"GRACE GREENwooD" has seen fit to offer
some amends for her reflections in what she
calls her humorous little sketch " of her
visit to this State, which may or may not be
satisfactory to others than herself We think
she has forgotten the amount of attention she
did receive,-but the least said the soonest
mended, and if there had been nothing said
there would have been nething to mend. See
her letter elsewhere.

FIRE AT NEWARK. About three o'clock
Friday morning, a fire broke out in the store.

Newark, Del, which caused its entire destruc-
ton, as well az that Of dwelling adjoining.
Both were frame structures, owned by John
Miller, the Post Master Of the town, who liy.
ed IN one OF them, and occupied portion of
the other as the Post Office, the greater part
Of 1t being leased to Mr.. Richardson, as store.
The whole stock Of store goods, aud the letters,
mail bags, and other post office matter, were
completely y destroyed, together with valuable
papers belonging to Mr.. Miller. The building
immediately adjoining was the Newark Bank,
the dwelling part of which is occupied as a
young ladies' seminary by Miss Chamberlain.
This building was Of brick, or it would certain
ly have been burned, and it was saved with
much difficulty. Miss Chamberlain premises
were considerably damaged by water. The
fire IS supposed to have been caused by the ex.
plosion ofa coaoil lamp which was left burn
ing IN the store, though this is not certain.
Mr. Richardson's loss on his store good. is es.
tlmated at S4,500, Of which S. 900 is insured.

ton. On general principles Dominica ought
TO be a good Investment, il it does not cost
too much money, and II it proves possible TO
reorganize her industry on productive basis.
II is easy to fascinate American imaginations
with the idea that we are about TO get for a
mere song tropical plantations on which all
the coffee and sugar We consume can
easily be raised, while rich mines abound in
their immediate vicinity aud magnificent
barbor skirts this terrestrial paradise; and
there can be no doubt that If the natural re-
sources of Dominica were put TO the best
possible uses, she would prove an invaluable
gem. The nation already owns immense
bodies of semi-tropioal land, however. which
is capable of growing unlimited quantities Of
cotton, corn, sugar-cane, and pine forests,
and the late exposure of Southern pro-
clivities to rebellion is not we'll calculated
to increase the national fervor for new
Southern acquisitions: so it is well for Con-
gress to give full consideration to the Do
minican project before the bargain is finally
closed. All the leading European nations
have dabbled in West India possessions, but
none Of them have extracted national profit
from that quarter by any other agencies than
slave or coolie labor. Spain draws wealth
from Cuba by series of pinchiDg eKactions
which our Government would not attempt to
initiate Monarchies may increase the num-
Der and extent of their colonies indefinitely,
and it matters little in what part of the globe
they are located, but before this republic at
tempts any analogous experiment she should
weigh we'll all costs aud contingencies.
The character of the Commissioners ap-
pointed by the President is generally re-
garded as q guarantee that full aud authentic
information will be furnished to Congress
before the annexation scheme is definitely
disposed of; and the public are anxiously
looking forward to their report Their con
demnation will kill the scheme; a division OF
opinion among them will weaken it; while no
matter how strongly they endorse it, it will
still encounter the bitter opposition of the
Democracy and the sntagouism of portion
of the Republicans; 80 that all the energy
and influence of the administration will be
needed to ensure the triumph Of its pct pro.
ject.
In craftsmanship it is difficult thing TO
take admirable care of all the important in
terests of existing territory at moment
when valuable acquisitions are being made,
and if one of these objects is to be subordi-
nate to the other it il manifestly better to
sacrifice the second rather thar the first. If,
however, Congress is fully convinced that
Grant is governing the country in an admira-
bic fashion, this opinion will furnish a fair
reason for extending the blessings of his
benign rule over the downcast Dominicans,
in addition to that based on the material re-
sources of the proposed acquisition.
