Tlie Grand Jury havinrx twice recommend ed tbo building of ft new Court Knnse in Sunbury, on condition Hint the Borough will agree to subscribe Five Thousand Dol lars, in aid of its completion, tlie Borouglt Councils on Tncsdny last pasacd n resolu tion making tlie proposed subscription. On the day following the Board of County Commissioners, took up the subject and by a unanimous rote passed a resolution to build a new Court House in this place. The Commissioners will advertise fr pro posals to be received some time next month, so that the contract may be awarded in Kelt- J runry. That a new Court House is greatly needed, will not be disputed, and by none ; more so than citizens not residents of Suobu- j ry, who mny have, business in the court and j public offices. In that view it was asking much of us in this Borough to pay $5,000 in addition to our proper share of the expen ses. AVe simply state this fact without in tending to complain of the Council in their action. It is but just to say that the pre sent Board of Commissioners, though econ omical in husbanding the resources and finances of the county, having seen the im provements of neighboring placcs,jre not wiiling that our county, second to none in resources and business, should remain any longer with public buildings, not only crumped, uncomfortable nnd unhealthy, but insufficient for the protection of tho public records, involving the safety of our titles to property. This act of the board will re dound to their credit when others ore for gotten. The Commissioners hare not yet decided upon the plan, nor upon tho location, and will not do so before examining some of the buildings of other counties. Some havo suggested the Jail property, while others would prefer the site of the present public offices in Market Square. of the sol diers for this county, are as follows : Lincoln, McClellan, 229 120 340 Total making 310 to be added to the vote of the county. This w ill reduce Mc C'lellair majority in tho county 100. The vote will therefore stand as follows : MeClellanY majority on the homo vote (not 702 as first reported,) 800 Deduct Lincoln's majority on home vote, 109 McClellan's majority in the county, 091 "The 22d of October was the 476th day of the siege of Charleston.

It has never been reduced to the straits of the colonies; its currency is not degraded jet to the condi tion of tho continental money ; it- form of government is better adapted to the strain of war than was that of the colonics ; and the olyect of our administration is more tho rough, wide-reiieliing, and destructive, "than was that of the British ministry. "The claim is indeed identical, but tho object of the claim is differant.

Long after righting commenced, Great Britain could have retained the colonies by yielding her e'liim. Long alter fighting had commenced, we could have had tho Union uuder the Constitution, by yielding our claim ; but we haue chosen to persist, ns Great Britain chose to persist, and therefore we have to conquer as she did not, or to give tip as she did, or to nml a middle course ot safety. "Our intestine trouble we take to be this: The inhabitants of tho Free States determin ed in 1 Kill) to.havea voice about Slavery. The people of the Slave States insisted that under the Constitution, the Free States not only had no voice, but were actually estopped, by good faith to that instrument, from wishing to have a voice. "Is it not perfectly clear that such a dis pute can only be settled by the litter pros tration of tho South physically, or of the Fire States financially, or by tho destruction of tile subject of dispute ''' Is it not atrociously impudent in this Rebel sympathizer to talk of the eaifte of the Union as "our side," and speak of what "ire insist" on, "ec could have had." &e , Ac. as if he were on the side of the Nation and not on that ot the traitors? vOur' in testine, trouble we take to be this," snys this Copperhead : "The inhabitants of the Free States determined in 1SGU to have a voice about Slavery." W.hy, thou foolish juggler !

They had "a voice about Slavery," in 167, when congress, by the vote of every State then represented, decided that Slavery should be prohibited in every square rood of territory then belonging to the United States.

