The amount of the loss in buildings and other pro
pelt;. is large, but we have no means of arriving at
the amount. Most of the tenements were of wood,
and were built in the early aetilament of the city,
and it whh contemplated by the owners of several,
to have them taken down soon and replaced by
better Hlruetuiv: -which we trust will be done, us
hood ns t!»•* mat* rials (which are now very source,
owin/ to the ((n ut number of buildings going up,)
can be procured.
Out tire companies ns usual, did’their duty to
the fullest ex tent in their power, and to their exer
tions our citizens nr > indebted for saving the re
mainder of the buildings on the block where the tire
occurred.
No personal injury ws* sustained during the tiro,
but a few hours afterwards, a chimney fell by which
a si n of J. .1. (ireslmm, Esq., had l*is leg broken, and
was otherwise considerably injured.
From the large numb* rof our citizens who have
thus suddenly become houseless, it has been with
great, dibit ulty that, they have ge< ured locutions for
business, even (d the moat contracted and indiffe
rent order, and we are not aware that all have yet
beta located. _
Ferry Boat t *»* - * r, and Fifteen Lives Lost.
—-The city was thrown into the most terrible excite
ment, th< n."ruing, by the announcement that the
South Fe*ry Boat hud capsized, loaded with passen
gers. The news spread like wildfire, and thousands
hurried to the■ spot eager to lcaru if uuy of their
friends weie on board. Upon proceeding to the
spot, a most heart rending scene presented itself.
The riv<-i was tilled with boats dragging for the
(lead bodies. Husbands, wives and children were
standing in breathless anxiety awaiting the result,
and the whole pr< seated a scene which we should
never wish to look upon again.
The facts in the case an* these, as we have them
from the lost authority: The boat was loaded down
with p -s* ngers, mostly working men, coming over
to the south side to work. The boat being full,
they commenced pulling acrosi without the ferry
man. When they had nearly reached tho middle of
the rivi r, the ferryman slack< ned the rope anparent
!y to let u m iiooner pas. that was warjnug hum n,al
though it is stated by several who were on board
that th»*ve was plenty of time to have pulled Heroes.
The siuckcuin/ of the rope checked tho boat's head
way i.ml ki eled her over to one side; at the same
time the i ope of the schooner canght across the rail
ing ot tin* h • it, and in an instant she Capsized and
turned bottom t ide upwards.
A new railing h nlpust been put upon tho boat,
and several g« ttingjunmed in wt re unable to ox
tneate i.ln i telves. B'ats were instantly dispateh
ed to the i cut , and eomnieuced picking them up.
At tin pit * i time, owing to the great excite
nu-ut, it is imj <sible to j* < ; rt.ntn the number of
those lost. A eight o'clock, six bodies lmd been
drawn out, and tin who were aboard judge that
there nut have been, nt the least calculation,
as many as ten U \ ami many place It as high as
fifteen.
The names of tho-"* lost who have thus far been
recowrcd and nVntified, areas follows:

HAL Sir John Ross, C. B.—The English paper* an
nounce the death of R*-ar Admiral Sir John Ross. !
the celebrated Arctic navigator. He was in hi* j
noth year, and up till the period of his brief i’lner*, |
was Ktrong and active to a Rurpris»ing degree, con
sidering the hardship* to which he had been exposed 1
in the many scenes, trying alike to mind and body,
through which be had paased. This gallant Arctic i
vcyager entered the navy as far back a* 178<>. and
during the late war was constantly engaged actively.
Hi* most important services were rendered in the
Arctic region*, where in 1818 he proceeded alone
with Sit W K ]*»nrv In the Driver he proceeded,
for the purpose of exploring Baffin's Bay, inquiring
into the possibility of a north west passage.
The result* of hi* investigations are detailed by
Captain Boss, in bin Voyage ‘if D«eoverypub!i*h
edinlßßh He was afterward*, from May. l&Jlh
until Oct., 1833 employed in the Victory steamer,
on a fresh expedition to the Arctic regions, equipped
at the exfiense of the present Sir Felix Booth. He
received the honor of knight hood, together with the
Companionship of the Bath, December 24,1834.
