"7 tJire but little -Dawtage:
AbotMilf past three on - Tuesday,
afteion'th'aldarm of fire wds raised
in our streeta, and on rcpiiring to the
. spot we folud the fire already ewtin.
guiAhed. It occurred on the premises
of Mr. CtARL.s CATtICART, and origi
nated fOim the careless handling of

Some:bedding. ad a little corn in the

This great enterprWic has been once
more delared successfulPy accoiplish
ed. Asthis is the fifth effoTt to lay
the. cable, we will not go into eestacy
over it yet, but will coolly wait for
something confirinatory to turn up.
We will-shy'however that if it con
tinues to work w9lI for one iw'lith, then
we will consider the Atlantie cablpa
great success.
Sigi.eant,
We said some time ago that only a
certain elementi of Southern sentiment
was invited to the Philadelphia Con
vention. We also divided the politi
cal elements of the country into thre.
clasgifications. That we were corr6et
in saying which One of those was iivit
ed to the Convention, read the .arti
cle bolow. We are still sutprised
that so much enthusiasm has been ex
hibited by our ablest men to enter
that Convention. We shall soon see
who has the right view of the subject.
Soein of the secession papers are con
gAtnlating themselves on the fact
that Hamilton Fish, John A. Dix,
and other loyal men of New York, are
taking steps -to be represented in the
Philadelphia Convention. To show
the -bas on witibh these gentlemen
are acting we quote as follows ftAu
their call for a. meeting to appinit
delegates:
"By the langnage and spirit df the
call, it. will be perceived that those
who refuied their support to the GAv
ernment in puttfing tfowhI the rebeflion,
and those who approve hf the ,cti6h of
Congress' in keeping 16yal Represonta.

from the invitati<t, and am not e -
peetd to&participato in the' pi-elii
nary meet Inrgs, ot-to take seate in the
Convent ion."
The meaning of which is, that no
radical, so-called, will be pdwitted,
and no man fromn the Spth, )Vill be.
