THE NEW YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 6403. “ANOTHER GREAT CONFLAGRATION. errr 3 of Over Three Hundred Thousand Dollars Worth of Property. LARGE BUILDINGS IN RUINS. ACCIDENTS, INCIDENTS, ke, de, ke Yesterday morning our city was visited by another one those disastrous conflagrations, which during the last have swept away so many millions of dollars th of . About two o'clock in the morning, of the officers of the Second district police, saw issuing from the basement of the large bindery 8 Spruce street, and the alarm of fire immediately over the city. As usual, the firemen were on the ground almost before first notes of the Hall bell had died away, and imme- i several streams of water were falling upon the Notwithstanding the exertions of the firemen the police, the fire continued gradually to increase ‘til half-past three o’clock, when the entire building came enveloped in one blaze. With the rapidity of city the flames communicated to the adjoining ildings, and before 4 o'clock five of the largest estab- uments on Spruce street were adding to the conflagra Many of the floors of these buildings being filled with and other combustible materials, accounts for the increase of the fire. ‘The five buildings which were consumed were Nos. 8, 0, 12, 14 and 16 Spruce street; and several of the new ildings now being erected on Beekman street were moro Yess damaged by the falling of the walls of the burning uins which adjoined them in the rear. At one time uring the conflagration, the scene was grand. Allof buildings being on fire at one time, a tremendous of flame rose above the block, which lit up, almost the light of day, the lower part of the city anda ster portion of Brooklyn. The East river was illumi- ited from Coriners Hook to the Battery, and the various eraft plying to and fro upon the sparkling waters re lighted on their way by this grand midnight torch. At about six o'clock, when half the block from a dis- seemed in a blaze, it was feared that the conflagra- { would be more disastrous than any which visited us uring the past few months. Not only the entire block br s while seemed in imminent danger, but the wind be- rather high, carried the living coals to a great dis- ce on the roofs of houses and on the heads of specta- brs, threatening conflagration to more blocks than one. it adjoining No. 16 was a large six story brick building, occupied and unfinished, which stopped the progress of fire, affording nothing for the devouring elements to upon. On the Beekman street side, the consuming were also joined by unfinished buildings, which o stopped the progress of the fire in that direction. for this fortunate boundary by mere shells of houses, is mo conjecturing where the conflagration would pve ended. ‘The fire originated in some rags stowed away in the . of building No. 8 Spruce street. The cause of or how the fire came there, is yet not known. While flames were raging fiercely, the report spread that itriol was stored in one of the houses, which caused sensation among the firemen. ‘There could not have been less than three hundred nd dollars worth of property destroyed.

The heat of the flames was at times so intense that it would almost scorch any one to remain im Spruce street in front of the fire. i Robert Allison, a policeman, was badly burned about the face. Assistant Foreman Smith, of Hook and Ladder No. 1, ‘was also seriously burned in the face. These were all the accidents which we heard of. Yesterday thousands flocked to the scene of the disas- ter to witness the ruins. The walls yet remain standing, and great velumes of smoke yet roll up from the ruins. Within the space of a few hours the fruits of years have been swept away. But in such a city as this such disas- ters are quite common. NEBRASKA! NEBRASKA! ‘The Women Called to the Resouc. AN APPEAL TO THE WOMEN OF THE FREE STATES OF AMERICA, ON THE PRESENT CRISIS IN OUR COUNTRY. ‘BY MES. