T. H. Harris, wo are indebted for full flies ° r Phila
delphia papers of Woduesday. They give at great
length telegraghio reports of the Baltic's news.
War had nof been declared by EngUud, but it wa*
stated on thoauthority ol the Paris correspondence
of the London Morning Chronicle, that the telegraph
ic announcement of the Cur's refusal-in terms
short, dry and disdainful-was received by the French
Government via Berlin, 18th, and that as *con as the
English Minister waa made acquainted with tho an-
■wer, he dispatched a courier by way or tho Prussian
ports or the Baltic, to Admiral Napier, in order that
he may be prepared to act upon bis instructions, j
Tho English government waa only waiting the at-
rival of the messenger with the Czar's refusal. So
soon as the official refusal comes to hand, the an
nouncement will be mado to both Houses of Parlia
ment, and war will be formally declared.
The confidential correspondence between tho Eng.
lish and Russian governments has been published.—
They relate tho conversations which had occurred be
tween tho Cxar and the English Minister.
In talkiug of the position of the Turkish Empire,
Nicholas said he would consont to givo Egypt and
the Island of Candia to England, while Russia would
keep the protectorate of the Principalities, Servia and
Bulgaria. In connection with these documents is also
published memorandum by Count Nesselrode, sent
for approval to the British government, and founded
on communications from Nicholas subsequently to
his visit to England in 4844.
Tho drift of tho lust named memorandum is, that
Russia and England having a preponderance, the
former by land and the latter by sea, In the affairs
of Turkey should come to an understanding how to
divide the spoils In the event ot the Turkish Empire
crumbling to pieces.
Russia and Austria being in nnison, the Crar con
sidered that if England’s adhesion could be gained,
France would be compelled to submit to their views.
The reports which we have already given of the
depression in tho Liverpool cotton market are Hilly
confirmed. McHenry's circular says :—The cotton

Terrible Fire In Jacksonville!—ltellef for

We are indebted to the Jacksonville Republican
for the account which we publish, of the late very
disastrous fire in Jacksonville. From other sources
wo learn that the suffering and destitution among a
large number of -he inhabitants of that lately thriv
ing place, is truly deplorable. It is gratifying that
Immediately on tho receipt of tho intelligence in this
city, a movement was mado to raise subscriptions for
the relief of the most necessitous. In a few hours a
private subscription of about eight hundred dollars
was mado up for tills noble object. We are iufarmed
that His Honor tho Mayor will issue his proclamation
calling an early meeting of the citizens to take action
in relation to a contribution by the corporation. Let
this by all means be done—and in tho mean time ht
not private charity withhold its gifts.
Hall road Meeting In Thontasvllle.
We have received, too late, however, for publica
tion In our present issue, tho proceedings of the Rail
road convention, held at Thomasville on the 5th hist,
They exhibit a determined purpose in favor or a rail
road connection with the Atlantic. They say “we
have been disappointed in tho aid we expected from
the Northern stockholders in the Brunswick and
Florida Railroad, and although wc arc pleased to
know that some among them are able, willing and
ready to go on with us in the work, yet we feel it
desirable that tho conduct and management of the
enterprise should be placed in the hands or our own
people. Wc believe we can'bniid the road, and me
determined tbnt it shall not fail. Wc have looked
too long for aid from other quarters, and now will
try our own strength•” m .
Nobly and bravely spoken!
They add: “We have learned with pleasure that
there ia a probability that a union may ho formed of
the ' Savannah and Gulf,' and ’Brunswick and Flori
da Railroads.”'
This expression is, we doubt not, in accordance
with the reelings of nearly the entire populate n of
Bavannah.
Wo have at present, room only for the following
resolutions, which were adopted unanimously :
Resolved, That we recommend, and would respectfully In
rit* tb* two Companies, the - Savannah and Gulf,” and the
" Brunswick and Florida’’ Railroad Companies, to unite
their interests and form a junction of the two roads at ni
near St. 111a river, or iiuch other point an they can agree
upon, and build a main trunk from thence by the route ol
the Hrunawick road to this place.
g|Resolved, That we will increase our stock to our abilite
to pay. and if stock can be taken to be paid for in wak
upon the road, that we pledge ourselves to use our effort-
to procure stock in that way, and fuel satisfied Hint the en.
tire route from the Alapaha river to Thomasville can be
built by the people of Lowndes and and Thomas counties,
at fair prices, to be paid for at least one-half in stock.

