Tn. Fire at the Capitol.

We regret to learn, as we do by letter from
the president of the Anacostia Fire Company,
that some members of that company think we
have done them injustice in our notice defending
the "watch" at the Capitol from censure. he
says that company were the first to place their
engine on the eastern portico, to tear away the
copper covering, and bring stream OF water TO
play on the flames. We beg him and his com
pany to bear in mind that we were defending the
/" watch" from the charge of inexcusable negli-
gence; and that such was our regard for the cor
rect and gentemanly department Of the fire COM
panies and such was our sense of their merits on
that OCCASION that we ayailed ourselves OF the
defence of the watch from unmerited censure to
commend the fire companies, not only for their
active and efficient aid in arresting the flames,
but for the general propriety Of their conduct.
We can assure Captain Gordon that it gives us
great pleasure to say that he and his company
are entitled to special praise for the service which
they rendered; and that in saying, as we did,
that praise instead of censure was due to Captain
Huntington and the watch, we had not the slight
est idea that any one would suppose that we gave
them all the praise for extinguishing the fire.
Indeed, we would even now name others--Sena-
tors, members of Congress, and officers of the
government-who aided to arrest the flames, and
whose conduct was worthy of all praise, did we
not know that where SO many did their duty, we
should do injustice by naming any to the omis-
sion of others. If any are assailed for culpable
negligence, twill be our duty to defend them; and
that is our apology for what we have written in
defence of the watch. And we do not hesitate
to say that we felt it to be more our duty to de-
fend the watch because they are men in humble
position, and therefore mere in need of such de-
fence as we can and always do give to such men
when thus assailed.

N[From the Richmond Daily Dispatch.l
Death ofyym. @. Carring gton, Editor OF the
NiclmOud Yimes.o


aRichmond Times"
We were greatly shocked yesterday morning to
hear that Mr.. VIM. G. Darlington, Editor Of the
" Richmond Times" had died Monday night We
had heard that he was sick, but never dreamed
that death was 80 near him. He died about half
past ten o'clock Monday night, in his 3lst year,
Of typhoid fever, contracted by exposure in that
ardent devotion to his editorial labors which
marked hiscareer in the profession.
Mr.. Darlington became connected with the
" Times" then {" Times and Compiler, in 1846,
and in two or three years became the sole proprie
tor of that paper. As an editor, he exhibited
great industry, solid ability, and extraordinary
Judgment and prudence for so young a man. BY
the exercise of these valuable qualifications for
an editor, he attracted no small share of public
attention, and his paper commanded the general
respect and high consideration of both the press
and the public. He had been recently elected one
of the delegates from this city to the legislature,
under the new constitution, in which capacity
valuable services were expected from him. His
bright future has been suddenly obscured by the
dark wing of the destroyer, whose icy hand has
arrested him upon the very threshold of his new
career, where fresh honors awaited him,
1t is sad thing always to see young man
die but when such one as we have here--one SO
well fitted for public usefulness, who had COM
menced an honorable public career with so per-
severing and steady step, who had attracted SO
large share of public attention, and who had
inspired alike the pride and hope of friends
when such as he is hurried to the grave, just as
it we're in the dawn Of his career, it becomes an
afiiction Of more than ordinary severity, and is
to be deplored as such. He died like philoso-
pher- -triumphing over death-preserving to the
last the most admirable calmness and resigna-
tion-and making his last communications to his
friends with remarkable clearness and selfpos-
session. .sa....
We knew Mr. Darlington at college. His mild
and gentlemanly department won for him the
love of his associates while, as q mere youth,
the steadiness and dignity of his character COM
manded general confidence and respect. Since
then we have seldom met, but we have watched
with pleasure his rising cminence, and mourn for
him as the friend of our schoolboy days.-ED.

LADIES, BEwARE!-A lady at Lafayette, Mis-

falling on tobacco-pipe she was smoking, the
stem of which was forced clear through her neck.

A REASONABLE PRAYER.-John T. Flournoy
memorializes the legislature Of Georgia to pass a
law legalizing polygamy. Win not some enter
prising Yankee contract to carry John and as
many fair ones as he may possess to the realms
of the Grand Sultan? That will be easier than
to change the laws of Georgia on the subject Of
marriage. Highly as we prize our national Union,
We prize still higher the union of a good man
and good woman in the holy bonds of wedlock
and we would favor neither laws permitting po-
lygamy nor laws extending too great facilities for
enforcement, Our ideas Of Intervention, how
ever, would not induce us to invade the territory

The Late Fires.

The two recent melancholy and most destruc-
tive confagrations in Chestnut street, among
other natural effects have produced a very con-
siderable excitement in the public mind on the
subject of the alleged general insecurity of the
walls of modern buildings, and the necessity of
providing remedy against an evil which tells so
heavily alike against the property and the lives
of citizens.
Generally speaking, it would be safer to refer
the weakness of modern buildings so far as they
arc weaker than ancient ones, to the new style of
construction now in vogue, the characteristics of
which are very high walls and an immense num-
Der of windows. And if we look upon many
modern walls, with their huge expanse of win
dows, shall see that they consist mainly Of Sc
ries of tall piers, or pillars-narrow obelisks 80
to speak-of brick and mortar, which are not
very strongly banded together, or made into any
thing like solid whole, by the brickwork con-
nexions between the several tiers Of windows
Something of lateral support, likewise, is doubt
less sacrificed to the fashion of spacious apart
ments rejecting the ties of strong partitions.
Mischief is felt, and more threatens to be felt
from the alarm with which our brave fremen are
beginning to regard the high walls now rising in
all quarters of the city; and if we would not i'm
pair their efficiency, to which we have been so
long accustomed to look for the rescue of our
dwellings, and warehouses from the flames, we
must take means to remove the growing impress
sion of danger which checks, if it does not some
times paralyze, their exertions. There is ques-
ton here Of interest, rs well as of humanity
Both address themselves to our feelings. 1t will
be most advantageous if we suffer them also to
appeal to our judgments. american.
