MISCELLAINEOUS. yejumpA Argus and Wl, Extra, of th 29th. WETUNiPKA IN Ris. It becomes our unpleasant duty to an nounce the destruction of two-thirds of the business part of our.town by fire.- About 3 o'clock this morning, the store house of J. S. Oliver was discovered to be on fire, which being of a very combustible nature, as well as tbe buildings immediately ad jacent, the fire spread with great fapidity. In less than an hour nearly the whole block between Main and Company streets was destroyed. The flames rapidly passed to the west side of Main street, and suddenly enveloped all the west side in flames, ex cept the store Ihouse of Messrs. Logan & Stone. The fire simultaneously passed to the east side of Company street, burning all South of the brick building occupied by Messrs. McKleroy and Heard, hicluding the same, 'and -the Post Office. By very great exertions the Hotel, at present occu pied by Mrs..McNeel, was saved. A gen re breeze blowing to the southeast carried she fames aesoss the street and constimed the fine new brick edifice, nearly comple teJ, and belonging to Mr. A.H agerty, as well.as the old brick building; thence to the American Hotel; and thence to the small brick building, occupied as a law office by the Messrs. Graham; from the house last mentioned the flames spread to a small dwelling- in the rear, occupied by Mr. Woodruffi and with the destruction of this building and out houses the fire ceased. During the destruction of the American . Hotel, thefise new warehouse of Mr. C. -Utrommelin. of Montgomery, well stored with cotton, was in imminent danger, but the active exertions of Mr. W. H. Thomas, and out- citizens generally, saved it. Re garding the bidge in great danger, should the store house of Mr. Douglass take fire. -unparallelled exertions were required to save it; and in. this etrt'Samuel Beman, Est., G.

ENGRAVING-IMPORTA.NT DIscovERY. New York, Jan. 30, 1345. Considerable sensation has been produ ced among our engravers by the news of a discovery. which is not only likely to affect'their interests, to a great extent, but which, if generally made known, must lead to consequences affecting 'he paper cur rency of the civiized vorld, the impor. tanee of which it is hardly possible to ex aggerate. I am indebted to Mr.-Chap man. the well known artist, for an account of the invention, nd a specimen of a plan produced through'its agency. The discovery consists in a process by whicli an elaborate line engraving of any size may be s6 accurately. copied that there shll be no perceptible diff'erence be tween the original antt tle-copy bywhich an engraving on steel or coper may he produced from an impression of the prit original gplite. tiwver haviing been -seen by the copyist--and ;he copidd enigraing be ing capable of 4rieldnlb frem Aen td -twenty thousand imtgtesssions. Thd producer wiHl undeirtake to supply a Bank of England Snote so -iutycinL M.id*1 able to swear which wtis the originl-A'nd ihich the cop. - - from the specirben in my possessio, onbtained-by tis-procesI, and which is-cop. ied from a proof engraving of the Saviourr, frotm the bairin of M. tlanchard, frtm the painting of Delaroche, I shotild infer that these claims on the -part of the discoverer could be fully subitaniiated. The niest delicate touches are trensferred wlth per fect fidelity, and this a~fter upwards of four thousand impressions fronm the duplibated plate had been taken. The Lon'don piub. lishier of thte engraving submitted tine iof these copies, together with a proof of the original plate, to several artists, painters, and engravers; and the opinintn at which they arrived was. that, although 'it was not difliotult to to distinguish the original from the copy, they were so thoroughly alike that any plerson of practiced eye mnight~suppose the two to be from the same plate, the one being merely taken with greater care thtan the- othte; they were precisely the same, line for-line, atid touch for touch ; and this ekamplp completely establishes the principle. They consid ered the invention the most wonderful and the most utiaccountable that had been thede in modero titthes i-n connection with art. Mlahy gudssne have been niade as to the fiioie by whtich this marvelloua process is effected, but -as yet without result. The process does not even infer a necessity of requiring the print delivered as a mojdel, whieb ts returned unscathed. The inven ier is an Englishmatd -and on engraver by profession. He hie taken out no patent, neither does ho think it expedient to do so, 'iasmuth 'iif he doed, djy unprtnctpled person may at once adopt it, with little prohability of the itiventor~ being able to prove that his process h-as been the niedi firr-by which the print has been .produe. A friend of the ia thdr'oT'ihe invetion says witjustie.- There is noinowing to*hat eatensive changes in legislation -it rmay conduce; for, if any printed or foritten doc ment cani be forged with so miuch ease and certainryv to defy any detection, the consequences maylbe retore a'pp'allid'g than we care'to anticipate," The invention embraces the capacity.to reproduce any form of letter press;4 r anf quality of print, drawing, or lithograph, in an unlimited quantity, in an inconceiv ably space of time. For instance, from a a-eingle copy of the Intelligencer plates might be'produced tn t wenty minutes from which impressions could be worked off with the ordinary rapidity of the steam press. The Buest .aend rafest engravings may he reprinted ddiqftitum; bank notes may be-reproduced in fae siiie, without the siigniebt point of difference; and 'last, theogh Dot feilst, books may be reprinted,. as front steeretypes, in unlimnited quantity. Indeed, the varietds thelianical add othei iterests aflee ed by this rerniarkable dist covery harve not yet been'half saunerated. ikNr'Auncieato--A petition'was yeu. terday presented' (says the National Intel. ligencer7 in the House -of REgpresentatives by Mr. Se~erance, from a number of res. pedtable ditizabis ofhed State of Maine, prayiog forthe "id ad'nexation of Oh pray,. i.a fE*Br'ndnwsk't6 th tY:8.' Jr Intrigues for the Succesion.