ALONE.
List! my soul— a* tbe night-win 1 drcar
Wails o’e the dead leaves, pale ano sere,
<’n the bleak earth strewn.
Sighingar.d snuddering, faint an I c ld,
At the cry o' the perj red, doomed and old,
It shrieks a ar o’er the blighted wold,
“ Alone —alone !”
Look! where the vagrant wild fire’s light.
Flitting aliir through the shadowy night,
O’er the grave is thrown ;
A lurid gloom in the di.-u al haze,
Now light, now lort to tbe dreamer’s gage.
It flames—it tides in the wildered uißz a ,
Alone—alocc.
Hie;! frem the depths of tbe haunted well,
R ses a sign'll, dread and fell
At the sullen ■; can
The crumb’ing wal ’s e’er the waters shake,
Ti e spot ed nad and the slimy snake
In their b«'ds of lichen quail an t quake.
Alone— alo.-.e.
Far to the verge of the lonely glen,
Round the fox’s lair end (he bun-wolt’s den.
Sweeps the w : z rd tone ;
It summons the ghoul fn in his charnel bed,
Withered, and gibbering, and demoo-fed,
To the path of doom—and away he’s sped
lone—alone.
Tu-whit! tu-whoo! ’(was the mousing cwl,
Keepin/ his watch by an altar foul,
On tbe Prui !-*tone ;
Hid from tbe prowling vampire-brood
Darp in the gfcotn of the mystic wood,
He cowers down in tbe aulitude,
Aipne -alone.
Croak 1 credit ! ’twas the raveirs cry ;
’Mid the boughs of the hemlock, dank end high,
His fiend eye shone—
To tl e night-hag bi 1 in the blasted tree,
As lone, as weird, i.nd fierce as he,
Came the cant of his mock ne prophecy,
Alone! alane!
Hark ! what a et'fl <l, writhing sound
Si.wly c>tcjs irom the murderer’s mound,
L ke a victim’s gro>n
Teo dread to rise on the wind’s wild swell,
Deep through the dim U jfhnul haunteu ” del!
Echoes the tnurtn r tioirse and fell,
“Alone! alone!'’
Up! my soul, from this charnel glcom,
That Linds thee down in a living tomb
With its leaden xme—
Up! my soul, on the tempest-tide
<‘ f it dark exi.-te'ce, wild and wide,
To doom and destiny proudly ri le,
Afone ! nL n r !

There is no doubt hat ibi* terrible fire was
the work of an inc*nd.ary. Tne time selected
was a good one, just as peop e were going to
enuren on Sunday morning, and ihe place was
upon a hill, from which tbe fire must inevi ably
i;a,e spread ’o the wnole city. Heaven
protect the demon who is proved to
nave beeu concerned :n ibis diabolical act

