GEN. DOCKERY AND HIS NEIGH BORIS.
"A rough, unpolisbed neighborhood- people
to be sure-but not such as would like TO have my
family associate with.''
The above, Mr.. Editor, is language which has been
said, he used on the following occasion:
While the General was member of Congress, a
couple of his constituents of the highest respectable
ty, called upon him 10 Washington City one of them
from the Eastern and the other from the Western
part of his District. After the usual interchange of
civilities, the General enquired to the news in
Richmond and being informed that there MOTH
ing in particular. but that certain Docto! C.. was
about to into the Generals neghborhood, he
(Gen. Dockery) then remarked that he was glad to
hear it; that his neighbors were rough, unposhed
peophgood people to be sure-but not such ,oould
like to haze MY family associate auith."
Now, Sir, as one Of Gen. Dockery's former con-
stuents should like to be informed whether this
charge is true; for if it be, who knows but what a
second election to Congress may So far turn the poor
Generals head as to cause him to indulge in 1outs
and in insulting taunts at the ignorance and unpolish-
ed roughness of his entire constituency. Yes, he
may exclaim in regard them, as he is accused of
saying (and believe he did say) of his neghbor-
hood g. They are rough, unpublished constituent
cy-good people to be sure-but not such as would
like to have my family associate with.''
We wish to give the General the opportunity of
mailing to the counter this report if untrue, and now
call his attention to the 4" rumor," for which do
not vouch, but which at the time believe to
be true. If it IS untrue, let the General in his public
Speeches brand the author s" liar" in his usual
polite language, and it may be that the charge will
be proved upon him. CROSS CREEK.

GREAT FIRE IN SAN FRANCISCO!

NEW ORLEANS, June l6. The steamship Alaba;
ma has just arrived with two weeks later news from
California. She came by the way Of Acapulco. Hef
news is of great importance.
A terrible fire had occurred in San francisco, lay:
ing in ashes properly the amount of Fifteen mil
lions ef dollars. Among the buildings destroyed are
the custoa,-house, the Union Parkers; the National;
New World, City. Delmonico's and the Exchange
Hotels also Ross's building and the Offices Of the
steamship company.
The fire spread to the shipping, CONSUMING large
number of vessels which lying::at the whafves:
1t was first discovered in Clay and ran through
one dozen blocks, quickly spreading to other parts
of the city, greater part of which lies in heap Of
ruins. Hunter, George, Main. Centre, and Ell Do
RADIO streets are completely gutted.
The utmost CONSERVATION prevailed during the FIRE,
and thousands were turned out of house and home;
having lost their all. Measures were about being
adopted relieve the distress of the sufferers. 1t i'd
feared number of lives have been lost Business
was entirely lost sight of.
San Francisco presents sorrowing and heart-sck:
ening picture.
The news from the mines continues to be of cheer:
ing character.
New discoveries were daily being made, and the
prospects of the miners were highly favorable. The
quartz-crushing machines were reaping rich teward:
In some instances the avetage per man was from $50
to $50 per day.
Lynch Law is still in the ascendant, and several
new examples have been made.

1t is gratifying to observe that in Mississippi, the
name, even, of Disunionist has become unpopular
that none but the most daring avow it. The hand
bill announcing that Senator Jefferson Davis would
speak in Columbus, was headed, "A Rally for the
Union.'' Richmond Enquirer.
We know of no public man, out Of South Caroli-
ma, who is for dissolution of the Union as matter
of choice. The people of this State, we know, are
for the Union but not at all hazards and to the last
extremity" They are for Constitutional Union !;
but they would regard the Union ,Uiout the Consti-
ton or with the Constitution disregarded and viola
ted, as curse instead of blessing.
In our judgment, the real Disunionists are the
Abolonists and Freesoilers of the free States, and
those, who, in the South. apologize for aggressions
and endeavor to lull people into false security.
Both Davis and Quitman are better and sounder
Union men to-day, than Foote and the motley crowd
of tmid Democrats and old Consoidatonists who are
supporting him. Senator Davis, as friend of the
Constitution and Of the severe igny of the States,
has right to ''rally fot the Union" He will save
that; if possible and If not he will protect the hon
or and vital interests of Mississippi at all hazards.

est:
"The newspaper is the chronicle of civilization,
the common reservoir into which every stream pours

watchman, which reports to you every danger.wh

Legislators of the public opinion, and informs the

that constant sympathy and good understanding be-
tween the people and the Legislators which conduces
to the maintenance of order, and prevents the
necessity of revolution. The newspaper is law
