The City lintel. immediately oppoAt e the fire,
with several other among the best buildings in the
city, Were in imminent danger, and vt ere some
what injured by the heat. but foitunately there
was a perfect calm, otherwise thew is no telling
where the tire would have stopped, and it w aswith 1
much exertion and hard labor, that it was arrest
cd where it was. The citizens generally deserve
Intich credit for their exertions in saving the adja
cent buildings. They did all they could do under
the circumstances, but us their is neither engine,
hook or ladder. in the city, it is not to be wonder
ed at, that the flames could not be arrested, raging,
as in this instance, in the midst of a block of dry
pine buildings. We hat e not the least hesitancy
in saying, that with a good engine, a part at least,
of the property destroyed, could have been saved.
The fire is supposed to be the work of an incen
diary, but suspicion, we are told, rests upon no one.

Meeting of the Tilghman Society.
At a special meeting of the Tilghman Literary
Society held on Tuesday afternoon, a Committee,
consisting of J. T. McClure, S. Fleming, and J.
Kennedy, to draft resolutions expressive of their
feelings at the decease of the late Rev. Dr. Bruce,
vvg appointed, and reported the following, which
were unanimously adopted :
Whereas, An over-ruling Providence has called
us to mourn the loss of our revered preceptor, Rev,
Robert Bruce. 1). D., to whom e were bod by
the strongest ties, and IA horn We respected, un loved
and venerated as a teafter, a father and a friend.
Therefore. •
Resolved, That with, feelings of deep -and poig.
nant sorrow we -have received the mournful
intelli
Bence of his death.
Resolved, That whilst this afflictive disensa
tion of an all-wire Creator, ' , who doeth all t p hings
well," is tb us an irreparahle loss, it is to him nn
infinite gain—consoled as we are by the hope that
he has gone to a higher and a happier world, "where
the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary at
rest."
Resolved, That, possessed of a generous disposi
tion and a highly cultivated mind, to know him
was to love him. To his Prolbund literary attain
ments and higltstanding in society, were added the
meekness and-humility of the devoted Christian.
Resolved, That the church with which he was
connected has lost one of her most distinguished
divines, his family an affectionate husband and
father, and society at large, its brightest ornament,
and that we tender to each our warmest sympathy
and condolence.
Resolved, That when the recollections of the
past throng upon us, we feel the poignancy of our
grief. While memory lasts his name shall be as
sociated with its choicest treasures.
Resolved, That a copy of these resoluti be
transmitted to the family of the deceased, and ons
fur I
nished for publication.
Tits Nashville Banner—a leading and high-to
ned Whig paper—does not agree, it would seem,
from the extracts we subjoin, with its Whig breth
ren in the North? The Banne chooses wisely to
take the side of the people.
"We know not what may be the intentions of
the administration—ls-hat plan of operations they
have adopted-or may adopt—whether they expect
to terminate the war on the Rio Grande--or as the
official organ intimates, to 'conquer peace by mac.
thing to the city of Mexico- but we are satisfied that
public opinion demands that hostilities should not
be of a merely defensive character, and that all
means should be forthwith ernployed—eve n to the
seizing of portions of the gexican territory, and
overrunning others— , -in order to put a speedy end l
to the contest.
If, however, the determination is to march to the
,',;:•Yi.'"E' -, ' ,-. f , ':-ii: , :c;':.;x,t ., .•: ,
city;of lifqico from The Rio Grande, or froin the
Atlantic coast, with the larger portion of the force
that has ken called out, th most ample prepare-.
tions of every description should be made—noth
ing should be left to chance or accident—nor should
an overweening, opinion of our own superiority
andr the extreme weakness of our own'enetny Pre
vent us from taking every step of precaution and
security which would be demanded, ere we seek
ing to periorate.nto the, heart of the-territory„of
the most powerful nation on earth."

CERTIFICATE
From the Rev. Asa Shinn, of the Protestant Method
tat Church;
The undersigned having been afflicted during the
past winter with a disease in the stomach, sometimes
prodcing severe pain in the stomach for ten or twelve
hours without intermission, and having tried various
remedies with little effect, was Ihrnialied with a bot
tle of Dr. JAY E'S CARMINITIVE DAts4st. This he
used according to the directions, anti tbund invaria
bly that this medicine caused the pain to abate in
three or four minutes, and in fifteen or twenty ndn.
lutes every uneasy sensation was entirely quieted.
The medicine was afterwards used whenever indica
tions of the approach of pain _ were perceived, and I
the pain was thereby prevented. fie continued to I
use the medicine every evening; and sometimes in thel
morning, and in a few weeks health Was so far re-1
stored, that Elio sufferer was relieved from a large ,
amount of oppressive pain. From experience, there-!
fore, be can confidently recommend Dr. D. Jayne's
Carminative Haleani, as cfsalutary medicine for die..
