Destructive Fire in Philadelphia.
About 10 o’clock on Wednesday night, a fire
broke out in the National Theatre, at Ninth and
Chesnut streets, Philadelphia, which proved ter-
ribly disastrous. We copy the particulars from
Thursday’s Ledger:
at The fire originated during the performance of
Putnam, and was caused by some one on the
stage attempting to light a match by rubbing it
against the scenery. The alarm was soon com-
to ttie audience, and great contusion
HcO alarm ensued, but fortunately the extreme
heat of the weather prevented a large attendance
„ and all escaped with their lives. The combu&ti
\>le nature ol the building and its contents soon
Scaused a tremendous light and blaze, shedding its
lurid glare over a large portion of the city. The
» firemen were promptly on the ground, but no
ed human efforts could prevent the destruction of
I the threatre. Their effpits were then turned to
[ the saving of the ne ghi ©ring property, but so
P- great was the heat, aud so numerous and large
m were the burning llakes, that it defied their ut-
Hfcnost endeavors
The stores, half a dozen in number, in the base
ment in the circus, were involved in the destruc
tion, and so rapidly did the flames extend that
a very small portion of their contents could be
saved. Among them were a toy store, a con
fectionery, a philosophical instrument maker, a
segar store and drinking saloon, and one or two
others.
The Giraid House, at one time, was consider
ed a victim to the devouring element, and the
numerous inmates, some tour hundred in number,
became greatly alarmed, and many of them re
moved their property. The flames, however,
were subdued without serious damage to the
bulking.
The substantial block ol dwellings on Ches
--4. nut street, once the residences of ttie first fami
lies, but since converted into stores, were early
marked out as a prey to the flames, and at one
time the roots of so many had been kindled by
the flakes irom tha consuming theatre, that the
destruction of the entire row east as far as Eighth
street was deemed to be inevitable. These
sU res were all first class establishments, and
contained stocks of goods of immense value,
and the police officers, firemen and citizens lent
then aid in saying what could be carried out.
They were occupied by J. A. Place, No. 218
dry goods} J. S. Earle, No. 216, picture dealer
and irame maker, and the second floor by Bodie
& Co., hair dresser; Thomas Evans & Co., No.
214, dry goods; K. & W. Frazer, No. 212, dry
goods on the first floor and Mrs. Burke’s mi fine
ry establishment on the second; next to the Art
Union building. Nos. 210 and 208, occupied pait
ly by the Art Union Gallery and C. F. Meeser,
fncture dealer and lrame maker, and by Boute
ier Brothers; Milliken’s linen store, No. 206; E.
Clinton, 204 fancy goods; Everets’s jewelry
store, No. 202; Win. S. Mason, engraver No. 200;
L. Ladotnus,jeweler, No. 198, and Herman Hoo
ker, bookseller, at the corner. All these build
ings were more or less damaged about the roofs,
and the interior injured by water.
The rear of the houses on the west side of
Eighth street caught, including the VVaverley
Hotel, Bell Hotel, George Reibnch, patent lock
manulaeturer; George R. Fisher, tailor; O. C.
Nicholson, diy goods store: S. H. Scholl, eating
bouse. The dwellings on Sansom street were on
file several times, but the occupants managed to
extrngnisu the fire kindled by the sparks tailing
upon them.
During the burning of the Chinese Museum,
masses ol burning fimoer were thrown as tar as
Eigntb street, covering the roofs on each side of
Sansom street, and setting many of them on fire.
The crowd in the streets would immediately
warn the inmates of the threatened building, and
the eaily application of water prevented the
flames from spreading in this direction. Many
of the sheets of tin irom the root of the Museum
were thrown a distance of two or three hundred
yards, by the lorce of the flame.
The Museum building caught from the rear of
the theatre, and the flames gradually spread
along its cornice and window frames, until at
midnight, the entire upper portion of this im
mense building was enveloped ia flames. The
settees and other fixtures ol the building were
removed as hastily as possible when tne pros
pect of its demolition seemed inevitable The
walls ate substantially built, and will probably
remain standing, so that ns re-buildmg will not
be so expensive as would appear from a first
glance at the immense area witnui them.
