Week before last, tile Chronicle in grum-
bling about the Journals calling Thos. D.
Meares Federalist, says:
We will hazard the opinion, however, that
he ls not Federa|ist; nay, we are almost sure
that ne is not; nay again, we are sure. without
the almost, that he IS not. And this is why
we are sure of it-that &e a0ns born some gears
after the Federal party ceased to erist.
Is it fact, Mr.. Chronicle. that your
candidate "uds boJ2a some yrars after the
Federal party ceased 10 erist ~ If 81,
we should like 10 know how old he is. Let
US see, i'll 1891 or 80, we think 80 is the
right date, the Federal party was baptized
first, bv James Watson Webb. He gave
it the name of Whig" This name was
sanctioned, short ame afterwards, by the
Federal Stale Convention at Syracuse.
since which time, the FederaIists have kc Il
the name of "Whig," nov and then drop
pug it in certain sections, for political eff
feet. Well, the FederaIisls have been
Known BY the name of "Whig," since
l832-take '32 from As, and il leaves l3
So according to the Chronicle, Mr.. Meares
is only about Is years old. Guile youth
we think, TO be anxious to get into the
halls of Congress. But, Mr.. Chronicle
we are almost certain" that Mr.. Meares
is older than what you represent him to
be. And more, we are almost certain, he
is a FedcralIst.

General Jackson in his fourth annual mes
sage warned the people against the danger of
keeping persons in Office for long series Of
years.-(hr0nicte.
So he did. But we would ask the
Chronicle how long the Banks and Rail
Roads, are in the habit Of keeping their
officers, before they see fit TO discharge
them, and give lifting hand to some other
individual. Or, has it become a settled
principle with such institutions, that no
person can discharge the respective duties
of the Offices OF these institutions, but Fed
eralists, alias modern Wings.

DIED.,

DIED.
In Raleigh, on the l It'll inst. Mrs. Frances S
Shepard, wife of James B. Shepard, Esq, and
daughter of Judge Donnell. of Newbern.
Departed this life in Sampson county, on the
10Th inst Miss Eliza Faison daughter of the late
Solomon Faison decd, and Mrs. Asher Fason,
aged about II years.
Our community is thus called upon, amidst the
recent t1umphs OF the tomb, to weep the grave
of another victim, who has been cut off in the
morning of her youth, the pride of fond and doat-
ing mother, brothers. and sister.
Her amiable disposition, and mild and unafSc-
ted manners. had rendered her dear t. those who
had enjoyed the pleasure of her acquaintance, and
it is the remembrance of those virtues so lovely in
the female character that sheds ray Of comfort on
those friends. who now, in the deep sympathy OF
the heart, mourn her untimely death, having the
pleasing consolation to believe that she rests the
bosom of her God, and that. whilst the morning Of
her innocent and spotess life has been closed in
death, her immortal and pure spirit has winged lis
way to eternal Joy. She gave the clearest evil
dences, whilst her mental faculties were unclouded
that she was willing to die, and would soon be
with her God; and may quote for her mother
the language of Job,
"On, that my head were waters, and my eyes a
fountain of tears, that mig Int weep day and night
LOT the daughter OF my people IS sidli.
Lo, at noon, tits sudden night,
Darkness covers all the day
Rocks are rerdi4g at the sight
People can you tell me why
Behold the Saviour at the door,
He gently knocks, has knocked before,
Has waited long, is waiting still,
We treat no other friend SO i'll.

There are a considerable number be-
sides nearly ruined by water, and it was
computed by one of the Posts reporters
who had examined the whole district, that
abont $40 houses in all, were totally con-
sumed. The loss is variously estimated
at from So 100000 to S6.OOO.OOO. The
Post thinks the latter sum is nearer the
mark. which includes buildings and mer-
chandlze. The City Fire Insu' ance Com
pany only lost 100000, which is not over
ten per cent. on their capital. The May.
or was OH the ground, and ordered out Mill
tary force TO protect the properly Of the
cit Zens.
The cause Of the srtent of the .fre.-It is said
that there were two explosions which occurred
during the early stage ofthe FIRE, one of which
was undoubtedly the explosion Of the reser-
vor Of gas in New street. The effects of this
explosion are to be seen in several parts CT the
city. In the neighborhood Of The fire wherever
a gas pipe opens near a window, there the
glass is in many instances broken by the shock.
On the bursting of the reservoir the whole air
was filled with mass of living fame, which
in few instants attached itself in various pla-
ces to the surrounding buildings, and from this
circumstance, mainly, it was that the fire ex-
tended itself with so much rapidity.

MOTHER Awful FRI IN THE CITY
OF NEW YORK.-"LOss OF Life...One
Fourth OF the CsmmeRc ial Portion Of the
City destroyed.

ANOTHER AWFCL FIRE IN THE CITY
OF NE" YORK--"Loss OF Life...One
Fourth OF the Commercial Portion Of the
City destroyed.
Ii pains us TO record another sad calan-
lty that belell the city of New York on
last Saturday. The Evening Post of the
18TH inst. brings this melancholy news
The ire originated in the 4th story of The
large brick store occupied as an. oil store,
III New street, about 8 O'Clock in the morn
ing, and ragged with such fury tina. it was
until haif-past ten o'clock before it was got
under the least control. The Post says {;
" But what renders this calamity particu-
Iarly deplorable is not the vast loss of pro-
perty it must occasion, but the apprehend-
ed loss of life. Soon after the fire caught
this morning. it entered store where a
large amount of something had been accu-
muIated. which burst with appalling vlo-
Ience and noise. The shock of the ex-
ploslon was so great that it was felt as far
up town as Murry street, and Col. Bank
head informs us that ii shook the windows
even at Governors Island.'
1.-The explosion was heard very distinct
~ al the high lands, distance of forty-five
miles. How many lives are lost, i, is
impossible to tell" The conclusion of
air produced by the explosion, broke the
Ewndows in the houses, for great distance
around. 10 the Evening Post Office, which
is some quarter Of mile from the spot,
The windows and frames were completely
shattered. The wind blew high.
The Post says 1.-the loss is great, Ger.
talnIy greater than that suffered by all the
! fires since 1885, but we are confident, far
less than by that fearful caamity.'
That our readers may form better opin-
ion of Tire extent Of the fire than The fore.
going vii! furnish. we give the following
estimate of buildings burnt, furnished the
Evening Post, by an eyewitness of this
full conf1agration
