The bids for furnishing l 900 barrels of -four

Saturday. Offers were made tor soO barrels

hundred barrels were taken at 9.54, and 5OO at

Favette McMullen, of Virginia, formerly

The National Intelligencer says: Propensity
for horse-steaing was probably never SO rite as
now, for not day passes without complaint
from some one or other OF the loss OF such anil
mails In fact there is a conspiracy OF horse
| thieves in the District and neighboring coun-
ties s to break up which would be great relief to
the farmers and other possessors OF live stock.
The National Integencer thinks that it is
''pleasant change to turn from 1.-The butch
er knife assaults Of Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens
upon the Presidents policy, to the attitude Of
Senator Sumner, who is equally earnest in op-
position to that policy, though che appears IN
the field in full dress and with gloved hands "
Mr. Sumner, it appears, is to lead in Con-
gress in the measures which would seem to be
most hostile to the plan of restoration. Ii
the Ultraists do not want the Union or the
States restored, can they call themselves U.non
men?

ALEXANDRIA, GAZETTE AND VIRGINIA ADVERTISER.

Gen. S1ocum has revoked the order he re-
Gently gave in Mississippi, in opposi ton to the
order Of the Provisional Governor for organi-
cation of the State troops. His order of revo-
cation says: ''No officer will, in any manner,
interfere with the organization of troops pur-
suant to the proclamation of the Governor
The order which is revoked was issued from
apprehension OF danger Of conflict between the
State troops and the colored troops serving the
u. S., and in the firm belief that it was IN &C
cordance with the policy Of the Government.
It is the imperative duty Of every y. 5: officer
serving in this department to be guarded IN the
execution of all orders; to avoid giving offence;
and, in case of conflict with either officers or
soldiers serving under the State authorities, to
postpone action in the matter, if possible, until
it has been referred to the district or depart
ment commander for decision.

A Philadelphia paper contains an account Of
the grand financial operations of the conductors
of the street cars in that city, who have man
aged to defraud three companies Of funds to
the amount of a hundred thousand dollars
The receipts of one road in the city, after the
detection of the frauds, increased one hundred
dollars per day. On this same road it was
ascertaiaed that not only had some Of the dri-
vers been in the habit of extorting money from
the conductors, but that even some Of the
hostlers and stable boys had been in the daily
receipt of regular amounts which they exacted
from the drivers before the horses would be
brought from the stables The drivers in many
cases had been in years past connected with the
omnibus system OF Philadelphia, and had thus
graduated in a school Of morality with taught
them that the chief end of man was to make
money.

The Cincinnati Gazette of September "A
says: We are able to state, on the most

by the Eastern press relative to the speedy
trial of Jefferson Davis and Chief Justice
Chase's connection with it are unfounded
The Chief Justice has very properly declared
all conference on the subject and'i is not at
all likely that he will hold any court in Virginia

have had an opportunity Of legislating in regard
to the circuit.

1t is queer notion, that the sovereign power in
the land is restricted in the use Il whatever means
may be needed to save the government from over.
Confederate
1t is certainl y new "notion that there is any
Sovereign power" whatever in the Confederate
government. TheStates alone possess sovereignty,
and the common government is one of delegated
powers. If there was any Doubt about this under
:he old government there certainly can be none
under the new, for the latter is expressly founded
on the principle of State sovereignty "The gov
ernment" can "save itself only in Constitution
al way. The exclusive powers which have been
delegated to by ths sovereign States must be exer
cised in their letter and spirit and whenever tram
pies on the letter disregards the spirit It ceases
to be "the government" according to the Oonstitu.
ton, and becomes an usurpaton. This is the true
doctrine Of the new government, whatever may
haye been the true doctrine IS to the old.
1t is noteworthy fact that the most thorough
consolidationists among are the former reeating
advocates Of States rights They have either
changed their opinions, or they held and urged
such opinions only for the purpose of destroying
the old government Under the former government
the States were every thing in the estimation Of
these gentlemen but now they are nothing, and ali
the "soverelgn power in the land" resides in the
mere agent of the States. These gentlemen are Is
nc0nstant in their opinions On government as they
have shown themselves unfit to manage public af
fairs IN the great crisis through which we are pass

The Fire i'm Charlotte.


We condense from the Charlotte Democrat the
following account of the late cona.grstion in
that City:
About half past o'clock, Saturday morning last
the fire broke ont in small building near the pAs
sengs. shed Of the North aud South. Carolina rail.
road, and near the Quartermasters buildings Also
The wind was blowing with great rapidity, and the
fire soon spread to the shed, the Quartermaster's
warehouses; and thence the main buildings of the
depot consuming them all, except the N. q. R. R.
warehouse, which was partly burnt together with
cotton piled upon the platforms.
The government lost $4,000 sacks of Corn and
oats, 1900 sacks Of flour. 16o hogsheads Of sugar
bssides blankets, leather &C. Only few hogshsads
of sugar were saved. and 1000 sacks of corn were
taken from the ruins in damaged condition later
in the day. The money &C., in the iron safe, which
remained in the Quartermaster's building, was not
damaged, though Maj Echols lost some other
| papers. The loss Of the government probably
from five to six millions.
The 200 bales of cotton on the platform belonged
mostly to individuals, besides large quantities o
freight in other places which totally destroyed
Next to the government the Charlotte and South
Carolina railroad is the heaviest loser-the loss
probably, amounting to $2,0O0,000 The whole
loss sustained it is thought will reach $1O 0G0 600
Had 1t not been for the rain which fell part o.
the night and for day or two previous, the loss
| would nave been much heavier.
The fire is supposed to have originated from 1
defective stove rope, but various opinions are ex
pressed on the subject-some attributing it to neg
hgence. A large guard has always been kept OF
the premises, and why the fire was not discovered
in time to put it out is rather strange to say tst
least. At any rate it is . most unfortunate occur
renee Especially is the loss of provisions to b.
regretted.
We are not sufficiently informed to say whethc,
or not any Of the government officers are to blam,
| in the matter
