New YoRK, July IA.

The Commercial says that the proprietors
and employees of the Museum are thoroughly
convinced that the fire was the work OF an
incendiary. The FIRE was first discovered in
the basement, and on running to the roof to
turn ON the water from large tank, the
flames were discovered bursting out on the
second floor, on the third floor, near the
stage of the lecture room, and on the soup
hoor. Treasurer Tiffany, who had gone to
the roof to turn on the water, found his exit
cut of, and was obliged to descend from the
upper windows by leaping to the balcony be-
low. Returning to his Office he took from
the safe $500, 900 in Government bonds, and
left the building.
The manager had lately received anonye
nous letters containing threats Of burning
the building on account, it is supposed, Of the
play Of JEFF. in petticoats.
Among the works of art saved at the Mn-
scum, yesterday, was the Greek slave; also,
twcnty-four gigantic pictures illustrating the
battles OF Washington, painted by John
McNevin, which were soon to be exhibited az
panorama. Fortunately they had not yet
been taken into the Museum building. but
were stored elsewhere. The giantess, Anna
Swan, had a narrow escape. She was found
at the head of the stairs in . swooning condi-
ton from smoke, and was with difficulty
assisted out of the building She lost every
thing except the clothes she wore, and in her
trunk was $40 in gold, besides some green
backs and all her clothing. The wax figure
Of JEFF. Davis Was carried out, but just az the
street was reached, its head dropped off, 1t
was afterwards found suspended to lamp
post.
A soldier was forced to jump from the third
story window. He says he had in his com
pany James Burns, of Lancaster, Pa, mem
Der OF the 6sth New York regiment, and it is
feared he perished. The monster bear was
lowered from an upper window on ladder by
chain attached to his neck. He was very
docile. The learned seal was also got ont,
though fought against rough treatment. He
received the tanks, holding water and alliga-
tors were broken to let the water food, the
building leaving their occupants to roast
rather than boil
Barnum, who was at Bridgeport, telegraphed
TO have his agent ready to sail for Europe on
Saturday TO secure curiosities for Q new mu-
scum.

Festival 10 Sherman and Cox.
CINCINNATI July IA


At the festival given to Generals Sherman
and Cox, at Columbus, yesterday, Sherman
alluded to charges made against him while he
was in command in Kentucky, that he had
demanded for the campaign two hundred
thousand men. He said the fact was, that
when visited by Secretary Cameron, he ex-
planned the difficulty Of marching into Ten
nessee by divergent lines-one to Nashville
and the other TO East Tennessee, with forces
largely outnumbered by the rebel armies con-
fronting him. On those lines he had but
1890 men to meet an opposing force of
$4,000. When asked by Secretary Cameron
how many men were needed, he replied /:
" For the present campaign, 1000; and be-
fore you can reduce the South to subsection,
you must have two hundred thousandn This
statement was made in presence of Secretary
Cameron, the military and family, but was
afterwards published in Eastern papers in a
detailed and incorrect form.

RBTHos. JEFFERSON and the men of i'm
mortal fame, who wrote and published to the
the world, the great declaration of human
rights, and announced the true principles oil
Free Governments said, that Governments
derive their just powers from the consent Of
the governed
CHAs. Mason, chairman of the Democratic
Association denies the proposition and amends
it in his address to the faithful, "that Govern
ment derives its Just powers from the consent
of the srhite men governed" Now if CHAs.
MASON or anybody else has authority to amend
this principle of our Fathers in one way he
may amend it in any way or in many ways,

the foundation of free institutions.

s@- We reckon the loyal" Copperhead
leaders, who will rush to the soldiers anti
negro suffrage meeting to night, would be per-
fectly safe in wearing the ''copperhead" and
''butternut' badges which Union soldiers
forced them to hid away during the war. 1t
would be most seasonable time, in the first
fervor Of their newly awakened mutual love,
for the lesaers to exhibit the badges Of
their party, that the soldiers may become fa-
miliar with the emblems of the party banners
under which they propose to enlist. By all
means, bring ont your ''butternut" and your
''corpery" badges, in which you eoried and
there are some radical secesh among you that
would do we'll to produce those sample secesh
flags, which they have been constrained dur
ing the war to keep out of public view, for
their own private admiration.

FoUTH OF JULY.-This day of nation
al Jubilee is near at hand. On its an.
Oual return our people used to welcome
ID with booming cannon; ringing bells, and
all the paraphernalia Of nations joy. 1t
was the peoples gala day, when the citi-
zens met to celebrate a nations glory
and in those festivals they were taught
10 admire and love their insti utions.-
Such lessons should ce revived, and the
people again be taught the value Of the
priceless boon of constitutional liberty
What occasion so appropriate to COM
mencs this work Of love of country and
national pride as the coming fourth .
Perhaps there has been no period of our
history when the people have had greater
reason to rejoice and be glad than the pres.
ent. We have just emerged from the most
gigantic war the world ever saw, and it is
TO be hoped that we are about to commence
new era Of prosperity unprecedented. 1t
will also be fitting season to pay suita-
BILE honor to the returning braves. We
trust that our citizens will move in the
matter, and see that we have a general
and appropriate celebration of the national
anniversary.