French Criticism on America.
A lato number of the Revue dcs Deux Mondes con
tains many allusions to the political and literary nf-
afire of our country. In reference to our expansive
tendencies it says : ....
“ There is no want of people there, who at the pre
sent moment would be glad to march in the glorious
steps of Captain Ingraham, and strike in their turn
aome decisive blow at Cuba, at Mexico, or at any oth
er coveted territory. This excessive teudency to
wards energy is further stimulated by the embarrass
ment or wealth. Tbevc* Moi ' receipts accumulated
In the U.8. Treasury i» thirty millions of dollars.—
What fine territories might be twilight with this sum I
thirty millions of dollar* would afford au important
relief to the finances of Spain, and amply suffice to
liquidate the debts of Mexico. Nevertheless, we do
not belive that this ardor for acquisition turns for the
present against Spain. The question of Cuba is at
tended as yet with too may difficulties. England ha*
very recently pronounced herself very formally
against the note of Mr. Eterett, by the organ of Lord
John Russell; nor would France probably permit a
■later and friendly nation to be attacked without lend
ing her its aid. Spain, herself is yet perfectly caps-
b e of opposing an energellc resistance, but Mexl-
oa! nobody Interests himself for her; she is incapa
ble or defending herself; she la manifestly and by her
own acknowledgment in complete dessolulion ; ahe
Is evidently in tho condition of a debtor overwhelm
ed with debts, to whom an execution would he more
useful than injurious. Notnlng then hinders the Uni
ted States from appropriating to hore-lf some of her
provinces. Such Is the advice of Mr. Many, and very
probably that advice will be listened to. In a short
time wo may expect to soo Mexico pay, for the third
time, tlws belllooso humor of the Yankees. In a few
months this unfortunate country will probably have
lost yet more of her provinces, and perhaps nothing
will be left of Mex.cobut tho name.’*

Yesterday, at l o’clock, P. M., tho alaVm of fire
was given In this town, and in four hours afterwards
all the business portiou or the town was In ruins.—
The fire originated In 8. N. Williams' hay shed, on
the wharf, communicated, as it is supposed, by a
■park from the Charleston rtcamer Florida. It ex
tended with astonishing rapidity in every d faction,
spreading first along tho block of stores on the south
Side of Ray-ilrect, between Nownen end Oocan-sU.j
tbeuce comraunlcatiug with the square opposite on
the north, which was all couaumed ; thence with the
■tore of A. M. Reed end tho Bank Agency adjoining,
on the west side ot Ocean-street, which were both
destroyed ; tliouoe with the square oast of Nownan-
street and fronting on Bar, which contained tue large

the point et which tbe fire originated, and of Now-
nan-street. which was at onco swept away.
This was principally the course of and tho area
which has been devastated by the devouring clement.
The wind was blowing strongly at the time, and
canned the course of the fire, at first, to bo to the
westward, by which several private dwellings at tho
extreme west end of the town, and several stores,
Moody's, Holme's, and Fairbanks' Mills, and the
new Hotel of Messrs. Day, wore set fire, but extin-
S ubbed before any material daninge was sustained.
till, the Intense heat from tho first block wus so
great that that of itself ignited the squares on the
opposite side, ami on tho east, and the immense
amount of goods thrown from tho stores along the
whole of Ilay-street, formed from the same cause, au
iramens) conflagration of spirits, oil, paiuls, Ac.
By this fire seventy buildings are entirely destroyed.
Of these twenty-three were stores, of the following
persons, vix:—
F. Waver A Co., provisions ; C. D. Oak, and Wm.
Grothe, jewellers ; S. N. Williams, grocer ; J. P.San
derson, dry goods nnd provisions; Iiluodgood A

C. Poettlng. boot und shoe maker.
The law offices of Geo. W. CalluudG. W. Hawkins,
and the office of F. C. Barrett, notary public, Ac., in
tho Byrne Block, were also destroyed—a portion only
of their legal and official documents being savud.