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE. The Providence of God has brought our nation to a exiais of most solemn interest. A ers is now pending in our national legislature which is most thee foes one) the temporal and eternal interests not onl; ourselves, but of our children, and our children’s children, for ages yet unborn. ch our nation it is to affect the interests of liberty and - tianity throughout the whole world. Of the woes, the injustice and the misery of slavery, 5 and it is not needful to There is but one feel one opinion on this usall. Ido not think re is a mother among us who clasps her child to hor breast, who could ever be made to feel it right that that child should be a slave; not a m among us all who would not rather lay that child in its grave. Nor can I believe that there is a woman so unchtistian as to think it right to inflict on her neighbor’s child what she would think worse than death were it inflicted u her own. 1 do not think there is a wife who would pe ‘that her husband should be sold to a trader, and ced all his life without rights and without » I do not believe there is a husband who would it zen tied his wife should be onaldered, by Inw, the pro} of another man, me own. not Think there is a father or’ mother who would believe it right were they forbidden by law to teach their children to |. I do not. believe there isa brother who would think right to hhave his sister held 4s property, with no fence for her personal honor, by any man living. All this is inherent in slavery. It is ot, the ree slavery, but the 1 nature of it. And there is not a woman in the United States, when the question is fairly put Before her, who thinks these things are right. However ambition and the love of political power may blind the stronger sex, God has given to woman a deeper and a more immovable knowledge in those holier f¢ which are peculiar to womanhood, and which guard the sacredness of the family stato. : But though our hearts have bled over this » there have been many things tending to fetter our hands, to perplex our efforts, and to silence our voice. We have ‘been told that to speak of it was an invasion of the rights of other States. We have been told of promises and of compacts, and the natural expression of feeling has, ia many cases, been restrained by an appeal to those honor- able sentiments which respect the keeping of engage- ments. ‘The warm beatings of many hearts have been hushed, our yearnings and sympathies have been re; d, be- cause we have not known what to do; and many have come to turn a deaf ear to the whole tale of sorrow, be- cause unwilling to harrow up the soul with feeling where action was supposed to be impossible. But the time has now come when the subject is arising under quite another aspect. ‘The question is not now, Shall the wrongs of slavery ox- ist, as they have, on their own Territories? but shall we permit them to be extended over all the free Territories of the United States? Shall the woes and miseries of slavery be extended over a region of fair,free, gies on territory, nearly equal in extent to the whole of the States? Nor is this all. This is not the last that is expected or intended. Should this movement be submitted to in silence—should the North consent to this breach of solemn contract on the part of the South—there yet re- mains one more step to be apprehended, viz., the legaliz. ing of slavery throughout the free States. the deci- sion of the Supreme Court in the Lemmon case, it may be declared lawful for slave property to be held in the Northern free States, Should this come to pass, it is no more improbable that there may be, four years hence, slave depots in New York city, than it was, four years ago, that the South would propose a repeal ‘of the Mis- souri compromise. ‘Women of the free States! the question is not, Shall we remonstrate with slavery on its own soil? but are we willing to receive slavery into the free States and Terri- tories of the Union t Shall the whole power of these United States go into the bands of slavery? Shall every State in it be thrown open as a slave State? This will be tho final result and issue of the question which is now pending. This is the fearful crisis at which we stand. And now, is there any- thing which the women of our country can do? Oh, wo- men of the free States, what did your brave mothers do in the time of our revolutionary struggle?

Never was ther great interest bey the commu- nity when woman’s influence was not felt for or for evil. At the time when the struggle for the ‘lition of the slave trade was wept ote gland, women contri- buted more than any other laborers to that t triumph of humanity, The women and children of England, to a great extent, refused to receive into their families the sugar raised by the suffering slaves, Seventy thousand families refused the use of sugar, as a testimony ef the abhorrence of the manner in which it was produced.

