south could not forget this assault; it cannot
forgive this monstrous iniquity 1t is no figure
of speech to say that Van Buren and Arnold
are names synonymous in the hearts Of the
southern people.
"The south knows fun well that the sentiment
of Europe is hostile TO the system of slavery
that all the energies of fanaticism, moral and
religious, are directed against us on. that ac-
count We know that every weapon in the ar
mory OF prejudice, national rivalry and dread
are freely resorted to, TO injure and destroy us.
Misrepresentation, SANDER, fraud, falsehood, are
the familiar means by which we are sought to
be ruined and undone. Romance, poetry, po-
litical and religious literature, is all enlisted in
the crusade against our altars and our homes.
But the south quails not in the apparently un.
equal struggle, feeling that he is doubly armed
who has his quarrel Just. They can disregard
foreign detraction, traducton and assault, but
they cannot forgive their own countrymen
and brethren who add treason and fratricide
to enmity malice, and falsehood.
We know, however, that in the midst OF the
strongholds Of our northern enemies, within the
bailiwick Of the Lucifer of Kinderhook, we have
friends, good, true, faithful, untiring, and cour
ageous allies, whose enemies are our enemies,
whose country is our country, and whose God is
our God-men who have done all, dared all,
and suffered all, for the south, the Constitution,
and the country. Daniel s. Dickinson and his
dauntless party in New York, the south have
been accustomed to look upon as her friends
and the friends of the country; they have been
tried and purified in the fiery furnace, and, like
pure gold, have come out all the purer for the
ordeal; like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abedne-
60, they have come out with their faith and
righteousness vindicated Of Heaven, before
princes and people.
That a feud and warfare should exist between
the Van Buren faction and the Dickinson party,
is to be expected; that the south should side
friends, would be unjust cruel. and most un-
natural. If this quarrel is forced upon the ma
ton, the south will take sides with the friends
of the south, let who will take sides against

IED- life insurance case of some interest was
decided at Springfield, Massachusetts, on the third
instant. In February, 1850, Alanson G. Currier,
late of Palmer, Massachusetts, took out policy
his life for the benefit of his creditors for The
sum of one thousand dollars in the Connecticut
Mutual Life Insurance Company. In August, OF
the same year, he died, and the company refused
TO pay on the ground that Currier had the con-
sumption when the insurance was effected, and
did not disclose the fact as he was bound TO do,
and that he did not disclosethe fact that his father
and brother had had the consumption. The trial
lasted five days, and resulted in verdict in favor
of the insurance company.

Terrible Explosion Five Men Killed Ill

Terrible Expl0sion-Five Men Killed l.
Yesterday morning November 4) one OF the most
fearful and fatal powder-ml explosions that il has
ever been our lot TO record, occurred in Spencer,
IN this county, little before ten o'clock Our re-
porter reached the fearful scene of death before
all the bodies were removed from the wreck OF
timber, &c., which marked the spot where the mill
stood, and was enabled TO CLEAN the following
particulars: The mill was known as the "Corning
Mill, Of Spencer, and was owned by Lewis
Bemis, esq who, at the present time, is at the
west on business connected with another mill
owned by him, which was blown up about two
weeks since. The explosion took place at ten
minutes before ten O'Clock, and was distinctly
heard by US in this city. Five men were in the
mill at the time, and all were instantly hurried
into eternity.
We give list of the killed: Henry Avis, aged
- foreman OF the mill, an Englishman, single
Richard Avis brother of the above, 80 years old,
leit wife and one child; Roberi Perkins, Eng
lishman, single, workman IN the mill; George
swallow, Englishman, aged %, leaving wife !;
John Laughn, lrishinan, aged 70, teamster, left
no family E
As the bodies of the above were removed from
the mill they presented most horrible spectacle.
Two OF the bodies were found in the water under
the mill, aud one was found in potato field, hav-
ing been blown al least fifty rods. Mr.. Laughlin,
Inc teamster, was shockingy mutilated, and could
pc recognized only by portions of his Clothes
wnlch was found on so much OF his body as was
let. One man had his legs entirely blown off, and
Two We're without heads. The bodies were all
nntiated more or less, and the clothes Of all of
them were almost entirely blown off, Coffins were
procured, and the mutlated remains were being
prepared for them as we left the scene.
Al The time of the explosion il Is supposed there
was at least sixty kegs Of powder in the mill This
mn stands on the site of the mill blown up two
years ago, at which time Mr.. Hall and foreigner
were killed
IL will be recolccted that a mill, belonging TO
Mr. Bemis, was blown up in September, but fortu-
nntely no one was killed. Ten men have now lost
their lives in Spencer within eight years by these
explosions. Can there be no remedy?
u ~ singular fact that wagon, in which
horse was harnessed stood near the mill and that
the wagon was blown into atoms, while the horse
escaped with only the loss Of his hair. Boards
and timber from the mill covered the ground in
every direction for the distance of fifty rods.

valuable work, just published by Mr.. Horace

such careful perusal as its evident merit enti-
ties il to, as truthful and ably written descrp-
ton Of the people, the manners and customs,
forms of civil and military government, char
acter of the soil, with its adaptation to various
productions, seaport and inland cities, Of a
very interesting and attractive portion of South
America. But we have read enough to au-

printed and bound volume, q rich and rare in
tellectual treat, to every reader who entertains
proper appreciation Of the vital interests we
connected with the vast border of the Pacific,
especially on the American continent, and quite
enough to warrant an endorsement Of the
opinion entertained of him in and out of the
navy, as one of the most lucid and graphic
writer's in the country, and as gentleman,
whose urbane and gentle manners, and keen
discernment of human character, will make
him esteemed and respected everywhere.
At an early day we shall publish some inter.

with the bay, city, manners and customs of
