Destruction of Newspaper Mails from New
YoFlr.

The newspaper mails (thirty-six bsgs)
forwarded from the Postofice in this city,
via the five o'clock evening train over the
Erie Railway, on the 29th of December
last for the following offices. were de-
stroyed by FIRE near Adrian, New York,
about Jour O'clock On the evening Of the
SOth:
Cleveland, seven bags Chicago, nine !;
Columbus, one Cairo, one; Cincinnati,
three; Nashville, one St. Joseph, two !;
St. Louis, three; Denver City, one; Du-
buque, one; Fort Wayne, one; Indisnapo-
lis, two Louisville, two st. Paul, one
Toledo, one; Marietta and Cincinnati
Route Agent one.
The bags for the Offices named were
placed in the forward end Of the express
car, and took fire, it is supposed, from
sparks from the engine, admitted through
the aperture through which passes the bell
rope. When the Mail Messenger discov-
cred the fire., he Immediately endeavored
to stop the train by pulling the bell cord !;
but this having already been burned of,
bis efforts wer OF no avail ~ motion
Of the train served to increase the flames,
and before the train was stspped, and ef-
forts made TO extinguish the fire, the con-
tents Of the car were about consumed.

Ths first anniversary Of the Euancips-
ton Proclamation has naturally assumed
its place in the listof national festivals.
All ever the country quiet yet eloquent
incidents gave character to the day
Those especially to whom the Emsncipa-
ton Proclamation applies, with the pecu-
liarity Of personal interest, were foremost
Ia celebrating its second birthday. Four
Of them paid New Years visit to Presi-
dent Lincoln, and whilst they exchanged
with him the compliments Of the season,
loyal millions offered congratulations
upon the movement which that season, one
year ago, insugurated. All over the North,
the observance Of the day was serious and
earnest. But 1t was not only in the North
that the observance was maintained. At
Beaufort, South Carolina, immense prepa-
ratiOns were made for the due celebration
Of the dsy. The civil and military pro-
eession inoluded the Friends Of Freedom,
who prOfer their greeting; wounded and
disabled soldiers at the post; 1st Regiment

much deliberstiOn in the formation Of their

PeW~hentinE nj mr. Beechsr's Church.
Last Wednesday there was large atten 1.
snee at Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, REV.
Henry Ward Beechers) of those who we're
anxious TO secure sittings during the COM
ing year. Mr.. n. o. Pillsbury of6cisted
as auotioneer-the same gentlemen who
has acted upon similar occasions for many
years past. The notice said that the sale
would commence at seven o'clock in the
evening; but before the hour, the church
was crowded to its utmost capacity.
Precisely at seven o'clock Mr.. Beeeher
appeared on the platform, and in few
words stated TIE object Of the gathering
and the terms Of sale. He said each pew
had fixed valuation, and that the choice
of all in the kouse would be offered, with
out reservation for previous occupants, to
the highest bidder.
Mr.. Pillsbury then commenced the sale,
and continued the same up to III o'clock
without inteFmission.
The proceeds Of the sale far exceeded
that Of any previous year. The excess is
st least twenty-five per cent. over that ef
the sale in January 1852.
The sales this year amount to over S32.-
900, while last year the proceeds were only
about $2S, 900, showing an increase of So
600. There were very many persons pres
ent who did not obtain seats, owing to the

even the temporary sests whiehhsve been
recently erected in the rear portion Of the
church, were disposed Of ct q remarkably
high price. The highest premium paid
was two hundred dollars, by Mr.. Horace
ClaAin, the next highest was one hundred
and eighty dollars, ct which price several
