Twenty Thousand Bales of Cotton Burned in
the Alabama Cotton Press--Loss Nearly
One Million.
The Alabama Cotton Press, situated on
the square bounded by Tchoupitoulas, Race,
st. Thomas and Basin streets, was. with its
contents, entirely destroyed by fire last night
ID ult., } making one Of the most destructive
3 conAacrations which ever occurred ia this
city.
The fire broke out in the upper portion of
tbe Press at about 5 O'Clock in the evening;
how. cannot be ascertained. The shipping
clerk discovered it in its incipiency, and ran
for bucket Of water to extinguish it, but be-
fare he could get back the flames had spread
os if by magic. and all his efforts and those
Of others whom he called to his aid, proved
mavailing. A general alarm was then CIV
on but before any engines arrived the ele-
mental destroyer had taken entire possession
Of the spacious yard, in which were slowed
about 5000 bales OF cotton, and all that
was within human possibility was done to
n~event the flames from extending their al
ready wide arena A number Of bales in
the lower wing Of the Press were rolled out
in the street and saved, and indeed some
that were left remaining in that wing, as that
norton Of the establishment did not share
the fate Of the rest,
At the lowest computation. 10000 bales
were burned, which, at SO per bale, will
amount to 100000. A great portion of
this cotton was held on foreign account, leav-
ing the probability that the loss will be d.
vidod among a great number Of Insurance
Offices domestic and foreign The loss on
the offices in this city, will, from all we can
learn, fall most heavily on the "Home Mu-
tual, the Crescent and the Sun Mutu-
al"
The loss Of our worthy fellow, citizen, John
". Bell, the proprietor of the press, will be
from $4,000 to $25,000, he being entirely
uninsured. We could not learn whether the
sheds and buildings were insured or not, and
cannot therefore say on whom the loss will
fall.
As fire will remain in the smouldering
heaps of the destroyed cotton bales for sever
al DAYS, the utmost caution will have to be
observed, least a spark should find Its way
to other cotton yards, which, on every hand
are contiguous to that which was unfortunate

It's little singular ($ay7 a correspond
ent Of the Baltimore Patr.o) that the elec-
ton Of Gou. Pierce was the last success
which the Democracy has anywhere achiey-
ed. In North Carolina with clear ma;or-
lty IN the Legislature It was unable to
elect Its candidate for the Senate. and at
last took up a renesed, from the Wing par
ty, and failed with aim Ia Maine, one Of
the strongest Northern Democratic States
1t lost its Governor. and appears IN fair way
to concede the Senate to the Wings. In
Massachusetts, where it has borne sway for
two years, it has experienced terrible de-
feat; losing all, save its honor, which was
left behind long ago, as an unconsdered
trlfe. In Delaware, Mr.. Clayton has rid
den over all opposition, though he and his
friends have been ostracsad for three years
in the little Bay State. In New jersey the
Democracy saved appearance only by con-
terrlng Its choicest honor upon Whir,
whose coat has so recently turned that the
gloss Is not yet worn of. In Louisiana the
democracy undertook to reverse the act of
the previous Wing Legislature, with so lit
tie success that its representatives at Wash
lngton city are denying the attempt.