This will be not merely betray Pine liberty, but the cause of liberty throug! oat he world. And while all nations are moved in view of this subject of American slavery shall. we only be unmoved? shell even the poor laboring man and woman of Europe be 0 pressed in view of the wrongs of the slave as to inquire, ‘What can we do?” and we wives, and mothers, a sisters of America, down content to do nothing in such a crisis as this? What, then, is the duty of American women at this time? 'The first duty is for each woman for herself thoroughly to understand the subject, arid to feel that as mother, wife, sister, or member of society, she is bound to give her in fluence on the right side. in the second place, women can make exertions to get np petitions in their ‘particular districts to our national lature. They can take measures to communicate formation in their vicinity. They can employ lectur- era to spread the subject before the people of their town, or . They can circulate the 5; es of our mem- bers in and in many other ways securea full understanding of the present position of our country. Above all, it seems to be necessary and desirable that we should make this subject matter of earnest prayer. ‘The Present crisis in the history of the world is one which calls upon all who believe inan Almighty Guardian and Ruler of Nations to betake themselves to his throne. A conflict is now commencing between the forces of liberty and despotiam throughout the whole world. We who are Christians and believe in the sure word of phecy, know that fearful convulsions and orerturalngs are predicted before the coming of Him who is to rule the earth in righteousness. How important, in this crisis, that all who beli in prayer should retreat beneath the shadow of the Almighty! It is a melancholy but unavoidable result of such great encounters of principle that they always tend to Pd rate into sectional and personal bitterness. It is this lia- bility which forms one of the most solemn and affecting features of the crisis now presented. We are on the eve of @ conflict which will try men’s souls, andgstrain to their utmost tension the bonds of brotherly union which bind this nation together. Lot us pray that, in the agitation of this question be- tween North and South, the war of principle may not be- come @ mere sectional conflict, degenerating into the en- counter of physical force. Let us raise our hearts to Him who has the power to restrain the wrath of man that he ave! these which our as a na- Hon, have #0 justly deserved.” ksi ‘And as far as our social influence extends, let us guard against indiscriminate bitterness and vituperation. Doubtless, there are noble minds at the South, who do not participate in the machinations of their political leaders, whose sense of honor end justice is outraged by this proposition, equally with our own. ‘While, then, we seck to sustain the cause of free prin- ciple unwaveringly, let us hold it also to be our true office, as women, to moderate the acrimony of political contest, remembering that the slayeholder and the slave are alike our brethren, whom the law of God command us to love as ourselves, For the sake of both, for the sake of our dear children, for the sake of our common country, for the sake of out: aged and struggling liberty throughout the world, let every woman of America now do her duty.

An indignation m of the citizens is talked of, to take into consideration horribly filthy condition of the streets; and since the combi wisdom of the re- form Common Council cannot devise a way to relieve the people from the thraldom of mud, it is proposed that -pri- vate subscriptions be raised to pay the expense of hat it collected and deposited in front of the several dwell- ings of the members of the Common Council. That is capital idea. People may talk as much as they please about dirty streets, and the newspapers may “blow,” but the mud in the thoroughfares cannot be disturbed, according to the ‘‘reform charter’’ and the ideas of Comp- troller Flagg, for some time to come, unless the Board of Health take hold of the matter as a sanitary measure, and order the filth to be removed under the direction of the City Inspector. The Board of Health, thank God, have a power, if they choose to exercise it, that Mr. Comptroller cannot disregard. can have the streets thoroughly cleansed ins week, if the Common Council cannot; and unless they are cleansed by the City Inspector, it is not at all probable that » single load of mud will be removed from the streets, at the pub- lic expense, before the first of May. [From the Sunday Dispatch, March 5.) FILTHY CONDITION OF THE STREETS. ‘The press and the people on all sides are loudly com- ies of the condition of the streets. New York has ung been famous for the filthy condition of its highways. But their present condition is worse than they were ever took an intense interest, as well , ‘fom the ingenuity of the plot, the various phases which i,‘ assumed in its de- velopement, the personages (some of ‘hem high in office in the goverrment) who were complicat. ‘4 in it, and the success with which, for a time, fraud 1 thumphed over right and justice.

