cavalry, numbering some sixty. volley killed
one of their Leutenants and emptied three other

FIkE YEsrERDAY.--A Ere broke out yester-
day afternoon, in the st. Louis House, on B
street, nearly opposite the Marysville Foun-
dry. The alarm was given at 20 minutes
past o'clock, and on looking out we dis
covered the flames bursting from the roof
We hurried to the SPOT, and found the upper
part of the house in flames. The Gremei had
arrived in advance of us, and ere juet get
ting to work. So energetic and well directed
were their efforts that the fire was confined
to the hotel where it originated, and a small
house adjoining it on the north, which was
used for lodging rooms. The fire caught in
the second story of the hotel, probably from
the chimney. The property was owned by
+. Stein0leyer who kept the hotel. His loss
was probably $4,000 to $4,000. 1t was in
surei to the amount Of $500. A onc-story
frame house adjoining, on the SOUTH caught
fire several times, and was pretty well cut to
pieces by the 6remen. II was owned by
Charles Houller. and occupied by Mrs. Nc
Nance. who saved her furniture. Houners
loss is small. Incidentally, we have to record
that the small boy who drove the express
wagon in which we rode TO the scene of con-
fagratson, in his haste to turn a corner, ran
against a brace of gentlemen, knocking one
Of them down, and causing us to perform an
!mpromptu Zouave movement; little boys
big dog engaged bigger dog, in front of the
foundry. causing the little boy to use as pro-
jectles ali the small castings lying around
before he could 'inaugurate peace" two of
the hose comdanies playfully played upon
each other for about five minutes, causing
both parties to become very wet somebody's
dog fell into the cistern from which the en-
gins had taken their suction, and the benevo-
lent individual who volunteered to 20 down
and attach a rope TO the dog, had to wait
a long time before the rope was used to haul
him out, which caused said beneyoleat indi-
yidual to swear quite ardently.

No OVERSIGHT. The Napa Reporter quotes
and credits to the Express, squb of ours
concerning J. M. Dudley's peaceablc propo-
sition to become Sheriff of Napa county,
The editor of ihe Reporter expresses aston
ishment at the sudden soundness of the Ex-
press, and thinks there must have been some
oversight in the premises. The oversight is
on the part Of the Reporter man. who rather
carelessly attributed our paragraph to a
Dixie sheet.

Is it not folly. then, for the Connessites to
claim to be Democrats. Are they not trying
to carry water upon both shoulders, and are
they not at heart pubicans?-ErpreSS.
Some people think Democrat may con-
tiaue to be National, without joining another
party. The McConnellite think a man must
go with some Secession State in order to be
real sound National Democrat. Has the
Democracy of the Nation or any so-called
wing Of it, in any National Convention, ever
declared war upon the Union? If so, we
never knew it. The rebel traitors are steal -
ing the livery of the Court of Heaven to serve
the devil in, when they call themselves De-
mocrats If Democracy means treason, we
would as soon be called horse-thief as a
Democrat.

JEFF DAVIS and Toombs were ready to ac-
cept that compromise, (Crittendens) but the
Republicans SAID, no, you shall have nothing
but the Chicago platform.-EfPreSs.
This is cool First, we are told that jeff
Davis and Toombs were ready to accept etc.
That is to say, those two WORTHLESS owned the
Southern people, and could make any ar
rangements they pleased. Secondly, we are
told that a refusal to amend the Constitution
of the United States was equivalent to ad-
herring TO the Chicago Platform. Is the Elk =
press quite sure that the Constitution is a
Black Republican affair, which Democrats

Tue SECESSION PARTY.-The Secession par
ty, in point of numbers, is scarcely worthy
of consideration. 1t is composed of a few
persons who may be considered mere polili-
cal brawlers. The suppostion that the Me-
Connell party is the Brechinrdge party OF
last year is a fatal error The Mcconnell
party is an organization of macontents of
dissatisfied and disappointed politicians, of
men who desire the destruction of the Gov
ernment, and none else There are thousands
of men of the rank and file of the Breckin-
ridge party last year, who abhor the hereses
of Secession and whose eyes are now fully
open to the past political crimes Of the Jeff
Davises and Yanceys of the Southern Con-
federacy. These men will support the Union
Democratic ticket on the day of election and
they comprehend the majority of the Brock
inridge party. The Secessionists are really
out of the contest In numbers they are in
so woful a minority that it is not worth
while to make an estimate of thcm.-!S. T..

The Pilgrimage OF Austin Il. Smith and
II. l. ThornfDu.

A few days ago we published, upon what
we then declared unquestionable authority a
statement TO the effect that Smith Thornt IN
and other Secessionsts who recently left the
state by Steamer, had stopped at Kingston.
from whence they expected to run the block
ade and land in some Southern port. Since
that time we have seen paragraph from The
New York Tribune, mentioning the arrival
of Smith at New York. The Trlbune's as
sertion was based, we presume, upon the
list Of passengers in which could be found,
Of course, all who left San Francisco
whether they continued TO New York or
not. The ST Louis correspondent of the
Alta California goes so far as to say that
Smith was arrested at New York on the Sd
inst, by the U. S. Marshall, and confined as
prisoner at Fort Lafayette, on Staten lsland
Yesterdays Express contained the following
paragraph, by which it will be aeen that that
journal can credit Greeley's Tribune when it
suits it's purpose TO do so;
Some designing person concoctej cock
left the usual conveyance to New J ork and
taken passage on II vessel to run the block
ade and land in some Southern Port The
story was not good enough at first, and was
afterwards improved upon. 1t turns out like
many other yarns that have been circulated
| within the last few month. The New York
Tribune, of August Sd, notices the arrival Of
Smith in that city on the ID, on board the
Northern Light
The announcement Of Austin +. Smiths
arrival in New York is untrue Therefore
he could not have been arrested. The facts
are simply these, and we are prepared TO
this State have heard from him by letter since
his departure The letter states that he
! Crhornton Austin E. Smith, and others whc
left here with them, took the British steamer
at Aspinwall, and proceeded to 81. Thomas
1--WE were in error, before, in saying Kingston
in the West India group, from which point
they intended toiproceed in sailing vessel TO
the coast Of Florida Thornton expressed
great confidence in being able to run the
paper blockade" as he termed it, Our in
formation is direct and positive. We prefer
not to mention the name Of the recipient of
Thornton's letter as it is n lady's, and would
be an unnecessary and unpleasant liberty.
The above statement has been made, by a
connection of the Thorntons, to us and to a
number of other persons in this city. The
Express cannot rebut the testimony with
anything from the New Y ork Tribune. IL.
l. Thornton, Austin +. Smith and others,
lately prominent leaders of the Mcconnell
party of this State, are certainly now in the
dominion of Cottondom, or else they are
trying to dodge into one of the Southern
ports, unseen by the blockading forces of the
United States Government. When will Nc
ConneA, Brooks, Fairfax, Higley Robinson
and the other Dixie candidate follow in the
