We have felt the disadvantages of want of acquaintance with the moil active Wing of other couniiet, ever since we took u(kii im the editorial manage-meni ofthe Journal. The difficulty h lcn obviated some wlialoflatc, and we trust the manifest propriety ofihen-rrstion made above.will cause it to Iw entirely removed.

Our shoulders must be placed to the wheel, our mult must be in Hie cause aud in nur labors. There is much lo Jo, bul it can oil bo done. We have a grcal Hiutc lo redeem, and il can be redeemed. 'I he weight of Ohio in the political scale, is great. By the proper EFFORT, we may achieve a victory, more brilliant than thai so nobly acquired in ICW. To the work of ORGANIZATION we musl address ourselves. We never were itronger, our opponents were never weaker, lul owe confidence most be tn our ov. it collected, concentrated strength, and not in the weakness of the enemy. A Hound Currency for the State, a Prot Ure Tarifffor the Nation! must be our watchword, and organization the end ot our labors. 11 light be disti-minaU-d, ihruugh ihe press, and from the stump, and all will be well.

The attempt of a few didmncit poliiiciiuu among the Ger mans of Cincinnati, to (urn into party account the Native American movement: and to carry the ucrniAiii of Ohio against the Whigs, has utterly failed.

Wo observe in the last number of tho Berks and Schuylkill Journal, (says the llnrrisburg, Pa. Clay Bugle,) the proceedings of a meeting held in Lower Heidelberg township, composed of a portion nf tho disall'eeled "democracy" of Old Berks. The President of tho meeting was one of the loading spirits in ihe ranks of Loe.ofocoistn a year or two ago, and a majority of thoso who participated have heretofore been identified with Locid'oroism. Col. Hugh Lindsay, whoso renunciation uf Locol'ocoisin is frosh in the memory of our readers, delivered an address in (ierman, which was enthusiastically npplauded. The following expressive resolutions were unamtnoits'jf adopted: Reiotved, That wo hail with much satisfaction the evidence in all parts of the country and in this county that tho peoplo are nimArnnig to a senso of tho importance of iho coming crisis, nnd are preparing to give an UNITED SUPPORT TO CLAY.FRE-LINGIIUYSEN AND MARKLE. irso.'pc.

