On motion Of General VIM. L. Burt detail
of citizens Was authorized to take charge Of all
the streets leading to the fire, and have exclu-
sive control Of them, with assistance Of the po-
1ice with authority to take any action they see
fit in the emergency.
The detail consisted of General Burt, AID
erman jerks, Colonel Shepard, and
other wen-known citizens, and each one
has control Of the nteraecting streets, with full
liberty to use powder in the stoppage OF the
devouring element, in case they should consider
it expedient, and with the consent Of the Chief
Engineer Of the Fire Department..
It was also authorized that in case Of neces-
sity, the military should be called out.
At the above meeting his Honor, Mayor Cas-
ton, expressed lis perfect willingness to call out
the militia to relieve the policemen, and he even
desired to issue the order at o'clock this morn
ing, but as none Of the militia officers present
knew how their men could be notified before
to-day Sunday, the matter WAS held in abey-
ance, and it is very much more than probable
they will have to go on duty this forenoon.
The report Of the buildings blown up, lndi-
the fire, was heard at minutes past 5 o'clock,
and was most welcome sound, for it betokened
fearless, honest effort to save Boston from
Chicagos fate. Three discharges were made in
. block on Deyonshire street, and these
without any apparent benefit, for
the flames jumped oyer the, gap almost
instantly. The building was close to the fire,
and unless the blocks mora distant are speedily
prostrated, the effect will, Of course, be simply
nothing. The trains we're laid in Federal street,
about 3 o'clock, and the street Immediately
cleared for action. At 3:45 O'Clock this morning,

The Narragansett line steamer Bristol
ran down a bark just before reaching
Newport, r. l., at 4 o'clock Saturday
morning. The bark had just arrived
from Dublin with iron. Her crew, six
teen in number, were rescued, saving
only their clothes. The bark sunk
shortly after the collision. The captain
of the Bristol soon discovered that she
leaked at an alarming rate and deter
mined to ground her to prevent
loss of life. She was run
aground at Coal Mine Flats, four
miles from shore, in a sinking condi-
ton. There were eight hundred pas
sengers aboard. The steamer Canon
was dispatched to their assistance. The
Bristol proved to be badly injured, there
being large hole in her hull. All the
crew and passengers were saved. The
vessel is up to her guards in water. A.
G.. Simmons, the Captain Of the boat,
arrived at Fall River, Massachusetts,,
Saturday morning. lie reports the
damage inconsiderable, but not knowing
the extent of the damage, ordered the
boat to be run ashore. She lies on the
beach six miles below Fall River.
The steamer Bristol first commenced
running with her sister boat, the Provi'
dence, in June, 1865, having been

CHICAGO, ILL, August ii. Mr..
Forman McWealthy, an esteemed
citizen of Joliet, Illinois, came

WASHINGTON, August ll..;Yesterday

Boone eCOunty-Camden Stock on the
Rise.

One OF the largest meetings ever held
in Boone county was that at Peytona
last Saturday. The very large crowd
there gathered was ably addressed by
Messrs. A. W. Byrne, E. Ward and W..
T. Burdett, in favor Of the new Consti-
tuition and the STATE ticket. Mr.. Fitz-
hugh was rendered an hours time in
which to present the claims of Gov
ernor Jacob, and after working himself
into a very violent and frothy passion
about dogs, collars and rings failed
TO elicit single cheer from the audi.
ence, or to produce any other impress
sion then that Governor Jacobs apol-
oyv was of the feeblest description. All
of the other speeches were enthusiasts
tically received, particularly that of Mr..
Burdett, who in replying to Mr.. Fitz.
hugh, kept the audienc in perfect up
roar of applause. The day was a glo-
rious one for the Democracy and will
have its effect. Notwithstanding the
Jacobin stories to the contrary, Boone
is all right for the regular ticket. Such
men as Meadows, Stollings, Pate Sam
uels, and others have gone heartily to
work for Camden and the new Consti-
tuition. Boone will give to both a
splendid majority.-C0urisr.

why we did not feel sorry at the can
didacy OF Captain Criswell, but were
glad of it, as giving US an opportunity
OF voting for one in perfect accord with
US politically. The Intslhgencsr being
the prime mover in trying TO make
Republicans run one wing Of the Dem
ocratic party, l have scanned it closely
to find some reason for this mysterious
strategy" and find this, "only this and
nothing more" that Davis is opposed to
the proposed new Constitution and that
we must vote for him in order to defeat
the Constitution ring" Well, if we
must vote for Davis on this account
what reason shall we give for support
ing Governor Jacob, another Democrat,
who is in favor Of the neD Constitution 7
That is q conundrum, Mr.. Editor, |
would like you to answer.
Now, let us look at the chances OF a
regular Republican candidate. In yes
terday mornings Intelligeneer you say,
edi,orially, that "Mr. Davis has pow
erful hold on the Democrats OF the
district and will receive a very large
Democratic support at the coming elec-
ton" If it be true that the Demo-
cratic vote will be divided between
Davis and Wilson, does it not follow
that the Republicans now have . better
chance to elect their Congressman than
they will ever have in the future? That
is another conundrum for you men who
display such remarkable strategy" 10
electing Democrats to office. We ad-
wise you, gentlemen, before attempting
to mould the Republican party "as clay
in the hands Of the potter" to place not
your dependence on little back-room
but 90 out among the people,
mingle with the voters and learn their
wishes and sentiments.
Respectfully, j. G. DURAN.

