The Ellowing letter was written ~
Judge Johnston to his friend Col. Tay-
lor, in answer to an invitation TO attend
a dinner at Charleston, composed .piju-
cipally of the friends of nnlifcation.
CHARLESTON, Aug. 81, 1880.
My Dear TayIor-I have just recciv-
ed an invitation 10 your dinner Of the
Doth prox. Pray tell me, did it come
from the committee or from some other
quarter If from the committee, i am
sure not q man Of them could have sent
it, otherwise than rs mark of attention
i from another quarter, you knew mo
well enough 10 know that the jest is lost.
But ny OBJECT ia either ease is to enquire,
whether if attended the dinner, Icould
be heard witt! patience, while proving to
the satisfaction Of any man whose mind
was in state for thinking,
lst. That the protection Of domestic
manufactures was an avowed leading
and necessary object of the constitution.
2. That il was never lost sight of, but
always relied upon as the capacity OF the
country To produce developed ITSELF
3. That the late attempts on n large
scale grew out. of succession of such
iayeiopcments, and state of things re-
sulting from the changes in the appliea-
ton Of labor, which imperatively requir-
ed of every wise government to adopt
such a course of policy.
4. That Carolina has not only not been
injured but really benefited to many thou
sands by the Tariff.
). That no state in the union is more
deeply intcrestedin in maintaining the prin--
ciples of the Tariff.
6. That nullification is folly, and the
peaccablc course projected under it, all
silly and wicked delusion.
Z. That it grows out of deliberate
conspiracy against the union, which has
been steadily working upon us for the
last six years, though very few are in the
secret.
s. That Convention is the grand end
and aim and agent Of that conspiracy.
Ny friend, you have much at stake,
and you are not the man whom l would
think to frighten, or wish or hope to de-
ceive. Before Almighty God, ! declare
to you that believe all the above pro-
positions to be true and you have my
permission, nay, request, to publish this
with my name to it, for l am in earnest.
Yours afiectionately,
WILLIAM JOHNSTON.

STEAM EXpLosIoN.-The boiler used
in the iron foundry of Mr.. Mcqueen in
Cross street, between Duane and Reed
streets, exploded yesterday about s
o'clock in the afternoon, and left the en-
tire front of the building in ruins, killing
at the same time the engineer who was
ia the cellar, anG young man =. 10 was
passing in the street. The explosion
was tremendous, hurting the bricks,
beams and machinery of the foundry i'm
every direction and shauering the win
dows ofthe neighboring buildings. The
report has been compared to the noise
of twenty cannon discharged together.
The shock was sensibly felt in Chatham
street, and it is even said that the cell
ing in some of the buildings opposite the
Park was injured by the conclusion. A
large fragment of the upper part of the
boiler, weighing, it is estimated, from
five to seven hundred pounds, was thrown
across the street and entered the upper
story Of Il small wooden house, carrying
with il nearly the whole of the front wall
of the building to the farther end of the
room, a distance of about seventy feet
from the original place Of the boiler. A
woman by. the name ofMargaret Jacobs
was in the room at the time; it passed
within two feet of her, but fortunately
she escaped without injury. Other large
pieces of the boiler were thrown to the
distance oftwenty and thirty feet. An
old lady in another house, the door of
which was open, was found by her
daughter lying in senseless state, on
the floor, close to the wall where she
had been thrown by the sudden gust of
air from the explosion. The effect was
like the blowing up of powder maga-
zine. The part of the building in which
the engine was placed was separated by
foundry; it was a two story brick edifice
and about forty feet by fifty on the
ground floor. The roof, covered with
tiles, was lifted several feet, the strong
frame work was rent from the morticcs
and raised into the air, and the whole
fell with tremendous crash into the
street and the area of the building, leov-
ing not n brick or a stick of timber in It's
original place.

NEWPORT,

The effects Of the late revolution will not
be limited to France alone. Its emancipating
influence will extend to other countries where
the fire Of freedom, though smothered, is not
extinct. In Spain, the example of The French
has already reused the energies OF people
oppressed by CALLING despotism. Even IN
England il has produced results proPiiious to
civil liberty. Many individuals ofs,erl,ng IN
dependence have been elected as the repre-
sentativcs Of the people, and the next paria-
ment will be composed of more honest mem
bcrs than any which has assembled since the
Revolution. These are some Of the hsppy
consequences which have followed the recent
transactions in the capital of France. What
greater results are To How from the blow that
has been struck, time will soon disclose.
If the monarchs and rulers of Europe are
wise, they will relax their iron grasp from the
necks of their people, and govern them as
ftecmen, not az slaves. They had better
peaceably concedc to their subjects the rights
and privileges 10 which they are justly emit,
tied, than by a vain resistance 10 a spirit OF
independence which is aroused and will be
satisfied, to risk the loss, not merely Of their
crowns, but Of life itself.

The letter, which we publish to day, is
from the pen Of one Of the Justices Of the
Supreme Court Of the United States, ma
tive Of South Carolina, and is entitled from
these circumstances, as well as from its
purport, to the attentive consideration OF
every American. 1t charges a party in
South Carolina, with having deliberately
contemplated for six years past the de-
.lruction Of the Union. Such charge, so
serious and appalling, publicly made, with
a responsible accuscr, draws towards it the
attention, the deep interest of every citizen
of the republic. The impression at once
given is, that there must be foundation
for it, when an individual, so prominent in
Office and so unimpcachablc n his chsrac
ter, offers to maintain with ample proof the
truth Of his accusation. Nothing but
deep sense Of duty o his country could
have induced Judge Johnston to charge
with an offence so aggravated, the citizens
Of his own State. II, however, circumstan
ccs should hereafter occur 10 tes, before
the Supreme Court the correctness Of the
nullifying doctrines, we shall regret that
one of its Judges, by an unqualified and un
timely expression of his opinion, has disa
bled himself from acting ss an impartial
Judge in SO important an investigation. We
Shall wait impatienily for further commu
nications respecting this letter, from N"

ERUPrION OF MOUNT ETNA. Th
Editors of the New York Journnl q
Commerce have translated from Bor
deaux paper the following account
the late terrible eruption ofMount Az
ma, which occurred about the middl,
of May. The number of lives lost i
not stated but must have been very
great.
The terrible explosion which opened
seven craters of the volcano at once,
has destroyed eight villages in the
nrighborhood ofthc mountain, to which
neither the lava nor the fire ever ex-
tended before. All the buildings have
disappeared under the heaps Of cal
ciued stones g. burning cinders, which
were thrown from these new openings
of Etna. Notwithstanding the fright
ful detonations which announced be-
forehand the approach of the catastro-
phe, the inhabitants Of these villages
remained quietly in their dwellings,
considering themselves snfe on account
of the distance, which had preserved,
them in all preceding eruptions, how
ever violent. In the destruction of
these villages and the neighboring ham
lets, perished great many victims,
both men and animals.
On the 2ith Of May tho consumed
edfices were still smoking, and these
unhappy places were inaccessible, on
account Of the heat which WINS given
out from the cinders, stones and lava,
with which they are covered. 1t was
not until the eighth day after the dis
aster, that it was possible to approach
for the purpose of nfiording any sue
cor. But the search was entirely use
less. Never was calamity more ter
riblc, more unexpected, or more gen.
eral.-The shores Of Ca'abria, and
some ports OF Italy lying in the current
of the wind which blew on that disns-
trous night, were covered with the
same kind Of ashes under which the
places in the vicinity Of Etna were
buried.--Sicily will long remember
this disaster, which has devastated the
richest and most fertile country Of the
world.