This edifice was constructed in 1838,designed
as the Philadelphia Museum, for the especial ac
commodation ot Peal’s Museum, once socelebra
ted, but now alas dispersed and lost. Its walls
are 238 teet in lengtn by 70 feet wide, which
were the dimensions ot the upper saloon. The
lower saloon was originally used for the exhibi
tion of Mr. Dunn’s Cbiuese Collec ion. Its di
mensions were one hundred and sixty-three feet
by seventy, and at the rear ol it a lecture room.
The building was more univeisally known to
the entire community than any other edifice in
tlie city, irom the attractive and popular charac
ter ot the exhibitions that have anuuiiy taken
place there. The Franklin Institute and the
Horticultural Society daily attracted thousands
a- Within their walls during their exhibitions, and
J in the winter season the saloons resounded with
music and dai.ee.
The fire also extended across Sansom street at
Ninth, to the Bazaar or Auction estab..shment of
* Ml. lierkness, lor tbe sale of horses and carriages.
This was a iarge circular building, originally con
atructed tor the exhibition ot panoramas. Tbe
firemen by great exertions managed to check the
flames at tins point.
The goods Irom the stores and dwellings
were removed in great quantities by the firemen,
police and citizens, and are piled up upon the
pavements and within the herses lor squares
around.
The Boutielier Brothers are among the heav
f iest losers by the conflagration. Their flue
stock of dry goods has been almost entirely de
stroyed.
The pictures ot the Art Union Gallery were
saved by prompt and continued exertions. The
loss to this Institution will not be ot much mo
merit. Mr. Meeser, picture dealer, lost several
fine pictures. He was insured for $3,000, which
will not cover his loss by SI,OOO.
The Museum and Theatre was worth $150,-
000 and not insured. Several firemen were in
jured, but none killed.
The Fire in Philldelfhia. —Further Parti
culars.—Messrs. Welch & Lent, who held a long
J-ase on tbe National Theatre in Philadelphia,
which was destroyed by fire on Wednesday night,
lose by its desuuctiou $120,000, ol which amount
$40,000 was in the wardrobe, consisting of the
most costly and extensive collection of dresses
for circus and theatrical display in the counntry;
and $4,000 in the scenery. The North American
fctate9 that the library of the house was a large
and valuable professional one, and contained three
hundred entirely new manuscript plays, never
printed or performed on any stage. These Gen
eral Welch had purchased in England and the
United States tor the purpose of producing at the
during the ensuing season, tor which
great preparations had been made; but, unfortu
nately, they all tell a prey to the flames. Messrs
. W. & L. were only insured lor $27,500, but in
tend to rebuild immediately. General Welch,
Who is somewhat ol an invalid, sat at the win*-
I dow of his room in ihe Girard House, on WejJ
] nesday night, and calmly looked on, while the,,
r accumulated profits ot a long fife ot untiring in
dustry were vanishing in flame and smoke.
The Chinese Museum, which was uninsured,
L was elected at a cost ot $183,000. About $lO,-
fc 000 worth of liquors were stowed in the cellars
fcpf this building. Among the other sufferers are
s. Earle, loss $15,000 insured, Dr. t arter, $5,-

I From the Baltimore Sun, 9th msf.] *
The Fraud upon the Stockholders of the
New Haven Railroad Company.
it vs as stated under our telegraphic head yes- 1
terday, great excitement bad been created
in New York on Wednesday, in consequence of
the ciscovery of a large over issue of stock of the
ew Haven rtailroad Company, The discovery
was made on Monday afternoon, and made pub
lic on Wednesday morning by three of the direc
tors. It appeals that A. Vanderenter, the book
keeper, has admitted to Mr. Morris Ketchum,
one of the directors, that at one time 10,000
shares, and at various other times between 8 and
9 000 shares, altogether about 19.000 shares re
presenting $1,900,000, had been tranferred’ by
the transfer agent, who is Mr Robert Schuyler,
into the hands of Messrs. Robert & G L. Schuy
ler, by whom the stock was hypothecated. It
will be recollected that the firm of R. & G. L.