Tn ere was evidently an arranged plan to sei
fire 10 and consume the city. Long before
ma lire reached ia tbx* vicinity, a man wa*
| (itj’covered attempting iu wet fir*i lo Pacific
etreet wharf. He was arrested, and it w un
derstood was handed over to the Vigilance
Couimittea The portion of M irvin &, llrch
cock’s bui’ding occupied by Louis Kilieir hs a
cigar store win fired in the rear by some mis
creant, who broke one of the panes of glass
n the sash of tbe door leading to the yard,
and se’ fire to the cuita n of the window;
the mark of the match ignited for the purpose
is vi ible on the door. More than ever we ere
convinced by this that there is in this city an
organ*zed band sworn to des roy it; every
thing connected with this fire has certainly
shown it.
By this fire many people arc really burned
out and left without a place to lay their heads.
Many who had removed tl.eir goods to the
P.hzi apd on the hills at the head of Kearny
and Dupont streets remained with them
through the night. Tha fire in various parts
of ihe city continued blazing till a tale hour,
lining the heavens with a lurid glare.
Over the ten full squares that were burned,
within the actual limits of the burned district,
the only buildings left standing were too?©
which were saved on the Plaza.
Speaking ol the des’ruc ion of its own es*
taohshment,tro Alta California says:
After the fire reached Wa hington street,
theCa’ fornia llt-raurin*., which adjoined the
Alta California office, wa* blown up. but it did
not stop the fl lines. The Jackson House and
Lafayette Rertaurant and.buil:ings i;* the rear
were all on fire at once, and the flames were
at ihe same lune enfolding, the wooden build
ing to'uierfy called the St. Charles, which
stood between the Alta office and the fire
proof Belta Union. Thus surrounded and
enveloped m flames all our eftortsto beat beck
he destroyer were vain. Wi h a pientifni
supply.of water and a fire engine, is addition
to two force pomps of out own, we were per
fectly powerless. Yet a dozen men conten
ded iong and manfully, risking their fives and
doing all that men could do, but in vain.
Then, and not till then, they left, when they
could no longer breathe v'ithin the building,
and rushed thr* ugh cinders, sheeted flame
and dense rinoke to the P aza. Here most
melancho'y sigh « met the view. A large por
tion of ihe goods removed there for s.teiy
were on fie andtfta.lv consumed. Among
them was much of our own slot k g! stationery
and material. But, more horrible than all, two
or three corpses—one of a man who was
moved on accou t of sickness, iu his bed, to
the square, and there died while the firo was
raging.
The following are additional item- of inte
rest concerning this calaurty:
From he evidence collected yesterday, we
are satisfied that the fire of Sunday was the
deliberate work of an incendiary. Nor was
t .is the ouly attempt of the kind made during
the day We have heard of four diflere t
places to which fire was applied while the fire
was raging in the upper pari of the town, viz:
Pacific street wharf; acigars'ore next to Mar
vin Hitchcock’s, in Mongomer/ street; a
house in Sicramen o street, and one in Kear
ny street. The gang, it seems, were detailed
on duly in diflereu'. parts of the city, so that
the dssiruc im might be tola! and the ruin
overwhelming. Had the a ten'pis in Mont
gomery and Sacramento streets been success
ful, all the eastern and sotrhern portion* of
the cuy, which have fortunately escaped,
would have been swept before iho flames be
yond the possibility of re eruption, i hese
meet diary attempts, aside from their fiendi-h
mdignity, disp ay a degree of recklessne.-s,
considering the excited state of the public
mind and ihe consequent risk if delected, that
ia pos : lively astonishing. The halter would
be almost too imld a punidiment for him who
should bo unmistakeably detected in such an
act. The crime of arson in inis city is mote
heinous than even murder; f>r, besides tho
immense destruction of property, and the
suffering to thousands arising therefrom, it
presuppose. , and thus fur his tavariablv been
accompanied with great loss of life But un
fortuna'.eiy it is a crime which is very difficult
to detect.
Dr. Dalyah, a French physician, residing on

before th'? fire had reached t from the adjoin

The Btar learns from Mr. Corwine, U. S.
Consul fur that port, that he is in receipt of
dispatches’from his colleague at Payta, by
which he is informed that T jmbez, in Peru, i*
not a port of entry, and that all vessels, except
ing whalers, arriving there from foreign ports,
and pretending to unload, or ouly take on
board products of the country, are, by the
laws of Peru, subject to condemnation and
confiscation.
Recently the American brig Annah, Capt.
John Erskin, Jr., has been detained at that port
for a breach of revenue laws of tne country,
se zed and her master taken to Payta, with a
view to the imp si'.ian of a fine upon him of

