Fire in Greenesboro. On Tuesday morning between one and two o’clock the Store of Johnson !c Porter was discovered to be on fire. Messrs. Jones and Johnson the clerks were not awakened till the fire lia-i ma'ie considerable progress, and bad barely time to remove the blot ter for this year, with a few other articles. The store of Davis & Brother, towards which the wind was blowing, was soon blazing, but >-y this time sufficient assis tance bad assembled to get out a large por tion ot t cir goods. Both of the stores were completely consumed. The brick house of John Cunningham joiiTing the first store on the west, tenanted by Messrs. Willis Powers and Price,had nothing stand ing in a few hours but its walls. We can not estimate the lose of those in the house, just mentioned; it was considerable for nearly everything in it was burnt. About fifteen thousand dollars worth of property of Johnson & Porter, and about nine teen of Davis & Brother, were destroyed. Cunningham’s house was worth we sup pose hundred or four thous and dollars. # Johnson & Porter were in sured seven thousand, Davis & Brother fifteen thousand, and this is the entire s mount thus protected. The fire lias evidently been the work of some incendiary. There was no fire, when Johnson & Porter’s clerks were awakened, in the only fire place in which there bad been fire that night in the stun , and two persons who first took the alarm, assert that the store wa3 burning t:i (lie outside, the weatherboarding having been evident ly fired at the ground. The Iron Safe of Johnson & Porter (Herring’s patent) pre served its cm tents well, the books being only scorched a litlle. About one lmn j ■ dred dollars of bank bills in it received no j n jury. I The thanks and grntitado of the i whole town are due some of our citizens i whose untiring energy’ arrested the spread ot the flames. Nothing short of their mi raculous efforts saved the store of Howell & Nearv, which joined Johnson & Porter on the North. Among the most deserving we notice and commend Messrs. Bislioff, Nuonsehuionder, Latimer, Grogan, Jones and Funk, and we do hope, that oth ers will not feel disparaged because wc for get to mention them. The Negroes work ed faithfully and well.