Kcrrral Uott-lft Jet on' Fire. A concentrated and skillful attempt was nmcle last night by secessionist thieves, con spirators and incendiaries to set on fire our principal hotels, though, fortunately at this time of writing, 18: 13 a. m. without success In any instaucc, the efforts of the conspirators being In each case foiled by the early discovery of tho fires and -before tho flames had gathered any dangerous strength Bo fur as our present Information goes, tho plan of operations seems to have been for the incendiury to pile together in some one of the upper rooms of n hotel bed clothes and other combustible materials and having soaked them with turpentine or sprinkled them with a phosphorus to set them on fire , then, having locked the door, to disappear taking thu key with him. That the com munity has been saved from the terrible loss of property and life which might have been expected to attend such a plot, by its fortu nate discovery, is a mutter for profound thankfulness. At 8: 43 last evening the news was tele graphed to the different police stations that, a 11 ro had been discovered on the third floor of the St. James Hotel, Twenty-sixth st. and Broadway. The room in which wn discov ered was locked, and on the door being forced, the bed was found sprinkled with phosphorus, the bed clothes ami other ar ticles in the rooui piled together on t he floor, with a number ot lueiler matches nligin. Happily the tiro was extinguished, the diim nge done being trilling. At 8: 45 p. m. Barnum's Museum was found to be on tire on the stairs leading to lie third floor. That was, after a little trouble, extinguished. At 8: 53 p. m. news came across the city that rooms Nos. 139 and 140 of the St. Nicholas Hotel ore on fire. The same diffi culty with the doors is here experienced, and on forcing an entrance, when the flames are extinguished similar traces of an attempt ed arson are found to exist. Both the rooms were badly burnt, the damage done amount ing to nearly $2,500. The fire was extin guished by the lire-biigadc of the establish ment, under the directions ot the proprie tor. At 0: 20 fire was discovered in one of tho rooms of the Lafarge House; a fire evi dently planned in exactly the same man ner, and attempted through thu same agencies of phosphorus and turpentine, but being early discovered was put out with a trifling damage. At 10:13 the Metropolitan Hotel was found on fire; the tire again being on one of the upper floors, but lieing early discov ered was easily put out, the damage in this case being but small. At lO.iiO p. m. a room on the fifth floor of Lovojoy's Hotel, with door locked, was lountl in Humes, to the great consternation ol the guests, many ol whom had retired to rest ; but by the energetic, courageous, and persistent efl'orts of tlie domestics and Mr. Iluggins, the proprietor, tho fire was got under before it had spread to any other of the rooms. At 12 o'clock an alarm of fire was a second time raised iu Lovejoy's Hotel, when a room on the fourth floor was found on fire, flames issuing from the bed. Alarm was K'ven at once, and by the efforts of the people of the house, assisted by Buch of the guests as were on the spot, the tire was subdued. At . t . i '. . ir... , , At me .'leinqjuuutii iiuii'i, v:tlise v:is discovered in the room which had been on gaiters soaked in some solution ot phospho rus, a solution so strong that when the va lise was taken to police headquarter, open, cd, and the gaiters thrown bn the floor they burst into a flame. Two nrrests were made last night by the police. One was that of a woman who was seen to leavo the St. Nicholas shortly before the fire was discovered, and was .next seen to leave tho Lafarge House, when almost imnuiiediately after her departure a lire was discovered there also, - The woman is know". lint up nrp ro!-t.l not iu ulvo any pirr- j nculurs respecting her nt present. The other person was a man, at present unknown, who was arrested at the Metropolitan. During the evening Chief Engineer Deck el1 telegraphed to all thu principal hotels in tlie city to have twelve or fifteen pails of water on each floor ready for any emergency, advice which'was in most instances follow ed. The damage of the Metropolitan Hotel will amount to more tljun $1,000. The lire was in room No. !302. About midnight a lire was discovered in room No. 23 of the Belmont Hotel. Fuiton ! St., but was soon extinguished. The dam- j ose will not exceed SW. The usual bottle of phosphorus was discovered in between the two beds when the flames had been put out. At 12.30 a. m. tho firemen, returning from the Belmont House, discovered flames in one ot the rooms on the lourth floor ot the Taw many Hotel, i in entering, the fire found to ! be in room No. 108. The door was locked, and the flame3 on entering wero found to proceed from the bed as in the other cases, the means of igni tion being again a bottle of phosphorus. 'i"he damage will perhaps equal $100 from tiro find water. ' StriV t watch was kept at all the hotels during U'st night , the doors of most of them I being kept locked and guarded, so as to pre vent the adn. ission ot uny persons not 1 hume bw puLliuhhi' tltia uutice rtht-ir pa lontiiiij' to the house, while many of the ! 1)L.rj ' ouests preferred u-" sit up all niht in prefer ence to taking thoi-bance of being caught asleep should an alurui be given during the night.

