THE ACTION OF COUNCILS.
The prompt attention of councils in taking all
the immediate measures in their power to alleviate
our unhappy situation will coot:vend itself to the
attention of our citizens. Mr. Durrah is to go to
liarristturg to produce such Legislative action as
can be obtained. IL seetns to us, that among other
things, the Legislature cannot do better for us than
to pass the 1401 giving the right of way to the Bal
timore Railroad. This would tend, if the bill is
accepted. to encourage our men of wealth, who are
yet unpostrated, to build up the city again, and
would bring capitalists to nettle among us. Is this
too touch to ask of our Legislature I
INCENDIARIES ARE ABROAD.
Yesterday afternoon, an attempt was made to fire
Wilmarth and Reynokl's board yard, on Irwin st.
The doable dyed rtlisin had placed a bundle of
matches. ignited in a heap of shavings, and thrust
the whole into a board pile. It had begun to blaze
when it was providentially discovered. Let the po
lice of the city be on the watch. These devils in
the shape of m en among us would destroy the whole
city if they could.
Laborers, Brickntakers, Bricklayers, Carpenter.,
ticc., will lie in immense demand 141 a short time.--
Preparations for rckuililing are already making, in
some insianees.
THE INDIVIDUAL LOSSES.
The losses of some individuals and houses art
emulsions, ranging Groin $5,000 upta $200,000.
Thus, one firm of wholesale grocers, the heaviest
holders of Sugar. Molasses, &c., in this city, and
also owners of the building in which they did bu
siness, cannot taw , lot mesa than horn 680 to
$lOO,OOO. There is the Monongahela House also,
which cost 6:,00,000, including the furniture. In

COURAGE. BRETHREN, COURAGE.
The Pittsburg Gazette holds the following cheer-
ing language
"We have carefully inquired of many of our
clearest headed business men, those most thorough
ly conversant with the resources of the city, as to
the probable effect of this disaster upon its pros
perity, and coupled with our own knowledge of the
strength of the merchants who were burnt out, the
position of their circumstances, tke., we are fully
convinced that though the commercial prospects of
the city are terribly shaken, yet it is not Wally
prostrated. rind in due time will rise shove it all.
Ottr liege tyanufitclories are untouched—the only
mills of any importance which arc burnt being the
Globe Factory, which is the smallest in the citv, the
Kensington Iron Works, the Bakewell and l'ears'
Glass Works. Various other small establishments
were destroyed, but it is with great satisfaction we
announce that the great leading branches are com
paratively untouched, and that business, so far as
they are concerned, will go on as usual.
As for our wholesale merchants in the Grocery,
Queensware. and Dry Goods branches who were
burnt, some number of them, will commence forth
with. Some aro wholly ruined, many much crip
pled, but we believe the majority can go on as usual,
and yesterday they were busy getting places of bu
siness and offices.
I t is with heartfelt pleasure we observe the forti
tude with which they hear their losses. There is
no repining—no despair—no sullenness; but a
calm, determined spirit, which must carry them up
again. The effect will be to set us bock for mo
ment, but we never had more confidence in the
strength and spirit of our merchants to overcome it
all in time. It must he supposed that all the busi
nese portions of the city are consumed. Most of
the Dry Goode Jobbers are untoticged; so of the
Hardware merchants, and a number of the heavy
houses are out of the burnt district. And it fortu
nately happens, too, that a large mount of groce
ries from the east, for the city, had not arrived. We
repeat. therefore, that though the city is terribly
shaken, it is neither ruined, nor totally prostrated."
Moot heartily do we hope that the cheeting lan
guage of our brother will be sustained—ney, it must
be sustained, and Pittsburg must rim from her ashes
—and how precious, how costly are those ashes?
A committee of the English Lutheran Church
was sitting to accommodate in their building desti
tute futuilies.
We find the following interesting paragraphs in
the Pittsburg Advocate of Monday the 19th.
OUR INSVIIANCE OFFICES. -It is with delight
we hear more favorable accounts from our offices,
otter an investigation of their losses. ado not
wish to hold out any encouragement not warranted
by facts, but after comparing notes we feel author
ized to say, in general terms, that the offices in this
city as a whole will pay a very large per eentage
on all their risks. The whole amount insured by
them is about $BOO,OOO and at the very outside not
over $850,000. Their capital in the aggregate will
cover up a large proportion of this amount. The
affairs of the Penn Company are in u better train
was helievell and they will pay a large per centago
on their risks.
lONA aT Tux GROAT Frox.—A committee ap
pointed by the Councils, after a full examination of
the burnt district, having minutely visited every
part of it, have arrived at the following result:
982 buildings burnt, value $2,586,500

