Assivimary of the Allegheny Bible
Society. --
The.twenty-second anniversary of this so
ciety' 'was held ;in _ the Central presbyterian
Chunk (Dr.. Plumer's) on the evening of
January 21dt. ' The devotional exercises were
conducted by Drs. Plumer,_Pressly, Rev. J.
J. Aiken and Rev. A: R. Bell.
Able antieloguent addresses were delivered
by Re*. 'ClUtiles A. Dickey' and Rev. Henry
Beek. We would be glad to present a synop
sis of the remarks of these gentlemen, which
were exceedingly valuable and interesting, did
not the pressumon the columns of the daily
press forbid.
The report of.tbe Board of Minagers for the'
past year, shows the work of this society to be
in a eMulitien promising—great results from a
little expenditure of time and means, and
such as to encourage the members of the so
ciety.to greaterandmore faithfalexertionit for
the cause. The result of-the exploration
rands by Mr. Davis, the missionary, of the so
•oiety, confirm the belief, that the work of
supply in our deneely populated districts is
never finished, and cannot be suspended for a
year without mr nlarming increase of Bible
destitution being the. result.
Many instances drawn from the experience
of the missionary were given, to show the
power of Divine, truth in its silent operation.on the human 'heart, and which afford mush
encouragement to those. who sustain the yearly
operations of this 'society.
In prosecuting the missionary work of this
Society, the agent visited 3,820 families during
the year and, in th is visitation, found over
300 .fa milies destitute of the sacred scrip
tures. About half of these were supplied by
him, whilst thoothers refund to be supplied.
The subScriptions to the funds of
the society this year, are...k... $1,124 53
The amount collected is 885 25
Leaving outstanding subscriptions
to the amount'of $239 28

• About daybreak this morning, the exten
sive plow works of Mr. John C. Bidwell, loca
ted on Duquesne Way, Garrisonliley, and
Fayette street, in the Fourth Ward, caught
fire and-was badly damaged—the main build
ing being entirely destroyed. The building
was erected for the manufacture of plowsi, and
was one of the most extensive establishments
of the kind in the west. The main works
fronted the Allegheny river, and were 60 feet
wide by 80 feet deep. The walls were brick,
very heavy, and five_ stories high. In the
first and second stories were the machinery
rooms, for iron and wood work; the third story
was known as the wheel room, while the
fourth story was used for painting and storing.
The fifth story was used exclusively for stor
age. The first, second and third stories were
filled with valuable machinery, lumber,
tools, eto.
The fire caught in the paint room, fourth
story, but it is not known how it, originated,
although the men had already gone to work. Owing to the inflammable character ef the
materialhere, the fire spread with great ra
pidity, and soon the main building was com
pletely enveloped. The"firemen promptly
answered the alarm, but their efforts were
devoted mainly blo oaring the foundry and
blacksmith shape, in the roar of the machine
works, and other property adjoining. The
foundry - and smith shops are under the same
roof, and cover *naive of 120 feet square.
While the main building, with nearly all its
contents, fell a prey to the flames, the Loon
' dry and smith shops eeea,ped with compara
tively little damage. The fine, powerful
engine, need in
. propelling, the machinery,
was' in the latter apartment, adjoining the
main building, and escaped with very little
damage--a portion of - the wall and some
heavy timbers having fallen upon it.
These works, as wo hive already stated,
were erected mainly for the manufacture of
plows, and the trade with the South having
been out off Mr. Bidwell had an immense
stock of plows on hind—fully s,ooo—finish
ed and ready for market. Of this large num
ber, not one was saved, 'being stored princi
pally in the fifth story.
Raving facilities for manufacturing all
, kinds of iron and wood work, Mr. Bidwell
had obtained several contracts from the United
:States Government, and has
been engaged for
iseveral months past in the manufacture of
'gun carriages, wagons,Shalls, etc. His' !eat
contract was for fifty gun carriages, only
twelve Of which bad been The re
maining thirty-eight had all been manufac
tured, and erore.4ust being put together pre
, paratory to delivery. They were all destroy
ed, resulting in-a loss of about $lO,OOO. In
addition to this; Mr.-Bidwell has a large con
tract for casting heavy libel's, which business
will be continued without interruption. The
main building is a Mass ofj ruins, but Mr
Bidwell, with that enterprise and perseverance
which has heretofore eharacteriged him, will
rebuild immediately—while the foundry will
be in operation to-morrow.
There was a ve r y latp - amount of seasoned
lumber, in various stages of manufacture,
most of which -was destroyed, but we may
state that enough has been saved to enable
the proprietor to continue the manufacture of
plows without interruption.