Schuyler tailed only last week for a very large
sum. Ihe Post of Wednesday afternoon
says:
“Mr. George Schuyler is wholly ignorant of
the financial condition of the firm of which he
is s member, his brother having the sole man
agement of its affairs. What explanation Mr.
R. Schuyler may be able to give we do not
know. We learn that his health was much im
proved this morning, and it is to be hoped that
he may soon be able to submit to the public
some explanation of the transaction.
“i he legal capital of the company is $3,000,-
000, in 30 000 shares; the stock now in mai ket
amounts to 49,000 shares, representing $5,000,-
“T he directors of the company will, as we
learn, order the books ot transier to be immedi
ately closed, and the certificates of stocks out
standing to be called in lor registration, so as to
ascertain the real extent and condition of the
company, and it is possible a still greater amount
of shares may have been issued.
“This discovery is a great check to credit and
confidence. Ihe stock fell to 60 this morning
before the Board met. We learn that most ot
the spurious stock was pledged to Cornelius
Vanderbilt, who has advanced some five or six
hundred thousand dollars upon it.”
Ihe directors of the road met on Wednesday
and the result of their deliberations was the
publication of a notice, in which they say :
“It has been made apparent, on a hasty exam
ination of the stock books, which have been
kept by the late President, Robert Schuyler, as
transier agent in New York, that by means of
false entries, erasures and other similar practi
ces, an issue of illegal and fraudulent stock has
been made within a lew months past, to the
amount, as nearly as can now be ascertained,
ot nearly twenty thousand shares, or two mil
lions of dollars. A rigid examination will be
immediately made, by order of the directors, of
the books and papers, and the result, when accu
rately ascertained, will be made public.”
Robert Schuyler sent in his resignation as
President of the road, to the mee ing, which
was accepted. The Post further adds:
“At the board ot brokers this morning the
stock was not called, it being resolved to do
nothing in it until official report was made by
the directors of the New Haven road.
“A question has been raised as to the liability
of the company for the spurious stock, on the
grouno that none of those certificates had been
recorded. The question will depend probably
upon the construction of the charter in reference
to transfers. All the false stock was signed by
the president, who was tbe transier agent of the
company, and the secretary, who is absent in
Europe but who left blanks signed for the pre
sident’s use.”
This is the third over issue of stock that has
been exposed within the last thirty days—viz :
i the Parker Vein, the Vermont Central, and last
ly, the New Haven. The Parker Vein and the
1 Vermont Central were inveterate fancies daily
bandied about in the market, and of uncertain
value, but the New York and New Haven Rail
i road stock was zarely offered for sale, and until
[ the Norwalk disaster, which suspended its divi
■ dends, was chiefly held by capitalists as a safe
and sure investment. The stock has been hy
pothecated in Wall street to a large extent. It is
! feared that these developments are but the pre
| cursors ot others, and even of greater magni
tude.
Further Developments. —The stupendous
fraud in the New York and New Haven Railroad
stock continues to be the engrossing subject of
interest in New York. Mr. Robert Schyler, the
late president, and the alleged guilty party, has
fled the country. He lelt New York on Tuesday,
and was last seen in the cars at Saratoga, suppos
ed to be en route for Canada. The Evening
Post says:
The day before he left, on the 3d of July, he
and his brother executed an assignment ol all the
property belonging to the firm, as well as his in
dividual property, to Messrs. Bowdoin & Barlow,
attorneys, No. 65 .Merchants’ Exchange. The
assignment, we have been informed by Mr. Bow
doin, is made for the benefit of all the ere .itors,
without preference, and the assignees have taken
possession cf tbe propeity, and will as soon as
possible make a pubiic leport on the condition ol
the estate, its liabilities and assets.
Mr. George Schuyler has not seen his biother
since Monday, and he says “he never expects to
see him again.” He says, also, that he is not
aware of the firm being benefited in any way by
the large sums arising out ot the hypothecation
of the spurious stock. In consequence ol the as
signment of all his property, Mr. George Schuy
ler has resigned the presidency of the Harlem
railroad company.
