While the schooner Rosewreath, of Bos-
ton, Capt. Daker, was lying at Richmond,
Va, about month since, in ballast, the
captain, who was sitting in the cabin,
found smoke issuing from the mates state
room. On opening the door, the mates coat
which was hanging there was found to be,
on fire, which, of course, was soon extin-
guished. There being nothing in the peck
setstof the coat to cause it, Capt.B was in
duced to try some experiments, and found
that bull's-eye side light, on which the
sun was shining strongly, was the cause.
The coat was in direct line with the rays,
and the bull's-eye had acted as power
burning glass. This Capt. B. provedby
SIS different experiments, each time ignit-
ing the article, when held within five or
six feet of the bulrs-eye. 1t is thought
that many of the fires in cotton oc-
curing for some time past, may have
arisen from the same cause.

FLORIDA planters, in large numbers, ac-
.companied by their slaves, are said to be
moving westward to the Mississippi Valley
and Texas, in search of more fertile lands.
The New Orleans Crescent thinks the loss
of population will rather benefit Florida
than detrimental, as the places of those
rich planters will be supplied by rich farm
ers and working men. The same remark
willapply to many other slave states.

PARTIES in this county may now be
said to be.in the condition called flying
around loose" Some portion of the peo-
pie follow Paul, some -Apollos, aud some
neither. Most everybody Is ideas are more
or less mixed up. Many old notions have
been wrenched from their moorings with
in the last year or two, and men are as
much inclined to proceed on the electic
system, as anything else, and choose from
this and that creed, just as it may gee
with their feelings, their fancies, or their
convictions The Opposition are divided,
and SO are the Democracy. Some are Old
.LineyWhigs, pure and simple; Others are
Bates Whigs-that is, half Wings and half
Republicans, as Bates Whiggery is inter-
,preted hereabonts. Some are whole Re.
publicans, and that means they are willing
to go Republican principles, whether
Bates, Bolts, Bell, Seward, Chase or Cam
eron be the Chicago nominee. The De-
mocracy are divided into those that follow
the Administration, (they are few,) and
: those who follow Douglas, (the Upio" pre-
fers Seward to Douglas,) and those who
have no particular love for either. Some
{ Of the Demo gacy go Wisewith his Gear

lions, and some go Breckenridge, because
heis Young America Democrat-that is,
goes in for war with England if she bites
her thumb at us, or with Spain, if she
refuses to sell Cuba. All there kinds and
sorts of political people we have at this
present time in this little county of ours.
And, altogether, they make up considerable
of q. mess. 4e5-.f5s,sx .sefTr9E
Ina mixed up condition of things like
this, it is not surprising that the Spring
election should promise to be sort of
scrub race between candidates who repre-
sent one or more of these political sub-di-
visions There is no doubt, for instance,
that most any body might feel himself cal
led upon to run for the Sheriffalty. He
could certainly expect to get some votes.
If every man in the county, including our
inevitable friend Gregg, should run, they
could all count on at least one vote apiece.

political opinions, or never more at ran
dom as to s'who's who" for their represen-t
stative man, than are the dubious voters of
this famous little Ohio county at this time.
In such a state of incertitude, we can see
only one course that promises anything
like a deliyerence from the bewilderingcn-l
tanglement And that is to have plenty
of candidates; to have them out in good
season; to let them lie in soak in the news
paper columns before the outward eyes of
the people for the next three months, to
the end that the people may daily read,
weigh and consider, and at last make up
their minds. In this way, and in this way
only, can the political wreck of opinion
now floating about in piece meal, be slowly
aggregated here and there around some
protruding breaker.
What say you, gentlemen candidates, to
this suggestion? The pool of Sloan is
about to be stirred. Who of you will be
the first to put his foot into it.

soME eastetn merchants seemed to have
made the same geographical mistake in
writfagtto We1lsburg, that others of them
did in writing to Wheeling, judging by
the following paragraph from the Wells
burg Herald:
EATING D1Rr.-some of the Eastern
merchants, DESTROYS to obtain South
ern patronage, busy themselves in send
ing letters to Southern towns soliciting
business on the plea of protesting South
ern principles. We understand that a
letter of this character lately came to this
place, the writer being doubtless geo.
graphically deceived into the belief that
Wellsburg was a "Southren" town.
Whether the argument used was adyan-
tageous to his interests with the party
addressed we do not know-but were we
the party, we would assuredly watch that
man.

