which it devotes to the subject, then we stand
together, and we hope it will do its best to
carry out our common convictions. In the be
lief that, after all, we may possibly yet be
found on the same side in the controversy, we
will give the Union some advice. Let it get
rid Of its habit Of using coarse language.

These are figures of speech which none
but ill-bred men or very youthful rhetoricians
ever use. They add no strength to an argu-
mcnt, and if we may be allowed to speak from
our own experience, are not very telling wea-
pons in controversy. II the Union were q
little more abstemous in this respect, and tried
the effect Of occasional flashes Of truth, it would
only offer these hints because we fancy the
Union is going to advocate some views which
we share. We should not have thought OF
complaining Of the systematic abuse which the
Union has showered upon our paper and our
person during the last few months. We think
we can safely say that the incessant stream Of
calumny and hard words-original and selected
with which the Union has visited our INSIDE
meanors, has never once provoked us to retort
upon old General Armstrong the principal
proprietor Of that paper, or Nicholson, the prin-
cipal editor. How they would like to be called
"vogabonds" aud polluted wretches," &C.,
&c, day after day, we cannot say. Whatever
feelings such course on the part of the official
organ might arouse in their breasts. were they
in our position, and we in theirs, they would
doubtless set less value on the abuse lavished on
them if they had in their pockets o full refuta-
ton Of the ISLANDERS, and full vindication Of
their character from no less an authority than
he President OF the United States.

ers Of the real estate having given the land for
nothing-while the fees Of counsel and commits
sioners amounted at first to S2750 This, how.
ever, being rejected by the court, another effort
was made by taking into the proposed improves
ment portion of the street which had been
already open for many years-and this time the
costs swelled to So OSl. If this is not already
paid we advise an immediate settlement, for
there is no telling what it will amount to in q
few months longer Senator Whitney. from
this city, has recently introduced bill pro-
hibiting the Counsel of the Corporation from re-
ceiving fees in any case of opening streets and
avenues; and although this functionary. as we
understand, has gone to Albany With SQUAD
Of friends and dependents for the purpose of de-
eating the passage Of the bill, yet we trust that
the Legislature win not be champagned or bam-
boozled into defeating or neglecting this salu-
tary measure. 1t is true that it stops up but
one leakhole; but when we are at sea in gale,
with the piston-rod broken and the gallant ship
laundering any relief is vitality welcome.
We have, however, very little serious hope
of the passage of this bill. as a majority of the
New York city delegation in the Legislature
have been too well drilled in the part they ara
to play. topermit any real retrenchment to take
place IN the administration Of the affairs of the
city Besides, schemes Of personal interest
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT are pressing upon them
from every quarter, and occupying I'll their
time and attention. Amongst others we learn
that delegation is now in Albany, headed by
an editor Of a particularly reformative Wall
street journal, to log-roll bill through the
present Legislature authorizing the city Of
New York to issue S200O,0 900 of stock. in the
shape of loan, to pay of the debts and liabili-
ties incurred by the law Of 1843 authorizing
the corporation to buy in the real estate for
feited for non-payment Of taxes, which law
was subsequently set aside by Judge Edmonds
and the decision sustained by the Court Of APP
peals. This nice little plumb pudding of
S2,O0O000 is anxiously watched in the cook
ing, and everybody expects to get handsome
slice. But we shall see how far the members
from the other parts of the State will permit
themselves to be humbugged and hoodwinked
by the Peter Funk lobby members from New
York city and their hungry friends.

Great Fire at Minnesota.

ABOUT an hour before daylight on
Friday morning, fire broke out in Macs
& Co.'S Bakery, at Minnesota, which ulti-
mately destroyed all the business part Of
the town. The wind was blowing very
strongly from the North East, and the
houses being mostly Of dry clapboards, it
was useless to attempt to combat the
flames, as they swept down both sides Of
Main Street. Only three houses were left
standing. The whole loss is estimated at
sS5 900; that Of Fleeschhacker s Co. at
$4,000; A. S. McMillen & Co., together
with Larigtdn & Bros Express, in the
same building $1,000. Nothing Of copse.
quence was saved; and it was With diff
Guilty that the inhabitants escaped with
even their wearing apparel.
Mr.. Dodson, of Langton & Bros Min
nesota Express, brought the intelligence
from Minnesota to Downieville, in an hour
and a quarter.

The receipts of the evening were about
one thousand dollars. The accommoda-
tons were very satisfactory, through the
very perfect arrangements ofMr. Colville,
who preceded the company, and has con-
troll Of the business department.
On Wednesday night the comic drama
of the Jacobite was presented. Mr.. Kent
appeared as John Duck, one of his great
est characters, and gave if possible great
er satisfaction than on the preceding eve
ming. This was followed by the Yankee
farce @Ole Bull written by Mr.. Burke,
who personated Ebeneser Calf. On Thurs
day evening the comedy of ssSwecthearts
and Wives was presented, in which Mr..
Burke appeared as Billy Lackaday-a lac
rymosc, slab-sided Yankee, who was the
victim of grief and the tender passion,
with an occasional streak of sunshine fall
ing actoss his path.
The bill for Friday night was particu-
larry attractive, comprising the comedies
of the "Dumb Belle" and the 1Wooldeal-
er, concluding with the burlesque Of 'sWo-
mans Rights" Mr.. Dumphries in the
comedy of '9The Wool Dealer" was par
ticularly successful in his personation of
Bob. His delineations of Irish character
are exceedingly good, and were appre-
ciated by the audience.
Unusual attractions are offered this eve
ming, being the well known and justly
celebrated play of "Toodles," in which Mr..
Burke takes that original character. Kent
also appears as Galochard in the after
piece of "The Kings Gardner Mr..
King performs a musical solo on q penny
whistle.
No one, we believe, left the Theatre
during the week disappointed; on the con-
trary general satisfaction has been ex-
pressed. in regard to the company. It is
seldom that we have ali opportunity of
listening to players Of acknowledged abIl-
ity, and il the Thcateris not crowded this.
and tomorrow evening, it will speak little
in favor Of the taste of the Downievillians.

respecting the reception Of the majority

to bring about fermentation, which, it was
expected would throw off something which
would materially benefit the State.
