We have more wind than news here to- day. 1t

and | understand some damage has been done by
blowing roofs off houses, &c.
The telegraph is blamed with some plumbers in
regard to the proceedings of the South Carolina
Legislature, which fairly attributable to it.
the fault was partly on account Of some laundering
correspondent, who did not comprehend the nature
Of affairs, and partly to the Telegraph South getting
out of order when only haif he story told. The
telegraph is more sinned against than shining by
persons who use it as a mode of transmitting nom
sense.
The tenor of the recent news from Europe is
more pacific, and leads the hope that continen-
tai difficulties will be amicably arranged.
There is one feature in the foreign news, as now
received of which persons should be cautious. II
is the pretended one day later Advices brought by
the same steamer. This is generally re-hash of
old news spcod with considerable fiction, and got
ten up for speculative purposes. Merchants, and
especially cotton dealers South, should be very eau
tious OF il. II is almost universally manufactured
on this side Ii is we'll that this part should be
known.
All is life and gaiety in preparation for the ap-
preaching holidays. The streets thronged
with thousands out buying presents.

ALARM.-There would have been fire alarm
yesterday afternoon, ii the bells and the boys could
have pitched their voices above that of old Boreas;
but, luckily, he silenced them. The source OF the
alarm was the burning of a chimney on 10th street.
near q; and never before did such fire is
sue from chimney top. II was petite Vesuvius,
minus the lava, and continued so long that we be-
gan to fear the interior Of the chiny was made CT
bitumnous coal If it had occurred on a rainy day,
it would have seemed much better; if on windy
night, it might have turned out much worse. Fires
are fearful things in Washington, with our limited
supply of water.

Commodor. smith. Report.

We publish this morning the annual report Of
Commodore SMITH, Chief of the Bureau of
Yards and Docks. In consequence of the pressure
of official documents upon our columns of late,
we have been compelled 10 abridge this document
10 some extent, preserving we believe 50 much
of il as may be of interest 10 the public, and
emitting that portion which is more Immediately
addressed to the consideration of Congress, with
the view of explaining the necessity OF the APP
preparations called for in the estimates.
