Another Fire.

Fires seem to be Of late the order Of the
day. For four days past there has been an
average Of one daily. The fourth took
place about four o'clock yesterday after
noon. at No. 33 East Gay street, in a
frame house, the residence of a colored man
by the name Of Chancellor. 1t originated
from stovepipe or defective fue in the
back part OF the building. The small upper
story in that part of the house was soon In
flames, and notwithstanding the exertions
of the Fire DEPARTMENTAL three Of the
engines being on the ground-was nearly
or quite consumed. aesi .r. rHH..fb
The vigorous plying of the engines and
the constant streams Of water thrown by
the firemen, saved the balance of the house,
as well as the adjoining buildings, which
we're also in imminent danger of destruc-
tion. The furniture from the burning
building, as well as from those next to it,
was mostly removed, so that little damage
was done beyond that caused by the fire, to
Chancellor's house, except such as neces-
sarily resulted from the throwing Of such
profuse quantities of water and the remov-
al of windows and furniture. .t-H
We have heard no reliable estimate of the
loss occasioned by the fire. 1t was proba-
bly, $500 or more. Chancellor was insured
in the PhGnix Company of Hartford, Conn.

VaIedictOry of Governor Andrew, OF Massa.
chusetts.

Boston, January 4.-Govenor Andrew deliv.
cred a lengthy valedictory address to the Legis-
lature to-day, in which he ventures the opinion
that the Government of the United States ought
to require the people of those States lately in
rebellion to re form their Constitutions, by first
guaranteeing TO the people of color, now the
wards of the nation, their civil rights as men
and women on an equality with the white popu-
laton by amendments irrepealable in terms
Second. BY regulating the elective franchise ac.
cording to certain laws of universal applica,
ton, and not by rules merely arbitrary
Third. BY annulling the ordinances of secession.
Fourth. BY disappearing the Rebel debt; and
fifth, by Tatifying the ientire slavery amend
ments OF the United States Constitution by their
Legislatures. And he would have all these ques-
tions save the fifth (the disposition OF which is
regulated by the Federal COnstitutiOn) put to a
vote of the people themselves.
On the subject of amnesty he says:-When the
day arrives, which surely must come, when
an amnesty substantially universal shall be pro-
CLAIMED, the leading minds OF the South who by
temporary policy and artificial rules had been
for a while disiranchised, will resume their in.
fuence and their sway. The capacity of leader

age, talents and win entitle them to lead will

AN IMPORTANT RUM0R.
Reported Interview Between President
Johnson and J. Watson Webb - The
Mexican QuOstiOn-AIleged Reception
by tine President of a Letter from the
French Emperor.

WASHINGTON, January 3.-General James Wat.
son Webb, United States Minister to Brazil who,
since his arrival here, has been confined by ill
ness TO the house of his son-in-law, Major Ben
ton, went out for the first time this M mOruing,
called at the White House, and had protracted
interview with the President The General as
is well known, returned from Brazil ola Paris,
and much interest attaches to the interview Of
Today from the current report that the General
brought letter from Napoleon to the President
With this web is also woven the woot
Of a generally believed story that before
MI. Seward went away last week he
went or sent to the General for that letter.
Mr.. Webb declined to deliver it on the ground
that it was directed to the President, not to the
Secretary, so that Seward started ON his Havana
voyage a sadder but no wiser man. 1t is known,
however, that General Webb breakfasted with
the Emperor few weeks since, and the table
talk of that occasion was doubtless duly spread
before the President this morning. AS for the
Letter, If the General brought one, it will proba.
bly, be sent into the Senate with the rest OF the
diplomatic correspondence on the situation in
Mexico, which correspondence was Justify called
tor almost as soon as the Senate opened its doors
this session.

The New Orleans Cotton Market.

New ORLEANS, January 3.-Neil, Bros. & Co.'s
Cotton report of December 30th says their
advices from all points fully confirm them in the
opinion that their estimate of the total supply
given ia their last circular is not too high.
inclning them to the outside figures, 2, 100 900
bales. The course of trade has been a good deal
changed by the customary rise in the rivers.
Instead of receipts ofla hundred thousand bales,
the weekly average has been restricted to sixty
thousand.
Information now received from all points
states thar the rivers are rapidly rising, and the
receipts are already on an increasing scale,
namely, the receipts here and at Mobile for the
week ending December Is were 90 l69; Decem-
Der %, 80, 664 December 90 81, 200. The receipts
at all points and the cotton orWarded North
already amount to l,360, 900 bales, thus contro-
-yertine Secretary McCulloch's estimate of 1900
OO0dor the entire supply, old and new.
There are no signs of q serious falling off at
any point, and the effect of the tardy rise of the
rivers will be to protract the delivery to a COM
paratively late date. The question arises will
not the strength of large holders at Mobile and
New York be exhausted before the first falling
off takes place, and can it continue to be piled
up in ports? Already the stock held at the
leading points exceeds 100000 bales, and is daily
increasing, whereas the total foreign exports
since the 1st of September amounted to only
3OO 900 bales down 10 the latest dates from all
points
So far as present indications can be trusted,
they think it not unreasonable to anticipate a
crop for 1866 aud 1867 of from 100000 to
1900, ,OOO whereof not less than one-half will be
retained in the country, say 900 or 10000
from sthe Atlantic States and Florida, and
1900, 900 to 500, 900 from the South.

Don Juan Williams Reboledo, the commander

is not an American or an English scion as it is
generally understood, perhaps on account OF his
