' • THE REPTTBLICAtiS OF LAZWASTftiR. knoWhoW fast their leaders are `drifting 'towards social and political .eiluality with the negro; we adYise them -to readJoHN W. FoRNEY's letter to the '''Press of Saturday last. We are unable to make room for the entire letter,-but the folloWing extracts from it fairly re ,.present its spirit: WAsurxoroN, ov. 1861 We had a very remarkable Thantrviv , itig here yesterchty. The soldiers in camp and hospital were visited by the loyal peo ple, prayed for, and feasted without end.— Our churches were filled; our stores were closed. It was a univarsal holiday. T went to hear Mr, Frederick Douglass, the much abused colored orator, at the Israel Bethel Church, and I thought I had well celebrat ed my Thanksgiving by the investment.— Never having heard him before, it was worth something to hear him now. His audience was composed of persons of both, indeed of several, colors. Now, I think it would be difficult to - find anywhere a more intelligent and appreciative assemblage of people. The women were well dressed— the men well behaved. Those of his rare were evidently proud of Douglass,and they had a good right teke so. I can remember ,ell how common itwas in the old times, when to be a Democrat was to be opposed. to Abolitionism, that denunciation and ridicule of Fred Douglass was a potent and favorite pastime among my former political associates. The mo ment, latinevr, that slavery took up arms against the ttovernment, the history of Fred Douglass became intensely interest ing, and he himself began to reap the har vest of the seeds he had sown so industri ously among so many perils. He is, of course, intensely exercised on the subject ofslavery ; but it was very sug gestive to hear him address his own race, to advise them to obey the laws, to fight for their country, to avoid all public disturb ances, to present a neat and clean appear ance, and to remember and to guard against the prejudices that existed against them. But T have neither tines nor space to con tinue a description of this Very interesting evening, and only speak of it now to make another chapter in the volume of these most „exciting times. Does it not sound like a studied in sult to the people of Philadelphia to write to them that " it would lie difficult to find anywhere a more intelligent as semblage of people" ;ban the negroes, mulattoes and eel-back whites who gathered together i n that African church not to give thanks to (;oil, but to do honor to FuEnEttICK DouG LASS and ABRAHAM LiNcoLN ? liy what magic power have the colored waiters, boot blacks, coachmen, nurses and cooks of the District of Columbia, most of whom were slaves but a short time ago, been transformed into ladies and gentlemen as intelligent and as elegant in their manners as the highly educated and re fined white people of Philadelphia or Lancaster? Why is such absurd lauda tion as this bestowed 1111011 an assem blage of " all colors'' which met to vio late the purpose for which "Th ks giviug Day" was appointed:' There can be but one rational explanation of it. It is the fixed purpose of the lie publican leaders to put the negroes on a perfect equality with the whites. The masses_of the Republican party are not yet prepared for this. By artful impo sition, their sympathies have been awakened in behalf of the negro, but they have not yet come to regard hint as - their equal. They have still to he educated up to this point, and this work has been set apart for such newspaper pensioners on the bounty of the Ad ministration as are mean enough to un dertake it. These hired missionaries of Abolitionism seem inclined to do their work thoroughly. They attend negro churches, and sit down on the same benches with the sable sons and daugh ters of Africa, and thus set an extunple whielt they hope eventually to see fol lowed by all except the stiff-necked and rebellious " Copperheads," who obsti nately adhere to their own color. The rank and file of the Republican party have only to keep on followinL , such leaders as STEN - rx , , Sum NER and FORNEY about five years longer, if they wish to see their children seated on the same bench with little negroes at school, their wives crowded out of their seats at public assemblages by " intelligent and appreciative" wenches, and them selves set in ebony Ironies in the jury box, while an African J udge dispenses justice front the Bench ! It is to pre pare the public mind for such a radical social and political revolution that let ters like this of OccasionaC.s are being written to the leading Republican jour nals of the country. If the Republican party lives four years longer, the next Presidential election will be fought on the square issue of Negro Equality. It nuts/ have been " very suggestive" to hear Farm Dot. - GLAss "advise his own rade to obey the laws and fight for their country." The question must have suggested itself to Mr. FonNEy's acute mind, "how comes it, FRED, that ' you never gave this advice to your own race till LiNcoLN kicked the Constitu tion out from under his feet? Sine° you have so much reverence for the laws and are so much inclined to fight for your ciountry, why did you conspire with old ffonx linowx to put pikes in the hands of your own race, which you hoped they would use to overturn the government of the country- you now exhort your race to fight for?" oceas ional knows as well as anybody, that FRED DOUGLASS was one of the gam , of Abolitionists who conspired with BROWN to upset the Constitutional GovernMent of the United States five years ago; and yet he does not hesitate to praise this negro traitor, and to affirm that "thanksgiving day" waswell spent by those who went to hear him. 2 70 - To-day the ( lovernment of the United States stand more stable during war than any European Government during peace. Mr. Lincoln's Adaimsiration ewe do ,Iny thingit wishes—provided, of course, it wisbos to do right.—Jadopeadeat. Yes, Mr. Lincoln's Administration could-send Massachusetts soldiers to Indiana to vote ; it could send a Massa chusetts General to New York city to menace the freedom of the elective franchise; but when a Massachusetts Governor informed the Secretary of War, in reply to a call for troops at a critical period, that that State would not perform her obligations to, the Union :unless Lincoln would firstconsent to do what he had said in his Inaugurad Ad dress he had neither the right nor the inclination to do, Mr. Lincoln's Ad ministration did not dare to send troops to Massachusetts to overawe the rebel lious Abolitionists. " The Administra tion can do anything it wishes, provided it wishes to do right ;" and provided, further, it allows Beecher and the Inde pendent to decide what is right.

