Family Prayer.-In binding family to.
ge,herin peace and love, there is no human
influence like that ofdomestic prayer. I'm
i,ng them in common object, il unites
their sympathies and desires. Rrsing their
hearts to heaven, it brings them altogether
in the presence Of God. The family altar
is an asy um to which they repair from the
cares and tolls of life; reminding them Of
rest reserved in heaven, it unites them ia
efforts Of faith and obedience for its attain
ment. Earth has no holier spot than
house thus sanctifed by prayer, where the
voice Of supplication and thanksgiving con-
socrates every day, where the word Of God
is devoutly read, and young and old unite
to show forth all his parise. 1t may be
humble, but it is holy. Poverty may be
there and sorrow, but its inmates are itch
in faith, and joyous in the Holy Ghost.
Sickness may enter it, but it comes like an
angle OF peace and mercy. .-..

THE WAY 1T Is DONE,

1t has always been said that there is a
right and wrong way to do things. Unfor-
tunately for US, Just at this moment, the
wrong way appears to have been adopted
by that very economical gentlemen who
figures at the head of the war department.
We have Just read his secret letter TO Col.
j. ID. Stephenson, authorizing him 10 raise
a regiment to fight in the war, but to 90 to
it by the way of Cape Horn. II is about
an eight month voyage for a single ship.
These men 60 in three ships and under
convoy of frigate. A fleet always sails
slower than single ship, so that we may
expect to hear of the arrival of this regi-
ment in California in about one year, or
when the war will be over. .,...<-r
So much for time. Now another point.
Mr.. Marcy says the soldiers must be men
who would like to remain in Oregon after
the war. 1t is to be expressly understood
that when discharged, they are not to CLAIM
to be sent home. The intelligent Secretary
then adds the following =. a.-..
The men must be aPprised expressly that their
term Of service is for the war-that they are to
be discharged as above specified, and that they
are TO employed on distant service. IL is ho,o.
euer desirable that IL should not be publicla
kno,cn or proclaimed THAT THEY ARE TO GO TO
AMY PARTICULAR PROVINCE OF MEXICO. On
this point, great caution is enjoined. The com.
municaton to the officers and men must 90 so
far as TO remove all JUST GROUND OF coMpL1NT
that they have been deceived in the nature and
place OF service. ,.. .. '-'
First. then, the men are to be deceived
Chat is the english of iD and it must be
done so nicely that they cannot say they
haze been deceived 1t sometimes will hap.
pen that wrong letters are sent TO the Sen.
ate, and we presume this got there by mis-
take. When call is made upon the Pres
ident for papers, it is always. couched in
language which enables him to withhold
any information that it would be improper
10 communicate. Yet we see Marcy au.
thorizing secret expedition around Cape
Horn-an expedition entirely useless. tho
very xpensive--cautioning his friend Ste.
venson TO be, careful and deceive the mer
just enough and yet all made public a,
once.
There is rule of the War Department
forbidding the publication of any writing
whatever, unless authorized. So positive is
this, that in many cases, an officer cannot
publish even an article written by himself
Needless of this and in the face of bad
impression, Gf we have wit enough to see
itO the Secretary throws out his very ele.
CANT letter to Col. Stevenson, sends it TO the
Senate, where he knew it would get before
the public. Yet this is the man who is so
severely strict with regard to others
Breaking his own orders without the least
regard, and for no good reason under hea-
ven; and yet he cries "crucify himl" upon
the grey headed soldier who boldly stepped
forward to the rescue of the whole army

THE OREGON NOTICE.

Msssrs. Truman Smith, Garret Davis,
and G B, Smith, from the Com. on Foreign
Relations in the House Of Representatives
have presented a minority report in which
they assume that the authority of giving
the twelve months notice to England,
abrOgaling the joint occupancy Of Oregon,
rests only with the treaty making power
and in this opinion they are ably sustained.
1t would appear that President Polk, in
asking the House of Representatives to dc
that which belongs only to himself, and the
Senate tol dds disposed to dodge the
lightning from his own thunder.

Great Fire at Concord, ". 1850 600
north of Property Destroyed. A slip from
Hills Patriot Office, Concord dated 4 o'clock
yesterday morning, gives the particulars of a
FIRE hat broke out a little past IL o'clock, in
the extensive frame buildings at The depot of
the Concord Rrailroad Co., occupied by the
Messrs. Gilmore & Clapp, for their extensive
wholesale grocery es adjustment, and by the
Railroad Company, as car house, which, at
this hour, with almost all the contents, is re-
duced nearly 10 heap of ruins. When
discovered, the flames had made such prog
ress as to defy the attempts of the fire COM
panies, and their efforts were principally di-
recled to stopping their extension on the
south, towards the Railroad Passenger De-
poi. The building contained an immense a
mount of w. |. goods and groceries, com.
Prising large quantity Of -four, lime, oil,
plaster, pork, fish, iron, &C., DC, besides
four valuable passenger cars, and three bag
gage cars, belonging to the Railroad, nearly
all of which is destroyed, or so much injured
as TO be almost a total lost. Messrs. Gilmore
d Ciapp had recently finished taking an &C.
count of their stock, which they valued at
$4,000 On this $4,000 was insured atthe
Hartford Fire ms. Co., and $4,000 in the
Manuiscturers', Firemen's, and National ms.
Companies in Boston-S5o00 ia each. The
Railroad Company have lost 9 l0,OOO-inclu-
ding the building worth $4,000 or $4,000, and
cars worth $4,000, on which there is said TO
be no insurance, The total loss will doubt
less reach $4,000.
The origin Of The FIRE is not, at this time,
definitely ascertained. II is supposed, how
ever, TO have taken from the stove in one oil

The First Fght about Oregon. The
wal fever which the Oregon question has
produced, has at last led TO battle, which
though moi as bloody in its consequences
as fight between the two greatest nations
of the world, is fair specimen, on a small

to settle disputes when all arguments fail
and no concession will be made. In Hope
well Township, York county Penn, l4th

Der. Of Maryland, and William Blair Of
Ohio, relative TO the Oregon question. -
Mr. Blair called Mr. Gilbert tory; for
which insult, Mr. Gilbert to preserve his
character and honor untarnished, challeng-
ed him to mortal combat The weapons
were United States rifes--the distance six
