The Repeal of the Missouri Compro-

For some years past the repeal oil the Mis-
scarf Compromise has been the staple of near
all the political discussions OF the coun-
try. The press and the politicians h, ave made
the most Of it, and although threadbare and
disgusting, it still affords theme for
comment. Shall we never bear the last of
1t, In the expressive language of the speci-
men books, "Quousque tandem a6uteTe Pote't'a
aostra 81 which very freely translated means,
"How long wilt thou stink in our nostrils y
The Missouri Compromise is dead and buried.
Let its remains have repose-they have been
exhumed and shaken in the faces of the peo-
pie often enough; and we have not seen any
one yet that was frightened from bis poiiti-
cal sins by it. The people of this country
are eminently practical. They regard the
Missouri Compromise repeal as thing Of the
past, an extinct issue. and are not disposed
to trouble themselves about its prOpriety or
improperly now. Whether or not it was the
cause Of the political evils which now afiiict
the country is not a matter of consequence
TO them. They see that evils do exist, and
what they want TO know is how to get rid OF
them. Speak TO the people on this point,
and they will take heed. In The living is
sues of the day. they feel deep and abiding
interest, and are willing to incline an atten-
tive ear to all who approach them. How is
the agitation Of slavery issues to be stopped,
aud the country saved from the misfortune
OF sectional parties, and sectional contest
for the Presidency! These are now the top
les which interest the popular mind and none
are more worthy Of the attention Of the best
minds and the best pens. He who shall point
out the proper course TO be pursued-who
shall lead the people safely through the dit
fcuIties which beset them-wil merit the
highest rewards. How far superior is such
an undertaking to constant, unceasing dis
cussions to show the evils of thing of
the past.

Another fire took place on the 29ih and
consumed portions of three squares in the
Third District, driving some 70 odd families
from their homes. Loss estimated at 500. 600.
On the 3Ist two splendid stores on Poydras
street. valued at SS5 900, were destroyed
And the telegraph informed us yesterday
that another fire had occurred on the Sd
instant. destroying several squares in the
Fourth District, whilst still another was rag
ing in a different quarter. The fire in the
Fourth District consumed large number of
residences occupied by laboring people
The extent OF these destructive fires is at
tributed to the want of water which, in
great measure, rendered the exertons of the
fremcn useless. The losses altogether 10y
fire this fall in New Orleans, amount TO not
less than million of dollars. In view of this
immense loss, not taking into consideration
the consequent human suffering. how impoli-
tic appears the economy which leaves a
great city without an excess OF water to meet
any and every emergency. Let all OF our
cities be warmed by the sad experience o
New Orleans.

Some years ago, celebrated Methodist
minister and reyiyalist, well known for his
eloquence and Zeal in converting souls. was
preaching in Louisville. The feeling had got
pretty well up, and one night. after very
powerful sermon, he came down from the
pulpit for the purpose of receiving the
mourners, while the good old hymn of
q" Canaan, Oh, Canaan, I'm bound for the land of
Canaan"
was struck up, and chimed in by hundreds of
voices. The hymn was concluded. but there
were no penitents at the altar. In vain be
exhorted-his words aud appeals tell upon
the ears of his listeners without exciting any
emotion. At length he concluded To make
bold stroke and follow il up with test, and
resuming the pulpit, after few words of ex-
horsation, he solemnly announced that he
would put question upon which he expected
placed upon their souls. With finger raised
most Significantly, and in most solemn
manner, he announced: "All those in favor
of Christ will please rise In their feet" Only
acme eight or ten responded to the annouueU-
ment; and while the minister was watching
intensely for others to signify their position
by rising, a worthy member who was on bis
feet, interfercd aud suggested that .'the rea-
con might be that the true disciples were too
modest TO vote" At this juncture, loud
voice was heard in the gallery: II say,

A Four Mile Hors e-He Runs

The race oa Saturday at ta4 Cold Sprin.
Course had some interesting points about it.
nifty Miles was 90 run with Little Flea
put the former, we believe, WAS lame. and
failed, to appear, paving her forfeit. Mr.
Blgto%'s ''Buckshot" t)ok her place, and
the Flea being four mile horse, ran away
with the rider when he had dashed the first
heat, Kept on around the track, and would
not stop till ne had gone around four times.
rae rider became so exhausted that be could
hardly ride any logger, and it was feared
that the horse would ruin himself
wen ne was running, some consultation
was mad az to how to stop the Flea Some
proposed tor number of men to form let
ter ''V' aud let the Flea ran into them and
try to stop him that way. Others proposad
turning him of into the field. But both of
these expedients it was feared would enaan.
ger the lie OF the boy, and 80 MIR. McIndse.
tue owner OF the Flea, told tbs crowd to let
us horse run until he tired himself out Aa
humanity assured them that he mad rather
have bis horse killed than have the bow
harmed. he also requested them all &, keen
perfectly still when be came ia at the end of
tue tourth round, and hs was sure that the
horse would then stop, as his four miles,
which 40 was in tas habit of running. wonIi
then be finished
AS predicted, at the end of the fourth heat
the morse stopped, and after such long run
1t seemed cruel to make him run still longer,
