CHURCH STEEPLEs BLOWN DowN.-At
about half past two o'clock this morning, the
gale blew down the tall Spire of the Chapel
street Congregational Church, which building
Is next East OF the railway station, aud oppo-
site the post Office. The destruction is very
severe. The steeple broke through the strong
timbers OF the roof and went down with
crushing effect upon the news in the gallery
and on the main floor. The beautiful fres-
coed ceiling is ali ruined-but fortunately the
organ and the pulpit were unframed. The
damage must amount to five thousand dollars,
and the church cannot be used again by the
congregation in many weeks. The tmbers
and braces OF the spire were not secured by
iron strapsas they should have been.
These tall spires in crowded streets, are ob-

board affair as this one appears to have been,

MENDELssoHN CoNoERT-We can hardly for.
give ourselves for emitting in a former notice, to
speak particularly of Mrs. ]. H. Long, who is to
appea: in the concert, this evening. To those Of
our readers who do not know her Boston reputa-
ton, we may remark, that it may be estimated
from the fact of her singing with the Thalberg
troupe, at the concert in the Music Hall, on the
18th, on which occasion the Boston Bee thus
speaks of her:
Mrs.J. Il Long never sang more acceptably,
and never had Boston audience a more fit n
moment to award the merits of a native vocalist.
Surrounded by artists of high and distinguished
rank, it must have been a trying moment for our
talented townswoman. but with tones clear
sweet, delicious, aud without the least shadow of
tremulousde:s, Mrs. Long overcame all obstacles,
soaring up into the realm of melody with a true
consciousness in her own powers and winning
from all present the most favorable expressions
OF delight. 1t was indeed a triumph of native
talent"
We understand that there is some probability
that either Schultze or Gung'l may also be pres
ent and take p lrt in the performances. Wheth-
er they are, or not, however, the concert will be
one of the most agreeabesand deserving that we
have had for many day. The programme is an
excellent one.

HONE ATTACK UPON Mr.. SUMNER.
is an inherent mi Justice aid meanness in the
following extract from the Washington cor
respondent of the Boston Bee, which is char
actenstie of the medium of its publicity.
Whether inspired at Washington or Boston,
it reflects. we suppose. the feelings OF mar
row circle OF more narrow political minds,
eager to supplant Mr.. Sumner by a creature
OF their own pattern:
"Much surprise is manifest at the tardiness
of Senator Sumner in making his appearance
here, and Massachusetts is suffering much as
a consequence. Senator Wilson labors very
hard at his post, but from his political affini-
lies and peculiar active temperament, cannot
get along alone in establishing and keeping
an influence that man of more calm ard
subdued manners could do. His restless dis
position will not permit a single political item
TO sleep, which touches his party or his State,
while the great commercial and mechanical
interests OF the country must suffer as a con-
sequence. Now, it is not possible that such
Senator could gain, unaided, the confidence
of the South, and any measures, however
just or patriotic, which he may bring forth,
would be criticised and opposed by the South
EN- hire eaters. Now, in view OF the present
state oil things, why should not Mr.. Sumner
come to Washington at once, and at least
dispel the imputation that he nerer intends to
resume his seat in the Senate. If he is una
Bile to do his duties there, let him resign, that
another can take his place who can attend to
the proper interests of the country. He has
been re elected by his State with a vote large
enough to convince him of the good feeling
of his constituents, and this should be satis-
factory. There are those who would fill his
place with honor. and be more useful in this
emergency than he can in his feeble state of
health. - Springfield Republican.
An editorial article, in similar strain to the
above appeared few days since in the New Bed
ford Merca1y, one of Governor GARDENERS special
organs all of which confirm our statement made
in the columns of this paper more than month
since, that there plan on foot,among Gard
ner's satellites to worry Mr.. Sumner into a resig-
nation for the short term, and bestow upon g His
Excellency" the honor of representing Massa-
chusetts in the Senate of the United States for
few weeks or days prior to the 4th Of March next.
We do not believe that this little scheme of the
dark lantern party has yet been abandoned, un-
reasonable and impracticable as it may appear at
the FIRST glance.

The discussion in the Senate, in executive ses-

moval Of the Infamous Lecompte and Donald,
son, and the substitution in III ii places Of Harri-
son and Spencer, as reported by the Washington
correspondent of the New York Tribune, ia

political sea- on the advent of MIR. Buchanan to
power We see in it the two opposite elements
which entered into the canvass in his favor, in
fierce contention. Cass and Toomrs two leading
applicants for positions in the new Cabinet, are
sadly at logQerheads as to the policy to be pnr
sued in Kanzas. The Toombs wing Of the Blu
chanan party are determined that the old border
rufRan regime shall be adhered to, with Le-
compte, Donaldson, and the whole ultra pro-
slavery gang of officials, be retained, including,
perhaps, even the reinstation of Shannon him.

There is no doubt that both Pierce and Blu.

that wing of the party which always controls its

at Cincinnati. and in the election of Buchan-

TO any such change Of policy.
The southern slavery pIopagandists went in for
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise in orderto
make Kanzas slave State, and they went for
Buchanan, believing him pledged the strongest

MATTERS AND THINGS IN KANzAs.-Le comp-
ton, X. T., via Sc. Louis, Jan. 20 Especial
Despatch to the New York Tribune. The
Territorial Legislature is in session, but has
done nothing important.
Gov. Geary's message recommends the re-
peal OF several bogus laws, but is supposed to
favor the pro-slavery party. He fully sustains
the bogus Legislature. and recommends them
to take steps for the formation of State Con-
stitution. He sustains the Nebraska bill.
There is full attendance of both Houses,
and they are as pro-slavery as ever.
The Convention is still in session, but most
of the business is done in secret
Preparations are making to carry the con :.
stltutional elections.
1t is determined not to quarrel with Geary,
if he can be got to continue in position not
fatal to the slave party.
None but true pro-slavery men are allowed
to sit as delegates in the Convention.
Gov. Geary has no influence over the Con q.
vention, and he has little or none over the
Legislature.

them began to cough, and refused to eat, and on
Wednesday morning they died. After that,
two left.
bought the pigs to winter, and never saw a
better looking lot of pigs than they were, when
arrived home with them. think the pigs were
well when Started from the West, but took the
disease in the cars or yards.

There have been lost in Sterling towards one

the disease left in oar yards.
