Boston on Monday evening with the follow

"We must uphold the constitutional gov

it, We must standby the flag of our faith

all, we must strengthen the hands aud en-.

The telegraph briefly announced the
barning Of the dwelling Of Mr.. Douglas Fra
ser, in Buffalo, tho morning Of the 9th,
and taht his wife and three children perished
IL the flames. Tho Ere was discovered
about five o'clock in the morning, by a
neighbor, aud was then in the back part ol
the house, coming though the windows
The Commercial says:
The few persons who were frstdr tc
the spot endevored to arouse tho inmates
Bat without effect. The doors were burst
open and the windows broken in, and every
exeriion was made to penetrate to that
portion Of the building where the inmates
were sleeping, but the heat was sointense,
and the volume Of smoke was 50 dense as TO
render all exertions in vain, and Mrs. Fraser
and her three children boy about nine,
one Of Eve, and little girl Of three years
Of age-perished. The lady, with the two
youngest children, were sleeping in a front
chamber, up stairs; the Oldest boy slept
back, on the same floor.
If auythfngeould add to the horror Of the
occurrence, il may be found ia the facl that
the husband and father, Mr.. Fraser, was
sent from the city at the time, having left
town yesterday, as is ssupposed, to attend to
some business in Hamilton, Canada. He
is a aiawyer, gentleman Of means, and
highly e0nneeted in the old country.
Il is supposed BY those who discovered
the FIRE and endevored to rescue the unfor-
tunate inmates, that they were sEoothered
in their beds by the smoke, as the dodiei
wore discovered 10 the remains Of the beds
on which they slept. The bodies whom dis
coyeredwere 50 cbarred and burned as to
render recognition impossible, save by the

director of that Office was about eighty
thousand dollars, which, according to the
letter Of the law belonged toh him. He, how
ever, won't back to the spiritof the law, and
though the law allowed him to pocket tho
eighty thousand dollars, he returned it to
the Government. And this is not all. L

assistant of his. n

spirit Of law requires that that should

gaveit back, not for the sake of performing

hoped it would be made up by some polili-

the brothers Of common tie might meet
again in a national convention and nominate
some gentleman, either Ct or unfit, for the
Presidency, and all go along nicely again,
as before. But when they come to enuncl-

some Of them think that, upon the whole,
it is best to prosecute the war. This has
been my idea from the beginning.

the facts put upon democratic" rational
and proceedings. Now how can any nat
ural man trust the declaration of an adhe-
rent of that party that he has never ex-
pressed any secession sentiments? He
may sincerely believe that he is loyal. and
a thistle may sincerely believe its burs are
figs, or better than figs, bat the unhappy
fact finds thorns in one aud rebel aid in
the other. Judge Wick is a lawyer. and,
as he once wittily expressed it on the
bench, "can guess at the law as well as
another" and he knows that the law just
ly presumes that man intends the effect
which his act causes. The rebels expect
help from from Democrats" alone; not
one Of them have ever said or dreamed that
any favor was to be looked for from the
other party; from Democrats alone comes
resistance to measures absolutely necessa-
ry for the prosecution of the war, and the
resistance is often aH1 openly justified on
the ground that it does interfere with war
prosecuted for abolition" purposes; but
for the attitude Of the Democratic" party
the rebels admit, aud every man sees, that
the rebellion would be utterly hopeless -
Now is this, the effect of Democratic"
action, intended? If it is, Democrat"
are disloyal; that is as evident as the ex-
istence of the war. If they don't intend
it, why in the name OF common sense and
common decency don't they change their
course, when they see its effects! To per-
sist in an unintended wrong when the
wrong is once seen, is to make it iHten-
tonal We commend these considers
tions to Judge Wick's prayerful reflection.

reason for distrusting his opinion Of the
harmless character of s'Democratic" sem
timents, whether written TO Jea. Davis or
not.

soldiers as curiosities. but the greater por-

order. for examination by the authorities.
Before long the public will learn what rev.
Citations are made in these interesting doc
uments, but we may anticipate fuller dis
closure so far as to state that one letter
from Judge Wick Of this city. and another
from Jesse d. Bright, both dated in 1861,
and full of the most virulent rebel sympa-
thies, are among them. Capt. Conner, of
the 18th regiment. was the fortunate finder
of Judge Wick's letter, which he assured
us, yesterday, "was regular secesh har-
rangus." He intended to have kept it,
but it was deemed by the officers charged
with collecting and forwarding the papers
10 the Government too important to be
omitted, and was, therefore, sent with the
rest. That of Jesse d. Bright was found
by another officer, who told Capt. Conner
of it, and of its thoroughly reasonable
character; but it, too, was seized by the
official collector as of too much conse-
quence to be kept in private collection as
mementoes. If these facts will give the
gentlemen particularly intererted any CON-
fort. we are happy to be the means of con-
veying it to them.
TIE discovery of Davis papers was
mado accidentally, we learn from Capt
Conner. They were hidden, or at least
put away. in the loft of an out house on
the plantation between Jackson and
Yicksburg. aad While Sherman's force in
pursuit Of Johnston was encamped there,
soldier went into the out house to get
some wood. The boards of the ceiling
struck him as about what he wanted, and
on pulling one Of them off the bottoms of
two or threo large boxes were seen. This
excited curiosity and led to an examina-
tion, which led to the capture of three
large dry goods boxes full OF letters and
papers. The private letters were all neat
y folded and endorsed-all those in our
hands. some of which we have published.
have been Thus carefully arranged-and
packed in one OF the boxes. The soldiers,
of course, soon scattered them, but when
news Of the discovery reached headquarters
an order was issued to have all the impor-
tant letters and papers collected and sent
to Washington, and thus but few of them
have got to the light as yet

more formidable every way. than the

gives the following description of it:
The Dunderberg combines the features
Of ram. a monitor and iron-claa. Her
length is 37S feet. width rs feet, and depth
of hold 80 feet. The model is peculiar;
the floor dead fiat, at an angle with the
sides, except at the forward end, where it
is nearly vertical. The hull is divided in
to water-tight compartments. If the rud-
der should be damaged or shot away. pro-
vision is made to attach another one
The sides below the main deck are 81 feet
thick, and on the casemate there are three
feet of solid timber firmly bolted. The
iron plating is II inches thick on the sides
and 81 inches on the casemate.
The vessel is seven thousand tons bur.
then. Her deck is bomb proof. and she
will be rigged half-mast and yards with
sails. which will enable her to cruise with
out the aid Of her engines.
The whole forward part of ihe vessel.
for distance of fifty feet, is solid wood
work. covered on the sides and edge with
the iron armor. constit uting the fatal ram,
which has the profile of an axe edge
Should this ram be Rocked away, which
is improbable, the hull will still remain
water-tight.
The engines are of six thousand horse
power. The two cylinders are one hum
dred inches in diameter and threa feet
apart; the cylinders will be assisted by an
independent air-pump. The inside dame
ter of the revolving turrets. situated fere
and aft on the casemate, will be twenty.
one feet. Their hight is nine feet. AM
pie room is left for working guns of the
heaviest calibre.
The casemate Is pierced for three broad
side guns on each side, as well as one fore
and one aft for bow and stern ehasers.-
The accommodations for the officers and
crew ara entirely unlike those of the mon
itors. and will be as comfortable as those

There will be eighteen state rooms in ths

resolution thanking Mr. Reeve for his able
and patriotic speech. thus endorsing. the

advice to his friends in this county that he

they will hazard the experiment, knowing

they would not select Mr. Reeve as their