Now bring on your good times. for the faith that is in theM. -............ In accomplishing this great work of educating the Democratic masses, the Democratic press has done its work wisely and done it well. But its labors are not ended, and there can be no ces sation to the noble toil in which it is engaged. While the end of a most ex cited contest will allow a latge space in Democratic newspapers for news, busi ness and literature, there will still be abundant room and continuing necessity for a proper discussion of every new phase which may be presented by our political aflitirs. There will still be the same need of vigilance, of boldness, and of freedom of expression. We have no fear from what we know of the Democratic editors of this State but that they - will he found equal to any occasion which the exigencies of the times may present. But they joust be liberally sustained by the people. In many counties of this Mate it will be a hard matter for the proprietors of Democratic newspa pers properly to sustain themselves in the pressure that is now brought to bear upon them. The vast expansion of our paper currency and its great deprecia- tion has sent up the price of every arti cle in use by printers to most unheard of prices. There is therefore great need of lilrerality on the part of every Demo crat in the state. There is no one art cle of greater import anee„ or of more prime necessity in 0 family in these days than a well eondueted newspaper No household should he without one If there are children itt it it will be worth more to each one of them than half a year's sehooling.

The first duty of every Democrat in this State in this re- spect is to 4111),cribe awl sustain hy means in his power his own count.) paper. If he can afford to take only one newspaper, that should be the paper published in his own county. Tt gives him all the news, both general and local, and is in all respects just what he and his family need. Some sacrifices should be made willingly by any fiunily in order that they may have a good newspaper in the house. It is a neces- city in these days. The time when it could he regarded as a luxury has gone by. There is abundant means, and we hope abundant liberality, in the Dein- ocratie party of this State to make every Democratic newspaper in it self sustaining. To do this is the bounden duty of those who desire to see the eventual triumph of the great political principles in, which they have been taught to believe. They should be made to recognize this duty clearly, and we hope our eotemporaries in the rural districts will speak plainly to their people on this subject. More Extermination A violent little Abolition newspaper in Philadelphia known as the Daily New 6, re-echoes the speech of General Butler in New York. All the curs take up the howl of the leader of the pack. The Xi ms says: " If the Smith will not come back by the end of the year, stop the payment of boun ties, stop calling for levies of men, stay the efforts of town committees and local au thorities to till the armies, and call upon the young urn of the North to end thr 1,1,-. Say to them to gather from the East and the West, and, marching Southward, extermi nate the traitors from a land that hence forth will be given to the sturdy, fearless men who t , aupose the army of freedom. Let the South know that they have but two alternatives—submission or extermination; and if they choose to be blotted out front the face or the earth, their blood rests upon their own hands.'' That's just the idea; "call out the young men of the North," and let - it be done by proclamation, speedily. Thous ands of those who voted for Old Abe and the war are itching for the chance. Let the word go out ." to whom it may concern " and the secret lodges of the loyal leaguers will send out such a host as will frighten even Beelzebub. Oree ley's nine hundred thousand will never be heard tell of again, if this is done. And why not let the editor of the Sec's be commander? •• To Whom it May Concern."

