Fire on Saturday Night.

Between the hours Of seven and eight O'Clock
on Saturday evening, u two.stOry building on
owned by Mr.. John Knowles, was discovered to
be on Are. The first floor of the building was
occupied as a stable, and contained, at the time
of the FIRE, twenty horses, seven of which per-
ished in the flames. Five Of the horses were
owned by Mr.. James L. Dayton, and the re-
mainder belonged to suffers of various regi-
ments. Mr.. Dayton had recently laid in II large
lot of hay and other provender, all Of which
was destroyed. A number Of carriages and
sets of harness were also consumed, making
Mr.. Dayton's loss upwards Of $500. There
WAS no insurance on the building or its con-
tents. Mr.. Knowles loss is also heavy in the
loss of tools and unfinished work In the building
at the time of the fire. The fremen were
promptly on the ground, but owing to the
headway made by the fre prior to their arri-
val upon the ground, they we're unable to check
it's progress. The ire was evidently the work
of AN incendiary.

Vic Appointments to once.

It matters not what the appointing power
at Raleigh may do or omit to do there will be
found in the State those who will grumble and
complain. It is their nature to grumble-un-
less they get all themselves. We believe that
Governor Ellis and the Military Board are do
ing, under the circumstances, the very best
they can for the interests of the State.
Some who but short time ago were radical
Union men, are accusing Gov. Ellis OF giving
all the Offices to original secessionists, while
some few original secessi9nists are abusing
him for giving too much to the Union men,
Now it is false to assert that all the Offices
have been conferred upon the political friends
of Governor Ellis, and equally false to say
that the commissions have been monopolized
by the Union men. Appointments have been
conferred upon gentlemen in this section who
have never been democrats, and who, we sup
pose, never voted for Governor Ellis. They
were appointed we apprehend because they
were considered qualified, and in making the
appointments Gov. Ellis has shown that he is
willing to lose sight of the partizan for
the public good. But in many instances bad
unacceptable appointments are made where
the appointing power is not as much to blame
as others. 1t is impossible for the Governor
or the members of the Military Board to judge
of the qualifications of all who apply for place,
as many of them are entirely unknown to
them, and the appointments being made on
the recommendation of those who are know n.
Hence if members of the Convention or others
in prominent positions are instrumental in
procuring the appointment to Office of men in
competent for the place assigned, they and not
the appointing power are the parties to be GEN.
sured. There are large number of military
commissions to confer, and of course we have
not got enough men who have received mill
tary education to fill them; and hence it must
be expected that considerable difficulty would
be experienced in selecting the best men.
But what do these gentlemen want Are
they simply concerned about the efficiency of
the SERVICE or do they want something for
themselves? If they desire to serve the State
there is room enough in the ranks for them
let them enter.
We have been denied nothing for we have
asked for nothing, applicant for
anything; and we make these remarks simply
as matter of justice, believing that Governor
Ellis is doing the best he can and that he is
not deserving the censure being heaped upon
him in certain quarters.

Foreign Recognition.

The following is from the Charleston Cour-
ier:
Extract of a letter dated Liverpool, May, 10,
1861: 81 have to thank you for your note
of the 10th ult., which l read with great inter
est and congratulate you on the success so far
attending the Confederate States. I hope the
next steamer will advise that the North have
been out generated, and that the line of COM
munication between Annapolis and Washing
ton is again interrupted, and thus bring the
capital into your hands; if not Virginia will
suffer, and perhaps Richmond may fall into
the Northern grasp. The command of the sea,
Fort Monroe, and Washington, are grand ba-
ses of operations. On this side we want to
see peace, and peaceful separation. No one
looks for reunion as possible, therefore the
unanimous feeling is, let common sense only
prevail and there need be no more fighting
England has recognized you as Power, as
having authority to man war-vessels, and her
navy will respect them. This is the foreunner
of an unconditional recognition. Are you sat
isfed that my predictions were correct. l ex-
pect to see the course England has taken raise
storm of indignation at the North, but we
look to justice and right, and not revenge
urged on by fanaticism.
