DESTRUCTIVE FrRR.-1

Destructive FIRR.-The large building of the
South Nashville Furniture Manufacturing Compa-
ny, together with adjoining buildings belonging to
the same, were completely destroyed by fire yester-
day evening, between three and four o'clock The
fire originated in the roofing establishment of Mr..
AATHURsT which joined the premises. From thence
1t spread to the main buillingo of the Factory and
canght among some dry lumber and tar barrels,
which soon communicated the flames through the
entire binding, and in a few moments it was in
Tuins. There being no water contiguous and the
Ne being so far from the main part of the city it
was impossible for the firemen to do much towards
saving the building the large amount Of stock on
hand, such ready made furniture, lumber, tools,
&c, employed in the manufacture Of the raw
terial. They succeeded, however, in staying the
destroying element, and prevented its spreading to
the neighboring buildings and residences. We
learn that there was no insurance on any of the
property, and that the loss is estimated at between
seventy-fiye and hundred thousand dollars This
loss viii fan heavily on the stockholders; the stock
was mostly made up in small sums by poor men,
and they will feel it sorely The most distressing
part Of the calamity is the fact that it throws be-
tween seveaty-five and hundred operatives out of
work. This, too at time when provisions and
otter necessaEies are comparatively high. Wehope
S5ne measures VIII be taken by our citizens to rem
der them relief The loss is public one, and
should be repaired if possible by individual effort
and if this fails the city treasury should be drawn
on. We believe the City Council would be sus-
isined by the public if an appropriation wss made.
We were glad to see that the house of Mrs.
WHITE was saved, through the nntiring exertions
Q. our gallant fremen. The weather was warm,
oPpressingy so, bat they labored heroieally. Sew
ersl acts of bravery were displayed on the occasion
deserving Of mention; aud we would particularize,
but we might be thought inyidious. We cannot,
however, iorbear mentioning the unsel6sh exer-
tons Of two little girls. They carried buckets of
water until they were nearly exhausted. We did
not learn their names or we would publish them.

this is the first effort of the kind in Nashville we
hope Our citizens will turn ont, not only for the
purpose had in view, but for the additional purpose
of encouraging the managers and pupils of school

it is under its present management, the pride and

TUCKT GorSu The RouSDs The Wing papers 10
this State and all over the South are making much
ado over i letter from the Rev. Dr. Robert Bfeck-

ito quote the language of the Richmond Enquirer, }
.'Dr Breckenridge hates slavery, and approves any
movement teal promises to exGrpate the evil"
He Is an old and inveterste Wig; was candidate
for the last Reform Convention 10 Kentucky; took
ground IN he cqtpqss in fauor Of enancpqting the
sllCsg, and ,oas badly beaten upon the ISSUE. Now
ne is Hao,U- Nothing. There is consistency in
his conduct He has only chsuged the mode of
his warfare against slavery, He is fighting now
with more effective wespon.'
The lamen;ed J. L. Waller of the Baptist de-
R,niuation was elected 10 the Convention on OPP
posite grounds, and in all debates with the eman-
patton followers OF Breckenridge, put them COM
petcly to NissisSippian.