Lincoln. The Radicals who rule are merciless in their demands for victims. The possr man's home is no longer the castle which his fathers labored to make it. It is the stall in the droveyard of con seription, where he awaits the knife of the military butcher. Ilia limbs are not his own. His life is a plaything for the powers that heat Washington. 11 is sweat is taxed so grievously to fatten official plunderers and their pets, that it will hardlyget bread for his children, and his assessment for the emancipation of the negro must Ise paid in his heart's blood. Two millions if men, whom it is small praise to Say that (Sod made equal to Abraham Lincoln, with as much right :is he or any of his kind, to the enjoyment of life, of home, of liberty, Of sweet domestic ties, and the just rewards of honest labor, have already been sacrificed to the prosecu- tion of his sche nes of abolition. Alulti tudes, who four years ago were breath ing the vigorous breath of youth, as hopeful as we, and with as good a right to hope for useful lives and long ones, are now lucre heaps of dead men's bones, bleaching all over the plains of the South, or scantily hid with a cover- ing of tranipled and bloody earth. The skill, the capital, and the industry of the nation have been diverted from the fields of peaceful toil, and useful enter- prise, to the invention and manufacture of the tools with whii•li men kill each other—the forging of bayonets, the moulding . of goes, the stuffing of shells with new and infernal compounds, and like contrivances to facilitate the handi work of death. Labor-savingmachinery is devised hy which une man Can do the work of ten, in tilling graves. And still the war goes on, the blood flows, the People an , hegs4ared, the currency )vaxes hourly more ragged, the orphan asylums fill up, and wings are built for the little unfortunates, who multiply faster than men can lay bricks, the capital of the country is absorbed by a new-made aristocracy or shoddy—ne groes, kidnapped from the South, crowd out of employment the white laborers who are not slaughtered to emancipate those they have left behind—and the restoration of the ("Mon, promised as the reward for all these woes and calami ties, is farther off than it was when Abraham - Lincoln took his seat. Returning Prisoners. Just now the newspapers are full of details of the wretehed condition of our prisoners, who are being brought home from the horrible confinement in which many of them have suffered unlicard of miseries in the wretched placesofimpris onment allotted to them in the South ; and some Abolition journals are at length urging that they shall all lie brought by exchanging, an equal number of those we hold. This ought to have been done long ago. 'Nothing has stood in the way of its accomplish ment, except the fact that a quarrel was got up about the military status of our negro soldiery'. The South was will ing and ready to exchange white man for ivhite loan. The horrors now being revealed will, we hope, compel the Ad ministration to do tardy justice to the brave men who have endured such woes. We are confident that the people will loudly demand that I his shall be done. Justice and littinal lily :dike forbid that there should he any longer delay in the matter. Let the question as to the rights of negro soldiers remain in abeyance, until our much-suljering white soldiers are rescued from the certain and hor rible death which must await them if they are left to languish away the weary mouths of this winter in the loathsome places where they are now confined. The (Hikers of the Florida to be Given The removal of the officers of the Florida frofil the Old Capitol prison, and their hying returned on board of the Wachusset, is regarded as a sure indication that they are to be given up. This settles the question of international law, which arose on the premises, in favor of Brazil, and ends peaceably a matter which might otherwise have re sulted in serious international compli cations. After the loud noise made over the capture of the vessel, it must be a humiliating position for the authorities at Washington to be placed in ; but since the Mason and Slidell affair, and the seating of Max i 01 illian on the throne of Mexico, we can scarcely imagine that they can be very sensitive on points of national pride. We have got used to humiliating ourselves heibre foreign nations, and eating very humble pie since under the present wretched Ad ministration. .Tbieckat the White Rouse. The Washington ,S'tctr states that it is the pratice of people who visit the White House, to steal and carry off whatever they can lay their hands on. They have so mutilated the window curtains and brocade of the furniture by cutting pieces out as to have ruined them. They have also carried off the brackets and tassels from the curtains. There never was such a state of things under Democratic rule. From the cor ruptions of the Administration what more can we expect? A few months ago another de posit of mineral wealth was brought to light in Nevada, which has proved of incalculable value to the silver mines. This was an immense basin of salt, five miles square, near the sink of the Car son River. This basin, says a gentle man who writes from Virginia City, Appears once to have been the bottom oUa lake, and the salt is found good even on the surface. A covering of about three inches is loose and indif ferent, but beneath "this, for a depth of fourteen feet, pure rock salt is found as Clear as ice and us white "as the riven snow."

