FIRE.—The dwelling house of WM. B. John
ston, with all its contents, situated about one
mile from Reedsville, was consumed by fire on
Monday evening last. It is not known how it
originated, but its progress was so rapid, when
first discovered, that the inmates had barely
time to escape. There was an insurance of a
little over §41)0 on the building, which was an
old one. The loss in furniture, &c., is consider
able.
THE WEATHER.—The past week has been one
of the most disagreeable we have had this win
ter. The gale of wind noticed in our last pros
trated the fences in all directions, and did some
ether damage. On Sunday snow fell to the
:epth of five or six inches, since which we have
had rain, hail and snow intermingled with any
amount of mud. The river had risen consider
ablv this morning, and may possibly prevent the
una! from being put in navigable order until
next week.
A DUEL ALMOST. —Col. Jefferson Davis, of
Mississippi, challenged Col. Bissel, a loco mem
ber of the House from Illinois, on the 27th ult.,
in consequence of his remarks in reference to
liie conduct of the Mississippi regiment at the
Battle of Buena Vista. The correspondence
between the parties took place on Friday iast,
but there was an understanding between the
friends of the parties—Gen. Shields, who acted
for Col. Bissel, and Mr. Inge, who acted for
Col. Davis, that ulterior action should be post
poned until Col. Bissel had time to write out
and publish his speech. It appeared in the
Globe that morning and the challenge passed in
toe afternoon. The meeting was to have taken
place on the 28th—weapons, muskets at fifteen
paces ; but by the personal intervention of Pres
ident Taylor, at a late hour in the night, the af
fair was amicably adjusted.
There are a few men in the Locofoco party,
1-. Pennsylvania, says the Harrisburg Telegraph,
who play the game of corruption so boldly that
t iey actually disarm opposition by their open
and avowing disclosure of their degrading senti
ments. We were struck with tbe truth of this
remark a few days ago, when Mr. Porter of
Northampton, in his speech in opposition to the
election of Judges by the people, boldly de
clared that, wiien a mcmbar of the Convention
which formed the present Constitution, he
-named his btother I-ocofoeos in that Conven
t n, that if they went on as they had begun, to
deprive the Governor of his patronage, the Lo
r Toco party in the State of Pennsylvania, would
toon be broken up, and that he desired to re
peat the warning to his brother Locofocos in the
present House of Representatives. Was there
a more bold, yet truthful admission that
tr.e Locofoco party are " held together by the
cohesive power of public plunderßut Mr.
Porter, instead of qualifying hi* language when
'his construction was put upon it, seemed to
glorv and exult in the fact, and made no attempt
whatever to explain away the force of the de-
daration.
Mr. I'orter further declared that the proposed
amendment, or any change in the Constitution,
•tiring the election of Judges to the people,
would hare the effect of giving at least two
thirds of the Judges to the Whig party, and this
was another reason why he opposed it.
The steamer Alabama arrived at New Orleans
en the 26tb uit., from Chagres. She brings G.">

A terrible and disastrous inundation had taken
place at Sacramento City, caused by the ° r "
flowing of the river—a thing that has not hap
pened before to so great an extent for many
s ears. Nearly the entire city was covered with
water. Large numbers of cattle and other pro
perty have been swept awav. The loss is very
heavy, estimated in all at over one million of
dollars. . , ..
Although this calamity has proved exceeding
!v distressing to the citizens, yet it has been
beneficial in other respects. The overflowing
' f the waters ha* washed out immei se quariti
iiewd gold from the earth, where it had before
remained undiscovered. f . hl ,.

Fare on the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Mr. Editor:—The distance from Lew istown to I
Harrisburg, hy the Pennsylvania Railroad, is
out a fraction over GO miles, yet travellers from
this place are compelled to pay SI 90, while at
Hie same lime cards are handed round on which
it is stated that the rate of fare is 3 cents a mile!
: I nder the old method of calculating the charge
would be §I.BO, or if 61 miles, §1.83, and while •
it is a small matter to talk about, yet let all fare i
, alike. Had the Company fixed other rates, no I
| one would complain, hut if the charge is 3 cents
per mile, I should like to see the conductor or
engineer who could figure out §1.90 from this to
! Harrisburg. " AMOS.
