Affairs In Georgetown.

GEoRGETowN, May 27-l2 m.
A fire occurred last night in the corn and plas-
ter-mill of Mr.. Joseph Nicholson, situated upon
Water street, which entirely consumed it, to-
gether with his saw-mill and machine shop, with
most of their contents. The engines of our own
town, together with several from Washington,
were promptly on the spot, and made every effort
10 suppress the flames, but to no purpose. Mr..
Nicholson was insured in the Fremen's Office, in
Washington, for $4,000; Empire State Mutual
Insurance Company, New York, for 800; and
in the Potomac, Georgetown, for $3O0-which
amounts, it is supposed, will nearly cover his
oss. There is no doubt that it was the work Of
an incendiary.
In addition to the many improvements we have
already noticed Mr.. Henry Trunnel has nearly
completed two large frame dwellings on Prospect
Hill.
From every direction we hear the most cheer
ing reports of the prosperous appearance OF the
growing crop Of small grain.
Several thousand pounds of butter from wag-
ons, sold yesterday at $20@$22 per 100 lbs.
Flour remains firm at our last report. Wheat,

Bridge Across the Potomac.

A writer in the Intellgencer of this morning
prop oses to commence the bridge on Z street, in
'front.' of the Observatory in sections of one hundred
to two hundred feet, as may be cheapest and
best with stone piers and superstructures of iron,
grad ually risingto such elevation as may be neces-
sary for vessels to pass UNDER to point in the
river four hundred feet from the western edge Of
the present channel This space to be spanned
with suspension bridge. From the western
abutment of the suspension bridge he proposes
to cross Anaostan island, and the west arm Of
the river, to point on the Virginia shore (west
of the Alexandria canal) which may be most suit
able, in the same manner in which he arrives at
the eastern abutment.
Respecting this enterprise, we perceive ono
very gratifying indication-it is, that Congress is
indisposed to waste appropriations in potterng
with the old mischievous concern, to remove
which is the only good that can be done with it

Certa in are we that no declaration of fnality can
be made in the Democratic Convention to which
the Wing Convention cannot assent with equal

ever made by party is that of our Democratic

VIZ. Weightman read certain papers, which show

the States are dissatisfied with the state OF bust
mess while the custom of the army is lost to

The losses to the farmers and graziers, in cattle
lriven away by the Indians, is equal to half a

This is the protection our government is giving
to New Mexico; and yet a proposition to arm

would be pronounced impossible. We cannot
c opmand our patience to dwell upon the subject.
We were of those who believed that New Mexico

bell eve they should not be retained without that