On March 8, 1831*, he was appointed consul at
Stockholm, where he remained several years. Da
ring the war Sir John Ro**, in three different ac
tion*, was thirteen time* wounded. In considera
tion of Ids services, be was presented hr the Pat ri
otic Society with a sword, valued at £IOO, and for
services performed by him in the Baltic he w’a*
nominated a Knight Command rof the Swedish
i trder of the Sword. He wm alwi a knight of sev
eral other foreign Hrder*. Among other works, Sir
John wrote “Letters U> Young Sea Officers/* “Me
moirs and Correspondence of Admiral I»rd de
Saumarez/’ and a “Treatise on Navigation by
Stearn.”
Service at the North.—The following is aa ex
tract of a letter from a gentleman of Mempluz, who
ha* recently returned from a Northern tour, with his
family :
You ask me with much solicitude about Bfarion.
It was a risk, I Acknowledge, to tak~ her on ; but
my wife had oontidence in her, and insisted that nhe
should be trusted. She wm approached at every
place we made a stop at, will offer* of freedom,
plenty of money, a white husband, and other temp
tations ; but she invariably replied that she wan
well Created and happy . that sh*- had a kind master
and mistress, wboee children Bite loved a* her own ;
and that ah-* wished nothing better than to spend the
rest oi her life with such protectors.
At Niagara, New York, J »ng Branch, Cape May,
Philadelphia, Newport, and other places, the was
tempted m every way possible by white giiis and
tree negroes, but she invariably communicated to
her mistress, within a half hour afterwords, every
word that was said to her.
She asked the white girl who approached her in
N*-w York, “ How much money she wa* pu.d per
month V' “ Six dollar* per month,” wa* her reply.
“ What time do you go to bed, and what time do
you get up;’ said Marion. “We retire at eleven
or twelve, and arise at tliree or four/’ was the au
swer. Addressing herself to one of the girls, “What
number of room* do >ou clean up ?” “ Fourteen,’'
wn* the reply. “If you get *w*k who attends you?”
•• Ihe doctor, to be *ure.” “ Who pays the doctor?”
“We do, ourselves.” “If you happen to have no
rrc :i‘*y, who pay* the doctor tie n ? Now,” Ray*
Morion, to the while girl*, “I prefer to return to
the South, and live with my master. When I am
nick, he pays the doctor to attend me , lie gives me
clothe* null l*>ard that comes to much more than mx
dollar* per inoub ; and if ytm wish me to leave my
master and mi«tres*, you must offer better induce
mentis than i have yet ween—for, to tel! the truth, I
never knew what real hard laborious work was, till
1 saw it among the free persons of the North during
my short trip here.”
The consequence of all this, as you have already
conjectured, is that Marion is now with us, delight
ed to place her feet again upon slave territory, and
happy that she is not a white wervant girl of the
North.!
Thk Tory' Pine. —Seeing mention, says the Clin
ton Independent of the Charter Oak, a few days
since, brought to our mind the remembrance of the
‘*Tory Pine.” In the lower part of Sampson coun
ty, North Carolina, almost in sight of Treadwell’s
Cross Hoads, stands a large pine, known as the
‘ Tory Pine.” This notable tree stands in asw amp
i uj rounded by a very dense undergrowth, and can
only be seen by the exercise of some trouble undpa
tience, and the endurance of a few brier scratches.
During the Revolutionary War there were a few
Tories in that region of country lying between
Black River and Moore’s Creek. These Tories
iound themselves at one time in so critical a condi
tion as to make concealment necessary; so they en
camped m the swamp and built their fires by the
aide of this large pine. There they concealed them
selves for months, and lived by what game they
could capture in the woods, ana the assistance of
their female relatives, who met them at stated
times. The “Tory Pine” is doubtless the monarch
of many centuries, and still looks green and flourish
ing. It is 30 feet in ciretiinference at the ground,
and 27 foet in circumference three feet above the
ground. The scar made by the lire is 5 feet broad
and 7 feet high, and this hollow has often served us
a shelter for hunters and persons working in the
adjacent woods. Long may the old tree live, as a
testimony that the Tories of the Revolution found it
more expedient to hide than to fight.
