States. The credit to the Middle States
exceeds that given all the other States
and Territories, (the Western States ex.
cepled). Seven states-IllinoiS, Ohio,
New York, Kentucky, Virginia, Pennsyl.
vania, and Indiana-arc credited respect
lively with more than the aggregate Of the
i've Eastern States. Illinois and Ohio
combined have larger credit than all
the Middle and Southern States, while
Illinois alone exceeds the Eastern, South.

tories. Two districts in Illinois, the First
and Fifth, arc credited respectively with

amount Of whisky manufactured in sale

revenue in the States of Kentucky and

ALEXANDRIA.

MALICIOUS INCENDIARY.-On Saturday
night, February 9Th, a fiend in human form
set fire to ard destroyed the large barn of
Mr.. Thomas Hill. of Culpeper county, in
Guiding nine valuable horses, a very large
beef nifty barrels of corn, wagon, all the
harness, saddles and brides, q new reaper,
and other implements. Not content with
this fendish qualification OF more fie1dish
nature he again applies the torch. On Tues
day night last Mr.. HIPS family were again
startled by the alarm of fire, this time de-
strOying his carriage house, including his
carriage, buggy and harness; also his ice
house OILED with ice) and hennery. Two
other out buildings caught fire but were eX-
tirgutshed by the efforts of a few servants on
the place. This second act of the incendiary
indicates q purpose TO destroy the dwelling
house, which would doubtless have been ac-
complished but for the sudden changing of
the wind, which was blowing towards the
residence when the fire was first discovered.
Mr.. Hiilhas been in feeble health for some
years, and his condition now, caused by ner-
Vous excitement, causes the serious anxiety
of mis- family and friends as to the result. 4
few days after the burning of the barn ne
gro man was arrested and lodged in jail upon
very strong circumstancial evidence. He was
hailed out TO appear before the next term of
the court. 1t is to be hoped that the villain
may soon becaught and brought to speedy
Justice.
