a WORD TO THE WIsE-The suggestions
thrown out last week by our CORRESPONDENT
"O6server," seems to have fallen in stony
places" and consequently have brought forth
no fruit. An ear may be turned to the voice of
wisdom when it is too late. A confiagration
may break out some of these nights that will
be terrible IN its results, carrying terror and
desolatlon in broad track through the town
lfthe wind Tuesday night week had been blow
ing iercely from the east, who can tell where
II would have stopped And if the fire at Mr..
Sulton's store had broken out in the night in
stead OF the morning, who can predict the con
sequences! fire company should mmedi.
ately be formed who will take charge of the
engines and have them on the ground speedily.
instead of all hands running TO the scene OF
confagratlon, as they do now, and waiting to
see at least one house burn down before the
engines are thought Of And then the leader
of the company could superintend the whole
ground, the bringing of water, &C., and thus
concentrate the efforts Of those who are dis
posed to work. |: seems to US that this is
matter which properly belongs to the property
holders. and if they will not take it into hand
for self-protection, why, then, they have no one
TO blame but themselves, in case of loss.

ALMOST FIgE.-On Tuesday morning last,
the large store.house situated on the corner of
Main and Commerce streets, in the centre of
the town, belonging TO Geo. w. Cummins, ESQ.,,
and occupied by Thos. L. Sutton, as a general
store. narrowly escaped being burned. About
AZ o'clock. one of the clerks heard strange,
eackling Q noise up stairs, which, upon investi-
cation. was found to proceed from the burning
Of a pile of empty goods boxes which had been
stored in the upper part of the building. A
few hunkets of water soon extiHguished the
flames. but not until some twenty or thirty OF
.ba hoxes were more or less burned. Had ii
mo, besn for the timely discovery Of the danger,
,hs ere must have proved very disastrous, as
,he building is large and full of valuable goods
and is also situated in the most denSely built
part of the town. -,
The origin Of the fire is, and probably will
ever remain, a mystery, as it is said no person
had been in that part of the building that morn
mo nor were there stored any goods in thai
nar,ion Of the house at all liable to spontaneous
combustion, and it is not likely th't 1t coulc
have boen burning all night.

The Washington correspondent of the New York

from Mexico, and submitted 70 the Government. No
indication is given Of their character though it is
intimsted that they may entirely change the pro-
gramne Of the Message on Mexican affairs, Mean
time, it is understood that Senior Msta, the Juarez
Minister, who recently left Washington has gone to
Vera Cruz to obtain full powers from JusreS to ne
gotiate treaty at Washington for the settlement Of
all American claims against Mexico, and to guaran-
tee the right Of way across Chihuahua, Sonora and
other Mexican territory, to California. It is beiev
ed to be the intention Of our Government, in ease
he succeeds in his mission, to receive him immedi>
ately, and to recognize the Juarez Government-un-
less, as limited above, some new and important
change in Mexican affairs should occur.