Later from (‘hili.—The following items
of news from Chili we take from the Panama
Star:
The political news Irom Chili is pacific and
encouraging. On the Ist June the National
Congress met, and President Bulnes delivered
h’s mesjaae, which is a very pUm and cooipftr
hensive document, representing the affairs of
iho 'jation in the moot prosperous condition.
The iron gas sod water pipes are be : ng laid

is proposed now lo extend the line from Copiapo
to Chanarcillo, where some of the richest mines
ore situated.
The Neighbor says : “ Success to the first at
tempt lo employ the greatest invention of the
age in the development of the resources of the
country.”
On Surday night, the 22J June, about 11
o’clock, a contest occurred in the bay, between
the guard boat and the master, Cape. Dadle, and
crew of the British ship Duke. Firearms were
used Tne guard boat s night assistance trom
the armed national vessels ; and in the end the
Duke was taken possession <4 by the authorities
of ti e port. Various versions of the matter are
in circulation. A violation of custom-house
laws is charged on one hand and denied totally
on the other. The captain of the Duke was
shot through the body, and shortly after died.
There had been a very severe storm at Valpa
raiso and neighboring ports. Tne mercantile
Reporter says:
During the late storm a vessel was seen cap

Fuom Oregon.—The papers are filled with ac
counts of the war between the whites and In
dians on the Rogue River. The immediate
cause which led to the outbreak was the at
tack by the Indians upon a parly of Oregon mi
ners who were returning home, and were at
tacked near th? crossing of Rogue’s River, on
the Ist of June. The party of whites number
ed twenty six men, and the Indians from two
hundred to three hundred. The whiles retreated
without sustaining any injury. The next day a
par y of four persons were attacked, and their
mules ard baggage taken away. On the next
day Dr. Mcßride’s comp iny of thirty-two men
an i seventeen boys were attacked. The en
gagement lasted several hours, some five or six
Ind ans being killed, and none of the whi'es be
ing injured except one, Mr. Barlow, of Oregon
city, who was severely wounded in the thigh by
a i arrow’. Gen. Line and Gov. Gaines have
both gone to the s-cne of disturbances, in hopes
of settling the difficulty amicably, but it was
supposed that their efforts u’ould be unsuccessful.
The Indi >ns have declared eternal warfare against
the whites, and nothing short of an extermina
ting war will pitta stop to their outrages.
A short time since the San Francisco papers
published a full account of the discovery of a
new biv on the coast, in Southern Oregon, and
the location oi a town name 1 Pori Oxford. From
the following we fear that the worst fate his be
fallen the pioneers who were left th re :
It is the general supposition th . Messrs. J.
Kirkpatrick. S. T. Slater, Jam* 3 ii. Hussey,
Cyrus Kidder, R. H. Broadcss, T J. McKirou,
T. W. K dwert, P. D. Palmer and Mr. Summer,
who were landed at Port Oxford some few weeks
since oy the steamer Sea Gull, have either been
massacred, or taken prisoners by the Indians.
It appears, from memoranda found, that on the
morningot June 10th they were awakened by
the guard, al an early hour, with the Intelligence
that ihe Indians were coll cling in considerable
numbers on the beach, and the indications of
trouble were unmistakeable. Some two or
three of the chiefs came forward, and the leaders
of the pioneers went out and met them, and held
a short parley. They gave the chiefs some few
presents to keep peace, but the treacherousness
of their charac'cr so predominant in the Indian,
soon develop d itself, and a fire was kindled
on the beach, within rifl? shot of the encamp
ment, where a council of war, and a dance
preparatory to an engagement, was held. During
their deliberations, some would b? holding coun
cil, some dancing, wh le others would be snap
ping the strings of their bows, and throwing
themselves into all kinds, oi fantasric shapes,
frantic with rage,and seemed determined to be
avenged.
The pioneers were stationed upon a high pro
montory, extending out into the sea, acceszihle
only from one point, and this was strongly forti
fied by the erection of a breast work, with a four
pounder placed so as to sweep the entire course
leading to the top of the promontory. The In
dians after concluding their ceremonies, ad
v need to the bottom of the hill and commenced
the attack. From this point they approached the
breastwork of the men, one of the Indians b- ing
in advance of the main body, and went so far as
to clasp one of tne guns of the company. At
this critical moment, the four puunder, loaded
with slugs, was discharged, end the fijut then
commenced in good earnest and without reserve,
either to chof or private. The engagement con
tinued fittecen or twenty minutes, in which tome
twelve or fourteen Indians were kitted, and
diub.elhat number wounded. Tney men re
treated an eieva'.ed position, some two hun
dred yards distant, when they again resumed ih?
attack, with a loss of six more of their mtn.
It appears that the Indians continued to harrass
the pioneers during the whose day, with but
ittle success, having wounded but four of the
men, and those very slightly. About sun down
the Indians disappeared, and nothing was seen
oi them up to the la est date contained in the
memorandum which was cf June2om. From
some reason, however, they anicipated another
attack, and under date of the 18lh, the men
w ere all wed and able to do duty. I: seems by
the language of the writer, that tney dreaded not
the attack of the Indians; but on the contrary,
desired a second engagement. They frequently
ventured out seve.-al aides from the camp in
companies of three and four, and re'urned with
out moles: ation. They speak in glorious terms
of trcsoil and us locality, and the great variety
of timber in the vicinity.

