CAN'T STAND TuEM.-The Editor of the Hlianian
printed at Princeton, Indania who has been a zeal
GUS black Republican, has suddenly been converted
from the error of his way and has joined the Demo-
cracy. He says:
Recent events well known to newspaper read
erS have shown clearly that the most ultra views
are to rule the republican party, that sectional
man is bound to be the presidential candidate in ls6u
We acted with the republican party because we
supposed it was about to cut loose from the abol-
ton party and take conservative national grounds
Since it has failed to thus act, VIC cannot act with it.
The democratic party still continues to take high
national grounds we have alternative bat to act
with the democratic party
The Democratic party is the same national party
in Indiana that it is in North-Carolina, and those
who would save the Constitution and the Union
flock into it there they do here In all sections
and all localities from Maine to California, it is the
great enemy of the sectional or black Republican
party.

A MEmrED CoMpLIMENr.-Thc following merited
compliment to the Hon. Warren Winslow, of this
State, we find in the Washington Correspondence of
the Ohio Statesman No member has been more
indcfatigabe in his excrtonS than Gov. Winslow to
effect an organization of the House adversely to the
abolitlOnSts:
"The best manager on the Democratic side Of the
House in all these complications, is Governor War
rcn Winslow, of North Carolina. He has been here
two terms; is an accomplished schollr and parla-
mentarian; is an old legislator in his own Stat; ;
and has tact which, while it will not make person
al enemies even of political opponents, can control
his own friends and bring about results. If any one
could have poted our party into successful issue
on the Speaker, that man is Gov. Winslow. His
efforts have been unceasing; his suavity undimin-
ished his position as the head of the Democratic
committee has been used to its full extent; but as
yet all is of no avail"

Fall of Houses in Nemphis 7enn.-Loss OF Liyie.
Has it not been frequently noticed that when one
great catastrophe takes place, others on a smaller
scale are sure to follow? Scarcely has the horror
excited by the appalling casualty at Lawrence,
Massachusetts, been camcd, before the Memphis
journals reach u.s. conveying the intelligence of fresh
and similar disasters. From the Argus of Friday
evening last, we clip the following:
About seven o'clock this morning portion of
the extensive slave mart of Mcssrs. Forrest Jones
l. Co., on Adams street, fell with a terrible crash
Six negro men, who in the building at the time
of tbs occurrence, were buried beneath the huge
pile of rubbish. In few moments sixty or seventy
persons commenced removing the dead and wound
cd from the shapeless pile and by eleven clock the
work was accomplished 1t was at first thought that
fourteen fifteen negroes had been caught by the
falling building but subsequent examination
showed that but six were missing. Two of these
were taken out dead, and horribly mangled and the
other four very badly wounded One or two of the
latter, it is thought, have received injuries which
will prove fatal
None of the negroes killed and wounded, we learn
belonged to the propretors, but were there on sale
and owned by some residents.
The fallen building is of brick, and was erected
during the past summer The heavy rains with
which this vicinity have been visited the past few
days, had proved too much for that portion of the
building and were undoubtedly the of the ac-
cident, as there has been no violent wind Storm
The loss to the building will not exceed $3,OOO
Scarcely an hour had elapsed when the new print
ing establishment of the appeal fell in, as will be
seen by the following clipped from the same paper:
The new printing establishment IF the Appeal,
the of Union street and Center alley yield
cd TO the effects of the wet weather, and the walls
fell in about eight o'clock this morning. The build
ing was nearly ready for occupancy, and already
had the new press and engine been erected. By
the falling of the walls, the engine press and boilers
were injured to considerable extent. The build
ing was worth about three thousand dollars, and is
total loss. The entire loss to the proprietors will
not fall far short of five thousand dollars
Two workmen were in the building at the time of
the accident but fortunately escaped with no other
injuries than a few slight bruises"

under the superintendent of Col. Iujer, by order
of Secretary Of War, Sawyer's gun proved most ac-
curate; DR.. Reeds gun, ten-inch Columbia, fred
100 pound shot three and half miles--with aston
ishng accuracy for that distance Gen. Wheats gun,
breechloader, termed an "accecrator," was fired
fourteen times with effect but exploded before cx-
perlments were over. The Parrot gun, whose plan
of rifing has been recommended for use, was not
experimental with. There was sufficient evidence
to prove the superiority of ried ordnance over the
old sIcooth-bored gun, and were recommended to be
used by the government for future service.

startled our citizens from their first soft Slumbers
about II o'clock last Thursday night. The fire was
found to be in the blacksmith shop Of Mr. Holloman,
again for we believe this is the third time his
shop has been burned within few years past.
The house was torn down, rather tlan burned
down,-it beiEg light frame building. The fire
companies were promptly on the spot, and acted
well not only preventing the further spread of the
flames, but extingushing the fallen ruins of the
shop itself We have not learned the orig gin Of the
fire but it was no doubt accidental. The loss is
not very heavy, We presume.
