kept as n hotel. The Ere originated in a room oc,
cupied rs n Grocery, by Caleb johnson. The
whole building was consumed. together with the
contents. No Insurance.. An imperfect hue was the
cause of the fire. The citizens labored heroically,
dnd saved the stable and she'd, which were nearly
adjoining the building. A large rrame on tho op-
posite side OF the street occupied by DR.. Woodruff,
caught fire butthe flames were distinguished before
serious damage was done.
The Cincinnati Price Current saws that the
banks Of Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio have con.
tracted their circulation to the extent of eight mil.
lions dollars, since the monetary troubles com.
menced-a terrible contraction and ono which ful.
ly explains the scarcity Of money, especially
when it is remembered that the contraction has
been going on everywhere. The country is now
doing business Tor trying to do i) with at least
fifty millions Of dollars less in circulation than
there were three months ago.--The Price current
expects that the banks will soon REISSUE their pa
per but this is an expectation without a basis.
Banks ore like indiyiduals-they will take care
of them selves; and they will not issue paper
with the certainty Of its coming right back to
them.
Orr FOR NIcAEAcUA-The steame: Fashion,
with Il portion Of WALKERS men. and a good store
of provisions and amunitions of war. got off from
New Orleans very early yesterday morning. In
the aiternoon, WALLER himself, and staff"
with three hundred moro of his men, embarked
on board the Mobile nail-boat Outside Of the
barber the two boats were to meet, and the whole
hilibnstcr party got on board Of the fashion,
%steaming direct Tor Nicaragua. The Alarshel
and the District Court made a faint show Of him
dering the embarkut.on Of the fllibusters. but
allowed them to get of. A steamer lying in
the river 20 watch them, it is very innocently
said, was 'outwitted." All these movements
seem to have been perfectly we'll understood. and
openly talked about at New Orleans. yet the
government officers wee amazingly Ignorant"
The character Of the pretended "~hunger" mobs
in New York city, is thus described by the New
York Daily Time:
"The men who attended them, aud join in their
PROFESSIONS, are neither hungry nor out Of any
work which they are willing to perform. Indeed,
we presume the leaders among them are paid
from three to fra dollars II day for getting up these
demonstrations by the cunning politicians who in
tend to profit by them. We walked among the
crowd in the Park on Saturday, and not one man
in ten Of them all seemed to be either hungry or
particularly hard up. Very many Of them we're
smoking cigars-the man carrying the hunger"
banner seemed to be in a very comfortable condi.
tion-the leaders AID speakers had on nice black
coats, their hands were soft and white, and the
only 5rork they seemed at all inclined to do was
that Of inducing the crowd to hurrah for Mr..
Wood and vote for Che candidate of the Democrat
ic party. The whole movement is q very shallow
piece Of political humbuggery."
NORTH AMERICAN TEMPERANCE CONVENTION AT
CHiCAGo.-A convention u temperance men met
at Chicago on Tuesday and adjourned on Thursday.
The principe business was the discussion of n
report presented by Rev. DR.. Peck. of New.York.
The report recommends the repeal Of all license
laws, and the absolute prohibition Of the manufac-
ture and sale Of Intoxicating liquors for such pur-
pose, and proposes n plan Of united action for all
temperance men and orgnnizations. This plan
of action says among other things:
w propose to form no political party, but TO
insist upon influencing the nomination of candi.
dates, and will do or utmost to induce, and if
needs he, to compel the nomination of sound tenn
perance men. We will combine every where on
candidates whom we believe to be sound on ali
questions bearing upon this reform"
The Chicago Tribune saws of the discussion on
the report:
almost every member Of the convention parti.
cipnted in the discussion. The speeches we've
many of them eloquent. some of them Indifferent
ly so, and a considerable number in exceedingly
poor taste, calculated to injure rather than aid the
cause which all good men have a; heart"
DELEGATE ELEcTIoN IN DAEoTAu.-A new terri
tory has sprung up in the northwest unbidden.-
we learn by the St, Paul Minnesolian that on the
18th of October, an election was held for delegate
to Congress, hy the settlers Of Dakota territory
and that Alpheus G. Full, formerly of ST. Paul,
was chosen to represent the territory at Washing
ton.
The MnnesofiaH regards Dakotah territory as a
myth no act Of Congress having organized such
territory, or given any section Of country such a
name and supposes Mr.. Fnller will not obtain 4
seat even by courtesy on the floor Of the House.
The receipts of wheat at Chicago of the week
ending the 10Th, were LOCO 600 bushels, all of
which has gone forward by lake. The breaks in
the N. Y. canals will, however, put an end to trans.
portation by that channel to the sea-board, and all
the grain now afoat will have to be taken forward
by railroad.
DIE Rather THAN Work AT REDUCED Prices is
the motto of the hunger men of Philadelphia.
Nothing like spunk.
PRospEcT OF a New TERRIToRY.-We find in
the St. Louis Republican some extracts from the
annual message of John Ross, principal chief
of the Cherokee Nation, to the National Council,
which possess some interest. He says that he
has visited the various districts of the territory.

grain crops, w~ell-flled public schools, large and
orderly public assemblages, and all the evidences
of rapid advancement in civilization. lie recon-
mends the sale Of the neutral land, owned by the
within the territory of Kansas, in order
to pay off the national debt and provide funds for
educational and governmental purposes.
Perhaps the most important part Of the message
is that which refers to the relations Of the Chero.
KEGS with the United States. 1t complains that
the encroachments Of the United States Courts are
in violation of treaties, and that the arrests Of the
made by United States marshals are
v%exatious and unjust. In this connection the
Chief alludes to the language used by Governor
Walker in his Kansas inaugural address concern,
ing the proposed organization Of n state in the In
dian territory south Of Kansas. In view of these
things the Chief recommends the National Council
to send n delegation to Washington to make final
and definite arrangements with the government.
The Chief is a person of large influence among
the Cherokees. and as the points Of his message
are well chosen, no doubt the action he recon-
