dangerous and destructive to the union Of
The States. The course of the AboIitionis,s
he considered destructive OF the best inter.
es,s ofthe States, and ifpersisted in, would
forthwith lead TO the dissolution of the Un-
ion.
Mr.. King, Of Ala, spoke in a manner
still more excited, and said if the matter en-.
bodied in The resolutions was discussed and
considered, he and his friends would forth
with leave the Hall, and the Union would
be Dissolved.

The Drought Tho drought of the sum.
mer and fall, and the cold dry weather Of
the past month, are producing serious n.
convenience in the central portions Of the
Stale, as we'll as in the lake country. The
streams, very low before freezing com.
menced, are now almost entirely converted
into ice. The Oldest settlers in the State
never witnessed such scarcity of water. All
mills, except on the largest and most dura.
able streams, are stopped, and the Mount
Vernon Waterman says that people come
go or 70 miles to Owl creek for grinding
and that large stream only affords water
to carry run OF stones at each mill. We
understand that flour is retailing at Massi-

Of obtalnning grinding.-HeraM.