One ol the many incidents publicly mention
ed in connection with this gigantic fraud is, that
Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt had an interview with
Mr. Robert Schuyler subsequently to the an- j
nouncement of the failure—offered him at once !
a check for $150,000, aud tendered him further i
assistance to the extent of even three millions,
if necessary, and would carry the New Haven
and Harlem stocks to par, il Mr. Robt. Schuyler
would only assure him that “all was right.”—
To this Mr. Robert Schuyler made no other re
ply than shaking his head. No such assurance
could be given. The enormity of this crime,
committed by an old member of one ot the most
aristocratic lamilies, and the grandson of General
Sch jyler of the revolution, has produced a shock ■
in financial circles from which the country will
not soon recover.
As a matter of course, since the discovery of !
this great fraud, everything pertaining to the j
pastjhistory of Mr. Robert Schuyler is seized up- ;
on with great avidity. The matter of his secret j
marriage is much discussed. This was unknown
to a majority of people until since the failure.—
Mr. Schuyler had been living as a bachelor, and
was supposed to be a bachelor until, a few months
since, it was discovered that he had been pri
vately married many years previous, and had a
family of children, one or two of whom bad
grown up and got marr ed. They had gone un- i
der the name of Spicer. Mr. Schuyler’s expla
nation was that he saw a pretty girl with whom
he fell in love; she was poor and he knew his
family would object to the match; so he married i
her privately, and had never divulged the secret. |
The Express of Thursday atteruoou says:
The hoard of directors of the Harlem Railroad
Company have been engaged this morning in an
investigation of the affairs of the company. We
understand that there has been no over-issue of
the stock, but that Robert Schuyler has misap
plied the proceeds of the bonds of the company re
cently negotiated to the extent ol $300,000. The
enormity of this man’s doings are unheard of in
the annals of finance, and from what is known
we may be prepared for further developments.
Unfortunately for the credit of the country,Mr.
Schuyler had a great reputation abroad as well as
at home. His name, as connected with railways,
was as well known on the Exchange of London,'
Amsterdam and Frankfort, as any of our
Oldest and best established mercantile houses.
He was the orginator and almost sole executive
of that important work, the Illinoise Centrail
Railroad, and only resigned the office of Presi
dent of that company in consequence of the law
of Connecticut restricting Presidents ot the rail- 1
way companies in that State from presiding over
more than one railroad corporation at the same
time. | *

A motion had been introduced in Parliament

It was officially announced that a convention

signed at Constantinople on the 14th of June.
The English government organs still advocate
an immediate attack on Sevastopol and the occu
pation ot Crmea. It is also recommended that
part ot the Baltic fleet be sent to the Black ‘ Sea.
The War—The Turks had driven the Rus
sians out ot I urtuki, and occupied the place with
a strong gairison.
The Russians had evacuated Mogureli and Sin
ibis, and 50U0 Turks have occupied Turtuki.
The latest from Silistria represent the sortie
made by the Turks on the 15th, as a most despe
rate hand to hand contest with the Russians,
ending in the comp'ete defeat of the latter.
Prince Gortschakoff was severely wounded. The
Russians, at the latest accounts, were in the
vicinity of Kaiarasel, waiting reinforcemants and
further orders.
The Journal de Constantinople gives an ac
count of one attack made by the Russians on the
southwest outworks of Silistria. Three storm
ing corps of 10,000 men each were formed, with
a battalion of engineer sappers, with fascines and
scaling ladders, at their head. Before the men
set to work they were addressed by Prince Pas
kiewitsch, who urged them to exertion, “ as, if
they did not succeed in taking the fortress, he
should be obliged to keep back their rations.”
After this encouragement two of the corps pro
ceeded towards the lorts of Arab Tabin and Yel
anli; the third corps was to act as a reser'e.
