Pittsburg, formerly known as the “ Iron City,” is now called the “ fire city,” so severe have been the fires since the 10th of April last. With these impressions f approached it; on my way to the West, from Baltimore, ard as the steam- boat came within sight of the city, I stood expecting to see a field of ruins, knowing that the burnt dis- trict was the first we would come to; but nothing met my astonished eyes but new walls and roofs, contrasting strangely with the smoke begrimmed buildings, constituting the gas works and the roll- ing mill, where the government iron ships are being constructed, they being almost the only Brildicies in this part of the city that escaped the fire. True, there stood the piers of the Sccanaabile bridge, like monuments of the past ; but upon my nearer ap- proach, t perceived they were covered with work- men busily engaged in teuring them down, prepara- tory to re wilding the bridge on the suspension prin- ciple. Upon advancing still farther, long rows of fine warehouses were to be seen, some finished, others being roofed, and some just rising out of the ground, as it were from their graves ; and ull swarm- ing with workmen as busy as bees, nor did they conduct their work as noiselessly as the workmen at the building of King Solomon’s Temple, where there was “ neither hammer, nor axe, nor any tool of iron heard in the house when it was building,” for there was here noend tothe shouting and laugh- ing of Irishmen, the rattling of carts, timber, bricks, and the sound of the masons’ hammers. In the | main streets leading from centre of the city to the | river,there is scarcely a vacant piece of ground,and in ‘ many places, where there were formerly small irre- | gular built houses, there are now rising rows of fine | warehonses,aswell asI could judge from a distance,as | itis almost impossible te approach them, on account | of the masses of rubbish and the crowds of heavy | vehicles. The workmen are busy at the picturesque | ruins of the Pittsburg Bank; the fine, Corinthian | pillars and architraves were but lite injured, and will answer, just as they stand, for the new build- note discounted, if you are too well off to need it, and can get two or three endorsers as independent as yourself. ‘The greatest distance which the fire a little over a mile in one direction at the greatest width; that great nN ment looking like anew city, rg, as if by en- chantment, from its ashes, formi:; a most singular contrast, with the dingy and ancicut looking houses that surround it. ¥ ‘Where the other fires took place, the houses were mostly frame, and while the owners sustained but a sinall loss, the city was much benefitted by an acci- dent that destroyed various nests of small frame houses, which a riay endanger the city, and sooner or later must burn down. These districts will soon be covered by good substantial brick houses. While prowling about the ruins a few days since, I was shown where so large a mass of melted nails and bar iron had been found in the cellar of one of the iron warerooms, that it was found impossible to remove it or break it to pieces; the only mode of getting rid was to bury it, which was actually done, much to the astonishment of some future genera- tion of rats who will come across it in their geolo- fc researches. On all sides are to be seen singu- jar evidences of the Intensity of the firg on the 10th of April. Every thing that was at all ‘consumable was destroyed,the most wonderful masses of hetero- genious compounds, bars ot iron, ro!ls of wire, nails, clusters of horseshoes, and coi!s of chains all soldered into solid masses, and fe most gro- tesque forms, are to be seen in the rbbish every- where. Boxes of window glass {used into a solid block of beautifil sea green, yet each plate eeemmmg- ly perfectly distinct. Have you ever been in a theatre or a‘hetel, when on fire t if you have, you can imagine the fright which the inmates of the Exchange Hotel here re- ceived a few nights since. We were awakened about 3 o’clock, A.M., by the reiterated cry of fire, under our windows, and before we were exacily conscious of our situation, the gong was beaten through the passages to waken every one. All this while the light of the fire was glaring in our win- dows, so that we thought the enemy was surely upon us. I plead guilty of great fright on that occa- sion, but still had to laugh at some old fat fellows, in “grand dishabiile,” acting on the principle o| every man his own porter. y The danger to the hotel was imminent,but through the exertions of the firemen, we were allowed to go to our peaceful couches, to dream of fire, water, bells and engines. Speaking of the Exchange Ho- tel, if you ever come west you will stop here, and I am sure find it as comfortable a hotel as any in the country, with a most accommodating land- lord, Mr. Henry M. Smith, a table groaning under all the good things of the land,and a cellar filled with choice wines, Some other time | will write to you, telling you of the many wonders to be seen in this city of smoke, such as the forges, foundyies, glass houses, iron steamships, suspension aqueduct, ho- nest pol cians, &ec. There has been some difficulty in relation to the distribution of the munificent charity, called the fire fund, which now amounts to $200,000. Many men who were worth their tens of thousands, making application for their share of money that was never intended for such objects _of charity as wealthy colonels and esqures. The councils very properly rejected their claims. | Ogdensburgh. [Correspondence of the Herald.) OcpenssurGu, N: Y., June 17, 1845, Men and Manners—The New Company of Bell Ringers—The New York Herald eagerly sought For, Ge. Tarrived in this place a few days since, after a most unpleasant tour through the Canadas, where the people, as well as business, seem to be in a gene- ral state of apathy. Thisis a beautiful village, situ- ated on the banks of the noble St. Lawrence, and has evident marks of thrift, indicating its onward march to prosperity, and evincing a determined spi- rit to vie with other similar towns, numbering many that grace the territory of the Empire State. St. Lawrence is the native countyof Gov. Wright,which he well might be proud of, where democracy pre- dominates with its thousands, and that too, without the tincture of Old Hunkerism or Barn-Burning. Its hardy yeomanry, whose farms show that indus- try is enthroned upon them, and whose genuine hos- vitality is not to be equalled even in good old New Enghad, live happily and prosperous. In all this, they seem to show a desire to present an example, especiallyto their Canadian neighbors,of the salutary influence of a government controlled by true republi- can principles, over one that is sustained by milita: despotism ; and they contrast to the eye of the travel- ler, as he passes through the country, who is not | blinded by prejudice and who desires to see the | amelioration ot his fellow man, strongly in favor of | the principles which govern our beloved country. 1 otten come across your valuable journal in this sec- tion, which, you may be assured, is pernsed with eagerness, as | consider it the best medium of intel- ligence trom all parts of the world of any journal of the day, which seems to be thoroughly acknow- ledged in its unprecedented circulation.

