HORRIBLE :

On the morning of the end inst. the extensive
store-room of Petersburg and Allison, in Xenia,
Ohio, was discovered to be on fire. and with their
entire stock OF goods, to the amount of $4,000,
was destroyed. Two other large brick buildings
were consumed-and the loss of property was
not less than from 10 to $40, 0OO.-The most de-
plorable part of the calamity, however, was the
loss OF two very estimabe young men, James
Kenny and VIM. Steele, clerks, who slept in the
store. When the door was burst open, one of
them was found senseless, cut and bruised to a
considerable extent, and soon breathed his last.
The other was discovered lying in bed, probably
senseless, and could not be reached for the flames
The back door Of the store-room was standing
open, and large quantity of goods was found
near town, which Rad been taken from the store
This renders it pretty conclusive that the young
men had been murdered, the store robbed, and
the building fred to conceal tho horrid deed I!
Several persons have been arrested under circum-
stances which render it highly probable they
were the perpetrators Of this murder.

THE IRON STEAM SHIP.

The mammoth steamer, the Great Britain, ere
ated quite sensation on her arrival at New York
on Sunday last. Immense crowds were gather
ed at every accessible point to get view of her
and it is said that the great war ship, North Car.
DINA, appeared like boat along side of her.
The Herald says her decks seemed miniature
city for population.
The following are the chief dimensions Of the
ship Total length, 800 feet; total breadth, so
feet; capacity, 5000 tons; draught of water, 1G
feet engines, 1000 horse power; four cylinders,
81 inches in diameter; length of stroke ~ inch
es chain wheel Is feet in diameter; the propelI-
ing screw in the stern Of the ship is Is l-2 feet
In diameter, and has six arms.
This vessel will accommodate about EGO mas
sengcTs-crew and fremen $50 persons.

SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

The mammoth steamer Great Britain, Captain
HosKENs, arrived safely at New York on Sunday,
in fifteen days from Liverpool, whence she sail
ed on the Goth ultimo-thus satisfactorily solv-
ing the problem whether or not steamer of the
magnitude and construction of the Great Britain,
and with her principle of propulsion, could make
a successful tri across the ocean. The engines
worked admirably ali the way, and were never
stopped except to sound on Georges Bank, off
Sandy Hook, at one o'clock. p. NJ. on Sunday.
The news, though not exciting, is favorable,
Cotton holds its price, with large sales, and there
was general conviction that the lowest point
had been reached, and henceforth the change, il
any, would be in favor of the sellers. Provi-
sions too were firm, and there were some expec-
tatlons of scarcity and an advance.

Locoroco FRAUDS.

We were not aware until recently that there
were any grounds for supposing that the same
system Of fraudulent voting, which had been
resorted to in several other of the States, so
successfully, for the purpose of sitting the
true voice OF the People in the late election
of President, had been practised also in Mis-
slssIrPI.-The following article from the
Jackson (Mi.) Southron, shows, we think,
pretty conclusively, that this was the fact 1t
looks, indeed, as if there must have been some
concert and understanding on the subject; for
otherwise there would have been no inducement
for these efforts, so forlorn was the prospect
of Mr. Folks election regarded. -Singly, they
could have effected nothing, and the presump-
ton is therefore that they would not have
been made, without some such encouragement.
tits certainly most unwelcome thought-bu,
it is one which the facts seem to force upon
the mind and dark and fearful is the pros
pect it opens up of the future.

FUNERAL HONORS.

On Saturday last, funeral honors were paid tc
the memory OF Gen. Andrew Jackson by the peo-
pie of Jefferson, at Charlestown. The ceremo-
MES consisted ola procession of military and cit
liens, and an Grafton by the Hon. William Luz
cas-. The religious services were performed by
the Rev. Mr.. Berry.
An accident occurred 10 two Of the Charles

We understand that Major RlNccoLD's corps of
U. S. Flying Artillery, at Fort McHenry, have
received orders TO embark for Matagorda, Texas,
as soon as practicable. The fine Ship Hermann
has been chartered for the transportation of the
corps, and will sail as soon as the necessary ar
rangements can be made.

