Mr.. EDITOR: The serious fire which occur
red on South Patrick street, Oh Tuesday night
last, has, see, aroused the property holders
on South Washington street to sense OF their
unprotected condition aud Induced them to aD-
ply the proper remedy. There arc many
other portions OF our city, however, much
more than halt It's territorial! cXtcDt--tO which
the water pipes cannDt be extended Without too
great expense, which are entirely at the mercy
of the incendiary; Tor | hesitate not to say
that although the portions OF the city supplied
With water, and, therefore, under the protcc-
ton Of the paid Department. are better pTotcc-
ted than formerly, the outlying portions were
never less 80 since Alexandria was bu!lt-thcre
are not even the fire buckets We used to have
before hose came into fashion. and il house
takes fire, it must burn down, and the only ser
vice that can be rendered is by the Hook aud
Ladder Co., pulling it down to save the
neighboring property.
Now there is simple remedy for this. The
Sun, and I think the Friendship have good
hand engines, and it is only necessary to turn
ish these engines with sleeve attachments to
the DUMPS such as they used to have, and
suf1iciency of hose, and the thing is done. The
Wardens, as we'll as the late Chief Engineer,
long ago pointed out to the City. Council the
absolute necessity Of having mere hose, even
for the protection Of the most Tricky settled
parts of the city, and should 4 great conAagra
ton occur, it will be difficult Tor that BODY to
repeat: Thou canst not say | did it. There
we're plenty Of pumps in the neighhorhood Of
the late fire, and had the hand engines been
there with plenty of hose, &C., the two bricks
certainly and perhaps TWO Of the frames, could
have been saved It does not seem to be gen
orally understood that steamers arc OF no use

DR.. Randall, in the Rural New York, advises


wool growers not to be disheartend at the
price OF wool, which has been low for some
time past. He predicts that the wool grower
will yet, and shortly, have career of prosperity,
and, he adds, that the man who has spent any
considerable portion of his life or capital in
establishing choice focks is exceedingly unwlse
to abandon or sacrifice them now, when de-
preston his reached its climax, and when every
change must be for the better.

an idea Of what occurred when the Virginia
Constitution that has not been adopted, was

Gen. Buffers famous order relative to the
ladies in New Orleans, was one Of the brutal
events of the war, which sank deep into the
hearts of the Southern people In a recent
speech at Lowell he referred to it in this wise:
,-''In New Orleans one Of his officers said that
he must go home, as he could not submit to
the insults of the aristocratic rebel women
Gen. Butler said that he would stop their in
suits, and issued his orders, placing them in
the same category with the common women Of
the town. Was this or was it not, right ~
We hope the question was answered satisfac

ner because some of them, had not treated his
officers respectfully, was manly, soldier, like
revenge Wasn't it? 49,

Possibly the Washington Chronicle may not
be far wrong, when in the exuberance of its
satisfaction it declares that it is just as futile
for the Conservatives to obtain comfort from
the result OF the Maine election as it would be
to attempt to draw blood from turnip or ex-
tract sunbeams from cucumber-it the idea
of comfort be used in certain sense. But,
then; allowing this, we may, at least, out OF
the uettle danger, pluck the flower consolation
also in certain sense-we admit. The
Conservatives, as the result shows, are In a
minority, to day, in Vermont aud Maine. Not
wthstanding this, there is a large, respectable,
decided, determined portion of the people in
both these States, utterly and entirely opposed
to the whole course and policy of the Radical
party, aud in favor Of restoring the Southern
States to their rights. Large, respectable, de-