We publish below, a notice by the Cru - ] I mrder, of the eloquent speech made by | Mr. Stephens here at Inst court, in defence of Mrs, Lewis. The speech was not only eloquent convincing and pathetic, hut pos sessed nearly every other attribute of* good 1 speech, and its rftcct was undoubtedly 1 brightened, because every ore present could but see, that it was eutirely unpre meditated. That bis client was not con victed was a great triumph fir the advo cate surely, as the Jury who sat upon her trial acquainted with her, were justly incensed against her notorious disre gard of every rule of decency and pro priety. “During thesessiou of the Superior Conit for Greene- county, which came ofl’ fast week a poor and down-trodden young wo man was brought into the Court House to defend her character against the charge of adultery. In a flood of tears, she announc ed to the humane Judge that she had no counsel and was not able to employ any, but wished to see Mr. Stephens. He was in an adjoining room, and upon hearing the request of tlie lady, came forwaitd, and with characteristic magnanimity most cheerful y took charge ot her case. After the Slate's evidence was concluded, (tire defenuent introduced none) the ingenious aud able Solicitor Genetal, opened the ar gument with a painted speech, the woman all the time weeping bitterly. His speech was short and to point, and in the minds of many bearers, established the guilt of the untortunate female. But after tie find con cluded, Mr. Stephens rose, whet), notwith standing the great crowd crammed and jammed into the room, having hocked in is always the case when a woman is on trial), many of them, to hear and laugh, the most profound stillness pervaded the crowded throng. With his musical and thrilling voice, he opened his argument With the most eloquent, convincing and pathetic exordium we have ever heard in a court room. As he advanced, many eyes filled with tears, and ’lie heavy laden heart of the poor, accused and friendless girl, seemed to throw off its burden, and was want to sing with joy. The speaker seemed to teniae that he was pleading the cause of oppressed woman, and although he became her champion without a mo ment's warning, or a minute to prepare for the and fence, his speech throughout, was the very embodiment of eloquence. We have heard the lion, gentleman oftentimes before, but in truth, do net believe lie ever equalled bimselt on tins occasion. *Jt is needless to say be convinced the whole room of the injustice in the prosecution. > While speaking of Mr. Stephens’ orato ry, we take this occasion to say, that his style is much purer than we have ever known it in a political campaign. ILs voice seems to possess more volume, more music, and less of the sing song intonation, and with these improver, i-uts, we think him the greatest Orator of the age.” The Charleston Mercury thus sums tip “the actings ami doings’’ of the American squadron m the harbor ot Vera Cruz. The facts appear to be these: Vera Cruz,.now in the hands of Juarez, is be sieged by General Miramon, bis opponent in tlie strile tor predominance, in Mexico. These steamers were a part of Genera! -M Iran uni’s force to reduce Vera Cruz. They were armed lit Havana, and came into the. harbor ot Vera Cruz under no colors. Tire reason why they displayed no colors is obvious. If they had displayed the Mexican colors, they would have, at tracted the fire of tire Castle ol Juan and l iloa, and they bad no rigljj to assume any other. Having pass _<[ successfully tire Castle, with but <\to shot Irani the Castle, to call upon them to display their colors, they anchored in the hay. At three o’clock at night the American Oom inodnre.or.lers the American sloop-of-war Saratoga, and the steamers Jndutuola and The Ware, to proceed to the anchorage of the -Mexican steamers. On hearing the. anchorage, one of the Mexican steamers probably taking the alarm, raised her anchor and moved off, and a shot is tired r-t her by the Saratoga, it is said, across her bows; but this could not lu;vc been seen by the Mexican steamer in the darkness of the night. The Indiana!a is sent up to her so overhaul tier, and her it nil is very naturally ans .ered by a volley ot musket ry. The Saratoga then poured into the. Mexican steamer a broadside, and a getler al tight takes place. The fotlowin is from the Savannah Mofning News, under the head of Wash ington Gossip: lu the meantime, Mr. D >uglas, admon ished of liis inevitable failure ibis time, is, we are informed, mustering bis forces in favor, as the second resort of Andre w j Jackson, late Governor of Tennessee, and at present a Senator from that State. He 1 is a self-macie, and very popular man. It is supposed that from the fact that lie-’ is really the author of the Homestead hill ptvjfc*, bo would take fire wind out of the striD of the republican party in the Noith upon that question; but as the agrarian scheme of free farms to all squatters on the public lands is resisted by all parties in the South, and as it will receive no counten ance from the Democratic Convention, Gov. Johnson, on this subject, will hatfdly | touch bottom at Charleston. But should 1 Gen. Lane teel compelled to vote for that measure, now pending in tlie Senate, then the forces of Mr. Douglas, as between Johnson add Lane, may r e competent to i make a -very interesting and doubtful I struggle for the nomination.

