Pitttt Mxdicwxs. —ln the last Presbyterian Ad*
vacate, Tnos. H. Elliott, M. D., of Allegheny,
takes strong ground agaiubt the practice of clergy*
men certifying to the value of Patent Medicines,
in a Letter to Rev. Dr. McClusbey, who has lately
lent his name for ibis purpose.
Dr. Elliott lays down several positions, whieh be
flhutrateaand argues with very eon»;dersl*!a skil*
and force. Our limits will only permit us to give
the positions, which are as follows:
1. The certifiers lend their influence to sustain
a C-faf of men who are guilty, either or imposture,
or ot conduct incompatible with true chanty.
II the medicine is worth any thing the "Doctor
think*that bothichristian charity and profession*
at honor require them to disclose it for the good
of mankind. He gives Dr. Jenner, as an illustra*
lion, who, whon he had discovered the preventive
power of vaccination, did not.pervert it into a
means of speculation.
2. The certifiers are ignorant of the ingredients
In the various patent* whoso curativo powersthev
endorse ; but even if they knew them, acd their
ordinary medicinal power*, they are iocompeten'
to pass jadgmeot thereupon. The “n* »u’»r "
axiom is as apposite here rb in painting. Indeed,
for more bo. . The rao*t learned and experienced
physician hirnsslf*b!tsn foils to make distinctions,
as to the mode and extent of the curative «pera
tions of medicines, satisfactory to his own mind.
And this ftilnre proceeds from, and is prool 01, hi*
skill. Where the ignorant jumps to sudden and
•are conclusion, the more cnlighuioed be«uates,
pauses, and, perhaps, retrace* his steps.
• 3. The certifiers do great minhiet to the rick in
inducing an unin'elligent andindtscriminalinguse
of the nostrums thus endorsed. This mischief
follows from the incompetent character of the en*
dorsetncnt,as shown above. And the injury dooc
wiU be proportionate exactly to the influence of
Iho individual furnishing the certificate. Hence
clerical certificates aru the ones most to Ni dep
recated. The opinions of oo other class of men
• exert so much influence in a community.
ThaDoctor advises clorgyra-n, under this head,
that what may have cared him may not cate an
other. . The old 'rale of “ What is good for the
goats is also good for the finder,” is not applicable
to medicine.
4. The certifiers lay themselves open to the two
charges of an uninformed, and, therefore, unbe*
coming interference, and an improper disregard
oftbe vices and rights of the medical profession,
v Under this head the writer is very severe, but
wo can only take an extract. Speaking of the
medical profession, the Doctor says .
DoCTsbe ask too orach when the demands that
the members of that profession {the clericitl] ac
knowledgesnnd respect her rights ? She, tb« very
best anthorityjn the matter, has declared, and on
the highest mbral . consideration's that the whole
system of patent rgedipinca—of secret cosinrtns —
is “ fneonsistent with beneficence," equally “ de
rogatory nod repreahnsib'e; ” and is her voice
logo for naught? -Is nor demand too exacting
when she claims this nxvher special province ?
The ease is a plain one. Wilh the same propri
ety that the reverend clergy raraish certificates to
.patent medicines, might the physician endorse the
inanities and blasphemies of Jo Smilhs’a Mormon
Bibb, or dictate to the dying mkn whe and of
what sect the clergyman shall be that ministers
by his bedside! \
WasHtaoroJiV Eisth Dat.—To day is iberan
niverary of him who was “first in war, first in
peace,and first in the hearts of his countrymen,
la the contemplation of the history of this great
and good man,thehesrt is crowded with feelings
of mingled emotion. Washington lived not fj r an
age, bat as a beacon light and example fur hia
countrymen to emulate until the end of time.—
“His virtues, says a writer, can hardly be equall
ed, certainly never excelled.”. Circumstances
gavo him opportunities for exertions that no man
ever had before, or can probably have slier him 1 *
—he united all the great characteristics of a war
rior, with a statesmanship equal to any emergen*
ey,.blended with a purity and simplicity of char*
■cler, of wbieh history can afford no parallel.—>
• Party distractions never roovej him, party preju*
dices never swayed him from doing his duty.—
He was alike calm and undismayed amid the de
nunciations and startling prophecies of hnwily
enemies ss if all was peace and sunshine. He
contemplated with great core, and acted with un
equalled decision. He read pen with equal s»-
gacity, and selected his officers for their talents
andprobity. He was seldom wrongio bis'judg
ment* He may hsre committed errors, but never
did any foolish acts. He was truly In every res
pect the Fsthcr of his country. In her prosperity
all his fondest desires seemed to have been con
centrated,and his last breathings were, that 1 ‘God
would*continue to smile upon her.” On the re
turn of this anniversary or his birth, it is well lor
nil, pause and reflect upon the character of this
filuatrious man, and also of those who were to
temporary with him in what may truly be termed
the “Btrpic age.* Can any American content*

