Destructive Fires:
A most destructive Tiro occurred at Brooklyn,
14. Y. on Friday last, devastating an area equal
to nearly fifteen acres of the oldest and most
central part of the city. The number of Wises
And stores destroyed is estimated at between two
and three hundred, and the loss cannot be less
than one million of dollars. A number of per
sons were injured and several persons killed by
the falling walls. The great spread of the flames
is attributed to the scarcity of water in Brook-
!y-n.
A dreadful tire broke out In Pottsville, Pa.
on Eundaynight, which destroyed thirty five
houses, covering an entire square. Loss about
$lOO,OOO of which $30,000 thousand was in. ,
cured.
Mina;Urner Testimony.
At the Utica Convention of Barnburners that
met in February last, the following resaution
was reported by a committee of which John
Vaa Buren was a member, and unanimously
adopted :
Resolved, That GEN. ZACHARY TAYLOR
by his MASTERLY CORRESPONDENCE with the
War Department, no less than by his HEROIC
CONDUCT and INDOMITABLE COOLNESS AND COUR
AGE on the field of battle, has shown himself to
be not only a distinguished MILITARY CHIEFTAIN,
hut a man of GREAT MENTAL AND MORAL POWER,
Intl whose life has given evidence of a wraoNc
iIEAD, AN noNawr liaaa'r, AND A REPUBLICAN
SIMPLICITY OF CHARACTER.
"The 'Brave old Volunteer . "
.
A Loeofoco stump orator, speaking of
the military services and qualifications
of the fit General of Michigan, remark-
Id that "although General Cass was so
, short a time in the service that he did
3\sit galt a great deal of Credit on the
score of tactics, nevertheless it could
not be denied, that no man was ever
more succesful or effective in a charge
and that ration-ally speaking, he was a
!rent General."