Wiiy Lons Napoleon Made Peace with Rus
sia.—The Liverpool (Eng.) Daily Post relates the
following :
We have heard a very extraordinary story, which
according to custom, We give as we heard it, to the
reader. Mr. Dauby Seymour, Secretary to the
Board of Control, is a very clever and a very indis
creet man. The other day he was parrying a gene
ral conversation in a large company about the
(Jueen (dowager) of Oude’s mission to this country,
lie confessed her vigorous Majesty was likely tooc
casion a little trouble during the recess, and still
more during the session approaching. “But as for
that,” said Mr. Seymour, grambiingly, “that Oude
affair play ed the deuce from the first.” “In what
wav V' “Why, the fact is, it wasn’t Clarendon, at
Paris, but it was Dalhousie, at Calcutta, finished the
Russian war.” Pressed for explanation, he contin
ued, “Why, when the news of that infernal annex
ation came, Russia and Prussia and Austria made
the mori ot it, uud besieged Louis Napoleon with
representations that we were doing in India pre
cisely what Russia was attempting to do in the east
of Europe ; uud the Emperor wantiug the excuse
perhaps, wrote and spoke emphatic condemnation
of the act. and declared distinctly that he could not
continue an ally in a war of which our proceedings
in India were a satire.”
Fugitive Slave in Italy.— -The Florence, Italy,
correspondent of the Newark Advertiser, writing
on the 20th August, says :
An excellent Virginia lady, who has been so
journing here some years with her family, having re
cently made arrange inept a to return home, found
on the eve of departure that a negro girl of some 22
years of age who had been brought up and most
kindly treated as a confidential domestic, had been
Advised to leave her and remain in the country,
which she resolved to do, notwithstanding her own
manifest attachment to her benefactress and her
children. The girl besides having been well instruc
ted in the more common branches of an English ed
ucation, ha 1 been taught both French and Italian,
under tins benefioieut care. She had, moreover,
been repeatedly assured that she might consider her
self tree whenever she could advantageously change
her circumstances. Yet the influence of numerous
advisers here had prevailed, find she remains in a
land of strangers, under the alarming coujurations
of Italian imaginations. A New Orleans lady lost a
favorite domestic iu the same way a few months
since, and the poor orea ure, having thus deprived
herceif of early associations, and a sure support,
lost her wits in tin* trial, and is now in a lunatic
asylum. It should be added to the honor of the lady
first named, that she has made ample provisions
through a friend here to secure her lost favorite
from snob a contingency.
Bik’Hanin's Prospects is Pennsylvania.—
The Berks County Press, a Fillmore paper, pub
lished at Reading, Penn., in its issue of Tuesday
morning, contains the following :
“Dl-t RET ION THE BETTER PART OF VALOR.—
The friends ot Mr. Bu(*hanau have become con
vineed of tin* utter hopelessness of their cause, and
of their inability to secure the election of their can
didates. Despair has seized upon them, and they
have very wisely concluded that it would be best
for Mr. Buchanan to withdraw entirely from the
contest. A consultation was held on Friday last, at
Kphratu Springs, which was attended by a consid
erable number of his Read ng friends, and at which
the matter was said to have been warmly and
spirituously discussed. The conclusion arrived at
has not yet been made public, but it is such as will,
no doubt, permit him to remain nominally iu the
field with no hope of an election. The signs of the
times are such as must satisfy any observing man,
that the Democracy, with their Cincinnati platform,
will scarcely carry a single State iu the Union. * *
Mr. Buchanan will only oe able to carry two coun
ties for certain—Berks aud York—with a slim
chance for ouly eleven more. These facts have
come home to his friends, and they can do nothing
to prevent it.”
Democratic Testimony. —A New York cor
respondent of the Savannah News, gives the fol
lowing gloomy picture of Mr. Buchanan's prospects
at the North.
“During this contest for the Presidency at least
there will be no tallying the mass of the Northern
people to the Democratic party: and if Mr. Bu
chanan should fortunately be elected, it will be by
the barest possible majority, reckoning all the South
ern States go for him. 1 must confess that since
m\ arrival at the North I have feared the result.—
California is the most, and perhaps, the ouly relia
ble Stale of the North ; but her vote is of litt’e weight
in the electoral college. New York is very doubt
ful and as to Pennsylvania, the great hope of the
I Vmocratie party, as being the native State of Mr.
