Dissolution OF THE UNION.

For some months past threats and prophecies Oh
dissolution of the Union have been frequently made
ay certain Southern members Of Congress. one
Qentlemau declared few weeks ago that uniess
something was done the Union would be dissoiVeo
within ten DAYS, and another announced about she
same time that dissolution had already taken piace
ST the danger is as imminent as these champions
would have the country believe, the people are as
tOnishiugy ignorant or most stupidity indifferent
We are told day after day that en- event is ABOUT 10
isnspre the proclamation Of which will thrill 'hro'
America like the sound Of the Archangel's eram-
pet announcing the end of 9ime-an event second
only in importance to the citizens of the United
States TO the fnal destruction Of the universe Yet
each nan, in this region Of country at least, is su-
city pursuing his ordinary svocation, tilling his
fields. following his profession or trade buying, sell
ling and getting gain, without the least apprehen-
sion, apparently, of impending evil.
The fact is the people of the South have no idea
Of following few wild politicians in their mad
schemes, and without their concurrence, this great
disaster canno: BE- realized They have, to be sure,
felt aggrieved 1.-THE coursepursued by The North and
are apprehensive Of the evidently progressive ten
deRcies Of Northern Abolitonism, bat they are not
going to commit national suicide in anticipation Of
wrongs which may be inflicted. One Of the reso-
buttons recently adopted by the citizens of BalmOre'
expresses the sentiment Of the large majority in the
Slavehoding States, as yet we suffer no evils ",hat
would justify dsunon and none that dsunion would
make better" When some aggressive measure is
passed by Congress, they will look TO the Conslu-
ton for redress-when that fails to protect, and not
ill then. will they seek other remedies. "Suffi-
sieni unto the day is the evil thereof"

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD ENTERPRISE oUTDoNE.
The London Times reviews the prospects Of a
scheme for constructing Railroad connecting the
two stations Calais France, to Mooltan in India.
The times says:
sin point of fact, the distance between England
and India is Of a very fabulous and artificial charac-
ter 1t used to he called 10000, $4,000, or even
$4,000 miles. The time consumed in traversing
il has been varied from nine months tothree. Al the
present time The journey from Bombay to SouthamP-
ion is usually performed in IS to 40days, and there
seems 10 be abundance Of om for still turhe: shor-
Ienng the transit For, after all, when we look at
the plain facts Of the case, India is only some few
hundred miles further frum US than the United
States, though we have come To consider the latter
country as lying al doors, while we still regard
the former as one of the utmost parts of The earth.
From Spthead TO New York it is 1890 miles; from
Oslend 10 Hyderabad, IN the Indus. it is only 1905.
The estimated cost Of this enterprise is put down at
-f34 050.000! The terminus Of The railway is to
be in Beloehistan--a country. the Times tells its
readers, (which is bounded on the north by Afgan-
isian, on the west and east by Persia and Scnde,
and on The south by the Arabian Sea, and lenanted
by an indefnable race, living under no describable

Letters, says the Washington correspondent Of
the New York Courier have been received explain
ing thecircumstancesate The castigation which
Mr.. Potter the u. Consul al Valparaiso. inflicted
upon Mr.. Sullivan, the British Charge d'.afnrs Ia
Chill. II appears that the latter carried his inso-
ence and brutality far as TO invade the sancily OF
Mrs. Poiter's private apartments and exPel her BY
fgce. When the facts were communicated 10 Mr..
Potter lie Immediately determined to punish the Of
fender in manner that would be useful and nstruc-
tive With this intention, he provided himself
with a cane, and met Sullivan who is a much la:-
ger person, and was also armed with stick. in the
hall where The scene occurred. After the Hogging
was satisfactorily administered, Mr.. Potter was a.
bout Withdrawing, when Mr.. Sullivan let three
French servants upon him to take vengeance. AT
this moment, Mr.. Potter drew revolver, with an
admontion that the first who approached wonld re-
ceve port ion of its contents, and they reiterated
like prudent mer. Onlhe next day, British man
of war arrived at Caao, seven miles distant from
Lima. and in two hours afterwards the resignation
of Sullivan as Charge d.9Gars, was communicated
to the Admiral on board. II is not known whether
the British officer required this Concession to pro.
tee. the honor of his flag. which had been outraged
by the conduct Of one who was so much obliged TO
protect it, or whether Sullivan realizing his own
degradation, found it convenient TO retire, without
irhcling additional disgrace on his government.

Mn. CALHouS's SrEEcH.-The Washington
Republic in speaking Of Mr. Calhoun's speech says;
s'Wo consider the speech of Mr.. Calhoun man.
ifesto Of disunion by prescribing impractcabls and
impossible conditions for the salvation Of the Union.
II takes the ground, substantially. that. il Cafors
MIA is admitted into the Union, it will present
case Of resistance. This is the only tangible and
practical proposition in The whole speech.
'Whatever doubt may have hitherto been-enterr.
tanned upon the question, can read this speech
without coming to the conclusion that Mr. Calhoun
has wrought himself into the conviction that ths
dissolution Of The Union is the only remedy for ex'
listing evils. That it will separate him from thou
sands of well-intentioned and patriotic citizens, both
al The north and the soulh who have hitherto look
ed up 10 him as safe political guide and adviser,
we cannot doubt. II is fortunate for the country
that Mr.. Calhoun has thus unmasked his motives
and obJocs for. as prolessed disunionsls, he will
be henceorh shorn Of his powers and opportunities
of mischief" ulst
