Extensive Fire in Allentown—Best . part of tlfe Town in Ashes. From the correspondence of the Public Ledger, ~we derive the following particulars of an awful calamity that has befallen the citizens of Allentown, the captial of Lehigh -dounty, in this State. In the brief space of two hours, the fairest and most .flour* ishing paxtion of the town, comprising immense Stores, Hotels, Workshops, Post Office, Odd Fellows' Hall, and elegant private residences, has been re duced to a heap of promiscuous ruins. As this is our native town, our long cherished home, and we recognise among the sufferers the names of near relatives and friends, we need not say that the news of their sore visitation has filled us with deep regret. . Most heartily and sincerely do we sympa !, thise with the unfortunate sufferers. We trust, too, that a general movement will not be wanting throughout the State, to make up in part their over whelming loss from the overflowing coffers of the more prosperous, ft would really seem that poor Allentown is doomed to perpetual misfortune. Once have many of its citizens been'severe suffer, ers by terrible floods in the river Lehigh—then their business was laid prostrate by the failure of the Northampton Bank . which brought poverty to the doors of hundreds—and now, worse than all, their town is swept by a consuming fire ! Truly, their lot is a hard one ! From the Correspondence uf the Public Ledger. Allentown. June Ist 1848. The most beautiful and active part "of our town lies in ashes. Fire, that awful calamity, has visited our peaceful town, wreaked its vengeance on its very heart and left it In a deplorable condition. The fire broke out in a" frame stable near the cen tre of the town, at about 3 o’clock this' afternoon, there being a strong southeasterly wind; spread with awful rapidity in that direction, and raging most vehemently until 0 o'clock, when the following buildings were already laid in ruins: The splendid new Odd (which was nearly ready for dedication.) occupied by Weiss and Luchman's.shoe and variety store. Keck's tail oring establishment, and H. Nagle's oyster cellar: Grirn and Renuinger's store, Seltridge and Wilson'? store, James Trexler's Hotel. Veager and Weidner’s store, Joseph Weiss' jewelry store, Thomas Ging kinger's tin and stove store, Gangwer's millinery shop and residence; Trios. Newhart's tailoring estab lishment, Dr. Donnosky’s drug store, Mertz&Wea vers-store. Wagner & Hoover's store, Ed. Newhart's hardware store, the Post-office, Geo. Lucas' shoe store, Nathan Hersh's clothing store, Mrs. Brown's millinery, J. Q. Cole's cedar ware establishment. J. F. Ruhe's tobacco store, Reuben Rice's chair man ufactory, Charles Scholl's tailor shop, together with the following private residences: Daniel Keip£r*?, Mr. Keiper's, Peter Hoover's and granary. Joshua Hams'. Mrs. Heckman's, Dr. C. H. Martin's. Joseph F. Newhart's, Mrs. Catharine Groff's, Dresher & Woodring's, and Mr. M°yer's. These are all the buildings destroyed as far as I was able jo ascer- A large number of stables and out houses were'also burned down. The progress of the fire was arrested at aboTiFsix o'clock. Had the wind, alter the fire was raging for some time, not taken a more southern direction, the greater part of the town would probably have been burned down. The loss is immeuse. The lined • spread so rapidly that but very little of the store goods and othermiovea bles were saved. The loss must at least be about $250,000. The stable where the lire originated is supposed to have heeif set on fire by boys, playing in it with cigars and lire-crackers. About one third of the property destroyed. 1 un derstand. is covered by insurance. Upwards of. in families have been thrown out of their homes. Gen. Butler a Poet It appears that the gallant soldier and elevated statesman, Gen. W.m. O. Butler. the Democratic nominee for Vice President, is also a poet, brave as a lion—gentle as a lamb. The N. Y. Mirror says: “General Butler is a poet, as well as a soldier and a Democrat, and will draw hard upon the sympa thies of the literary classes." In confirmation of this, we find the following beautiful poem in our casket of gathered gems:, from various shores, * The Boat Horn. BY GEN. W. U. BUTLER. 0, boatman, wind that horn again, For never did the listening air Upon its lambent bosom bear So wild, so soft, so sweet a strain ! What though thy notes are sad and ft*w, By every simple boatman blown, Yet is each pulse to nature true, And melody in evr-rv tone. How oft, in boyhoods joyous day, Unmindful of the lapsing hours, L’ve loitered on my homeward way, •By wild Ohio's brink of flowers, While some lone boatman from the deck Poured his sbft numbers to that tide, As if to charm, from storm and wreck, The boat where all his fortunes ride! Delighted Nature drank the sound, Enchanted—Echo bore it round, In whispers sofl and softer still, From hill to plain and plain to hill, Till e'en--the thoughtless frolic bov, Elate will hope, and wild with jov, Who gambolled by the river’s side, And sported with the fretting tide, Feels something new prevade his breast, Change his light step, repress his jest, Bends o’er the flood his eager ear, To catch the sounds far off, yet dear— Drinks the sweet draught, but knows not why The tear of rapture fills his eye. And can he now, to manhood grown, Tell why those notes, simple and lone, As on the ravished ear they fell. Bind every sense in magic spell? Theife is a tide of feeling given To all on earth, its fountain Heaven, Beginning with the dewy flower, Just ope’d in Flora’s vernal bower— Rising creation’s orders through 'With louder murmur, brighter hue— ’Tis sympathy ! its ebb and flow Gives life its hues, its joy and wo. Music, the spirit that can move ..Its waves to war, or lull to love — Can cheer the sailor mid the wave. And bid him on ! nor fear the grave— Inspire the pilgrim on his road, And elevate his soul to God. Then, boatman ! wind that horn again ! Though much of sorrow mark its strain, Yet are its notes to sorrow dear; What though they wake fond memory’s tear! Tears are sad memory's sacred feast, And rapture oft her chosen guest. An Honorable Admission The New York Courier am! Enquirer (whig) pays the following tribute to the character, ability, and popularity of General Cass: and. in so doing administers a cutting rebuke to those prints, which, from mere partisan maligi ity, are attempting to asperse the character of one of the purest Patriots and ablest Statesmen that our country has produced. ‘Tt is too much the custom of the mere party press to perceive nothing but what is evil in an op ponent. and only good qualities—real or imaginary —in a political friend: We accordingly find Gen. Cass spoken of as a. man without character and without political strength. . “ This is a great error. In all the relations of private life, General Cass Jias been known to the writer for nearly thirty years, and a more estima ble father and husband, of a more honorable and conscientious gentleman,we are notacquainted with. £ Of his talents there can be no question; and were he a whig in principle, the election of no man to the presidency would give us more pleasure. Few men in our country have more ' personal friends than Lewis Cass. The whole west and north west are devoted to him; and upon the subject of the peculiar institutions of the south, he is as ac ceptable to the southern men as a slaveholder would be. Add to these sources ol strength the unexcep tionable private character of Gen. Cass, his admit ted talents, and the certainty that, except in this State, he will poll the whole vote of his party, and « there can* be no question but that he is altogether j the strongest candidate that could be named. They f have acted wisely in placing him before the public ( as their candidate.” Vote ox the Ratification of the Treaty.— Senate of the United States having taken off injunction. of secrecy from its members, we lay before our readers the official statement of the final vote: Yeas— Messrs.