MuJ. Barrett had but a few days previously relin
quished his mercantile business with Col. Sanderson.
Mcltory's Insurance Agency office, in the Sunimia
Block, also went by the board, together with a por
tion of bis papers.
The Custom House, Mr. McIntosh’s Law Office,
Capt. Wylley's residence, J. llunham's store and res
idence, J. Mode’s clothing store, the elegant resi
dence, ns also the Law Office of P. Fraser, Esq., we
note among other buildings destroyed.
The two and only Printing-offices of tho place—
the Republican and lliu News, were consumed, the
latter entirely, and but enough of the Republican
mutcriul lias been gleaned from the harvest of the
terrible Reaper to furnish this Extra! We shall or
der new type and a press however, by the mui! for
the North to-morrow morning, nnd hope to he Hilly
•• on our feet" again in the coiitwu of a mouth ; and
in the meantime shall endeavor to issue copies enough
of our paper for our exchanges on a foolscap sheet,
on an improvised press!—our own iron hand presses
being utterly wrecked. We therefore throw ourselves
upon tho indulgence of our advertising and reading
patrons •' for u little while,’’ being determined not to
desert the '• burning ship"—being utturly opposed to
any species of “ rutting.'’
As we ure doing advertising for merchants in
Charleston and Savannah, we request our cotempo
raries in those cities to note our situation. J. Finne
gan’s office and L. M. Folsom's furniture store, were
also consumed.
The steamer Florida was lying at her wharf at the
time of the lire, and drew off into the stream as it
progressed : the Seminole, from Savannah, bringing
tnc mail, (the Gaston being taken off the line,) had
passed up the river. Every exertion was made by
the citizens, firemen, and even the ladies, who were
found here aud there lending assistance, to aricrt the
fire—the negroes also laboring faithfully to do their
utmost. But the (ire became tinnmnitgeuble, and as
the intense heat extended itself, confusion nnd ex
haustion rendered human exertion less efficient. A
portion of the lire apparatus unlortunately fell into
a situation which brought it in contact with the
flames, and it was lost.
Upon the amount of property lust, it is estimated
that ono half is insured—some in New York and New
England offices, and some iu Georgia. The two prin
ting offices were insured—our own for a little more
than half its value. Wc lost all the printing- paper,
and a largo quantity of letter, which we had on hand
for jobbing. Our "setup” forms have run into
molten mass.
Mr. Andre's Canova was severely burnt and disa
bled, and Mr. J. C. Hemming was severely stunned,
and for aome time hurt, but he is now better. We re
gret also that tho fum'ly of Mr. I'hillip Fraser, who
were ill, were forced to remove.
Our edition of the Republican of this date, was
off tho press, bat few copies of which, however, had
been taken from the office or mailed, its non-receipt
by tho greater portion of onr subscribers Is, we pre
sume, sufficiently and satisfactorily accounted for by
the intelligence which this “extra” auiiouncec.
Washington, April 4.1854.
Tho Senate took up tho bill for the relief of the
representatives of Joseph Watson, deceased.
Mr. Fessenden presented remonstrances against
the Nebraska bill.
Mr. Sutnner presented like remonstrances from the
men and women of Soutliwick, Massachusetts.
The bill providing for the settlement of the revolu
tionary claims, was made the special order for Mon
day next.
A few petitions were presented.
Mr. Mason moved that tho Senate go into Execu
tive Session, which was agreed to.
Tbe doors were temporarily opened to receive a
message from the House, announcing the passage oi
the six Steam Frigate hill. The Senate immediately
took it up nnd passed it.
The hill from the House rcguluting the pay ol
Deputy Postmasters was referred.
The Senate remained in Executive session till half-
past 3 o'clock, and then adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
The consideration of the bill to reduce and gradu
ate the price of public lands, was further postponed
for one week.
