MlspRECrEp LErrERs.--We publish in another
column list Of uncalled for letters in the Pila-
delphia and Pittsburg Post Offices, which have
been sent there by Inisdirection, and which are
intended for mercantile firms in this city, Boston,
Pistsburg and Cincinnati. This list, as those
others which We have published recently from
time to time, is got up and furnished rs by Mr..
Walter B. Dick, OF No. 1898 North Eighth street,
Philadelphia, whose only iDducement for doing
so is his very laudable desire to do gratuitous
service to his fellow men. When ne first COM
menced sending us these lists we furnished him
with directories of New York, Boston, Baltimore
and Philadelphia, which were indispensable to
him, and we continue to send him the journals Of
those cities in which the uncallcd for letters are
advertised.
Some five or six weeks ago, in calling the at
tention of our mercantile community and the
Post Office authorities to the advantages which
they derive from this voluntary and gratuitous Ia
Dor of Mr.. Dick We informed them of his request
TO be furnished with copies of the directories of
Charleston, S. c., Savannah. Mobile, New Or
leans, st. Louis and Louisville. We took it for
granted that his request had only to be thus sig
nifed to insure its being speedily and thankfully
complied with. In that assumption however, we
baye been disappointed. The directories have
not been furnished to him, and be Justly COM
plains of this regardlessness by our merchants Of
their own interests. We should suppose that the
managers Of the Chamber Of Commerce would not
need to have this very moderate request repeat
ed Mr.. Dicks labors, slight and humble as
they are may be the cause Of saving thousands
of dollars annually to the merchants Of this city,
and they should be ashamed to have him ask the
second time for few books necessary to the pro-
per performance Of his voluntary task, and
which would not cost more than few dollars.

Awful Calamity---Seven Lives Lost oy


We are once more called to chronicle
one of those melancholy events which
calls into painful exercise all the sympa-
thetic feelings of our nature. To the
loss Of property, when properly viewed
we can be reconciled, but to witness the
companions of our youth, or bosom
friend writhing in the agonies of death,
without the possibility Of escape, can
only be endured with pangs of the most
heart-rending character. The following
are the particulars of the sad affair."
About half past twelve o'clock, on Fri
lay night the cabinet manufactorv of
Casper and Henry Prangc, situated on
the Belletontaine road, between Angel
rodt and Detrean streets, was discover
ed to be in flames; contiguous to and
Immediately in the rear of the shop was
a building, the residence of the proprie-
tors. Alarm being given, in short
space of time large numbers from the
neighborhood assembled and succeeded
in saving most of the furniture from the
dwelling, and also portion of the Prop
erty in the shop. But the sad tale is
vet to be told.
In the general confusion and excite
ment of the occasion, it was forgotten
that ten operatives of the establishment
were sleeping in the attic Of the shop;
they were, however, soon appraised OF
the fact, in witnessing three ofthe unfor-
tunate beings precipitating themselves
from the windows. The other seven.
horror stricken and berett ofreason, were
seen huddled together, uttering their
heart rendering cries for assistance,
but it was too late-all communication
with the upper part of the building be-
ing cut off. In few minutes the floor
fell, and the poor unfortunate victims
were mingled with the burning masses
of ruins below,
The following are their names: Jno.
Moller. William Gercker, Friedrich Huelt-
man, Herman Hueltman, Herman Alien,
Remmer and Herman Obenhausen.
The buildings were owned by the oc-
cupants, and were valued at $500, and |
insured for 5000. There was no insur- |
ance on the movable property destroyed |
which amounted to about $4,000: about |
$500 of which belonged to workmen in |
the establishments
John Molier, who leaves wife and |
two children, residing on the Merrimac
river, and FREDERICK Gercker, who has
two brothers in this city were the only
ones OF the victims who had relatives in |
this country: all of them were natives OF
Germany.
The charred remains in detached |
state, OF some of the bodies, were re-
covered on Saturday from the ruins, but
IN that crushed and broken condition.
that barely sufficient remained to show
that they were once clothed in human

the pier as to render her almost a total
wreck
The barque Stannardis atanchor outside
with colors half mast and not water
enough to bring her in.
The j. K. Gid lings is also. dismasted,
and the Fashion lies in the same CON
dition. A large schooner lies two or
three miles to the South with foremost
and maintop gone.
The Brig Bostonis ashore at Calumet
with n load of lumber
The Schooner Ketchum is ashore some
ten miles north of New Buffalo.
by telegraph from Buffalo, we learn
that some twenty vessels are ashore
and badly damaged. The Brig Cum
berland is reported lost with all hands
on board.
Capt. Champney; ofthe schooner Yer
mont, arrived at Buffalo yesterday after
noon, says on Tuesday last he saw IA
large steamer or propeller near Long
Point, lying in the trough of the sea,
wholly mmanageable. Hersmoke pipes
were overheard, and crowd of persons
were on the hurricane deck. She must
have swamped before the storm was
over. He could not render her any
assistance, or learn the name of the yes

by which the north has been deluded on
this occasion, were not believed by those
who urged them, and will not be con-
sidered in the administration of the gov
eminent. The platform on which Bu-
chanan run, the influences which nomi-
mated him, and the power which elected
him, are infinitely more completely and
intensely pro-slavery, than any power
which ever before chose President
To expect that that power will not pur-
sue its own interests, its own clearly
marked designs, is about as reasonable
as to suppose that the tiger viii not de-
your the lamb which it has just snatched
| from the flock.
The Charleston Standard, which rep
resents as completely as any other pa
per of the Union, the real sentiment OF
the present democratic and dominant
party, has just concluded series of ar
ticles in favor of rc-opening the African
Slave trade; President Fillibuster w ak
n of Nicaragua has re-opened that trade
with that country, and the South already
:lamors for the annexation of Nicara-
qua; Cuba is just where she was when
| Buchanan recommended that she should
De wrested from Spain to make new
lave territory for the Union; Atkinson
till fiourishes the bloody Kansas code
over that territory, and demands its re-
,ognition; insidious attempts are making
20 introduce slavery into Oregon, and
border rufianism is already felt on the
confines of Nebraska; the ordinance of
1887, just as unconstitutional as the
Missouri restriction, yet remains unre-
)ealed; and there is strong sentiment
IN the north in favor of freedom vet un-
'ubdued. The slave power has work
enough before it, and it will pursue it
lnhinchingly.
viii the Republican party then die
out? If it pleases God to spare the Re
public during another fouryears' scourge
If pro-slavery power, we are willing to
ct another trial of the ballot-box an
'wer the question.