The New York Tribune, how ever, exclaimed against the idea that rebels are to be conffliated with any such condescension ; Mr. Lincoln will never stoop so low, and if lie did, the only effect would be to souse the spirits and inflame the pride of the rebels by the extraordinary honor. We thi4k that the Tribune is probably correct as the matter-of-fact' when it says Mr. Lincoln will send no commissioners here. The report to the 4sontrary, rests, it is said, on the authority of the National Intel ligenecr, but we should hardly expect of the peculiar people wherude at Washing ton such respect and courtesy to our states and citizens as would be involved in ad dressingour constitutedauthorities. "To whom it may concern" is the politest speech that Mr. Lineal' yet knows. He has not yet learned to speak so that we can hear him, but that Mr. Lincoln proposes to address us in some sort be fore long. To speak at us if not to us is extremely probable. Those who are more likely to know his purposes than the National Intellif,Aneer, tell us that his forthcoming message is to be the medium of communication. The Tel bunesays that the overtures will lie made through that channel or otherwise as circumstances shall suggest. By other wise is probably meant a proclamation of some sort. The object of the propos ed exhibition of royal clemency, is sim ply diplomatic. Such being its charac ter, Seward will give it shape. It will be a compound of savage coaxings, and savage threats. Coaxiugs, such li.s an angry person made through policy, but without being able to conceal the pas sion that trembles in his speech, and which impatiently waits for indulgence till the victim shall be ensnared. Threats such as flow with ready eloquence from a malignant and hate possessed soul. Pol i (.y.—n ot good-w ill or even compassion—is at:the bottom of the whole move. The Tpiinta, explains it thus : " We believe, therefore, that the time has come for detaching southern masses froni the fortunes of rebellion, and that overtures looking to that end will soon be made by the president either through his forthcoming message orotherwiseas circumstances shall seem to render it expediant.' The delusion that the separate attitude assumed by the confederate states is not an act of the people or sustained by them, seems in deed inveterate. This fancy has been at once the snare and support of our ene mies. Never before did any community give such evidences of union and resolution as ours. The action of the government has been through agencies chosen by the people, and has been sustained by them with an extraordinary unanimity. Our enc odes still flatter their hopes and cheer their despondency, with the absurd as sumption that everything done lase has been done against the will of the mass of the people. The time has now come, says the ?rib ow, fur detaching this re luctant, coerced , mass from the few who lead them. For this end Mr. Lincoln is to put in his coming message some words of diplomacy which are expected to make fools of us ; or, if more expedi ent, he will address us a proclamation brimful of love, terror, and cunning, which must, without fail, bring us re joicing, and trembling at his feet. As the Tribune proceeds on this silly as sumption it is superfluous to say that Lincoln will not get derision for his re ward. Those leaders of ours who so dis turb his sleep are but our servants, and do our commands. Valuable as tiny are to us, and formidable as they are to the enemy, our work is independent of them. If they fall or fail we will Lind others. Mr. Lincoln is about to try to separate the mass of the people, not from their leaders, but from themselves. This is too stupid an undertaking for a creditable, much less a successful diplomatic trick. His proclamations he has tried before ; they did notyield him enough to pay for printing. If the Con federates were far duller than they are, Mr. Lincoln would himself supply suf ficient warnings against his wiles. Kil patrick and Dahlgren came with great packages of the " amnesty proclama tion," as it is called, which they scatter ed like leaves in autumn. But they came also with orders in their pockets for sacking, burning, destroying Rich mond ; for killing the President and his cabinet; for turning loose ten thousand men, without officers, to do their twill upon doomed people of all ages and both sexes. A lover that shows the teeth and claws of a lion cannot expect to be very successful in his wooing, and how is Mr. Lincoln now preparing us for the recep tion of a forthcoming, epistle that is to detach us from our government! 1-I cis soon to spread out his Affectionate arms and we are expected to hurry io, fur— " the time has come." How is lie woo ing us ? Read the boasting record which we publish to-day from his officers in the valley. Hear them tell how many mills they have destroyed; how many barns; how many cornfields • how ninny bushels of wheat and pounds of meat ! All this under orders of Sheridan, who with indecent haste has been since pro moted to McClellan's honor—Sheridan himself, acting under orders of Lieut. Oen. ( I.