Mr. Bennett, from the Committee on Public Lands,
reported a bill to equalize the grants of lands to the
several Slates for certain public purposes. He stated
that though a majority of the Committee me aguinst
its passage, they were willing to take the sense of
the House on the subject. It was the same hill as he
had heretofore reported with an amendment made
by the Committee. He contended the lands belong
to all the States, having been purchased for the benefit
of all of tlium. There should be some principle or
equality and justice. The old 8Utc* should have
their share iu the least objectionable form. The bill
which lie introduced lust year proposed a division of
the lands according to federal representation. But
this hill proposed, instead of land, to apportion land
wnmintu urnong both the old und new States, that
each may sell out as it chooses. There have been
given to the new States and Territories 20,000,000
more of acres than have been sold. If New York
hud received her just share she would have 421,000,000
with which to pay her debts. Was it not just that
the old States shall receive their share of the public
lamia ? Before concluding the subject, the House
went into Committee aud took up the general appro
priation bill.
Mr. Clingnmn said ho should vote for tho Senate
Nebraska bill, and wished the Clayton amendineut
stricken out, not because it was wrong, but because
it would lead to no practical rc-ult, mid because it
was put in to embarrass the passage of the measure.
Mr. Badger's amendment doe&uot change the char
acter of tho bill, which, as it now stands, does not
prohibit the people of the Territories from legislating
as the Constitution permits. It does not say there
shall be no law on tho subject of slavery, but merely
that no law prohibiting or establishing it shall he re
vived. It leaves the Territory os though there never
was a law there on tho snbject. This is tho best
species of non-intervention. It says the people may
legislate without tho intervention of Congress, or
French, Mexican, or Indian law. Therefore it is a
better bill than those establishing the territorial gov
ernments of Utah or New Mexico of 1850, because
those bills left the Mexican laws iu force. It is bet
ter than the Clayton Compromise, because that left
the Mexican laws in force. The real point is this:
shall tho Territory be left open to every body, or
shall the Wilinot Proviso be extended over it? la
1851, certain persons professed to be for non-interven
tion when they were not for it. The true friends who
sustained General Cass no doubt were willing to car
ry it out. But opposition came from another quarter,
where tho battle was fought under a sort of mask.—
He wished to unmask tho character of that opposi
tion. Every member of tho old Whig party from the
free States is opposed to this bill. lie understood
that those gentlemen arc making earnest appeals to
certa'n Southern Whig* not to press tho question
aud break up their party. They were not made to
him, because,' for the last four years, he has regarded
himself ns disconnected from those gentlemen. He
wus pretty much against all such organizations.and
was rather Independent. To enadlo gentlemen to
understand this matter, and to see how men stand,
he referred to the history or the past. saying, among
other things, that, in 1848, tho Wilinot Proviso was
brought forward, and every Northern Whig voted
for it. They said they merely wished to make use of
it to stop the Mexican war, and break down tbe
Democrats of New York.
Tbo war terminated, and the first attempt made to
settle the agitating questions which had arisen was
on the basis of tho Clayton Compromise. That wus
not satisfactory to Southern gentlemen, but it is a
singular fact, every northern whig vehemently oppos
ed it. Tho northern whig* beat down General (.ass
and the Democrats ovorywhoro. If their policy had
been carried out with regard to our territorial acqui
sitions, your government would not he in existence
this day. The men pledged to that policy, begged

In spite of Northern Whig*.
The National Intelligencer, daring tbe pendency
of tbo Comnromiao measures of 1850, never came
out for tho Missouri Compromise line, while tho South
were) struggling for It. Nor did it claim equal rights
for tho South, llo never attributed to It a love of
!, 5 on tbe oontrary, in every struggle between
liberty aud despotism, it has taken tho side of dee-
potlsin. In every struggle but ween tho United
States and foreign powers, it has taken the side of
dosuotism, on llm ground, ho supposed, that the

ments, showing that the abolitiou party in tills coun
try patterns by them, and alter referring to their mis
placed sympathies for the blacks, spending imnieuso
sums of money In that cause, while white people rre
starving around tlu-m, said the Southern system of
slavery is a prosperous ono, und there could be no
reason why tlio government should be arrayed against
it. Tlio negroes in the South are In a better condi
tion, physically, morally, aud kocialljr, than any of
their own race on the globe, cither iu or out of Africa.