He was a man of great talent and bility, who might have earned for himself distinction a. ¥@ indepen- dence had he attempted to carve’ out an hon Wable des- tiny; but he yielded to the temptation with whi ‘t, in an inaubpicious hour, his evil genius lured him to. It yrould: be a ncedless affectation to attempt to impose on our- selves, or on the public, with the probability, or even: the possibility, that, after all, George A. Gardner was the victim, as it was sought to be reprost ed, of a combination of unfortunate circumstance.t or of malicious enemies. There is no use now in endeavor- ing to interpose a scren between his memory and guilt. Ee has, ere this, stood before the Great Tribunal; and le- gal quibbles and hollow sophistries no longer avail him aught in this world, or that to which he rashly hastened « with all his imperfections on his head.’ The story which, after the Mexican war, George A. Gardner concocted ss to the valuable mines, mining utensils and property, which were lost to him in that conflict, and the various deeds, documents and vouchers purporting to bear the seals and signatures of Mexi- can officials, with which he corroborated his story, and successfully imposed on the commissioners appointed to settle the claims of citizens of either country—the ndroit- ness with which he perfected all the proofs requisite to substantiate his claim, and the success which crowned his schemes to the extent of receiving from the Treasu- ry $428,740, (his original claim being $700,000,) stamp him as one of the most remarkable criminals that history records, and throw around the whole case the mantle of romance, almost putting it beyond the range of credence. But this is but another verification of the line which has grown into s proverb: “Truth is strange : stranger than fiction.”’ Mr. Gardner did not, however, depend entirely upon the completeness of the chain of evidence with which he backed up his claim, but—another curious feature in this strange case—he the legal services of a gentle- man who, before conclusion of the matter, became one of the Cabinet Ministers. I mean Mr. Corwin, Secre- tary of the Treasury—to whom he paid a large per cent- age of the claim, amounting, it is said, to some seventy- five thousand dollars, and who may be aaid to be the on! person that has reaped a large harvest of gain from ‘this stu) 8 fraud. I¢ is difficult to believe that a shrewd, penctrating Inw- yet, baving necessarily the lence of his client, could ave possibly prosecuted such a claim without havin, detected the evidences of fraud which afterwards manf- fested themselves, or at least without having had his suspicions excited. If he did detect, yet failed to expose them, he was derelict of his duty in his double capacity, fist of advocate, and afterwards of offleer of the govern- ment, and is morally, if not 8 criminis But whether he was 80 or on now that the fraud hes been exposed he is bound in honer, as well ae in law, to refund to the government that which he improperly de- rived from the guilt of his client. It was not a al fee that he received; if #0, he would have a right to re- tain it. It was a certain stipulated sharo of the spoil so dulently extracted from the government, and this he is liable to be com lied to disgorge, even: as the princt- palculprit himself was liable.

George A. Gardner was a native of the State of New Yorke and wan about thirty'siq years of age. Previous to the breaking out of the in war he had resided in that country, following the avocation of a dentist. He ke the Spanish language as purely as a native, and thus was able to eteape the fate which might have ‘pefat- len him in the then excited state of the Mexican mind, had he boon known to be an Americano. Some time after the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was concluded he ap- peared as the claimant ef some six hundred thousand dollars, as compensation for the losses which he tended to have sustained in the breaking up of his min- ing operations. Under the clreumstances which T havo detailed, that claim was to a cortain extent successful. ‘The commissioners awarded him some three hundred thousand dollars, though he has stated that the sum he actually received did not exceed one hundred thousand dollars—the balance of the sum having gone to satisfy the legal gentlemen who were sharers with him in the golden speculation. ‘The circumstance which led to the detection of the fraud was one of the not least curious in this remarkable case. A decision under the same commission had been awarded in favor of the Messrs. Hargous for some hun- dred thousand dollars. ‘There was no question as to the legality and fairness of this claim; but on some technical grounds—waiting for the receipt of » document from the kuown before; and how could it be otherwise? Durinj the last three months the mud and filth has been to go on accumulating till we now find it knee deep in every part of the, ' 1 - Why is this? Ener the charter of 1853 the Commis- | sioner of Streets and Lamps was compelled to give the | work out by contract—the contractors failed to do their duty—and the Superintendent of Streets alleges that all | he can do under the contract for the money these con- | tractors agreed to keep the streets clean for—is to re- | move the coal ashes ! The aldermen are powerless under the fourth section of the same charter, which provides that all acts, resolu- tions and ordinances involving the expenditure of money, must originate in the Board of Councilmen. And the | latter branch of the Common Council must first get rid of the old contractors before they can act, and even then the work must be done by contract, after advertising ten | days for proposals | The ouly jam we can se6 16 get ont of the diffonlty at once is, for the Mayor to call a meeting of the Board of Health, and let that body, which is, we believe, the only , one having the power, order the immediate cleansing of | the streets. It would be perfectly proper for that body to do so, a8 much longer delay will undoubtedly bring a pestilence on our city. We are induced to make this explanation, that the ple may sce just how the matter stands. We know that | the Common Council has been busy for the past two months, trying to get this matter regulated, though we do not believe, under the law as it now stands, that it will ever be possible to effectually clean our streets. To prevent bad Aldermen from robbing the city, the Legisla- ture has tied up the hands of the officers whose duty it | should be to manage the local affairs of the city so that | they’ cannot act. fore our municipal government can be made what it | should be, the whole power of managing city govern- ment and ‘appointing and regulatin, its city officers must be pu into the hands of the Mayor and Com- mon Council; and if the people, will not pay attention to the selection of proper men to fill the offices of Council- men, Aldermen and Mayor, they must make up their minds to be robbed, as they deserve to be.