Tax WxrrxxjilUzuaiß.—A few days ago, •
Urge md road Meeting was held at Mansfield,
Ohio, to promote the construction of the Ohio and
Pennsylvania Railroad, through Richland Conn*
ty*
The proceedings are reported in the BfaujUld
Skidd. Mr. Larwill, one of the Directors, at
tended, and we make the following extract from
his speech.
“It depends upon yon of Richland, to say
whether onr road .shall , halt-in It* ptogzen when
it reaches LoudonvQle, or whether it shall be
pushed onward through your county.
You have now no director In yonreonnty. The
people of Pittsburgh have done the moat for the
road, sad they very fairly claim to have the moat
to say ia the management of the road. The tub-,
ject it becoming of more and more inter*** to
them. They assist no other project, and this will
receive their undivided support- They now wish
to construct that part along the rivar with their
own money, which of itself will do a remunerating
business.
They desired a quorum of the Board at Pitts*
burgh, and consequently the city has fourdirec
tors, while Ohio has three. The Board Is ihoa
more efficient, and Ohio ia represented along that
portion where there is now any progress making.
As the Director nearest to Richland, I am re*
quested by the Board, to watch the interests of
the road in this county, and I hope the little assist
ance I may be able to give will be as cheerfully
received as it ia cordially offered."
Mr. Stranghan, the President Engineer, also
addressed the meeting, and explained the potieV
of the company.
Mr. Pnrdy, of Mansfield, then aroee, and said
be had a resolution which he proposed offering.
He knew this county had been alow to move, and
he considered this whipping well deserved.—Old
Richland was sneered at by our neighbors—the
counties West ofca. Crawford with her $150,000
trying to lodoce tow rail nod to come through
their county, they might well sneer at us, bat. be
hoped not long. Richland could, and would, re
deem her st*nding,*nd he believed an organised
effort would undoubtedly succeed. To test this
opinion in this' fall meeting, he would offer the
following resolution:
Eaolcnd, That we esn,and will, raise the ne>
eessary amount of stock to grade and bridge the
Ohio and. Pennsylvania road through Richland
county.'
Mr. Bartley hoped every man would vote in
accordanoe With hit opinion. The propriety of
making the effort now depends upon public opla*
ion, and be hoped to bear it clearly expressed in
tbe vote. Some further remarks proving that a
oombined and earnest effort would succeed, were
made by Mr. Bartley, when the resolution was
unanimously adopted.
Mr. Brinkerhoff spoke on the mode of organis-
ation, and offered a resolution that when this meet
ing adjourned, it adjourn to meet every fortnight,
to hear the report of the committees engaged in
procuring stock. A resolution of thanks to Messrs.
Larwill and Stranghan, was also adopted, sod tbe
meeting adjourned.
We are glad to see this vigorous motion on the
part of the cUiieas of Riehland county, and we un
derstand that the smoant subscribed ia the conn*
ty now amounts to one hundred thousand dollars.
Califoxhu.— *Tho Baltimore Ameriean says that
there are at the present time a larger number of
vessels loading at that port, for Califoraia, than at
any one time tinea the discovery of the golden de
posits* in that distant region. The same is tree of
all the Atlantic ports, while passages by the steam*
ships, by the way ef Panama, are engaged for
months ahead. Notwithstanding the diaeonraging
accounts which are received by every arrival, of
the poverty, sickness, and death, of many of those
who have tried the golden land, thousands of oth»
era are ready to ruahrinto the vortex, and risk ev»
ery thing which makes life desirable, sad even Hie
itself, to try their luck in the desperate venture
for wealth.
Among the vessels now departing, many ef
them are loaded with Inmber, and other building
materials. The ship Louisa Bliss, of Beaufort, N.
C., left that port on the 4th intt-, for Son Francisco.
Among the articles composing her cargo we notice
212,000 feet lumber, (70,000 feet of whieh are in
bouse frame*) aud 30,000 bricks. The ship is said
to have drawn 16 feet water when she left her
moorings, and went to sea in 40 minute*..
The aggregate receipts of California gold at the
Untied Slates Mint, up to the 15<b init, have been
about eight millions of dollars, and it la estimated
that tome two »wiiu«n>* more have teen taken to
tbe branch mints, and that probably half a million
is in private hands, making the aggregate el Cali
fornia gold brought to tbe Atlantic seaboard abonl
ten and a hall miflion* of dollars.
