Severe Fire in Pittsburg.

The great Pittsburg Plow Works of
John C. Bidwell were much damaged by
fire the morning of the 9th. The main
building, fronting on the Allegheny river,
and five stories high, was destroyed, TO-
gether with 5000 plows, 3s gun carriages.
stock, machinery, etc. Mr.. B. estimates
his entire loss at $4,000, upon which
there is an insurance of $4,000.
A spark from the fire fell into a fiat
boat containing several hundred barrels of
rock oil in bulk, without cover or protec-
tion of any kind, and terrific confagra-
tion ensued. The Gazette says:
The oil was moored but few rods
above the Hand Street Bridge, and as the
flames leaped and roared in the air it was
feared that the bridge could not escape
Adjoining this fiat was another, loaded
with oil in barrels, which also caught fire.
The greatest excitement prevailed, and
when the latter boat broke her mooring
and escaped, all hope of saving the bridge
was abandoned. The fremen lined the
bridge, mounted the roof, and kept inces-
SAINT streams of water pouring over it, but
the chances looked hazardous indeed
Slowly the volcanic mass descended, and
as it neared the bridge its progress was ar
rested by an old stump projecting from the
first pier, which caused it to stand a. mo-
ment and then swing round under the
bridge. This was critical moment, and
as the burning mass emerged, leaving the
bridge uninjured, the air was rent with the
shouts and cheers of the assembled spec
tators. 1t is thought that the dense vol
umes of smoke which smothered the flames
at that moment, saved the bridge.
The other fiat was burnt to the waters
edge: all the oil having been licked out of
it by the flames. The oil belonged to
Messrs. Robert Ashworth & Co., of Ale
gheny, and was valued at $3.50. Of course
there was no insurance upon it.

The Peculiar Institution.

An intelligent citiyen Of Kansas, South
ern born and bred, recently remarked to US
that soldiers in Kentucky would be good
school for our Ohio boys touching the Pc
culiar institution, and that they would not
be likely 10 fall in love with it, SO great
would they find the contrast in the condi-
tion of the free and slave States. we al
ready find the remark verified IN letter
from an officer in the Sherman Brigade,
published in the Mansfield Herald. 1t is
dated aCamp at Halls Gap, Wickliffe Co.
Ky, Jan. 2stb," and Mr.. Myers, of the
Herald, who is the writer, says.
tell you do not like TO discuss po-
Iitical questions since have got into the
army, but must say that since have
been among the peculiar institutions of the
South, where it exists in the mildest form
since I have seen the direst effect of the
cursed rebellion raised by IFS supporters
and have witnessed its blightiDg effect up
on the country and the people, have not
changed my opinions previously formed,
but rather become more confirmed in
them. Kentucky, everywhere l have yet
been in it, is at least fifty years behind
Ohio in every respect. This can be attrib-
utable TO no other reason than slavery.
AS was passing along the road the
other day, l stopped at very genteel
looking, large farm house by the way, and
went in supposing TO find the inmates cor
responding with the exterior. But such
house. The interior looked as if set of
sayages were living in it. No plastering
on the walls or ceilings, rough floors, dirty
halls, naked children and "niggers," SLOW
emily dirty faced women, swearing "tobac-
co chawiDg" men, all combined, gave me a
very different idea of "Kentucky gentle
men" / expected 10 find within its walls
In the principal room were three or four
beds with nothing but ''straw ticks" and a
couple of quilts upon them, reeking with
dirt and filth. In this same room was the
inevitable old fashioned fire place-a thing
obsolete in Ohio-with its cord or two of
wood piled on. The staircase to the Sec
ond story was rickety concern,-the old
fashioned ladder of the log cabins of early
days being princely in comparison to it.
l hastily disposed of my business, and left,
determined that l never would judge a
Kentucky farm house by its exterior, in
the future, another fact: the women in this
region, all smoke, chew tobacco or rub
snuff. I don't wonder now SO many
Southern men come north TO get North
ern wives.

Intervention in Mexico.

It would seem that the Allies propose
furnishing our neighbor, Mexico, with a
Monarch in the person Of the Archduke
Maximillian of Austria. The London Morn
ing Post, the organ of Lord Palmerston,
the head of the English Ministry, favors
it; and the Austrian monarchy is willing to
accept the position for the scion of the
Imperial House. Should Maximilion be-
come King or Emperor of revolutionary
Mexico, he will probably very soon realize
that "uneasy lies the head that wears
crown" The United States will be likely
to have a word to say in this proposed dis
position OF Mexico, before the arrange
ment of the European powers is consuma-
ted.
Our Government was invited to ioin
England, France and Spain in the Mexi-
can expedition, and Mr.. Stewards reply de.
clining to do so appears in the London pa
pers. 1t bears date December 4th. Mr..
Seward does not call in question the right
or suficiency of the grounds which have
led to the Intervention of the allied pow
ers, but says the United States have an
interest against their acquiring territory in
Mexico, or gaining any other advantages
IL which the United States cannot partici-
pate, and acquits them of any such design.
Our Government has cause, also, of COM
plant against Mexico. but declines enter
ing into the scheme, first because it is con-
trary 10 the contradtional policy of our
country against foreign alliance; second,
because it would be unkind to enforce de-
mands against sister republic, torn by in
testine disorders; because Mr.. Corwin has
had authority to treat with Mexico in our
behalf, and the result of his efforts has not
appeared. Mr.. Seward, in conclusion, says
that the treaty will contain nothing un-
friendly to the allied powers, and will be
shown TO them when affected. AT the
same time sufficiently large feet will be
left in Mexican waters to protect American
interests.
