Ik broke out on ihe night of the election, on J 1200 houses, the letter ays, have been consumed. . , -While the fire was raging, four or five mon chartered a steamboat n.td proceeded to San Francisco, w ith a view of pmcliasiiij? nncl monopolising nil the lumber theic, ami Jl the provisions their money and credit would enable them to secure. They wme landed in a small boat from inn sisamrr North Beach, and sho remained a few mile out in the Bay, refusing to land any other passengers for several hours, until those had time to accomplish their pmposc. The steamer then came to her wharf, and the news of tho fire became public. Lumber went lift in their hands, lo four hundred dollars a thousandmore than three hundred percent advance. Flour advanced' to $45, Poik to $55 and SCO, and other Provisions in proportion. Goods to the amount of several millions have already been shipped from San Erancisco to Sacrnrarmlo, and tire demand is yet brisk. A.large number of wooden build ings have been taken down hero and sent to that city.. Several hundred temporary build ings have already been elected there, but the rainy season is upon us, and it must present a melancholy scene of sulTcriug, sickness and destitution. A lady next door to the place where the fire originated) is also supposed loot. The number scorched is enormous, all of w hom were carefully cared for by surgeons on board the Camanche. Every assistance possible was ptoffeied by the Captains and Agents of tho steamer?, w hose vessels wero crow ded with female's. Tho Levee was tr3wn with goods of every description, and the wind slanting southeast threw the sparks from the goods, all of which were saved. At 5 o'clock the fire had nearly ceased, the smouldering embers throwing huge ulouds of smoke and lurid flashes, that brought de solation to the hearts of all who witnessed the sickening sight. The losses cannot be less than five million of dollars. Incidents of the Fire A shooting af fray took place during the fire, whore a Mr. Rut received six bullets in his body, nei ther touching a mortal place.

The bodies of lines men weto found on fho wharf yesterday morning, wrapped in blankets.

SlXllfltV AXO EIUE RAILKOMI.. Having been, within a few days, over the New York and E.ie. Railroad to Dunkirk and ' Erie, and wilnosscd ihu increased business on Iho road since Iho Lake Shore road-has been completed lo Cleveland, I am unable lo j suppress my astonishment at the snpineness ' el oar citizens in noi niing up mo mscup lians lo the Suubury and I'.iie Uailroad stock. The various depots on the New York and Erio road are filled up w ith beef, poik, flour, and clover seed in b.urel", besides hog,, dead and living,, going on to New Yoik, to be, packed for sale. At the huibor of Dunkiik there was also a large propeller, loaded with dead hogs, cloverseed and butler, unable to discharge, owing lo the want of whait room, the Road Company paying $75 per day for bc use as a warefiouse. At Erie, I saw, in a day, twenty-one cars loaded wilh each G000 lo 8000 lbs, dead hogsi passing over to the Now Yoik load. Tho freight agent assured mo that (iftcecn of these cars would have gone to Philadelphia, if there bad been a toad from Erie. When our fiiends of the Council witness what I have 60 recently, and count the cost of a di rect communication w ith iho ' Qucetiof Har bors," as Erie long since has been named, I think they will airive al the opinion that at least ten millions of do'.lais would be well expended in making and furnishing w ith de pots a double track road. The New York and Erio road cost 30 millions, with the State gift. Besides this, New Yoik has her canal and Noithern railroad costing over 40 mil- j lions; all directed tothis great end, the Lake trade! Are we too fur off ftr our invest ment to be lucrative ! We are nearer the Lake at Erie by 95 miles than New Yoik is by her nearest route.

Several of our exchanges have, recently, come to us with a hand bill enclosed. Now this i3 not only violating the postage laws, but it is meanly abusing a privilege granted to the Press. An editor who will permit his paper to be used as a screen, to cover a fraud upon the department, by cir culating hand bills, must have had his mor al sensibilities considerably blunted, or else his moral preceplions are too muddy lo en able him lo discriminate between right and wrong. In some instances, these bills were furnished, already printed. In such cases, the publisher circulating them, is simply paid for abusing Ins privileges, to delraud the government.

SUNMJHY AMERICAN AND SHAM.OKIN J OUKNALT SPECIAL AUDITORS Have been engaged the past two weeks in re-audiling Iht accounts of the three last Treasurers orthe County. They were ap pointed by Ihe Court, tinder a special act of the" legislature. Tire auditors are Wm. I. Greeno'Jgh, S. D. Jordan & S. John, Esqrs. Their report, we presume, will not be known until it is presented (o the Court in January next. The auditors are compe tent men, and we trust their report will fully adjust and explain matters that have, for some years past, been the cause of va rious rumors and slrange conjectures. The accounts of some of our Treasurers, it is said, have been very loosely and imperfectly kept, resulting, no doubt, from a want of a proper know ledge of the subject. This is one of the difficulties incident to the popu lar system ol elections, and for this very reason, the people should be more guarded in their selection ol officers. The office of auditor is perhaps, in some respects, the most important in the county. It is their duty to investigate and examine the ac counts ol the Treasurer, Commissioners Slc A good auditor, should net only be a good accountant-, but haya some practical know ledge ol business, and there are but few, who are, what may be termed, such, even among business men. Yet we often find; persons elected, wholly incompetent to dis charge the duties of the office, honorable and worthy men loo, but who have had no to that efl'ect, will be presented to the next, legislature..

Let ' our friends be patient, another year more and this trouble at least, will be ended. We could wish no ami-railroad man a worse penance than a ride to or from the Junction, ovor the present abominable roads, and under the "shocking bad" and even dangerous staging on that rout. On Tuesday night Ihe stage broke down below Liveipool, leaving the passengers l find- their way on foot to that place through the darkness ami mud ; and Thursday morning the coach lip set between Shamokin Dam nnd Northum berland a thing that it came within a hair's breadth of doing the night before on the same spot.

Strange as it may appear, when the Erie road is finished from this place, a four hours ride., through a rich and fertile cpunlry, oyer aggrade not exceeding three, feet to the mile, will take us into the midst ol this nosv wild and almost inaccessihle r.rion, but which is, ere long, destined' In lie a flourishing porti&n of our commonwealth.

Pierce will have a Cabinet nf his own, and no re storation of the Cabinet of Mr. Polk. Gen. Pierco will not be overshadowed by Presi dential aspirants, nor by men. who may be committed to a particular policy. lie will have a Cabinet of comparatively young but cnergolic men, if ha cannot pursuade Gen. Cass to accept Ihe State Department. In the latter case Gen. Cass will remain Ihe Nestor of the Senate, mid the person in that body on whom Gen. Pierce wile-mainly rely for support. Under such auspices, it is hardly lo be apprehended that Ihe affairs of the government may take a wrong turn. Mr. P.. M. T.
