HERMITAGE CHAPEL on FIRE.

From respected correspondent, we learn that
at about half past ten o'clock Wednesday
morning last, Hermitage Chapel was found to be
on fire. A school is kept in the church during
the week. The fire caught around the chimney
above the plastering, and next to the roof. For
funately, there was a ladder upon the roof and
a trap-door in the ceiling by means of which wa
ter was thrown on the fire inside, above the cell
ing and on the roof Most luckily. DR.. Kenner-
ly and hired man were at home, and, soon after
the cry Of fire, were at the church, and by great
energy and perseverance,, succeeded, with the
blessing of Providence, in saving the church,
The fire got through the roof, but did not burn
very rapidly Oh the outside, as the roof was new
and kept constantly wet The damage is about
ten dollars This church was completed and
dedicated on the 18th of last July, ard its loss
would have been deeply deplored by the COM
munity.

Dubuque on the Water-Line

Upon the receipt of intelligence that the Ma
tional Board OF Trade, recently in session here,
had endorsed the central vatecline, the Mayor
Of Dubuque convened the Council Of that city,
and that body passed resolutions expressing its
qualification and rendering the thanks of the
city to the Board of Trade. The Council fur
thermore, on behalf of themselves and the cit
liens, rendered the Inequalities of Dubuque to
the Board, aud tngltod them to hold their next
annual meeting at that place. THeas matters
were all telegFapkad to the Board just before
the close Of its session.
The deep interest taken by Dubuque la the
central water-line is an example Of the feeling
now spreading in the Northwest. Two years
ago Dubuque was profoundly Indifferent to the
subject; but MIR Monroe, whs resides there,
unfoded its advantages to that part Of the
world, and now even this city is not more thor
oughly impressed with the practical advantages
and national dignity of the enterprise. The
whole Northwest will soon be fully aroused in
its behalf When Boston las was seen in the
recent Board of Trade) discovers its impor-
lance, surely 40 So.aG.unity of the Mississippi
Valley should be blind to the beaeGts it prom

The Ecumenic Council

The general Councils heretofore held have
varied greatly IN the duration of their session
from three months to eighteen years 1t is
supposed the present one will despatch its BUSH
ness In four or five months The Pope is op-
posed to a protracted session.
The Pope has expressed the wish to the
Bishops, who waited on him, that full freedom
Of discussion shall prevail in the Council, and
that every one shah express freely his views
We suppose this is subject to the limitation
that nothing is advanced that has been con-
demned.
There are several vacant Cardinal caps-but
they will not be disposed of until the close of
the sessioa-en9 these will be given to those
who have shown most devotion.
There is talk Of Bull by the Pope. making
arrangements for a conclaye 10 case of his death
during the session of the Council. Without
such provision, delay in the election of a Pope
might occur and possibly schism.-R Richmond

Does the Richmond Wing really believe that
its present course towards the mass Of ths Con-
servatives, who elected Coy. Walker-for with
out their asd he would not have received 5000
votes in the State-and who are every way dis
posed to support had sustain him in the dis
charge of his duties,-is calculated to do any
good whatever? Is this course not rather likely
to ALLEVIATE the Conservative voters Of the State?
The epithets which the Wing is in the habit Of
applying to all who do not follow its plans, do
not disturb much the equanimity of men who
looked upon IS unkind, if not ungrateful, to
say the least of them. Besides, all men do not
reason calmly about such matters-and if their
feelings become excited by ungenerous treat
ment, on the part of those who are placed in
position by their exertions is it not natural that
they should resent it? We speak in all kind