The Richmond Whig, in copying the
proceedings of the Opposition meeting at
the Court House, observes:
The resolutions of the Opposition meet
ing in Wheeling, which we publish to-day,
strike us, in the main, after a cursory pc

and that large numbers of Democrats par
ticipated in, and endorsed the proceedings
We rejoice to find our Wheeling friends
meeting the crisis of the day with so much
firmness and wisdom.

were not 50 large MS some large things we
have seen. They were, mathematically
speaking, a very "appreciable quantity"
Quite so, indeed.

We have ever had an abiding confidence in
the ingenuity of Americans, but it has new
er been our fortune TO witness by them
anything equal to- the NEUROLOGICAL and
historical tableaux which were presented
last evening at Turner Hall. We present
below programme from which our readers
will CLEAN the;poor knowledge that various
scenes were presented, but to do justice to
them in forming an opinion, they should
have been seen in all their grandeur.
The historical past was before the
behoIder. There was the mighty Hannibal
crossing the Alps, the Spartans at Their
mopyle, and Washington and his noble
band crossing the Delaware. And there
too were the Amazons-no: in paper and
paint, bnt in living beings, waging battle
as fiercely as one imagines those "strong
minded women" of antiquity had fought.
There were the gods on high Olympus,
majestic and potent, and ''for this night

Bay Tbs New York Herald stated a few days
since WITH a great flourish of trufhpets, as one OF
the effects OF the withdrawal of The Southern trade
from the North, that Stewart & Co, of that city,
had discharged nm clerks. A true statement,
however, puts a different face on the matter, and
show that those dealers are suffering from a with

establishment. The TiJure of Saturday last
says: I'VE are informed that the persons dischar.
ged nre not from the Wholesale department, as the
Herald would imply, but from the retail depart

business OF this extensive establishment has fallen

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

LAWRENCE, MASS, Jan. 10.-One of the m ,s,
terrible catastrophies on record occurred in TIM,
city this afternoon. The Pemberton Mills fell
with o sudden crash at about 5 o'clock, while COO

ment OF the loss of life, but from the best authority
it is believed that two hundred are dead in the
ruins. Eighteen dead bodies have already been
taken out, together with some twenty-five persons
mortally wounded, besides some fifty in different
stages of mutilation.
Our reporter has just come from the ruins, and
states that the scenes there beggar all descrip-
ton. Some two or more acres OF ground are filled
up with every description of machinery of the
fallen building. Huge bonefres are burning to
light some two OF three thousand persons who are
working as if Tor their own lives to rescue the un.
fortunate persons many of whom are still crying
and begging to be released from their tortures.
Every lew minutes some poor wretch is dragged
from his prison, and it is heart rending to hear
their cries as they are drawn ont with legs and
arms crushed and torn. One man, shockingly
mangled, cut his own throat to end his agony
The whole city seems to be in mourning. Many
are running through the streets; while others, with
frantic cries, are searching the ruins. Temporary
hospitals have been arranged for those rescued.
Gangs of men, with ropes below, are constantly
dragging out huge pieces of the wreck which i'm
prisoned 30 many. Some of the rescuers were
killed in their humane efforts. Since we lof. the
scene OF the disaster. reports of more Of the dead
and dying are constantly Gaming to US. Surgeons
are coming in from all directions, and everything
that can be done at such a painful moment is be-
ing done for the fatal calamity, the mystery of
which will have to be cleared By an inquest. .J'.

CoL?RED MILITIA IN Bosroy
December ga bill passed by the legislature,
authorizing colored persons to join military or
CARNATIONS, has been vetoed by Governor Banks.
Governor Banks's veto message was on the ground
that be believed the chapter in the bill relating to
the militia, in which the word white" was strick.
en- out, to be unconstitutional In this opinion he
is sustained by the Supreme Court and by the
Attorney-General. The matter was discussed in
the House at some length, and the veto sustained
by a vote of l4G to 6. A new chapter was then
introduced on leave, and it being precisely the
same as the other, except that the word white
was restored, it passed tho House with but one
negative vote. Upon a suspension Of the rules,
the new bill was then sent to the Senate, where,
after debate, il was passed by q vote of Is to IL.
The Governor signed the new bill, and the legis.
lature adjourned sine die.

Boston Investigator, speaking of those qualities oil
John Brown which SO greatly distinguished him
from other men, says;
"Phe difficulty Of some men and women is not
that they have not philanthropy enough, but their

We could name some reformers, whose benevol-

terribly alarmed and skulks out of sight.
Men and women are not educated to be firm and
taught 10 stand alone. Bun1le them up in parties
and sects, and they can stard, but let them have
no. other support than their individual conscious
ness Of right, and a straw is as able to remain up