After a terrific cannonade the storming paities
advanced, but weie receiver by the Tuks with
such a well directed file that for a time they
made but little piogress. The Russians, how
ever, fought bravely, arid having managed to
scale the brestwork of one of the batteries, a re
gular hand-to-hand fight took place. At last the
Turks were victorious, and the unfortunate be
siegers were knocked into the ditches with the
butt-ends of the Turkish muskets. The Russians
had evidently lo t courage, and when they re
turned to the attack, it was only because they
were forced to do so by their officers. When
there was literally no more fight in the men, a
retreat was sounded, and the Russians carried off
as many of their dead and wounded as they could.
The Turks, alter theii enemies had retired, pick
ed up 1,500 dead bodies, a great number of guns,
swords, drums, musical instruments, and the
colois of a battalion. Hussein Bey, the com
mander ot the two forts, displayed the most dar
ing courage, “ as did two Englishmen and a Prus
sian.” i hat your Silistrian correspondent was
one of the Englishmen cannot be doubted.
Russia —A report was current that Russia
had again made peace overtures through Austria,
but the terms are said to be the immediate re
tirement of the allies from Turkey. This can
scarcely be regarded as true.
A rumor was again afloat, that the Czar would
abdicate. He is likewise reported to be sick, and
for that alleged reason did not meet the King of
Prussia. He has, however, ordered Prince Dol
genki, the minister ot war, to proceed immedi
etely to the Danubian Principalities, and draw
up an accurate report of the position of affairs in
a millitary point of view. This produced great
sensation in St. Petersburg.

The corn crop ol Texas, from the increase of
land in cultivation and the extiaordinary heavy
yield now promised will probably exceed that
ol any.o her year by at least 50 per cent.
The incessant rains that have visited all parts
of the State cannot prove otherwise than seii- 1

TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 11, 1854.
See first page of Daily, this morning.
What People say of Us.
The sensitiveness of the American people to
what foreigners thought and said of us, amounted
to a ridiculous weakness down to a very recent
period. We are not sure that our people are a
great deal better off now in this respect. Occasion
al symptoms of the old disease break out, howe
ver, and evidence themselves in newspaper com
ments on the actings and sayings of some promi
nent person, or leading paper in Europe.
T. he New York Express betrays somewhat of
this weakness, while professing to eschew it, in
the following comments on a recent letter of
Kossuth to ex-Consul Saunders, disclaiming any
purpose or desire of the European propagandists
of Republicanism to interfere on this side of the
water with the institutions of the South. But
the rebuke to Mr. Kossuth is not the less point
ed and appropriate.
“ The air of self-importance and the patroniz
ing condescension of Mr. Kossuth are set forth
here w.th a coolness that is refrigerating. ‘The
United States do not yet appear conscious of their
competent position.’ What a pity it is, to be
sure? ‘I would not contribute anything to its
(our) internal divisions.’ How thankful, indeed,
we ought ali to be!
Impertinences like these, however, do but dis
gust rather than amuse. Yet one is tempted to
inquire why it is that these gentlemen, whose
blatant iterations used to ring in our ears here of
the mighty deeds they were going to perform for
Hungary and for Europe, the moment the Rus
sians crossed the Danube, why is it we say, that
these personages are not redeeming their prom
ises at the seat of war—the war that has ueen
going on now for months—instead of sitting in
their cozy parlors near Regent’s Park, inditing
ridiculous epistles about America? As Cons ul
Saunders is given to writing letters, perhaps he
w ill be kind enough to write one more, pressing
this query ; tor w'e beg leave respectfully to as
sure bitn that there is tar more curiosity on this
side ot the Atlantic to have some light on that
subject than there is of anxiety as to what the
soi-disant Jeffersonian republicans of Europe
may have to say of us.”
In quoting the above, the Charleston Courier
utters a volume of good sense in the following re
marks, which especially deserve the attention of
Southern people, and more particularly of South
ern editors.
