FIRE IN AUGUSTA AND PITTsToN. mail
agent on the Kennebec route informs us that
the carriage manufactory of Gardiner Phillips,
in Augusta, was destroyed by fire about three
o'clock Tuesday morning, together with sever
al carriages that were in the building. The
flames extended to barn owned by John A.
Pettepgill, Esq, destroying that. Several
houses in the vicinity were in great danger but
were saved The fire was caused by not thcr-
oughly extinguishing fire that had been built
in the backsmith's department Monday alter
noon for the p Irpose of setting a tire.
He also informs MS that fire took place in
Pittston, opposite Gardiner, about the same
time, destroying the Stevens brick store, which
was occupied in the upper part by two families
who barely saved their lives, losing all their
furniture. There was insurance on the build
ing for $2,5OO. Mr.. e. D. Knight lost furni-
ture in the store, to the value of five or six
hundred dollars; and lot of barrels stored in
the basement belonging to Mr.. j. Brooking,
and valued at $3.50 was also destroyed.

The STRUGGLE FOR EMPIRE.-The heavy
cost of transportation over the railroads and
canals which bring the products of the West
to Atlantic seaports, together with the insur-
anee rates and charges for elevatng, has given
rise to a movement on the part of Western
producers and commercial men that is viewed
with the greatest alarm at Chicago and New
York. By the new plan it Is proposed to avoid
adding third to the price of grain IN New
York, as at present, on account of the various
charges incident to its transportation. The
Mississippi is to be used for conveying produce
to the sea, and st. Louis is to become the point
of shipment, as Chicago now is. The New
York Tribune says that the energy with which
the undertaking has been pushed has natural
ly created in Chicago good deal of alarm. A
commercial convention, composed of represen-
tatives from the boards of trade of Chicagos
Milwaukee, Detroit, Toledo, Buffalo, and Os-
wego, and the Corn Exchange of New York
met there on Wednesday, the 28th ult., and
appointed a committee to go to Albany for the
purpose OF securing reduction of canal tolls,
and another to consult with railway managers,
underwriters and the owners of elevators rela-
tive to similar diminution of charges The
Convention debated the expediepcy of con-
verting the Erie Canal into free water course,
by act either of Congress or of the State Legis-
lature, but came to no conclusion, and likewise
failed to agree upon resolution in favor of
the constr uction of the Niagara ship canal
