FIRES.

About twelve o'clock on Monday night, the house
of Mr.. Joseph II. Boyd, No. 270 East Baltimore
street, was discovered to be on fire. The fire de-
partment were promptly on the ground, and after
much effort the flames were checked. On examina-
tion it was found that the fire was the work of an
incendiary- 1t was started in the basement with
shingles, directly under the stairway to which the
flames communicated, and from thence to the first
story of the house The stairway was DESTROYED
and the walls and ceilings much injured from smoke
and water. The damage will not exceed 81 900,
which is covered by policy in the Franklin Insur-
ance Company of Philadelphia. On Tuesday even
ing of last week. the roof of the house of Mr.. Bovd
was on fire, but was extinguished without much
damage being done. Two hours after it had been
put out it again on fire. and was checked before
it had gained much headway. Mr.. Boyd was at a
loss to know how the fires originated. At the time
they occurred there but little fire in anv of
the stoves, and it was improbable, under the cir
cumstances, that the roof could have taken fire
from the chimney. He suspected that negro
woman in his employ had kinded both the fires,
but has no evidence sufficient to warrant her ar
rest. Yesterday morning, however, he determined
to have her arrested and officer ROckhod took her
into custody. She is named Rachel Johnson slave,
and belongs to a gentleman living in Baltimore

A PRETTY LITTLE TALE.

The N. Y. Courier and Enquirer gives
the following mountaineering for its en-
tire accuracy: -
AT one of our hotels very recently, a
Southern gentleman-one of the largest
shareholders of the South-was quietly
vending his way to bed, when some hall
dozen of his acquaintances from the same
State demanded his presence while they
counselled upon the necessity Of taking i'm
mediate measures for organizing Southern
Confederacy upon the election of Lincoln.
He combatted their folly, and insisted that
Lincoln's election would be the most fortu-
nate event for the South that could possibly
occur, except always, the election of Seward
to the Presidency; because, 10 hisjudgment,
the success of any Republican didate
would, within six months after his inaugu.
ration, forever put an end to slavery agita-
ton. The rightssof the South, be einsisted,

scheming Democratic leaders privately en-.
couraged their interference with the South
in order to foster slavery excitement. He
insisted, therefore, that Lincoln's election
would be great national blessing, and Pc
culiarly beneficial to the South as the har.
binger Of the return of peace and harmony
in its relations with the North: and a, cal.

controversies, by getting rid of corrupt aud

South by deceiviug the people in regard to

The conversation waxed warm, and was
continued late into the night; when, finally,
one of the disunionists remarked-sLincola
