FIREs.-A stable and tobacco shop, on
Sycamore street, over the canal, were to-
tally consumed by fire last Sunday after
noon. We did not learn the owners name.
In the evening the steam FIRE engine was
called out for the purpose Of extinguishing
the fire, which had rekindIed.J
During Sunday evening, while Mr.. Chas.
Wells was at church, his son discovered
smoke in the house, which, upon examina-
ton, was found to proceed from burning
wood, which had been placed against the
dining room door, with the intention of fir
ing the building. The flames were subdued
without material damage: The ineendiary
has not been discovered.
Yesterday morning, the Walnut Street
House was on FIRE from a defective flue. 1t
was extinguished without the assistance of
the fire engines.

SENSIBLE ADvIeE.-While the Legislature
Of Kentucky seems to be hesitating and
trimming, it is gratifying to read the stir
ring appeals of the Louisville Journal, urg-
ing the members of that body TO their duty.
1t insists that the time for hmid action is
past. The war is forced upon them and
they should meet the responsibility like
men-like Kentuckians. In commenting
on the proposition before the Legislature, to
send committee to the rebel troops to urge
them 10 leave the State, the Journal uses
the following warm language; 49,
The only proper committee for the Legis-
lature to send to the rebel troops who have
invaded the soil of Kentucky is General
Anderson and every soldier he can raise in
the State, and summon from the neighbor-
ing States of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois,
The crisis has come-let there not be a mo-
menrs hesitation or delay. Strike at the
rebels both from abroad and at home with
the swiftness and force of a thunderbolt.-
Shall there be a lack of promptness and en-
ergy in Kentucky after so many examples
of the unscrupulousness and energy of the
rebels Shall they be allowed to piav a
successful game also in Kentucky? If the
Legislature shall fail to act with the neces-
sary promptness and vigor, the disappoint-
ment and indignation of the people viii
know no bounds. Let them without mo-
ment's unnecessary delay repeal the State
Guards-organize the Home Guards-and
invite and urge General Anderson to raise
fifty thousand troops in the State, and call
in the meantime all he may want from our
neighbors.

The blockade.

The following circular, addressed by the
Secretary of the Treasury, to the various
custom officers throughout the country, in
dictates to our mind that the dangers at
tending attempts to smuggle, are fully
commensurate with any profits likely to be
gained in its pursuit. Our people have new
er seen man tried and hung for treason.
They know what constitutes treason, and
the punishment prescribed for that offence,
but the Government has been so lenient,
and so many have committed the crime
without being punished, that some are apt
to conclude that the law for treason-like
that against profane swearing-is a dead
letter We will only suggest to such,
if any there be in this city, that we pub
lish the circular at the request of the
Surveyor, who, we doubt not, is determined
to have somebody punished, if they don't
quit violating the law.