THE lIARnOSIOCI DEMOCRACY OF*
NEW YORK.
Tbe following spirited account of the late Lo*
coibco meeting at Tammany Hall, we takelrom
the New York Tribune. It will be aeso with
pleasure by our reader*, that there ia but little
prospect ofharraony among the discordant ma
terial* which form the unhallowed coalition of the
divided Democratic party of that State:
THE ROW AT THE WIGWAM.
Old Tammany was the acene of an unusual
amount of the most inteaae“Uaion and Harmony”
on Saturday evening leal. A call for a mats meet*
ing of those opposed to the Wilmol Proviso, sign*
ed by Edward C. West, James T. Brady, Daniel
E. Sickles, Robert J. Dillon, and ten others of the
Hankerest of the Hanker General Committee, had
been several days publicised in the papers. Huge
posters had been stuck up throttghoat the city,be
seeching the. faithful to boon hand. Tbo public
sentiment lor the occasion had been carefully pre
pared and embodied in- a aeries of resolutions,
boiling over with patriotism and sich. It bad all
been arranged who should figure as offiaera, and
that Chat. O’Conor, James T. Brady, Daniel El
Sickles, Robert H. Morris, Edward Strahin, John
McKeon, and Frsoeia B. Cutting, should do the
•peaking; and to all appearance things bade tair
for a “decided demonstration." But alas for the
uncertainty of Iranian calculation 1 CapL Rynderi
Ex Aid. Pardy and other*, who dfduT aign the
call for the meeting, were on the spot a little too
early for those who did, and taking possession of
the committee room and the large Hail, had every
thing their own way, . - Capt. Ryoders opened the
hall by nominating Mr. Purdy for the Chair,
which he took amid a tempest ofyelli, hisses and
groans. Mr. Sickles made hia way to the aland,
and nominated' Chaa. O'Conor for Chairman,
when he was immediately “hustled out.”' reach
ing the bottom oftbe stairs in a somewhat dam*
'aged state, and begging for dear life. SeveraloU}*
era, who ventared to murmur disapprobation at
the proceedings, were rudely ejected from the
Hall.
The chairman read a aeries of resolutions smid
such turmoil and confusion that it was impossible
lor soy cootdderable portion of those present to
hetra word.be uttered. Tbevotewastakenand
the resolutions declared adopted, though a good
many voted Nay. The first Resolution (as print*
ud) assarts that the hopes of Freedom forth* world
are centered inlbs perpetuation of the American
Union. The seeood cells down terrible impreca
tions on the beads of those fanatics, whether North
or Snath, who are plotting disunion. The third
advocates a strict construction of ihoGooattration.
The fourth asserts the duty of Congress to admit
California as a Slate. The fifth announces what
"will probably be interesting news to those who
left Tammany with acre beads, vie that “the di
visions in tbe Democratic party have been happily
adjusted,." The same resolution rejoices la the
antiripabqn of victory “with all its attendant blew*
fogs tothexwuntry." Of course tbe Spoils are not
ionlnded in (he "attendant blessings.”
After til adoption oftbe resolutions, yells were
given for Ryndefe, Brady, and others. The Cap
tain took the standNrad, after gesticulation to (he
groaning and growhngmeaagerie for about fifteen
minutes, he was heartK to say, “Put that white
livered scoundrel out of the house!" (referring to
an obnoxious individual with a a hooking bad hat).
The mandate was obeyed, and. comparative quiet
having been restored, the greatsgun of tbe ptrty
west on with hla speech, in tbe‘bonne of which
be declared Mm-dt not only in favofrpf a union of
the ‘Democracy,’ but very decidedly favorable to
a ooaUnuance of the present Union of thei Ameri
can States. So tbe Country is tafo at Ink.
' Hr. l*oreoxo B. Shepard followed in a speech
about the Union, Gen. Jaekson/and the Syracuse,
Utica, and Herkimer Conventions. Tbe- other x
Speakers were Judge Groves of Texas, and Henry
Arculariua. Others were loudly called for-by
those who had not seen the bills and didn’t seem
to understand when tbe farce was over, bat the
knowing ones made a rash'for the door, tbe gas
was turned off, and thus ended the Great Union
Demonstration.
Wo heard one. Free Softer congratulating an*
other on the result as a Free Boil triumph, bat the
other replied, “You were not present, 1 reckon,
when those tremendous groans were given for tbe
iVilmot Proviso, and Martin Van Baren." The
fuel is, tbe whole quarrel has nothing to do with
principle, but isi a scramble to see who ahall be at
the head of the party, and ao aland the best chance'
for spoils, in case lira people of the city ahall ever
again ao far forget themselves as to submit to loco
loco rale.