These amatuer Bell Ringers, who originated in your city and Albany, it is said, possess a thorough knowledge of the science of music, and have reduced bell music to a perfect system. ‘Their concerts in the States and in the anadas have been fully and fashionably attended, and have received the highest encomiums of the ress. Musical men have adjudged them more taste- ful in their execution than the perlormances of the so-called Swiss (who, it seems, are somewhat sur- prised they should meet with competition). Their ingenuity and efforts in this new enterprise should | be rewarded by all those who feel disposed to en- courage and foster native talent, and who are op- posed to foreign iat It is a mistake that a challenge was sent them by the Swiss Bell Ringers at Cleveland, as noticed in your paper, and by whom | they were published as imposters, &c., as | was in- | formed by one of the “ Brothers.” Ifa challenge is | made they will accept it in your city, where they wish the test should be made. ‘The assertion of their having declined the acceptance of a challenge, in justice to the Brothers, should be contradicted.

The | wheat crop of Virginia is superb, quality and quan- | tity. They had donienced harvesting in good ear- | nest, but are now suspended by {he tains of several dayspast. The weather 1s yet overcast and watery, | and fears aré entertained that the ‘ wet spell” may | last for several days, nist! damage the crops. Fairfax | county is indeed redeemed, regenerated, and reor- | ganized. The New York Duchess County Yankees | and other Yankees from York State, have, in three three hundred families of those colonists, we are told, are now settled within the county. They came, bought up at from 50 cents to¥5 an acre, ithe worn | out lands of Fairfax, grown up with stunted pines, | blackjucks, chinquapin, and huckleberry bushes, | and at onée commenced the work of renovation. | | They cleared out the pines and the brushwood, | aey built new fences around small fields or parcels, | and set to work farming on the northern plan. They | did more; they put up decent log hovses—houses | bg as if built to live in, and not to “ stay” | in, ‘They planted potatoes in lieu of huckleberry | bushes—oats as n substitute for stunted pines, clo- ver in lieu of briars and vlackjaeks-—peas and beans | asa makeshift for chinquapins, and ¢orm in lieu of shumack and sassafras bushes. The plan ks | admirably. Adjoming lands in Fairlax have been enhanced some ten, some twenty, and some fifty percent. The Virginians are beginning to open their tet, are finding out that one Yankee for profitable work is worth an army of negroes—that a northern white man, even in our southern climate, will do mote work than three negroes, and with such a system as to make it of ten times the value. And not the least agreeable feature of these northern colonists is their personal neatness and cleanliness. They generally have on a clean shirt—a neckerchief —their shoes tied—their pantaloons without holes or grease, and their mouths free from the expecto- | rations of tobacco juice. They are seldom to be seen in the na taverns drinking whiskey, and | n leave their farms for | dance of employment for the winter, when the fa- milies of the natives are off to Washington, leav- ing “the place” in the care of the ‘ niggers,” in w care everything is certain to go to raék and de xcepting the kitchen fire. , wheat in Loudon county are actu- on this side of the “Ridge,” | are equally fine. In Clark coun- ly hundred acre wheat field, he saw an (o a young Buckeye, who was among | our passeugers. There were seven stout negro men | with cradles, {scythes wilt fingers attached, for | laying the grain ‘straight for binding,) who, at a | slow walk, swept a swarth of fifty feet as they pass- | ed around the field; behind them followed a train | of negro women and boys, near fifty strong, some raking the wheat into appropriate piles for binding, others tying up the sheaves—others again carrying the sheaves into heaps, while two or three old hands brought up the rear, by putting up these heaps of | sheaves into shocks, in such a form as to stand for | months secure from the weather. In the midst of | the gang, upona fine blooded mare, rode a white man, dressed in loose summer goods, and a Mexi- can sombero, or Panama hat, and with a long whip in his hand. This was the overseer, or driver, keeping all hands in the traces, “Is that the way | you do things in