The Union Dissolved.
By dispatch published in another por
ton OF this issue it will he seen that the
South Carolina Convention has passed
the Secession Ordinance-that she ha,
declared herself ont of the Union in
spite OF tn Union, in spite Of each, every
and all obstacles, whatsoever. Ibe first
blow is struck the union Of these noble
States is severed the beginning is be-
fore us. God, in his omniscience, only
knows where the trouble will end
whether it lie in tie complete rending
IN snnder of all those ties which bind us
tooetber as a nation-whether it shall
he in civil war, bloodshed and all the
horrors OF the battle field or whether
the olive branch Of peace will be still
recognized, no one can tell-no one
dare prophecy.
The Union is dissolved. Wo, wo,
be unto the accursed hand which has
caused it; wo unto the perpetrators OF
this deed Of niamy. The priceless gem
for which our fathers fought is fast losing
its lustre-the noble land for which
they laid down their lives and shed their
blood as water, has already been divided
M into factions factions bereit OF any
and all unity Of feeling, spurnlng all
concert of action-drifting on towards
destruction.
The death knell Of the greatest Re-
public, the noblcst nation on the face OF
the earth has been sounded, and in a
few DAYS we may expect to see the
skies grow still darker and the storm
still more threatening. The initiative OF
South Carolina will be followed by
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana. Texas, and finally by the
border Slave States until the separation
of the Union shall be complete. But
will it be peaccable' No, there is no
such thing as peace where such con
ilct Of feeling, Of interest, Of opinion
arises. 1t has been proven that men
will fight sooner, longer and more per
sistcntly about mere abstraction than
fora real principle or the violation OF
one hence we have nothing to expect
but persistent and bloody war
between the different sections Of the
country

FooD FOR ABoLIrroNIsrs- BLUE
CoCKADE Worn BY NEGRoHs.-The
negroes OF A. S. Coleman, Esq, Of this
place, created quite sensation in town
yesterday by appearing on the streets
with blue cockades on their hats. We
learn from MIR. Coleman that they re-
quested the privilege of wearing them,
as they said. to show their contempt for
the Abolltionists, and their love for the
South. We have no idea that one-half
OF the laboring classes Of The North are
either as we'll fed, as we'll clothed or as
well satisfied as Mr.. Coleman's negroes;
and the Abolitiouists, when they come
to make war upon the white men of the
South will find that the. first blood-shed
will be that Of the ever.faithful negro,

SMALL srAIURE But LARGE FAITH
Last winter small boy Of six or seven
years, legged a lady to allow him to
clean away the snow from her steps.
he had no father OF mother, but worked
his way by such jobs. On being qucs-
toned, he confessed that he often got
little TO do, and the lady further asked
hun if he did not fear he could not oct
on. The child looked up with per-
picked and iuqulriug eve, AS if uncertain

Our Memphis exchanges bring US full
particulars of the great fire which &C.
Cured in that city on the 14th inst, by
which the Overton Block of stores vas
completely destroyed, involving total
loss of between $4,000 and $l75 900,
upon which there was an insurance to
the amount of $4,000. Of the orig n
of the fire the argus says:
About twelve O'Clock yesterday fire
was discovered issuing from the roof of
one Of the stories in the OyertOn block,
extending from Monroe street to the al
ley on the north. The alarm was given
| and soon the firemen were on the
ground, but owing to the want Of lad
ders, and the peculiar construction Of
| the building (the dividing walls reaching
only to the cornice, leaving space I'M
| derneath the roof the whole extent of
the block, but littlo progress was made.
Indeed, it was easily to be seen that
with the cold weather, the deficient wa
ter and other drawbacks, it would be a
miracle If the block was not destroyed.
Still, the firemen worked hard if not eff
GENTLY, and ceased not their labors until
the surrounding buildings were out Of
danger.
The fire is supposed to have caught
from chimney in the tenement occu-
pied by J. I. Begble, and rapidly spread
under the roof through the whole
block, involving all in a common ruin.
The individual losses were as follows :
Begbie, ssddler and harness maker, loss
in the neghborhood OF 500, 900, insur-
ance $4,000 J. c. Ward, bookbinder,
loss not known, insurance $1,000 Ma
sonic Lodge loss about 81 800, insur-
anco 81, 900 Order Of Druids, loss not
stated Wise d Co., carriage manufac-
turers, loss large, insurance, $1,000 /;
John Sewer, grocer and commission
merchant, loss large, insurance 5000 ;
+. Stilman ~ Co., clothiers, loss heavy,
insurance $500; E. +. Risk, tin and
sheet-lron manufacturer, loss Sl3, O0O,in-
surance $4,000 5; Norvell, Boone 4 Co.,
grocers and commission merchants, loss
large, insurance IS 900; Miller Il Pimm,
painters, loss $4,000, no insurance ;
Camp IL Co., furniture dealers, loss very
large, insurance $4,000. In addition
to these there were other sufferers to
smaller extents. The Overton block was
owned by John Overton, Esq, after
whom it was called it was estimated to
be worth s75, 900, and was insured for
$4,000.
