FALSE ALAIM-on Friday night of last week,
about II O'clock the steam whistle attached to the
boiler of Esey & Co 5 Melodeon Factory, commeno-
cd blowing and large number Of our citizens turned
out promptly TO attend fire. Both engines were
ready for use in a twinkle; and, indeed, one of the
machines was run down Main street to the bridge,
but burning buildings were as scarce as shooting
stars were week ago. Not one to be had in town.
An examination of the cause of the alarm, proved
that the valve inside the whistle which is only kept
in its pnce, when closed by the pressure of the steam
upon it, was permitted to fall down by the unusual
lowering Of the pressure in the boiler that night and
when the valve had fallen from its position there was
still steam enough left to blow the whistle at tone
to be heard all over the ncghborhood As soon as

An exchange relates conversation that

dicted that the Union would soon be divided
into two Republics
"Where will the division or boundary line
be" interrogated Prof Jewett, the librarian.
to whom the conversation was addressed.
THE line separating the slave and free
States" answered Mr. Davis.
Then" said the Professor, you expect
to claim the National Capitol;'
"Of course" was the reply; "and this very
Smithsonian Institute will be within the
Southern Republic
But" asked the Professor, chow will you
bring about such division Of country? Do
you think the free States will agree to it
without a resort to arms?"
Sir said jeff Davis, in his scntentious
manner; ''the North will never fight us on
that question. There will be no bloodshcd.
When the South says she will seccdc and
bccome distinct nationality, the North will
be glad to let us go, and that peaccably. 1t
will be q blOodless revolution"

ton few days ago, the following conversation
took place:
capt. Ward-We believe, Mr.. President,
that the constant drain upon Us and our. re-
sources is the vast importatlons that come from
England. We believe that that drain will pro
duce very disastrous results unless the present
tariff is increased So far as the currency is
concerned, II it is greatly reduced we believe 1t
will result IN disaster and bankruptcy.
Mr. Johnson-As [ have remarked, if we re-
store the Government, and thus increase the
demand for articles, our currency will be placed
upon Grmer basis. think this does away
with all argument for a diminution Of the
amount of circulation. But there is one thing
of paramount consideration. Let US have a
Government Let us have a united people /;
then we have got Government.
Mr.. d. B. Ward-Mr President, we are all
laboring under the belief that we have a Gov
eminent.
Mr.. Johnson-Then let us have a a0hoZe Gov
eminent. Then We have got wider area Tor
