Near the platform was a poor German, suf fering excruciating pain. Ho could not talk English, and no one from the " fatherland" had found him. Ilis case too, it is feared, is hopeless. On the opposite side are three girls—all young and beautiful, but with the cold hand f death already upon them. Many others were there who alone would excite the sympathy of those who saw them. A large room on one corner of the hall had been set apart as a depository for the bodies of the dead, and this was literally covered with mangled corpses. Young men, and those past the meridian of life, women and young girls, lay there—a ghastly sight to be hold. 1 hey lay as they had been recovered from the ruins—some covered with blood, and oth ers completely disfigured. Another room be low also contained a number of bodies, and others were removed as their friends claimed them. A committee of twenty five are canvassing the boarding houses of the city to ascertain the number and the names of all who are missing. At the latest accounts dead bodies were continually taken from the smoking ru ins. Previous to the fire, two sisters were togeth er and comparatively unhurt. They would have been rescued. "Hearing the roar of the flames they exclaimed, 11 Oh God! we have got to die." Another woman shrieked out piteouslv that the fire was burning her hair, but the flames soon silenced her. Mr. Palmer, an overseer, cut his throat lest he should he burned alive. Mr. Branch told liis friends who were digging for him, that he stiould resort to the same means to escape the tortures of the fire. He was persuaded to desist, and fortunately was rescued. The awful death of which some died bv toe fire was fearfully attested by their baked and blackened forms when taken out-_ n ot in any thing like those of human beings. IN'C'bEjfTS, Among the painful incidents of this dreadful ".'.ght, is the following, related bv one of the fire engineers: When the fire was beginning to rage, and before it had sti fled the cries and groans of those in the ru ins, he, with others forced his way against the smoke and flame, to try and rescue some ol those whoso voices he could hear. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of three per tons, imprisoned by u crumbled partition— two men and a woman. lie even caught one of tho men by the hand, and hoped to draw him out, but the crackling of the flames, around him, and the warning voice of an of ficer, impelled him reluctantly to desist, and by a timely retreat to save his own life. Nei ther of the three persons appeared injured at all, and they must have literally roasted alive. As a relief to this saddening narrative, may be mentioned the fortunate escape of one of the female operatives by a coolness which done her infinite credit. She was in the sth story, in a part of the building, when, hav ing but a moment's warning of the fall of the building, she sprang to the elevator. She clasped firmly hold of one of the hoist ing ropes and slid rapidly and safely down its length, through five stories, emerging from the building just in season to escape destruc 'iou. Her name is Olive Bridges, and she bails from Calais, Me. i. hrough the whole night she was at the City Hall, passing like an angel of mercy among the couches of the sufferers, anticipa ting every want, relieving pain as far as she was able to do so, and breathing words of consolation and comfort to the wounded and dying. Among the numerous recorded cases of suffering, it may not be amiss to mention one ola different character. In onoof the board ing houses, opposito to the mills, a family were collected, mourning the loss of a lady who worked in the mills, when she made her appearance, shouting, "I am alivo." She was but slightly injured. Singular to relate, it was currently repor ted and generally believed, that a man was rescued from the ruins at 11 o'clock this fore noon, only slightly injured. If this were so, it was a most miraculous preservation. FURTHER PARTICULARS. LAWRENCE. Jan. 13.—An immense crowd of people still surround the scene of the late j disaster, and the work of clearing away the j ruins still go on. But three or four bodies have been taken frem the ruins since yester day, though it is positively known that there ! are still more beneath the pile of rubbish. All the bodies recovered, with the exception of four or five, have been recognized and ta ken away by friends. The funerals of some i of them will take place to day. Those bod ies which are still remaining at the City llall, will be kept as long as possible for ideutitica- ' tion. The greatest attention is paid to the ' wounded, aud a number of physicians and nurses from the neighboring cities have ar rived to relieve those who have been on dutv i since the falling of the building. The ladies of this city are unceasing in their attentions to the wounded, and whenever assistance is needed, some one of them is to be found. Efforts wero made to throw down the remain dor of tho wall, which