The origin of the fire has not been setisfac
torily,aseettaiifed,:but it is supposed to have
resialted from -a
,spark filling into sorrie vai
pentine, as the gas was being lighted. The
greatest care was taken, however, to guard
against fire. There -was not a acme in the
building save one, which was in the ethos.
The whole establishment true bestedby steam,
and lighted with seventy-five gas barriers.
There were two setts of hinds constantly
employed in the works, the "day tarn" num
bering one hundred men. At night the num
ber employed was considerably less.
The office - Wu' in'the main building, but the
books and papers were saved by hauling the
cafe into the street. Mr. Bidwell estimates
his entire loan atsso,ooo, upon which there is
an insurance of $40,000, ae follows

While the plow works were in flames, Nee
breeze being from the south,) numberless
sparks were carried towards the river, where
large quantities of roc/eon - hid been landed in
barrels, and also one flat containing several
hundred barrels in balk, without cover or pro
tection of any.kind. A:falling smirk:ignited
this oil, and a teirible conflagration ensued.
The oil warmeared but a few rods above the
Hand Street Bridge, and as the flames leaped
and roared:hi:the air IF, was fared - that - the
bridge 'eouldliet 'escape: - Adjoining . this flat
was another, loaded with oil in barrels, which
also caught Are. The greatest excitement pre
vailed, and when the latter boat broke her
mooring and escaped all hope of saving the
bridge;was abandoned. The firemen lined the
bridge, morinted the roof, and kept incessant
streams. of water pouring over It, but the
chances looked hazardous indeed. Slowly the
volcanic mime descended, and as it neared the
bridge its progress was *traded by an bid
stump projecting from the first pier, with
MUMd it to stand a moment and then swing
round under the bridge. This was the criti
cal moment, and.as the burning' mass emerged
below, leaving the bridge—uninjured, the air
was rent with the shoats and cheers of the as
sembled spectators. It is thought that - the
dense volumes of smoke-016 smothered the
flames at that moment, saved the bridge.
Another' panic immediately folloikd among
the boatmen_on the Allegheny wha betweio
the Hand street and St. - Clair street bridge,.
The Venango pulled in-her lines and dropped
down the stream aliiiid'of the burning boat,
but the Echo, Belle andCottag• held their po
sitions. They all escaped, although the Echo
was brushed by the flames iiipassing, and the
paints of all the boats were.blistered:
• The St. 'Clair street. •bridge,l the beautifil
iron structure erected at a cost of $300,000,
was also passed in safety,' andlbe flat contin
ued-on its course, illuminating the river_ and
the banks in its descent, and , finally lodging
at the head of Brevet, some two or three miles
below.
The other flat was bunit to Um water's edge,
all the 91th-string beia licked out of M bytho
flames. The oil belonged to Meilia. 'Robert
Ashworth Co., of Allegheny, and was
valued at• $750, -Of warm, there was no in
surance upon it. • • • • • •
It is proper here to state:that there were

The distinguished -Cashier- of the Bank of
Pittsbrirgh, in' the Gazette of folonday,: has
undertaken to reply to certain financial inter
rogatories propounded by a gentleman of Car
rollton, Ohio, in which, the definition of the
'word "par" is given, and why gold is, at a
premium In New York, and bank notes are at
corresponding disconnL The gentleman of
Carrollton is much at fault in his common un
derstanding of ordinary business transac
tions,and financial exchange ; and Mr. Dar
per, in his elaborate e ff ort to make meet. oat,
of very little, has attached grave importance
to the subject, by' at once lannehing off into
exchanges on London,, and setting forth what
every .Iboor , knows, that hanks discount 'notes
and bills of exchange, and receive de g
and per checks, and finally, gnively COll lades
that as to the bank suspensions, now
pretty generally prevailing throughout the
country, it may be considered a "jimmies/ or
political amenity, but is a customary wrong in
(my ) hie judgment," and that "it demoralise
both debtor and creditor !" Also, that "it
removes lota marbtl" And then to continue
his Quixotic tilt against the wind-mill banks
of suspension, and leaving his Saneho Pansa
far laps rear, he sets about_in a dash - to
prove Mitt "seven furlongs are not a mile,"
and that thirty-five inches are-,nat a yard,"
ergo,.."ninety.seven cents-aro net II dollar,"
and thatthe"clearing house" may inake some
of chili suspended New Yorkera" shiver" one
of three days for their "false -lialancesi"
I consider all this remblingliequite irrele
vant th'the wishes of the men of Carrollton ;
and Mr. Harper should simply have stated
that the word "par" is relative and local, and
can'not be of universal-application even to
spesie!or coin, as the eichange is affected or
made to diverge from par by two, classes of
chennistances : first, by any discrepancy be
,
tween the actual weight-or finances of Aid'
rein, or of the bullien for which- the substitute
used in their place will exchange, and their
weigh+ or fineness as fixed by. the mint regu
lations; and nemalg, by any ridden increase
or diminution of the bills drawn in one coun
try upen another.