Phom Chisa.—By the last arrival from Hong
IConrr the Alta California has received copies of
the China Mail of ihe 9ih of April. The papers
however, do not contain much news of interest.
The Mall states tha’ on the night of the 31st

which was anchored off Lnntdo. The pilot gave
the alarm, and the crew mustering strongly sue

The p irtles who were implicated in the charge
of ecmfe terating to take the steamer Hong

trial. The evidence against them was quite
strong. The paper from which we have already
quoted states that, on the night of the 18th of
February, Capt. Obcd Luce and five of the
crew of ihe wha e ship Boy, of Warren, R. 1..

Public Sentiment of the North.
The Editor of the Richmond HTiig, who has
been malting a tour of New England, with a
view to ascertain, from personal obsecration and
contact with all classes of people in the cities,
towns, villages and rural districts, what was the
state of public sentiment, on the compromise
measures, and especially of the Fugitive Slave
Law, has after a careful reconn Usance of the
conntty, addressed a letter to that journal from
which we cull the following cheering extract .-
Lewistos, Maine, July 25.
♦ ♦ » • ♦ •
“ My object, In short, was, to ascertain what
is the real st ite of Sewardism in New York, of
Free-Soilism throughout New England, and,
in an inferior degree, the prospects of Gov.
Johnston’s success, under that ambiguous reia*
ti jn to the Compromise, which ho has taken in
Pennsylvania. All these involve the great ques
tion ■whether the North intends, or does not in
tend, to stand by the Compromise, and es
pecially the Fugitive Slave bill. Upon the so
lution of that question will, 1 think, depend, in
a good degree, the issue of our coming elections
in Virginia If we can assure ourselves and sat
isfy the people that the North genera iy and
Massachusetts in particular, have now made up
their minds to abide faithfully by the Compro
mise and to enforce the Fugitive blave law, I
take it that the Old Dominion, ever loyal and
true to thedlnion, will sustain at the polls the
party of quiet, of conservatism, of the Compro
mise and the Union. 1 cannot conceive that
jurpcople wi'l ask more than the certainty of
this loyal and brotherly conduct of the North.
1 was persuaded that, upon a personal and
thorough examination into the facts, 1 snould be
able to give that assurance. 1 have sought it,
therefore —as already intimated —not al second
hand. but at tlto very sources of information ;
nave explored opinions ra'her through and amidst
the village and coumry populations, where
men’s ideas are most their own and genuine,
than in the gnat towns, where they are imita
tive, sudden, and of derivation from cliques and
party and tumultuary influences. The result is,
that I shall be able to speak ol the condition of
the public mind in New England not as of a
thing believed upon high testimony, but directly
and positively known, through faithful exami
nation by myself. I shall be able, therefore, to
speak, as I love to speak to our readers, with a
sttong confidence, a perfect assurance that 1 am
right ; and with that confidence, I now pledge
myself to Virginia and the South generally, that
not merely is New England, as 1 was told,
coming right upon the Compromise, but h s al
ready come right. There is not only a revolu
tion ot her public mind on foot, as to that sub
ject, but a revolution already etiecied; still in pro
gross, but needing no further advancement to
make ii either effectual or secure.
•* I have traversed all Yankeeland in several
directions. This, its most primitive State, I
have, halting in many of the smaller towns,
inspected, from Portland up to the borders of
Canada. I have lingered.at certain points,
somewhat in proportion as 1 found the popula
tion fit, by its rural and unsophisticated charac
ter, to give me a true image of tile unadulterated,
sober, un 1 aught, inanifical opinion of the real
people. 1 have talked with high and low, friend