•ant. Read the summit, too, attic burning of Rome. I fear the boast that Sherman is marking his path an utter desolation. After this preparation, af ter these polite courtesies, these win ning attentions, these seductive favors, Mr. Abraham Lincoln is to invite us to his arms. We think Mr. Lincoln:S . , message, or proclamation, will find us fi l m poor humor to appreciate his afteetion ate sentiments toward us. We fear he has made too free an exhibition of his inner• parlor and of the winding stair which leads to it for us to play the part of the tly in the fable. We shall, of course, be very much obliged to him for any kind worth he may-speak to us, mid we are waiting to hear theni. But as we do not ask pardon when we have com mitted no ofliaise, and are scarcely dis posed to accept forgiveness from him for enormous wrongs he ,lias done us, we shall probably disappoint hint in the returns we may make for his extraordi nary grace and goodness. We shall doubtless be unreasonable enough to consider him as having 'fon - intitted new impertinence, and as having added new insult to the long catalogue of intolerable injuries. But still let Abraham speak Greeley says this is " the time." Hard Times Ahead The latest official reports of the Agri cultural Bureau in the Department of the Interior, at Washington, show an alarming decrease in the supply of staple articles of food throughout the country. During the last two years the wheat crop has fallen off about one-eighth, corn and hay one-tenth, barley one seventh, beef more than one-fifth, and pork more than one-fourth. The present high prices of food are not clue solely to the depreciation of the currency, but also to the growing scarcity of the com modities themselves. The material re sources of the country are now, in fact, undergoing a rapid process of exhaus tion, whose future progress will be mea sured by the steady enhancement of the prices of all the necessaries of life. The pressure of the war has hardly been felt in the North until within the last year; henectOrth we are to feel it groptli everyday j.:l6Ser tuuT heavier. • Tlie ffoiffederate-ArtllitelL, The BaltimoreCofreApoluital*i N.

Now that the election of Lincoln is secure, his supporters are again en deavoring to tickle the fancies of Demo crats with the idea of another era of era of good feeling like that which ex isted in Pint, when,. under pledge of preserving the Union and maintaining the Constitution, Mr. Lincoln had the active support of a large part of the Democratic party. How shamelessly to himself and insultingly to the con servatives that pledge was broken we all know but too well. It proved but a scheme cunningly devised to, harness Democrats to the Presidential car, and commit them to the war for A hol ti on which soon followed. We are just now witnessing a renewal of the plan. After having exhausted the vocabulary of insulting terms to heap upon Democrats individually and as a party, accusing them of the most degrading motives and criminal inten tions, and after endeavoring to blacken the fair fame of the high-minded and honorable soldier who was their presi dential candidate—they suddenly dis cover that Democrats are 'not ingrain wretchesafter all, and that McClellan is not a traitor and a coward! They roar as gently as sucking doves, that the patriots of bothprolies should unite in support of the policy of the constitution ally elected President i—and this union to be upon the basis that the institution of slavery is dead and that the Consti tution should be tunended as to forever prohibit it. This is the sugar-coated way of stating the proposition that a constitution should be formed with pro visions utterly repugnant to the ideas and destructive of the interests of twelve or fifteen States, and then forced upon them at the point of the bayonet. Democrats will recall a somewhat different mode of procedure in 1787, when a revision of the fundamental law was found needful, and look ing to their time-honored guides and exemplars, will refuse to believe that the stability of the Union or the hap piness of the people cant he secured by such means. This sudden out-gush of affection for "malignant copperheads," this readi ness to fall on the necks of "traitors at home," is doubtless a pleasant de -1 vice on the part of the administration leaders to strengthen themselves with Democratic support for some doubt 'f'ul future policy. There is some new scheme, repugnant to patriot -1 ism and abhorrent to humanity, which is about to be put in operation, and the responsibility of which they would be glad to shift upon the Demo cracy, if they can get the slightest excuse to do so. I f I ktarocrats act wisely, they will commit themselves to none of the schemes of the Administration party. The true course, in our view, is to say to the Abolitionists that they have undisputed control of the country and its resources, and that if they see fit to pursue a suicidal course against the protest of the conservative por tion of the people, , they must alone be accountable for results. The burden of taxation and conscription, so long as they are unavoidable and fall equally, the Democracy will bear with as much fortitude as 41,1,e' A bol itionists, but the responsibility of this war they will in no wise consent to assume, charm the Abolitionists never so wise ly. If the administration can preserve the I."nion and the t 'oust itution by the present measures, it is welcome to all the glory—the Democracy want none of ' it. If the sun of our liberties goes down in blood, the Democracy will have none of the responsibility. —Bclfast fib", 0 JOnino/.

