Destkcotion of J. Jt J. O’Ghady’s (Late Jcp
•ovs Hotel —Los. $60,000. —About eight o’clock
this morning, a liio broke out in the drying room
cf the laundry connected with O’Grady’s Hote*,
in Broadway, a short distance below Wall street.
The building exteuds through the block, from
broadway to the street in the rear, and the apart
ment in wh ch the fire originated, was located
about half way between the two fronts, and the
names Hashed up through the heaters, and the
stairway, which wasjust above, spreading through
the several stairs with great rapidty.
The number of gaests m the house was smaller
than usual, numbering about fitly, a portion of
whom were at breakfast whou the almm w&sgiv.n.
Both Boarders and servants were seized with the
greatest alarm, and fled precipitately, many of
them leaving all their apparel and other effects
behind. All the silver employed in the establish
ment, even that upon the table, was lost. For
tunately, no loss of life occurred though it is re
ported that one woman was badly burnt, and there
were several narrow escape*. Mr. Griswold, of the
Express no ?.*spaper office, who wr.s quito advanc
ed iu life, was compelled to reach the atreetby
means of a ladder, irom tho second or third story,
losing all o/his effects. Tho individual losses or
the borders is considerable, in soma ics'ances.

tbe steamship Northern Ligh:, lest SB9O iu gold,
which was in his trunk.
The fire was vorv fortunately confined to the
premi in which it originated, comparatively little
dam go was done to property adjoining. Had
the two immense stores on the North side be. n

of the conflagration;'bat the destruction was, iti
effect, already completed. As the building was
something like 200 feet in depth, tbs water poured

The necet i y for procuring steam fire engine:',
us has been of -a urged, wt* again pr. f-omc i in a
most urgent form Mr. M itself, the Chief of Po
lice, (who with Capt. % Leonard, and numerous
members of tho 4 R- erva<i Corps,” was present,)
oppressed tiie opiui' n that ono”or more of these
machines would have extinguished the lire, or
blown tho building in \ eces by tho expansive
force of tho steam generated. Similar remark
wore made by experienced officers ol lur ranew
companies present; so that it would seem e
though further delay in this matter was oquivu
lent to culpable negligence. Since steam appara
tus has !'«;:i employed for the extii-guishn.iu : <>i'
fires, sufficient property has been destroyed in
this city from the neglect of their use, to I borough
ly equip the entire Fire Department of New Vork
with this indispensable instrument.
The building now dostroyod had a haudso , e
but plain froot of stone which will probably s and
until taken down, but the combustible po lions
of the structure are almost wholly destroyed. The
books and papers, with a very little furniture,
were saved.
The property was formerly known aa Mrs.
Mann’y boarding house, bat was thoroughly re
built by Mr. Judson.
While the fire was progressing, a gentle -au
who whs employed in £. IR Arnold’s dry goods
establishment, who had been aotivoiy engaged in
removing goods, was overcome by the ileal and
fatigue, and taken into Adams & Co.’s Express
office, where ho remained in an insensible condi
tion until removed. Tho fire erased tho temper a
ry removal of tho California department of tho
Express office to the foot of Warren a treat, untl
the California steamer departed.
Viewed from tho roofs adjacent, the fire pre
sented a spectacle approaching to sublimity. Upon
peering over the stone coping, when tho direc
tion of the wind allowed of approach, there w*;
presented to the eye an abyss of lushing iLm<*,
about two bundled feet in length by perhaps fifty
iu depth, from which wuh vomited, as from some
vast tunnel, a volume of smoko and intense boat,
bearing upwards firobruuds sheets of roofing, and
showers oi cinders, which wore carried a long dis
tance. From behind chimnios, or w*l: .. oil.. rob

sweeping over them. Several, however, k-d their
whiskers, hair, and clothing much burnt, before
they yielded in the unequal contest.
Tho insurance on the IoA«e and contents of the
house, including furniture and supplies, amounted
to |40,500.
The building was the property of Harrison
otevens, of Montreal, tho present owner of Del*
monico s, who iB believed to be insured for $ J,-

Messrs. Adams A Co., causing damage 10 tho
amount of about SI,OOO. They owned the build

beautiful, and have met with but blight damage.
This, adds the Express, iu greatly to bo rejoiced
over, as they have, in their way, one of tho most

this, as in tho cnee of tho destruction ol the Saw

diabolical spirit of incendiarism, which, fi-r Rome
unaccountable reason, teems to pursue Dr. 1.

