a FIRE.-A new house in the south part of our
brig Toledo, caught fire Saturday morning last,
and was entirely consumed. The furniture was
principally saved. No insurance-and loss from
400 TO 500 dollars. The fire occurred at fortu-
nate time as regarded the safety of adjoining pro.
perty-the morning being damp and rainy and no
wind stirring. Under other circumstances, the fire
would doubtless have extended ITSELF and far greater
damage have been the result. 1t may serve the
purpose of more costly warning, in impressing

for effective service against the deyouring element

the wisdom, integrity, and patriotism of It's

PEACE.-It is hard To determine from the variety
and conf citing character of the statements and ru
mors on the subject, whether there is any real
ground for the belief that peace propositions have
been made, or for the hope that peace is soon to
come. The Washington Union denies that 9" any
treaty, or p'oJef of treaty" has been received by
the administraton-whe on the other hand, it is
confidently stated, and the information thro
a variety of credible sources, that Mexico has made
specific proposition to this government to terml-
nate the war, giving to the United States all 1t
claimed in the fruitless negotiations with MI Irst.
with this exception that the to be paid for the
cession of the northern territory of Mexico shall
be increased from Sl5000,000 TO S3O,OOOOoo.
We sincerely trust there is truth in this report
and we cannot doubt if such proposition has been
received at Washington, that it will be immediate
ly and favorably acted upon Glory conquest,
indemnity and security begin to nauseate upon
the national stomach-the people Ghe humane
and civilized portion at least) are anxious for peace
they find that the evils of the are by means
confined 10 the enemy-that, regards IFS pecunla-
~ burdens and demoralizing influences, they them
selves and their posterty must be sufferers for long.
long years-and they will of course expect and de-
nand that no opportunity which may be presented
for an adjustment of difficulties upon any thing like
fair and honorable terms, shall be trihed with or
neglected By continuing the war one moment
longer than an honorable peace may be secured, we
shall justly become liable to the reproaches Of the
whole civilized world, and shall be mourning load
OF guilt and shame that cannot but bring upon Us,
as nation and people, fearful day of reckoning.

10 relinquish the idea Of running their lavore as