-Our pri vate information leads us to believe an intrigue is oc foot in Washington to sacri fice the annexation of Texas to the ad vancement ~of certain men -to the succes sion. ' It must, however, prove abortive, and recoil with tremendous effect upon its authors. It is iin fact an act of hostility to the new administration, deeply mortify ing to every friend of Republican princi ples;. and cannot fail to embarrass it, in the execution "of the leading measures or its policy. None can be friends of the Administration who are not friendly to its measures. On no subject is the President elect so deeply committed as the modifi 2atio of the tarif, and annexation ofTex as- They in fact, carried his election. and .in the organization of his Cabinet he must from necessity, take care to select the most efficient fribnds of this important policy. That his Cabinet will be a unit on these important measures, none can doubti who know T1. iaai.... Th's irriidty which exiss 'n this poii has no'doubi led to the iicple .,teps ihtendel to dr ganiie a coaliion,, for tfe purpose of sac rificrng the interests er the country in thege measures, destroying the moral inkuence of 'n admiinistrai on too firm .to be cop trolled, and on theii- riins ofelhatingcer tain men to the imperiar honoa of the Chief Magistracy. Governir Wright's failure to say one word, Ji a message of fourteen columt, bn these subjects, the Jin consistent and inekplicable course of Sen ator Benton; and as *e are well-informed the secret effort which has been partially successful', of removing the New York Senators, who are friendly to these mea sores, -are enough to fill the mind of the most confiding. with serious apprehension. We can neither codprehend nor sibmit to the selfish and intriguing policy of flew York. Her moral influence is shaltn, and her principles suspected, rrom t6e fatensi ty with which she looks to the nie spoils of - office. Whilst we iudtilge a iope that our information 'afi be Anbounded, of one thing, however, the public liay rest assured. The Administration will faith fully and firmly carry its policy into exe cution, and redeem its pledges to the coun try, in spite of open. roes and deserting friends. It wiii firmly adhere toit' prin ples and measures avowed by te Balti more Convention; and if the anneiation of Texas prove to be the grave of more of oui political men, the fault will be their own. -Warrenton (Va.) Flag. A Washington Correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer, writes what follows: "Last night's mail brought a letter-from the President elect, to a Representntivo in Congress, in which it was stated explicit ly, that no selection of Cabinet officers had yet been made, nor had Col. Polk coun seled with any one on the subject. He further remarked, that in choosing.his con stitutional advisers, it 'would be his aim to steer clear of all cliques and cabals--that it was his firm determination to aIly him self with no faction, come from what quar ter it might, butto held himself aloof from ach and every connection that could pos sibly end in involving his admisisiration in the sightest degree with the question of mnd 1i a subject of congratulation with all hoeo who. look as flepublicns should, solely to the suicess.of Mr. Polk's admin. strtioti.

THE OREGON BItL. We gave a few days ago, a brief account of the Oregon question. so far as relates to the rival claims of the United States and Great Britain to that Territory. It may be proper now to state the provisions of the bill by which it is proposed to establish the exclusive jurisdiction of this Government over the whole region in dispute. The chief features of the bill were in deed set forth some time since by our Washington correspondent, but the prum inenee which the whole subject is now as suming may well warrant'a recapitulation of them. In the first place, then, the whole coun try of the Oregon lying between the forty second and firiv fourth degrees. North lat itude, including the entire .space now sub ject by treaty with England to the joint oc cupation of both conntriei is to be embra ced in the territorial organization proposed by the bill. A Governor is to be appotnt ed for five years, and a. Secretary for the same period ; also a Judge of the Courts; and a record of the proceedings of these functionaries is to be transmitted to Wash isgton every six months. II is further provided that the Governor may itark off the territory into districts, and enforce all necessary regulations to render the militia of the Territory efficient. . When there are five thousand inhabi tante over. twesty one years of: age they shall have power to form a Territorial Legislatur.e... *The President is required by the bill to erect-stockade forts in the territory to the number of five from some. point on the Missouri river, and,op the most practica ble routQ p.. south pass in the Rocky Mountains. He is also required to erct fortifications at or near the mouth of the Cumberland river. Each Isettler in. the colony of eighteen years ofrage and upwards is to have 640 acrea of land, ifhe will cultivate the same for fivp: successive years. If a married man, his wife shall have 160 acresJ;.ana the fatbkr shall have the.same for eacl.of his children under eighteen years ofa;;e. In the House of,Representatives on Sat iirdai some amendt'nents were made in the bill, the mosti mportant of which was one requiring the President of ile U. States to give notice to Great Britaimof the termine atio, of the existing treaty, ad providink that the enactments of the bill hall not apply to British fsubjecis Wo the ppriod'.of twelve months after such notice shall have been given. Another amendment ilows to the.sphijeets 9f Great Britai,6 free igress to and from. all bays, harbors, creeks and tributaries,: between the 42d and -40 40 degrees of latitude. . . . Such are the r6ain fa'tures of the Gre gon bill. It. proposes a very summary mode of deciding the q'uestjon of disputed possession; it assumes that the wh'ole re gion in controversy is 'irsband that no other power has any ground of claim to any portion of .it -Balt. Am. 4th instant. It will be seen by tie following, which we find in the Boston Post, that the sug gestion we made some time since in rela tion to that coach, made expressly to-carry President Clay to Washington, has been qd d gna that Prrsident Polk will be is as it should be: and the IItinalRai road Company have shown their sense in thus yielding to the force of circumstances with a good grace: That Coach.-The conch ordered some nonths since by the National Railroad Company, to be built by Messrs.