Disunion*
Tbe following pungent article, upon the aubjeet
ef disunion, we copyf from the Baltimore Ben,
one of the oldest and most energrric papers in the
Uoion. Coming ai it does.from one of the leading
paper* of Maryland, it may be considered as ex
pressing the 'sentiment* of the people of * alave
Slate, upon this important question, and it there-
fore commend* itself to tbe BUeullou of the entire
Union. Wo feel oosored thst the view* which the
Sun takes upon the subject will meet a hearty re
sponse ia the heart of every ciiixen—whether liv
ing north or snath ofMasan and Dixon's line —who
truly, sud properly estimates the valae of odr
present glorious Confederacy.
Ducicoa.—Some ef onr contemporaries and
tome of onr correspondents, will persist in aoticK
paring the possibility of disunion. No sooner bts
tbe good ship of State thrown off the “threaten*
ing” surge like spray from her bows, than again
we hear the cry from some scared landman,
•« breakers ahead l" True, true eaoogb, there are
“ fireofiar*” and those who choose to go out from
the ship into their own, frail, tinny bark, will not be
•low to find them. Singly, or In'fleets, they will
but dare the tempest that mast overwhelm them.
From tbe south or from tbe north, ue same inevi
table fete mermccs the foolish adventurer asd bia
craxy bark. Happy it will be nr them if the
staunch old ship should still be within helping di* -
laneo of their drowning cries. And ooce aboard
again, what a fate moat await them there. The
dirtiest powder monkey who has stood fast by the
ship will decline with proper dignity, tbe equivocal
honor of their acquaintance.
Bat tiers isi question which seems to hire been
overlooked by Ue agitators of disaaion. Who is
to carry oat the practical department of the pro*
joctl We could split the Union into fragment* by
a stroke of the pen, and declare It deaotred beyond
remedy before the next lease of the San; but we
should be at a lota to know where, to look for a
corporal’# guard to help us to carry out the notion.
; We we see oar good citizens pazssingby on
' the other side, throwing a glance of pity this way
in quest of the man who dissolved the Union.—
Perhaps some half a dosan loafers—and we dsn’t
know bat we may slander to that extent even that
fashionable »hf of society —might discover a
* hale gratuitous notoriety with nothing
more disastrous «*»■« a lunatic asylum ahead, and
taieahand’sturnforadsyortwo with us. But what
would all the real of the folks be at f Would tbe
agriculturalist desert the grateful labltr of his teem*
ing glebe; the artiste, the ringing sphere of tbe toil;
the merchtotl the profitiblo bustle oT the counting
room, to rally around the traitorous rag sallied
with the word “ disunion P 1 Is there one of our
readers who woold not resent the suspicion that
