Dr. Rtccss Third Letter. i.

Editors r1css and Tribune:
We gain light. as VIC proceed. This is en-
courasing. Three things the gentlemen On the
other side hare inserted concerning john
Brown, viz: that he was 4 Christian !: that his
principles were trno and glorious; md that he
died for those principles, breathing the true
spirit Of Christian martyr. I cheeriuI1y con-
ccde to them all the advantage Of any distinc-
ton, they Gun induce intelligent men to admit,
between these three things and Christian mar
tyrdon.
We arc very ncar]y agreed as to the siugle
ground on which they condemned Brown--ln-
vasipn Of Tirgiuia. I have said TINT ground
was that there was not reasonable frotpecs Of
suect*s. Is this true: Mr.. Wolcott answers:
"lt:is perfectly true in the sense in which Mr.
Patton uecd it."
The only question between us, then. is, In
what sense did Mr.. Patton use the word suet<es
uappily, he himself explained it in his sermon,
and his explanation was given in the extracts
from that sermon, contained in my first reply
to Nr. Wolcott. It is Us follows:
"They (slaves) may resort in body to rero.
lution, if peaceable measures are in vain, and Il
they have any reasonable prospect Of success,
that is, provided they eau net unitcdly with suf-
Gcient intelligence mud courage, mud with adc'
ouaao resources Of attack, defence and snbsis-
tenee."
Precisely in the sense here explained ! have
| understood Mr. Patton; and so far Us have
| mt any construction On his languagc, 1t has
been that which ho himself put upon 1t. 30 IL
turps out, after Mi, that what l hare ea'd' II
"rfrfectly truer -.

moral principles Of these gentlemen agalns

Douglas Rcpudlatcd.

The Rochester Union, prominent Demo-
CRITIC paper, is deeply dissatisfied with Nr.
Douglas for his recent dcsertion of principles,
and remarks:
If Mr. Douglas really did avow his determi-
nation to support the Charleston nomination, no
matter what Kind Of platform may be adopt
ed and at the same time declared that the
slaye-tarrltorial question is simply 4 judicial
question, We fail TO sec why he did not. srse
hope he has been misrepre.ented.
~ The Democracy Of this country arc
not in the habit Of taking their creed ready
made from the Supreme Court. Especially are
hey not in the Eabit of sitting their convic-
tions, and referring to that court in advance for
their political 44principlea." When they arrire
at that point, they will justly become the seorn
and derision Of the world.

Destructive Fire-@30,00O Worth Of
Pork Destroyed.


The alarm Of fire yesterday morning about
10 o'clock was caused By the burning of the
smoke house attached 10 tue pork house Of ].
!. Roc & Co., on Convent, between Third and
Fourth streets. The sruoke house had just been
filled. mostly with clear sides, and fire lit for
smoking in The morning. The heavy weight Of
meat broke the supporters, and the meat fell on
the fire underneath. From its greasy nature it
soon b1azed up. The alarm WIS promptly given,
aud the steam engines soon on'shc ground, other
wise the contlaeraton would hare been large.
Tho smoke house contained at tho time between
e5o;po0 and 800 900 pieces Of meat, mostly sides,
owned in part by Messrs. John J, Roe 4 Co. md
Hening Woodruff, and were valued at nearly
$4,000, which WIS fully covered By insurance
in offices in this city and agencies. The build
ing was owned By S u. EdgcN, and valued at
$3.50, and uninsured. Fortunately the smoke
house was separate from The packing house,
otherwise the destruction Of the entire block
would have been inevitabie. At onr time it was
feared that row Of buildings On Third street,
extending from Convent street up, would be
destroyed, but through the strenuous exertions
Of the fremen tue fire WAS confined to the smoke
house. The tcnements on Third street were
occupied By several families, who lost eonsld-
cradle furniture, ntteuaent on removing. Ihe
following persons doing business IN the rSw bad
their stocks damaged By water: Sshoennaldts
i wilkins, tai'ors, insured; Il. Hlid, paintef,

DR.. Cumming on the IS Signs Of the
Tfme4.s5


Dr.. Cumming has been stating bis opinion at
Leeds respecting the great events which. ac-
cordiug to his Interpretation Of the Book Of
Daniel and the Apocalypse, are looming in the
future, He said the year 11G7 seemed to end
5000 years Of the worlds history, md from the
carlest periods onward it bad been the almost
universal belief that tue six days Of creation
were typical Of those G,0o0 years, and That the
se7snth day Of creation, or the Sabbath, was
typical Of The millennial rest Of 1000 years.
But they would say that, supposiog this were
SO. they we're at this moment over l4o yea1s
short Of the 5000 years. 1t was remarkable
fact, however, that the abiest chrouologis:s, ir-
respective Of all prophetic theories. had shown
t!,at mistake Of upwards Of loo years had
been made in calculating the chronology Of the
world. and that the year 1860 Of the Christian
era began not from the year 490i Of the world 3
history, but in the year Ass. and that the year
Of Christ's birth was tiyc years before that, or
in +13a If his premises were just, then they
were ut that moment within seyen yea1s Of the
exhaustion Of tue 6,000 years; so that If 1sj7
was to be the termination of this economy, they
had arr1red ut the Saturday evening the
worlds long and dreory week. If this were 50,
it was magnificent thought that there were
some in that assembly who would never die.
They were just p1uugiog into days such as they
had neyer seen; IN European war was loom
ing; more dreadful than that through which
thcT had recently passed, and when these
things happened it would be seen that the senti
meuts he had uttered were not the dreams o1
fanaticism, hut Of soberness and truth.