The Sl.Aleholas, St"linutes, Wet ropolitaa, Itelmont,Tanuaistity; LoveJo3•, Bran, doeth. and Lafarge Hotels, and IlarllllllleS Museum Set on Fire —Woe the Incendiaries Did Their Work. Thenews embraced in the subjoined re ports is the most startling that we have, per haps, ever been called upon to record. It will be seen that a regularly organized at tempt to fire the city was last night made, and only by the exercise of the greatest energy was rendered wholly abortive. No less than ten or a dozen of the leading hotels and other large buildings were fired be tween the hours of 9 and 12 o'clock, and by these acts an immense amount of life and property was put in jeopardy. Fortunately the fires were not simultaneous, and after the discovery of three or four attempts had been made to carry the fearful Not into ex ecution, the detective police obtained suffi cient knowledge of the affair to lead to the conclusion that a wholestile conflagration was imminent, and accordingly extra vigi lance was exerted by the police and fire de partment, and the late fires were extin guished almost immediately upon their breaking out. The story of the atrocious conspiracy soon spread about the city, and the greatest alarm was felt. among the people. lied the conspiracy, or whatever we may call it, succeeded to the extent evidently in tended, half the city at least might have been in ruins this morning, Never in the history of ate country was there so alarming an affair developed in any community, anti our citizens cannot congratulate themselves too much on their providential escape from a scene of horrors actually sickening to imagine. The Hotels Fired TIT E ST. .1 AM Es. The first fire was discovered at eight o'- clock and forty-three minutes, at the St. James Rotel, corner of Broadway and Twenty-sixth street, hut resulted in but slight damage. It originated in one of the bey-rooms, ;nal the strong smell of phos phorous that pervaded the apartment, and the proximity of matches lo the bed-clothes, discloses the fart that the tire was the work of an incendiary. It is stated by the proprietors that a man, registering his name as John School, :Md., took a room at this house about 5, 1 : o'clock, and that the smoke Willi discovered issuing from his room by the occupant next door. l'pon the dour being broken open, the room was found empty, the occupant having gone, leaving, a black satchel with a Imttle of phosphorous behind. MEIN I,inrohi, 900 •,•ISI lINI l.ilHl lIIMMIEIIi= At tire minutes of nine the St. Nicholas llotel was discovered on fire in roans 13S, 1:19, and 140, situated in the middle building of the three on the upper floor. About the same time fire broke out in bedroom 174 in the front building of the hotel. In both places the strong smell of phosphorous and an abut pant matches in the bed-clothes, signified the tire to have been the work of an incendiary. The rooms were burned completely out, but the fire department of the hotel, under superintendence of the pro prietor, Mr. I hiwks, succeeded in confining the lire to those apartments. Had it not been for 11w admirable arrangonientS for Liking care of tires at this house, it would have been entirely burned down. A well-known citizen, who boards at the St. Nicholas Hotel, was passing through the main hall last evening, on his way to his room, just before the tire was discovered, when his attention attracted by the very suspicio niiivements of two men who were votive!, gin the hall. Approaching them, he hew one say, " It's all right," when both st, led flur the door, and imme diately left the hotel. Within:, rew seconds afterward the alarm was given. 100 520 191 !N 111 4 At twenty minutes past U o'clock the La Farge I louse was discovered to bean tire in one of the bed-rooms on the upper floor, tine bed being, as in the other places, saturated with phosphorus, and matches lying about in all directions. The damage was slight, but, naturally enough, the guests were thrown into a panic, believing that the whole structure would be tired. The flames were smut extinguished, the damage amounting, to about three hundred dollars. The room in which the tire was discovered was taken by a Mr. .l. It. Richardson, of 'analen, New Jersey, who was out of the room at the time or the lire. El= At at out 10 o'clock a tire was discovered in a front room in the upper floor of the Metropolitan lintel, but it was speedily ex tinguished by the servants of the house. An alarm was given, but before the firemen arrived at the hotel the danger had been passed. The damage here is estimated at one thousand live hundred dollars. One room only was injured. In this room were tbund an empty bottle, which had contain ed phosphorus, a pair of heavy boots, and a valise. In the valise were found a pair of pan tab /1)115 and a pair of prunella gaiters. The tire here was discovered in a bed room en the third floor, which had been en gaged by a man registering himself as " Lieutenant Lewis, Tr. S. A." Smoke being seen to issue from this room, :r strong odor of phosphorus being at the same time perceptible, the (1, )or was illlmedhitely burst open, and in a very