Tlm is Winchester in immediate coiinox- ion, by otj continuous lino of Hail Road, with Nashville Mcnijjii.s and Charleston. A doKtriK'tive tire occurred in Nashvillo on Wednesday last, about 5 or G o'clock in the morning, by which, much property wiu lost. About one hour afterwards, the cupalo of the Christian Church was discovered on tire. Soon tli whole of it was con sumed. It w,h a nice edifice, and one of the handsomest of the kind in Nash ville. It was built at acost.ofv'0,00l). It Is generally believed to have been set on fire by an incendiary. No in surance! vn.s on it, companies refus ing lo insure, from the fact that sever attempts has been made before to burn it. Another fire occurred about 3 in the evening, by w hich a good deal of prop erly, together with 82,000 in money -was burned. This was also the work of aii incendiary. About 5 o'clock in the evening still another occurred, in which more property was consumed, and ene child burned to death. Gov. A. V. Urown's family left Nashville yesterday for Washing ton, where the Governor is filling his duties as I'ost Master General in the Pr. iiidu.'it's Cabinet. We are glad to f'Ce our State thus represented, not on ly by ono of her mo,st distinguished yc.'is. bur. hv her f:iir d ui-'Iiters. --- j -The Litest accounts from Gen. Walker are (mite favorable. Sev al who have recently returned from Nicaragua, Plate that he will be able 1o sustain himself against all who arc expected to attack him. It is stated that the leading filllilmstero.s with reference to Cuba, are in correspondence with President Comorifort, of Mexico, with some iin -porUii.t movement, should Spain insist .nvr.2 her threatened invasion. BUSINESS SIGNS. Speaking of signs, uu intelligent paagraphist adds, the sign only points to the passers by, who might learn, by .lose observation, all the information it could give. It don't go abroad. It can't hunt up customers, and modestly or with boldness make them acquain ted with that which is for tho intere.-t of both pnrties. Bids and curds can do ibis. They do it every hour of tho y; they no it ii"t only in front of your ii'ncool l)u.:uess, where stauus your -old sleepy sin, but they pyo back into hotels, are the observed of all observ ers.

A Goou Omem. -When Mr. Hanks was elected to the speakership of the House, over the regular Pcmocratic and American nominees, it was taken for grained without further inquiry that he was the representative of the Abolition sentiment of the House; but Iin was yet to be tried. At the closing of the urs.-dnn we line ex-Governor Aiken, of S. C., offering a resolution tendering a vote of thanks to Mr. Speaker Hanks for the ability and imnariialitv with which he dis- charged the duties. of Speaker. It was highly complimentary to Mr. Banks to receive such a tribute from South Carolina, from whence he would not have received it if he had not de served it, and not less complimentary to Gov. Kakin, and through him to S. C. for the spirit of liberality and jus tice manifested. It is ominous of good, and highly complimentary to both par ties. We hope the same resolutions may continue. The resolutions pass ed almost unanimously 7 to I. tfy Again we take pleasure in con gratulating the agricultural communi ty on the flattering promises of this sunny and serene morning. A week ago, and there was a general outburst ing of (lower j unquestionable signs of an abundant supply of fruit; the atri al choir had commenced their concerts for the spring season, while the indus trious planters were, depositing their seeds in the soil, and going ou their pleasant march rejoicing; the little froggies too, had got nearly under full blast with their music, from the depp tonod sonorous sounds of the old well- skilled bull-frog, with yellow pants and gray colored short coat, to the lit tle frogress who played the triblc to a nicety. But a few blasts of old win ter's breath that bad been kept behind, came over the land with a sort of ven geance, prostrated the hope of fruit, and with its northern proclivities, hushed into silence the sweet music of birds, gave the frogies a little chrys tal jewelry for examination, and doubtless interfered some with the plans and calculations of the farmer. But the prospect is again inviting, the day is surpassingly beautiful and animating, after a few days of gloom and chilling winds. Success to you, gentlemen, yo cultivators of the great garden of the earth. May every thing conspire to aid you in the nobility oflabor, and i bringing out of the earth her rich and exhaust less treasure. TfSj A young man on our square 3'avc us the following, requesting us at the time to publish it. The words in italics were thus marked by him, why, we can't tell, unless the piece struck with peculiar forcw, some one. engaged in that calling. Gut M armed! Marry, let the risk be what it may, it gives dignity to your profession, inspires confidence, and commands respect. With a wife the lawyer is more trusty, the doctor more esteemed, the mechanic throws the hammer with increased power, and shoves the plane with a more dexter ous hand, the merchant gives a better credit hi short, a man without a wife, is no man at all. She nurses while sick, she watches for him in health. Gentlemen get a wife; a pretty one if you like them best, a good one if she is to be found, and a rich one it you can get her. A very trifling circumstance prevented the ratification of a treaty between this government and Paraguay. A treaty was drawn in tho latter country and sent to Washington for approval. When it came before tho Senato, that body changed tho term "United States of North America" used throughout it, to the "United States of America," and with this and a few other amendment it was sent back by Mr. Fitz- oatrick to Paraguay, The President of Paraguay looks upon tho alteration as ar, insult lo the other republics of Araciica, an I though Mr. Pitzputrick explained that the term United States of America was that by which our nation was known and ac knowledged in all documnts with other nations, tho modum Francia continues ,1 .

Tho press of Now Orleans is endeavoring to arouse the city to the advantages that it possesses in having the shortost passage to the Pacific, by way of the Tehuantepec route. Hith erto, a person travelling from the Missis sippi valley to Saa Francisco had to goto New York, arid then travel by tho Panama route 6,218 miles, when it is just as possi ble, with sufficient enterprise on the part of the citizens of New Orleans, to make that city the starting point for all the south ern section of the Union, and tho great point or distribution of the Pacific com merce. The following is a comparison of distances between New Orleans ami tan Francisco on the shortest route: To the mouth of the Contzacoaloos 720 miles; the transit is 230 milos, from Ventosa to San Francisco. 2.304: total from New Orleans to San Francisco, 3,200 miles. The distance from New York, by the short est route, Tehuantepec, is 4,815 miles; by Panama, it is 0,218 miles. Now Op leans, therefore, by establishing a lino of steamers from that port, suliir.ient to ac commodate the wants of travel nn 1 trade, and regular in their trips, would become a formidable rival to New York in the Pa cific trade. A lady wr,ted u Punch, referring to the law punishing men who beat their wives, that her's does worso by areuing with her whenever he makes a mistake. "I would rather he would beat me, that 1 would! Hammer, hammer, hammer! with his nasty, disagrcoable logic he quite makes my head ache!
