HEENAN AND THE CHAMPION BELT-HIs
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED BY MAcE-Jim Mace,
who recently whipped the staleybridge Infant,
has replied to Heenan's challenge and signi-
fes Lis readiness to fight. He is ready to make
a match for e200 to $500 per side, either be
fore or after his coming fight with King. The
matter, as far as the American Champion :"
is concerned, is in the hands of his friend Geo
Wilkes" and it is said by him that " he ex-
poets soon to be able to announce Heenau's
assent to the proposition of Mace, and the ar
raugement of the prellmiuaries." Heenan chal-
enged any man in England for e2,O0O, or
$4,000, but Mace does not seem willing to
accept so large stake, and accuses Heenan
of bouncing Heenan wants his expenses paid
if he fights in England or will pay Mace's, if
he comes to America Mace says: 1T is a
rule Of the English Ring that the Champion
Belt cannot be fought for out Of the United
Kingdom" The match is in a fair way of be-
ing made up. and it is believed by sporting
gentlemen that before the Winter is over,
Heenan aud Mace viii have fought for and
decided the ownership Of the Belt"

The CRY OF DAMAscusIx RUISs.-Damas-
Gus is now almost heap of ruins, charred and
blackened by fire. A recent visitor says he
saw not a soul, except here and there lazy
Arab driving bis donkey before him, laden
with the debris Of the fallen houses. That is
what the Turks call rebuilding the quarter
Throughout the length and breadth Of what
but a year ago was the handsomest part of
the city, not one single house is now standing.
Greek, Latin, Syrian churches and converts,
were mingled in one common destruction
There were still remaining many traces of the
former magnifcence of the houses. Broken
marble columns and bits of tasselated pave
nlent were scattered around in the court-yards,
and the walls in many places were richly inlaid
with mother of pearl and gold.

The KIND OF NErs.-" You can't do any
thing with them Southern fellows" the old
gentleman at the head of the table was saying.
q If they get whipped they'll retreat into them
Southern swamps and bayous, along with the
fishes and crockodiles. You haven't get the
fish nets made that will catch them."
Look here. old gentleman p screamed a
fiery little fellow at the foot of the table,
" We've got just the net for traitors, in the
bayous or anywhere !"
Hey? What nets
" Bayounets p And the little fellow point
ed his joke with a fork, spearing fsh-ball
sayagely.

PAtRIoTIsM OF MAsoNRY.-There are in
North Carolina many Masons who have not
forgotten the indissouble ties of the Fraterni-
ty and its solemn obligations 1 find, in some
instances, whole lodges, every member of
which is firm adherent to the Union.-N.
C. Cor ~ Y Tribune.
Gods bencdction on the venerable head of
Masonry! Glorious old Man of Faith, Hope
and Charity, whom fearful children and wi
dowed women have blest from hundred thous-
and different homes, live on, honored and loved
until there is not ray from the throne of the
Sun by which grateful humanity may write
thy eptaph. We have heard of thy grief when
the glory departed from Israel's Capital, of
thy sorrowful response when Rienzi lamented
among the dethroned splendors of the city of
the Caesars, of thy desolateness when the
tombs of the Nile shut up the last of Egypt's
splendor, and that flying the zones of despot-
ism, painting on the sultry desert, or lingering
in the furrow of the running plowshare whose
harsh grating declared that an empire had
been, thou hast barred thy thin white hair to
the stroke Of Heaven and answered q So mote
it be !'
We wish that what we would like to say
could reach the faithful brothers within the
sanctuary Of their lodges in North Carolina
We'd bid them read in the future the glorious
page which they are writing for the history of
Masonry that while Rebellion, with flaming
torch and naked sword, ran raving through
the land, few of the brethren of George
Washington laid the plumb-line to the reeling
pillars, and the restoring trowel to the crum-
bling arches then crossing their hands upon
the altar, they pledged enc another that until
the cataract Of the North had ceased its roar
ing, and until the Gulf Stream of the South
had lost its mysterious way, so long the Union
should not be broken. They are like the
faithful Children of the Sun flaming the sacred
fire while Pizaro despoils the temple May
the breath Of Deity revive the expiring fame
A Mason cannot be traitor to his country
without polluting his soul with the damning
sin of perjury.-S. F. Eyening Journal.

A son of Erin once accosted reverend
disciple Of Sweedenborg, thus;
Mr.. -, you say that we are all to follow
the same business in Heaven that we do in
this world"
Yes, that is in perfect accordance with
reason for the Creator himselfis is not idle, and
should bis creatures be?"
We'll, then, your honor, do people die
there ?"
Certainly not, they are as immortal as the
Creator himself"
"Then I should like to know, yer honor,
what they'll find for me to do, for am grave
digger in this world"
1t is hardly necessary to say that the rever-
end gentleman was completely nonplussed, aud
discharged Pat withot giving him the required
information.