The fire commenced in a Carpenter's shop, on the corner of Franklin and Jackson street. No water was to be had. and the flames swept on unchecked, down Jackson street on both sides, presenting a broad sheet of fire some hundred yards in wnllli. It burned out to Canal on the right, and Common on the left, crossing Trome, Marais, Villore and Robertson to Claiborne streets. These constiltute ten quart's, and of all the buildings which stood there none remain but Dr. Stone's Hospital, -commonly known as the Mniton it Sitntt at the corner of Canal and Claiborne streoU; the Public Hchool-honse ofthe f ourth Ward at the corner ol Treme and common streets, and the dwellings occupied by JMcssrs. Sweeting, Lang, Prats, Hcbritchta, Kentoy, Hlinnts, Allen, and A Mock, and tour others winch aro slight ly damaged. Mr. Allleck and some of Iho others had the out buildings belonging tn their huuses burnt, and Mr. AlHeck also sustained a great loss,cs- imated bv him at not less than fflUUU, in Ihe de struction of his valuable collection uf rare and beautiful plants and flnwers." 1 lie lire raged threo hours: spent ttscii lor warn of food. The Picaiune ofthe 20th says: To attcmnt to picture the scene, while tho fierce element was raging at its wildest, were iuiiossible. Houseless unfortunates were seen rushing through smoke and Hame, and .eeking a shelter which only proved temporary, lor the names were again upon them. Dcds ana bedding, furniture, groceries in short every tiling that could bo moved in the hurry- was seen piled ana thrown mgetner in isnai ami Common streets, tho owners sitting upon the little wreck that was left to' them of all their house-hnld Mom. Many nl the inmates nl the houses wero la boring under sickness and infirmity, and their eyes rolled wildly as they were borno from their homes. Mothers, half frantic, were searching for lost chil drenchildren wero rushing, with loud screanis, amid the fierce crackling ofthe flames, and seeking their parents in every face. All was confusion end despair, but the moat distressing sight of nil, per haps, was the removal ol the sick Iroin the maison ae Sante. God grant we may never be called upon to witness such a spectacle again. Hundreds of citizens aro left homeless, and unfortunately the poor aro the greatest sufferers. But the largo and costly buildings along Canal street have hi en as well as the humbler houses ol imiiiHtrious mechanics. Tho blackened wslls of tho former stand ; but nolhing remains of Iho latter save "the forest of chimneys." "We can HKcn the appearance of the burnt section," says the Picayune, "to nothing save a new field, just brought into cultivation, and on which Ihe heavy trees have been deadened and shorn of their branchss and tops, but slill left stan- limr sail mementoes ol what they woro in their freshness and nridu." Charity llosnilal, as well as Dr. stone's was in imminent danger. Though tlicso buildings were not destroyed, yet the inmates had to be removed. The sight heru was most sad. The nin.in of the sick, the piteous shrieks ot lemales, the agony ol parents and of children with the wild look which dcslruc-tion ever wears, made tho scene ono of melancholy terror. The loss of property (240 houses destroyed) is es timated at 100,000 ;u many as 1200 person! are lelt without a liomu! Collections wero making for tho poor. One hundred ami soventy dollars was collected at the Whig meeting on Saturday at a moment's notice; $'100 at Rev. Mr. Clnpp's church; and a depository for the reception of clothing nnd provisions had been established. Ki ery thing will bo done to alleviate the sufferings occasioned by this dreadful and disastrous calamity. The Tropic adds! We heard that a little white girl about six years of ago, name to us unknown, was burnt to death, being buried in tho ruins nf a house in Jackson street, between Robinson and Common streets, and no one being ablo to render the least assistance, such was thu intensity of tho heal thut Iho hutiso was unapproachable.Wo did not hear of any other casualties; possibly somo slight accidents occurred, but not of anyimportance. A recent letter from Washington, published in the New York Post, mentions the immediate cause nf tho late resignation of Mr. Spencer as sccretsry of Ihe Treasury. We learn trom a private source, on which we have full reliance, that the statement thus ninde is corrcrt, and wo theieforc annex that portion of the letter, furnishing as it does a further development of tho extraordinary proceedings adopted by Iho National Kxecutiiein connection withthoTexa. annexation project : Jlallimort Wmmcrni. In carrying out the preparations for the naval expedition against Mexico, it become, necessary tn procure the deposit of $100,000, by way of Kcrtl srrtn're monry, wilh a confidential agent at New York. As there could be discovered no act of Congress directing such a disposition of any pattof the public money, Mr. Spencer, when requested by the President, declined giving the order, or to allow it to be given by hi. subordinates, lie next, it is said, received a peremptory order to transfer tho money. Mr. Spencer, seoing Ihe game was up, coolly wrote a second refusal, and with it sent in i nolo of resignation. He remained in the department just twonty four hours afterwards, and having in that short space squired all the ends of his concerns with it, shook otf the dust of his feet against the plncc. In the meantime, the probability is that the $100,000 has gone into the hands of Ihe confidential agent of the Navy Department, and has been "confidentially" applied.

