A CARD.

Icould not do justice to the feelings
which almost overpower me, did /
not, in some manner, return my thanks
to those noble friends whose perse-
vering exertions were so effectual in
rescuing most of my household effects
from the flames which devoured the
walls and roof of my hearthstone. and
whose kindness did not cease till a
house was provided for myself and
little ones, and all dependant on my
care.
You have done so much to soothe
and comfort in my severe atfliction,
that | cannot but express to you. in
this public manner, the gratitude of a
full and overlooking heart.
May none Of you ever experience a
similar trial, but if you should, may
You meet with friends as noble, as gen.
erons and sympathizing asI have, and
may learn from your timely, but un-
expected care and kindness, to more
than ever trust "the widow's God, the
Orphans Friend"

Fire.

About one or two o'clock, last Tnes-
day morning, we were awakened from
our slumbers by the ringing OF bells
and a cry of sire" when we hastily
dressed and repaired to the scene
!, moved to be the beautiful residence
Of Mrs. Sallie Carter which. was on
fire. Already the flames were in
nossession of enough to render fruit
less the attempts to save the building,
and consequently the saving of the
furniture was made the object, which
was accomplished, we believe, but not
without some damage. Many articles,
among which were several bedstcads,
had to be thrown from the upper sto-
~, the devouring flames rendering
time insufficient for them to be gotten
down by any other method. The citl-
zens generally worked, and faithfully
too, until there was nc longer neces-
sity for their labor. Indeed, qua 1t not
seem invfdious, we would mention the
names Of several whom VIC think are
entitled to additional praise and honor
for their untiring exertion and daring
assistance. and whose kindness thus
displayed, will long be remembered
by that woman who now has the sym
pathies of our entire community.
1t seems that the fire originated, as
near as we can find out, in this way /:
In the early part OF the evening be-
fore, a bag Of cotton had caught fire,
being extinguishcd, as was supposed,
was thrown out to dry upon the roof
Of little room that had lately been
attached to the main building. But
the cotton continued to burn and soon
fired the building.
Below will be found 4 card from
Mrs. Carter, which brcathes a spirit
Of thankfulncss truly commendable:

OREaoN.-The Constitutional Convention
in Oregon have completed their labors and
presented q curious organic act for the ap-
prevail or rejection Of their fellow citizens,
on which they were to have voted on Monday.
We have mentioned several of its peculiari-
ties. The question Of slavery is especially
to be passed upon, with some prospect that
It's introduction will be sanctioned by the
popular vote. The whole expenses of the
STATE are limited to seventeen thousand dol
lars per annum. No banks or corporations
are to be chartered by law. The State is
never to incur debt of more than SO, 600
These ridiculous restrictions are very anti
Democratic IN their spirit and evince dis
trust of the capacity of the people to take
care of themselves. These arbitrary restric-
tons upon the acts of the people are in the
worst spirit Of despotism.

~ A beautiful young lady recently al
ministered severe castigation to a gentle
man, in Broadway, New York. She sprang
from her carriage to the sidewalk on which
he was walking, and belabored him most
numerically with stout gutta percha whip,
which she drew from the folds of her dress.
He roared like 'all CREATION and made des-
perate effort to give her ''leg bail, !" but she
grasped him by his coat tail, and continued
to bostow her fayors with such effect, that in
few minutes the unhappy victim lay
sprawling on the sidewalk. Having satisfied
her vengeance. the pretty heroine stepped in
to her splendid carriage, and dashed mp
Broadway at break-neck speed. The poor
fellow vamosed in the opposite direction,
with q somewhat damaged physiognomy
amid the jeers and mernment Of an i'm
mense concourse Of delighted spectators.

Nearly alf our exchanges report quiet
money markets, the reason Of which we
presume is the absence Of demand. It
is the quiet Of despair with the great
body Of borrowers. The premium on
Eastern Exchange and gold is declih-
ing. At Louisville exchange is selling
by the banks at 2 per cent. and gold from
2 to 3. At Cincinnati the quotations.
are about the same. Coin is accumula-
ting and entering more into general cir
cuiation, and currency is approaching
more nearly to par with coin. 1t will be
seen by our telegraph dispatches that a
meeting Of bank officers has beeA held
in New York and preliminary steps for
a future resumption Of specie payments
have been taken. To-day or tomorrow
we shall receive intelligence from Eng
land by the steamer that carried out the
news of the general suspension by the
New York banks and those which fol-
lowed throughout the country. Our

fidence and resumption Of specie pay.

