upon them, buried them deep under
the ground.
First, He made the yellow gold
gorgeous as the sun. And the angels
cried aloud, we praise Thee, 0 Lord.
Heaven and Earth are full Of the ma,
je>'y Of thy glory.
Then the white silver chas,e as
the moon, was made. Aud again the
angels cried, we praise thee, 0
Lord
Next the copper was forlned-,od
as the morning. Aud once more the
angels cried, Heaven md Earth are
full of the majesty Of thy glory
And then lie made the iron-grcy

grieved at the sight aud were silent.

From the Watchman.
SUMrERvILLE, 9Th Aug. 1852.

Messrs. Editors Dear Sirs: A
paragraph, which appeared, (without
my knowledge or consent) in the
Watcllman, some two or three weeks
ago, announcing me as q candidate for
the next Legislature, although discon-
tinued, seems to require some notice
at my hands.
Not being ambitious Of any political
distinction, and greatly preferring the
ease and quictude Of a retired If, to
the excitement and anxiety of a poli,i-
cal contest; | return my most sincere
thanks to "Alany Citizcn," for the
honor intended to be conferred; and
DO hereby most respectfully decline
the nomination, and positively assure
them, that / am no candidate, never
have been, nor ever expect to be.
Yours, most respectfully,
j. NJ PITTS.

DECAY OF ENTHUSIASM. PoLITIcAL
AND MILrTAEY.-Thcrc is remarkable
absence Of political and military en-
thusia>m in all the meetings that have
been held since the Baltimore nomina-
tons, of both parties, with The cxcep-.
ton of the first ratification meeting
he'd at Tammnny Hall, which was one
of a rather boistcrous kind. The meet
ing at Ncwburg was rather tame, and
the Lundy's Lane affair is as flat as
soda wa.or that has ceased to etiervescc.
This is not the season to get up the
steam, and tho politicians and the
newspapers have rather up hill work.
They pile log after log upon the fire;
but the boilers are lcaky, the machine
ry all out Of order, and the ship will
not SO ahead They do not seem to
understand that all the military en,hu-
siam that has ever been generated in
this country, has been preceded by
some political, social, financial, or popu /
lar movement, that stimulated it into
activity. But there has been nothing
OF this kind to operate now upon tho
national pulse. The country was new
er so prosperous, and the military en-
thusiasm is confined to the politicians
of both parties. 1t is far easier, just
now, to get up an excitement about
Goldfish, than about the military fame Of
Scott, or the private character Of
Pierce. 1t is easier even to get up the
steam about a steamboat accident. or
the breaking down of a ferry bridge;
and it seems the only outsiders who,
mingle in these political assemblages,
are rickpockcts, drunken rowdics, nd,
thieves OF all descriptions. What Il
curious phenomcnon it is, to see the
thieves and drmkards collected tagetfl.;

The FmE.-At 8 o'clock Wedncs
day evening we revisited the scene
OF the connagration, and have to add
that the block Of small wooden build
ings west Walnut-strcet, in the vicini-
ty Of the fire, have been nearly all de-
stroycd. The wind about this time
fortnnely died away, and the compa-
MES, by almost supcrhuman efforts,
succeeded i'll arresting the further pro-
grcss Of the dcvouriny clement, other
wise the loss might have been beyond
all calculation.
Most Of the buildings destroyed
were of but little value; but the sufle,
lings which must result from this fire
will long be felt by large and indus
trious class of our citizens. Over two
hundred persons have been rendered
housclcss at atimc when there is scarce
~ one unoccupied dwelling in the city.
Owing to the contilsions which pre-
walls, it is impossible to obtain a cor.
rect statement Of the various losses.
We learn that the following are the
principal sufferers: II. Thumaston, J.
Friend, w. w. Johnson. c. Pickett
S. Zcigler, }. Naylor, Mr.. Stafford
Mr.. Cook, Mrs. Morningstar, estate ol
Roberts, and the estate Of Wiukler.

TnE CosTRAsT.-The Pennsylvan-
ian draws the following strong contrast
between the candidates for President:
Gen. Scorr AND GEN. PIEnoE.-We
accord full honor to Gen. Scott as
hero; but like Gen. Taylor, who
was frank and fearless enough to
confess his incapacity for the Pres
idential chair, we do not believe he
is competent TO the duties of the
high station TO which he aspires. Gen
eral Taylor, we had abundant Whig
authority in 1913 for saying, was
superior to Scott i'll many respects,
especially i'll modesty, in prudence,
and in the management of those in
his command. Hence the comparison
is hardly treasurablc Nor will it
be treasurablc to say that Gen. Pierce
is a filter man for President, by
ten thousand times than Gen. Scott.
] he career and the character of the
Democratic candidate alike and a.
bundan,ly establish this fact. The
two, however, furnish some strange
Gen. Pierce has modcstly rciraincd
give few:
Gen. Pierce has molestly RETAINED
from pressing himself for public
station. Gen. Scott has never been
satisfied, but has always been cry
ing with the horse-lccch, "Give, give,
give" whether of Office or emoIument.
Gen. Pierce has repeatedly resigned
high stations, preterring the quiet of
private life. Gen. Scott has never
been satisfied, but now holds, and
doubtless will continue to hold his
position rs Commandcr-in-c chief Of
the Army of the United States, cv-
en- while the Wing candidate for
Piesldcnt-a position worth, with the
pcrqulsi,cs, amounts to about ten
thousand dollars gear
Gen. Pierce is singularly un-
obtrusire, wcll-balanccd, and well.
disciplined statesman. Gen. Scott is
vain, seIi.opinionAtcd, and lily
regulated public man.
Gen. Pierce, in his whole career.
has never once pandercd TO fanatici,,n,
whatever shape it assumed. Gen.
Scott was originally for Native AM
erlcanism, and for years past has
given his confidence to the leaders of
the free soil Wings.
The contrast Ihay be, and will
be continued hereafter"

Of the Indian territory, but the troops
have boon recently Withdrawn from
that post, and another Fort was in pro

that this latter place was tho point Of

trains which are now crossing the
plains; Fort Smith being one OF the
starting points for emigrants. Capt.
Marcy belonged to the 5th Infantry
lie Was the son OF Gov. Marcy, who
was Secretary of War in President
Polk's Cabinet. Capt. Marcy was an
officer of great accomplishments, and
his death, if the news rs reported shall
prove true will be severely felt in the
service. The report does not augur
well for the safety of the California
trains.
