We are not surprised that the shrewd
Arkell Of the Judge, should
make the offer Of 500, 900 per annum
for the privilege Of putting his adver-
tisement on the government stamps,
but we are surprised to think that tho
Arm Of Arkell & Co. should think that
such an offer could be with propriety
accepted. BY the way, wonder II 1t
pays TO be In partnership with the
presidents son. We would suggest
to Mr.. Arkeil that he get the United
States postmasters to sell the Judge or
work up some scheme to get the paper
adopted az a government organ. When
Time shall be no more, and Truth be
crushed to earth, and The Black Cat
has ceased to NEW, aud The Epoch OF
monumental gall is wholly passed,
The Judge will still be booming on

t5pecial to the Times Democrat1
VICKsBUR0, Dec. 2.-ThIe moenIpe
about l:3O o'clock the fiFo bells rang
out their dread alarm, and resldonts
Of the central and n0Ithoen poeelone OF
the city, reesing ont OF ehsjE houees,
saw that the Oonaagratlon Was . looos 4
ways in the southern part ~ the town.
and most Of them returned q ehelr
beds. In about = quarter OF an 6o0s
after the bells had given tho alarm :
tremendous loud explosion, followed
BY shock that Was felt ID all poeelOus
OF the city, aroused nsaely everybody,
and caused an Intense degree Of flntor-
eat and anxiety as to the cause.
People who knew that o. hre WAS In
progress surmised that one Of the Jlre
engines had bursted, deeming u lm-
possibls that any house in the city
contained sufnclent powder or other
explosive to cause such tremendous
noise or such an earthquAke-Ilkc
shock.
It appears that tho iire was first seen
10 some cars under Q shed OF the a.
and v. road on the south side OF the
track, near the Cherry street crossing.
A slight wind was blowing from tho
southeast, and the flames were soon
communicated to number Of loaded
freight cars on side track north Of the
main track. The box care on tho
north side OF the track were destined
over the Vicksburg, Shreveport and
Pacific road for points In Louisiana,
and were delayed here ON account Of