Captain CrisweII, the Republican
Candidate for Congress-.

On Friday morning wrote the fol-
lowing communication, intended for the
readers Of the Intelhgsncsr. but as it does
not appear to suit the views Of the little
clique who are now attempting to run
the Republican party in this State, it
was refused space in that paper. | hope,
Mr.. Editor, ] do not presume too much
in asking it a place in the REGISTER.

WHEELING, August 9.
Editors of the Intelligenoer
Will you allow me space to briefly
notice communication in this morn
ing's IntelHgeneer in regard to the an
nouncement of Captain Criswell as
candidate for Congress from this Dis
trict. Why the writer, being a Repub-
lican, should feel sorry" at this event
ia beyond my comprehension. Turning
from this communication to the edto-
rial columns OF your paper, expected
to find favorable mention Of Captain
Criswell, but was astonished to find
bitter attack on that gentleman and an
article in the interest of J. J. Davis, the
Democrat. am one OF those Repub>
licans who believe that our party should
have held a Convention and regularly
nominated q candidate for Congress,
but it having failed in this, l think the
announcement of Captain Criswell per
fectlv legitimate and one that will COM
mand the support of every true Repub-
lican. The strategy evinced in Re
publicans voting for one Democrat in
order to defeat another is. not very clear
to the rank and file Of the party, and
particularly when the Democrat is of
the virulent type of John J. Davis. 1t
is about time that'you gentlemen, who
prevented . Congressional Convention
and who are trying, as I think, to run
the party in the interest OF the Demo.
Gratis, should understand that we "oom>
mon" Republicans will not vote for
Davis under any circumstances. Let
us glance at this man for whom you
ask our votes. Search the State over
and q more rabid, loud-mouthed, pro-
slavery Democrat could not be found.
What characterizes him from other
Democrats ID his ultraism. He opposes
everything Republican-Grant, the
amendments to the Constitution. Gree
ley, because be is Republican; in fact
everything connected with the Republi'
can party, he repudistes and spits upon.
But strategy, my boy" Anything to
beat Wilson" But some OF US ask,
as Nasty might say, why not Anything
to beat DavisT They are both Demo.
Gratis, and if there be any difference it is
in favor of Wilson, as being the most
conservative of the two. The mem.
bers Of our party Who care more fol
principle than Office don't want either
Of these men, and that is one reason

creted in some polluted corner OF the
dark cell, where with hateful treachery
he is now concocting his conspi-acies
against the Republican party and
rioting in ease upon the spoils
received as the price OF his per-
fidy. Before l made my an
noupcement | was satisfied that the
IatelGgencer was sold 10 Mr.. Davis. but
I did not know that Hall had insured
his election or was to be q partner in
the spoils OF his office. Such, however
seems to be the case, for the zeal he
manifests in the cause OF Davis must
proceed from a money consideration, as
he has never been moved into such
freaks by devotion to principle.
"Is it not known to all readers ofthe
IaelEgencer that while it is pro-
iessedly Republican paper, it has been
and is now doing the Republican party
more harm than any organ in the
State. 1t has been and is now traitor
in the camp, pretending to be Repub-
lican but anything for money. The
little puppy who controls it, because his
look, in the opinion Of General Grant
was not sufficiently honest to secure
him the Wheeling Postofice, has
been the skulking and treacherous ene-
my Of the Republican party ever since.
"He il moved by sordid gain, and not
by principle, and hesitates not to carry
out his lackey purposes to condescend to
the mesnest lying. His coarse breed
ing allowed him to publish the name
of the gentleman who did me the kind
ness to take my announcement to the
office. | requested it and Mr.. Ewing
did 1T as a personal favor | did not
consider it private property when |
delivered it to him; and although did
not request him to show it at the REG
IsrER office, nor any other place, still,
as it was a public announcement (as /
gave Mr.. Ewing to understaud), | cared
but little who it was shown to. | can
only say that l regret being the remote
cause of bringing Mr.. Ewings name
before the public in connection with
this matter"
We must say again that we are sorry
we are not permitted to publish all
these things, because in his address ITO
the Republican Voters OF the First
Congressional District" Mr.. CRIswELL
told many wholesome truths and used
some rather spicy sentences. lie is a
vigorous writer, and his words Strike
from the shoulder just as we are sure
the Captain would when confronted by
an opponent who had provoked his
wrath. He explains very fully the
circumstances under which we were
permitted to see his card of announce
inert as an independent candidate before
it. publication in the Latslligencer, and
exonerates Mr.. EWING from any CEN
sure in relation to the affair We only
regret that we cannot make all these
things public and show how, in the
opinion OF one Of the most worthy,
most respected and most consistent
Republicans in the State, the party is
being daily betrayed by pretended
friends. Captain CRIswELL is a man
whose personal bravery and devotion
to principle cannot be successfully i'm
pugned. and although he has with
drawn from the canvass in compliance
with the piteous supplications OF few
scurvy politicians his declination will
be received with more pleasure by the
Democrats Of the District than the
Republicans.
