TEYHE necessity for Insurance md the
value of WEALTHY Y, STRONG COR
PORATIONS, is forciblv illustrated by the
late fire at Portland. Several WEAK COM
panies are destroyed. Portland has a pop
ulation of 5000; was handsomely built,
mostly fine brick and stone buildings; pro-
tectcd and screened with upwards of 300
shade trees; bounded on three sides by
water--indeed, literally, almo4t rising from
the ocean; with a good steam fire depart
ment--yet it has had $40, 200, 600 of property
consumed in a few hours-from the very
insignificant cause of n fire cracker. Re-
member the trifling origin of fires that
sweep away in - few hours the earnings
of years. Consider your best interests, and

SUCCESS OF THE IMPERIAL FORCES.
SAN Francisco. Nav 9

,. SAN FRANCISCO, May "a.
The Mexican Imperial Consul has received
official dispatches from Mazatlan of May 10TH
stating that the Liberals attacked the garrison
OF. Hermorville on the 4th inst, and after
bloody struggle captured and piaged the town.
The Imperial forces subsequently arrived and
after killing 200 of the Liberals and drove the
rest, recaptlred most all their booty.
Mr.. Anisa, an American citizen, and Don
D. Gonzales, who refused to give $4,000 to the
Liberal cause were cruelty murdered, together
with thirteen Americans.
The Imperialists had defeated Corona at
Sengalas, driving him thirty-live miles and
killing $50 of his men, and capturing large
amount of ammunition.
Several wealthy families arrived here on the
Continental who had fled from the Liberal
rule
The published accounts say that at the sack
of Hermonville the Liberals mustered thirty
eight foreigners and 500 citizens, who helped
defend the town.
A strong division of Imperialists started
for Mazatlan on the 10th inst, in pursuit of
Corona. hta IA,
SAN FRANCISCO, May %.
A letter from Hermonvile corroborates the
account of the atrocities which the Liberals
committed in that place, and states that the
stores were ransacked, the rich inhabitants
laid under contribution, and all who could not
pay murdered, and all the women violated.
The question OF republican or monarchial
principles was entirely set aside and the whole
population of Sonora were rising to avenge
the cruelties of the Liberals.

POLITICAL.

Speaking of removals from office, the Ar-
gus says, "The Radicals have suddenly come to
the solemn conclusion, that the President has
no power to remove from Office If they had
made this discovery as their party was coming
into power, instead of as it is going out there
would have been less suspicion that the wish
is father to the thought" This is not quite
fairly stated. The Radicals" do not dispute
the Presidents power conferred by the first
Congress under far other circumstances. They
do hold that this power has become too danger
GUS to be entrusted to any one man, and should
be taken away by tho same body which origin
ally granted it.
The Freedmen's courts have been abolished
in Tennessee, the State law permitting colored
testimony in the civil courts having gone into

The leading Democratic prints are out in
full cry for thorough overhauling and reorgan-
ization of the Cabinet. The New York World
tells the President that "he will never know
how far the people are with him. or against
him, SO long as he retains in his Cabinet men
who treat with opposition or Indifference his
policy" The Herald exclaims: "Let the Pres-
dent turn his Cabinet out of doors, withous
further hesitation, like piece of old furniture
that may have been very useful to his prede-
cessor, but is now no longer available and is
very much in the way" The Neps-that North
ern sentry of secession-calls the Cabinet "a
den Of conspirators;" says "the staff he 1.-THE
PRESIDENT has chosen for his support is up
lifted to crush him." wants to know "how long
he will continue to nurse these vipers in his
bosom;" and finally concludes: eff Mr.. John
son has sense, he will distrust his Cabinet: if
he has nerve, he will remodel it.
