Fire at Winchester, Va.-A -destrtive fire broke out in this town on the 21st ult., and a large amiount of property destroyed. Female RiW-The Pittsburg (Pa.) Journal - gives .a graphic account of a riot among the Factory girls nt'ihat 'pece, oi Monday the 6th ult. The origin of the dificulty between the operatives and the employers was-the refusal of ihe latter-to adopt the-ten -hour system. The girls made a terrible onshrught urpon -the Cot. Ion Factories, and made strong demonstrations -of fight, but after a great deal of bickering and some hard pushing, order was in a considera. ble degree restored. Some of the malcontents 'returned to work, but others refused to do so frotn the Charleston 111111rs. Tihat11pCiya present, presents very favorable signs of busi -ness. We are highly pleased at this, and hope that her march to prosperity will still be on -ward. The Rail Road from Charlesanot o Ham tiurg, we hear, is -now doing a veiny pr otitabie -business, in, the transporttion~ of travellers and merchanidise. The stock of'the road has dvance~d consideratbly, and it is thme opinion og 'well-informed business men, that it will still further advance. We trust, that the State as \vell as the Company will soon1 receive in full measure, thme benefits arising fioun tIs condi 'tion of things. The S. C. Courge.-We extract the follow ing from an editorial of the South C'arolinian of the 30th uIt., upon the South -Carolina Col. lege. ' Whilst we aro talking of the govern ~ment of the Collegejustice dematnds that *we should call public attention to those gentlemen who have execrted atny thing like efficient discipli'ne. Thie public are much Indebted to Professors Twiss, La borde, and Thorn weli. in this particular. The two former have our hearty wishes for a' continued term of uisefulness in t'he 'College; and as wvelmave already testified our. regret at the prospective loss of the inter, we sincerely hope that his ability wvill be as highly appreciated anmongst his new friends as it wvas here. We are no sectarian, but ever wishing prospetity to the cause of tuth, and re garding tlie religious energies of the land, tantamount, yea, superior to oil others for the aceomplishument of permanent good, wve would desire to see some religiotus sentiment tikini to the patient, uniriag de * - votedness of the Methodists incorporated into this institution. There is so much * gentle persuasion in their discipline, and they present the world so many evidences of purity and sincerity, that we have al - - ~ ways been forced to regard these features in their religious character, as ample guar antee for their superiority in governing and teaching. It has been said of us. that we have borne harshly on the excellent Professor of' Languages, and as far as theo applica * tion of a frivolous epithet to him is con cerned, we admit the justice of the remark, and would willingly atone for the hasty censure east upon him. It has never been our intention to deprive any one of a de servedly high literary reputation, and wve now regret our remarks the more from the fact that we believe circumstances wvill soon be developed, which may prove that our fears were much magnified respecting him. Literary men are too often regard ed-in our country as buffaloes are by Prai rie hunters; they are indiscriminately shot down, their skulls split in t wain, and an epicurean feast made 'of their brains and tongues-whilst the carcass is left to farten the earth or feed the vulture, and their hones to bleach on the wild wastes over which they roamed in life. John Tyler.-Recently more thtan two hun tdred of the citizenms oif Philadelphia, addressed a Nee~r to Ex-President Tyler, inviting him to , amb~i dinner in that city orn his way to Vir. ginia from New York. We make the follow ingxtiact roi thiereply f Mr. Tylerto the gentlemen who iivited-him.. A'n.Y MAio,.'SHEi.TEIs2LAND, New York,'Sept. 27, 1845. . Gentlemen: Your letter af the 22d iustani, iuvitintg ue to partake of a public dinner as a token of your respect, onl my return from this State, and directed oime at the-City of -New Yerk,--was duly for. warded from thence and reachedi'me at this place, the residence of a highly valu ed and esteemod friend.on. last evening. I delay not to acknowledge its receipt, and to -give expression to the feelings ol gratification which it has afforded, The recollectdudf the terms employed'by you in comrmunicating your wishes will be cherished by me as gn evidence that uity life has not been wholly unprofitable, nor my etloris to advance the *publie good entirely frritiess. - -M-de -by the act of an overuling Providence the instrument to carry out -the first 'great lest experiment. which 'involved the question whether a Vice-President sueceeding to the presi dency by-the death of the Pretident, could administer The government according to his own settied'conviktibus of right and policy, and beset at eve'ry step by trials of no ordinary character, Isbouli have saf ficint cause of gratitude in ihe fact that tin injury had befallen our institution's during my term of service. How much.~however. is my gratifications enhanced *by rho opinion you express that my adminisir tion is destined to occupy * a luminous place on the page of history." Detraction and calumny of the most malignant character 1 may be coulent to endure, if the page of my country's history is to be rendered "luminous" by acts promotive of the pub lic interests, which I may have been in any way'instrumental accomplishing. To this end were all my efforts directed, and if'to me there can be ascribed a result so glorious, then am I content that "malice shall do its worst." The end of a lofty amiition will have been accomplished and the victim bows to the altar and the sacri fice. Without subjecting myself to the cha'rge of egotism, I may be permitted to rejoite nith you 'in the consummation of Texas annexation. The blessings which 'it hassin stdre for our couniry., admit of no exaggeration ; and'the hour in which the hapii-noss was nflhrded me, as the Chief Magistrate'of tbe'United States, of affixing my signature to the joint resolution of the two Houses of Conigress. saw fully con summated, so far as the United States were concerned. a measure baring upon its mighty tide an argosy *freighted with new additions to tbe peiver and prosperity of atrrbeloved'coutitry, and reliable assu rances of (he permanency df our happy Unioh.

Lo'ng'Shoes.-A coteinpraay-saystht man's rank was formerly known by the size of his shi6es. Those of a Prince measured two feet and a half; a plain cit was allowed only twelve inches-hence the French 'proverb, "etre sur Itn grand pied idans le monde, to be on a great foot or-footing with the wyorld. Judging mein by the length of theit shoes worn now-a-days. 'we would suppose, that there were many great persona'ges in our country. 'LATER FROM TEXAS.

THE MORMONS. The Mormonsm wi-o seem like the lsh--, maelites of old to have their hands againar every man, and every man's hand egainst. them, have at length resolved to quit their present residence and to remove in the en suing spritng, to some place west of-the. Rocky mountains. California, 'it is ru inred, is to be the seat of their future empire. where they have an excellent op. portunity of trying the experiment, whiche we have no dotubi they will, of wvorking church and staute together. Meantime an other Ret of brass plates has been dliscov. ered somewhere in Wisconsin, wvhich if they have fallen into Site hands of as-cet - a prophet ais Joe Smith, will give rise to another sect of Saints, to annoy the goW4 people of the West for anothorihalf doif years --Chas.