by the Southern boat, TO 60 through by the mail
route to New Orleans, and one hundred bores in
addition have been ordered to be sent after them
as quickly as they can possibly he prepared.
There have been also 100000 ball cartridges
ordered to be prepared and forwarded by the same
conveyance with the utmost despatch, as well as
number of gun carriages and other military
stores. So great is the hurry, and SO urgent
the orders OF the Government for the despatch of
these warlike stores, that / am informed the
workmen at the Navy Yard will be at work all
day tomorrow, although it will be Sunday
ms would seem TO indicate that the adminiStra-

an actual bona fide war. This news may have
come privately to New Orleans by the schooner

The New York Tribune of Tuesday says that
orders were received on Saturday requiring Capt.
DUNCAN, now at Fort Hamilton, a few miles
below New York, to be in readiness at a mo-
ments warning with his company of Flying Ar
tillery to march for Texas. Their destination is
the mouth Of the Aransas.
We mentioned yesterday that the U. S. troops
at Fortress Monroe had been ordered to embark

The New Orleans Courier of the 5th instant

In that election, it is well known That, from
the strife between the two factions of the Loco
party itself, and the general turn out of the Wings,
the State gave FIJI vote. AS farther proof of
this, it may be stated that the result shows an
excess over the vote in the excited Presidential

should it, as 1t undoubtedly must, terminate un-
iavorably toward that Government.
"The Bee publishes. from the Government
Journal of the 18th, the concluding portion of a
report from the Minister of Foreign Affairs;
Louis G. CUEvIs, dated the 10th ult. That doc
ument refers to 'the measures adopted by the diff.
ferent Departments to defend the rights and hon.
or of the country and is decidedly warlike.-
The Extraordinary Council, mentioned as having
been summoned, is said not to have assembled as
late as Saturday evening, the 10Th ultimo.
"The Jefersonian publishes a letter from Vera
Cruz of the 2lst utimo, not SO late as the dates
of the Bee, which says: awe are momentarily
expecting TO receive the declaration Of war;
That paper also publishes the proclamation OF
Signor Condo, which states that the Supreme
Government has resolved upon declaration Of
war; that it will tomorrow 9th ultimo) COM
muncate TO Congress the declaration of war, &c:
"All that can DO gathered, then, from Signor
Condos dispatches is, that war is VERY PRoBA-
BILE, there being no evidence that it has yet been
declared. The Seniors proclamation is dated on
the 10Th, and he says that on the next day l7th)
the declaration of war would be communicated
TO Congress. The Bee, whose dates are to the
evening of the 18th, says that up to that time
neither war nor non-iniercourse had been declared,
nor had the Extraordinary Council, summoned
undoubtedly with express reference to the war
question, yet assembled. 1t is apparent, then,
that Senior Condo, on the 18th, could not have
been authorized to say that the Government had
resolved upon declaration of war, when on the
10Th, three days after, the question was unde-
cided.''
The brig Persian, which had been lying off
Galveston for the purpose of carrying the intelii-
gence to Vera Cruz of the ratification of the An
nexaion Resolution by the Texan Convention,
had not arrived when the Relampago sailed.
The Republican states that all the Mexican
vessels in the port of New Orleans had obtained
clearance, except the Relampago, which await
ed the pleasure o. Mr.. Arangoes, the Mexican
Consul. That gentleman, it was said, had closed
his official relations with this country, and would
sail on the 9th instant
The Bee also contains scrap of news by a
schooner from Tabasco. On the 18th of July
there was counter revolution in favor of the
Government in the Department, of Tabasco, head
ed by Commodore Thomas Marin, who, with
only eighty troops, succeeded in deposing Gene
raj Ignatio Martinez, who was in command of
the insurgents.

ANOTHER OUTBREAK OF ANTI.RENTERs

ANOTHER OUTBREAK OF ANTI RENTERS.
The following letter, dated at Delhi, in Della
ware county, New York, on the 9TH instant,
gives an account of another daring outrage and
probable murder on the part of the anti-renters
cat IL o'clock to-day a sale for the rent of
Moses Earle, in Andes, was to take place at his
house about twelve miles from this village. Sher-
i'll Moore, Deputy Steele, and Deputy Edgerton
were about bringing out some cattle for sale,

lord,) when about one hundred persons, DISCUS
ed as Indians appeared to prevent the sale.
When Steele and Edgcrton, with Wright be-
tween them, were passing into the field, the Ind.
ans with their horrible .yels attempted TO pre-
vent them, and finally an order was given by the
chief 10 fire. Edgerton's horse was killed under
him. Seele's horse was wounded and fell ::

men. The Indians fled. How dangerous the
wounds of MIR. Steele are is yet unknown
