punishment for sins, Adam Empe, Esq, who occu-
pies an Office in building came up stairs and into
in hot haste to inform us that the house must
be OF fire; for that all down stairs was full of smoke
How we got down is not known to US, but we did gel
down pretty quick, sure emo gh, and found a dense
smoke boiling out Of the basement and out of Mr. En-
pies Office. A friend who was with US started to the
pump, and to the basement, where we supposed the
fire must be, and there we found tin q Store-whct
Mr. Heinsberger, Bookbinder, had started with light
wood. For some reason, perhaps because the stove
pipe had been crooking its elbow too much, the whole
volume Of black smoke from the fat lghtwood poured
out into the room, not half pint OF it going up thu
chimney.
For minute and half we thought it was all W
with the Journal Office and must confess that we d(
not derive all the consolation that we might have dom
from the reflection that it was about to end in blaz
of glory and be brilliant at the close than at an,
period of its previous existence We only though
about the blaze and wholly forgot the glory We still

How Is It:-Who does 1t:

friend who had, under peculiar circumstances, been
at the North, and had worked bis way home-in plain
terms Mr. Sprunt of this place, informed yesterday
that when in Baltimore, he of all the leading
Northern papers, and found in them long extracts from
the editorial columns of Southern papers, mentioning
among those he remembered particularly the Mem
phis Appeal, the New Orleans Pcayune, or Delta we
forget which, the Richmond Examiner and the Whining
ton Journal Perhaps Mr.. Sprunt noticed the Journal
particularly as being something from home. Now we
know that occasionally we get papers from the North,
but doing is casual, almost accidental, whereas
Mr. S. says that far he could judge, paper and
other Southern papers must have been received regular

We need hardly say that zee send none. Our whole
Northern exchange and subscription list was cut of
months ago. These things must be sent by somebody
here who is not trustworthy, at least appears
US. Who is he or she?
We hardly think, from what we could learn from Mr.
Sprunt, that Lincolnite brethren have much love
for u.s. and somehow it to that we could scarce
expect to receive any great extra avours at their
hands, should they arrive here conquerors If they
had any difficulty in finding our Office, 10 doubt the per
son, whoever that may be, who keeps them supplied
with papers, could pilot them to the place where the
papers are made.-DaiLy Journal, 10th inst
