Our town is now in ashes--desolatio

PLYMOUTH, INDIANA, MARCH. 26. 1857.


On last Sunday morning, at about !
o'clock. the most destructive fire broke
out that has ever occurred IN this county.
or probably in Northern Indiana. The fire
was first discovered in the rear of the bull
ding occupied, and formerly owned by,
Robert Rusk. The alarm was given. and
conveyed to all parts of the town; the citi-
rushed to the scene of the confagration.
but the baildlngs, being composed of wood,
and very dry. there was no hope left of
saving the first block of buildings on the
east side of Michigan street. Dry Goods,
Groceries, Drugs, &C., were carried into
the street, in front of the buildings; there
being a strong wind from the southeast
the goods in the street caught flre' and
were almost entirely consumed. The in
tense heat occasioned by the burning of an
entire block of buildings, aided by the
wind and the goods burning In the street.
convened the fire to the west side, and the
entire block on that side was entirely de-
s,royed, with the exception of Mr.. Cor
b;n's residence. on the north part of the
block. which was only saved by the most
strenuous and persevering efforts
The origin Of the fire hiss been assigned
to various causes, but we have heard no
better or more reasonable solution of the
mystery than that it caught FIRE from some
Of the stoves or caimneys in the building.
The citizens generally, and the ladies es-
pecially. deserve. and will receive. the ev-
erlasting gratitude of the sufferers and
those who were il danger. We noticed
many ladies on the ground from time the
fire broke out until the flames had subsi-
ded; and also some few men (?) who re-
fused to render them assistance, when al
most exhausted.
The loss in property and business. has
been varioualy estimated at from $4,000
TO $4,000. The loss occasioned By the
suspension of business cannot be estima-
ted; but it is enormous, considering that at
least four:f of the business has been
DESTROYED. We have used our best exer
lions to arrive at the amount Of the loss
in property, and the following is the result:

Our CrY ADMINISTRATORS WooD AND thin
PLOTTING PoLrrCIANs.-It is reported that our
United States District Attorney and United
most alarming information to Washington oon-
corning their fears of q sort of red republican
revolution in this metropolis, and that there
has been, in consequence, q formidable muster
ing Of marines to protect our Custom House
and other government property here against
the possible contingencies Of mob law. 1t also
appears that the Cabinet have held solemn
council upon the revolutionary aspects of our
idle mems professions and meetings, and that
the administration is not altogether pleased
with the late official proc!amations of Mayor
Wood
But what is the truth concerning these work
ingmen's demonstrations! They have been
harmless in their conduct, and by no means
alarming in numbers. Nor have they been
the gatherings of Mayor Wood, but of the
scheming politicians who are ambitious of
share in the spoils and plumber OF our approach
ing charter election. Mr.. Wood is the only de-
mocratic candidate for Mayor. He he's, by his
frmness and energy of character in his Office,
acquired . popularity which renders his re-elec-
ton moral certainty. Hence the malignant
hostility Of his enemies drives them to the most
desperate devices for his defeat, and among these
enemies there are, no doubt few misguided
and few ambitious but disappointed demo-
cratic politicians
The spoils involved in the approaching
charter election amount to some seven or eight
millions year, so that to all our city spoilsmen
of all parties our city election is of infinitely
greater Importance than any State election.
But Mayor Wood has the inside track and we
fear that it is personal hostility this account,
less than dread of q bloody revolution,
that has had the most to do with
these foolish reports to Washington. AS
for any real danger of bread riot, there is none
ject of work popular demonstration which, if
required, the Mayor could not have dispersed
with hundred policemen.
We can assure the Cabinet that the public
property in this city may be safely entrusted to
the guardianship of our city authorities-that
all these outcries of revolutions are silly exag-
gerations and humbugging devices for political
effect, and that the peace of the city can be
maintained without difficulty. We believe, too,
that better times are coming-the banks are
charging their accommodations, and soon, from
present appearances, the fear of starving
thousands upon us through the winter will have
vanished. Let the Cabinet adjourn, and let
Gen. Scott hang up his sword.