this country,” asked the uckeye, “Yes, sir, and if you ever should meet witha hap- pier, better dressed, or heartier looking set of Afri- cans, big and little, just letus know.” Still, it had | been well, if never a negro had set his foot upon the soil of Virginia, or of North America. It is his labor that has driven out of the state, for the last fort? years, the stamina of the State, her working | white amen, who are compelled to work for their | subsistence; that class that have built up the great | free States of the ;West. Hence the rapid declen- | sion of Virginia. But the Yankees of Fairfax, are | setting an example, which is to redeem the State. There is plenty of room in Virginia for such colo- | nists. In this valley alone, there is a strip of slate land, some seven miles in width, and perhaps a hun- | h; dred in length, or more, in almost any part of which, lands may be bought, easy of resuscitation, sand easy of tliage,at from $2 to $5 an acre, where the original timber remains at from $3 to $10. | And this valley is a_most beautiful agricultural re- | gion—only equalled in its scenery, by the Highlands | of the Hudson; and as for society, we have the | very best, in which a stranger soon feels perfectly at | home. = But we shall write you more at length on this sub- ject in aday or two, on my return.

Allow me to inform the numerous readers of your widely circulated paper, of an entirely new style of propelier, intended for steam navigation, which bids | fair to supercede all that have as yet been introduc- | ed. ‘This invention, which has been made by Mr. Leonard Phieger, agentleman of this place, is the first and only deviation from the principle of a screw that has been made in the submerged propeller. He | has had it attached to asmall boat, that its merits might be most fully and fairly tested, and the expe- riment has been crowned with such eminent suc- | cess as to claim, in my opinion, a place forthe name | of the originator upon the highest and most durable | monuments of genius. Whilst the diminutive steam- | erwas on trial, it was proposed by alumber merchant | of this city, to attach it to a large raft belongingto him, that the propelling power might be the more clearly shown ; and here again it exceeded the expecta- tions of all—drawing araft said to weigh about 23000 pounds, against the tide, with comparative ease, for aconsiderable distance. And when it is known that the boat is but 25 feet in length, containin; about a two horse power engine, I think all will ad- | mit it to have achieved wonders. Its greatest speed could not have been less than 12 miles an hour, and it is said a much greater speed can be gotten up by lengthening the propeller blades. I could not give you a better description of the shape of these blades, than by asking you to suppose a conical funne! | separated in the centre, the line of division drs from the point to the swell; these placed upor : shaft, with their positions reversed, would form: tw« blades, four of which constitute a wheel, if 1 may so call it. The pe advantages which this pla: pos- sesses over all others, is not only in its extra pow si and velocity of movement, but in the manner in which the cone drives the water immediately in the | wake of the boat, making neither spray nor swe! which, in canal navigation, is an advantage hereto- fore unknown, and looked upon as never to be ac. complished. As Mr. P. has taken out letters pa- tent, and made all Wien arrangements tor bring- ing his patent cone propeller into immediate use, | doubt not that all who are interested will avail them- selves of the earliest opportunity to secure to them- selves the advantages of this most excellent improve- ment.

This wasa suit brought in the name of the People against Zenger, a printer and publisher of a news- paper. The paper contained some articles animad- verting the government and its officers—the judges ! declared the truth of which could not be brought into evidence, and that it must be left for them, the court, alone to determine whether they were libel- lous or not. 7 Smith and Alexander, the counsel, in their zeal for their client, Zenger, were, previous to the tral, exclided bythe austere authoritative Judges from the bar. But, although these “ silenced lawyers ” were prohibited trofm taking a part in the issue before those functionaries, they brought the whole matter before another tribuna!=the people—where their efforts were more successful.

