Fire.-Our citizens were aroused
yesterday morning, between II and
1 O'Clock, by the clang of the alarm
bell, and the fearful cry of fire. The
two effective fire companies were
soon on the spot, and found the
Wheelwright shop of Mr.. b. Glatt,
corner of Beauregard and Third
Streets in flames, which were too
far advanced to permit any effort at
their extinguishment. The adjacent
buildings, however, which no doubt
would have caught fire, were all
saved by the exertiOns of our gal
liant firemen, thus giving another
proof Of ther efficiency and the high
place they should hold in the est.
nation of this community.
Mr.. Glatt besides bis shop, lost
all his tools, and We truly sympa
thize with him in his misfortune.

logg and his associates were not elected,
and it can be made to appear that McEnery
was honestly elected; or If the case shall
show that Kellogg was not elected and
McEnery was elected by fraud, in my judg-
ment it will be the clear duty Of Congress
to interfere, and have no doubt Congress
will interfere and order are-election.
THE DUTY OF SUBMISSION.
What is to be done i'm the meantime
You have o summer time and harvest inter-
vening between now and the next session
of Congress. Kellogg and his associates
are recognized by the President of the
United States as the de fdcfo executive an
legislative branches of the State govern
ment. They are in possession and exercis-
ing the functions of those departments.
They will be supported by the President OF
the United States with the entire army OF
the Union if necessary until Congress shall
interfere. The resistance to Kellogg's gov
eminent, therefore, is, or very soon will be
il persisted in, resistance 10 the govern
ment of the United States Right or wrong
elected OF usurping, it is by far better tina,
the Kellogg government should be re.
spected and obeyed until it can be regu.
lary put aside than that blood should
drench your soil and your agriculture, YOU
commerce, and the vast interests of youI
State be destroyed by strife.
To you who believe that Kellogg was not
elected: to yon who believe that the decision
of Judge Durell was an outrage ON all law
and judicial propriety, as believe, basini
my opinion upon the case as il was present
ed to the committee, this necessity of sub
mission and obedience is. as confess
almighty provoking. But it is the case o
a man compelled tosubmit to the erroneous
decision of the court below until som,
| higher authority can reverse it. and is ia
better than to attempt to redress errors o
a court of justice by violence and assassi
nation.

Compromisc on a New Base

We understand that some of the parties
claiming parish offices under the fusion fas
CO. have applied to Others holding Office un--
der commissions from the de iacto State
government, for positions under them, thus
acknowledging not only racitly, hut open
~ aud urequivoeably the weakness,
end utter hopelessness of the pre-
tentions, which have gone 80 far to
wards producing tho state of uncertainty
and distrust, which has brought this COM
munity, ss well as Others in the State to
such an Unparalleled condition of embar.
ressment and distress. Truth is omnipotent

which will we think again be demonstrate

that they have not been reduced by the

that their motto ia.
MI pEsFERANDUM.
They know that food and raiment sill
wust have, and that as the means Of obtain
ing those indispensables are so scarce, those
who have it will naturally, try to make it
% far as possible and therefore they
point out the place where such an endmay
be obtained. and only ask an opportunity
to prove it. Their advertisement promises
much, and there is no reason why they
should not perform, all they promise, as they
lave the goods, and want to exchange
them for money, on the best terms for the
buyer ever offered in Alexandria.

weather for the crops of almost every de.

may yet alter for the better. On high oil
well drained land, the crops of all kinds
are toicrably fair. 3'
