From the Camden Eagle Extra, Sept. t FIRE! FIREI

by the Kindness of our friend of the Her. ald'' we are permitted to issue an extra. Our paper was ready for issue and would have an- peared thls morning. but for the sad catastro- phe which has visited our city, The fire com- menced Tn an unoccuped building, next door to our office, and was doubtless the work of an ancendsary. A short time before day-Gght the alarm was given, but all the exertions of our energetic citizens were unavailing, and the whole row of buildings from the corner occu- pled by Toney & Stone to the office belonging to the estate of the late and lamented Stth yielded to the consuming element. The loss sustained IS Immense for town of this size oome were partially protected by insurance put others were wholly their own security- we were not able to rescue our books even and the Eagles flight is now out of sight, j, but Tn the course of one month we will agan meet our readers as joyous as ever. Misfor tunes should be laughed at-tears never cured wound or drowned sorrow. The suffarno by this calamity will some day be forgotten and we have the consolation, mean as it is. that we are not alone
 The house of Toney & Stone saved but lit tie; new building being erected by that firm was destroyed; the house where the fire orio mated and belonging to E. N Woodland, was consumed. Our office and everything in it. the goods of Wlmoth & Jordan immediateIv under Us, were all lost; the saloon of Griffin & Green, was swept, but part of their effects were saved, though small; the drug store of B. P. Jett & Co. the house and goods of Block Sz feIbleman, Y the mercantile establishment of Hodnett, Green & Kellum all went by the board.
 The carriage factory of NJ. J. Wilson & O.. 'ell victim to the irresistible flames, as did the house of Mir. Thomas, the office of Rainev Daly, and Green & Bullock.
 The fire did not fortunately extend to the south side of Washington street, or more than half the town would have been in ashes.
 The scoundrel who perpetrated the foul act deserves to be broiled on the coals which bis malignant m, hand has left smoking on our streets The court house is no more
 An old adase teaches us that "its an i'll wind that blows nobody good" and our citizens may hereafter erect buildings of less inAammable materials.
 Almost all the houses burned were as finder ana We mght as well, as far as any effort to arrest the progress of the flames was concern ed, have folded our arms and sung sonys of pralse to the fiery enemy
 we would, m conclusion, say to our readers mat Ill very short time we will have inc Eagle on her pinions again, and hope by re- newed exertlons to make it acceptabIe to tho citizens of Arkansas

Dled-Of consumption in Louisville. Ky on the 7th inst, JUNIUs w. CRAIG aged 22 years and six months.
 At the residence of his son, in Little Rock suddenly, on the 24th inst ROBERT M'CoN. AUGHEY, in the 76th year of his age.
 He had been indisposed few days, and died from sudden attack of paralysis He was on a visit to hls son, our esteemed and talented townsman, J. W. M'Conaughey, and had been with us only few months; but in that short time had endeared himself to those who made his acquaintance by the frankness of his man. ners, cheerfulness of disposition, and upright ness of conduct and demeanor
 Although he had passed his three score years and ten, yet his mind was unimpared, and his energies unwasted. Of him it could be said truly "an honest mans the noblest work of God." It was depicted in his face and shown in his actions. He had lived to see his children esteemed and honored; and closed a long and useful life, loved by them and regretted by all. With the conviction of reaping in a better world the reward of good, just and Christian actions and conduct he peacefully yielded up his spirit to the God who gave it. Peace be to his ashes.

oI their leaders and the cause of their nativ. iand; and his recollection of British faith and respect for treaty stpulations will warn him not to trust too much in appearances of fair ness and candor, and his chiefs will moi omit .o refresh his memory on the subject of British treachery, appealing, at the same time, to the religious fanaticism of his race, which, in real lty, Is the moral basis of the contest and which no manlfaStos can ever reach. Lord Canning's proclamation will, in all probability, prove as decided failure as Sir Colin Campbell's grand campaign.
 The situation of the British army was ex. tremely critical, and they were not only ex- posed to the most dangerous season of the h. aian year, but they had just suffered a very con- siderable dlmlnution of their forces by the with drawal of one of their native allies. with his entire contingent, when the proclamation was issued.

