ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS OF
THE FIRE IN PITTSBURGH.

The effect OF thus d Saster on the business
and prosperity Of Pits6tugh.--We have
carefully inquired of many of our dearest
headed business men, those most thorough
" conversant with the resources Of the
city, as 70 the probable effect Of this disas-
ter upon its prosperity; and coupled with
our own knowledge Of the strength Of the
merchants who were burnt out, the posi-
ton Of their resources, SIC. we are fully
convinced that though the commercial pros.
pects of our city are terribly shaken, vet
II Is NOT totally Frustrated, and in due time
it will rise above all. Our large saanutac-
tories are utonhed-,he only mills Of i'm
portance which are burnt being The Globe
Factory, which is the smallest in the city,
the Kensingtoh Iron Works, and Blackwell
s. Pears Glass Works. Various other
smaller establishments, were DESTROYED,
but It is with great satisfaction we an.
nounce that the great leading branches are
comparatively untouched, and that bust.
ness, 50 far as they are concerned, will g
on as usual. .
The appearance Of 7hmgs.--festerday
morning we walked around the burnt dis
trict. The appearance Of things is awful
nothing but an immense forest of walls
and chimheys is visible, and desolate heaps
Of brick and mortar. The fierce fire
licked every combustable clean up Moth
ing that would burn escaped. The wharf
was covered with merchaRdize or every
description, furniture, Sc, and many piles
which were rolled out as it was thought
beyond the reach Of the flames, were con-
sumed. Piles Of burnt and partially con.
sumed coffee, sugar, nails. iron, cotton, pas
per, tea, &C., were scattered along it. OF
The Monongahela Bridge, nothing remains,
but long line Of burnt timber across the
river, between the naked piers, all over
the hill, piles Of furniture, bedding, &c.,
are scattered, Along the streets The only
valuable tllnge visible were safes, which
the merchants took the precaution to haul
out Of their store, and it was prudent
foresight, inasmuch as many Of them
proved Of very little use. Among the
ruins, crowds Of people from other parts
Of the city and the country were wander
ing and gazing upon the scene. For our
selves, we more than once were lost, and
had to look around for some well known
land mark by which to fix the locality.
Incidents Of the Fue.--Soon after the fire
got under Roadway, and The Globe Factory
began to burn, the Third Presbyterian
Church was in most imminent danger
The members of that, denomination rallied
around il, and by cutting away the end d
the roof which projected over the wall
next the FIRE, and covering the roof with
wet cloths, succeeded in saving It. We
saw clearly that the salvation Of a dozen
squares depended uponit for had i catght.
its immense steeple would have scattered
clouds Of fire cver = boisidefablc portion
Of the city which escaped. ssf sssf 80
The rapidity with which the FIRE spread,
was most remarkable The whole Of
South Ward, containing from seven to nine
hundred houses, wss consumed entirely in
the space d. two hours. From the time

Report says there was an Editor in Burlington
who wrote "the people must not-will not
shall not vote for the CONSTITUTIONS &c.-
Hawkeye.
Report, in this case, as in many others,
says that which is untrue, if the denial Of
the Hawkeye editor be correct. The Ian
guage imputed to us by insinuation ,rs
sleusr used. We said the people would not
accept the boundaries, but in the same num-
Der Of our paper we urged the policy Of
ratifying the constitution, being convinced
that in adopting the latter we did not ne
cessarily take the former. This the Hawk
eye knows, for it commented on our advo-
cacy of the constitution at the time and
yet now, with the view of producing a
false impression, it has the 3ittleness to re-
sort to garbliny and interpolation. This is
truly honorable in print which aspires
to be organ Of the wing party Of Iowa.
We plead guilty TO the charge Of voting
for the constitution. We did vote for, and
intend to do 50 again next August, if the
Legislature will but carry out the wishes
Of the people and authorize an expression
Of public opinion upon the constitution as
it came from the convention. That they
will do this we do not entertain. doubt.

IL BUSINESS Of al kinds is represents

a. BUslssss Of al kinds is represents
ed as being unusually brisk in the COM
mercial cities, and indeed throughout the
entire country. In Philadelphia, for in
stance, the activity is said to surpass
anything ever before known. A paper
printed in that city, says-''the wharves,
the streets, the stores, are full of busi-
ness. Every man seems engaged in ma
king money, and glorious prospect q
prosperity is before u.s." And it is so Of
all our other cities and towns, whether on
the seaboard or in the interior. The srl>
in" which the wings predicted as certain
to follow the election of Mr. Polk, has
not yet manifested itself; but instead Of
impaired confidence and general prostra-
ton Of business, q sounder and better
state Of things pervades the country than
have been experienced since the general
bank suspension Of 1888. Indeed, the
business men of the country have ample
reason to congratulate themselves on the
result Of the recent Presidential election.
Had Mr.. Clay been successful, we should
probably have had fictitious state Of pros.
perity, alike unhealthy and unreal, to b
succeeded By revulsion and disaster, as in
by-gone times; but as it ia the career Of
prosperity upon which the country is now
entering is felt to be substantial and per-
manent.
