Tox'Kvis's house (late the Carolina 1otl) in this village, was ignited by a spark frou the chimney on Monday morning last; and for a short time there was consideralble alarmn. But the active assistance of muany citizeus was itumediately at hand, and the flname was speedily extinguished. The quick observation and ready hand of Mr. TIL.AN WATSON (the en ergetic young architect engaged in remodelling the building) wore principally instrumental in stopping the fire. MAuon TomPKnis requests us to return his heartfelt thanks to those who were kindenough to volunteer their aid so promptly, not only in ex tinguishing the tire but in preserving the house and furniture from detriment.

Some time since, having had occasion to allude to our present naval force, we put down the whole number of ships in the service at about jffy.. This was an error. An authentic paper from the De partmient shows that we have 10 Ships of the Line, 10 Frigates, 21 Sleeps of War, 3 Brigs of War, 1 Schooner, 25 Steamers, 3 Store vessels, and 5 Domb vessels, making an aggregate of 78. Since 1845, the number of seamen has been limited by jaw to 7500. General Ayer'N Oration. ltefoaro us is a coapy of anl (raction byv General . M.

A farmer gives us the information that the Rust has attacked wheat in several parts of oar district. As. yet ii.is confined to the blade; and there is hope tha~t the beads may be formed before it spreads further. l:ut generally with us, the news of the wheat crop is highly cheering. From the rich Cambridge l.indls, we receive accounts of almost unptreceden ted erops. GEs.RALr Dt;xovascr, of that vicinity, can show a field which some think has never been surpassed in that fertile neighborhood. Even our pieywos wheat is not bad; and this grsin is known to be least of all adapted to our loose and silcious soiL. Upon the whole, in spite of the Rust, we have good reason to calculate upon a very full crop for this District, Cool Again.

Our introductory fish, for the present season, came off on Thursday last at the mill Pond of Col. G. D. Mts. It was a delightful day, and we (that is, ourself and a few others, assisted by the hospitable CorONx. himself) succeeded in pulling out of that limpid water forty-setne Noble fellows, in a comparatively brief space of time. Oh! it was royal, to feel one of those plump Red Breuaters hanging heavy on the hook, and then to see him Butter and flap his sides, as he caine up into the sunlight, in all the rich radiancy of his native coloring! No one, who has not t caught one of these fish, can at all realize the ex ceeding beauty of the operation, or the intense 1 satisfaction its successful execution spreads over the mii of the angler. One after another dida we draw them from their aqueous receptieles, un til. as we have said, forty-seren lay floundering in magniticent confusion, in our fish buckets and sundry little pools of water upon the bank. Then to dinner at the Saw mill Shelter ;-cold ham and biscuit, pickles and ginger-nuts, and (by the kind ness of the COLONEL) hot fish, hot corn-bread, hot potatoes, and a great old jug of the coolest kind of buttermilk. Soon afterwards, we were again in quest of fish ; and this time, a trout and a sucker were added to our pile, with several more Red- i bellies. And so we bade the COLOtZL good even- 1 ing, and, with the comfortable feelings of fisher- - men who had caught a suf(fdah)ency and had eat a good dinner. we wore off for home. That night, what a supper! By the way, is not 'that a grand old natural Mill Dam. It would appear to have been design- 1 ed for sime superb purgase of usefulncss.

Traffic with Russia. The following piece of iutelligence encourages hope of a rapidly increasing trade with tus.,ia. We are bure that our Miinister at ST. PitERSItSnG will omit no opportunity to advanceo, in this and every other possible way, the intercourso and traffic between Americans and Russians.. Mr. Miller, American Consul at Hamburg, re ports to the Dlepartmont that the propri-Aurs of the steamers between Lubeck and St. Petersburgh have made arrangements with those running be tween Hamburgh and New York by which they propose to establish, at very low rates of freight, a direct system of transportation from New York to St. Petersburgh, via Hamburg and Lubeck. It is stated that hitherto the business between the United States and Ruspia has been transacted at only two seasons-one fleet of vessels leaving the United States in the spring in time to arrive in the Baltic by the opening of. navigation, and another fleet going to the Baltic late in the autumn, to leave again before the navigation elose.. The merchant. have, therefore, but two regular com munications per annum, and their capital is in vested about six months in the purchase and shipment of their goods. The facilities now cormbined would enable them to forward goods from New York to St. Peters burgh every fortnight during the season that alavigatio~n is open, by7 a transit which would con me but three weeks of time, "Evidently Imporrect." We could wasb that the Jlerestry had p'eked out some other words than these to charact*rise our report of General 1BoxnA)'s late spa ech at this place. If he had said "incomplete." or " brief"' or " partial," we should not have mindetd the eireum stance. But the term " eeidentaly impe'rfect"' goes too far. To the extent that we did report our Mtem her's address, It was suleuntly perfect,-at least as much so as such reports usually are,-as much so, we may add, as was the .lercury's report of General HIAxxoiD's speech at Beech Island. On the important point of DoruiAs and his doctrine, the report (though condensed) wee accurate. So it was in moat other respects, except that it merely indicated one or two heads without attempting to follow the speaker over ground familiar to intelli gent readers. One mistake we did makte, in saying that Mr. BUCELaxax vetoed the Hoeetead Biill; but General B3. inadvertently made the same mis take in his speech, and, not receiving his correc tion until upon the eve of going to press, we could only allude to the error in a note which perhaps the Xercury overlooked. This is a small matter, we know, to carp at; hut our city cotemporatries should remember that we have not in the country the experience, or facili ties for making such reports, which they have. And we respectfully stuggest that they should avoid a supereillions tone towards us. " Evidently im perfect" as was our report, we have the pleasure of saying that General BosnArx bad the kindness to commend it as being all that was necessary. " Publication of Crime." Under this head, the Newberry C'onaserntiat has a paragraph approving the course of the Dus Wlest Telescnpe in excluding from its columns the de tailed record of crimes. We join with those ex cellent journals in doubting the righteousness of such publications, and commend to the profession. the sentiments thus expressed by the Conseratit : " We entirely agree with the Due West Telrecope, as to the propriety oaf carefully exelumling detailed: accounts of every kind of crime from the coihamns of or papecra. We have- lonag thaou;lht that thu publicationm of crime tendel to thle increase of it, andl foar that retasona would Ibe much rejaiced to se a roform ihy thu pubalie press~ ina thmia resape.ct. Thelae fact is the press' has tbecomne a compl'ete rectord of crime ; and if the effects of the record continue to inctreasae, there is danger that immre expeunsive tic-t conamodationsi will ho necesary to the faithful dlii ebuargo of its oflico. No. barethren of the press let it not be ina any maunse otur oAlice to record crimne; leava it tao he recoraded elsewhere. Antd then we will beo further from pandering to a vitiated paublic taste, and more emp~loyed in cultivating a botter state of miorals throu.ghout the country. Thec Tet/rMacope, we are glad toa set', has paropoised the I proper course to itself, in excluding such anoeunts; and our sincere hope is that it will be adopted, as; it deserves to be, in other cases" The Latnsville Iherald.