And the memories of these two—Smith and Alexander—at least, should be preserved; and the others which have been named are not less worthy. : Why could not those streets which bear almost unmeaning names—as Cedar, Pine, Liberty, Ex- change, &c., &c. —be appropriated in commemorat- } ing the names of these patriots of old? This would be contributing “a mite” which their memories, at least, deserve, Mr. Eprron:— ‘our paper a few days ago, you remarked upor the old Macadamised pavement in Broadway, near | Park Place ; and a better opportunity never offered for trying the experiment of testing the round stone pavenient than that particular block now presents, if | they would take off enough of the present hard sur- | face sufficient for the laying of the stone, with only | gravel enough to lay the stone in. There is not the east doubt but the pavernent would last five times as long as that laid in the common way, with a foot | or nore of loose sand underneath. The only cause jof the pavement giving away so soon is for the ; ant of solid foundation for the stoneg to rest upon. This is made evident by the two blocks above Bleecker street, which they have just re-laid. The: | have not been finished two weeks, and if one will go and examine it, they will find ruts at the sides of | flat stones, as deep now, in many places, as there were before i!ey were §taken up; all owing to the want of a svlid foundation. Thousands of dollars have been n-ciessly expended in patching the pave- ments in Bre , to no kind of benefit; for im one week ; t is done,the street is as full of holes: as it was before. In order to have good pavements, a whole biock should be taken up, the ground pro- | perly prepared, and about six inches in depth of old | lime morte« and pounded down, after be- | ing often spri ith water, and a light covering of sand over it, which would make a solid founda- tion, and prevent ihe pavement from settling. One paved in this way would, beyond doubt, last block i five years without requiring any repairs, provided the stones were proj perty assorted, as they should be, and the whole width of the street paved from curb to curb betore the stones are rammed. The great fault is] : half the width of the street and then ra it, when there is no suppert in the centre, whereas, if the whole street was paved, and a light covering of fine gravel thrown over the same, and the rammers on each side, commencing at the gut- ters and meeting in the centre of the street, a per- j fect arch would be formed, and the greater the weight passing over the pavement, the firmer the stones would be ; ana if ine streets were paved in this way, you would not so often have complaints about repairing the streets, and the tax payers would very soon be relieved of a portion of the burthen which they now have to endure, in paying such enor- ious sums froin year to year for repair of highways. Make someting of these few hints, and oblige Paver. The Use of Wines—Very Important. ‘The errors so so popular respecting the use of light, pure, unbrandied wines, are exposed in the many extracts, of which the following are a few, from the | Penny Cyclopedia, on the authority of men like Dr. | Prout, Dr. Paris, Dr. Henderson, Dr. Dickson, Dr. McCulloch, Dr. Ure, and Prefessor Leibig: “The light wines of France, of the Rhine, the Moselle, and the pure light sherries of Spain, to which brandy is not added, are much to be commended as more whole- som, and but little more expensive; at all events, the health would gain, where the purse suffers.” | “It has been shown above that a free acid is necessary | for the evolution of the bouquet; also for the agreeable- | Bess of the wine, and no doubt for its wholesomeness. It is, therefore, a popular error to denounce the acidity of | wine; the kind of acid present is, however, a very im- | portant point. Tartaric acid is best.” “Dr. Leibig unhesitatingly affirms that, while to the | free acid the exquisite bouquet of the Rhine wines is j to the tartar present in them some of their mo: ry properties belong. To this he attributes ti ity enjoyed by those on the Rhine and Moselle— i who use the German wines, from the uric acid esis, This statement of the utility of these wines might be suspected to originate in national par- tiality; but itis fully confirmed by Dr. Prout, and many others who have attended to the subject, and who have investigated it free from prejudice or favor.” “Wines of warm climates sess little if any odor; wines grown in France have it in a marked degree; but | inthe wines from the Rhine aud Moselle, the perfume is | most intense.” “Dr, Prout (on stomach and renal diseases, 4th edi 8.) positively declares that pure sherry wine contains less acid and sugar thi ny other wine,but several ca: | ful experiments on different wines hardly confirm this statement.” | “It will be found that port wine, both red and white, | has as little free acid as the finest sherries.” “The addition of any distilled spirit to wine is always to be reprobated, as it destroys the finer qualities of the wine, making it flat and mawkish, That much alcohol is rot necessary to the keeping of wine, it is clear, since the Rhine wines keep fora century, without a drop of alcohol; yet in those wines tho alcohol is never more than seven or eight per cent. “Dr MeCulloch has forcibly pointed out the evils of adding brandy to wine. ‘This practice, universal in the ves of Spain, Portugal, and Sicily, which are made up iglish market, has also been introduced into onr domestic wines.” pure light wines of France and Germany, as wells the finer kinds of hght sherries, produce en grecableexhiliration of mind, very unlike the mere hysical excitement, almost amounting to ferocity, which results irom the largely brandied wine, which are too | much in vogue land.” The disease also which at tend spirit Crinkers, fly di rs of the liver, commonly met with among the consumers of wii which brandy has been adventitiously added; though such disorders rarely, if ever, follow even the intem- perate use of pure wines.” “The extention, therefore, of a taste for the unsophisticated wines in this country, would tional benefit.” . , Anoted drinker of the strong brandied wines, of which he has discontinued, declares the above state- | ments true to the very letter.