UcUel notes are thus worth & rZZSJtJ the Coulcderucy is typical of its sinking course, and has only a parallel in the old Continental money of the Revolution. The Erst three millions of this was issued, by the authority of Congress, in 1775, to which was added twenty millions in 1776, and twenty- iits millions tour hundred and twenty-six thousand in 1777 Vet four dollucs in notes, after these issues wero made, were still worth one in silver, liut in the fourth year of their existence the deprcciatiou became a rapid as that of rebel' notes has been during the last year, and the future course of the latter is like to be a repetition of their history. In 1778 Congress issued $00,U(J3,. 201) more of this inconvertible paper money, and iu Decemlier that year one silver dollar was equivalent to forty-five paper dollars. In 1780 f 83,000,000 additional was issued, aud after that silver sold at the rate of one dollar to one hundred in paper. In 1781 113,587,000 was added, and ic June that year tho market value of one silver dollur was equal to that of ono thousand in notes. The total issue amounted to 1302,546,822, and tho population at that time was only four millions. Their dowuward course was even more rapid than that of the French assignats during the revolution which fol lowed ten years afterwards, and both be came equally worthless and repudiated by the people.

The English papers teceived by the Mora vian's mails to-day bring full accounts of the tcrriblo cyclone at Calcutta, previously reported briefly by telegraph. This cyclone was unequalled within the experience of persons who have resided in India tor torty years, it burst over aicuua on the 5th of October, ai d desolated a tract of country one hundred and twenty-five miles long. Out of more than two hundred vessels in the Hooghly river, only eight or nine escaped serious damage, and a great many lives wero lost, it appears uini tiunug the whole night of Tuesday, October 4, the the weather ut Calcutta was marked by a succession of squalls and heavy 'rain from. me nuriii-noriiietisi, mill lb iiiniiiiuiuuu same character till about half past ten on Wednesday morning, gradually increasing in violence. The wind then Veered to the east, and began to blow more steadily and Willi increasing tury, I lie weaker trees wero uprooted or broken short, but for the first hour or so no greater danuicc was done. Between 11 and 12o'clotk a noise like that of distant thunder gave warning, as it gradu ally increased, that something worso was coining. In about two minutes from this time the true cyclone was upon the town. Wherever there were tress they were either uprooted and fell, carrying with them, in many cases, walls, railing and buildings, or their brunches wero snapped off like reeds and hurled away with tho wind. Carriages pulkccs were upset, and strewed Iho roads, mingled with the rfw i!iol roots, vcrnandahs, gates, and fallen trees ; corrugated iron roof ings were torn, doubled up, and blown away like sheets of paper. By two o'clock the eastern and southern suburbs ot the city, and those parts of it to the westward which from their proximnity to the maidan and the river were the most exposed, were more or less a wreck. Excepting cocoanut and other pulms, scarcely a tree was nnywhere to be found standing. Tho beautiful aven ues in Fort William were entirely destroyed ; the Eden gardens turned into a wilderness. In Tank Square tho trees and shrubs were blown vvay, and in many parts the iron railings torn up and overthrown. In Gar den Reach the roads were blocked up and rendered impassable from trees that fell across them. The splendid avenue of iimth trees in the compound of the school oppo site St. James' Church, some of which must have been four or five feet in circumference, was entirely destroyed, the trees being snap ped off above the level of the wall which protected them, but which is no longer standing. The scene presented by the shipping (says the Cahmtta Fnytihman of the 10th) ' is in describable. There must be at least one hundred ships ashore, all huddled together in tangled masses in inextricable confusion-, j Yards and masts are hanging about in every conceivable lorm ot wreck, and the scene is one of the utmost desolutiou and ruin. The loss of boats of every description is also enormous; probably nine out of ten were capsi.od and sunk by the storm-wave which followed the change of the wind from east to south, and many of the remainder have been cast on shore. The utmost dill'ciiltv is from this cause experienced in communica ting with the shipping. The Lady Frai.klin, ono of tho wrecked vessels, is supposed to have foundered with all her crew on board, and the Govindpore, off the Bankshull, also went down. There were nine men on board the latter vessel, including the captain, and, were it not for the singular gallantry and courage display ed by a seamen uamed Edward t'leary. they probably might have all nut with a watery grave.

