FIRE.

This morning, attwo O'Clock, a fire, supposed to be

shop of Mr.. Walt, on the west side of Tenth street.
near Pennsylvania avenue, which, together with the
contents, comprising TOOLS benches, woodwork for
two small and one large house, etc., were entirely
consumed. The loss is about two thousand dollars,
on which there was an insurance of half that amount

On the south to the three tenements, two occupied
by barber and shoemaker, and the third by Mr.. J.
Davis, as tavern, and owned, we understand, by Mr.
James Moore. Those in immediate proximity were
nearly destroyed, while the other suffered much
damage. The rear of Dyer's auction store was in
imminent danger, but brisk application of water re-
moved the. apprehension, and only the accumulat
rubbish in the yard was scorched by the flames On
the north the brick house, owned and occupied by
Mrs Thomas lost its roof and was otherwise injured
The furniture of the dwellings was saved

A CRYING EVIL.

One of the besetting sins of this money get
ting, money worshipping age, is mock gen
tility, a sort of air bubble, would-be-nobility
which considers honest labor fit only for serfs,
and bondmen. They seem to forget that the
laborer is natures nobleman, that his patent is
from Jehovah himself. They do not recollect
that the proudest among the ancients, of whom
we hear so much, were tillers of the ground
Cicero was not only an orator, but farmer
Cncnnatus left his plough to lead his country
men from glory to glory in the red battle field
Almost all the Poets of old Rome, euogised in
exulting strains the pleasures OF agriculture The
good and the great delighted to quit the turmoil
of smoky city to send out their hearts reioc-
ing among the green leaves. In modern Europe
the possession Of land is the highest aim of the
privileged orders, and is considered a sort of
test of gentiity. But in many parts of This
country how sad is the reverse. The son must he
made gentiemdn-tbat is he must be an idler
or become third or fourth rate lawyer, doctor
orparson, because labor is vulgar, and agriculture
ungenteel. How false is this-and pernicious
as false. Why is it that our men of wealth pre-
fer that their sons should grow up in idleness,
or enter some one of the overcrowded profes.

that even in New England agriculture is begin

PRESERVATION OF LIFE

MEssRs. EDroRs: That bold print, the New York
Evening Post, in discussing the amentable catasro-
phe of the steamboat Swallow, adverted to the oreat
care now taken on the Sound in consequence of the
awful destruction by fire Of the Lexington. Beiev.
ing that 1t is the duty of every man who can make
himself understood, through the fundamentally of the
press, to aid that powerful engine in lessening the
danger to human life; and knowing that the sens-
bties of the conductors of the Metropolitan presses
are as susceptible as any in the lard make no
apology for offering the following suggestion, which
it is to be hoped will be employed on the Mississippi
and other principal waters Of tho United States
IL will be remembered that the destruction of life
was augmented on board the Lexington, by the fact
that she was under full head of steam the til)er
ropes burnt through, and the captain was not even
able to run towards either shore ofibe Sound But be-
fore the ropes were burnt, the flames were driven a
in consequence Of the direction of the wind and the
fact that the boa, was going rapidly jor,oard
Now, as Congress, in it's wisdom and paternaI re-
gard for the people, passed law requiring chains or
wire instead of ropes Tor steering the owners of all
steamboats, on wide rivers or bays should mperstivsy
require that in of alarm of fire. that the engine
should Immediately throw one Of the wheels on /,
backward motion, to assist in turning the boat. and
then reverse the action of the other and thus ru the
boat stern foremost to the land from which the wind
comes, which will necessarily cause the flames to
spread over the forward part Of tbs boat, and thu.
save the lives Of both officers and passengers.

THE AWFUL CALAMITIES AT PITTSBURG
. AND ON THE HUDSON.

1 The last fortnight has been remarkable for
casualties and death-for human suflerings and
human sorrows. f"
On one day we were startled by the terrible
announcement of the objectionable loss of the
steamboat Swallow upon bare rock in the
Hudson, on which occasion, numbers of men,
women, and children found watery grave; and
on the next, the heart-rendng intelligence of
the destruction of the Iron City of the West
by fire, came upon us like the death knell of a
departed people
1t is melancholy task to review the past in
all It's shades of virtue and sn-joy and sorrow
-hope and fear-lancy and realty--to reflect
upon the daily losses of life and property around
US, and to see whether these terrible caIamities
are not sent upon us for some special purpose
by the great Author and Finisher of Creation.
| The whole country teens with accounts of
terrible confagrations and violent deaths. The
lee shores of the ocean are strewn with wrecks
and drowned men, and many stout packet-ship
with crowded berths and peopIed decks, has
gone down TO the blue depths of ocean with
sails set and colors flying, to wait the signal of
the Great Admiral on the muster day of the
dead.
We have lived too fast of late years. Armed
with the power of the elements, man has for
gotten his mortality, and fastened on towards
perfection, until it requires the vengeance of his
Maker to cause him TO turn his eyes to the
earth and remember his fellow.
Far be ii from us to put bounds to cultivated
intellect, or to shackle audable enterprise but
when the whole world forgets its Maker, and
the sufferings of humanity and searches after
EpDoados and Valleys of Diamonds, in the
quagmires and wild craters of the universe
and worsbps golden calves and mortas tempo
rariiy in power; when it allows the strong to
Cypress the weak, and screens the guilty from
punishment when ignorance is considered
blessing to the poor, and righteousness a curse
to the land, We cannot refrain from arres,ing the
attention OF the careless and secure, and bidding
them, in the language Of truth, behold the judq.
ment Of God. ..f

NoRroLK, I'D March, loao.
Sus Since my arrival in the United States, have
been informed that the nbcllous statement in the
Government paper of Buenos Ayres, relative TO the
death Of the late Commander NEWMAN, of the Balm
bridge, as caused by myself has been rePubshed by
number OF journals in this country,-and in order
that the Department and the public may not be deceiv-
ed in this matter have to state that the said belious
statement is unequvocaly untrue in all its bearings
Tha, the most friendly relations and the most unin-
terruptsd harmony always subsstsd between Com
mander Newman and myself. he came 10 me in
great agony of feeling in consequence Of having been
fred ovokedy BY Of the cruisers belonging
to the squadron of Buenos Ayres and endeavored to
soothe him to the u,isrmost. On the morning pre-
cedng the evening of his death, also wrote him a
soothing note, which presume may now be in pos
session of his widow.
The death of the late Commander Newman
certainly brought about by his having been fired into
by cruiser of Buenos Ayres; and it is my humble
opinion that be would now be on thelland with the
living but for that outrage. 'a
have the honor to request, sir, that the foregoing
may be made public through the Department, in or
der that this libellous scandal upon the Service may
be as widely contradicted as may be deemed proper
and necessary. .....-
Very respectfully, sir,