Without the lemonstration of a slave code, cannot our mem iers of Congress unite in tiringing on an issue ipon the late action of the Kansas Territorial .egislature ? Can they not make the move to Lnuull her Territorial organization and compel by force of arms if need be) her subserviency to ,onstitutional requirements ? Would not this be m issue upon which the South wouli unite as one nan? Would not such a precedent (if carried mt) be of as much effect for good, in establishing ur rights for the future, as a slave codo ?

Pretty and .on. Information to Pension Claimants. Gzota E. WRITIo, Commissioner of the Pen sion Office at Washington, has issued a circular under authority, informing applicants for ponsions that the bill )roposiin to grant penmions to the sol diere of the trar of 1812, and the Indian ears of that and former period, DID NOT DECOx? A LAW. It is desired that the press extend this information, as numerous applications are crowding in from all parts of the country under the supposition that the said bill eliel become a law. In connection with this circular is a statement, setting forth to the Department of the Interior, the vast expenditure which such a bill would necessi tate. It is a rathor long and apparently elaborate exhibit. The general facts it arrives at are these: There are 28,628 survivors (including widows) who would be entitled under the bill to pensions of $96 por annum. There are 30,000 who would be entitled to $75 per annum. There are 75,85S, who would receive $50. The average remaining life of this great crowd of pensioners is computed to e-o about ten years. Ileginning the pensions in 1S57, as the bill con templates, the amnount necessary to appriate now is at least $29,000.000. The average sun annually requisite thereafter would he about $8.800,000, for ten years. The aggregate sum necessary to extinguish all claims that may be preferred under the bill could not be less than one hudred amd three millions. To this add $.^50,000 to defray the increased ex penses of the Pension Office and agencies. This statement, Mr. Comutissio.ni WHITING thinks. may be very far short of the reality. In other calculations heretofore made in such matters by our government oflicials, the actual expenditure has nearly quadrupled the estimates first made. If our country is prepared to sustain the bill in question, it may no longer be asserted as an axiom, that "republics are ungrateful." Flourishing School. The Houston Conference Female College, located at Asheville, N. C., is one of the most flourishing institutions in the South. Beautifully and health fully situated, it commands a large and Increasing patronage. By a catalogue before us, we find that there were two hundred and eighty-one pupils in attendance during the year 1858. It is supplied with twelve or thirteen teachers in the various do partments, and the rates of board and tuition are alike moderate. This institution is a great favorite with the Methodist denomination South, and has also no inconsiderable popularity generally. Lying in Bed. The following hint on deferring our "up risings," is applicable these delightful Spring mornings; we agree with the writer as to the evil effects of lying in bed after daylight-and commend his oiews to the particular attention of some we wot of in this community. No piece of indolence hurta the health more than the custom of lying in bed too late in the morning; and yet this is the general practice in cities, the inhabitants seldom rising till eome time after the sun Is up. The morning is undoubtedly the very best time for exercise, while the stomach is empty and the body refreshed by sleep. Besides, the morning braces and strengthens the whole physical system, and often answers the purposes of a cold bath. Let any one who has been accustomed to lie in bed till eight and nine o'clock in the morn ing, rise by six, and spend an hour in walking, riding or active diversion without doors, and he will find his spirits cheerful and sereue through. out the day, his appetite kteen,and his body braced and strengthenedl. gj The King of Dahlonmey is dead, say the paluers ; andl his funeral was celeb'ratedl by sacrafi eing eight hundred of lis negro captives to his mnemory~ anid manes. To supplity this drain upon his ebony treasury, the young~ king sallied forth at once upon a grand slave-hunt, as punrchaser. were waiting with thcir ware's to exchange for thc same.
