Ware, which have etood the test ofthe fire. An
immense amount will behaved.
More perrons than thoso who have been burnt
out, ure sufferers by the recent fire. Thousands
nf men, women and children, will suffer in con
sequence of the calamity, by the bankruptcy
of merchants, manufacturers, &.c.
Mark Them We have heard of some per
tons having raised tho rents of their houses
thus taking advantage ofthe necessities of the
tulforcrs. Let them be marked.
We are also informed of some who have rai
sed the prices ol provisions, &.c. Such conduct
is a disgrace to civilization. Their names
thould be made public.
Astonishing. We are informed by a man
who lives on Turtle Creek hills', that cinders
were wafted to tire that place, a distance ol four
teen miles. This shows the strength ofthe
wind at the lime of the fire.
A near as can be estimated, the number of
buildings of different kinds that were destroyed
ure as follows :

Furlliar Particulars of the Fire at Pllts
burg. An extra of the iMtskurg Gazette, nf Satur
day evening, contains the following :
Amidst all the distresf, there were those a
round who added to the calamity by stealing.
Among others, the Rev. Geo.- S. Holmes had a
bout $3000 stolen, which he had gathered up,
by great economy, on a Methodist preacher's
salary. He also lost a larje nuiubre of valua
ble manuscript", the labor of twenty years.
To show the rapidity of the fire, we may
mention that a gentleman of our acquaintance
arrived at the American Hotel, about 1 o'clock,
and leaving his trunk, walked out to see the
fire, which was then nearly a qniirter of a mile
off. In a short time he returned mid liijind the
hotel in flames. He lost his trunk with nearly
all hi clothing and papers, and a considerable
sum of money.
Tho Monongahela bridge took fire at the
north end, next to Pittsburg, and the (limes ran
roaring and cracking through with rial road
speed, nnd from the time the fire commenced,
until it was prostrate in the nver, only tvn min
utes ctupscd.
"The IntlhiJuat losses. The lofS nfsnme
individuals and houses are enormous, ranging
from S.1,000 up to )J200,000 Thus, one firm
of wholesale grocers, the heaviest holders of su
gar, molasses, &c, in the city, and also owners
of the building in which they did business, can
not bave lost lees than from M) to $100,000
There is the Monongahela Iloui-e al.-o, which
cost 8200,000, including the furni'nre. In ma
ny iut-tances merchants not on'" lost storks
worth $20,000, but also their di ?ll ng bouses
and every dollar's worth of furniture and clothes
they possessed. Said one I have lost $30,000
and have uow but one dollar in the world.
Presence or Mino. One of the Pittsburg pa
pers contains the following account of a praise
worthy presence of mind and energy exhibited
by a lady of that city :
"The very able government of the wife of the
Shtriffsaved the County Jail dHrins the tire.
Sheriin'rovillo was absent, conveying a pii&on
er to the House of Refuge in Philadelphia; the
Deputy was also ahsont on business, and when
the fire got up in that neighborhood, Mrs. Tro
villo had the whole burden on her own shoulders.
At the very height ofthe d.inger bhe called all
the prisoners who were not in the cells to the
grate, and by name let all the vagrants out.
That done, she set them to woik to curry water
up to the top, and this only saved it. us the roof
was on fire several times. The f-dlows worked
like horses, and as they merited, so we presume,
they received a discharge. Had the Jail caught
we have no doubt some ofthe prisoners would
have been burneH, and very probably the Com t
House too ; at all events it would have been
greatly injured. $l;i)l',oml would have been a
large bill for the county at this time. Tor sav
ing all this praise is due the lady of the Shei iff."
Babis in the Woon. When the fire was
raging on the mountains in Dauphin county, in
this State, a few days ago, a hull crazy woman
took two ot her children, one five and the other
three years old, and fled to the mountains, where
site was found, three days afterwards, nearly
naked, but the children were missing, and on
the following Monday they were foui.d in the
wildest regions of thl wild country, ten m.les
from their home. They h id been out to'jr days
and four nights cold nights tot. barefooted,
and half naked otherwise, their clothes being
neatly torn oil" them by the uuderbiHh, and
their legs blackened by the athes ofthe coiifl i
gration, through which they had wandered, und
their flesh a good deal lacerated. They had
cried themselves sick, and one of them hid
taken oil' its drees to make a bed of, and there
they lay, at the root ol a tree, locked in each
other's arms, unable to speak, having eaten no
thing, it is supposed, since they Jt.fi home.
The poor little tullerer were taken to the

