This, we hellere," is tlie fourth time that it has been almost destroYed Within less than that number of years. Heretofore, the buildings destroyed were for the most part temporary , structures of wood, 'and 'of course highly inflammable; but the great majority d the buildings destroyed on this occasion were substantial bricks, many of theta supposed to be fire•proof. • We believe that city is not well supplied with water. , High, dry winds arevery prevalent; and ' our experience has.. taught us that no buillEng, however carefully and _strongly constructed, Is fire-proof lin the. midst of tt widespread confla gration.

A large meeting in favor of Scam and Carr trains,. for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, was held on the 14th inst., at Mt. Vernon, Ohio. A'number of Democrats took part in the meet ing. An extract of s letter to the Cleveland Her ald, says: Resolutions strongly in favor of Scan and Currrnsims for the next Presidency and Vice Presidency were unanimously adopted. The Lo toms who have got fat at ,the expense of Whig tax-payers in old Knox, looked awfully "d at the month," and it is evident that neither Cass nor Hourrott con touch bottom in this section in opposition to Scott. He has been spoken of here tofore, and in '44 arid '4B was thought by many to be the choice of a majority of the people in this section, but by management, that expression was kept down, but now, like the long smothered flames of a volcano, itbursts forth with irrepressi ble fury, and wo be with him who dares attempt to check its flood-tide. - .

Unlike the golden brewed neighbors of our slater State, no agent of ours is hawking about our State bonds, to obtain the necessary means todefray the sateen dollars per diem of the all:mance of the members of the Legislature." . - The message states, as an instance unparal leled in the history of the timer, that not a soli tary cue was reported for trial before the regular academe of either the County or Supreme Court during the past year; and no offence beyond the control of a Justice of the,Peace has been cow. , The Governor recommends strongly that capi talists of the State should introduce machinery. for the manufacturing of all kinds of machinery that will hereafter be wanted for factories, Sc. ; I also that stoves and other 'articles of heavy on partition, should be manufactured by the enter ' prise and industry of the people of the Territory, and says that all kinds of inducements should be bald out to capitalists to invest their means In whatever will prose a eafe layettment, and tend to develops the resources and Wealth of the coon -117.

The New York correspondent of the Baltimore Bin says 'in this city, at present, are the bead-guar ten of the friends of the following candidates for the Presidency, viz Mr. Webster, General Scott, Mr. Fillmore, Gen- Cass, Mr. Douglas, Gan.

There are also some mem:ments here in favor of the Toombs and Stephens ticket, which Is Buchanan for President and Howell Cobb for Vico President. - The Douglas and Houston ticket has many friends. So far as the Whip are concerned, Mr. Webster is the favorite in this city, but it is idle to say that the State is cot wider the do minion of Seward. It is folly for the Democracy to look toes State for the support of any dem ocratic e didate. Gen.

The etetement that the Waters of the Upper iituatinsippi ban reached a point sir feet higher than was ever known by the present reddenti, carries with it the idea that each a rise most greatly increase the velocity of the current and overwhelm every thing in its onward course.— Such an ides presents an imatingly inadequate impression of the facts. Upend down this mighty stream there are extensive bottoms on either side, stretehing from one to ten miles to high bluffs, on whose sum mits the table or prairie land commences.— These bottoms, except some of the lowest, form the banks of the river in its ordinary stages. The eon of these bottoms is elluvion of the rich est kind, and holds out strong indttcoments i for farmers to cultivate such land. Many valuable farms are in consequence opened on these Bich bottoms, Generally, the bluffs come b01d.4 to the river, and form its only shore on one side, *ldle on the other the bottom land stretchea =nes into the interior. Those who travel - 4 and down the river are, 'at the proper mare, struck with the beauty and luxuriance of the vegetation, where the firm are not hid den, as is frequently the case, by a thick growth of timber on the river margin of the bottom. With this hrief description, the reader who luta never seen the Iliseissippl will be preparedto comprehend the extent and dreadfulness of Che present ealamity, when be is told that theta bottoms, with their beautiful farms, are now alt ered with water to the depth oi front two ',to eight feet. As rise sifter rise comes down from the upper country, the water spreads itseltorer these bottoms, its only barrier being the `filigh and beetling bluffs, which in many places ft has already reached. This to us is a wise ordination of Providence. In consequence of vent brill given to the flood from above, by pernitiug it to spread ever these bottoms in this way, the strength of;the currdnt in the river proper is riot very materially Increased. The waters might otherwise rush madly down with terrific vela. city, and, being confined to narrow limits greater damage far than by the present order iof things. The reader can form but little conception Cot the immense amount of water that it must take to create this vast longitudinal ocean, Assum ing that all the rivers, with the exceptionhf tlie Ohio, ire now as high as the lfilaiissippl, there is at this moment in the valley of 'the Missis sippi and its tributaries an impromptu sea of fresh water five thousand miles long, aver. aging five miles in width, and fifteen feet in depth. The principal mitigation !hit exhibita, itself amidet allthie distress and deatruetion is, that it has came upon us so gradually as to enable the greatest sufferers to • save their lives... The work of yeirs has been swept away. Hundreds have been driven from their homes, and ace for the present houselese and obliged to take up up their abodes with strangers. But their lives are spared, and by sharing in the eympa. thies and benevolence of those who have net been stripped of their allots they have been,there is yet nausea of gratitude to that Being who cataseth the "waters to flow" for a wise purpose. —Harkey, [A letter to the Editors of the National Intel ligenear, from Burlington, says: "Five years will not place the country in this vicinity in ma good situation as it was before; and thausands ate totallyruined.")
