SOUTHERN CosFEDRRAcT.-We published on
Yesterday an extract from the Washington cores
pondent OF the North AmerieaH, protesting to
give the plan which had been marked out for the
establishment oil Southern Confederacy. The
charge had been maIe previously. but we did not
think it Of sufficient importance to publish it. and
even now that names and dates are given, we feel
loth to believe that any respectable number Of
our Southern brethren seriously entertain the de-
signs imputed to them
We see il stated that Gen. Lopez denies having
entertained any such deaand makes load protesta-
lons Of patriotism relative to his rdculou attempt
upon Cuba. We ulso see it stated that General
Houston denied having been approached upon
the subject, but subsequently, upon his memory
being refreshed, lie acknowledged ,hat some per-
son had intmated the project to him. We have
seen no other denial OF the charges contained in
the letter aud no further rdeveopements in regard
to them.
1t must be confess ed that the charges in the
letter are made in such maHper as to merit a re-
ply. They are put forth with such earnes'ness
and with such an apparent ability TO sustain them'
that the writer deserves some confidence and VIII
excite tue curiosity of the public to know more
of the scheme. 1t must also be admitted that
certain events have transpred and certain declar-
ations made by men high IN authority which tend
sto siren gthen the statements contained lii the let
Ter. There arc men, even in Congress, from
both sections of the country, who do not talk as
Il they desired speedy and permanent adjust
ment of the presen diff culties, aud who use ev-
cry exertion to increase instead of calming the
excitement growing nut Of the annexation OF
Texas. The scheme in itself ia as ridiculous rs
was the descent upon Cuba. aud yet it may be se-
riously contemplated by the men who planned
the Cuban expedition. 1t will, If undertaken,
meet with as little favor and its authors will merit
MS they will receive far worse fate than did the
band Of Gen. Lopez.
The tone Of the Southern press is eminently
conciatory aud with scarcely an exception they
are all in favor OF speedy adjustment OF the
slavery question aud the restoration Of harmony
between the different sections of the Union No

PHILADELPHIA- The Mod City More Fire
RiOting- Destruction of apparatus. = The dis
trict of Moyamensng, says the Philadelphia cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing under
date of the 31st ult, was the of another out
rage last night The partizans of the Franklin
Hose Company, knowing that the principal DULLES
Of the Moyamensing Hose were either arrested, or
fled to avoid capture, on suspicion of being con-
eerned in the murder Of Mooney, the Waterman,
last night took the opportunity to break into the
hose-house and carry off the apparatus. The prin-
cipals in this outrage were not more than twelve
in number who, being unable to force the side
door, broke out the sash above it, allowing space
sufficient for man to crawl through and open the
large door. They then out the new carriage,
having $50 feet Of hose upon it, and taking it out
the railroad beyond Broad street. to one of the brick
yards, there kindled fire around it, causing its
total destruction. The hose was likewise burned
and cut to be entirely useless. The carriage
was built last June, but had only been in use for
two or three months. The value of the carriage
and hose cannot be less than 5000. Several war
rants out for the arrest OF persons implicated in
this affair, but they will not be served unless the
Sheriff does it with posse large enough to prevent
any resistance. This act will probably lead to re-
taliation and Saturday night is the grand satur-
MALTA for rowdyism bloody scenes will probably
occur tomorrow night.
The once quiet "City of Brotherly Love" is
now disgrace to the Union-a bye-word and a
reproach.

FALL OF FoUR-sToRY HoUsE.-On the 3lst

corner of Broadway and Fourth street, fell with a
tremendous crash, and several persons had mar
row escape of their lives. This building had been
purchased by Mr. Gilsey, cigar dealer, who had
employed men to make alterations. The workmen
heard the the centre wall giving way, and rushed
out Just in time to save their lives The front wall
was dragged inwards, so that very few bricks fell
in Broadway, and thus, no doubt lives were saved.
The appearance of the fragments is indicative of
too sparing use of mortar in the construction.
The building cost Mr. GilseY $40, 600.
