New COMMERCIAL. LANauAGG.-rhe Richmond
Examiner, commenting on q late article in De-
Bows Review, says:
We are pleased o.learn that Congress has already
recognized the feasibility and merit Of adopting a
new and Independent commercial language for the
South, and that resolution on the subject has
been introduced into that body by Mr. Tyler, ana
appropriately referred to committee.
The writer in DeBow's review suggests that We
might adjust the standard of our weights and
measures from natural objects such as the seed of
tobacco, or Gotten, or even the fibre of the Sea
Island cotton. Once having decided upon unis

Look OUT FOR 1NoEsDLARIEs.--We are informed
on the very best authority that an attempt was
made yesterday, at about II O'Clock, TO set fire to
the residence of the Rev Mr. Pierce, Rector of St.
Johns Church. Our informant states that the viii
lains made anentralee in some manner into the
second story, and set fire to the building in of
soon to attract attentions. The fire was mme-
diately extinguished without much damage being
done. It is said to be unquestonably the work OF
design, for there had not been any person con-
nected with the household in that room for some
hours previous, and that there was not even q
match kept there. r.lrl.r
man, a stranger, had been seen lurking about
the premises lately, which excited the curiosity of
both Mr.. and Mrs Pierce as being of a suspicious
character but they have no direct evidence to
suspect any person.
We would advise all families to be watchruI both
day and night on their premises, and probably
some of these merciless scouhdrels may be caught
in the act; f1so, every good citizen will know
what law to try them hy.-[Mobile Tribune, 10Th.