It is said to be a very creditable specimen of' Yankee skill, taste, and faithful wvork manship. It was to have been called the "Hlarry of the West," but -'the people" behaved so strangely different last No vomber 'from what tii railroad comnpany epeced of them, that they have simply ofiristned their coach the 'President." . ssyorlessrs.

Thesodoc trines are snpposed by their opponents to bear too close a resemblanceto those ofihe Roman Catholic Chuch, and two parties have consequently sprung up. . it would teem from the subjoined, that efrorts will be made by high Dignitaries of the Church, o heal all diferences of opinion among'the adherents of opposite parties. "The Archbishop of Canterbury has de termined to summon a meeting of bishops, o consider the present state of schism in he Chuch of England. in consequence of Puseyite doctrinqs, and to adopt measures of mutual conciliatio-n."-Baptist Adv. Tobacco in Georgia.-It would seem. Fromr .a Savanauh paper, that the culture of Tobacco, in Georgia, is destined to be oome very' extensive, and that in a few yeart It wilt become one of the most im portant products of the farm. The inqui ries for seed and information as to the-best mode ofraising the fitop are multiplying. We have no doub. 'hat Spanish To bacco, planted to a certain extent in that State, and in others having a similar soil and climate, would yield a handsome profit. Teniperance in Massaekiisufs.-It iS stated, that theieM ide ai the present time one hundred and twchiy towns in Massa ehusetts destitute of a grog shop. Colonizaiin Society.-The Report of the Colonization -Society- presented at its last meeting in Washington city, states that the* Society is in a more flourishing conditiod, than it was during the previous year. Its finances have increased. The expendf tures of of the Society, for the past year; amounted to $34,00. The receipts a mount to- 832,000. Four shipments of emigrants were made durieg the past year; Oregon.-We see it stated-that the emi-. gnnized themselves into a body politic. They are governed by a Legislative Co mi mittee, consisting of nine persois, and ai Executive Cotmmittee of three. The laws are generally the same, as' those of Iowa. A town has sprung up in this distant region, and a printing prsess has been ordered from one of the Northern cities. "Westward the Star of empire wends its way."' Fellows grown gray ininiyuity.-A Phi ladelphia says, that there are in the Penn sylvania Legislalture,lwenty twcobachelors, the greater portion of whom are grey headed. The editor goes on to say, tho' more shame for them, while hair dyes are to be had. They should assume a virtue, if they have it not, and endeavor to seem young at any rate.. Pennsylvania.-Both Houses of the Le ges-lature have ytnaaimously passed a bill to pay the interest of the State debt, fall ing du e February 1st. The amount ofT interest due is about $850,000. Annexation of Texas.-The Committee on ForeignRelations in the Senate, to whom w~as referred the Joint Resolutions of the House, for the annexation of Texas, have reported through their Chairman, Mr. Arche4 against Annexation. Mr. Blu ehaan alone dissenting. Whether tha. - Senate will agree to this Report, is very tuncertain0. Special Protection.--We subjoin an article on this subject, copied from the~ London Economist. The reasoning of the writer is good and very clearly shows tho absurdity of tho doctrine of Protection.; He proves, that special or particular pro teetion to certain articles of manufacture. in Great Britain is at "the expense of all other interests."- If this be true, with re gard to the mzatiufacsures of that- country, how much more so, is it frith regard to those of ours ? -- SEctA. PaoTECTioN. - . We have often contended that proteetio catn only be either unjust or uselii-un just if applied to -paticular -classes-use less if it equally applied to all ; and we are glad to find that the Times hias at Fength adopted this oh'viouis paiotiple, when it says, in contitnutin of the above-extradt : "Special protection is absolutely incom patible with equal and general proteclion. No class can be protected. except at-the expense of all others. Give equal, prtee ion to aH, and you give special protection to none." Special protbclion tan only he at "the xense of all otheira" egn~al' protection w tll give "special protection& to ntoue:" if' special, therefore, it is unjust--if equal, it is useless and absurd. - - But were it ever -so useful or desirable to give equal protection to all--to elevarta.
