a remark of Harper's Weekly, viz. That
the alienation of the feeling at the South
should command the attention Of Congress
to the exclusion of all other subjects at the

be removed by quietly ignoring the whole

Since the burning of the Lake House,
about three YEAR ago, no conhagration
has occurred in oar city, equal to that
which, at AN early hoar Tuesday morn
ing, destroyed the newly erected planning
mill of the Burlington Manufacturing Co
The lower story was occupied by Shepard,
Davis a Co, for planning purposes, and
the upper By Matthews y Davis, for
the manufacture Of boxes. cloth boards,
&c This building is situated Just south Of
the paper mill Of the Burlington Paper
Company, in the yard of the Burlington
Manufacturing Company, while the old roll
ling mill building to the north, is used a. a
marble mill and /, where the steam power
employed in the three buildings, originates
A shaft runs from the marble mill through
the paper mill TO the planning mill, and
there Is but little question that the fire was
occasioned by the friction pully connecting
the planning mill with the main shaft, which
was running all night.

Nearly all the testimony to be introduced Is