A NOTIFYING CRcUNsTANCE.-Dr. ISAAC
BARTON, highly respectable gentleman and
practising physician from Olney, Illinois.
came into the city last week, for the purpose
of going over the river into the interior of
Kentucky, where he formerly resided, to
attend to some private affairs. On reaching
here he found his money-which consisted
entirely of Illinois bank bills-would be I'M
current on the other side of the river. Not
having any acquaintance in the city, and
his business admitting of no delay, he pro-
posed to the stable keeper to pledge his horse
for loan Of fifty dollars till his return. This
simple act, appears TO have awakened sus-
picion that he had not very honest title to
the animal, and without any further investi-
CATION, certain parties took steps to have him
arrested as horse thief. The Doctor getting
wind of the movement, before the process
could be prepared left on the cars for home,
and returned with documents to prove his
character and position, and on Monday re-
claimed his horse. Horse thieves are very
numerous in these days, but every stranger
who has good horse is not to be suspected
of stealing him /; and parties who, without
good warrant, make the false accusations,
can be made to pay severe penalty. An
example or two might induce more caution
in making false charges against a stranger
upon the slightest cause of suspicion, and
teach them some useful lessons of courtesy
and hospitality.

A sTRIKE.

The Miners ct the Bodiam Mines in this
city, not content with rates of pay that ena-
bled any industrious snd skillful miner to
make his two dollars per day, taking ad
vantage ofthe large and Sudden demand for
coal which the approaching cold weather
has occasiohed, made strike for higher
wages. Rather than stop the works, the un-
warrafftable demand was acceded to but
the Superintendent deemed it duty to dis
charge those who had prompted the move
ment. This act caused another rebellion,
and they refused to 60 to work, till the men
discharged were taken back. This led to the
| final discharge Of all the miners. Many of
the miners themselves disapprove of the
whole movement, and are anxious to 60 to
work at the old prices, but they are intimi-
dated by threats OF violence from the others.
| One man who refused to unite in the acts OF
the others, was assailed, threatened, and for
chilly taken from his work and elected from
the mines
These combinations and strikes are import
ed notions, and are contrary to the spirit
of our people; and ought not to be tolerated
The miners allege that the cost of powdey
used in the mines is heavy expense upor
them, and that hey do not get as much a:
they can earn at other places. If that be thu
case, they should quit the mines peaceably
and leave the managers to get other work
men if they can. We refer to the advertise
ment of the superintendent of the mine
for laborers, and to that of the men offerin:
to 60 to work at the increased price.

H There is . general complaint that
Southern cotton planters are not meeting
their bills given for supplies to the West at
maturity. They refase to let their cotton be
sold at present quotations, and let their bills
90 back upon the drawers and subject them
to sacrifices and Inconvenience, and perhaps
drive them to suspension, rather than tc lose
their expected profits on theircotton. Messrs.
Oakley q Hawkins, one of the Oldest and
largest cotton factorage houses ia New Or
leans suspended several weeks ago, ard sub
seqhently resumed, Trey have since been
compelled to suspend second time, in con-
sequence of the refusal of the planters to al
low their cotton to be sold at present prices
to meet their obligations to their factors and
others.
The cotton factors have held meeting to
consider the expediency of suspension by
the whole class till buyers come into the
market, and planters consent to send for
ward their cotton. The meeting adjourned
without coming to any conclusion.

- Messrs. Belcher and Brothers, the
large sugar refners in st. Louis, have been
experimenting upon the syrup of the Chi
nese Sugar Cane, and pronounce it to be in
capable of producing sugar in any quanti-
ties, as it will not granulate. It must fail
therefore as resource for that great want
of the country, and the North mast still re-
main in dependence upon the tropics for this
essential article. The new cane will howev-
er be cultivated on small scale for molas-
ses for domestic use and for feed for stock,
and will contribute something to equslize
the demand and supply Of sugar.
