The Fire ON Tuesday.

: Our semweekly paper had just been issued or
Tuesday last, when the alarm of fire was given,
which hprovedto to be the cotton house ofC. J:Shan-
non, Esq,l containing upwards of two hundred
and fifty bales of cotton, of which about twenty
only. were saved. The cotton was mostly owned
by Col. L. J. Patterson of this District, and as we
understand not insured. The loss is estimated,
over seven thousand dollars.
The building was evidently set on fire, and it is
high lime that our citizens should be on the look
out for villains. A Committee of Vigilance ought
to be formed, whose especial business Gas we'll as
that of all good ctizens) should be to exercise a
strict scrutiny into the character of suspicious
persons. ~

Bombay from Jedda and Mocha, with four

sop, and the Naeody, finding his vessel drifting
in shallow water, let go his anchors. In the
:: middle Of the night, the ship laboriue and roll
ing very much, lost her rudder; soon after this,
the cable parted, and she. drove onithe Island
Of Kenery. Daylight found the bottom of the
ship gone, and the remains of the wreck driven
along side the fort wall; the boats broken or
washed away: Many of the passengers step
ped from the vessel on the walls, but numbers
were cast into the sea and drowned. Nearly
one hundred and seventy FIVE are missing This
is another instance of the awful sacrifice of life
occurring fronlsa vessel being lost from the
want fsails, anchors &c, and the absence Of
8 efficient officers to manage her. The sails OF
the Ali, t, Rohoman were blown away, aud
there weresno others TO replace them, and she
appears to have been sadly deficient in anchors

sentiments, and are at lass to Rnow how such
man has SO long imposed upon the American peo-

will be published in pamphlet form, and be dis
semipated through the whole Union. ***

TO the Young Ladies. Il have found that
the men who are really the most fond OF the
ladies, who cherish for them high respect, are
seldom the most popular with the SEX Men Of
great assurance, whose tongues are highly
hung, who make words supply the place fideas
and place compliment in the room Of sentimrnt,
are the favorites. A due respect for woman
leads to respectful action toward them; and
respectful is usually distant action, and this
great distance is mistaken by them for neglect
or want ofinterest Addison. -. 80

Our information asSto Cuban affairs is aug.
meDted by some few facts of considerable In
terest. Itis now known that the PamperosTss
equipped, and sailed, with. the knowledge Of
the officers of the Government at New Orleans,
but without any hindrance from them. The
Pampero was not cleared atthe Custom House,
thoogh her sailing and the object of her expe-.
diton must have been known to the Collector.
Besides this, it appears that Gen. TSiggs, some
weeks before the Pampero sailed; notified the
Collector that an expedition was on foot, bnt
the Collector replied that il, must be a mistake.
After the Pampero hadsailed. he wrote to Gen.
Twiggs and protested his ignorance sof, the ex-t
pedition. Gen. Twiggs, as commander Of the
southern, military district, was under irstrnc.j
tons TO keep an eye over the Fillibusteros.r.--;
But if the Government officers and the most
popular and influential presses and politicians,
in New Orleans are. Fillibusteros, it is sanite
idle to makeany opposition to their projects.
'Tne United States Marshall for the District
of New Orleans is here; and the District Attor-
ney, Mr.. Hunton was recently here General

Trn;r,d STATES in Congress assembled The memo
rial Of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
thsv are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th of September, 1885, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be-
that tbev do not expect or desire to reside the
land thus granted, that if patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be AN snnual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assume
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to net for 'nemseNes'
whereas many of them are among the most intel
ligen, and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be 30 modified AZ to make the warrants ior
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