‘‘We think, also, that on the part of our South
ern press there has been manifested an undue
sensitiveness to the anti slavery opinions of a
portion of the North. A late instance of the ad
ministration of criminal justice in our own State,
and another in Alabama—-the first an execution
for the murder of a slave, and the second a con
dign pun shment hi mayhem committed against
a slave—have frequently been commented on
with such questions as these: ‘What will the
Abolitionists think of this?’—‘What will Mrs.
Stowe say now, &c.’
u To all this we need only reply that Southern
States and Southern slaveholders both have high
er and nobler motives to control their conduct,
• and are sufficiently possessed of their duties and
responsibilities to be ‘a law unto themselves,’
. subject noc to the capricious or prejudiced opin
ions of others, but only to the Great Judge of
. men and States.”
It is not extravagant to say that full one
s half the notoriety and influence obtained by
, Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” originated in the notice
, given to it by Southern presses, and the sensi
, tiveness displayed among us as to what the
’ Northern people would think of us, and our in
stitutions after reading that extravaganza. Even
f now, full half the consequence given to the
s scho'l of demagogues and crazy fanatics, who
j are so clamorous about the wrongs $f the negro
slave, and the aggressive spirit of the slave pow
f er, is derived from Southern sensitiveness to what
* they do and say.
; When they violate, or seek to violate the Con
b stitution and laws of the land, they should be
, summarily dealt with. If, by their overtacts,
they encounter the bayonet and the bullet, and
ahould fall in some mob of their own arousing,mar
tyrs to their own folly, or should run their necks
f into a hempen noose, they would thus be of some
i service to Iheir country. But to record all their
! intemperate denunciations, and 6eek to defend
| ourselves against every insane libel they utter,
■ is but offering incense to the idols of a fanatical
mob, and assisting them in their work of agita
tion.

Spanish Forces in Cuba.
If the following statement be correct, and the
: Delta alleges that it is made from authentic and
reliable sources, the Fillibusters will find the con
>
j quest of Cuba not quite as formidable as inter
, ested lettor writers from Havana, opposed to all
such movements, are desirous of making the peo
ple of this country believe. A writer in the Na
tional Intelligencer , who has for weeks been ar
raying statistics before the public eye to create
the impression that the liberation of Cuba would
be a Herculean and sanguinary task, has either
been widely mistaken in his estimates, or has
grossly perverted the facts.
It will not require one-half—scarcely one
fourth—of the force which rumor says is organ
ized for the invasion, to obliterate from the Island
every vestige of the Spanish despotism so cruel
ly oppressing the people. The wonderful achieve
ments of our troops—a large part of which were
volunteers—from the landing at Vera Cruz to
the captareof Mexico, a city of 200,000 inhabi
tants, is some indication of what Americans can
do on foreign soil.
Whenthis last achievement crowned the se
ries of brilliant victories which filled the world
with astonishment at American prowess, there
were noi more than about 8000 effective men in
the field under the American flag. We greatly
doubt whether in materiel the Spanish forces in
Cuba are superior to those of Mexico during that
campaign, while in esprit de corps , and in motives
for gallant deeds, they must manifestly be infe
rior.
In these speculations, we have thus far omit
ted to consider the co-operation of the Creoles of
the Island. Yet this element of strength will,
necessarily in the end, be the main one, both in
men and money. A population of half a million i
of whites, having every earthly motive to desire 1
independence—possessing a soil of matchless fer- j
tility, and with slave labor in abundance to fur- (
nish the sinews of war, will add all that may be '
wanting to drive the Spanish forces from the Is- !
land, and hold it against every effort ot the Span- 1
ish Crown for its recovery. | -
All this is predicated upon the supposition,
that there is to be a filibustering expedition,
about the probability of which we offer no opin
ion. If as many as 4000 armed Americans
should land on the Island, the Queen of the An
tilles will be free.

Th« Late Thomas Ritchie.
The Washington Star gives to the public the
; following graceful and interesting tribute to that
eminent and patriotic citizen, Thomas Ritchie,
whose recent death produced so universal a feel
ing of sorrow in this country. Never was eulogy
better deserved. No man in the Republic, who
has been so long in the public eye, has sunk to
> the grave in this generation with a more un
' blemished escutcheon, whether as regards his
public career or hi 3 private history.
