THE LATE FIRE IN SALIsBuRY.--The Senti-

merchants and tradesmen burnt out, are making
arrangements TO resume business, and in a
short time business will again flow on in its ac-
cushioned channel. The location of the stores
will Of course be change, and this may prove a
source of trouble aud inconvenience to country
customers for awhile; but only until thcy be-
come accustomed to the change. And we learn
that SO soon as settlement is effected with
the Insurance Companies, and which we doubt
not will be promptly done, arrangements will
be made by many ofthe sufferers for rebuilding
on their premises.

TEMPERANCE MEETING IN SmyRNA.-A meet
ing of the Smyrna temperance Society was
held in the M. e. Church, Friday evening,
18th inst. The President, DR.. Cummins, was
in the chair. The meeting was opened with
prayer by Rev. ]. C. Thompson. Remarks
were made by Revs. Messrs. Quigley, Thomp-
son and O'Neil, by Drs. Cummins, Clawson,
and others, urging the necessity of more def.
mite action in the cause of temperance in our
community.
On motion of DR.. Clawson, the meeting pro-
proceeded to the discussion of the importance
and expediency of holding Mass Temperance
Meeting, the time and place to be determined
by special committee, by whom arrangements
are also to be made, and speakers engaged to
Adde'S the meeting. The motion was fully
sustained, and the commiltee-Drs. Cummins
and Clawson and Rev. Mr.. Thompson-ap-
pointed. The clergy ofthe town ere request
ed to bring the subject of temperance reform
before their respective charges, at such time
as may best suit them, prior TO the holding Of
the Mass Meeting.
The Secretary was requested to have the
proceedings of the meeting published in the
SMYRNA TIMES. The Society then adjourned
to meet at Wards Hall, the first Friday even.

Garibaldi's PROGRESS

Elf Gsribaldi has iatterly met With the sue
cess that crowned his efforts at the commence
meat Of The war of Italian Independence. he is
probably in Naples at the present time. Ac-
cording to The accounts published. a formidable
advance guard of Italian troops had landed in
Calabria, and were received with the greatest
enthusiasm by the people. Whole regiments
of Neapolitan troops are said to have deserted
from the Kings service. aud to have joined
Garibaldi's army. All accounts agree in sta
tiag that The General will be received with
open arms by the people; and it has come to
be a settled belief in mems minds that he has
only to appear ia the Neapolitan capital to in
sure aad complete the victory begun at Paler-
mo.
We can hardly expect that the question will
be settled without d hard struggle. The King
Of Naples has had ample time for preparation,
and has ayaied himself, il is to be presumed, Of
every means in his power to strengthen his po
sgiou. II would not appear, however, that be
has effected Ruch.--if a widespread disaffec'
lion in the royal army and navy be regarded al
enc Of the signs of The times. There is every
prospect that the battle between tyrant ant
people will be fought out without any interior
ence from abroad. France and England were
asked by the Neapolitan Government to pre-
vent. by force. the landing of Garibaldi on th'
mainland, and both Powers answered that thel
could not interfere. 1t is not likely that, an
der these circumstances, GaribaIdi will ALLOW
his enemy any further time fer preparation
especially as the General has himself prophesie
that be would be in Naples about the middle {
the present month.

The Prince. of Wales landed at Quebec on
Saturday afternoon, and was received With the
greatest enthusiasm, notwithstanding the day
was wet and disagreeabIe. The usual address
was presented on his landing; after which
procession was formed, which escorted him to
the Government House. The procession, ow.
ing probably to the state Of the weather, was
rather failure, but the illumination at night
was very fine. The Prince Sunday attended
Divine Service at the English Cathedral. The
programme has been prepared, and extends
over period of one month, from the I7lh inst
to the 18th proximo. and leaves him at lNiaga-
ra. His subsequent movements have not yet
been determined upon, but it is probable that
he will go thence TO Cincinnati and Pittsburgh,
taking the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad 10 Bal

The National Recorder

Is the name of weekly paper published at
Drummontown, Accomac CO., Eastern Shore of
Virginia, by A. s. Gootee & G.. r. Coard, the
first number of which has just come to hand.
1t presents good appearance, both typograph-
ical and subject matter, and ought TO receive
large patronage from those two Peninsular
counties. The senior of the firm is known to
many in this town, who, doubtless, join with us
10 wishing the enterprise success. This is the
district which Henry A. Wise hailed from I'M
til he was elected Governor, and which, in the
famous Burrows case, he thanked God had not
a single newspaper published in it. The world
moves-Mr. Wise has left the district, and
here we haveth first record of spirit to keep
up with the age, from this heretofore almost
unknown region. The editors, in thir saluta-
| tory, say:

cept those who have visited il, have the most

The Last from China.


