Mr.. Brown, the property Of Michael
Connor, also the kitchen and part Of
the dwelling Of w. B. Robcrts--used
as a boarding house. Fortunately
the wind set in from the East and
blew the flames towards the river:
which prevented the fire from crossing
North street. The small Office at
tached to the Foundry Of Messrs. Hill
& Henderson on the left hand side Of
Lafayette, was in great jeopardy, and
was only saved by super-human arer.

the sufferers with commendsble zeal
and great credit for energy aud prompt

Capt. Barry Of the Barracks, was out
with an efficient corps Of men, and.did
valuable service in preventing the
spread of the flames. Mr.. Brown we
learn has small insurance, but none

The Ferry.

Capt. Robinson, one of the proprietors OF
the ferry boat between this place and Rock
Island has called on US in relation To the
statement which in our paper Of the a3d
inst.-and he thinks that we have done him
injustice in our former remarks. He says
that they have not neglected any thing 10
get the boat over on this side at the proper
season, but on Saturday morning, the pump
was out Of order and the boat vas conse-
euen,lv delayed
We willingly make this explanation on
Capt Robinson's request; though At the
same time We think that another boat is ne
ccssary for the accommodation Of the tray-
cling public. Whether this be fact or no,
is question which ought to be submitted
10 the Judgment Of the community.
We will add to the above, that Capt Rob.
inson tells Us that the boat was over here
on Saturday morning in time to take over
all passengers who wanted TO travel on the
cars.
We add also, as an item Of interest TO the
public, that the present profrie'ors of the
ferry intend putting on a new boat, at an
expense OF $1,000. They deserve credit
for their new arrangement, and if they then
come over a little sooner in the morning.
nobody will complain of them.

1 sophism Exposed.

Decidedly the gros sest sophism which has
been pu, out in connection with the Nebras-
ka bill, is that which commends it to the
attention Of republican people. because
they are iiattered with the idea OF self-sove-
reignty.
The supporters Of the bill tell us, that
BY the doctrines OF repubiieanisnl, the pea-
pie Of this country who move into new
territory have a right to decide whether that
territory should be free or slave State,
when they cone u form State Cons,itn-
ton.