he could be relied upon in Boolean event?—
p»~nt u, aye, and with stinging indignation
too.
An •< Old Farmer," writing to the National In*
telltgeneer from the good old Stale of Maryland,
talks in the following sensible si rail to this point o>
the subject:
*‘ls Mason’s and Dixon’s Use to be the division?
By no means; the State of Maryland will not per
mit it. Does any 000 suppose that Maryland will
consent to be a dot Jer district, subject to tbe con*
slant incuraiona of smugglers, pi node retired rat*
ran den from both aides ? I*t ud suppose our
selves placed for a short-time In this city of Balti
more. We than sees succession df ■hipe.stesm
- boats, canal boats, railroad cars, wagons, and su»
ges, arrivng and departing every bodr in the day,
loaded with passengen and merchandise. They
communicate with tbe east, the north, tbe west,
and tbe sooth. Everybody is busy loading and un
loading them. Nobody baatiroe to tJUai of disu
nion, teach lest to pat it in practice. Besides, Bal
timore Is now earnestly engaged inW-xtending her
railroads to the north and the weal Is a lew yean
Sbe has good reason to expect hercbmmerce will
be doubled. Does any one sappoae that she will
rive on all this tide of prosperity for the rate tf
following the baleful wildfire of disunion.”
Tbe writer also undertakes to speak for Virgin
ia, in thiswise:
“She loo,is pushing-*her railroads and canals
ft tbe Aiieghanies fb reach the waters of the
Ohio, la a few yean Ute immense proJocts of the
Dortbweatern Sates will be pooriog into her lap,
and half a million of people will be assembled at
Norfolk and Richmond to onload railroad cars and
- canal boats from the west and dispose of their car
goer. . She baa notime to think of disunion; nor
does she wish to bring Canada five hundred miles
nearer to her borders by converting the Sute of
Ohio iato a foreign territory."
And as for the Northwestern States, tho “ Old
-Farmer,” shrewdly intimates that they will certain
ly not relinquish their market atNewOrieaos. Bat
add to this:
“la a few years tbe United States will be en*.
gaged in making a railroad from tbe waters of tbe
Mississippi tothe Pacific oeaan—a work ot great
er labor tun tbe wall of China or tbe pyramids of
Egypt. In a few yeaiy more a hundred iron bora
sea,'with longs of brass and boots of steel,
will be thundering through the passes of tbe Rocky
Mountains,each with attainofahuodred railroad
can in hla rear. The merchandise they bnng from
India and Chins, will be distributed along the vaU
ley of tbe Mississippi from New Orleans to the
Lake of tbe Woods. A hundred other railroads
will transport a share of it to all tbe cities on tbe
Attests, aod much of it will find its way to
Earape. WIU any one, under these circwnaian.
cea, have time or inclination to talk about disu*
olon.”

