the dry goods store of Mr.. Irby Smith, on the West
All the buildings belonging to Mr.. c. w. Basnett.
BY The energy of the citizens, nearly all the goods of
Mr. Smith were saved. A considerable portion of
the valuable articles in the first story of Messrs
Poeys e. Buffers Store were also taken out and pre-
served Mr. Hubbs's whole stock entirely con-
sumed. All the property lost, including the build
ings insured nearly, if not to the full amount of
Its value-except about 81 200 in State Scrip belong

chest for safe-keeping. There is very strong evil
dence that Mr.. Hubbss store first robbed, and
then set fire. The whole loss of property is esti-
mated at about 100000, which will fall principally
on the Hartford Insurance Offices.

STATE SENTINEL.-Let not the Sentinel suppose
that we were in earnest in our little rebuke of them
for their typographical about holding the edito-
rial convention on the 18th. We had few weeks
previous made the same kind of an error relative

it the occasion for some Liberal remarks. And our
retort about their .error was kindly done to show
them that they were liable to errors like ourselves

"lIuch learning hath mQde him mGd."
MR. MURRAY:
Having no doubt but that the public

between Citizen and DispassiOnatciy, alias
Edwin Draper and William English, | there

view Of the san C. did think Citizen I'M
worthy of any further notice from me, but

ment about the last election, or, probably
owing to his sad disappointment in being
defeated, ('and thus the people lost the aid
of this old citizen in the management of
their affairs.') But: sir, be all this as it
may, Citizen Edwin Draper'as he %avcrs')
has, in this discussion. particularly in his
last article, manifested a total want of We
racity, not at all characteristic OF a man
possessing a sound mind, especially one
who has "maintained an irreproachable
character for integrity, morality, and pub
lie spirit. Only hear him-he says lin his

one half of it, ('.pEain Euglish'') making
against ME a false and ~slanderous charge

We are sorry, to be under the necessity
of begging the indulgence of our readers,
for the non appearance of the Banner last
week. BY our intellectual efforts, to make
a new roller, We were necessarily thrown
back SO that we could not issue our paper
upon the regular day of publication; we
thus concluded that as the week was partly
spent, we would devote the remainder to
running a petetion a cross the office, With
the view of making ourselves comfortable
at our work during the winter. If our
subscribers will excuse us this time, we
will try to do better for the future.
So far as heard from there was but a
very small vote polled, at the recent cleo

dulgence to those who have owed us for
more than year, while we have to paw
cash ior all that We buy. We pay cash for
all the work done in the office, cash for pa-
per and ink, and cash for rent. It cannot
then be expected, that while every article of
our expenses is cash, that we should %contin-
lie to wait year after year, for all the Job

Wehope then that our friends will attend
to this matter. The pay for our iods work