is still standing, and which threatens to fall at any moment. Croat numbers of the operatives who ! were in the mills at the time of the accident tied on the first alarm, and so escaped un- I harmed, their safety not being known until tho city was canvassed, which accounts for tho difference between the number first re ported as among the sufferers and the actual number. l'he number of people from other places visiting the ruins cannot be less than thirtv thousand. It is reported that many thieves and pickpockets are mixed in the crowd ; and some of them have already been at work upon tho pockets of spectators. Quite a number of policemen from other cities have rendered valuable service in watching these customers. Among the visitors were some turbulent char acters, with less susceptibility than brutes, who wore unaffected by the scones in which the dead and mutilated of their own species were conspicuous. These professional row dies came to gratify their morbid curiosity, and then to have a time. A large majority of the operatives employ ed in the mill were foreigners, principally Scotch and Irish. Most of the American girls engaged were employed in the dressing room, and but few of them were killed. The hair breadth escapes, and remarkable preservations of those rescued, continues the general theme of conversation, and the preservation of many was indeed miraculous. A large amount of money has beon receiv ed already from various charitable associations and private individuals for the benefit of the sutferors. More worthy objects of charity could not be found than these poor workmen aud women, who arc by this catastrophe de prived of the means of earning a living, to say nothing of their losing their friends and relatives, or suffering from bodily injuries of' every description. INCIDENTS. One of the hands employed in the Duck !. . i Mill, which is the next building towards the east, happened to be looking out of the win- , dow at the time, and saye that the first thing that he noticed was what appeared to be a | squeezing out of a piece of brick work at the bottom of the southeast corner, about 15 feet j in height and six or eight feet on each side. ' This corner of the building fell first, and the i floors, falling upon one another and crushing in, successively fell with a wave in the direc- ! rection towards the canal. The time occupied in falling was just about one minute. The ! time was about ten minutes before 5 o'clock. ! To persons in the city the noise resembled that of an earthquake at first, and afterwards as it is described, that of a team loaded with : j iron passing over the pavement. The wall t j next to the Washington Mills remained stand- I i ing about one story in height, until the fire | broke out, and most of the occupants of the j | weaving room, which was on the lower story, j i escaped being crushed by the protection thus ' afforded. They were rescued through the j > windows. One ycung woman, 20 years of age, who I was at work in the second story, heard the crash of a portion of the building, and saw t portions of it tumbling down. She immedi -1 ately started in au opposite direction, but be fore she reached this point the walls were ! crumbling, and threatened instant death. Almost panic-stricken, she rushed to the side | door and was just emerging to the entry when | that was crumbled in. She recollected noth ; ing more than getting through a window iud j leaping to the ground, where she wa® uncon scious and much wounded. She waß taken to her boarding house, as \' us supposed, in a dying condition. Th;# happily proved a mis take. It was a paroxysm of fright. She re covered dur- lU g th e evening, and on W'ednes- I day w; l3 sufficiently well to stand iu the door -1 Tvay of her boarding house. Another young woman, also about 20, es caped an awful death. Unapprised of the \ fall of the building until the terrible catas trophe itself came upon her, she was at work in tho third story. She only knows that the i whole flooring abovo her was precipitated upon that on which she stood, accompanied by a terrific noise. She was crushod beneath some machinery near which she was at work, her head being passed against a beam, seem ing, as she described it, as if her head would " split iu two at every moment." Her limbs were forced in one direction, her arms in an other. But one arm could be used at all. Every second the heavy weight seemed to be settling closer and closer upon her. She saw nothing but death awaiting her. Iler feel ings were those of the most agonizing kind. She said that she prayed God that she might be delivered from impending death. Hardly had she ceased uttering this pray er than the falling of a wall in a distant por tion of the mill released her from the immi nent peril about her. With a presence of mind that exhibited genuine heroism she struggled amid danger and death, and in time reached a point of safety. This was af- ; ter being in the ruins for upwards of an hour. She