! Death of Thomas Ritchie. The demise
ot few persons, indeed,could have created the pro
. found sensation in this community it experienced
, yesterday, on learning of the death of this ven
erable gentleman. Though he came to this point,
: to reside, as late as the opening of the adrninistra
• tionof Mr. Polk, he was personally as well known
j by all here ot all positions in life, as pernaps any
other man. It was the fortune of the senior edi
tor of the Star to have been connected with the
1 Washington Union from its establishment under
) his (Mr. Ritchie’s) auspices, until he disposed of
) it. We therefore knew him well, being familiar
—perhaps more so than any other person—with
all the incidents of his private and public life in
• that eventful time.
t He came to Washington reluctantly, and only
under a solemn sense of duty to the polical prin
ciples of which he was so long emphatically the
standard-bearer. During the session of Congress
5 immediately prior to the inauguration of Mr.
, Polk, there was a private demonstration to that
[ statesman, on the part of some eighty Democra
tic members of both Houses, to the effect that the
then conductor of the organ should give place to
• some one whose course on the Texas question
; particularly had not been such—as if contending
. under his lead thereafter—would stultify the
, wing of the party whose principles and positions
had triumphed in Mr. Polk’s election. We have
> every reason to believe that the name of Mr.
[ Ritchie, as Mr. Blair’s successor, was suggested
, by those in Congress immediately identified with
the fortunes of Mr. Van Buren. At any rate, it
proved much more acceptable to them than that
ot any one else. Mr. Polk authorized Cave
Johnson, and we believe, Aaron V. Brown, to
i endeavor, through friends of Mr. R. in the Vir
ginia delegation, to negotiate with him for his
removal to Washington. Their original effort
failed, so great was his indisposition to seem to be
willing to supplant any one.
We were then writing regularly for his paper
(the Richmond Enquirer) from this city, and
being apprised of the progress of that negotiation,
after its iailure, ourself wrote him, and induced
Cave Johnson, and if we remember correctly,
General Thomas H. Bayly again to do so also;
which opened his eyes to the fact that his failure
to accede to the request of the President elect,
would not and could not in the existing condi
tion of things prevent a change in the conduct of
the organ ol the Democratic party. This second
effort ended in the extraction of a promise from
him to visit Washington, then a very rare occur
rence in the history of his life. He fulfilled it
alter Mr. Polk was installed, and his interviews
with that gentleman and Mr. Blair ended in hit
purchase ol the Globe establishment; still really
greatly against his will, lor he mistrusted his
, abilities to mould his editorial capacities in hi;
| declining years, to the demands and necessities o
his new sphere. He was a man of almost incie
dible industry, rising between 9 and 10 a. m
usually; it was his habit to labor or study wit!
intense avidity until about 3 a. m., nightly
taking very little exercise and eating and drink
ing sparingly and simply. We need say nothing
here oi the character of his politics and writings
which are lamilhar to all. We may, however
not inappropriately write that his character as a
man was misunderstood to a remarkable degree
by those who did not know him personally. In
the whole course of our almost hourly, intimate
and confidential association with him for so many
years, we never heard Thomas Ritchie open his
lips against any man—even byway ot compla nt
against enemies who were notoriously hunting
him with the fearocity of blood-hounds, because
he had been in some measure a bar to the success
of their schemes of personal agiandizement. We
had access to him at all times and under all cir
cumstances, read most of his private correspon
dence—much too, received by him from leading
men in earlier times; knew all the details of his
business affairs, as well as the bickerings, jeal
ousies, icc., among his political friends, in wbich
he became so frequently involved as a peace
maker and mutual adviser. Yet we never knew
Tnomas Ritchie to do a thing or utter a senti
ment of which either the Christian or geatle
man should in the least regret. The outside world
think of him as a managing politician , when in
truth the remarkable trait of his public character
was entire incapacity for political management
of which he was as ignorant as a child.