JUsT CAUSE AND PRovoCATIoN-A certain
Gubcrnatorial fanctionary, who has waxed fat
from the profits of swiudIing clothing con-
tracts, recently favored Quakerdom with a
visit, stopping at one of the fashionable hotels.
For some unexplained and, perhaps, an unset>
tied reason, he concluded to change his lodg-
ings. He sent one of the walters of the hotel
where he had selected apartments after his
baggage.
Meeting the waiter an hour or two after
wards. he said
Well, John, did you bring my baggage
down."
No, sarr' blandly responded the sable
gentleman.
Wby-what was the reason ~
Case, sab, de gentleman in de Office said
you had not paid your bill"
Not paid my bill-why that's singular
he knew me very well when he was at the
Girard House"
"WeI, mebbe, rejoincd John, thoughtfully,
scratching bis head, dat's de reason why he
wouldn't glib me de baggage"
The gentleman, strange to say, paid the bill.

Z Oh yes, we give him up but who can measure
Inc greatness OF the sacrifice we make
Who knows the priceless value Of our treasure?
Who wait with US to feel their full hearts break 2?

From Pennsylyania's mountain side;
Whose brother had gone forth to be,
soldier where his flag should guide.
hear no blast of bugle sound,
see no uniformed array
Of soldiers, marching DER the ground,
To mingle in the dread afIray
Der all the landscape bright and clear
A silence reigns that nothing breaks,
Save the loud murmurng that I hear,
That whispering pine or streamlet makes
Though far from battles deadly strife,
Yet California feels and knows,
What lavish waste of human life,
Compel our country's felon foes.
Five times ten thousand loyal hands,
Have given ballots for the Cause:
As ready, each brave warrior stands,
With bullets to maintain the Laws
Our Golden State will freely give,
Her bravest sons Injured to toll;
Our country must forever livel
No traitors arm our land despo!
Our noble mothers gave the same.
They sorrowing sent forth sire and son;
Nor must the daughters dim the fame,
OF noblest deeds so bravely donel
Send forth your treasures, distant friends!
We know the sacrifice you make;
From every loyal heart ascends
Today, prayer for your dear sake.
And when the din of war shall cease,
May he return you love 50 well;
With honors crowned and blest with peace,
Long in the land he saves to dwell.

FIRE PRooF BUmDIEGs.-An article in the
London Review maintains that the late gigantic
fire at London bridge tested and found wanting
the present system of fireproof warehouses.
The conAagration made its meal of no mere
piles of wooden houses, but Of piles of buildings
in which science has exhausted her resources
in attempting to fortify them against him.
Party walls of immense thickness, stone STAIR
cases, iron beams and pillars, were Of no avail
against the spontaneous combustion Of little
heap Of hemp. Poor Braidwood who lost his
life at this great fire. always protested against
the use Of cast iron for warehouses pillars
made Of it became red hot, the water contracts
and snaps them, and away go the floors at
once. Then there is another danger outside
the girders supporting the flooring expand, no
walls can resist their lateral thrust, and down
they fall, to the destruction of those near at
hand. Braidwood's death was caused by such
an effect. 1t was proved at the inquest held
upon his body that the iron girdles heated to
white heat, as they were elongated nearly
half foot, pressing before them the solid wall
which proved his tomb.

OF THE
Weekly National Republican.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec, lSGI

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec, lSG0.
The undersigned have commenced the pub
lication, in this city, of a weekly newspaper,
called the National Republican.
1t is printed on a large sheet, 81 by AZ inch
es, and it is furnished at the low prices stated
below.
1t will contain all the original matter Of the
Daily National Republican, with the exception
of local news not interesting to country sub
scribers.
1t will give full reports of the proceedings of
Congress, and of the other departments of the
National Government.
1t will contain all the news of the day, for
eign and domestic, markets, &C., de-, as well
as an original correspondence from all parts o,
the country. The miscellaneous department
will receive special attention, and, in all res
poets, the effort will be made to establish the
character of the National Republican as a
FAMILY NEWSPAPER.
In politics, the paper will be Republican,
sustaining the incoming Administration of Mr.
Lincoln, but disclaiming, however, any preten-
sion to be the organ of the President elect
There is no other Republican paper in the
District of Columbia, or in the vicinity of it
and it is believed that recent events have open
ed to such paper an important sphere of use
full effort. The time has come, when the actua
administration of the Government upon Re
publican principles will explode the misrepre
sensations which have made those principles S,
distasteful to the South.
But it is not only here, and in this vicinity
that the projectors of the National Republical
hope to make it useful. To the whole countr,
they offer a journal which will discuss Nation
al politics from National standpoint, ant
which will never be swerved from patriot,
duty by any overpowering pressure of local in
