It is true, that they all, have, not unfrequently been attended with great calamity, in the special visitation of Gods avenging retribution unto the children of men—which is only ' the fulfilment of his unalterable law. For he'af firms, in unequivocal language, within the fdlds of divine inspiration. that, Thisway of the transgres sor is hard." Earthquakes, in their convulsive shacks, have devastated Whole regions of country, and rocked it from centre to cireum ference. While air, has borne aloft, into the aerial - world, proud monuments of earth, to fall, is but the wreck of hu man skill—and in its magic flight along the bosom of the earth. con% erted.verdarit regions and golden climes into .a barren wage. While our Niles, and our Tibem, in the overflowing of-their banks, and a portion of the surrounding country, have commit ted extensive depredations upon property, both public and private. But, by exercising all neces sary precaution against their ravages, we can abide m sure security, from their evils in every form. • Earthquakes, and Tornadoes, were not uncom mon in the days of the zunediluvians---Lbut since the christian era, those special visitations upon man, by his author, are far less frequent. 400 4731 538 385 220 30 But, no one, who is familiarly conversant ith the past history of the world, but what will readily admit, that fire has caused the entire ruin, of some of the greatest cities, the world has evil,- known— clothed in o mlence and power, they might yet have been living monuments of man's skill and genius—had not their tate, among the unfortunate of this world been cast. 29,928 We pointto Gomorrah, Sodom, Rome, and Mos cow, and many other proud cities which it is un necessary to mention. But let The fire that buried them—that sang their funeral dirge, and chanted a requium to their departing days, tell how• they per ished. . But, to speak from a more modern date, we re fer you to London, New York, Pittsburg, and hun dreds of other places which we presume are fami liar to the reader, and ali within the recollection of the present age. But lastly, though not least, we cite you to unfortunate Towanda, who deserved a better fate, but to whose sad calamity we aro all. living witnesses. 14,389 Self preservation, it; one of the primitive instincts of our nature, and should cause 113 i at all times, to be on our guard, prepared to combat the evils of this life to which we are so commonly exposed. Towanda, is very ill prepared at present, to make a successful resistance against fire—without an ef fective engine, or well organized fire comßany. But she need not be thus weak and feeble in hes own detente. There are scores of young men in our borough, who would cheerfully volunteer their aid and organize a well equipped company of fire then, if furnished, with the requisite means, by those whose interests they are willing to protect. I profess to be endowed __but' with a moderate share of that prophetic vision which is common un to all men, in judging of untranspired events. But in judging cf the future by the past, I venture•here to predict, that another square.must yet be consum ed in Towanda, by the devouring element, before its inhabitants, will adopt measures for their future safety . • Many of you, who abide in supposed security, and fancy yourselves beyond the reach of fire, jll be sadly mistaken, when you find yourselves made destitute by its ravages, of all which has heretofore rendered yob comfortable, and turned loose upon the cold charities of this selfish world. Then, you will regret that you did not exerCtitat influence you possessed, iu purchasing your security from fire, which could be obtained with a mere nominal sum, compared with the value of apermanent safeguard and shield thrown around yourself, your family, and your all.

Tampico, received .by British expresses. },pit tug semi-official accounts of the taking of the Capital. Santa Anna marched out on the 13th rith 10.. 000 men and.2o pieces of cannon. and proceeded to Guadaloupe. lt,was expected he would soou retreat to Othaea, and no further immediate moles tation from him was anticipated. The entire American loss imm th7,Bth to the 13th September, amounts to 25 _officers killed and 47 wounded, and 490 men killed. and piSunded. In the last battle, that at Chapultepec, which'oc currecron,the t3th. Gen. Scott brought forty pieces of cannon to bearon the height, and soon render ing them untenable. Ou the afternoon of the t4th, Gen. Scott sent 1.500 men into the city, who took possession of the cita del, after some serious oppcbitions from the rab ble uho attacked their rear and wounded a number. On the 13th. the women of the city had demand. ed muskets, from Sa to Anna, but he was unable to furnish them.