XT It will be seen, by referring to onr co
lumns, that the Annexation Resolutions, as pass
ed by Congress, have created considerable ex
citement in Texas and Mexico. The Tcxans,
generally, are in favor of Annexation. The
English and French ate, however, using all their
power to defeat the measure. The consequence
is, that those in office ami holding high stations,
are operated upon in various ways by induce
ments held oit to them. Mexico Io offers to
recognise the independence of Texas if the will
refuse annexation. This is all hroucht about bv

OUT Mock InoN Work. We observed a few
days since, while passing along the road, that Mr.
S. K. Wood has rnmmenrcd the erertion of a new
Anthracite Furnace, in Point township, in this
county, just below the narrows on the road
leading to Danville. The Iron men are now li
terally coining money. The advance on Iron
during the lat few months, would, in the pro
ducts of an ordinary furnace alone, for one year,
amount to upwards of twenty thousand dollars.
For example, an ordinary furnace, in this
region, with all the fixtures, &c, necessary to
put it into operation, would probably cost ten
thousand dollars. Tho furnace would yield a
bout seven tons per day, or say filty tons per
I i r.'.,M I
week, making 2000 tons per annum. Good pig
;ri . . io.,, . i . -
iron will now command S 10 per ton, and, it is
, . , . , , . ,
reasonaWe to suppose, juilging from the great de-
mand for Riilroail iron in Europe, it will con
t i it tie so for at least Three or four years. The
contemplated rail roads in England atone, will re
quire more than the whole amonnt manmacturcd
fur two yrait. Iron, in this region, it is said,
can be made at f'-'O per ton. If so, a furnace of
the above rapacity, would clear $.V,(i00 per an
num. Hut, supposing it to cost SO'.' per ton to
manufacture, and that the average prire of iron
should range at about f 33 per ton, (and this, we
think, would cover all contingencies,) the clear
profits on 2000 tons would amount to $31,200
per annum.
The above, we know, will appear startling to
some unacquainted with the facts, but it should

that assesses more or ereater advantages than
Sunbury. Coal ran be delivered here, from
Shamokin, at all times, at $1 00 per ton in large
quantities. We have limestone within a mile of
us, and an abundance of ore, of the best quality,
within two miles, on the line of Canal. Such
advantages need, we think, only be known to be
appreciated.
Cv Tor. Canal Commissio.neks and iiib
batk.s of Toll. We stated a few weeks since,
that the course pursued by the Board of Canal
Commissioners, would have a tendency to pros
trate, or at b ast very much cripple the roal trade
of tins region. They have raised the tolls on coal
and lumber on the caiml, except so far as the
Wilkcsbaire and Hollidaysbui g regions are con
cerned, while they have reJuced the tolls on the
Columbia rail read, on these articles. This, we
presume, was done to introduce the Schuylkill
coal, in the counties on the eastern end of the line
of the road, and thus to cut off ihe trade on about
SO miles ofthe Pennsylvania canal, from this
place to Columbia Why the Willtesbarre and
Hollidaysburg regions should be particularly fa
vored at the exp use of other regions, it is hard
to say, but we have heard various conjectures.
Men now-a-days seldom art but from motives
of self interest, and we may hcreattrr be induced
togive a moie full exposition ofthe matter.

For the American.
Hon. Jesse C. Horton.
It is much to be regretted that a temper of in
tolerance, a spirit of proscription, should cha
racterize any portion of our fellow citizens,
however small, claiming the high honor of being
regarded and respected as Democrats. So soon,
too, after achieving a splendid triumph to the
cause of Pepub'irnnism, to set tip a system of
wide denunciation in our own party, is altoge
ther unpardonable. We have hern led to these
reflect i ns in noticing the ungenerous conduct a
doptcd by the "Olive I! ninth," and, also, by Gen.
W Warn A. I'rtrikin, of Lycoming co., towards
the gentleman whose name stands at the head of
'his article.
The splenetic conduct of Cen. Petrikin to

there is no man more sincere in pioiuoting the

the popular Senator from Northumberland.
Gen. Petrikin talks about nominations, &c, of i

An extra from the office ofthe Picaynne fur
nishes Us with later intelligence from Texas
and from Mexico. Letters from Galveston and"
from Houston, written by the editor ofthe Pi
cayune, who is nt present in Texas, explain the
present condition of things there, the feeling of
the people towards annexation, and the intrigues

ularly in thnPmstern counties, where more op
position was anticipated, the friends of annexa
tion have a large majority, nnd influential men
are taking tho stump to arouse the people to1
urge an early call ot Congress. The Vice Pre-
