Atiolbrr frrrihle CaoflitjrBlio#. Our ell* has again b*en the scene of a terrible eoi.rtngratiwi, calamity with renulla more and. if less destructive, than hrretofofe witnessed. OnSstunity morning |«-,t, about 3 o'clock, a fiie broke oui in the rear of the Livery Stable occupied by Mr. N. IV TALLMAUUK, on Mulberry atreet, between Market and Fourth streets, end immediately ©omiiiuuicsfed from it to the Stable occupied by the Western Stage Company, end the Carriage and Wagon Shop* of Mr. SANUM. ARCIIKU, and the Prairie City Hotel on Market afreet, kept by by Mr. DAVIO LOOAN, which were all rapidly consumed, together with a Wsgmi Shop on Fourth street, belonging to the VVeslern Stage Company. Seven horaea in ihe Livery Stable, and Sixteen in Ihe Stage Stable*, were consumed by the flamea,before any efforts to save them could be made available. It ws* truly a sad and pitiable spectacle to see the roasted horses, toying upon the ground, a prey to the devouring element. The mere destruction of properly although lo be regret led, is nothing compared lo the sad sight thus to be witnessed. A number of Carriages and Buggies belonging to the Livery Stable, and two or three Stages were alsj consumed by ihe flumes. The furniture in the Hotel was nearly all saved, tome time having elapsed before'lhe flames communicated to that building. The Stable and Hotel with some of the sheds attached were the property of Mr. John Ilurion, and the Wagon Shops and the Stage Stables, were the properly of Mr. Archer. They were all a total loss lo (he proprietors, there being no Insurance upon any of the property destroyed. Hy tho utmost exertion, and the active instrumentality of the lioosier Login*, the brick dwelling liouso ol Mr. Archer, on the corner, was saved.
Some doubt exbla as to what was the osuse and origin of the fire, but the most general impression appears to be, thai like nearly all of ihe ten or a doxen fires which have occurred here during the past three months, it was the work of incendiaries.
The total loss to Mesirs. Burton, Archer, and Tallmadge, and the Stage Company, cannot be estimated at less than $20,000.
XT PROV. SOUUK, our Express neighbor, having glutted his vengeance, and emptied all the vials of his wrath, up»n the "Nebraika Swindle I" a* he harmlessly terms this great public measure, has recently betaken himaelf to the paths of sctenoe, and the investigation of geological mysteries.-— A fosvil frog discovered by the gentleman during some of his perambulations, in our own Wabash bottom, has been the subject of his scientific investigation. We sincerely trust that his scientific disquisitions will be characterized by more interesting results lo this community and the country at large, than have been the fate of the Abolition re hashes, served up to his readers since the agitation of the Nebraska question.
0£r At the Democratic Convention on Saturday last, a resolution was introduced, by an individual present, "rrquesting the editor of the Terie IUute Jtmrnnl to pubIwh Turn Benton's Speech on the Nebraska Hill." Th« reeototicn, however, was withdrawn by the mover.

The general Impression appears to be that the present incumbents will all be renominated by default. Other cusdidatea, however, sre spoken of. in connection with the nomination for St at a Auditor, by far the most lucrative in he Stato. (said to be worth 939,000 a year.) we see, that in addition to the present incumbent, Msjor JKO P. Doioi. the names of J.J. BIKGOAM, of Lafayette. E. ELLIS CAHTBELL, of Valparaiso, and Dr. O. EVA ITS, of Lsporte, will be presented to the Convention. It will be a difficult matter to supercede, we spprehend, the present able and accomplished officer, who hss given so genersl satisfaction in that ca pseity. For Secretary of Slate, W*. R.
BOWKS, of Michigan City, will be a candidate in opposition to CapL HATDEH the incumbent. All the new candidates yet mentioned are from the northern portion of the State.
(ET The Nebraska Bill is again in the House with a fair prospect of success in its psssage. in spite of the denunciation of the Abolition press throughout the country, the friends of the measure sre firm and unyielding, and unintimidated by all the threats from such a source.

The plaoes which know them now will soon know them no more forever. They will be superseded by a very different class of buildings.

ST. Lotus RAILROAD.
-—We undestand from Mr. EATON,chief engineer of this road, that its prospepts are most flattering for a speedy completion.— The first 72 miles of the road east of St. Louis extending to Vandalia is now under cor.traot and will be pushed forward with the utmost energy. It is expected to have that end of the Route completed some time this fall. Contracts for the entire work will be let next month. We may reasonably expect ihe completion of the whole road in 18 months or less,
IT Matt. Ward, the acquitted murderer of Butler, made his escape on tho Saturday after his acquittal, by orossiog the river to JefTorsonville. He proceeded to New Albany, and concealed himself there until he was able to take a boat. When last heard from he was In Cannelton. No one entertains a doubt that if he ever makes his appearance on the streets of Louisville, he will be hanged on the most convenient lamp post. The out cry against him there is absolutely furious,
Hon. A. L. Roache. one of the Judges of the Supreme Court, resigned his office on Wednesday last. He was induced to take this step in consequence of the pressing nature of his engagements as President of the Indiana and Illinois Central Railroad, the wants of the road requiring his whole time and attention. Gov. Wright has appointed as his successor, Hon. Alvin P. Hovey, late Judge of the Evansville Circuit. It will devolve on the Democratic Convention which assembles on the 24th inst., to nominate a successor.
(&- A very large meeting of the citizens of Madison took place on Tuesday night, to express their seniiments with reference to the recent acquittal of Matt. F. Ward, by a Hardin county, Ky., jury, charged with the murder of W. H. G. Butler. Resolutions strongly condemning the evident mal-ad-ministration of the law in this instance, were unanimously pasted and JOHN J. Carrr*!MUt. the "volunteer*' in the case, who had been invited to deliver the address before the coming fair of the Jefferson co
Agricultural Society, waa notified that his services were not wanted. We understand that another indignity was offered him in St. Louis last week. It appears that a Medical Convention was in session there, and it' had got itself ia anarl about some point of order, and would not get out. A member suggested that Mr, CttrrKXtHttt* who was then present in the Convention, vat aa old parliamentarian, that the matter should be submitted to him, and that all parlies should abide his decision,

OCT A meeting was held at the City Hall on Wednesday evening last, for the purpose of effecting something like a fire nrgsnizalion in thia place, a thing very much needed just at this time. A number of persons present formed themselves into a company, and efforts are making to have a permanent organization.
O^rMessrs. CIIADWICK & WJESTFALL have completed their temporary Livery Stable on (he site of the old stand, and are now ready to wait on their customers with anything in their line.
0£R We see that EVANS indicted for thfe murder of his wife, sometime in August last, in Coles County, Illinois, wss admitted to bail by tho Circuit Court at Marshall last week, in a bond of $5,000. It was by the consont of the prosecution.
ADVERTISE! AOVBRTISBH—If you want business advertise, we agree with our sprightly cotemporary, the New York Day Book, that it is the only way now-a-days.— If you are a halter make your name so familiar to the public, that when a man looks at his old hat, and says to himself. "I must have a new hat," he will think of you. If you are a tailor, make yourself so conspicuous that a man will think of you every time he brushes his coat. When a man looks at his old boots, this sunny weather, and says to himself, "I must go and buy a new pair of patent leathers," have your name so familiar to him, tifat he will think of you and your place of business just as soon as he does of his boarding house when he is hungry. It is the same with everything and every body who advertise extensively. Their names become familiar with ihe people, and are associated in their minds so much with their goods and articles, that all who want what they sell are drawn as by instinct, to their shops and stores. If you do not believe it, try it, and be convinced.
O^r It has been aaid in defence of the mobs at Louisville, that as there is no law for the rioh, there should be none for the poor!—if the rich can commit murder with impunity, the poor should certainly have the privilege of burning houses, destroying conservatories, and indulging in similar atnuseaa^nt*.

Kentucky Murder.
Everybody knows about the murder of of Butler, the schoolmaster, by MATT. WARD, the rich man's son at Louisvile. [Louisville] Everybody knows that WARD ought to have been convicted of the crime, and condingly [accordingly] punished. Yet every body knew he would not be, from the begining [beginning], and said so. Nobody, therefore, is mistaken, yet every body is disappointed—for every body hoped otherwise than mas [was] anticipated.
We beleive [believe] that there is a Providence in this revolutig [revolting] affair, which will ultimately work out righteous results. There was the DESHA murder, which happened so long ago that we have almost forgotten the circumstances. Then there was the SHELBY murder, and the murder, of BLISS by POPE, of equal turpiude to the WARD murder and [Unreadable]
☞ The New York Tribune, in a lengthy article on the effect of the verdict in in the WARD murder case says:
Such a proceeding will not go unavenged. The class which has committed this wrong and inflicted this dishonor upon the Judiciary, will pay the penalty therefor.— It is an example which will not be lost upon the youth of that Stale where it has been perpetrated. It is apparently offering to them an immunity in violence and crime, which will be taken full advantage of in the future. This trial will bear fruit in Kentucky after all the actors who have part in it shall have gone to their graves. It will uot only excite one class to outrage, but anpther to resistance and bloodshed. Its natural consequence is to set Lynch Law sbove Legislative statutes. Such results loosen society at its foundations. If justice is found dethroned by her own temples, the very idea of respecting, or of regarding her will be mocked by the many, and all institutions of society bo menaced by a common ruin.*
But the immediate effect of so unblushing a wrong will be as certain as its remoter results. The ind-viduals who have been concerned in it cannot escape their direct personal share of the penalty it imposes.— There are men in this trial who have made themselves accomplices after the fact in the murder of Butler. Such are they who have sought by their testimony to screen the murderer from all punishment, and such are they who by extraordinary proceedinga as counsel have contributed to that same end. What are we to say of the testimony of the clergyman of the parish to which Ward belongs, of that distinguished editor summoned to the stand, of the browbeating of one attorney and the insolence of another, and above above »W of tbe wnusual and most extraordinary course of the late Attor-ney-General, Mr. Crittenden, in volunteering a defense of the criminal The inference that so pure Mid distingished a man would not volunteer in defense of a guilty man. as was alleged by the friends of Ward,
Mr. Crittenden may not be responsible for but he is responsible for the fact that he sufferred that inference to go unrebuked, and by his silence gave color to its truth.— In voluntering ir* this case Mr. Crittenden has shown a disposition to place the acquittal of a notorious murderer above the demands of impartial justice, snd in doicg so has inflicted a slain upon his own character which will adhere to the and of bis oareer The aot is toe prominent and too flagrant to escape present censure and lasting condemnation."
The tesha Murder,
The Ward murder case has bean the theme of discussion among alt tbe N. York papers, aome of which have endeavored to find a parallel case in that of De*ha, some years ago. In giving a history of this latter, the N, York Times runs into an error, which falling under the eye of a Kectucki an, h« sent' the following account of the af fain

Permit me to correct a statement in your
fsaac
aper of this morning, relative to the case of B. Desha, the son of the Governor of Kentucky, about thirty years ago. who was tried lor murder. Desha met Baker who waa traveling eastward on horseback, as ha stopped late one morning for breakfast at the BtCfii Lick Springs. Suspecting he had money aad ascertaining what route he would travel, Desha, started in that direction. Meeting Baker a few hours after wards oa tike road, he decoyed him into a by-way kti Pleming county and murdered him. Ttai occurrence acquired such notoriety, ami created such a pradudiee that a change of venue was obtained to Hanson eouoty. There, though the political sym patbies of the county war* stroog on the tikrwroor's aide, aad oo effort was spared to save him by course of law, be was convict ed. Ha new trial was granted &n grounds which the public new approved aad ia the oouraa ef a few mouths fee was vied agum and convicted a aeooud time. A trial waa again granted, this time by judge who waa waiting to be nominated hy ika Governor, lo the Static. Oa the third trisl,the judge, who had now been ooa&rm ed ia office, beyood the power of the Guv eruor a ooutfol* assu aad aa indepeode&ee he had out before sfaosra, aad viudi so im
tatea the latter, that despairing of evading the lay he drew a pardon for his son, who of course went out free. Between the first and second trial, the latter had attempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat, but only succeeded so far as to sever the windpipe, which, cost him the loss of speech, lie then went to Texas, and committed a second murder on a fellow traveller through that then wild oouniry, and finally died in jail by ni& own hand the night previous to the day fixed for his execution. You can rely on these statements, as those of a Kentuckian who was cognisant of the facts, and present at the trial. ,• •». ••i.'-i
The Anti-Nebraska Delusion Rapidly Dying Oat. What great reform has ever prevailed, tested alone by the un*afe tribunal of passion and prejudice? How many ofthe blessings that we now enjoy have been yielded to reluctantly, or realized after those who discovered to their fathers in poverty and obscurity! Columbus and GaUileo are painful examples of popular distrust and unbelief in tbe darker ages, and even these distinguished instances are not without parallels in the present day. Now, as in times past, the bold man who anticipates the coming hour, and prepares for the events of the future, is too alien proscribed by those who do not hesitate to enjoy the fruits of his sagacity and his courage. But we mark with pride*the larg* advance in the popular mind which the few years bygone have exibited, and we hail, with undissembled satisfaction, the dawning of a matured and enlightened judgment upon the discoveries in government and in scienoe, and upon the results of progressive principles.
A few days now effect a favorable change in the public mind which it has required years to accomplish heretofore. While the world endures, error will work out its errand of evil and falsehood and calumny will weave their dark designs.— But the power is no longer given lo tho common slander to keep down the right, or permanently lo trammel the truth.—Men cannot always be deceived by the same jugglorb and by the same expedients. Intelligent men will not surrender captive their judgements to those who have never wrought one good result, and whose only practical achievements have been practical wrongs. A new impostor must also be armed with a new theory, or he is extinguished like a "brief candle." The men who read newspapera-the thoughts that fly on electric wings and revolutionize nations without a war—the practical and tangible doctrines of a hard, common-sense ago—cannot be caught or conquered by the counterfeits tint always at last fail to pass current, and by the charlatans who can point to a record upon which there is not a single act that has reflected credit upon themselves or upon others.
The fate of the anti-Nebraska excitement is already visible.** It has been not the wonder, but the paroxoysm of a few days, ll has been an explosion, it is true, for it has been bolh brief and loud but it began and ended ii nothing. A few noisy far.atios in one corner of New England—a few bolsterous speeches in Congress—here and there an efligy—the emptiest editorials of Greely and Garrison—these have been the properties of the drama, and with these it has endded in ridicule and in defeat.—[ Wash. Union.
Th« N V. Tribune states that the Km pire City is to he visited during the present week by three uniformed Companies of or ganized and disciplined female infantry (Lancers) from Pennsylvania and New Jer sey known aa The Fairy Light Guards, commanded as a baitnllion, by a mascu line Col. and Lieut. Col., but the aeveral companies will be officered throughout by ladies, including captains on horseback. ifhey are to be received by the volun teer companies of New Vork Cily with all ihe honors, and, taking their dinner at Ihe Asior House, are to see the lions during the day and return home in the evening.
Tbe Tribune aays: "We are assured that ihe "Fairy Lightj Guard" is eompoaed of some of the best! educated and most estimable young ladies of Patterson and Elizabethtown. N.J, and of Harrisburg, Pa., all between 14 and 10 years, a daughter of a late Governor of N. Jersey being among them."
If such is the conduct of the "best educated and most estimable young ladies,M in that part of the community, what we wonder, is the behavior of the lower classes.
Tbe Baltimore Clipper discoursing *e?y sagely on the politics of Indiana, says that GEO. G. Domt, on the part of the Democrats, could be elected U. S. Senator if he desired ihe office. This sounds "funny" lo those who have heard Mr. Droit's Whig speeches, and his denunciations ofthe democracy. The editor of the Clipper is evidently not posted in regard to the political characters of this Stale. •-.»