PETERSBURG, Oct. 1 1,. 1847 An Extra Picayune, dated the 4th inst., contains intelligence from Vera Cruz to the 26th ult., and from Tampico to the 30th, received at New Orleans by the arrival of the steamship Alabama. There had been no later news direct from Gen. Scott's army, put the Pica une learns through a source entitled to great respect, that the American loss in officers during the battles of the Bth and 13th ult. was twenty-seven killed & forty-five wounded. There is no confirmation of the death of any of our Genarals. Letters received by commercial houses at Tam pico, from . their correTrindents in the city of i co confirm entirely the Picaune - is former reports of the battles of Altil el 'Rey and Chapultepec heights. on the Bth and ith, in which Gen. Scott carried these stn. ng-holds at the point of the bayonet. A circular published by the Alcalde of Guada loupe, dated on the 14th, addressed to the Con-i -manciants General of the departments. declares that Santa Anna had evacua:ed the Capital, but that other means might be pursued to harrass the enemy It goes on to say That heroic resistance had been made for the space of six days., but the enemy sit length established himself in places and positiorns from which his missiles could reach the peaceful thousands of the city, and that their Supreme Go vernments seeing - the State affairs warranted a de parturr changed their abede, and the seat of govern merit would be very soon announced ; though the cite had not vet been agreed upon. The American army charged on the 13th at day break with all their force upon Chapultepec, which yielded after a spirited defence of six hours. The Americans immediately marched upon another strong fortification, but the first advance was check ed by the Mexican troops led by Santa Arinna, dts putiug the ground inch by inch but the Mexicans were finally routed from the citadelafter nine hours'', hard fighting. The capital being in this situation, Santa Anna anxious to avoid its bombardment, determined to evacuate the capital. Verbal reports received at Vera Cruz are, that he retired to Guadaloupe with ten thousand troops and twenty-five pieces artillery. No mention is made of the reported bombard ment on the 14th and I.sth. A letter received at Vera Cruz says : After' thn Americans carried the Citadel, they turned theguns of that fortification on the city, when the Mexican army retreated to Guadaloupe.. The Minister of Foreign Affairs addressed the- Governor of the Capital, directinm t . him to arrange affairs as well as lie could until he received official information where the-seat of Government was es tablished. There is no confirmation of the report that Santa Anna had been wounded. It was reported that General Quitman was on his way down to Vera Cruz with despatches and four thousand men. Col. Wilson wag se rioasly ill. • Gen. Paterson.‘vould take command of the forces in the city and state of Vera Cruz, or prceed Gen. Scott, as he shoulil think proper ou his arrival there It is reported that the Yellow Fever had made its appearance in Gen. Lane's command, and that there was some scarcity of provisions. Another rumor is, that the Guerillas had fortified Cerro Gordo. A letter from Major Lally, dated Jalapa. Sept. 23d, saws that all was quiet there. His wound in the neck came near killing him, but he was then doing well. The steamship Alabama arrived at New Orleans on Monday last from Vera Cruz. Gen. Lane had advanced as far as the National„Bridge on his way to join Gen. Scott, but was so harmssed by the. guerrilleros that be was compelled to send to Vera Cruz for ammunition. The Guerrilleros are in Lirge force all along she road, and are said to be preparing to make a des 'perate stand at Cerro Gord4under the command of Paredes. The Picayune's Vera Crui correspondent on the 25th ult. states that report wascurrent that Santa Anna has resigned-lhe Piesidericy and issued a Proclamation to that effect. The writer, however,. had not seen the paper, *ugh the rumor was gen erally believed. There has been nothilw-later from Gen. Scott's army, and it is now evident that all hisofficial des patches have been intercepted—indeed, it is im possible to pass between the capitol and Vera Cruz unless in large force, and the difficulty of com munications is daily incteasiter. The Picayune publishes a Proclamation by Santa Anna, dated Guiulaloupe, Sept. 14th: announcing that the Americans had taken Chapultepec on the preceeding day, after a severe engagement of six hours d,uration. The Mexican Army had entirely evacuated the capital to avoid its bombardment. The account in the New York sun. from this appears to be evident ly a hoax—or something wome. - The Mexican Government has become migratory and resolved to frillow the army, which was at Guadaloupe, btit would probably retire still further tram the city.