Capture of On. Preacclt by Mttj. Ilarton, on lilmdt Mm, tn Ihe Year 177U. At that period my place of residence was Nor-walk, Fairfield county, Connecticut In a few day. after this unexpected event took place, a full and interesting account of which appeared in a Hartford paper, Norwaik was burnt by tho British. We then moved north to Kidgficlil, whore I remained until Ihe close of the Revolution. From thence I removed to Saratoga county, New York. In 1808 I was informed that a sister uI'Muj. Barton's lived at a short distance from my dwelling, which 1 soon found to be true. Her husband, Mr. Benjamin Cole, a respectable, intelligent and pious old gentleman informed me that he expected Maj. Barton lo visit him in a short time. Having a great desire to see and converse with man ol whom I had heard so much, 1 went to Mr. Cole's at the time ho wo. to be there. I found him there, wa. introduced to the old veteran, and spent the evening very pleasantly with him. Ho was a noble looking man; his eye was uncommonly piercing, nnd his countenance expressive of firmness. Ho was affable and courteous iu hi. manners, but not in the least affected. In a word, one could not bulccf while in his presence, that ho was no ordinary man. In tho courso of tho afternoon I remarked to the Major that I felt desirous to hear him relate tho particulars uf Ihe capture ol (ion. Ptescott He readily complied with my request very nearly a. follows: "1 learned where Gen. Prescott's ouarter. wore through the instrumentality ofa secret friend of mine within the British Cump, and with whom 1 frequently held secret correspondence with reference to the slate of nllairs in the British Army 1 then formed my plan for his surprissl and only waited fur the absence of tho Colonel, so that tbo command ofthe Re giment might devolvo upon me, in order to make trial of it. efficiency. An opportunity soon presented itself; 1 called out the Regiment and informed them that I had an expedition in contemplation, and desired to put it nits execution that night, provided seventy resolute men would step out of tho rank, and volunteer their service. Immediately that num ber stepped forward, some of whom wore officers. 1 told them (hey would bo exposed tu imminent danger, and that if any felt timorous they should step back again into the ranks. None went, I warned them lo bo on the ground about dark, provided each wilh twenty-lour rounds and two extra tnuls, and ais-inisscd the Regiment They were found at the place appointed at tho time sccified; all of them as yet entirely ignorant of my intentions. 1 led them to tho boat, which according to proviou. directions were in readiness. Here 1 again spoke ofthe danger to which we would he exKised and gave permission to any who were faint-hearted to step out of the ranks. Three wero panic-struck, and stepped out. That's right boys, said I, you huve made yourselves known iu season, we waul nonebut goodmcnand true! The remaining sixty seven went on board, and slowly and solemnly we shoved olf from the shore. It was a beau tiful night, the inoon shone brilliantly, and myriads of stars sparkeled in the heavens. 1 he oar. were mu tiled to prevent noise, and scarcely any thing could bo heard but the deep hurried breathing of the men. It would bo impossible to describe my feelings while gazing on these noble fellows, thus willing to expose their Fives to unknown danger for the purpuso of attaining that liberty, the lovo of which showed itself in all their actions. But wc moved swiftly over the water, and Ihe eighteen miles that lay between u. and Iho sceno nf action wero soon passed. After landing 1 foiincd the men into three divisions, Ihen endeavored to animate them by telling them that the success ol (he enterprise depended on llieir prompt ness and valur. Placing mvscll al llie head ol the center division, 1 started forward ordering the men to loilow winch they promptly obeyed, in a lew minutes we rcachod Gen. Prescotl's quarters, unper-ceivcd by the sentinel who stood before Ihe door apparently in a drowsy stale. ' 1 walked up tu him and laying one hind upon his .boulder and presenting t pislnl to his breast with tho other, said, 'You aro my prisoner,' 'Make no noise, or you are a dead man.1 I then liild him he must show me where Gen. Proscolt lodged, ho led nio to a door which I found to bo well secured. While endeavoring to open it, a negro who came with us stepped up confidently and said, ( can open that door.1 Ho stepped back Borne distance drew hi. head down like a sheep when going into combat, and came against il full force, and threw it open. The pilot then took us into the second loll and showed the door that led into Iho (jencrel room; this was opened iu the samo manner, and in a moment I stood beside the bed where Prescott wa. sleeping. Alter .lopping him twice on the shoulder he awoke, and started up. Presenting a pistol to hi. breost I said. "You are my prisoner!" "Who .10 you.'" asked the surprised General. ".My name i. Unrton, sir, first Major to ft certain Ucgiincnt or Rhode (Bland troops, and you must be out ol bed im mediately." He then got out of bed and attempted to put on his breeches. Slop Gen. said 1 you can't have lime to do that, our situation u too dangerous. 1 then ordered the men lo take him and Ins cloths on board ono nf the boats, which waa speedily duno, notwithstanding Iho old fellow grumhied much that ho should bo taken prisoner without having lime to dress himself. All remained .till imtil a few moment, after we left the shore when a tremendous uproar wa. heard in Ihe direction of the Briiish Camp. We plied the oar. wilh all possible speed, supposing thai we would bo pursued. Nor were we mistaken; in a few moments great numbers of the British came running to the shureaud discharged atromenduua volly of mu.-quetry nt the boats but without the Icaat effect. U lien we returned great number, ol persons throng ed the shore, anxious lo know for what pur pone we had left tho camp in such a singular manner. Anil great indeed was the rejoicing when thoy wore told that Gen. Prescott was our prisoner." This circumstance, trilling as it may seem was pro ductive uf very beneficial results. At that timo t dark clnud seemed gathering over America. And many foared that sho would be obliged lo woar the galling yoke of British tyranny.

