH
JONES, Esq. in this County-a gentleman, who
has acquired great celebrity for his entcrprizing
character in general, and particularly for the at
tention which he has poid to the improvement
of stock of all kinds. Without protesting to be
very competent judge, we should deem his Farm,
in every respect, a model one, and his stock OF
Cattle as good for the practical Farmer, as any In
the United States. They are fthe North Devon
and shor' horned Durham breed, and are much
handsomer than the prints which we usually see
of them. The Cows have fine shaped, and we'll
developed udIers, and must be good mixers
We had evidence at Mr.. JONES hospiablc table.
that they give rich milk and Mrs J. says they yield
great deal of it, and the Stock was selected in re-
ference TO that particular quality They have fine
shaped yellow noses, with ring ofthe same round
the eyc-all uniform as can be-
On this Farm, every thing is done in the best
manner. Mr. JONES manages 1t himselt and has
made it very productive. Ee observes system in
all his operations, care of tools, implements, &C.
And the large Crops which he makes, illustrates
more forcibly than thousand theories: the advan-
taqcs 10 be derived from judicious system Of
Manuring His land is naturally poor, and
somewhat stony. and yet by the application of
Manures, furnished chiefly, il not altogether, by
his own Cattle, he has so improved his worn-ouI
lands, that his Cotton Crop will yield the present
season, a thousand pounds to the acre, and other
products in like proportion
We might notice his blooded Horses, his Berk-
shire Hogs, his Sheep, SC. but have not space
today But we will add that visit TO Pomona is
a strong argument in favor of the superiority OF
Agricultural life the frctful and feverish ca.
reer Of POLITICAL speculation or ambition.