A great flood of denunciation hud bcun opened on
Mr. Douglas, who reported the Nebraska bill, by men
equally contemptible as they were malicious, but
whose attempts ut detraction fall harmless, lie is
identified with the progress of American principles,
and will bp carried forward in triumph. Towards
the conclusion or his remarks he said that the discus
sion of this question would do no harm. Because
the eh rgymcii iu New England have deserted their
holy culling to attend to tho Nebraska hill, and to fan
up excitement against it, infidelity is getting the
mastery of their flocks, and lie should not be surprised
il a missionary should be sent among them to convert
tl*cm to the trim faith. (Laughter.) In conclusion,
he said he now intended to do what gontlomen rarely
do, namely, thank the Committee for the attention
with whicn they hud listened to him.
Mr. Wright, of Pennsylvania, had made up his
mind to vote for tho Nebraska bill with the Clayton
amendment stricken out. He did not, however, make
this a sine qua non, but lie knew ho could not vote
for that cIuumi und sustain himself nt home. He had
a pledge from tlio Chairman of tho Committee on
Territories, that, so far a-* he is concerned, it shall
come out of tho bill. With that clause out, he was
willing toBurtniu tho bill before the country, because
it involves a great and mighty principle, and is *
quertiou or State rights and popular sovereignty,—
He would rather be strikon down as an advocate of
the bill than be returned to this House having oppo
sition views. Fortunately, or unfortunately, his dis
trict adjoins that formerly repsesented by Mr. Wilinot
tlio father of the " Wilinot Proviso." Last Tuesday
Mr. Wilmot went into his district and delivered a
speech ut Carbondnlc against tbe bill. The first inti
mation he had of this was tho reception of three me
morials. Kignfld by leading prominent citizens, in fa
vor of tbe hill. So it appears the impression made
by Mr. Wilinot iu Carkondiilc did not come up to the
expectations of the enemies of the hill.
Mr. Muttesnn said if any apology were necessary
for his rising to speak against the bill, it would he
found in tho fact that tho New York Legislature al
most unanimously had spoken on this subject against
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise.
The Committee here rose.and tbe House adjourned.
Excitement among tho Colored Population
of Newport.
Great excitement exists ill Newport, in consequence
of the mysterious disappearance of two children
(blacks) bclonginging to the family of Charles
Rachel Denton. The parties have been residing in
Newport (or the last six months. The circumstances
arc these:—
After moving to Newport, tho mnn, (who is a Meth
odist minister and a preacher among his people) ob
tained employment as a lurborer, and has up to the
time of the present occurrence home a fair reputa
tion. On tlio cvruiiig of the 17th he went out nf his
house, carrying the children witli him, saying that lie
would take them to walk, and then go to the butch
er’s for aome meat. At 10 I*. M. f he returned with
out the children, inquired for them, ami ou being
told they had not returned, declared they were lost
Upon the following day ho notified some of his
friends (colored people) of the matter, and they ad
vised him to go to the Mayor, but this he declined or
neglected to do. In the meanwhile tho docks and
wharves were examined by his friends under the sup
position that they might have been drowned. Upon
the day following the occurrence. Mr. Culvert became
cognizant of these facts, and interested himself im
mediately in tho matter by sending persons to search
and publishing a handbill offering a reward of 4100
lor information concerning the lost children. Iu ad
dition to this Mayor Calvert telegraphed ut once to
various places, and iu particular to the Collector- of
the ports of Norfolk. Va..Charleston 8.C.. and other
Southern harbors for whicn vessels had sailed on the
night of tlu-ir disappearance. From one of these
places the Mayor has received a reply, stating that
tho vessel entered the harbor, but before the Collec
tor could rnako a search, the crew had all deserted
her nnd were not to be found.
The vessels which left Newport about that thin
humid south are the Gen. Worth, the I'ecomoe and
the Alvarado. The prevailing supposition in regard
to the fate of these children is, that they were forced
into a boat with the connivance nr consent of the fa
ther. and put on board some vessel going south.
This fact, connected with oilier suspicious circum
stances, induced the Mayor to cause the arrest of
Denton on suspicion of his connivance. Bail was de
manded in tlio sum of two hundred dollars, which
was finally given hy three colored men. These three
men, however, afterwards requested to withdraw
their bail under the impression that the prisoner in
tended to abscond. Denton is, therefore, now in jail.