Buchanan, that is uncertain.”
The Pei i-tiai >is Californih.—A California
paper states that six clippers brought in recently
about two thousand Chinamen to San Francisco.—
The editor goes on to say : “It is very amusing to
s«*e them streaking through the street, following
the carts containing their baggage, the drivers of
which, itist for snort, drive on a short trot, and
frighten the poor Johns with the idea that they are
about to lose their trap*. We saw a flock, a day
or two since, of fifty or more iu full chase of a
job wagon ahead, that was moving off at a lively
pace, containing a lot of goods aud chattels that
smelled of camphor, wool and opium smoke. The
wind was blowing strong dead ahead, aud the tails
streamed straight out behind, aud snapping in the
breeze, and the Celestials hollow tug ‘High-vali!
higii-yoo '.' A flock of them came across a donkey
having with it ajuveni'c donkitu about a week old.
T: is was something new. They bah yah’d aud
walked around it several tunes : dually cue of them
discovered that it had a tail, and undertook to unfold
i’-: he took hold of it and straightened it out. They
all gathered around, deeply .interested iu the new
specie of ‘John.’ when the new institution resented
the idea of a relationship by letting drive both heels
into the receptacle of the party, knocking down a
half dozen and putting the baiauoe to flight.”

The cross-tie* to 180,000.
Pr posai*. sealed, endorsed, and directed to the under

sections, of one mile each :
V. For the cr»s*-tie* to be furnished, the number
specified;
VL For the entire construction, ready for the iron,
of either of the three divisions hereinafter named of said
road ;
The eastern division, connected with the completed
road at or near the town cf Brandon, extends to the Mo
bile and Ohio road, 824 miles, which will be divided into
three sub divisions ; the first of 21 miles, the second of 28
miles ; the third of Sii miles.

monthly in cash, as the work progresses, reserving twen
ty per cent for final settlement. 2. One-half in cash,
payable in the- same way, snd one-half in the stock of the
company. 3. One-third in cash, payable in the same
way. one third in the stock of the compauy, and one-third
in the bonds of the company, payable in ten years, with
interest at -ix per cent, payable annually. 4. Payable
entirely in the stock of the road.
The proposals, to be considered, mu*t be accompanied
by satisfactory reference* or credentials, and the com
pany reserve the right of accepting any or declining ail.
Maps, profiles and specifications may be seen at this
office; and any further information w ill be furnished up
on application to the undersigned.
The Southern Roilroad commences at Jackson, the
capital ol the State, and is finished as far as the town of
Brandon ; and is m good running erder and well eqnipped
to that point It extend* from Brandon in a line almost
directly east eighty-two and a half miles, to the intersec
tion of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, a few miles below
the town of Marion, in Lauderdale county, and passes
through the counties of Rankin, Scotland Newton. The
line is over a high rolling country, well watered and
timbered, and in point of healthfumess, economical living,
Ac , equal to the most favored portions of the Carolines
and Georgia. The grading, except for the first twenty
miles, is generally light; and upon the most of the sec
tions the excavation snd embankment alternate favora-
bly ; the exceptions being in the two heaviest cuts. The
material Hos a character easily moved ; the growth of
the country affords abundance of timber suitable for
bridging and cross-tie*; and it is believed tha; no work
otters, in facilities for construction, greater inducements
to contractors, especially those using negro labor.
This company is entirely out of debt, and has due to
it by reliable stockholders, about $330,000, which will
doubtless be paid as the Board of Managers may call
itj in. It is also a recipient nnder the recent grant of
lands made by Congress, if they can be had along the
line, which is believed to be the case, of nearly 400,000
acres of land.
The Road connects with and is an extension of
the Vicksburg and Jackson Railroad, completed and in
full operation to the Missippi river at Vicksburg ; oppo
site which city, iu Louisiana, commences the Vicksburg,
Shreveport and 1 exas Railroad, now nnder contract for
its whole distance and in rapid progress of construction.