His success was owing, then, to the firmness
of his adherence to fundamental principles; his
: industry, energy, integrity, his power and’ver
satility as a writer, and to the total absence of
selfishness and injustice from his character. His
remarkable personal influence among the Demo
cratic politicians of his day, grew out of the fact
that all of them were well aware that in dealing
with them he was sure to do what his conscience
| counselled to be rigid justice to all. To the best
! of our knowledge, Mr. Ritchie, during the course
1 of the Polk Administration, refrained from re
commendinga single man for »ffice. We knew
him to refuse a great many on the ground that
to do so, would be to violate a principle and poli ’
cy, the adherence to which he attributed much ol
his influence for good in public affairs. When
not overwhelmed with labor, bis chief employ
ment was in classical reading, Virgil and the
Bible, by the by, being hardly ever a foot from
his eibow in his private study cr office. He re
tained his remarkable health, strength and spirits
until within a few months of his death, being—in
his hopes of his future, his love of the bright and
the beautiful, his fondness for joyous society, and
the ardor of his devotion to his principles, family
and friends—a youth of twenty-five, rather than
almost an octagenarian. Even as late as last
winter he was frequently seen on Pennsylvania
avenue in his invariable dress costume, of white
vest, thin pumps, and silk socks and gloves, look
ing as happy as a youthful groom, and moving
his scarcely-bent figure gaily, and with the agili
ty for which his personal carriage was so remark
able. His country will never possess a purer
patriot; his family never again so devoted a friend.

Death of Commander R. S. Pinckney, U«
S. N.—-We announce, with regret, (says the
Charleston Courier of the 10th inst.,) the decease
of Commander Richard Shubrick Pinckney, U.
S. N., which occurred about 11 o’clock yesterday
morniug. Captain Pinckney was the grandson
of Roger Pinckney, who held office prior to the
revolution under the Royal commission in this
State, and of Richard Shubrick who served in
the action at Fort Moultrie, and held a com
mand in the revolution.
The deceased Capt. Pinckney entered the
Navy on the 2d August, 1814, being then in his
seventeenth year, and rose to the commission of
Captain in 1841—his commission of that grade
bearing date of the Bth September in that year.
During his long career, Capt. Pinckney showed
on all occasions the daring gallantry and devo
tion to his profession, which have earned for the
American Navy its honorable renown. On one
occasion he signalized himself by volunteering
to cut away the masts of the United States
Frigate Macedonian during a terrific gale—the
same being deemed so hazardous that Capt.
Downes would not make it a subject of order,
but called for volunteers. Captain Pinckney’s
conduct in this instance received honorable men
tion from the Navy department.
He was also engaged in the operations against
the Algerine Pirates of the Mediterranean, and
received there several severe wounds from sabre
cuts. His last active service was during the
late Mexican war, when he commanded the U.
States war sloop Decatur. He was in his fifty -
eighth year.
Weather, Crops, Health. --The Albany
(Ga.) Patriot ol the 7th inst.,says: The weath

see thermometer account annexed. There has
been several spasmodic efforts to get up or down,
a rain ; but they have been lamentable failures.
The corn crop is beginnniug to suffer for want
of rain, and unless it comes soon serious damage
will result. Cotton looks well. The health
of the country, as far as we can learn is excel
lent.

the Principalities, and is already withdrawing
his forces beyond the Pruth.
It is arranged that the Austrian troops shall
occupy the Principalities as the Russians leave.
The official reply of the Czar to the Austrian
note will not be sent until the 2d inst. There
is, however, little doubt entertained of his dis
position to yield.
The report that the siege of Siiistria had been
raised is fully confirmed.
Omar Pasha at last accounts was advancing
with his whole force to the Danube. The An

Brazil has officially declared her neutrality.
I he Austrians will march into the Principali
ties as the Russians leave them.
Letters from the Danube mention that the
Russians are leaving theirsick behind in the hos

disease and in battle.
General Schilders is dead. Generals Gortscha
koff and Luders severely wounded, are at Bu
charest.
The latest London papers state that the entry

ready to descend the Danube to Guigero, whence
he will march to Bucharest.
M. Deßruck is to communicate with the
