the Montour Iron Company at Danville:
DAsvrLLE, June "a, ls49.
Editors Of the Bulletin:
About o'clock this morning fire broke out at
the Montour Companys new Furnace, No. 4, de-
stroyIng the engine and bridge house, and doing
considerable damage TO the new GO horsepower
engine. At the time Of the fire there was, fortu-
nately, not breath Of air stirring. If there had
been az ,cze to the northeast, all the wood work
Of tb -lee large furnaces would have been entire
ly estroyed Our fire engine company was soon
the ground, and Notwithstanding their apparatus
not in good order, they rendered efficient ser
vice, and saved large amount Of property from
destruction. Il is understood that the loss is cover
ed by insurance, and it may not exceed in all from
5000 TO 5000. A number Of men are busily en-
gagged to-day, (Sunday) and will, il is said, be able
TO keep the furnaces in blast by the aid Of Of
the large 80 horse engines which properly belong to
Furnace No. 3. This is the second time FIRE has
occurred at those furnaces,-Phila Bulletin.

Ranks of warm deadly fight!
Wives and mothers speechless gazing

Guard and strike for liberty

We learn from the st. Andrews papers, that
the fires have done much damage in the numbering
districts of that county during the past week The
saw-mill at Red Rock, on the Magagaudavc river,
belonging to Major Stannus, and about 40 900 feet
of deals belonging to Simeon Howe, were burned
last week. On Friday last the mills at New river,
built by Stephen Munsen and Nelson Ash, with
clapboard and lnth machines, and small mill
house, were destroyed by FIRE.
The dwelling house Of VIM. Moore, at Saint

LocoT0co PLANTS AND PRAcTIcEs.--The Post
master General, a short time since, removed from
the Office of postmaster at Greensburg, in this
State, one Simon Drum, who had held il during
period Of forty years. The whole Locofoco party
seemed, for short time, TO be thrown into state
Of asphyxia by this event. and then revived, to
experience and express the proper feelings at such
barbarous act of cruel . prescription" No Ian
guage was strong enough to express their indigna-
tiOn no terms sweet and tender enough to show
forth their sympathy with the sufferer. Mr.. Drum
might have said, as Lord Byron said before him,
on the publication of his first popular poem, that
she woke up one morning and found himself ia
nous" and It seemed IL all the Locofoco papers
OF Pennsylvania would go into mourning and the
politicians wear Grape on the left arm for thirty
days, in testimony Of grief for his unhappy fate.
he had gained, to appearance, vast political
power, or capital, for his sufferings had moved all
his political family in the State towards him. Even
the candidacy for the next governorship might not
be deemed beyond his reach but with the modcsty
Of true worth, Mr.. Drum con.ented himself, some
days ago, with asking from the Locofoco conyen-
ton Of Westmoreand county the very subordinate
Office of sheriff Most strange to say, this little
honor was refused him but still, being most anx-
loss to serve those who seemed to prize him so
highly, he expressed his desire for the Office of
register and recorder butt th through some unfortu-
nate combination OF circumstances, it could not be
awarded him The next step of the martyr was to
Apply 10 nis syihPatniAHs irlenus ior INC. county
treasurershp; but here again there difficulties;
and, sinking still lower in his claims, in the most
obliging spirit, he condescended to offer to accept
the county commissionership. His name was
placed upon the list of applicants voted for, but, sad
TO say, he scarcely obtained vote, and another
man was nominated instead of the wronged, the
lamented, the prescribed" Simon Drum.
This proceeding forms keen satire on the re-
cent proceedings Of the Locofocos in Mr. Drums
case, and very pretty commentary upon the gene
raj system, now SO much in favor among them, of
making great outcry about prescription when
there is nothing to cry about Philadelphia North
