Valuable Mil Burned.

BooNvILLE, IND, April 4th, 1850.
EDToRs JoURYAL:-The new Steam Flour
ing Mill, just completed few months ago
in this place, by Messrs. Hudspeth, was dis
covered to be on fire Tuesday morning, 3D.
inst, little while after midnight, and in
a brief space of time the whole building
was wrapped in flames. The fire was clear
ly the work of an incendiary, as the mill had
not been run since the Saturday previous
The mill-hands, and the Messrs Hudspeth
themselves, were at work in and about tile
mill till late hour on Monday evening
None of them had used or seen any signs
of fire about the premises that day The
fuel used by the mill was coal, mainly.
The fire first broke out in the second
story, clear away from the furnaces.
The mill had no insurance on it, and cost
near sixteen thousand dollars. The stock
of wheat and flour in the mill was estimat-
ed to be worth four thousand more. Tile
books were also burned, which were suppos-
ed 10 be worth fifteen hundred. So the en-
tire loss is a little over twenty-one thous-
and dollars.
Our town and county sympathize deeply
with Me$srs. uudspeth, and are aiding them
with means to rebuild Immediately. The
mill just burned was one of the best in
Southern Indiana, and had all the modern
Improvements and fixtures necessary to
make a complete mill. RALsTON

The ChnrIestom Convention.

A portion OF the press OF the country IS
greatly exercise ut the high rates Of board
to be charged at Charleston, during the sit
ting of the National Convention. Five dol
lars day, they say, is awful to think Of
it is q an outrage" " a swindle," and not in
accordance with "Southern hospitality
This charge of five dollars day is " mon
strous," when coming from Southern city !;
but there was no complaint when Cincin-
natl, in 1856, charged delegates from three
dollars TO twenty dollars a day for board
Southern gentlemen paid their money free
ly, in the city of Cincinnati, in 1856, with
out a murmur. Northern Yankees, how
ever, have a keen sense of the power of
the almighty dollar, and they hate a South
ern climate at any price. Well, let the free
soiers stay at home, if they do not like
Charleston and five dollars a dav. The
Southern delegates can do very well with
out them. Precious little these Yankees
will do towards the election of a Democratic
President, anyhow. They want Douglas
nominated with q Squatter Sovereignty
platform at two dollars day, and South
ern hospitality; and then they look to the
South to elect him. We beg to be excused,
gentlemen. We do not choose to invite you
to such feast. This is our funeral. If you
come to Charleston, we will treat you re-
spectfully-yes, we will treat you hospita-
bly,; but we intend to charge you .fUe dol
lars a dag, and you must pay in adUance, and
we want none of your Squatter Sovereignty
platforms, or heretical candidates for Presi-
dent. We will feed you well while you
stay and behave yourselves, and teach you
some sound Southern Rights doctrines,
which you never had taught you at home
We regret to see that some of our South
ern contemporaries are grumbling in con-
sequence of this advance in the rates of
board of the Charleston hotel keepers We
see that several of our Georgia friends arc
advocating the move of going to Charleston
from Savannah, in a steamer, 10 board and
lodge on the same during the sitting of the
Convention. We hope, for the sake of the
pride and dignity of Georgia, that no Geor-
gia delegate to the Charleston Convention
will compromise his patriotism for a few
dollars, more or less. Let the Georgia dele
cation have the very best quarters in the
city, and the best fare the market affords,
and they will then exercise controlling in
huence in the Convention. Such a position
is far more becoming delegation of South
ern gentlemen, from the Empire State of
the South, than to act the part of achdTf
rats, eating a crust of bread on an old di-
lapidated steamboat, merely for the sake OF
saving few dollars and cents.-AHanta

THE INDIANA MARsHALsHIp-A special
dispatch to the Philadelphia Press of Friday
says:
There has been sharp fight going on be-
tween Senator Fitch end the Hon. Mr.. En-
glish, of English bill notoriety, for the Uni
ted States Marshalship of Indiana, made
vacant by the death of John L. Robinson.
MIR. English is a candidate for the United
States Senate, in the placeof Mr.. Fitch. and
presented his father for the Office. Fitch
opposed the appointment on the ground that
English would use the patronage and inhu-
ence of the office to elect his son, and asked
the appointment of one of his own friends
After terrible contest, the President to day
sent in the name of English to the Senate.
Fitch viii try TO defeat his confirmation.
BY the appointment, the President is un-
derstood to declare his wish that English
shall succeed Fitch. 1t remains to be seen
which side the Democratic Senators will
take in the controversy.

NaFIt is said the South will demand the
fall recognition of her rights by the Charles
ton Convention, in resolutions similar to
those adopted by the Democratic caucus at
Washington. That will itself rule ont Doug
las. Certainly that's the way. Let the
Convention adopt such resolutions, and
Douglas will rule himself out and about
the first of November the people will rule
the nominee of the Convention out. There
will only be seven months difference be-
tween them.-LOu. Dem.
The Democrat is too spunky to hold out
long. If A. G.. Brown should benominat-
ed at Charleston on slave code platform,
We expect to see the Democrat hoist the
ticket and go it with vim. IF it doesn't,
we shall have some hope of the Douglas De-
mocracy.