Tho Cincinnati Price Current, in a recent article

Agricultural Difficulties,’’ after {referring to cer
ium well known facts going to show that the cause
of tho present commercial derangements iu the
country is owing to an increase in our commerce
without a corresponding increase in our agricul
tarai products, proceeds to point the immense
amount—s4B,4lß,Blß —this country annually pays
to foreign countries for the products of their plants
—Flax, the Mulberry and the Vine—which might
be easily raised at home. The writer says:
The facts prove what the balance of trado also
ah }ws, that commerce, or rather foreign commerce,
i;as advanced beyond the increase ot agriculture.
Their pace is not equal. This leads us to the con-
Mdcration we have alluded to— ichat is the deficien
cy of agriculture, can it be remedied ? The oxposi
dou of our foreign trade shows some extraordina- ,
ry toe One, ind tho most cxirfiordiuary, ia, that (
’•he importation of article* made from three plants ,
(w 9 oxcludo cotton) as native and easily ooltiva- i
ted, as Indian Corn, exceeds all our exportation of t
corn; and, if those articles wero ruisod [ n this
country they should be)—this change in a-rri- r
culture alone would restore the balaucoof trade
leavo the corn in tho country, and prevent almost l
iho possibility ot commercial revulsion arising out m
oi iorcugn commerce. The ifiants irom whicn ■

It is stated that a bar of iron, of almost any size,
may bo instantly sundered while hot, by the sim
ple application of a piece of common roll brim
stone. A knowledge of this'fact will bo useful
when some piece of iron work is required to bo
revered, but which, as is sometimes the case, is so
constructed and situated that no ordinary chisel
ur cutting tool can be brought to apply. Holes
piay be instantly'perlorated through bars or plutes
of heated iron, by tho application of pointed pie
ces of brimstone. There is ulso a method of saw
ing or cuttiug hardened steel, by means of a circu
lar piece of common thin iron plate, or sheet iron,
adjusted to a lathe, or otherwise put into violent
rotary motion; this will readily cut off a pile, cut
ting tool, or tempered steel spring, without draw
ing or reducing the tomper.
Bou e curious questions in tho obscurer branches
o scicnconavo b-®u recently donated at tho Lon
don lioyal Institute. Dr. Tyndall has been exam
ining the subject of tones omitted by masses of
healed metri while cooling. Ho pioved by re
peated experiments, tho incorrectness of tho ox
piauation hitherto received, but was still unable
t<. assign the phenomena to their true cause. An
other was on some most extraordinary effects of
motion, which tho Kev. B.idin Powell clcmocstra
tsd, ono of the effects being this: Lot a beam,
free Irom turn iu all directions, be balanced hori
zontally on tho top of a standard, then put a small
wheel on ono end, causo it to rotate rapidly, and
tho beam will still -eUan ita horizontal position,
notwithstanding the weight of the wheel. It is as
though motion nullified gravity; but as some of
tho most ingenious English philosophers aro ex
amining into tho phenomena, an explanation, it
is thought, will soon bo found.
Dr. Lard nor states that in tho exporiments made
by him and M. Loverrier, in elaetric transmission,
net sages were sent over a space of ono thousand
miles of wire without inter modi ate battery power,
and with a terminal battery of very limited power,
886 miles of the wire upon which the currant was
transmitted, were iron, a very iudiff ront conduc
tor, and the remaining 743 miles wore oojjper wire
of exceedingly small/liameter. It : s certain, there
fore, that by reason oi tho inferior conducting
power of the ono part, and the very small trans
verse section of tho other part, this laugth 1082
miles (fibred a much greater resirtar.ec to tho
transmission of the current, than would 1000 miles
of copper wire, such as is usually selected for sub
marine cables. Nothing would bo o&a ; or than to
give thocoppor w.-re italosed in tho cablo each a

insure the tiansm tbion of a current of sufficient
intensity.

Yet, after doing all this, for Gon. Cass to have

and that with characteristic Yankee ingenuity,

the Pioneer by Mr. J. T. Gresham and Dr. Curler,
of Leon county, who had just returned to Centro

citement grew to such a leurml height as to load
to the secret execution and horrid mutilation of a
| man named Wells, who hud boon implicated, by
the confession of another person, of the name of