A Broa OuTRAGE AND BURGLARY.—On Saturday after- noon Captain Donovan and officer Sherman, of the First ward, arrested a young man on @ warrant him with burglary, on complaint of a German named Jacob Bots, who resides in South First street, near Seventh street. It appears that about one o'clock on Sunday morning, the eats Mts. Bota heard knock st the door, and on 8 party of some ive or four- teen’ well dressed mig rushed into the house, with short clube fin their hands, saying that they were policemen. Mrs. B., (who is in delicate ith and about to become fa mothor,) remonstrated with the ruffians, when one of the party seized her by the throat and dealt her a pow- erful blow in the face, which knocked her insensible to the floor. After thiey'ng her on the floor the party broke open an inner iver, ronsacked the room, and car- ried away $5, a pair of boots, some shirts and other wearing apparel. The affair has been kept quiet during the past week, in hopes that the perpetrat of this vil- lainous outrage could be discovered and brought to jus- tice.

The principal counsel in the prosecution of this lat- ter claim, and who had been also an associate counsel in the Gardner matter, endeavored to re its immediate satisfaction out of the Treasury of the United States; and for the purpose of effecting that object he ventured an secrets in the Gardner matter, if the award in favor of the Messrs. Hargous were not immediately made. The affair thus got wind, and President Fillmore took it up warmly, and insisted on a thorough investigation. A close scrutiny and some inquiries established the fact that the whole claim was fictitious—that the rich silver Chateaux en Espagnc—that the signatures and seals of the Mexi- can officials were fabrications, and that the commission- ers and government had been egregiously cheated. An embargo was immediately laid on certain moneys, the roceeds of the fraud, which Gardner had injudiciously A criminal prosecution was. instituted and @ civil suit for the re- covery of the money; and criminal prosecutions were also instituted against his brother, John Charles Gard- ner, for forgery and perjury. These suits have been pending for nearly two years. In the meantime commis- sions have been sent to Mexico to hunt after the mines, and returned without finding them, having narrowly excaped being murdered by bandittl—another curious phase in the case—and to-day the protracted trial of George A. Gardner, on the charge of of erty was brought to a close in the Criminal Court of this city, by the rendition of a verdict of guilty, and by the sentence of the convicted criminal to ten years im t in | the District penitentiary. Upon the news of the conviction and sentence followed fast a rumor of dreadful import: that the unfortunate man, in the desperate circumstance in which he found himself | placed, had taken a dose of the deadly poison known as strychnine, and was then in the agonies of death. This | rumor intensified the sensation which the termination of the remarkable case had excited; and in came that thousand-tongued rumor, he was dead. It was too true. Immediately after his sentence and while still in court, he had accomplished his resolve unobserved, or at least un- noted at the time, and before he had been more than half an hour in the guardroom of the penitentiary nought re- mained of the guilty and unfortunate Gardner but a de- serted tenement of clay. Resolutely, as will be seen by the testimony which I hereafter annox—unflinchingly,and without divulging his secret, did he meet his death, none knowing from his lips of what he died. His brother was with bim, and he alone would seem to have anticipated and known the secret of his tragic end. He told the at- tendant jailors that it was a nervous affection to which he was subject, and which no medical aid could affect. Thus died George A. Gardne Tesolutely, un- yieldingly taking that dreadfal “lea Ta the dark’ T saw his remains spread the pallet where he. died, ‘pon in the rede iroom of the di jail.