This being petition day in tbe House, noth
ing was done in that body beyond tbe presentation
of petitions, mostly of a private character, and a
few reports from committees upon subjects which
have, heretofore, been noticed. Towards the close
'oftbe session, Mr. Conyogham, chairman of the
Committee of Ways and Meant, made ao effort to
get'bp tbe General Appropriation Bill, but failed.
After that the bill appropriating 83,000 to re-con

oamo npontaocmsideralioD, and was again voted
down. It is tka general wish of the Houae that

halfol tbe indulgence font baa already been grant
ed it, bad it not been for the strong Loco toco
character of tbe County.
Any thing that will (bater'Locofocoism, any

WaanmoTOS, Feb. 19,1850—8 r. u.
So far aa appearaneea indicate the revolution
threatened by Cliogman, in his late incendiary
speech, has commenced. In pursuance of their
purpose of keeping oot California, “ at all hazards
and to the last extremity," the slavery faction has
been deliberately engaged, since twelve o’clock
this morning, in'consuming time by calls of tbe
yeas and nays npon pro forma and frivolous mo-
tions, as a means of staving off action, and atop'
ping the wheels f»f legislation.
Gov. Doty, of Wisconsin, this morning, moved
a resolution instructing the Committee on Territv
riea to bring in a bill for the unconditional admis
sion of California. A motion to lay this resolution
on the table was defeated—ayes 70, noeslSl.
Thia was so significant, an indication of tho tem*
per of the House; upon thia great question of tho
day, that the ultra men from the slave States took
the alarm, and instantly resolved to bring their
tactics into play. But tbe free Stales moved on
one step farther, they called the prevlona qucs»
lion. It was seconded—ayes 90, noes 72.
Then began the revolution a la Clingman. Tbe
question waa on.;applying the previousqnestion.
The aontbern members wore determined that thia
motion should not be put, because it it were the
House would bo to the direct vote on the
instructions. The game was therefore commenced
of calling tbe yeat and nays on motions lo adjoprn,
which alternated with motions on tbe part of
southern membejs to be excused from voting.—
Aa this, amusement has been going on lor eight
hours, the roll tits probably been called about
twenty ?wo times. - f
What the result will bo u u impossible now to
tayj both parties appear determined to adhere to
their positions, and to sit all night, but, in contests
of thia kind, the'minority has always tho sdvao*
I*6®, *°d 1 therefore presume that, ere morning
dawns, our friends will have yielded on this par.
llenlar point. Some ct them think it of tiule con*
sequence, or, rather, think it of little uw la urge
the House to maintaiu a conflict with the minority
upon a point of secondary importance, when the
rules give tbe latter such a manifest advantage.
Still, as I have said before, it often becomes a mat*
ter of vital necessity to adhere to a stand once la«
ken, though it be not the exact spot on which the
final trial of strength is lo be made.
It was noticeable to day that Mr. Buchanan
stood In the middle aisle, at the most critical stage
of the proceeding*, exerting his infiaenco' over
the Pennsylvania Democrats, to indace them to
oppose the demand for the previous question, and,
of course, the final passage of the resolntion of in.
•traction*. I observed that one or two member*,
•apposed to be more especially under old Book’s
nod and beck, obeyed his wishes and directions
by going through the tellers against the previous
question.
The rumors respecting a change in tbe Cabinet
continue. I have stated the substance of them in
previous letters, and shall venture no farther spec-
ulations npon this delicate subject.
I learn from the best source* that the Democrats
expect to pass (he Bradbury resolutions calling
for tho reasons for tbe dismissal of Democratic of
fice holders, and that they will not act upon auy
moro appointments, unless under ipeetaJ circum
stances, until an answer bn received. 1 stiD donb*
whether they ean pass the resolution, and, if they
do, I very much donbt whether the President wil 1
answer it.
Mr. Meredith haa'a levee, this evening, which*
from the notes of preparation perceivable in sceis]
circles, may well be expected to be a crowded and
brilliant affair. For the sake of the fair and ca«i%

ties will preelude my prenence, at the entertain
ment, for it would be gratifying to me to take for
them a reap <f at/of the festive scene, in which,
beyond • d iabt, tbe dnngbtera of tbe Old Key
stone will bold a gay pre-eminence.

