TWo have received several commune att o MS
on the death of President L,ncoln, more than
one Of tho number, exceliently written and
breathing the right spirit; but cannot find tho
spaco for them at present. This great calamity
has made all hearts fell sad, and has stirred up
q deep feeling Of indignation against the authors
of the rebellion, ending as it has in the crown
ing act Of nfamy, of assa.sinatins the head Of
the nation.
SAD DEAru AND FIaR.-A FIRE occurred last
night at half past IL O'Clock the west side Of
the river, consunin: two or three dwellings aud
stable. Tho value of these WAS not great but
most horrid to relate, an aged widow lady, Mrs.
O'Noil, was consum 81 in the drc. Whcl the Gre
was first discovered, it was pretty well under
way; the house occupied by Mrs. O'Neil was all
in flames tn. lower part Of it, when sic appeared
at the chamber window asking what she should
do. She told to jump and she would be
caught but she tsrned back, aud was not seen af.
forwards. No means of rescung her was at hand,
sand bssdcs it required the attention Of all those
present at tho time to save the inmates Of the
mex. building, now On FIRE. II is probable
that Mrs o'Ncil was unable to save herself from
exhaustion.

IF we are to cxpend all our charity on the
defeated rebels, aEd ncver for the think OF
the misery they have caused and which is now
nnrcpcnted Of, VIC might as yell go little far
ther and let them have their Southern Ccnfedera-

the MEN CApTURRD FROM LEE. 1t has been
stated that General Lee had turned over Only