We have some curious intelligence from
China, received by way of st. Petersburg
The source from whence it comes has been
generally found reliable, and it is to be pre-
sumed that it is equally trustworthy on the
present occasion, We always knew that the
rebels were formidable power in China, but
we wers scarcely prepared to hear that they
have almost accomplished the destruction Of
the Flowery Kingdom. Our Russian authority
states that the Empire is 10 most ruinous con-
dition through internal dissensions; that the
rebels have the Government virtually in theiI
own hands, and that they are within IA miles
of the Imperial city of Peking. If this be true
the French and English forces, now on thei
way to the Pei-ho, will find their work accom-
plished for them before their arrival. At AM
rate, there is every prospect of triangula
fight, in which the unfortunate Emperor is sur,
TO be worsted. 1.-The is the ssgacious monarch

The Murder in Sussex County.

The negro man. John H. Cannon. arrested
for the attempted rape and murder of Miss
Sarah Ann Griffith, spoken Of 10 our last issue,
has made confession, acknowledging himself
the perpe,rator of the deed, and is now lodged
in the county jail at Georgetown, there to re-
main until he is taken to the gallows. In ref
erence to the confession the Gazette says:
There is among many, and particularly ne
groes, notion that if murderer places his
hand upon the corpse of his victim blood will
start forth. Some one casually mentioned to
Cannon during the progress of the inquest that
he would have TO place his hand upon tho
corpse. This, as he was fully imbued with the
superstition, he refused to do, aud finally
begged the gentleman who had him in charge
to prevent them from making him 60 through
with the ceremony, and he would tell all about
it, as he said he "could never bear to have the
blood flying over him."
He then stated TO the jury that he had seen
the two girls pass along, and knew Miss Grf-
nth would have to go back along the by-road,
so he went down among the bushes and pre-
tended to be blackberrying. When the girl
came along he had provided himself with a
club about three feet long and an inch thick.
AS she passed him he struck her the blow
which made the cut upon the back of her head
and resulted in her death. AS she did not fall
he caught her by the armand throat and threw
her down, and was attempting to ravish her
when he found she was dead. He then became
frightened at what he had done, and dragged
her 10 the ditch, tied the string round her neck
threw her in, and made off.
ATTEMPTS TO LYNCH THE cULPRIT.
| As soon as the business of the inquest was
finished, Mr.. Baker prepared TO take the pris
cner to Georgetown, but the fact of his confes
sion having become known, the people assem-
bled were in no disposition to let him go, anC
began preparations for lynching him without
ceremony, and the officer was compelled to use
stratagem to get the fellow away.
AT st. Johnstown crowd of excited people
; were assembled, and another attempt wa
made to get the prisoner out of the officer
hands, but by running his horse he sueceede,
in getting away. r
He arrived in Georgetown about 8 o'clocl
on Tuesday, and the boy was immediatel
lodged mail During the night several excl
table people about the town talked strongly O
having him out and stringing him up.

participated, very unceremoniously, in pits

boarding the boat, the plank slipped from the

The suppo.ea sall.bury Incenalary Arresled.

The Supposed Salisbury Incendiary Arrested.
A Dutch Jew--the same in whose house the
fire originated-has, we learn, been arrested on
the charge of firing Salisbury. What led to
the suspicion was his exit from the town the
day alter the confagration, and the remarks
he made on the road that I" he was done with
Salisbury-that he had got his satisfaction out
of it." He had, il seems, insured his stock Of
clothing in three Insurance Offices-Philadei-
phia, New York and Baltimore-had made an
unsuccessful demand upon the first named
company, and was in Baltimore upon the same
business when arrested on Friday. He was
brough, back to Salisbury on Monday, and was
to have hearing the next day, the result of
which. however, has not reached US. He has
made several contradictory statements, we
learn, since bis apprehension. Among other
things, tending to strengthen the suspicion
against him, was the fact of bis sending away,
from time to time, previous to the fire, boxes oil
clothing, until be had a very small lot on hand
There is a strong feeling of indignation against
him. and if the proof is anything like cOuclu.
sive, il is feared that nothing will appease the
angry popuace but bis speedy execution.
A gentleman recently from that town repre-
sents the distress as very great-several fami
lies living in one house-many without the ne
cessaries of life--having lost all they had b,
the coAAagr ation-while number will not b,
able to rebuild at all.