And lately, at Oxford, there ha. been a magnificent copy of tin. edition. "King James' Bible," printed, word lor word, ptigo Tor page, letter lor let'.er, perfect iir simile of the first original copy. I behove, (added the Dr.) lhal a copy nf this curious and elegant work is in the possession of the American Bible Society. t r.nimir s Bible is now exceedingly rare, and il it dillicult to find a perfect copy in this country. i ho uencva lliblo waa a great lavonlo with (he Puritans, and accordingly there are many of them iu this country, especially in New England. 1'ho "Bishop's" is a work of great authority, and displays tho greatest labnr, and the moat profound learning, on tlie part of its collators; it is very rare on either side of Ihe water. Fewer wero printed than the Geneva Bible, a. the latter was even a greater favorite with Iho Puritan, nf Ihe time. I know of but ono entire copy of tho "Bishop's Bible" in this country, and this wa. a present from the great Bible collector of his age, the Duke of Sussex, who, having a duplicalo in his xsseMinn, was pleased tu .end it to this country, in hopes that it would prove ot utility, and bo carclully preserved, as indeed it is. As tn tho last in Ihe list, "King James's," it is well known, being that in common use. The Bishop's Bible" ha. several prculiaritio. of translation, some of which are very striking and bountiful. For instance, in Ihe second verse of llie eth not in ont llnle ." how expressive, bow full of meaning die rendering i Of the Bible, printed, from Die first, in our own country. I will now .ay a few words. The first waa Elliot's "Indian Bible," which displays much pains and genius in the preparation a Herculean work, indeed. It wa. published in the year KiMI, and tlie second edition twenty yeans thereafter. It is very scarce, although there are copies, (a few of iho first edition,) extant. It was printed Whe expense of an incorporated body in England ; and a half century elapsed without the publication of any other A-mcrican copy of the Bible. In 1708, according to Dr. Holmes, the author of "American Annals;'' an English Bible wa. printed in Gennautown, Pennsylvania, but this I am inclined lo think is a mistako. I havo never seen a copy, although I have taken great pains to search it out ; nor have I ever seen any ono who has been more fortunate in this particular than myself. Il is Mid thai a Bible, in English was primed, contrary to law, in Boston, being an exact copy ol a Loudon edition, or an Eiliuburg one, 1 am not certain which, and Unit copies of it are now existing. If so, it would of course be difficult to identity them. And now we come to a very interesting fact, ami one that Americans ought lo know and remember. In tho time of tlie Revolutionary conflict between the colonics and the mofher country, in consnquc-nca of the great impediment, interposed to conveysnco between Hie two, and the suspension nf intercouse, thero was found to ho a grcal want of Bibles. Robert Atkin, of Philadelphia, a bookseller, in thi. ex igency, expressed a wish to Congress to issue, under their protection and patronage, a, copy ol tho Hcriptures, and inr mis purpose, petitioned that body, then silting in Philadelphia, in 1781, for permission to do so. A favorable report which Dr. R. read was made upon this memorial, and a Committee wna appointed, consisting of Mr, William White, (after wards Bishop White, James Duane, and another, lo supervise the publication proposed; they discharged this duty, made their report to Congress, and a reso lution ol approbation was passed by that body. Applause lollowed the relation ol (hi. incident Here, continued the Doctor, is the only act of nur country as a country, in favor of the Bible 1 Tho only act in behalf of the Bible, since the Declaration of Independence. Here we see nur venerable father, taking an early and decided stand in favor qf the Holy Scriptures, and fur the spread of it over the country. Mr. President, I do not wonder that Cornwnllis labored in vain, in his attempts to subdue such a race of men u that; that tiis redoubt, failed, while the ruler, of the land were looking to heaven for assistance, and were relying upon the Bible a. their guide and monitor. Sir, it wa. then a Bible land, Bible country a Bible government ttepubhc THE SERVILE INSURRECTIONS IN TUB WEST INDIES.

Our chief wa. tho poet Placide, a mulatto, who possessed great influence among Iho colored people as will as among many of Hie whiles. Plscide resided at Matanzaa. I will now tell you the plan of the Insurrection. " i he insurrection was to break out first at the Sugar mills of El General, situated at Guatnulas, second, at those nf L.

The capital aud other cities were lo follow our example. "Al Havnnna tlie signal waa lo be given by firing musket.. The general meeting wa. lo be held at llie country house of the Count du I'cnalves.