was, however, more injured than was first supposed, as is evident from her inabil ity not only to leave her bed, but hardly turn her body, iler physician apprehends some internal injury of a serious nature. She con versed with difficulty. A young man who was taken from the ruins after a confinement of some five hours, says his feelings were of the most paiuful and indescribable nature. The groans of the wounded and dying met his ear at every mo ment. The shouts of the people without mingled with the terrible sounds within. W lien released, such had been the pressure upon his person, that he was nearly uncon scious. lie never expected to get out alive, aud it is a miracle that he did. A maiden lady, about 38, who worked in the upper (dressing) room, was precipitated to the ruins (or with them) below, and BUS tained no particular injury, ller escape is most extraordinary. She came along timbers, portions of the roof, bricks, machinery, &e., but was unharmed. It was one of the most wonderful of all escapes of this terrible trag edy. It is related by a gentleman who was early on the spot that at one point of the ruins he distinguished a female voiee crying in distress, and soon another voice answered, "Is that you, Lizzy? Are you hurt?" The reply was anotiier groan, and an appeal to God's mercy in her behalf, Buth these girls were afterwards rescued. A young girl was released just before the flames burst forth, and in answer to a ques tion, stated that she was unhurt. It after wards appeared that her right arm was badly broken near the wrist; but in the excitement of the moment and in the joy of deliverance from a dreadful death, she had not noticed the hurt. One woman was found her head jammed be tween two heavy beams, and pressed so that it was not thicker than the thickness of a hand. It was a sickening sight. One young girl, confined in a narrow hole, surrounded Uy broken machinery and ragged timber and boards, succeeded in crawling out into the open air, but when she emerged from the ruins she had scarcely an article of cloth ing on her person. Shortly before the fire broke out, and while there were thousands of persons exerting themselves to their utmost to save human hie and extricate the dead, a little girl was discovered by a party at work in one part of the ruins. She lay upon her back ; a large bar of iron, one ot tho iron columns, was thrown over her that it was impossible for her to move; besides, she had her arms pin ioned by some of the machinery wiring that had got wound around them. Her face was badly lacerated, and the human individuals, saddened by the sight around them, proceed ed to extricate the supposed corpse. After repeated trials at the bar of iron, without be ing able to move it of?', a stalwart man, in passing by, stooped and easily lifting the bar laid it to one side. The surprise of the par ty, on finding the little girl alive, and not tatally injured, may be imagined, but not described. She had lain between some of the bricks and rubbish, so that but little of the floor and falling iron had come upon her. A husband was seen anxiously searching the promiscuous wreck for his'wife. The search was long and untiring. Every little nook was carefully examined, and finally the lost one was found. In turning over some of the rooliug. in a pile of rubbish, she was dis oovered, closely embedded among brick, iron, splinters of wood, &c. It required some time to clear it away, and when once it was found the husband took the supposed lifeless body away. Before he reached' homo tho lady re covered consciousness, and with the exception of a few slight injuries, is probablv as well as ever. Of the five overseers of the different dinart- D-n* 1 *? but one, Mr. Branch, was killed. The other four—Messrs. Tatterson. .Nevins, Clover and Shove—were fortunate in escaping uninjured. But a few moments be fore the falling of the building. Mr. Chase, the Agent of the Company, Mr. Clark, the Clerk, &Dd several of the overseen*, wore to- gether in the weave room. Mr. Chase all at once noted something unusual and heard a cracking sound, when, almost instinctively, he started for the door, the only available mode of egress. This door, which it had been the practice of keeping fastened, was opened by a boy just as Mr. Chase and his compan ions reached it, and the party had just time to get half a dozen feet from the wall, when it fell. Shortly after this, a little girl appeared in the window of the northwest corner of the building which was standing, and jumped out. She was caught by some gentlemen, and sustained no injury. A brother and sister—Robert and Mary Moore—employed in the weave-room, were buried in the falling mass. They say the whole affair passed off so quiekly that they hardly knew what happened. The first inti mation that they had of it was a crash over head, and then a trembling of the building. Instinctively they both laid flat upon the floor, and both came out of the ruins safe and sound. | THE GAZETTE.