 WINNING AN ELEPHANT IN R,rv,r our very enterprsing little tub-of.war tb.
 Do'phlb'" has taken prize That nriza is neither more nor less than the brio Fchn an American shaver, bound from the coast of .s ' rlca to Cuba. She was brought in. nios and all to Charleston and left there. The yerv vig;' lant officers and crew of the tub-ofwar Dol. phln, who by the way did not meddle with tba "Styx," when she was daily outraeino tb. American flag, have duly earned their prize money and the applause of all good abolition lsts, and the question now arises, what shall we do with the nigs? The President is di rected by law to send them back to Africa but the nl gs say they will not go, and it is quite ooVlous that Ii they are sent back by force. they VIII agaln fall victims to some other slave traders African or European, or be slaugh- tered unreslstinsly by some hostile tribe What snail be done with the nigs?
 hen arses another little question: These interesting black men or animals, whichever they may be considered are in the jurisdiction ot the State of South Carolina Suppose that otate should choose to assert her jurisdiction over them. What will our respected Uncle Sam do then?
 Ihen aSaln arises another. How much mo- ney do we, of the southern States, intend to allow our venerable Uncle to spend to the bigh glory of the abolitionists and the great re- proach of all shareholders? How many ap- pfopratlons are we going to vote for. and to what amount, to gratfy other enterprsing off cers of other tubs-o of-war who hob-nob with our British friends of the "Styx" and other armed missionaries of civilization, and help them to catch those awful pirates who deal in human flesh?

England and Slaverv

,' 1he hn the past SIX months an apparent ii has been going on in the public mind in
 nd, in regard to negro slavery. The de- and h. lions of the southern States, once so i9 p. have almost entirely ceased, while sutoa journals favor the acquisition of Cuba e ~ knowing that it can only be admitted as in t, State, and go so far as toapprove of the sefopsL ion of Mexico by the United States
 reasons are prominent for this apparent nes. e First, the discussion of the question
 Iogrinced many that free negro is in the aors 4 condition of slavery; that it is only in andl lsinae capacity that he is able to enjoy osa llf. Servitude is the normal (to use a hg al luabe term,) status of the African is in lg inN my with his nature and one in which his !. s K for happiness is most fully developed. tl begin to find that though the negro is a forI that he is of different race, that his or lfq sion is an inferior one, and that he is not ,pe las not created to be the equal of the 1 man. Second, the English people have \ nded to become shareholder True, they ia millions of white slaves, slaves in eyerv- dd but the name millions of India slaves v in state of rebellion but they have gone .s Ter. They now have black slaves-Afr- i. sayes--cotton- picking slaves. The Man.

Nc HOtlce with pleasure that the name of Hon. Jilson P. Johnson, of Desha county. Ar kansas, Is prominently mentioned in connection with the speakershp of the next House of Re- presentatives in that State. The State- Ri ghts Democrat (Helena,) does not over-estimate his merits in the following remarks: 'In late issue of this paper, an influential democrat suggested Hon. J. P. Johnson, of Desha, for speaker of our next Arkansas House of Representatives. With no view to dictate to the Representatives of the people, and without design to inerfere against gentlemen who may hereafter be proposed, we feel at liberty to assure all persons interested, that no better choice could be made We know the man, his qualifications and his antecedents Personally, he has that combination of qualities fitting him for the position-frmness without obstinacy, promptness without arrogance, sua- vity of manner without hypocrisy, extensive in formation without pedantry, and an honesty as incorruptble as that of an old Roman. Politi- cally also, he is urexceptionable-bein state- rights democrat and always consistent un- tilnching and working member of our party That he has just borne our standard to glorious victory, through contest waged against the banded know nothings and democratic rene- gades of his county, gives yet moro lustre to his well-founded aspirations and justifes his friends in urging his election"