(tlio hail having been increased to 4400 in conse
quence of a charge of bigamy having been made
against him.) The mother, who is not over 25 years
of age, exhibits great distress, but docs not suspect
her husband. The colored population are In a state
of great excitement. They will not permit their
children to cross tlio street niter sundown.
The Slanderer.
The slanderer is a pest, a disgrace, an inenbus to
society, that should be subjected to a slow cauteriza
tion, and then be topped oil' like q disagreeable ex-
cressence.* Like the viper, he leaves a shining trail
in Ilia wake. Like a tarantula, h«yveaves a thread of
candor with a trrb of wiles, or with nil the kind men-
lacity of hints, whispers forth his tale. that. " like
the tabling Nile, no fountain knows." The dead
, even the dead—over whose pnlo sheeted corpse
sleeps the dark sleep no venomed tongue can wake,
and whose pale lips have then no voice to plead, are
subjected to the scandulous attacks of the slanderer—
Who wears a mask the Gorgon would disown
A cheek of parchment, nnd nn eye of stono!
I think it is Pollock who says the slanderer is the
foulest whelp of sin, whose tongue was set on fire iu
hell, nnd whose legs were faint with baste to propa
gate the lio his soul had framed.
He fins n lip of lies, h face formed to conceal.
That, without fueling, niockn nt tho-e who fuel.
There is no animal I despise more than these moths

Due consideration h»* boon given to that portion of the

along l ho street known ns Bay-street, extended to Baldwin's
Cotton Press. Your Committee aro duly impressed with
the im|wirtnncoof furnishing protection against fire to tho
valuable property on the Ka*tern Wharves ; they find »hem-
*elves. however, restricted by Ordinance to a certain
nmount of expenditure, for the Water Work*, all of which
will probably be required to perfect them. The city ha*
expanded considerably since tiie contract forttie water was
made, nnd a corresponding extension nf the supply of work*
will be required. Tills subject will necesssrily occupy the
early attention of those upon whom will devolve the im-
]iortant trust nf mansging tiie works ; and your Committee
are of the opinion that the extension for which tlio memo
rialist* solicit the present action of tiie City Council, will
merit their earliest and most favorable consideration.

Tho Coinmietee on tlio Jail, to whom was referred tho
presentment of the Grand Jury, of Chatham county, for
January term 1854. iu regard to the present condition of the
Jail, have had the same under consideration and beg leave
to report. Your Committee coneurr fully with tiie Grar
Jury of tiie last term, und witli tlio successive Grand .li
nes for many years past, in their presentments In regard
to tlio uii-uitablenes* of tiie present Jail to the purposes
lor which it was designed.
In tiie Hi at place they beleive that it* general design _
a prison is an iojudiclons one. Tim prison consists of two
tiers of cells, tiie upper tier for tiie reception nf whiles nnd
the lower one for negroes. Tho funner ure so badly con-j
structed and of such poor materials, that they are entirely
Insecure. No prisoner of energy witli the rudest impleJ
ment to work with, can be retained in them. They are
covered In only with boards with a tin roof above them,
they Imve yielded and will yield to a small pressure by
which egro-a to the roof Is easily effected, and when once
there, tew obstacles to Uie final escape of tiie prisoner are
presented. In nddition to this the cells are of such small
dimensions, so illy ventillated and so badly purified, al
though unusually supplied with water, that humanity for
bids the incarceration in these foul and noisome recepta
cles of prisoners, many of whom are simply accused of
crime not convicted, many of whom are committed to jail
for small offences against theFtate or City, except at night
when the jailor, in the |»erformnnce of hi* duty, to keep
them sately. is obliged to lock them in. During tiie day
tiie prisoners are a'lowed to exercise in the areas and pa*
sage wnysnf the prison,aud in cold wentherthey resort tos
common fire in one or tho largo rooms intended as nn
apartment for debtor*, where, your Committee hare seen
around tiie same hearth impelled by tiie rigor of tho
«on. and forced to the closest proximity and associate
woman imprisoned as a lunatic, consorting with debtors
and felons. Your Committee believe that this system is
entirely wrong. The apartments or colls should be divided
into thein.ileand female departments, then, tiie prisoner*
should he cltssified and imprisoned according to the grade
of offence, for there ia no justice in tiie imprisoment of all
offender* alike, the man *imply accused of a crime, with
the same rigor which is accorded to a felon.
