FIRE DEPARTMENT AT TSACcARAPPA.-We
were glad to find upon spending a day at Sac
carappa that measures are being adopted to
organize an efficient fire department in that
village. A good company has taken charge
of the engine, and it is officered by men who
have seen service in the fire department of this
city; and we earnestly hope that the citizens
of Saccarappa will give them all the support
and encouragement they need, SO that in time
Of fire they may have reliable protection.
Strictly temperate rules have been adopted by
the company, which we think commendable,
and as it should be. u

WASHINGTON. May 5.
The financial excitement here has been in
creased to-day by the fact of the suspension

the United States Consul at London, dated
April 2lst, state that the cattle plague is ra-
.pidly decreasing, and the expectation was gen
eral that it would soon entirely disappear.
1t is stated that negotiations OF considerable
magnitude have just been concluded with the
Mexican Minister here, which involves the
accession to certain leading capitalists of near
ly the entire peninsula of Lower California
for colonization purposes and secures the de-
velopment OF extraordinary mineral wealth of
that territory. The Mexican Government re-
tains an interest in the proceeds OF the enter
prise, but it is understood that the sum adj
vanced by securers of the grant is upwards of
millions of dollars, which at this time will be
OF important service to the Liberal cause.

10 the Sixth West Virginia veteran
Cavalry. No pains were spared IN Inc .,
orrancsms,ts and everything passed OF
IN the most agreeable manner possible
Col Snyder, Of the MLure House.
having been soldier, seems fully to
understand what is needed on such c.
casions, and the supper was one that
would do credit to any hotel in the land.
The table fairly groaned with its bur-
den, and the quality, and the abundance,
gave universal satisfaction
Governor Foreman welcomed the reg
imeut to their homes, and assured them
that the State was proud of their
record.
Calls were then made for Adjutant
General Peirpoint, who responded in a
few pertinent remarks. He said this
regiment was among the first to respond
to the call Of their country, and that II
their record as citizens was as fair as 1T
had been as soldiers, he thought the
State would ever be proud of them.
Col. Fleming, of the Sixth, next made a
few remarks. He said: This is the last
time we meet as an organization. But
let us be faithful to that cause for which
we have risked our lives, and all will be
well.
Major General Kelly then compli
mented the men on their bravery, after
which he reminded them them that they
were now citizens of State which had
lately determined that none but loyal
men should take part in its government.
(Cheers)
He alluded to the report that some of
the men were thinking of going to the
west. He would be sorry TO lose them;
but il they must go, he would advice
them to marry q loyal girl from West
Virginia (Cheers.)
Captain Blue was next called for He
regretted that now the regiment was
about to separate forever. He could
bear witness to the gallant conduct Of
the regiment, both as men and soldiers.
He could only say, that with malice to
none and kindness to all, he would bid
them long farewell.
Lieutenant Brazie next spoke. He
said General Kelly had alluded to mar
rying loyal girls For his part, he had
married rebel, but he had put down
that rebellion, as we'll as taken part in
Squelching the great rebellion.
Colonel Z. NJ. Norton concluded in

pleasant, orderly manner. Indeed, we