More ox the Excitement in Navabbo County.
—lt seems that soon after tho nogrocs wore miss
ing, circumstances transpired which induced
El licit and some of his neighbors to suspicion two
R men who wore in his employ or being concerned
in the thoft. The circametaucoa that led to the
‘ suspicion of these men seem to have transpired
through a cook ol Liiioit’s, the moth ir of the
negro boy, who told that the boys had been per
suaded ou by tnesG men, with tho understanding
3 that they were to be sold and raaioleu for some two
' or three times, and finally to be curried to Moxi o,
1 where they should be iroa. A third party, who is
now at huge with the negroes, it seams was to do
> the cunning and soiling, and afterwards to return
: and divide proceeds with the other two. Tho
; plan to prevout detection was to black the negroes,
they being very bright mulatlocs.
On the strength of this, one of the men in the
employ of Elliott wan ui rested by u posse of tho
citizens, and was induced to mako a confession,
corroborating in every particular tho fuels juct ro
lated. He stated further, that ho and the other
man, Wells, had become uneasy about tho matter,
and had resolved to murder Col." Elliott. Th •. plan
wa.-> for him to decoy Elliott into tho bottom, where
thoy were gotting timber, under tho pretecco of
showing them whero tho iinoa ran, for fear that
they would trespass on land that did not belong to
him, and that Wells was to shoot him from am
bush. Elliott corroborates this statement, and seye
ho rolusod to go on account of suspicion of foul
play, knowing at tho time that tho men knew the
linos or his land batter than ho did.
After getting this confession, search was imme
diately made by various parlies for Wells, bat
without, itissaid, saccoedicg iu arresting him.—
On Friday, the 27th ult., his body was found in
Chambers crcok, by aomo persons who were eu
gaged in building a bridge, and who were hunting
oxen at tho tiino, and were attracted to tho spot by
a gang ol bcueardfl. When found ho was floating
near the surface of the water, between a forked,
limb, which hud, to all appearancos, been placed
over him for the purpose of holding tho body to
tho bottom. Around hie neck was tho print of a
reap. Ilia abdomen had been ripped open and his
bowels torn out, thus louring little doubt but he
was hanged, afterwards his body thrown in the
creek for concealment. Tho body, from appear
ances, had been in the crcok but a short time, pro
bobly fourteen or twenty hours.
The parties, or some ot them, engaged in tho
search lor Wells are suspicioned of tho murder,
and their li es are threatened. One or two of
them have gone to Corsicana and demanded a
trial, alleging th« ir innocence.
When our informant left, tho greatest excitement
prevailed, and it was feared that bloodshed would
ensue.
bi ill Later r.«.or Navakbo County —Horbibl*
Disclosures. —l>y tho hand of Dr. Carter wc have
received a copy of tho report ol tho Coroner’s Jury>
that hold inauo.it, on tho 29th ult., over tho body
of J. H. Weils, found in Chamber’s Creek, aa re
lated in another placo.
The jury say that tho deceased “came to his
death on or i bout tho 19lh of this month (Octo
ber) by violent hands, there being a mark around
hie neck as though he bad boon hanged with a
cord by the nock—wound undor hie loft arm evi
dently inflicted with a knife—bruisee on his arms
lb though he had been tied—the privates cut en
tirely off—hia abdomen split open tho whole
length with a knife, and Lis bowels taiteu out,
together with hiß liver, heart and lungs. His
. pants were drawn up around his wuist and but
toned. lie wlb found afloat in Chamber’s creek,
but had evidently been place . there under a log,
with some limbs on him.”
From tho evidence detailed before the inquest,
and from other circumstances, the jury say that
tho deceased came to nis death by the act, procure
rmnt aud counsel of nine persons, by the jury
named, and other unknown. Among the nine
persons accused o! this foul deed, arc some of tho
most respectable and prominent men in tho county
of Navarro; and as our iuiormant stated, thatthey
all stood their trial balore an examining court and
were conorably acquitted, wo shall omit their
names, considering that if innocent, it will be
doing them injustice, and if guilty it will not for
v/ard the ends of justice.
The barbarous and shocking .mutilation de
scribed in the report of the Jury, savors more
; of the fiend than ol men, and unless upon proof
i the most clear and convincing, wo cannot believe
that men of the high standing and hoDoraole feol
■ i iog that we know some of the accused to bo, could
' have consented to such fiendish work, much less
a ; ded and abetted it. Wo arc, however, happy to
1 stale that no cxcc k h was committed, but tho law
i peaceably allowed to take its way, and that no 8p
prehension of violet co are at present entertained.
Mr. Garter informs us that M.oigan was the prin
cipal witness ag&iubt the accused before the mug*-,
trato, and that upon being a u kea if his confession
i implicated h inself and Wells in the abduction of
i Col. Elliott’s negroes y/ab true, ho answered that it
» was not, but waa made e.i an expedient to save his
i life, which he supposed was in danger, ho Doing
surrounded by a party of men, who placed a rope
around bis nock, and told bun o say what ha had
. to say, as he had but five minutes.
This transaction forcibly id nitrates how one ex
; cess may load to anothcr-th danger of men ta
kir ‘t law and jua’ice iuto their own hands, ice
1 for -cd cot.fe -sion of Morgan, if it did not lead to
, thedea’h and mutillfc'ion of .Veils, »t least opened

nine hundred and ninety nine eases cut of ono
thousand, prove the safer and better resort.
