HUMILIATION AND PRAxxR.-Gov. Seabrook,
Of South Carolina, has named the fourth Thurs
day in October, instant, a. day Of humiliation
and prayer in that State We know of no
State just now where prayer and humiliation
would De moro appropriate particularly among
the politicians--than in South Carolina. We
trust they will improve BY the exercise.
That is one Of its ,ciAicisms, here is one of it's
arguments:
~The exports of ice from Boston since
January amount to 56,162 tons. We suppose
non-inlerrourse h Georgia will extend to North
crn ice, and then what will the fye-edters do for
ice to cool their jueps."
The Northern affiliated press chimes In with
its Southern allies too, right lovingly. Some Of
the Georgia papers having published the silly
twattle Of Grand Jury who had committed the
absurdity Of presenting" their late Legislature,
with some show of triumph, the Philadelphia
Sun thus extends to them the hand Of fellow
ship:
DISTINGUISHES PREsEsrED.-The Grand Jury
Of Harris county, Georgia, in the discharge Of
those duties which require them to take notice
OF nuisances, have madc psesentment dsap-
pro!ating the course pursued by the last Legis-
lnturc of that Sttc, in making provisions for
calling State Convention in the event Cali
rnia il admitted into the Union us a State.
That's the why to treat such disorganising, dis
union action,
10 which the Toledo CO., Republican Ia most
nbid Abolition papcr) adds, after rc-publishing
it:
1t is not the people Of the slavcholding
States that are in favor of disunion--disunior
sentiments are confined to the slave proprietors.
The peoplc-the real democracy put down
all disunion projects"
Thus it Will be seen that these Southern
submission gentry are getting into company
fist-and that the charge so falsely made Of a
coalition between the true Southern men and
the Abolitonsts, is literally true for all practical
purposes, whcE the submissionists are substi-
tuted for the former.

Terrible calamityI-Pine Blutf in Ashsssl

We regret to learn, by passengers by the stage
come up, that nearly all the business portion Of
The town Of Pine Bluff, the seat Of justice II JEFF
Gerson county, was reduced to ashes on Friday
evening last.
The FIRE originated about 2 clock, p. M, from
the pipe Of cooking stove in the kitchen attached
to the Exchange Hotel, owned and occupies by
Mr.. A. j. Stevens, both OF which buildings. were
snon wrapped in flames and totally copsumed.
FROM thence il proceeded east, end destrdted the
row Of buildings belonging 70 the estate 0f the
late James DeBaun, ESQ.,, and occupied by Or. A.
w. Brewster al drug store, and by Mr.. Joseph
Merrill, produce and grocery store and posi-
Office. 1t crossed tho street from thence, and con-
stunned the corner building belonging 70 Jacob
Leimbnrgo, and occupied by Mr.. Merriusan, 40 q
confectionery. From thence it spread southward,
and destroyed the Office Of Or. Stanford, the store
and warehouse Of Mr.. Morton, the store and
warehouse Of Mrs. McDermot, the law Offices Of
MIR. Murray and Of Grace e. Waters, and . build
ing formerly occupied as a grocery, and belonging
to Mr.. Leimbargo. From thence it crossed the
street 10 the west, and consumed the store-house
Of Fl. Scuil, esq.,, and occupied, the lower story
by MIR. George Boggr, as drug store, and the
upper by the Masonic Lodge. Here the ravages
Of the fumes were arresred. The cinderx from,
the burning buildings commune ted FIRE II the
s'oretouses If Mr.. Henry Hamilton and OF Mr.:
Fish, but they were fortunately extingnished
without much injury.
We understand that almost everything in the
Hotel was destroyed. DR.. Brewster lost nearly
al, his stock Of drugs and medicines, but was in
sured for 81 500, which, we are pleased 70 learn,
nearly covers his loss. Mr.. Merrill, we regret 70
learn, los, almost every thing he. had IN his store
aud warehouse. The post-office suffered cOnsid-
erably, though we understand all the mails and
records Of the Office were saved. Mr.. Morton and
Mrs. McDermot were fortunate in getting out and
saving most OF the contents Of their houses, an
were the Masons in saving their furniture and re-

learn lost his entire stock Of drugs ard medicines.
The aggregate loss Of all the sufferers BY this
calamity, we understand, is estimated a. from
$50 900 10 ~, 900, and we cannot learn that any
