Mills Burnt.

On Saturday night last at about II o.
clock a fire broke out. in the Grist Mill O
Messra. Pendletons, in Franklin, and in
as hort time the mill together with the
Saw-Mill and Woolen Factory adjoining
were completely enveloped in flames.
The buildings with the machinery were
entirely destroyed. There was, we learn,
but little grain or -four in the mill at the
time the fire occurred, and before it was
discovered it had so far progressed as to
render hopeless any efforts to either extin-
guish the flames or save any of the con-
tents Of the buildings. What is the amount
Of the loss we have not learned, though
we have heard it estimated at ST., 900. 1t
was insured by one of the Hartford, Conn.,,
companies for $4,000. Hoy the fire oc-
Cured is not known.
While the flames were curling up into
the air from the burning mass, and after
the covering of the buildings was nearly
burnt off. the water came rushing upon one
of the water wheels, setting the whole ma
chinery, some of which was red hot, in mo-
ton, scattering myriads of bright sparks in
every direction, and mingling its noise
with that OF the flame, rendered tho scene
terribly sublime and magnificent.

one of the interesting incidents of the occa-

New Yerk Judicial Election.

The new Constitution of the State oil
New York provides for the election of all
Judicial officers by the people. The frs,
election under the new Constitution was
held on Monday the 7th INST, and in the
city of New York and Brooklyn the entire
Democratic ticket was elected. The New
York Globe, in reference to the result, says:
''This goes to establish still further the
grand and important fact that when the
rights and interests of our citizens are at
stake, they repose in safety & confidence in
the principles and doctrines Of the Repub-
lican Party.
We have made a clean sweep. We
have elected every candidae who was reg.
ularly nominated, from the Judge of APP
peals down TO the School Trustees and In
.spectors. The Free Academy ticket has
also been carried by large majority.
We areunable to give the full returns
ofthe different Wards, as many of them
did not complete their canvass; but enough
is ascertained TO know that the Democratic
party have been eminently successful.
There could not have been more beau.
tiful compliment paid by the people of N New
York to the Democratic Judiciary can
didates, than their election to the bench by
the people. It proves that the majority of
our citizens have an abiding regard for
Democratic candidates and Democratic
principles.
Mr.. M'Kean, the candidate for District
Attorney, who was made the object of bit
ter attack by certain individuals, has been
elected by large majority"

Is it possible that, under the operation of
the 'ruinous, free trade tariff of ls46 men
can be found so foolish as to engage in
manufacturing7 Why, we had been led
to suppose from the assertions Of the whig
papers, that, instead of new factories being
built and new machinery put in operation,
the buildings already employed for manu-
featuring purposes would be closed, the op-
ratiyes turned out to beg, and the machine
ry lie idle and rust. Talk about the prosperi-
ty Of the farmer, and the wings cry out,
"great famine in the old world-great de-
mand abroad for our grain;" but is it this
foreign demand, or the destitution abroad
that is erecting new factories and putting
new,machinery in operationa Is not the
experience of every day confirming the
fact, that ssno restrictions upon trade" is

volunteer troops from their State occupy
in the army. The Is. Ohio (col. Mitehelis)
regiment is entrusted with the important
charge of Monterey and its forttesses;
while the I'd (Col, Morgan'sJ and the
Sd (Col. Curtis's) regiments, bear the un:
disputed palm for drill and discipline at
Buena Vista. Indeed, it is conceded On
all hands that they maneuvre with the
skill, precision, and rapidity of veteran
troops.
A few evenings since saw the Cd Ohio
(Morgan's) regiment form a square from
line OF battle in fifteen seconds!!-the
rapidity of which mannuvre has never
been excelled in any service. Indeed, that
regiment has arrived at such perfection in
its drill, that the battalion drill is now
entrusted to the Captains, each Of whom
drill on successive evenings; and by the
time their term Of service expires,
every Captain in the regiment with the
same ease that they would a company.
This superiority in drill and discipline is,
to great extent, the result Of superior
energy Of officers Of the highest order OF
talents in their profession-for such they
are-and at the same time it is plain to be
seen that the 'materiel'-the men consti-
tuting these regiments-cannot be excell-
ed by any in the world.
But few days since, news reached

all know he merits it, his men, both officers

honor conferred, could not suppress their
sorrow at the near approach Of the time
when they must be separated from their
commander, whose talents, courage, and at
the same time Kindness of heart, had SO
perfectly welded them to him. He had
promised them to recruit the regiment for
the war, and am informed that large
proportion OF them would have re.entered
the service under him. As it now is, /
presume Lieut.. Col. Irwin and Major Wall
both most excellent officers-will take

should be needed. | hope their services
may not be wanted. but should they, l
