DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.!

On Saturday morning last, about O'Clock, the
Mill belonging 70 Mr.. SAMUEL CLINE, on Middle
River was discovered 10 be on fire, the flames
having progressed too far at the time of discov-
cry, to be checked in its terrific and destructive
course. The whole property, which was extern
sive, was consumed to ashes, together with the
contents, supposed to amount to 7oco bushelso
of Wheat and 200 barrels Of Flour. The loss to
the neehborhood is heavy one, many persons
losing nearly all their Wheat. 1t was with great
difficulty the miller and two boys, sons of Mr.
CLINE, were saved from perishing in the flames
having retired 10 rest at a late hour they slept
soundly, and were saved by the breaking of the
windows through which they made their escape
Mr. Cline is most worthy and estimable citi
zen, and the loss to him is enormous, happen
ing too, at a time, when he is lily ably TO bea,
it. We hope that those who sympathize will
him, land there are many will take the neces
sary steps to enable Mr.. Cline 10 recover hi.
loss. The fire is supposed to have originated
from the friction of the Smut Machine

EXECUTION OF oBENn-on Friday last

EXECUTION OF "BEN."-On Friday last
the sentence of the court condemning the slave
Ben to be hung, for the commission Of rape up
on the person of white female, was publicly
executed. About II o'clock the prisoner was
brought from the jail, dressed in the babiliments
of the grave and hauled in cart 10 the gallows,
erected for his execution on Brushy Hill, a.
bout two miles from town. A large concourse
of persons followed in the train of the prisoner
and an immense assemblage were congreeated
around the place of execution to witness the
dreadful scene. We learn the prisoner mani
tested much composure, if rot indifference,
sang hymn on the gallows and made renew
ed confession of his guilt, warning his fellow
servants to profit by his fate. He died without
scarcely struggle and after hanging about fiji,
teen minutes his body was taken down and
consigned to the grave prepared at the foot ofthe
eallows. He had obstinalely PERSISTED in deni-
al of his guilt until a few days before his exc
cution, when he made a full confession.
Whilst the mandate of justice may require
an enforcement of capital punishment, yet the
scenes of this day too plainly manifested that
such punishment should be executed privately.

THE pREs1DENT,s MESSAGE.

| The Message of President FILLMORE is good
document, clear and explicit, and, no doubt, will
give general satisfaction. The President says
Gin our domestic policy, the Constitution shall
be my guide" regarding, as he does, call its
provisions as equally binding" To this none
will obect-it certainly is the true doctrine, and
if more practised upon by public men, would do
much 10 prevent these sectional differences that
some are DESTROYS of creating. Throughout, the
Message is whig, firm and decided, and the
measures recommended, are. discussed, in few
words and with great ability. With the tone
and spirit of the Message, all will be pleased
though much objection, and properly, too, will
be made, to the Protective Tariff notions of the
President. The no-puyty party which brought
the present administration into power, did not
discuss the Tariff question, CT in fact, any other
in the canvass, yet when the Tariff of 1916 was
alluded TO, ii was in such way as almost TO
claim it az whig measure. A Democratic Sc
nate and Democratic Congress will not mate
rally change the Revenue Tariff of 1916, when
according to the showing of the President, it
has produced such an amount of revenue. We
will give the opinions Of the press, in few
days, on the Message, though, we doubt not,
the reader will judge for himself.
The Virginia Free Press is SO delighted with
Mr.. FILLMORE that it has hosted him as the
Union candidate for the next Presidency. To
Offset this nomination, and to shew the Free
Press that the Democrats are as Union loring as
the Wings, we hoist the name Of LEWIS CASS,
and with the name of WM. o. BUTLER, FooTE
KING, of Alabama, or some other true-hearted
Union man, from the South or Southwest, the
Free Press knows that Mr. FILLMORE would
nc. be elected. Don't you, Mr.. GALLAHEa?

Destruction of the Insane Hospital By Fre-Loss
of Life.
AUGUSTA, MAINE, Dec 4


The hospital for the insane here was totally
DESTROYED by fire this morning. 1t is supposed
that from twenty to thirty lunaies persisted in
the flames. The fire was caused by defect in
the chimney. The alarm was first given by
some of the lunatcs, as soon as the fire was
discovered, but the keepers, surprising the noise
to have been made by some of the insane, such
as they were accustomed to give, gave no at
cred full of smoke. About ten or twelve ct
those who persisted were females. The female
gallery, however, was cleared without any loss
OF life. The hospital contained 1875 inmates,
one-half of whom were males. A large num-
Der OF the insane were necessarily turned out,
destitute of clothing, into the open air; some
have found refuge in the Jail and aims house,
others in private dwellings, while few are
wandering about. The hospital was new
building, about mile from the town OF Angus

President to inform the Senate why he has
dispensed with the services Of 50 many
Loco-Foco Patriots. Mr.. TURNEY told the
Senate all about the suferings Of the be-

subject, was postponed till Thursday and
the Omnibus was taken up and discussd by
Messrs. UNDERWOOD, KING, CLAY, HALE,
DODGE, and others. The question was on
the amendment of JEFFERSON DAVIS.
The HOUSE passed bill making appro-
priations for public buildings in Minnesota
and Oregon, and discussed some other mat
tiers, among them, bill to appoint Sur
veyor General for Oregon and grant lands to
actual settlers in that Territory.