and foe, conservatives and free-soilers, whig
and democrat, politicians and those who are
none, the laity and many parsons, the farmers,
the ariisans, the merchants, the manufacturers.
I spent three days in the wilds which surround
Moose-head Lake, among its lumber men and
hunters, the children of the forest and the fron
tier. Returning thence, I made my way up to
the great peaks of the White Mountains of
New Hampshire, Mount Washington and its
subordinates, and there met, at the celebration
of the opening of the Atlantic and St. Law
rence Railroad up to that point, a large body of
seople, from Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont
and Mas achussetts—an ample representation
of the most stirring and practical men in all nor
thern New England. With these—a company
of full three hundred—l partook, by invitation,
of a great dinner at Gorham. We temained at
table some four hours, listening to along se
ries of speeches and songs. Among the guest,
were several governors and ex-governors of
States, a Senator and an ex-Senator of the
United Slates, three or lour members of the
lower house of Congress, various learned di
vines and professors of Colleges, some half
dozen editors, many Railroad directors, lawyers,
merchants, farmers, and, in short, such a collec
tion of all sorts as must have embodied the
general spirit of the surrounding region, its
sense and ite nonsense, its knowledge and its
ignormce. The speeches, of course, were ap
propriately of little but the business in hand
Railroads : but in the conversation, a good deal
of politics was indulged I heard not a disloy
al sentiment expressed, nor any feeling uttered
but of a fair and friendly sort towards the South
and its institutions. Free-Soi ers there were
present, I know; but, as prooably not one in
twenty, and awaro that their opinions enjoyed a
decided isck of sympathy, they kept silent —all
except my undaunted friend, John P. Hale of
Ne , Hampshire. He, being brought to his legs
by a complimentary toast, made one of his jolly,
rollocking speeches, at ..nee shrewd and funny,
in the course of which he referred to the Union,
the danger in which every body said it had
stood, and his own efforts to preserve it. Ol his
anxieties and endeavours on that score, he
made, you may be sure, something quite droll.
I t liis conclusion, however, he adverted, with
great good feelings, to a visit which .he last
winter paid to Old Virginia; told a pleasent sto
ry of his good-natured reception there-; and
then, with many high compliments to the State,
offered her health and thatof a son of hers pres
ent at the table. 1 have seldom seen the name
of Virginia greeted by a more genetal or more
cordial applause than ensued It was such, I
assure you, as, at the hearty, warm, fraternal
feeling which it conveyed, niade my heart leap.
No mart could have stood mute under such hon
ors paid to the land of his affections : the Vir
ginian toasted by name replied as well as he was
able What he said, I hardly remember, beyond
anironical compliment or'two to Mr. da e, about
his marvellous oliorts in behalf of the Union and
its preservation. These were followed by a brief
encomium on the Compromise; which was re
ceived with very hearty plaudits. The speech
ended with a sen.iment to “ All the Compro
mises : the first great one among discordant in
terests and opinions which, in 1776, by an
unanimous Declaration, give us our Indepen
dence the second which, in 1737, by the adop
tion of the present Constitution, bestowed upon
us a government and made us a people; the
third which, in 1820, healed a sectional strife
and renewed our Union ; and the fourth, which
in 1850, composed forever, if faithfully observ
ed, the only dissension that can ever part us ”
“ The toast was cheered to the very skies, ap
parently by all present; and Its reception may
stand a sufficient token of the present feelings
of the North. But 1 must pause.”
Destructive Tornado.
The following account of a tornado which