The lronIdeut'a Letter to u Widow, Boston, Nov. 2-V Mrs. Bixby, the re cipient of the following letter from Presi dent Lincoln, is a poor widow living in the Eleventh ward of this city.

''Dkah Madam : I have been shown on the tile of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts, that you are the mother of rive sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. "I feel how weak Hnd fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so over whelming; but I cannot refrain from tender ing to you the consolation that may bo found in the thanks of the Republic they died to rave. "I pray that our Heavenly Farthor may assuago the anguish of your bcroavments, and leave only the cherished mcmorv of the loved and lost, and tho solemn pride thutj mist ue yours, to nave una so cobtly a sac rifice upon the alter of freedom.

Nashville, fov. 80, Midnight, The enemy at i p. m mado Jioavy at tack at Franklin with two corps, but u?r persistent fighting was repulsed at all points with the Ioks of 0.000 killed and wounded. Our loss is about 500. A rebel Brigadier and 1,000 prisoners were taken, LATER. Frakklin, 1ess Nov, 80. to Major Goneral Thotnat : The enemy made a heavy, persistant attack with about two corps, commencing about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and lasting until after dark. He was repulsed at all points with very heavy loss, probably fi.OflO to -6,000 men. Our loss is probably pot more thai; one tenth of that number. We captured abont l.ooo men, including a Kngamer General, "IIoip Wlnaer." The New York Eeening Pott, under this caption, prints a scathing article In relation to the brute winder, who has had tn charge the Federal prisoners in and about Rich mond. When the sufferings of our poor fellows, confined in the Libby Prison and on Belle Isle near Richmond, because known aery of. horror was raised here and in Europe o.vcr the barbarity of th'e rebels. What then did Davis and the other rebel leaders dot Did they order the refitting of the Libby prl ton? Did they court-martial and punish Winder and his subordinates, who propctrated this long serious of cruel outrages? Did they explain that these things occurred without their knowledge, and were disapproved by them? Not at all but when the evidence grew too clear for them: when they found that if these cruel ties continued to be perpetrated under their eyes in and near Kiclunond, they, the rebel leaders, would be every where- held responsi ble for them, they removed the p'risonera. They sent them from Belle Isle and the Lib by to Andersonville; from a place where their cries could be heard and their suffer ings kn)wn, to ono sobscnre, so remote, that no inhumanity practiced there could be Immediately known: a place whero tho prisoners wero in a tenfold degree more at the 'mercy of their jailors. And whom did they send to bo the jailor? The same infamous wretch, Winder whose cold-blooded and systematic cruelties had made the prisons of Belle Isle and the Libby a scandle no longer endurable so near to Davis; the same who known from his early youth at West Point as "Hog Winder,' notorious ever since in the old army for his meanness his abominable cruelty, and shunned as thu pos sessor of every shameful vice, completed his infainy'by the systematic maltreatment of of helpless prisoners of war in Richmond this person was continued in his place, anil was sent by Davis, with his victims to An dersonville. Would this huvo been done had not the intention been to starve and every way ill-treat our men? Would not Davis have s-j'ected some other person to rule over the sufferings of the prisoners ? is not this selections of Winder proof positive that he and his confederates intentionally commit these atrocities?
