Speaking Of the Peace Conference Of 1861, the
| Obserrer says: - =.
1.-THE Conference did not assume to: itself any
posoer-either to make war OF peaoe-it was merely
an assembly Of distinguished men from the different
| States extra constitutional body-to consult
| together how to devise a plan that might be sub
United To the consideration and action OF Congress
for recopcng differences in such manner as to
prevent war It interfered and proposed to inter-
ere with no rights of the Executive or OF Congress
| But the ayowed object Of the "peaee men IN the
present day was to make peace in defiance OF the
constitutional rights Of the President and Senate
an object impossible as it was unconsttutional"
Now, we say that the avowed object of the peace
mem of the present day was" not ITO make peace
in defiance Of the constitutional rights of the Presi
| dent and Senate" Their object was to bring the
sovereignty of the States to bear in obtaining .
peace on the basis of separation, just as it was
Drought to bear in 1861 to prevent war. No revo-
luton in our present system was advised or con:
tempIated. But it was feared, as it is still feared

SwINDLrNa,-We yesterday heard of a
little circumstance which transpired day
or two ago, in which farmer tried to
come the "shenanagan" over one of our
citizens, but failed completely. He had
brought in load of corn and in weighing
it, remained on the load, but when the
corn was unloaded and they came to
weigh the wagon the farmer got off. Our
friend noticed this, and after the wagon
was weighed and driven off, told the
farmer to get on the scales, as be did
not care to pay corn price for hogs in his
condition.

FIRE! FIRE! FIRE l-About s O'Clock
last evening Hamss were seen issniDg from
the lumber yard of Magoun & Andrews,
situated on the corner Of Fifth and Timea
streets. The fire bell sounding the alarm
the different FIRE companies were prompt
ly on the ground. The fire, however,
was under such headway that great exer-
tion was required in order to stay its
progress. Between 10 and IL o'clock
the fremen were steadily gaining, and
with the assistance of hooks and ropes
one large pile of blazing lumber was
thrown down SO that water could be
thrown directly on it, and in a short time
the fire was under control and very soon
extinguished. One or two men were
somewhat injured by . ladder giving way,
however not seriously. The loss is con-
siderable, there being no insurance. The
amount, however, is not yet ascertained.
Much credit is due the different fire COM
panies of our city who labored increasingly
until the flames were all extinguished,
and also for the promptness with which
they responded to the call.
The fire is supposed to be the work of
an incendiary, as there was no FIRE about
the yard.