THIS TRUSS has the superiority of any hereto fore in use, Ist, on account of its durability and cleanliness, the rupture pad being of glass, (in any shape or form.) the adjustments of the springs to suit the action of the body, and calculated to be fitted to either side. The rupture pad has a double motion ; Ist, by revolving on its own axis; 2d, by the lever to which it is attached, and where said lever is connected to the main spring. The supe riority which this Truss has over others is obvious in this, that it is most effectual in retaining the parts in their proper place, and making due pres sure ; it is always clean ; its shape or form is du rable, which in stuffed pads is not the case, as they become saturated with the fluids from the body. The Umbilical T russ is unsurpassed, hc'ing sp adapted as to remain perfectly secure where ap plied. Physicians and others are invited to call and ex amine this instrument. Numerous certificates can be shown, from some of the most eminent of the medical profession, recommending the instru ment. For sale at JOHN F. LONG’S . Drug and Medical Store, No. 8, N. Queen st.

THE success of JOS. GORMELY, u\ the CLOTHING BUSINESS, excites the surprise of some and the envy and jealousy of others. ; His unparalleled success some attribute to one cause, and some to another. And some, more envious than.the rest, attribute it to any cause that best suits their purposes, no matter how unjust, or how: foul the misrepresentations. Again, there is another class more easily satisfied, and content themselves by saying—«« Well, itjs all lupk better to be born lucky than rich. Born-under a lucky planet,” &c, “ Pshaw says Dr. Franklin, of luck, all the luck I know of is in proper management.” Precisely so, Dr., and just the operating cause in the extensive business done at the great LANCAS TER HALL OF FASHIONS?. . The only secret in this large business, and the only-reason that it is large, is because he is.careful in, the selection of good materials, and has a!! his goods well made— and then the tit ot his garments cannot be surpassed; and are sold at prices that defv competition. This is the cause of his astonishing success at the great LANCASTER HALL OF FASHIONS, N. Queen St, Lancaster;, next to J. Gish & Co.’s Book Store and the National House.

FORD, being desirous of returning hia • sincere and hearty thanks to the citizens of Lancaster city and coifnty, for the kind manner in which they have come forward and welcomed him —being an entire stranger among them—and for the unprecedented patronage he has received at their hands, adopts this medium of expressing his gratitude for their favors. He wishes it distinctly understood that he does not attempt to thrust it down the necks of the public, that his is the only Clothing Store in the world, nor has he gotquite as magnificent a front to his establishment as some persons pretend to have ; but one thing is certain, and it has been unanimously decided by the entire population of Lancaster, that he has just received the most magnificent and extensive Assortment of Goods, suitable for the present and coming season, ever be fore exhibited in this county, to describe which is almost an impossibility.