It intersects the New-Orleans and Jackson Great North
ern Railway at Jackson ; and through that, at Canton,
connects with the Mississippi Central Railway, the iron
of which is now being laid to Holly Springs. 7». inter
sects with the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, as already
stated, near Marion, and at its point of intersection meets
with the Northeastern and Southwestern Railroad in
Alabama, and through that unites with the Roads in Vir
ginia, Tennessee and North Carolina. It is also an in
dispensable link in the line of Railways that are to unite
Charleston and SavaDnah, through Montgomery, Vicks
burg, Shreveport ami El Paso, with the Pacific Ocean,
running its entire length on the same parallel of latitude
with these places It is thus obvious that this line of
work is one of the most important unfinished enterprises
in the country. It is thoroughly national in its character;
tor it unites Maine and New-Orleans, and the Atlantic
and the Mississippi, by indissoluble bonds. But whilst
thus national, it appeals especially for aid to Southern
men and Southern enterprise, for when completed, with
the intermediate gap in Alabama, it will, with it* con
nections, now built and being built, run right through
the heart of those great Southern cotton growing States,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South
Carolina, and unites the great inland sea with the broad
ocean.
These facts are stated to call attention to this line of
road, and to induce capitalists and contractors to embark
liberally in its construction. The fifteen miles of com
pleted Railroad with its equipments and sixty valuable
slaves, many of them mechanics, is a bonus from the
State of Mississippi; the public laud has been donated
by Congress; and it is, perhaps, not greatly over-esti
mating the present property of the road to put it at or
near one million of dollars, in which sum future stock
holders who may become such by direct subscription of
money or work, will be at once equally interested It
will thus be seen that this Road presents peculiar induce
ments to men of means to engage in its construction.

SCIRRHUS BREAST CAN BE CURED.
LET THE PUBLIC READ!
IN MERCY to the afflicted, and the gratitude and
high opinion 1 entertain of Dr. MOSEI.JCT as a Surgeon
and Physician, I deem it my duty to mention the case of
my wife, hoping, at the same time, that all persons simi
larly afflicted may be benefitted by it. In the first part
of this year, my wife had several small lumps to make
their appearance in her breast. They continued to in
crease in size, until the whole breast became a diseased
mass, and very painful. I procured the best medical aid
in the city of Rome, and notwithstanding the earnest and
faithful attention of the most skilful physicians, she con
tinued to grow worse and worse, until they gave the case
up as incurable, and advised amputation. I was advised
by many of my friends to visit DR, W. R. MOSELEY,
of Griffin, Ga., which I did, and, astonishing as it may
seem, he had her entirely cured within one month , and she
is now in good health 1 I would advise all who are af
flicted with Scirrhus, and Cancerous affections, to visit
the Doctor without delay, as I am satisfied by experience
and observation, that he is the most skilful Physician in
the Southern Statos in the treatment of that horrible dis
ease—Cancer. WILLIAM H. MITCHELL,

r j I HE undersigned, Laving permanently located
X Teachers, respectfully solicit the patronage of thei
friends and the public generally.
From years of experience in teaching, and a constant at
tention to the duties of their profession, they flatter them
selves that the system of instruction which they are now
prepared to give students pursuing a regular classics
course, cannot be surpassed by any similar institution in
the State. To parents, therefore, designing to give their
sons a Collegiate education, their serv ices are especially
tendered, since a thorough acquaintance with the pre
paratory studies is indispensable to the student's progress
throughout his whole course. In their Academy pupils
will be prepared to enter the higher classes of College, or
if preferred, thoroughly instruct a more practical
and business course.
The accessibility, health and qaietness of their loca
tion—its freedom from scenes and causes of dissipation—
induce them to hope for a continuance of that liberal
patronage which for many years they have not failed to
secure.
A strict regard will be paid to moral training, and the
general deportment of each pupil carefully observed.
The Academies for the Male and Female pupils are
separate—also, their Boarding Houses ; while the gov
ernment, discipline, course of studies, Sec., (A both depart
ments, will be under the control and supervision of the
Principal.
Although not required, it is preferred that pupil* be
boarded with the Teachers TL
