Saw Mill of Samuel Alley, at Fort Madi-
son, was consumed by fire day before yes
terday. The fire was communicated from
the Planning Mill. Loss, $4,000 to $4,000.
The direction of the wind only prevented
greater loss. Mr.. Alley had contracts
with DIR. Stewart, the. builder of the new
block on Front Street, and perhaps other
o1 our cIIIZens. The loss, therefore, will
cause loss and embarrassment here, and
will enhance Mr.. Alleys damages.

SKIFF SroLEN.-A skiff was stolen from
Capt. Davis, of the Ferry. On Saturday
night the thief was seen making several
knots minute, and on Monday morning
Geo. Davis and Horatio Gates started in
"A skitf down the river in pursuit. They
heard of the thief at Iowayille, and at
Pittsburg, overhauled him. The skiff was
moored to the shore, but the Ferryman, of
whom inquiries We're made, and who from
his actions, was taken for q friend Of the
thief, gave him signal, and he at once
renewed his journey down the river. a
few shots from the revolvers of the boys,
coming in dangerous proximity to his
head, caused him TO put for the opposite
shore when he seized his trunk and put
for the timber, leaving the skiff, which
was rowed back up stream and restored
TO the owner.

The Worlds special says there was al
most as much disagreement in caucus as
was in the Senate. The difficulty seemed
10 be to agree upon proposition as sub
stitute for the third Section of the Constitu-
tional amendment, the Radical Senators
insisting that all leading rebels shall for
ever be- DISTINGUISHED from holding any
Federal Office. The probabilities are they
will compromise the matter by putting in