As to the question of gold being worth a
premium of three per cent. hilly, city of New
- York, over , current bank notes, .or country
bank notes, as the case may be, the -laws of
trade and commercegovern • and although the
notes cif the old Bank of !FutilarriA are par
here, sind payable in specie any time, at its
counter, yet in Montreal or Quebec they would
'not be,any more current than intr suspended
bank notes ; and Montreal end - Quebec specie
paying bank notes would be looked upon in
Pittsbiugh as outlandish; snub en i ,Lneight go

MIMI CONGRESS-FIRST SESSION.
. , W.uousoros, Feb. 8, 1862.
Rol:res.—The House went into Committee of ' ,
the Whole on the State of the Union, and pro
ceeded
to the further .consideration of the
Treasury note bill.
Mr. Kellogg, of 111., said that in ordinary
times he might have some doubts as to the,
constitutionality of this measure, but in this.
extremity, when we ,are struggling for the
national perpetuity, ho was willing to go to
verge of the Constitution in order to sustain
the Government. He regarded this ail a war
measure. In the course- of his remarks he
said we must have no more surrenders of re
bell prisoners, cheerfully made, tho gh Russia,
France,England,Spain and the combined pow
ers of the world demand it.' We net stand
by our integrity, and by the honor of the na
tion, and if we are worthy of the name of a
people we shall be sustained. The exigency
of- the times would - never compel him to-vote
for a bill which is in violation of- the Consti
tution,
for, when Congress violates the Con-
rtitntion it is but mockery to say we are ear- .
rying on a war under that instrument to -
maintain the Constitution, but he argued it
was clearly within the power, of Congress, un
der the Constitution, to make the notes pro
posed a legal tender, and give them- value by
pledging the entire property of the Tuntry
for their redemption.
Mr. Conway, of Kansas, asked leave ko offer
the following, to which Mr. Maynard object
ed, and it went over, unanimous consent being
requited to introduce it :
Itepolved, That the President be requested,
to famits" h the House, if not incompatible, rith'
the publie interests, with the names of all
persons arrested under the order of any exec
utive offieer without legal processes, and con
fined in any of the forts, and other persons of
this country, eiclusive of-persons - taken as
prisoners in the war; the names - Of the forts or
other prisons in which said persons have been
and are confined,- respectively ;_ the date - of
their several arrests, together with a full
statement of, the;charges. and. evidence: upon
which they,were arrested ; alio , the names of
all 'such persons who hare since been dia
charged, the date of. their - several discharges,
and the reasons' for the same. ' • •
The Committee. then proceeded to nonsider
Mr. Cristeld's (of Md.) amendment to etrike
from the bill that which proposes to make the
notes lawful Money, and illegal tender fn payt
mein of all public and private debts.
An lteidental debate ensued, during which
Mr; Merrill, of Vt., mentioned the fact that
the pending.bill was reported by only. half of
the C;onamittee of Ways and Means. The other
four members wish to have it understood that
they are .acvordially united on their own
project as the others arson theirs. The. sub
stitute proposed by him was not his,,partbm=
tarty, but bad been modified' in order. to meet
the views of those who bad submitted amend-
.
Mr. Hickman, of Pa.; thought trial the tax
bill should have been first .reported, and the
basis of credit thus extibited, but having been
informed that the Treasury and - Adthinistra
don regard this as a governmental necessity,
he was disposed to waive the question of prop
erty. He brlelly: argued that - the impress - of
sovereignty`eatild as well' be 'made on paper
as on gold andailver.
Mr. Lovejoy, °LIM, said that if:they com
menced the issue of such - paper, they wiculd not
stop short of paying all the expenses of the
war In depreciated paper, amounting perhaps,
to $150,000,000. He desired to have gm bill
re=committed, with instruotione to frame ono
with a clause, driving bask to their homes '
all
depreciated bank notes . There should be no
paper currency not Dully and readily
iblelute gold and silver.
Mr. Roscoe Cockling viewed-the bill as the
commencement of • a paper system, which
would pin - no:Litre country into an abyss, from
which thire.would be no resusitation and res
nriectibn: '
