The Great Fire at Glenn'S Falls, N. Y.

ALDAN1 OuuG l..
The following are the particulars of the
terrible conflagration at Glenns Falls, just
received at theMo,7iag Express office,
The fire broke out in the rear building of
the Glenns Falls Hotel and spread SO
rapidly that all efforts to save it had to be
abandoned. The wind blowing a gale
drove the flames Many buildings were con-
sumed with their entire contents; the occu
pants not having time tn remove anything
The engines from Fort Edward and Sandy
Hill were present, but owing to the scarcity
of water in the more distant streets, efforts
to subdue the fire were futile
1t is reported that boy and man names
not known were killed and several persons
injured. &
The fire soon spread beyond control and
hundreds of men women and children are
cast out homeless and many penniIess.
Both banks were among the first to suffer-,
then the large White Hotel. Next the Jew
elers' stores, markets, drug stores, book
stores, dry goods, aud grocery stores were
all swept away. The Universaist and Pres
byterian Churches, the town hall, academy,
post Office, express and telegraph offices,
and very large number of dwelling houses
and other buildings were speedily destroyed.
The village is one area of smouldering
ruins. The fire ragged for FIVE hours, when
its ravages were stayed but not until the
wealth and business of the village were des-
troyed. There is no statement as to the
amount of insurance received.

Gen. FemOnt Accepts COnditiOnally the Nom
inatiOn Of the Cleveland Convention.
New YORK, Juue 6,

- New YORK, Juue 6.
A long letter from Fremont, accepting
the nomination of the Cleveland Convention
concludes asfollows: eff the Convention at
Baltimore will nominate any man whose
past life justi6es we'll grounded confidence
in his fidelity to our cardinal principles,
there is no reason why there should be any
division among the really patriotic men Of
the country. To any such shall be most
happy to give cordial and active support.
My own decided preference is to aid in this
way, and not be myself candidate But
If Mr.. Lincoln be renominated, as believe
| it would be fatal to the country to indorse a
policy and renew power which has cost us
the lives OF thousands of men, and needlessly
put the country on the road to bankruptcy,
there will remain no alternative but to or
ganize against him every element of cousci-
entious opposition with view to prevent
the misfortunes of his reelection. In this
contingency l accept the nomination at
Cleveland, and as preliminary step l have
resignsd my commission in the army. This
was sacrifice it gave me pain to take,
but had for long time fruitlessly endeav-
ored to obtain service. l make this sacrifice
now only to regain my liberty of speech and
leave nothing in the way of discharging to
my utmost ability, the task you have set be-
fore me.
'With earnest and sincere thanks for
your expressions of confidence and regard,
and for the honorable terms in which you
acquaint me with the actions Of the Conven-

The Nati0naI Ranking Pill

The amended National Bank bill is now
law, having passed both Houses, and receiv-

5000, 900 in cities with population of over
5, 600.
2. Banks must redeem at par at National

as commercial centers.
3. None but registered bonds can be re-
ceived as security for circulation, and the
necessary memorandum on these can be
signed by an officer of the bank, or by the
Comptroller.

prepared by the Comptroller.
The disagreeing amendments of the two
Houses of Congress to the National Bank bill
were adjusted through joint Committee of
Conference. The Senate receded from its
amendment limiting the amaunt to $500, 900
900 to apply either to the notes for circuIa-
ton or to the amount of capital stock. The
former branch of the proposition only is
therefore retained. The city of Washing
ton is included among the places of redemp-
ton. The circulation of the banks in lieu
of all existing taxes is one-half of one per-
cent, and deposits one quarter Of one per-
cent semi-annually, and similar tax is i'm
posed on capital in excess OF United States
bonds.

This report has been upon our table for
some days. but we have SO far neglected to
give it attention. We clip the following
from an exchange. 1t gives good synopsis
of the contents of the pamphlet .-
The leading article shows the character of
the plans adopted i'll Great Britain, Prussia
and the United States to estimate and report
speedily the amount and condition Of the
crops.
The table most interesting to farmers and
provision dealers is the one that exhibits the
amount of farm stock in January last.
Compared with the amount in 1859 as
returned in the censue of 1860 it is as fol-
lows in the loyal States:
