' FiRK.About lO.r minutes to 12. o'clock on .yesterday, our citlzeu8,'were siartiea by theory of fire. " Thete have been times wheiUhe crywas somewUat fa jtniliar to our itori,0tilmngtoa. has been signally fortunate in this respect for toany mothast and consequently when ftho alarm wasounded. and the ,re-bell took up tnev solemn but inspintfns refrain the streets were quickly thronged by an excited multitude, who Were for some min utes rushing hither and , thither, una ble to tell iq what section of the city the destructive element was (loing its work. To add somewhat t the. xonfusioQr same uuiiuuusiomuuiug uctuni'um 10 iiie num ber of the Ward in which' the fire was lo cated, add asVconsequetice the alarm Lell sounded the fourth Ward, when it should hare been the Third.' It was ; not many minutes, however, before it was ascertain- led that the burning building was that of T. OT . mu:- .- vui, wuu'ii , aiiniusiiu, uu lunu, uutwecll fchurch and Nun streets. The Engines were all quickly at the scene ot theconfla- I gration, the "Howard" being the first to thrdw a stream on the" devouring 'flames, wlifch was soon followed by streams from the other eDgines, altogether making such X vigorous and concentrated onslaught up on tho &ra that, although the, jwind was blowing heavily at the time", it was soon compelled to succumb to the mastery of more nowcriul opponent. The building fwhs one tcjy purchased by Col.' Atkinson, had tecn moroughlj re paired and put Tn excellent order, and the family had made their arrangements tore move into the building during the day. . Nothing' definite is known as to the ori gin of the fire. The floor's, of the rooms had been cleansed during the morning and the servants had been instructed to start fires in the various rooms; but as the fire . i ' . . - seems to have been confined to tho roof and ceiling adjoining tho chimney, it appears altogether unlikely that it should have originated from these, fires. The. most plausible hypothesis appears to be that it originated from some crack or other deficiency jn. the chimney, v, Kt f ft The "building was perfectly flooded with water, and more injury accrued from this source than "was really eanscd by the fire. The roof, which was tinned, was also ma terially injured. Cofj-f A. '.estimates the damage to the building . at 'about $2,000. The house was insured fr $3,000. A Narrow EsJapk.

The Wall Street Journal, a paper ol character, devoted to the subject of banks, finance, &c, has the following in its issue of the 29th Jan., which possesses an in terest tor Sonthern as well as Northern readers. We commend its perusal to the financial Solomons of our own State : , Southern State bonds continue slow, ex cepting in Tennessee s and Missouri s, which show some activity. The unprincipled and reckless manner in which the credit of the Southern States is being manipulated, ought to fire every correct thinking Northern capitalist with alarm and indignation. Since the war closed the Legislature of Tennessee has issued and put upon South ern markets, about twenty-five millions of indebtedness, the proceeds of which (it turns out upon investigation), to the ex tent of nearly three-quarters, have passed into the bands of the. "ring", the State re ceiving comparatively little or no benefit from this issue of her bonds. No wonder that the citizens of the State refuse to re cognize this debt In any way, being con tent just to let it alone making no pro vision for the payment of either principal or interestnot now, nor hereafter. The shameless manner in which the finances of the honest "Old North State" (North Carolina) has been manipulated, must, immediately, however, attract atten tion. A party of unscrupulous Northern politicians,' aided by a few men', "native to the manor born," and,- if anything, more depraved and disreputable than, them selves, have bribed the Legislature); com posed, it is said,' largely of negroes and unprincipled whites, to issue about sixteen millions of what they call "Special Tax Bonds." , Some ten or more millions of these bonds have been put upon this mar ket, through the aid and influence of one or more so called prominent houses in. this city, at a price ranging from -50 to C5 cents on the dollar thus putting into the hands of the "ring" not less than fivo millions of dollars! not ten per cent.- of which has been spent upon the roads, nor. for. any public work or use, m the state, ine Presidents of the roads to whom were is sued these, bonds, in. blocks, h aye been called upon by an alarmed and indignant people, to tell what they' hare done with this large amount tff money; ' Instead of answering like honest agents some of them have fled-the State, and evade, in; every way, all inquiries.-' The Xegislature has at length become alarmed, find a bill has been hastily passed, restraining the Treas urer from paymgafcotheridoflar of inter est, either upon, new, prld bonds ; alscin structing the Attorney General to cause at once a bill to be filed to Aest before the Supreme Court of that State, immediate ly, the constitutionality. ftJ the issue of the "special taxS botfdSIJinis-proper to say that there is not aiairJegal mind in the &aie tihd iaci?ysayLthaV W Mire batch of "special tax bonds" is illegal and. therefore worthless; jTJie people are clani orous ior mis decision unu-ii. is cijjcvicu that the Supreme Court will-so decide.

From the Lcaveriworth (Kansas) Common i ., , ,, wealth. j Most people have heard that for the first time in the history of the United States a Colored Senator has been returned to the halls of Washington, and they have con sequently wondered who and what man ner of man is Senator Hiram Ki Revels. 32 very one does not know that he is a Leavenwoi th man, and that while here hs w as a minister of such scandalous procliv ities that his own brethren and flock turned upon him and forced him to seek other fields and pastures new. The out lines of his history we propose to give in as brief a space as possible. Mr. Hiram R. Revels was born in the State of North Carolina, and we first hear "of him at St. Louis, where he succeeded his brother in the charge of a Church, and where he became involved in a desperate .church riot, wherein he himself was knocked down vfith a bottle, and in con sequence of which about fifty arrests were made. For this he was dismissed from the church, and took to school teaching for a living. 'rrfi In 1864 he was again admitted into the church, and came to Leavenworth in 1865. la this city he speedily became, - as pas tor of theM. E. Church, involved : in a dispute with the elders in regard to some alleged misappropriation of the funds of the church. It was at this time that Mr. John Morris, the barber who now resides on Delaware-street, and who is a man of much talent, published a pamphlet enti tled "A Humbug," in which he made spe-. cific allegations that Revels had plundered the church of the sum ' of $1,150, and bringing forward proof of the same. ! For this Revelsin the month of June, 1867, brought an action against Morris for libel, which he lost, the jury being convinced of the truth of the allegation. This trial was noticed in the Commercial of the 23d of June, and the substance of it is contained in the following paragraph, cut from our edition of that date : . "It is charged that the libel consisted in charging Revels with having appropriated funds of the church. A large number of witnesses testified, and papers, account books, an other documents were offered., in evidence. .The case was very ably con ducted by the prosecution and defense, and after able and lengthy arguments to the jury, was submitted to them. The jury retired, and after being out Six min utes, returned a verdict of not guilty, thus sustaining the charges as made by the au thor of 'A Humbug,' a little book, the merits ef which, it seems, consisted in its being true." : Revels being thus acknowledged as guilty by his own people, left Leavenworth in the fall of 1867, and removed to Lou isville, Kentucky, where in consequence of a pamphlet published in this place by John Morris, calling attention to his mis deed, he removed in the fall of 1868 to Natchez, Mississippi. It must have been somewhere about this time that we hear of him at Memphis, but how long he re mained there we know not. While in that city, however,-he-assisted in the character of exhorter at the hanging of a man named Moody, who was executed for murdering a Captain Perry. ; In this, how-. ever, he only anticipated Henry Ward Beecher, Mrs. Stowe and other remarkable Radicals who have a sanctiminidus relish for the horrible, and his instincts in this respect can hardly be deemed' perverted but seem to flow in the legitimate chan nel. - The last we hear of the Rev. Mr. Revels is from Mississippi,1 of which State he is now elected Senator. Another sugar fraud case, involving 855 boxes, has been decided by tbe United States District Court at New Orleans in favor of the government The sugar -,was imported under false invoices as to weight. !
