The origin Of the fire is not known. We
learn that the stable had been locked up some
twenty five or thirty minutes before the FIRE was
discovered Dr. Stewart saw tbs light from
his bed room window in the White. House, and
gave the alarm. The FIRE started in the rear
and corner of the st1ble. Efforts were made to
save the horses. A few we're saved, but about
so burned One horse had been got out to the
opposite side of the street, and then ran back
into the flames and persisted. In Egbcrts stable

with 500 bushels grain (uuinsuredb several

A multitude of incidents to the fire might be
named had we room. The danger was imminent,
the crowd very large, the excitement tremend-
Gus, the noise and confusion awful, and the whole
scene frightful in the extreme. In the morning,
johnson st. was lined with plumber, and the
ruins, and during the entire day yesterday
crowds were about the smouldering ruins. Also
the sitting and sickeuing fumes from the burn
ing carcasses were permitted to blow over our
part of town the entire day,
On the whole, is not this a lesson to our

nation? How long shall it be sou It's no
use talking. Now is the time to act. Go to the

The Buccaneers say in their speeches that
they are not in favor of the extension of slave

AND PROBABLY WILL, ORIGINATE A RE

From the same, dug. 29M.
THE ELECTION OF MR. BUCHANAN
WOULD BE A REACTIONARY MOVEMENT
IN FAVOR OF SLAVERY AND CONSERV-
ATISM.
The n. Y. Day Book, a Buchanan Sheet,
says:
''NEGRO SLAVERY IS THE FOUNDATION
| OF LIBERTY AND THE ESSENCE OF De
| MOCRACY"
"MR BUCHANAN AND THE ENTIRE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY, MAINTAIN THAT
| EVERY NAN HAS A RIGHT TO GO AND
SETTLE IN THE TERRITORIES WITH HIS
PROPERTY, SLAVE OR ANY OTHER KIND
| Nashville (Tenn.) Union.
| 1.-THE South has asserted and will maintain
! its equality in the Union. The men in the
South, even when they differ on the abstract
question of slavery in the general, say to the
| Federal Government, the common agent OF all
the States. you shall know no difference be-
tween the property and institutions of the
South and those of the North. Be slavery
| right or wrong i'll the abstract, you, as equal
agents Of shareholders and non-slaveholders, are
| BOUND TO SEE THAT IT Is ADMITTED,
LIKE ANY OTHER PROPERTY, INTO ALL
| THE TERRITORIES OF THE UNION, AND
| EQUALLY SECURED AND PROTECTED, AT
TER SUCH ADMISSION. ANY GROUND
SHORT OF THAT IS ABOLITION-IS AN IN
SUIT, A WRONG, AND A ROBBERY OF THE
SOUTH."-[ Quincy Herald. ra-