ty of young men.or persons not keeping house.
In calculating the value of real estate, the com
mittees have estimated the cash value of the im
provements as they were before the fire, and not
what it will require to repair or rebuild them, which
must exceed the above estimate at least 25 per cent.
Tun &Ace Buirm—Mr. R. F. WGowan, the
City Regulator, informs us that the burnt district
covers fifty act es in the city, and six acres out of it.
BUILDINGH BEGUN To-net !—As many of our in
domitable citizens as are able to build, who are not
too much crippled to do it. and could get contracts
made, have done so. and new buildings arc begun
to-day. This is the right kind of spirit.
The Swallow.
It would seem that, comparing the report of the
number of passengers whose names are entered on
the books of the Swallow, the number said to have
escaped alive, that there is a deficiency of thirty
two. Of these, the bodies of thirteen have been
taken from the wreck and the river; whether the
other nineteen will be among tire dead, or whether
some error in the entry of the names will be discov
ered, it is impossible now to judge. We fear, how
ever, that more titan thirteen lost their lives in that
fearful wreck. Among those recovered and taken
to Albany, was the corpse of Miss Mary Torrey, of
Pottsville, Pa.
The inquest by the Coroner and his jury isgoing
on, and the general tenor of the evidence seems to
prove that the awful occurrence was the result of
criminal carelessness. It is stated too, that the
Pilot, Burnett, has admitted that he was in charge
of the helm, before she reac'aett Four Mile Point,
(four miles from Hudson.) The Senate of New
York has given the matter into the hands of a Spe
cial Investigating Committee, charged with power
to send for persons and papers. A proper exami
nation of the circumstances attendant upon the oc
currence may, therefore, be looked for.—U. S. Ga..
The work on the new and enormous Anthra.
cite Furnace, at Danville, (Pa.) to form an addition
to the works of the Montour Iron Company, has
been commenced. The furnace will be 16 feet
across the bodies, forty feet high in the stack, and
will he capable of making one hundred and twenty
tons of pig metal a week. A rolling mill, belong
ing to the same company, is under roof and will be
soon completed.
The building for a now Iron Foundry is also be
ing erected at Danville. It will be put in operation
during the coming season, and mainly for the cast
ing of hollow-were.
'We are glad to notice these evidences of a revi
val of the old prosperity in the interior of the State;
every furnace erected makes new demand. upon our
mines, and every pound of iron mined adds to the
means of our commonwealth.

Relief to the Pittsburg Sufferers.
A bill for the relief of the sufferers in Pittsburg
has passed the Legislature unanimously—appropri
ating the sum of $50,000, to be placed into the
hands of the city authorities, for the relief of the
suffering. The bill also releases the outstanding
stole and county taxes of the sufferers for the pre
sent year, and for the next three years, and remits
or refunds the amount of the licenses of dealers in
merchandize whose establishments have been de
stroyed.
A detailed account of the awful calamity which
has befallen the city of Pittsburg is contained in
our columns, commencing on the first page.
A Good Hint.
We find the following in some of the papers, and
copy it for the benefit of our subscribers residing at
a distance who have never thought of the subject,
and others who have found it inconvenient to call
at our office in person. We hope that all such will
take advantage of the existing law before the First
of July, as no doubt they only need such an in
ducement to do their duty to the printers--a duty
which so many of them are apt to postpone too
long, or forget altogether :
Tun Now PORTAGE Low which goes into effect
on the first of July, prevents post masters from
franking letters containing money for the payment
of subscriptions to publications. Those therefore
who are desirous of saving postage. would do well
to act on this hint and forward their dues to pub

A Ftvz Husinurin DOLLAR COVNTERFEIT.—
Some impressions front a plate, engraved by Messrs.
Toppan, Carpenter & Co., some years ago, for the
Port Carbon Railroad and Canal Company, in Illi
nois, of the denomination of $5OO, have, it seems,
come into the possession of dishonest hands, and
have been so altered. as to purport to be $5OO notes
of the Philadelphia Bank. Three of them have
already appeared here, and there are,probably,more
in circulation. The signatures of the President
and Cashier are well imitated, but the counterfeit is
la little longer and wider than the genuine notes,
and the plate is entirely:different as to lettering,
style and viginettes. The viginette of the genuine
note represents a locomotive and train of cars, as
having just passed a rocky precipice, while that of
the counterfeit represents two female figures, one
with sheaves and a sickle, and the other with a rake;
no one acquainted with the genuine note, could be
defrauded by the counterfeit, but it is well calcula•
ted to deceive strangers.— U. 8. Gazelle.

On the 17th inst., a fire broke out at Zanesville,
(0.) and before it was subdued, the dwelling of
Messrs. Park arid Dustman, Mrs. Prints, and the
business rooms on main street of Messrs Britain &
Gibbons, Williams& Greenland, Clements C War
ner, were completely destroyed. The loss is set
down at $1 . 1,00`, upon which there was on insu
rance of $4.000. A young' man named Cooper, a
son of Judge Cooper, died soon after the fire, in
consequence of the excitement it awakened in him,
About half past three o'clock on Saturday morn

biussurry.—The Philadelphia U. Gazette
says Wo copied an article some days since,
relative to an artificial arm, which had been invent
ed and used in Europe, by which many of the offi
ces of the natural arm could be performed. A few
days since Dr. Bean, of this city, brought to us an
invention of the forearm and hand, which, from its
appearance and use, seemed to be the model from
which the European aim had been formed. And
we have no doubt, that when applied, it could be
made as useful in all the minutire, as was that to
