Oft*ber to ia to-our buildings have been erected without referenceto their security against the ravages of the de vouriog element, while we are lamentably de-** ficient on the score of water and other needful appliances. We want in the Irst plaoe, a more substantial character of business edifices ; in thesecond place, a better supply of water ; in tbe third place,a thorough revisioo and re-organ iza tion of the Fire Department. In this last re* mark, we mean to oast no reflections upon ourFiremen, because on Wednesday morning thlt;*jdid all they possibly could do with tbe facilitie at their command ; but simply to say that theti organisation has become defective, and ia couse qnently susoeptible of improvement.Great alarm prevailed during the progress o the fire, lest it might (in accordance with the direction of the wind,) extend across the way to Brown’s Hotel, and the Reed House Row, in which event most of the business portion of theOity would have been consumed, but tbe firs* proof nature of the Hotel, added to energetic and well directed effort, prevented the apprehended catastrophe.Strong praise is bestowed upon Mr. Samuel Z. 8t ilth and Mr. William Sherwood for their liberality in supplying the firemen with bread, oofoe, etc. Doubtless others manifested thesame generous spirit, and thereby entitled them-selves to tbe lasting regard of the whole oommu« nity.—Oasetie.Amongberry, be grcj hiri bod ed at Hhi* Aral Gen veil suAt 1had brthe vie tbe Bletheirfcftsat’s» ip*M» wist,• owt ootst, a, ftftd bt. u«,is Isks afibrd* kr ss*» id ftftd•I IksfH itdid Iks MmaaasdCs.,9.Balviiiox,Orisaaa namra of Fridat siL»tOdifficultJudge I Govern lt;by tbe tion to shortly Gear up an i Sherrod conflict Shepart killingMr.Sherrod ing bin Very tod a g Geary's troops.Tbe City, M Govern'electionSenate.
