The Baltimore American, remarking upon the
late resnlts in South Carolina. saws

The Baltimore American, remarking upon the
late results in South Carolina, says:
The result of the elections in Georgia, Mississippi
aad Alabama gives a fair assurance that IN the de-
termination of South Carolina not to attempt seces
with her, there is to be found guarantee against the
danger Of any such attempt by her. The Co-olera-
tionlsts have gained victory for the Union.
There Is, however, thing to be especially noted;
and that Is the inf-xible condition upon which the
Union men OF the South stand, requiring the faithful
observance OF the compacs OF the Constitution by the
people o the North. II will not do for the latter to
suppose that the strength OF the Union cherished
by the South gives them any To make assaults
upon it under the persuasion that it will endure every
thing SIT must be base nature, indeed" says the
New York Courier, S'that would fad in Southern ioy-
alty to the Constitution motive to Northern dIsloy-
aty'' We hope that this reflection will be duly CON
sidered and that fatal conclusion on this subject
NAV Cad countenance IN no quarter.
This is all very well, but let US not halloo be-
fore we are out of the woods 1t must be re-
collected that the Co operatoaists avow them
selves to be disunionsts. Until they show that
they are not, we are bound to believe them.

leading Southern Rights" papers of Georgia
thus states the character of the decision winch

BURNING GAS.

The occurrence related in the following article
from the Charleston Courier should put consumers of
gas on their guard against allowing their pipes in any
way, to discharge gas that is not regularly burning
into their Gas is the simplest of all means OF
illumination, in the management, but, if mismanaged
it may become dangerous. Mr., Clay, it will be re-
membered nearly lost his life IN Philadelphia by
thoughtlessly blowing out his light instead of stopping
off the gas. Had candle been carried into his
room while it was filed with gas, an explosion would
probably have occurred.
Gas ETpLOSl0n.-An explosion of Gas took place at
the residences of gentleman of this city few DAYS
since, and, although it attended by any seri-
Gus accident, deem 1t proper notice the crcum-
stance, as II may put our citizens on their guard
against like occurrence, many of whom are novces
IN the use OF this agent, and perhaps as eau
ton to those engaged IN putting up Gas fixtures in our
dwellings 1t appears that the resident of this house
when about leaving tor Europe last summer, had the
chandelier suspended in one of his rooms taken down
and the workmen employed for this purpose unfortu-
natey neglected to properly close the aperture of the
pipe which supplies the chdndeler.Wlth gas, and in
this condition II seems to have been left during the
remainder of the season. On Friday last the gas was
let During the day one of the servants entered
this room, for the purpose OF putting ii in order for
the reception of his master, and finding that it was
strongly mpregnated with the smell of gas and see
ing the opening in the pipe, he thought the
evil by scIewIAg on the chandelier which he did
and towards evening lit several of the burners and
retired
He had Withdrawn but a few minutes from the
room, when three distinct explosions took place in
door, and forced open several of the window shutters

GOV. BROWN ON THE COMPROMISE

The Norfolk Herald of Monday contains letter
Wis, in favor Of the Compromise He SAYS that the
South will adhere to it if the North does and that the
Southern Wings will unite with the Northern Union
Wings In National Convention, to nominate Pres
ident, but with the higher law faction they will not
affiliate, nor submit to further slavery agitation in Con
gress He thinks the Presidential election will test
the pernanency of the Union The failure to elect
President by the people must be avoided. If it should
go to Congress mischief and treason will be plotted by
the Southern Secessionsts and Northern AboItoaists
He prefers National Union Convention, irrespective
ofpary, but it this be effected he goes for
Wing National Convention But the NOMINEES must
explicitly declare his approval and support of the Com
promise measures particularly the Fugitive Slave law,
which must not be repealed modified. Without
this declaration, he would require the Southern dele
gates to withdraw from the Convention.

In aluding to the recent unfortunate personal con-

make Joke out OF such affair, especially as the
Joke is GA the other side. Mr.. Thornton struck Mr..
Clark in the mouth and wounded himself in the

at least equally evident that III conflict with South
