THE GREAT STORM THE tremendous gale
which proved so destructive at Charleston on
the day and night of the 9th was equally Sc
we're at Savannah. The Georgian of the 10th
says,
The hurricane has ceased its ravages and the
waters have subsidized. In the multiplicity Of
duties devolving upon US, we find it impracti-
cable to make up detailed statement Of the
destruction that meets the eye on every hand
in passing through our city. So far as we are
able to learn no lives have been lost, though
many persons we're brought into imminent peril
Our fears for the shipping and for the safety of
human life along the coast are increased rather
than allayed. Hutchinson's Island is again
above water, and to our surprise we see cattle
grazing there as usual. How they could have
escaped drowning is almost miracle
The damage sustained through the city seems
to be general and wide spread Tin roofs have
been stripped from almost every building, pub
lie and private, in an exposed situation. Among
the most prominent which we have noticed is
that of the Exchange, st. Johns church, Cath
olic and Methodist churches, and partial in
jury to the slate roof of the Independent Pres
byterian church.
The loss to private dwellings in damage to
roof, windows, trees, fences, ETC., cannot be de-
tailed. Many of our streets are impossible
from the fallen trees So much injury has been
sustained at the Gas Works as to deprive the
city of gas The several boat yards are heavy
losers Of timber and other building material.
Fig Island lighthouse stands. Stark's Fig
Island mill is unroofed. The wharves Of the
New York and Savannah Steamship Company
and the Iron Steamboat Company have been
inundated to the great damage of goods in the
warehouses thereon, awaiting trans-s shipment
We learn Of some slight disaster to the ship.
ping in the lower harbor, but as yet are with.
out tidings from outside.
When time and opportunity afford, we may
give the names of the sufferers but it is useless
to attempt it now, or to speculate upon the
probable damages sustained. While we would
heartily sympathize with all who may have
suffered, in a moral point of view there is great
reason for thankfulness to the Ruler of thu
storm that SO far as we know, human life ha:
been spared, and the loss and damage to prop
erty is no greater. u..."al

WASHINGTON, D. C.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY I, 1854.

10 As we arc not paid for printing the de-
bates of Congress, it is only occasionally that
we oan indulge in the luxury Of long speech
We published that Of Mr.. Douglas, as it was
but fair that he should be heard through the
same medium in which he had been arraigned.
Wspublish that of Mr.. Chase, as an unanswer-
able argument against the Bill. II fills our
columns to the exclusion of almost everything
else but this is only for q day We shall try
to give more variety to our pages hereafter.
10 If the People Of the United States in
tend to be heard on the subject Of the Repeal
Of the Missouri Compromise, LET THEM SPEAK
NOW. When the Texan Boundary bill went
from the Senate to the Honse the Speaker,
who was an adroit manager, gave the floor to
gentleman committed to tho bill, who con-
tinued to hold the floor, and SO managed as to
shut ont debate and amendments keep the
House out Of Committee Of tho Whole on the
state Of the Union, and finally force vote I'M
der the previous question.
What was done then, what was done in the
case OF Texas annexation, what was done when
war was declared to exist by the act of Mexi-
co, may be done again. The infrmity Of q
Northern majority in Congress, and the help
lessness Of . Northern minority are things
well understood by Shareholders, and the Tao
ticians in alliance with them.
Had it not been for the extraordinary dem.
onrtrations Of public opinion at the North in
I84S, Oregon would not have been organized
with the restrictive provision as to Slavery
Northern mon would have given way; and
Southern men would not have vacillated If
similar demonstrations be made now, the Mis-
souri, Compromise may be sustained in the
House Should the People be slow in their
movements under the impression that no such
miserable Bill can pass they will be disap-
pointed Northern members of Congress-we
speak plainly-are more accustomed to be gov
erned, than to govern. The majority Of them
are trained in Washington to habits Of sub
mission.

commune IN lorce until the pppuihuOn snouiu
increase to 10000 inhabitants and then the
temporary were to be converted into permanent
Governments. Both the temporary and tho
permanent Governments were to be established
upon certain principles expressly set forth in
the Ordinance az their basis. Chief among
those was the important proviso to which
now ask the attention Of the Senate:
nAfter the year 1900 Of the Christian era
there shall be neither Slavery nor involuntary
servitude in any Of the said States otherwise
than in the punishment of crimes whereof the
parties shall have been duly convicted to havo
been personally guilty"
Let IL be noted and remembered that this
proviso applied not only to the territory which
had been ceded already by Virginia and the
other States but to all territory cedcd and to
be ceded. There was not one inch Of territory
within the whole limits Of the Republic which
was not covered by tho claims of one or onother
Of tho States. IL was then the opinion of many
statesmen - MIR. jefferson himself among
them--that the United States, under the Consti-
tuition, were incapable Of acquiring territory
outside Of the original Statee. The Jefferson
proviso, therefore, extended to oil territory
which il was then supposed the United States
could possibly acquire.
Well sir, what was the action upon this pro-
viso Mr.. Spcight, of North Carolina, novel
that il be stricken from the Ordinance; and
the vote stood, for the proviso, six Statcs--New
Hampshire, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island,
Connecticut New York, and Pennsylvania
against tho proviso, three States-Virginia,
Maryland, and South Carolina, Delaware and
Georgia we're not then represented in the Con-
gress, and the vote Of North Carolina, being
divided was not counted; nor was the vote Of
New Jersey counted one delegate only being
present. But the Senate will observe that the
States stood SIX 10 three OF tho twenty-three
delegates present sixteen were for the proviso

springing to her side, and sinking, overpowered,
upon her knees
Mother, oh mother " and Mittie Tell into