few seconds the flames were completely extinguished. The bed in this room had the appearance of having been occupied. The man "Lewis" has not been seen since the discovery of the tire. At this place six bottles of phosphorus were found in a carpet. bag. MB= Almost siinultaneonsly with thediscovery of the tire at the Belmont Hotel. the heti and bedding, with furniture, of a room on the third floor, front, were found to be in flames. During the afternoon a man, who registeted himself as "C. E. Morse, of Ro chester,- :arrived •tt the lintel, and engaged the room in which the lire was Ile was not seen during the evening, and has not been seen suite the .I•tirrence of the tire. The damage is not very great, and was confined to the furniture and bedding of the room. MIE= 'rm.° :Otempts were Wade to Intro this hotel. The first occurred a little before MI. o'clock, at which time a tire was discovered in a bedrooM on the fourth boor of the northeast wing of the hotel. The bedclothes and mattress were piled in the centre of the floor, and Were enveloped in thlllteS \VIIOII th1111(1., 'Phis tire was extinguished without damage to other portions of the building. 'rhe second attempt was made at about 12 o'clock, and the alarm was given Shlllll - with (hilt .'it ' he tires at tile Bel mont lintel and at Tammany. This time the incendiary had pertained his work in the southeast wing of the building, on the fourth floor. Attention was excited by a smell of stroke, and a search developed the tact that in the roont referred to a carpet bag had been placed inside the I)ed, within which carpet-bag was a bottle (if phosphorus. I fere, also, the tire was extinguished with out greater loss than that of the Inrniture and bedding of the room. lIATINVM . S M EU M . . Last night, about nine o'clock, some per son or persons unknown proceeded to the fifth floor of the Museum, in the rear of the gallery of the lecture room, and threw down upOn the floor, near a staircase, a bottle of phosphorous, which ignited and set fire to the wooden-work in the neighborhood. The cry of fire was almost immediately raised, and an intense excitement was at once created throughout the building. In the lecture-room, particularly, the feeling amounted to panic. A large number of the audience rose to their feet in great alarm, and rushed to the various places of exit in wild confusion. Many terror-stricken per sons slid down the iron pillars supporting the galleries, to the parquette, adding, of course, by their frenzied pertbrmances, greatly to the excitement of the scene. For- Innately, the fire was almost hnntediately extinguished by the officers of the building, no serious damage having been done ; and I,y the display of necessary coolness on the part of several actors and gentlemen con nected with the Museum, and by a few self possessed persons in the audience, the panic was suppressed. So far as we (!all learn, nn one was seriously injured in the rush. The bottle which had contained the phos phorus—and which is like those employed by the incendiaries elswhere—was recover ed, unbroken, mid _is in the hands of the tire-marshal.

Of course the wildest stories were afloat, and naturally enough the majority of those living in the hotels felt decidedly nervous, not knowing whether they were to be allowed to shun ber in peace or not. A RALTDIORE WOMAN UNDER ARREST - • A woman of remarkably genteel address, but whose name has not yet transpired,was arrested about nine o'clock last evening by chief John Young and detective McDougal of the Metropolitan detective force, on sus picion of havino• ' some connection with the incendiaries. It appears that she took rooms at the St. Nicholas Hotel early in the afternoon, and that in the evening just be fore the tire occurred she went out. She had not been gone fifteen minutes when the fire broke out. From the St. Nicholas hotel she went to the La Fargo house and stayed a short time, leaVing there only a few 'no 'flouts, prior to fire being disoovered there. She then wentto the Metropolitan hotel and engaged rooms, fire occurring there very soon afterwards. - From the circumstances, the police thought propel:10 detain the wo man until she could give Nome satisfactory account of herself. All that could be learn. ed about her by our reporter last evening was, that she had eome from Baltimore to this city recently, and had been very active during her stay . here, butshe would not dis elckqe the na':ure of her business. OTHER SUSPECTED PARTIES. In the arrest of the woman above referred to, the detectives stumbled upon some things pointing strongly to other parties, and they were at once looked after. It was rumored at 1 o'clock this morning, that some arrests had been made, but the circumstances of the affair could not be learned. It was at once apparent to the police that no one or two parties could have so successfully tired so Tiumy buildings at once,. and that whoever the woman was Whom they had under arrest, she must have accomplices, who could not be far off. The Manner ofFi , etting the Fires The uniformity that characterized this bold attempt at wholesale incendiarism showed that the plan must have been organ ized long beforehand, and every step pre meditated before being entered upon. The mode of operating seemed to be precisely the same in every hotel fired. The beds were saturated with phosporous throughout, so also were the valises, trunks, old boots, and clothes of almost every description. In addition to this matches were found among the bed clothes, laid between the sheets and coverlids, and, in some instances, thrust into the center of the ticks.