The Baltimore Sun says:--"At the fire
yesterday afternoon. at the corner OF Eutaw
and Franklin streets, the neW steam fire engine
known as the alpha" had first opportu-
nifty to display her powers and prowess 10
sntagonism with the "devouring element;"
and to the delighto of sdmiring thousands she
achieved complete mastery Of the fire, and
in 90 incredibly short time after bearing
upon it, extipgushed it. The enormous me-
chanical force exerted by the stream of wa
ter she poured forth was exhibited with strik-
ing effect, brick and mortar, wood and iron
Welding an avenue to the impetuous torrent
with the least possible apparent resistance"

From WnshingtOn.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Mr. Slckles intends
to introduce in the House tomorrow, a bill
authorizing merchant vessels to arm, to pro-
tect themselves against search, visitation
or detention, and to make captures, to be
condemned as prizes; and authorizing the
President to employ the naval forces for the
sams purpose.
The Senate Committee of Finance propose
to amend the House Ocean mail bill, by au-
tborising the change of the terminus of the
Collins line from Liverpool to Southampton.
10 case of the failure Of trip by the Colius
line, the Postmaster General is to give the
Ocean and inland postage to the other par
ties carrying the mail.
The compensation for the House and Bre-
mon lines is to be limited to the ocean and
inland postage.
Warrants under the act of March, 1855,
are assignable.

E Fancy DANCE I'M TEHNEssEE.--Ac CORDS.
pondent, writing from Lockout Mountain,
Tenn, gives an interesting account Of the
many natural curiosities to be seen there,
and thus speaks Of one Of the fancy dances
that appear to be "all the go'' at Lockout
Mountain: ~ i af 45aF e'4 .. Z
The gentleman encireles the lady's waist
with his right arm. and takes her right hand
in his left. Her left arm; rests upon his right
arm, and her cheek upon his shoulder. This
you will say ia delightfal-wish pretty girl !;
but this is not all. The music strikes up, the
dance begins, and che gentleman, by extern
ding his left arm. brings the lady's face in
contact with his own, her cprls, II she has any,
winding around his neck This wonld4 be
called kissing nitswere not dancing.
The opinion of the hoosier who was asked
what be thought Of this kind Of dancing, is
expressive. He said be thought g the danc-
ing vern't much, but the hugging wasglori-
ous.' offer no criticisms upon the femi-
nine delicacy or propriety offhis mode of
dancing, It does not lie in ny mouth. to
condemn dancing ng-being Sc. guilty sinner
myself, in that, regard. If I werea a lady,
might object to these dances, but being
man I do not.-We certainly ought to be.
satisfied if they are. There is no established
standard of fpropriety about this matter, and ID
is left to individual taste end local custom.
In some places they are approved-in others
condemned-in all tolerated. ST
