About onw o'clock, on Monday mbrning
last, a tfire occurred in a dwelling on
Levee street, (river side) between Leoni
das and Mary streets, belonging .toMr.
'Windhbrat, which soon communicated to
property next above, owned and tenanted
by Mr. Bakerbread, and also'to the build
ing next below tenanted by Mr. John
Betz and owned by the Windhors., with
also the residence of Mr. W.'s 'fkmily.
The buildings with the greater portion of
their contents,'outhouses, &c., &c., were
entirely consumed. Loss estimated near
10,000--insurance about 38,000.
The morning was $a exatmelycalm
one-scarcely *in4lrffro gh prevailing to
give direction to the smoke-yet it seemed
a miraclJ }at je residences of Mr. Zel

saved from serg t m. Had a strong
wind prevy arany djrection the.
destruction o a +opsrtp f i-ust have been
immense. '
The Engine and Hook and Ladder
companies were soon at hand, but water
failed in the cisterns and w1dlhi, and had
to be obtained from the river.
Mr. Geo. Boese's saloon and grocery
were in great peril on the opposite side of
Levee street; the saloon was on fire at
one time, and but for th~p xertions of the
members of the Fid and look and Ladder
companies,with many citizens,would have
be. estroyed with the store and adjoin

New Y -.-he Albany Argus of
the 15t e most gratifying in
-telli e prospect ,of the demo
cracy State at the approaching
presidential contest. It says:

word that I us from the north
anJ south, the e0 nd the west. The
intelligence of disaffection and defeat

the democracy, has served to arouse
and invigorate them. These states have

In every county heard from, the in
telligenee is that the democratic ma
jotity is to be increased or the republi
can majority diminished. Mr. Lincoln
has none of the piipulas4rty of Fremont ;
hnd that oatadidate, with all hie appar
ent success, was still in large m.inority
of the popular vote .of the state, His
opponents, concentrated and reieru'ited

of republicaniaiu 1856. .have only to
unfold their .energies, and to push on
from this moment with col geaus im
pulse, xaad they wll aweq.p all before
them.
The truth of the Argus' statementm s
fully borne out by the New York
World, (republican,) which says:
Strong as the republicans thought
themselves two months ago, they are
now beginning to see that the New
York election is to be one of the most
hotly conteested ever known in the state,
and that they must not any longer rest
their hopes of success on .the divisions
and weakness-of the enemy.
?Republican Z.dniquity and Rrpubli
can Quarrels.-Au active member of
the Black Republican party, named
Littlejohn, who has been speakerof the
New York House of Assembly for so
vertl years, and the leader and manager
of the republican lobby, has been pub
licly castigated in the Tribune for his
bad coua:ct. Littlojohn thereupon
writes a letter endeavoring to Drove
the official integrity of his conduct;
but Greelcy replies with curt facts, and
reiterantes his principal charges. The
dislike of tihe pl'oll( to the conduct of
the republienn legislature is so great
that even the Tribuno has now thus to
confess it.

A Just and Timely Remark.-Let
the issue -of the present contest be what
it may, we are quite sure of one thing
and that ds, but a short time will elapse
before <most of those who have been
busy in maligning and traducing Mr.
Bell andl Mr. Evertt will be heartily
sorry-.that partisan prejudice and party
feelingeover induced them to do injus
tice to .these .distinguished statesmen
and patriots. In er out of power, they
will graduaily descend to the grave,
accompanied by the admiration and
respect of their country. Men will
hereafter regret that any party, or any
portion of a party, should have at
tempted to blur the fame of .twe of the
most conservative, most excellent,most
deserving and most worthy citizens of
the republie. Those who, at this day,
represent iu an odious light the charac
ters of Bell and Everett, will, uin i
probability, after a few short years
shall have rolled around, find it oteces
sary to excuse andl palliate the course
they at presetut pursue.-[Alexandria