In the second tier of cells negroes nro confined, with the
same privileges ot exercise during tlm day ns is extended
to the whites, with the additional disadvantage that the
cells are worse ventilating, were 'lamp and more dreary
Formerly, a considerable portion of tiie revenue of the
Jail was derived from the imprisonment of negroes for
safekeeping, or for tiie commission ol petty offences ; but
now tho owners of slaves, with a just appreciation of then-
own interests, refuse to use the Jail for sucli purposes,
thereby depriving U of ono of it* chief sources of revenue!
In view of these facts, it l* evident that this system should
not continue. Not only humanity to the unfortunate, but
the advanced civilization ot the age. in a few particulars,
more advanced than in regard to prison discipline and the
structure of prisons, loudly demand any amelioration of
our present system. Your Committee believe that inch
improvement cannot take place so long as the present Jail
Lured; its internal structure and arrangement* forbid
the idea. Your Committee would therefore recommend
t at a Jail inure appropriate to our climate and more in
conformity with our improved system of prison discipline
than the present one, be built a* soon aa practicable. And
to this end. that meaaure be taken in immediate concur
rence with the Justices of the Inferior Court of the County
—to whom your Committee would suggest the propri- ty of
offering for sale tbo present Jail andits site, after being
laid out iu lots, and with tho procecdn arising therefrom, to
build a new Jail upon a site to be given by the city, upon a
plan to be carefully considered and matured by the said
Justice* in concurrence with this Board.
Mont. Cl mmimi. Committee on Jail.
The Committee to whmn was referred the communica
tion from Captain Gilmer, relative to closing the channel
between Fig and Hutchison Islands. I»eg leave to report
Your Committee have communicated both witli Captain
Gilmer and Major Starke, and think there can be nn doubt
a* to the following facts Major Starke's Mill is situated
upon the upper end of Fig Island, around which he had an
open wharf of about 344 feet, below which on the northern
side of tho Island, there was a small canal connecting with
liis timber basin. A largo portion of this wharf, to wit:
165 was on the south ot the Island on the Front River, and
from tlio shoal water and dilapidated condition of the
wharf, it being sunk in the middle, was of little use to the
proprietor. The original plan was to close tho Fig Island
channel hy commencing east of the canal, so as not to in
terfere with the wharf and canal nf Major Starke, but at
hi* request and with his eonseut. the whole plan has been
changed, which pre/ent plan deprives Major Starke of ac
cess to hi* wharf and canal from the front of the river, ex
cept by going round the lower point of Fig Island ; but tor
all rafts coming down the Rack River they are aa available
ami valuable as ever. Upon this point there can be no
doubt, for Major Starke admits that lie has given l aptain
Gilmer a carte blanche. In carrying out this plan Cfcptain
Gilmer haa built, at a great co»L a solid and substantial
wharf of 14‘> ft on front river, anil built about 80 ft wide •
has deepened the water by excavating the mud, and about
100 feet more of »n open wharf—giving him a front of
about 240 feet on the River. Thus it will be seen that
without discussing the question of b»nefit nr injury
(though your committee believe that Major Starke has
been benefltted) M*jor Starke can have no claim for dama
ges as tiie work was done with his consent. Your Commit
tee would however recommend that tho Mavor bo author
ized to offer the following term* to Major Starke : That
Captain Gilmer shall cau*e to be erected the n*ual slide
or apron attached to mlllf. connecting tho mill with tbe
new wharf, and cut a canal from front river to tlio timber
basin ; to give to him the Solid wharf, and tiie 100 feet or
continuous open wharf, upon condition Hint he relinqulshez
all claim* for damage* against the United Slates, the Oitv.
and all per on* engaged in the work. And your Committee
further recommend that If Major Btarke shall refuse this
arrangement, the City should assume nil responsibility
and direct Captain Gilmer to proceed with the work.
