Thet l aglisli are particularly, so. Let ns give anesmple: Who that was present can help bavin: a life-long memory of a certain un lucln day at Hew York, in December, 1853, when .ho promises in Cliff street occupied by Jams Harper & Brothers, the great pub lishc- , suddenly glared up with the red fire of a'iighty.cohfiagration, and in a few hours lay cilmbled on the ground, a smoking mass of gri- and black ruins ? The moment that the fit fatality of that fire was ascertained, the Merer s showed themselves men of ready tboiiat and instant action. Englishmen, sitiiald like them, with the fruits of their life laborand enterprise blasted in one sad hour, woulJhave wrung their hands In despair, and have jmost wept, inactively, over the wreck and ruin ffore them. ' The American sufferers be br javed very differently. They instantly esta blish! themselves in a: small office near their : oncegreat establishment, telegraphed to the leaelii printing-offices and press rooms in BostJ and Philadelphia, to wcwtatn eßgai what portion of work each could do for tSm—and did this while their late pre misclwere jet in flames. The evil was done -it vas the part ®f energetic business-men , npedy it without delay. The fire at An {er's took place on Saturday, December oth|lBs3, and, at the usual hour on Monday | \orimg, the establishment was in operation ; gain So time was lost in rearing that magni ieenisecond publishing premises in Franklin Squat, where Messrs. Harper do a greater tradethaii any other house in New York. The enerar of the American character—we might evensay its elasticity —was strongly exhibited in itlfs ease. On the other hand, here is a ; pafai|l case, whh far different results. The greatlr part of the hook-publishing business of LondW is transacted in a narrowlane called Pa sr Nbster Itow, close to'St. Paul’s Ca’hedral. >me eighteen months ago a great fire took ace in that crowded and narrow lane, de, royi ig the premises of the Longsiass and :her leading publishers. To this day, the fly .» ‘1.169,” « 81,” &3., whictra clerk records. Bash number represents soma letter, syllable, or abbreviated ■word; ■took through the glass, at one of the seven signal sta iiose, from four to twenty miles distant, which communi cate with this. Youbso a flag of white gfo.uud, with seme largo black figure upon the centre. It dtps aud rises: so many waves to the right, so many to the left; then a different flag takes itaplace,,and dips ana rises m turn. These combinations form a perfect system of tele grauhing. by wtich front one..to three wdrds per minute he adijnsrreiST- _mzr, els., to the one at town tbis way; field-piece on road, jnst this side'," ana - it occupies five minutes. . . „ • Five miles is an'eaey distance to signal; bnt messages een be sent between stations twenty miles apart. The Signal Corps keep on the front, and their services are often of great value. Our troops, in taking possession lore, a month ago, came up In line of battle; with skir mishers out, to pounce upon any remaining enemy. Arriviiigbere, they were somewhat chagrined to bad the flags flying- and learn that these telegraphic pioneers, close upon the lieels'of tlio rebels,had been signalling from the summit loStwenty-four hoars. / ’■ You are on the bfgbegfc point, of the -5*116 Bidgo—four teen hundred feet above the eea,..one thousand above the Potomac, four hundred above XoUdoun-Heights; .Up the ;rocky path by which you camoiclimbs a. oony; on tbs pony’B back a negro; on the negro’s head a bucket of ■water. Behind comes a mule,* with a coffee-sack thrown over his back, and in eaoh end of it a keg of water. Thus all burdens are brought up. . Here is a pyramidal lookout of logs, 25 feet bigii, built as children build cob houses, Climbing to the top, ; you have an unobstructed view. In the early morning here you could only look out upon a cold, white, shore less sea if.fog. How, what a grand panorama! You look down into all the country within a radius of twenty miles, as you look down -into; the great South Park, 75 miles in length, from that peerless standpoint, the sum mit of Pike’s Peak, or as you gaze info your garden from your own housetop. The circle in your sweep of vision, forty miles in diameter, is divided into four parts like the face of a compass—the Blue Bidge crosses it from north to sonth, the Potomac from west to east. ~ , ... Face toward the east. To your right stretches the summit of the Blue Bidge. Xou’ouu Heights, duly a con tinuation of these, srem distant only a stone’s throw. -You see no hint. of any break in the summit. But. they ere a mile away, and the Potomac in its deep, bidden gorge, rolls between. In the tents scattered over them are the troopß of tie second division of the twelfth corps, under Geary. '• ■; * v Beforeyou winds the Pptomao,-it»,ghwsy surfaoebro ken by shrubs, reeks: @ndi islands; the eansl fringing iti; left bask like a faintjine of silver; the Wea verton and Knoxville; and the lonely stone plersTof the destroyed Berlin bridge. .There the river plungwinto the green, wooded hills, and iB lost to view. Ten miles aw»y, sear Point of Bocks, it reappears—a straight, smooth, fisshing her of light. To the left of it; Sugar loaf Mountain; and still further, sweeping around to ward the north, dim, hazy hills bound the view.

On’ Sunday the Tioga was off the Olnb Out, and the Sonoma off the East £i.d; Our people are beginning to , fiol annoyed at the strictness of the blockade, and it is only natural, as all Britishers have a horror of the un derhand.

If such acts be not meant as insult, they most be in mere bravado, and wiil in due time, ao doubt, have to be ac counted for. , ' The “rare” Admiraltimed hisvialtvery well to avoid finding men-of-war here, and, judging from his antece dents, he will not return until he thinka our coast again dear; but to be forewarned is to be forearmed.

If they -- bad said nothing, the House of Bepresentatives, without a doubt, would have declared with one voice that Con gress bad so power to interfere in any manner eo as to , affect or .

By the unfounded apprehensions of i7it gentleman t from, Carolina 07,d Georgia, all the. alarms which have - been spread were caused, I consider the declaration : which we made in a committee of the whole, however, as soon as we were permitted to come to a decuion, will not" only quiet our fears, but put onr slave property on a l surer fonud atioii than it beforo stood; and an interpre tatioji of the powers of Congress given at this time, whan’ ' the intoning of the parties to the Constitution roust be fully understood, may prevent at a future day any im • proper coercive authority’,™ this subject.

From Hie protect appearance, I ,cannot bale ihinkirg that the., assumption will not proceed ; if it Bbouid, it mast wear a' different countenance than it has at present, and the most effectual provision be made fora speedy and fair . settlement of all accccniß I have no doubt negotiations"' have been commenced, and are y et existing, between the: Eastern States and Pennsylvania relative to tbo perma nenteeat of government: the Pennsylvanians endeavor-* ing to make the establishment of the seat of government tbe price cf she assumption. But in this baslness New York is as necessary to carry.the point at Pennsylvania, and it is not probsble that she will be induced to yield up the fcd vantage which shs now has over ber commercial rival- 1 have, therefore, no fears that this negotiation will be productive of an establishment in Pennsylvania. As to the Petomack.
