FIRE AND NARROW EscAPE.-We learn
from a correspondent in Birmingham that
fire occurred, yesterday, in the house of Dr.
Cate OF that village. The woodwork and
furniture Of chamber, occupied only by a
young child, were in flames, and the smoke so
dense that it was not until second effort that
the doctor succeeded in finding his child safe,
although close to the flames, ard so nearly suf
located that few moments longer delay
would have been fatal It's escape is more mi
raculous from the fact that fluid lamp was
exploded by the heat, and its blazing contents
scattered about the room The fire was OK.
tinguished with slight injury to the house,
which is covered by insurauee,-B Boston Jour.

The RUMoRED RESIGNATION OF GENERAL
LANDER.-The following is the statement in
the Cincinnati Gazette relative to the resigna-
ton Of Gen. Lander, referred to in previous
dispatch -
CUMBERLAND, MD, Feb. 2, 1862.
1t is reported here that Gen. Lander has
asked to be relieved OF his command as general
OF this division, and that as soon as relieved he
will resign his commission.
1t should be understood that the late retro
grade policy in this division was in obedience
to express orders front Gen. Mcclellan. 1t is
very different from what Gen. Lander's ante.
cedents would nave led us to expect, and it is
known that he disliked being compelled to
adopt it, 1t is understood that Lander, at
three different times, asked permission to ad-
vance on the enemy, and that he had already
built fatbOats at Cumberland before being re"
intorced, that he might march east and hold
the Virginia shore, and enable Williams
brigade, now at Hancock, to cross the Potomac
and join him in an attack on Jackson's rear.
1t is even reported that Lander has been very
severely reprimanded by Mcclellan for press.
ing the plan to attack Jaekson's force.
1t is known from competent sources that
Lander feels himself aggrieved that the mill.
tary authorities in Washington, supervising
the telegraphs, should authorize the transmits.
sion of the statement that Lander had retreat.
ed on his own responsibility, and when Gen.
Mcclellan was on the point of sending him re.
Inducements. The truth is, Mcclellan never
informed Lander he was to be reinforced, and
YET had to telegraph him positive orders twice
10 lall back on the railway before Lander
ooeyed. Lander is still on the Virginia side
OF Tue fotomac, with no intention of crossing.
hVou' hai OF Jackson's force is reported still

wealth OF illustration which he lavished on his
interesting theme, will be remembered with
pleasure. II was his first appearance here,
aud we feel sure il will not be his last, if any
attention is paid to the wishes of those who
chose to go 10 Mechanics Hall last night
He found silver lining TO the black cloud OF
rebellion in the nations golden opportunity to

generations. He thought the wild beast had

discovered and the knitting needle of the rev
olution is again brought into requisition. Elk
travagdnce has become vulgar, and economy

is to lose everything for this world. And the
faces of uncounted millions crowding the Wis

ROBIN MUSIC.

Twas early morn, and / was dreaming
Pleasant dreams-just half asleep
When little white robed creature
Did across my pillow creep;
Kissed he first my lips and forehead,
With the sweetest fond earess,
Then q tiny thumb and finger
On my eyes he gently pressed;
Bending lower, then, to rouse me,
Open wide he pulled the lid,
sWake up, mamma; hear the birdies.''
That's what Charlie said and did.
And l woke to look and listen
Listen Just at break of day,
To bird that sang the sweetest,
Widest, clearest roundelsyi
Sang it, to, though chill and piercing
Blew the nerth wind all around,
And the snow, in feecY patches,
Dotted Ger the frozen ground.
Not speek Of blue above HIM,
Not ray Of warmth had he.
Perehel upon the leafess branches
Ola fallen maple tree.
"Ten me, mamma, what he's s;no;rc.
What does robin red-breast sayfs
But listened tin the sonester
Left his perch and flew away:
Then / told the white robed darling
Which above my pillsv bent,
"That's piece of music, Charlie,
Which the robins call Content
Though his notes he will not lend Won.
Still, if you'll attentive hear,
From the sweet musician, Charlie,
You can catch the song by ear.

Has no cap upon bis head
Nothing but his coat of feathers,
And his little waistcoat red,
