FIRE IN ROME-30
BUILDINGS IN RUINS, AND ONE
LIFE LOST.

LIFE LOS L.
From the Roman Citizen Extra.-Jan g.
A fire broke out in shoe shop occupied
by Mr.. John McCarrick, on Dominick st ,
sbout o'clock this morning, which has
laid the whole block from tho Rome Bank
TO the corner at the American Hotel and up
James Street to the residence Of Mr.. Hath
way in ruins! The loss of property is i'm
mense. The fire spread with fearful rapid
ity, and the buildings, most of them being
of wood, with only brick fients, it swept o.
yerthe whole area without the possibility of
checking it.
The American Hotel, occupied by Asa
Rowe, owned by Titus Lynch, is among
the burned.
The whole loss will probably exceed $50,
00o, of which about 10000 is covered by
insurance.
1t was with the utmost difficulty that the
fire was confined within its present limits
The intense heat of the burning mass, was
reflected upon the opposite side of the str,
and had ii not been for the snow which COW
cred the roofs of most ofthe buildings, they
must have fallen prey TO the devouring
elements.
Loss OF LIFE.-We just learn that Mr.
George Foy has been killed He was
crushed beneath falling chimney on james
street while generously endeavoring 10 sup
press the spread of the fire across Stones
Alley. He was a poor man, and leaves a
wife and four children.

TIL MISUNDERSTANDING De
VELOPEMENT.
Correspondence Of The Tribune')
SPRIsGrIELD, Illinois, Dec. IL.

The grand jury Of the U. S. District
Court now in session here, have for the
past week been investigating the state of
affairs a, Nauvo. The result is, they have
found twelve indictments, (mosily agains,
the head men Of the Mormon Church A.
mong the number indicted are Brigham
Dung. president Of "THE TWELVE" and
Orson Pratt, a prominent leader.
| learn that the developments are most
startling. II appears that counterfeiting
has been the principal part of the business
there for some years, and that it has been
carried on by the heads of the Church.
The amount counte rfeiied has been i'm
mense, and the execution has been so nice,
as in many cases to prevent its being de-
lec'ed. The Prophet, Joe Smith, used to
work at the business with his own hands.
Other disclosures were made in relation
to the robber;es and murders, which have
never before been made public, but will
be in due time.
Although these indictments have been found
yet no arrests will be made for reasons
which will duly appear. and whether cred
liable or not 10 our Executive, the public,
will judge.

4 New FEATURE FOR OREGON. Should
the United States ever come into posses
sion of the whole Of Oregon, we will then
have within the bonds of the Union Curl
osi,y far greater than either the Falls Of
Niagara or The Mammoth Cave Kentucky,
according TO the following from the New
buryport Herald:
sShould we ever extend our possessions
over North Oregon as far as The Boman-
zoff mountains, near the seventeen parallel
we shall reach that latitude where the sun
does rot set in The summer. Near the
mountains. in summer The sun appears TO
stand as still as it did in the days of Joshua.
In June il is twenty-five degrees above
the horizon at s'midnight," and the only
mode Of knowing that j! is midnight" is
watching the sun when il begins 10 ascend.
Fowls 60 to roost at Z, P. NJ, end repose
till the sun is well up. In winter il is Of
course the reverse, as in the high laiitudes
the sun is not seen for six weeks"

GREAT SUFFERING cN THE RIVER Our

among the German emigrants, at different
points on the Mississippi above Memphis
At Cairo there are some two thousa of

who have been left there from the impossi-
billy of ascending on account of the ice,
and not only have they suffered incredibly
from want of food and shelter, but dysen-

On an island, some distance above Memphis
upwards of one hundred emigrants have
been left by the sinking of boat. and they
were said to be entirely desiiie ofbo,h food

SENATORS FROM Texas, GOVERNOR OF
TEXAS, LEGISLATURE OF TExAs.-A cor
respondent of the Washington union, says,
that Gen james P. Henderson has been
nominated and will be elected Governor Of
Texas by large majority. He is Jeiier-
sonian democrat. So far as The Legislature
concerned, there will hardly be wing in il.
There is not an election district in the State
in which the people would knowingly send
whig TO represent them.
Houston and Rusk will be the senators.
Rusk lives in Eastern Texas. Houston in
Middle. Western Texas, wished a sena-
tor from that quarter but will not be grati-
fed. Houston, when he lived in the states
was Democrat. Rusk acted with the
wings, but he now acts with the Democrats
and is fully trusted by them. lmmisrat Ion'

with an in,erprizing.aud industrious popuia-