That aDas a moment never 10 be forgotten!
Uncle Wythe Harris flor the mistake which
had clouded so many years of the lifetime OF
mother and child was that of Mittie in substi-
tuting-child that she was-the first name OF
her uncle for the last) found q pleasant cottage
on the banks of the Hudson for his sister and
her now happy family. What loving wei
come the dear girls and boys, whom Heaven
had blessed with the power Of seeing their Bis
tor, gave to the wanderer, Mittic! How she
comforted her mothers heart, making her Tor
get her great ereavement--making her even
forget to sorrow that she had q blind child, IN
her joy at feeling that she had another living
darling
The sunshine of Mittie's girlhood came back
to her spirit The dear blind girl was the JOY
Of the house How could anybody cherish a
feeling of discomfort or pecvishDess, when that
glad voice was pouring out it's songs Of thank

THE HOMESTEAD ELL.

few days since, the New York papers con-
tanned photographic dispatches, announcing
that caucus had been held of members Of
the Senate, favorable to the Homestead Bill (;
that they had determined to urge It's passage
and that it would be passed. It is true, such
caucus was held, and such q determination
declared but It does not follow that the bill
will be passed, or oven cordially urged by all
the members OF the caucus. In st. PauPs
day there were those who did only eye-ser-
vice and SO there are in our day. The
Homestead Bill is a popular measure in the
free States, and their Senators would like to
be regarded as favorable to it; but some OF
them, by side votes, and cunning devices to
turn attention to other business, may succeed
in preventing action upon the bill-because it
is not palatable measure to the Southern
members. Ii we are not misinformed, the
votes Of some Of the Senators who had been
on the caucus, we're not on subsequent occa-
sion in the Senate, exactly in harmony with
the determination announced by the telegraph.
For one, we have always doubted whether
the Senate would pass the Homestead Bill, and
we still doubt it, We can calculate on the
strength Of the Southern opposition - we can
not calculate on the strength Of the Northern
support Most earnestly do we hope that this
beneficent bill may pass, but we shall believe
it when we see it, with the signature Of the
President Of tho Senate attached to it.

DEsTRucTIvE FIRE AT PHILADELpHrA-Hilps
extensive cotton and woollen mill, at the corner
of jefferson and Mifllin streets, was entirely
destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. tits said
to have originated from the friction Of the ma
chinery.
There were one hundred and thirty operatives
in the building and the scene presented was
frightful The women and girls screamed fran
tically for help, and commenced jumping from
the windows But for the active efforts of the
firemen, with their hooks and ladders, oil would
have persisted.
The building was occupied by Messrs. River
s. Houghton, Roe & Phillips, and Mr. Holt.
The loss will reach 500, 900. Thos. Hill BROTH
or to the former owner Of the factory, went to
sleep in the building at three o'clock, and has
not been seen since man named Markla
jumped from the third story, and had both legs
broken. A woman jumped from the fourth
story, breaking both her legs. A large number
were severely burned in their hands and faces.
It is reported that fifteen are missing Three
lives are certainly lost--a man and two young
girls.

New HAMpsHIRE.--The Wing State Convcn-
ton assembled at Concord yesterday, and was
fully attended Judge Ira Pcrley presided, and
made a speech strongly condemning the repeal
Of the Missouri Compromise. The Hon. John
Bell, of Exeter, ives nominated for Governor,
receiving 3I6 out Of 329 votes.
THE FUGITvE SLAVE LAw.-Attorney Cen
eral Cushing has given his opinion, in which
he represents that whenever it becomes ncces-
bhry IOr b0e Outhtu Dthtch W O1Ass s's'
zens to his assistance to insure the enforcement
OF the Fugitive Slave Law, they become them
selves officers and agents Of the United States,
and, as such, entitled to be literally compensa.
ted for thoir services by the Governments.
EreAmge.
So, there will hereafter be no moro trouble
on this subject The citizens of Massachusetts
are now and forever standing army, when
ever the Fugitive Slave Law is to be enforced
standing army under liberal pay How sin
eular that no Southern man could conceive the
design Of violating compromises - that no
Southern man could set right estimate upon
Yankee character, and suggest to the Yankees
the right motive to secure their concurrence
and prompt action. Hire them oil as soldiers,
literally compensated, and the thing is done, OF
course Mr.. Cushing appreciates Yankee
character