passed over par's of Maryland and Pennsyl
vania, on Saturday night the 2(>th July last,
surpasses any thing of the kind we have ever
read.
The Cumberland (Aid ) Civi'ian says:
Its rz'mires in the neighborhood of Selbys
port and Accident were must terrible. Thou
-ands of trees were blown down, stopping up
the roads and producing a wilderness of con
lu-ion difficult to conceive Houses were un
roofed, barns and stables overthrown,and fields
of grain destroyed. At Selbysport, a child
was killed by the falling of a r.nf, aid in the
same vicinity a woman was carried oft' her feet
and torn to pieces by the hurricane.
The storm seems to f are leaped over large
tracts of countr > and fallen on secluded places.
Thus thehouse, barn and stable ot Mr Koontz,
lour miles S -nth of Foe burg, were unroofed,
snd eucti was the furv of the tempest that one
of the beams of the stable, «o large as to re
q lire eight men to lift it, was carried a distance
of nearly two miler.
A correspondent of the Civilian, writing
from Grantsville, says:—
"The damage done to all kinds of property
is very considerable, and will ba severely felt.
The loss of properly i< no the only loss, fcr
several lives were sacrificed by'he distressing
ciiarnity. Two littlo inftnis, whilst in a pro
f mid sleep, I ad the r brainsstnislied out by the
falling stones cf a chimney, which together
with tl e house, was pros trued to the g-ound.
'*T hestorm lasted but an instant a single blast
and was over. It seemed io have invaria
bly railed i n belts, a few hundred yards wide.
Some idea can be had of i s violence when I
stare that potatoes were torn out of the hard
ground.”
The Uniontownfl’a.) Democrat furnishes
the subjoined particiiHrs of its ravages in Fay
ette County r
I’ began at the farm and residence of Geo.
Vfetsell. The family occupied a large log
building, with an immense old fashioned Slone
ctitniney in the Western gtblo. The first
blast of the storm brought down the chimney
and crushed Mrs Wotsall und r it. Hugo
stones fell on Mr. Weise 11.
Half the floor was covered with s'nnee from
the depth of a fool to eivh'een inches. Many
■ f them weighed from Cf'v io eigh y pounds.
From under these Mr. Wetsali lit rally q iar
ried out his vile, finding her to a sitting pos
>ure, with ber h ;ad pressed dor u to the floor,
but the child was unhurt.
Over the top of the next hill it encountered
the earn and dwelling of Mr. Arison. The
oarn was not entirely de, roved, but the dwelling
was a heap of ruins Both Mr aud Mrs. Art
isoti were badly hurt—he navi :g several of
his ribes broken, aud etio be ng terribly cut
and bruised
Descending the hill a short diitance, it en
countered tne resdsneo of the Rev. Mr.
Rose, a two story atone building. The family
cons.sled of ten person, one being absent
from home. Nothing was left but a i mall
angle of the first story O.e girl, thirteen years
old was instantly killed —all the rest are badly
injured. Tnrea ot the family were sleeping .n
Che garret—they were found fif.y or sixty pa
ces distant lying in an adjoining field. Tho
hat of ona ol tile boys was touad oa the farm
of Col. Bute, three miles distant.
Crossing two fields and a small ravine, the
storm next encountered the frame barn and
dwelling of James Suwart. The latter was
a two story bui'ding with a eione basement.
Roused by at. unusual roaring in the air, Air.
Se wart steppe I to his door, aud by the glare of
lightning he saw limbs of trees and all eons
of rubbish rushing and reeling through the air.
In an instant he siezed one child, hie wife
another, and they ru.hed to the basement.
There was but one bias:and a crash, and his
Ponse was gone.
In one minute there was.a perfect calm. He
lit a candle and there was cot a to dis
turb it in the open air He proceeded to search
lor two other-children which Were sleeping on

to the floor, he found a wooden partition, and
on top of that jeveral Urge togs Crawling

The lesidence of Mr. Strong withstood the