Proceeding's of Congress. Mr. Morris, of Pennsylvania, took oc casion, on Tuesday, to make a brief state ment in the presence of, and standing near, Mr. Sherman, which was a virtual disclaim er, on the part of the latter gentleman, of any intention of endorsing such sentiments in the Helper book as are contained in the extracts that have been published from it. Mr. M., by permission of Mr. Edwards, who had the floor, rose and said : " I wish to say to the gentleman from Al abama (Mr. Huston) and the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Leake), and to all gentlemen who desire to put such questions [as they had put,] that it 1 believed fur one moment that John Sherman approbated such ideas and measures as are recommended in those offensive extracts which have been read from the Clerk's Clerk's desk at various times, I never would have voted for him. It is because I know that he regards with the utmost horror every species of encouragement to servile insurrection and violence in the Southern States; it is because I know he deprecates the disturbance of the peace and order of society in the South, by arraying the slaveholder against the non slaveholder, that I have voted for him. It is because 1 know that he deprecates all schemes and all measures having an anarchial and revolutionary tendency in the slave States, and all unconstitutional aggressions on the vested rights of the South, such as have been recommended in these extracts, that I have vottd for him ; aud I will rceall my vote if that gentleman, now present, shall negate what 1 say." * Oliver Oldschool, the correspondent of the Daily News, in noticing these remarks, says he has " no doubt that, if the menac ing resolutions presented by Clark of Mis souri, were withdrawn, the gentleman from Ohio would tlieu, without compromising his dignity on this floor, denounce such sentiments. This language was uttered in the presence and hearing, and, I may ven ture to say, by the authority of Mr. Sher man." The last ballot was as follows : THIRTV-TIIIKD lIAU.OT.

My Dear Hearers—Have you paid your Pew Rents ? If you have not, open your heart first, then your purse, go and pay it, and after that sin no more. Perhaps you are curious to know how I eamo to pay mine son>e years ago, and why I have been punctual ever since as young, middle-aged and perhaps old ladies, are to their neighbors' bonnets and dresses. Well, I will tell you. Mrs. Winkle •and 1 were setting in our coxy room one win ter's night some years ago ; a bright fire was burning in the stove, imparting a cheerful temperature, though outside the window it was cold and cheerless, with fitful gusts of wind which moaned round the corners as though tho dark Spirit of Kvil were abroad. M rs. Winkle had not been in the pleasantest humor during the day, for in answer to a de mand for a new dress 1 hud for tho fortieth time, perhaps, said, "I can't afford it." Well, there she sat more than an hour, rooking her self and looking straight into the fire, but not a word did she speak. Imagining for my part that the dress was uppermost in her mind, 1 did not disturb her reverie, for be it known that Mrs. W T . occasionally gets her dutch up and gives your humble servant what used to be termed a " Caudle Lecture"— whether for justifiable cause this deponent wili not here say, not considering it public or teachers business. There however she sat, rocked aud looked, 1 all the time supposing a storm was brewing within as old Boreas was brewing one without; but bless her gentle heart it afterwards appeared that she was pondering over quite a different subject, for she suddenly startled me with the question, " Mr. Winkle, have yon paid your pew rent f" This was such an unlooked for subject that I fairly bounced off the chair, and after my un just suspicions as to her cogitations felt small enough to creep through a keyhole, but I managed to answer, "No, mam." The truth is, I doubt whether pow rents had been a mat ter of consideration in my mind at all at any time, or if it did get in it must as speedily have got out again. " Then," said Mrs. W., "I hope you will go to-morrow and pay it, for happening to meet our preacher in a store the other day, I was surprised to hear him say there were hundreds of dollars of unpaid pew rents due him, and that he found it impossible to keep out of debt in purchasing clothing and necessary articles for his household, because so large a number neglected to pay them. I was just thinking what a shame it was for i people to rent a pew in a church and not pay for it regularly and punctually, when the thought struck me that perhaps we were like I the rest of mankind, no better than we should . be—which means we were not good at all wherefore I asked you." You had better say I didn t promise faithfully to attend to it as soon as breakfast was over. And so I did— j I not only paid my back pew rent, but six months in advance, and then went and bought Mrs. \V . the prettiest dress I could find. And now, kind hearers and readers, have you paid < your pew rents? If you haven't, I hope some Mrs. .audle will be after you with a sharp stick to stir you up, P.