THE FINANCIAL DISTRESS AT THE THEATRES
The througs Of people who nightly visit the
eleven theatres now open in this city seem happy
enough and no one would imagine, from the
receipts Of the places Of public amusement, that
there was any severe stringency in the money
market. During the past two weeks we have
published statements of the number of vsiters
at each theatre, with the sums received. From
these it appears that on Monday. the "a Of
November, fifteen thousand eight hundred
15,S00) people visited the theatres. paying five
thousand eight hundred dollars (s5, sO0). On
the evening of the 9th, the number of vsiters
rose to sixteen thousand 10000, paying six
thousand three hundred and sixty dollars
(S6360). From the last statement the German
theatres are omitted. They take, altogether,
about five hundred dollars (s500) per night.
If we leave the average, however, at six thou
sand dollars per highland that is quite within
bounds-we shall have weekly expenditure
for theatres in this city alone, of thirty thou
sand dollars, which Is doing very well for hard
times. At about the time of the bank suspen-
sion, last month, several Of the theatres were in
bad way, and even now they are not doing
quite 20 well as usual at this season,
which should be the best of the year. The
managers have generally reduced their ex-
penses, and are now playing to more than
paying houses The Opera season has COM
menced well; the management has stopped the
system of distributing tickets to BARRIERS, boot
blacks and other useful members Of society
who came to talk loudly in the Hobbies and get
In everybody's way; and the effect Of this and
several other reforms Is seen In great improve
ment, both in the number and character Of the
audience.
II is, likewise, a curious fact that while the
journals are filed with reports Of distress
among the working classes, the theatres and
saloons on the easterly side of the city--which
places of amusement are supported almost en-
tirely by mechanics quite full every night.
There is no doubt that great distress exists
among the poor, but the poor do not march
about the streets with banners and cries for
bread or death. The poor do not make speeches
in the Park or in Wall street. or brighten the
federal authorities into detailing marines 10
protect Uncle Samuel's cash on hand. The de-
monstratons in Tompkins square are as purely
theatrical as any stage play They arc made
by idle fellows, who grow fuddled over beer
and preach chartism or red republcanism by
the yard. The really poor shrink from the
light of day, and are only found by the bcnevo-
lent after strict search. These supernumeraries
of Tompkins square are getting up a little play
Of their own. Pretty soon they will rass

The MEETING AT ToMPKNs SQUARE.-The
reader will find elsewhere an account of this
amusing affair, which may perhaps close the
season of this class of performances. These
workmen's meetings are utter nonsense; they
do not intend to do any mischief, and could not,
if they did. The pretended organization and
assemblages are got up by small politicians
whom the late election has left out of employ
ment; they mean nothing and only deserve to
be laughed at. 1t was the most ridiculous
thing in the world to alarm the general govern
ment, and disturb the marines in their snug
quarters; nobody intended either them or the
property the least injury.
AS to supposing that the clamor and alarm
created by these meetings will help the opposi-
tion to elect Mayor Woods opponent for the
Mayoralty, this will be found to be mistake
The democracy, who are in great spirits in con-
sequence Of their great triumph in this State,
cannot afford to lose tho city; and with the
standing democratic majority here, with the
Custom House, Post Office, and Corporation,
they need not lose 1t unless they please. The
outcry and tricks of the opposition cannot even
endanger Mayor Woods reelection.

ROTTEN BANKs.-We have during the nat
year frequently called the attention of The
public TO the suspicious condition of several az
our banks Recent Developments have proved
the veracity Of our statements. First, we had
the Ohio Life and Trust Company, which broke
down while its stock was selling at par; thea
the Mechanics Banking Association, with
story about a defaulting teller, which was sooa
hushed up; third, within the past few days the
respectable part of the community has been
shocked with accounts of the defalcation of two
bank officers of the highest (presumed) integ-
rity, In the Grocers' Bank of this city and the
Bank of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia. In adj
dition to this, the accounts Of the olty
banks which have gone into liquidation
show that their officers have been very great
knaves, or very great fools In the case of the
Bowery Bank, it appears that the directors Dor
rowed pretty nearly all its available funds
and gave securities which may or may not turn
out to be worth something one of these dayx
The Island City Bank was doing first class
business with about five hundred dollars worth
Of assets, and 80 with several others
There were Developments similar to there n
the tough times Of l8S6-'37, and the banking
laws were made more stringent in consequence
of them. 1t would appear, however, that tho
bankers are more ingenious than the legisla-
tors, for the fnanciers manage to evade all tho
provisions of the law except that which obliges
them to give security for their circulation. As
for the stockholders and depositdrs they have
no protection With such examples rs those Of
the Bank of Pennsylvania the Grocers', and
the others, what confidence can any one have
in any of the bankss All these rotten
concerns stood as well month ago as the banks
which now have the public confidence They
were as sound, a. pure and as free from any sus-
picion as the best bank in Wall street is TODAY.
Their officers held high places in the communi-
ty-were bright and shining lights religiously,
politically, financially and socially. When one
had stolen as much as he could from the banks
he took an European trip for his health, and
the directors thanked him for his services. The
fact is, there is more rascality in banking insti-
buttons than is shut up in Sing Sing, and every
body concerned had better keep sharp look
out for their money