- The fires were then set and the rooms closed and locked, as if the occupant had vacated the premises. It s supposed by this that the rooms were taken by parties who were determined to fire the buildings, and took this as the quickest way of doing it. The War We are able to trace Sherman's progress down to last Wednesday. Both of his ex peditious have been checked. Slocum's expedition, which moved south from Atlan ta, was, twenty on November 19th, miles ' north of Macon. Inn. statement of Satur day was correct. The Confederates sue ceeded in placing-a strong force in Slocum's front at that point, and he was checked. Down to Tuesday last he had 11114,10 110 farther progress toward Macon, and was believed to have turned to the eastward. Minim is thus relieved front immediate danger. Kilpatrick's cavalry ex pedition, which, at last accounts, had reached Wallace, a small town just north of the Macon and Milledgeville Railroad, made no attempt to march on Macon. It turned toward Milledgeville; captured the city, aunt burned some of the public build ings. Both Slocum and Kilpatrick seem to have abandoned the idea of capturing Macon, and are believed to be moving east ward towards Augusta or Savannah. cell Howard's expedition which Sherman directs in person, has started from A Ilanta to Augusta, though when is not accurately known. This cot moved eastward to Crawfordsville, at town on the Atlanta and Augusta Railroad, sevent . ). miles front Au gusta. item the Confitderatc cavalry were first found. AI ak ing but slight opposition, they retreated before Howard's advancing troops until Berzelia, a town twenty-one miles from Augusta was reachN I. Here the Confederates were reinforced, and made a successful stand. There are reports that _Howard's advance was repulsed with loss. Such was the condition of affairs betbre Augusta on Wednesday last. The military situation on that clay was this : Slocum was twenty miles north of Macon, with a Conti.derate force in Iris front strong enough to check hint. Kilpatrick was at Milledgeville, twenty-five MHOS east of Slo coin and thirty miles northeast of Macon. I loward was at Berzelia,sixty miles north east of Kilpatrick, and eighty-five miles northeast of Slocum. A form was in trout of Howard which was apparently strong enough to check hint. tlen. Forrest, with the body of Confeder art e troops which has for some tune been near Huntsville, Alabama, has suddenly made a movement. He has marched north ward towards Columbia, a town thirty-live miles south of Nashville. Fearing that Forrest would get in his rear, Thomas, who had advanced into . \ Minutia, began a retro grade movenrent, He Abandoned Hunts ville and DN.:our, and retreated into Ten nessee. I lothen withdrew through Pulaski abandoning it, and retreated to Columbia. Ile is sows between Columbia and Nash ville. The Confederates are just south of I 'olumbia. Forrest eontinands. A NtriMst is imminent. There seems to be very little doubt that General Early, having left a force at Stras burg, has sent the greater part of his army to Richmond. Sheridan is still at Win chester. The supply railroad he is building is 110le in running order to the Opequan, live miles cast of Winchester. This road will bring supplies front Harper's Ferry, and the dangers of the :Martinsburg route will be al - bided. There is a report from Washington that Commander Collins has been ordered to take the Confederate steamer Florida, with heroin...l.s alai crew, back to Bahia, Brazil. The Confederatesteamer Chicantauga has been seen on the Atlantic, about half way between IVilmington and the Bermudas. She leas cruising for American vessels. General Burbridge, with the Federal troops in Kentucky, has reached Cumber land Gap. This reinforcement saves it from capture by Breckinridge. Everything is quiet at Petersburg. Picket firing alone occurs. It is at length settled that General Banks returns to New In-leans. Major General John Pope is to IlaVc an active command. We have no news of Gen. Sherman s pro gress, either through Northern or Southern channels, later than that printed yesterday 1110111ing. There now seem to be great doubts of the reported capture of Milledge ville though it has been evacuated by the Confederates. The detailed accounts of Howard's progress towards Augusta, show that he was checked before lie was within forty miles of the town. Atlanta has been entered by a detachment of Southern troops. It was entirely abandoned by the Federal army. and two-thirds had horn tainted. Gen. Thomas, in Tennessee, has retreatNl to Franklin • ten miles south of Nashville. The I 'onll4lerates tbllow him closely.