A Smalley, of Vermont, was here, after the assembling I of the Committee at Washington in Decem ber last, made bis arrangements tor the lure of the hall, See., freely conversed with reference to J.lie projected arrangements and made no objection. Immediately upon his departure, our leading, hotels commenced leasing halls and other suitable apart ments for lodgers. For these, in several instances, they have been charged fifty dol lars per day, and in every instance large amounts for'rent. These buildings have been leased from the Ist of April. For tfie proper fitting up of tliee apartments, ■bedding has been provided to a great ex tent, besides a large amount of extra bed ding in the hotels; servants hired to at tend to them, and every possible step taken to secure the anticipated crowd. They have made no secret of their labors, and have, iii ample time, fixed their price for i bon id and the enjoyment of those comforts which'.heir enterprise and a lavish exjien ditme of money has provided. Upon a little reib'etion it will be found in no wise a disgraceful speculation or an inconsiderable charge upon gentlemen who must come here. The several delegations who have already secured quarters, have, in no in stance, objected to these charges, of which they have been fully informed. After the departure of this crowd, the bods and bed ihvig, See., must be disposed of at half price.” Colton. The movement in England in relation to Cotton, must ever possess a strong inte rest in this country, the more especially as.the increase of the staple in India is just now beyond all precedent. According to information from Bombay, the exports ol Cotton, last year, to Europe, were six bun dled and twenty-three thousand six hun dred and 5 bales, being an increase over the preceding year's exports of two hundred ! and eighty-six thousand t lit oe hundred and I fifty two bales. There were also exported from Bombay to China, in 1850. one hun dred and sixty-one thousand nine hundred and sixteen bales. The total exports of Cotton Irom B nnbay alone, last year, were seven hundred and eighty-five thousand five hundred and twenty-one bales, against four hundred arid fifty-oeveii thousand two iiucdred and ninety-seven bales in ISSB ! Calculating the price of Surat Cotton in Liverpool at eight cents a pound, the raw Cotton export trade of India, parsingthrongli Bombay, is worth tw-iitvfive millions of dollars annually ! Then (ho Cotton from Africa is turning out well, ami largely ai g rrienting under the patronage of Manchester, Mr. Laird has just stated to the Cotton Supply Association of Liverpool, that gins and presses alone were wanted to procure plenty of dean Cotton front the Niger District, as the raw material there is abun dant. The clean I otton, which in Africa cost him from ‘.wo to four cents per pound was valued by the Association at fourteen cents. This information can hardly tail to j prove interesting to our Southern readers, especi. lly when it is remembered that the consumption of Cotton in England has in creased more than one-third in sixteen years.

A Novel Verdict. —A rather curious case was decided last week in Urbana, Ohio : The plaintiff Jane Brush, alleged that she was the wife of one Red Brush, an in tßniperate man, aud the defendant, I’eter Lawson, though cognizant of the habits of her husband, sold him a pint of whiskey onthe29:li of April last, in violation of law, will! which lie became intoxicated, and in his drunken fury chopped off the left foot of the plaintiff. In compensation for this she asked damages in the sum ot §20,000. Tlie defendant denied the alle gations, atid introduced testimony to sub stantiate liis denials, and further offered to prove the immoral character of the plain tiff, blit the court decided that evidence on the latter point was inadmissible. The jury gave a veidict of $5,000 damages. | Slavery in 1715—The following are j some statistics i t the “old colonial days, when our sober, discreet, and pious ances tors of the northern and eastern States were slaveholders, as well .is those of the Sout h.” One hundred aud forty-five years ago, in the reign of George tlie First, the ascertained population of the continental colonies was as follows : White M on.

After an elaborate and powerful defence lie closed his effort by the following striking and beautiful allegory : •When God in his eternal counsel C0I) . ceived the thu't of man’s creation, ne cal led to him tlie three ministers w | lo w .,; t constantly upon the throne —J nsticp, Truth and Mercy, and thus siddrc jSe( | them : ‘Shall we make man ?’ Then said Jnstiee •Oh, God make him no'., t or | 1(! will trample upon they laws.’- -Truth made answer also, ‘()h God n ake him not, for he will pollute they so actuaries.’ But mercy drop ping down l’.pon her knees, and looking up through uer tears, exclaimed, ‘Oh God, make aim—l will watch over him with my care through all the dark paths which he may have to tread.’ Then Got made man and said to him, Oh .man, thou art the child of Mercy, go and deal withs! y brot her.’ The jury, when ho had finished, were drowned in tears, and against evidence, aud what must have been tluir own con viction, brought m a verdict of not guilty. Indian Rhetoric —One of the Pen obscot Indians recently appealed to the Maine Legishituie to build anew school house, and thus figuratively described the old one : * I’iie building has become bald with age, and weeps now, within and with out, in every r.tin,and is ragged and tat tered as a dead poplar in the woods.’ •Tis sweet to hear the watch-dog’s honest bark, Ray deep-mouthed welcome as we draw near home;’ But it's the devil to hear when on the, in side ot a plank fence, ten feet high, with no larger aperture than a knot hide.

Several years ago, in the Ponficatc of Gregory XVI this gentleman was in the Cathedral ot Siena, looking at the busts of the Popes which are placed, after their deaths, in a niche devoted to the purpose.
