FIRE IN HAsEL STREET.-On Yesterday
morning, at about 4 o'clock, a fire was dis
covered in the auction and commission
house of Campbell Knox & Co., Hasel
street. next South of the store of Strauss &
Vance, at the corner of Meeting, which
spread with great rapidity. consuming the
building and its entire contents. The
wooden stables of Richard McHunnv. n
thrifty colored man, next door, were also
consumed; fortunately he saved his live
stock and carriages, although he lost all his
harness. He owned the property, which
was uninsured. The fire burned through
to the rear of Meeting street, damaging
very materially the back of the store lately
occupied by Holmes & Calder, in which Mr..
William L. Webb, just recovering from a
hre, was temporarily storing q portion of
his stock OF crockery, which was damaged
The building occupied by Campbell, Knox
" Co.. and the one on Meeting street burnt
and damaged by water, were the property
of Messrs. Spoford and Hatch, the former
Of New York, and the latter Of this city; on
them there is an insurance of $1,000 in
the agency of Captain s. Y. Tupper The
stock of Campbell, Knox & Co., is insured
In the same agency for Sd, 900 and the Office
fixtures In the agency of H. B. Cakes for
S225. They saved portion of their books
which were found to be charred on openinp
the safe
The fire is believed to have been the act
OF lncendiarism. Mr. F. R. Hagood, who
slept above the store, says that he was
awakened by sitting sensation, and that
on getting out of bed, ne found the floor
was very warm. He went to the window
and looked out and saw reflection of the
fire. He gave the alarm for some time and
had narrow escape, losing even his clothes.
These same pieces of property have been
destroyed by fire no less than three times.

The Tennessee State Journal, Stokes
new organ, asks with much feeling and
carnestncss: ''t Sc ~
Can the people ofTennessee trust the
flattering promises of men who have
violated every former pledge; rcnounc-
ed every principle they advocated en-
bczzled every dollar of the public mo-
ney upon which they could lay their
hands; banktupted the State and tar
nished the fair name and credit of Ten
nessee, and inaugurated a system of
tyranny and corruption that makes the
national party blush to learn that they
claim Kindred with it?
Considering the fact that the organ is
talking about its own party-about the
men with whom its editors have all
along been associated, the question is
somewhat suggestive.

OF East Tennessee with ten rthousand

Mountain he will never be heard of

who may win; but it will do no harm
to state the probabilities and prevent
our Radical friends from being misled.