wrought so much mischif, occasioned a.) mnsy
fires and aacrifieed so many lives. The great fire
io San Francisco was auribnted lo the bursting
of a camphene tamp, as have been other destrnrf-
ive fires. Many persons have been maimed for life
by this fluidtaking fire while they have been usi* g
it, and many have been bnrnedto death. The sale

must be impressed with a lively scots of its dan

Painful Calashtt, wm rra Mokal —Ob Sat
urday evening, a daughter of Mr. RutusS. Km?,
about lfiyetraofaga,residing at 170 Greenwich
•reel, near Abingdon Square, via ao dreadfully
burned upoo ber armaaod cheat, tb&t her life i*
iu jeopardy. She waits at a neighbor’* bouse,
where the lady wat cleaning a pair of soled glove*
with camphene. Miaa King remarked that abe
would clean her own, and pouring out the liquid,
rubbed her gloved band* together, and then went
to (be fire to dry them. She wsa canciona not to go
too near, a* eampheno was inflammable, and ju»t
ta she replied abe would be caucioui, the gas evol
ved by this dangerous liquid instantly took fire.
The flames at once caught ber dress, and in her
tenor abe ran and threw her arms directly around
the seek of the lady abe waa eluting. Her
were frightful, and in struggling to release herself
from the burning girl, they both fell open the floor.
In the meanwhile a aevant girl‘ ran in and with
greattpreaeoee of mind, pulled op the carpet which
aha threw about ber, while the lady of the bouse
went for water. She relumed as aoon a* porai
hle, and taking away the carpet, which had only
smothered the fire, threw on the water and ex
tinguished what ;
Medical aid waa bad almost immediately, and
it was found that her bands, arms, neck and cheit,
were dreadfully burned, almost to the bone, and
her face also badly scorched. Hereuflerlugs were
excruciating, and it was feared on Saturday night
abe weuld.no! survive. Last evening Dr.' Kings*
ley, (he physician, tbooght ber li/o might lie prc»
served, but it is doubtful, ffahe survive#, whether
her arms or hand* will ever be capable of use.
More than five minutes must have •lapsed before
the fire was extinguished, and during tbia time
ber agony was frightful. The clothes of the lady
of the house, and ber neck and hands, were &Im>
considerably injured by the flames.
This painful calamity adds another to many for
mer admonition* concerDiogtbeaseofeatnphene.
It moat be remembered, it is not necessary that a
flame should come In contact with thin liquid to
ignite It The gaa which i* evolved when cam
pheoe is poo red from one vessel to another, or
Which la thrown off by sudden evaporation, a* in'
the case oftho drying of the gloves befaro a fire,
is the source of peril. Let this painful accident,
and the suffering from it, bo remembered as n
warning.
The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser publishes a
etter from a yoong man in California to hia motf.
ler in that city, which shows to what extent the
pernicious vice of gambling is practiced in the

Dec. 23d, and says.—
Apparently there ia but one business in the
town, and that is gambling. One young man re
cently laid a thousand dollars on rouieito table,
and,at one turn oftbo wheel, won twenty seven

He went alright back by (he steamer. Two hun

The great fire vti first discovered ahortly after
midnight, on the morning of the 16th. The bnild
io( tn which it originated, contained jnnch com*
bnatible material, and a pretty atroog wind blow*
iog at the' time, caused the flames to spread rapid

including the Picayune,buildings and some tea or
twelve in Bank place. -They were mostly all store*.
Five insurance offices are among Ihcbmldiogsde
stroyed.. The New York San Mutual Insurance
.Company, it is said,will loose aboot one hundred
and flfltr thousand dollars by this calamity.
The Picayune establishment was almost wholly
destroyed. They saved scarcely any oftheir type
or fixtures —fortunately, however, their loss is
mostly if not wholly covered by insurance. True
to the proverbial spirit of enterprise which char*
accrues the proprietors or this excclieat joarasJ, |
they did not remain long idle, and this morning the :
Picayune is out on its usual rounds, not so neatly
printed but looking very well. Itgiret an account
of the fire, and estimates the entire loss tut'
tsined by this disaster at about ono million of
dollars.
