PHILADELPHIA, Sept. ia destructive

in the five story brick building at 13l Mar

factory at No. 139, and Wise 4 Bailey's belt
factory at No. Ill Market street, were in
great danger of destruction. The row of
stores to the east was in less peril. The
flames spread so rapidly, however. that q
second alarm was sent out. The small row
OF dwelling houses in Church street ienited
about 2 o'clock in spite of the efforts of the
iTemen. More damage was done to the
rear Of the Market street block than TO the
fronts Of the buildings. Coates & b. g wool
warerooms, in the rear of Thompson, Fry
" Co.'S. atore, was greatly damaged by fire
and water. About 3 o'clock, while num-
Der OF firemen were playing water on the
flames ct this point, the walls and roof of
the grocery warehouse fell with a cresh,
nearly huryiug the fremen In the ruins. At
2:25 o'clock the fire was practically under
control. The loss on Thompson, Fry &
Co.'S. building and stock will be total. The
fire is supposed to have been caused by an
explosion OF coal oil. Schopach's saloon, On
Church street, was damaged by the fall of
the rear wall OF the burning building. 1t is
estimated now that the total loss will
amount TO $50, 900.

Gently received from the General, says:
"My first recollection of your presence
in Richmond during the session Of the
Legislature Of which l was member
was in the interest Of the railroad bill,
known as the Consolidation Bill"
During its consideration in the Senate,
l felt it to be my representative duty to
offer an amendment, tho object of which
was TO protect the States interest in the
roads proposed to be consolidated-tha
interest amounting, in the aggregate, to
about six million dollars-by providing
that the new company should pay 10 the
State that amount in her bonds, at face
value; my object being To preserve the
assets of the State and to apply them, hon
estly, to the redemption and payment of
her debt. The effect of this amendment,
had it been adopted, would have been to
retire six million of Virginia bonds, and to
extent. I earnestly supported this amend.

When the funding bill was under considera-
ton in the Senate did every thing could
to defeat its passage, being satisfied that the
Slate would be unable to comply with its
provisions, and that better terms could be
obtained from the creditors. Our relations
being such as hereinbefore indicated, OF
course you did not approach me on the SUBJ

with you in relation TO the matter; but in
the active opposition which / made to its
passage was impressed with the belief that
you were not unfavorabe to The passage of
the bill, ifnot actively engaged in its favor,
because you thought it would strengthen
the credit Of the State abroad, and better
enable you to negotiate loan and place

card which led to The Martinsvile street
fight between the Terrys and Spencers, WAS
tried yesterday for killing J. X Terry and

feeling in the county against Spencer's party
is very strong.
A few nights ago the large barn, grauary
and several outhouses on the farm Of Capt.

declares the act repugnant to the State Con-
stitution and null and void, aud the action
Of the Board of Education taken under it
null and void and of no avail. A peremp-
tory .mandamus is ordered requiring the

ALEX ANDRIA-.
FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER II.

A MAN man may lose several or many
friends and still be right, but when he loses
all Of them the proof is conclusive that the
fault lies with him and not with them, and
that there must be something radically
wrong with him, for in the nature of things
it is impossible that all of his friends should
become his enemies without good and suf-
iicient reason. Such has been the case with
General Malone. Of all his political friends,
his pet, Mr.. John Wise, is the only one who
remains loyal, and who continues to cry
out, master, lead on, I'll follow thee ~
OF course he has no friends among the dem.
ocrats. But among his own party, all of his
once trusted jackmen, with the single excep-
ton referred to, have turned against him,
even the very men who are indebted to him
for all the promotion they ever received,
such for instance ss Cameron, Riddleberger
and Brady, the last of whom has just ex-
posed his ridiculously amusing failure to OBJ
tain congressional nomination. In the ex-
pressive language of the street boys, the
General must be "a bad egg"

NORTHERN NEWSPAPERS say 1.-The colored
men Of New England have demanded Wi
der recognition in business and politics"
This seems strange in view of the fact that
newspapers printed in the same section are
eternally prating about the narrow recogni'
ton the colored men of the South receive.
Colored men represent the South in both
the nationa! and State legislatures, which is
about as wide range of political recogni'
ton as their white fellow citizens receive
and nothing ia more common in all parts Of
the South than colored men whose prosper
ity shows that the only things their race
need to secure them as wide business recog-
milton as they may desire are ordinary po-
likeness, industry and economy.
