Gen. Pillow for the Union.

In May, 1860, Gen. Pillow wrote long
letter upon the political questions of the
day; and in this letter anticipating trail
torous attempt to overthrow by force Of
arms the Union of the States, he dissected
with mastery skill the inexcusable folly
and the atrocious wickedness Of the
scheme. Referring to this letter to the
pending Presidential contest with the Re-
publican party, and to what he conceived
to be their aggressions upon the rights
and interests of the South, Gen. Pillow
said:
" But am opposed to disunien as .
remedy. Whether in the Union or out Of
it, we must meet the same foe. We can
not escape FROM the danger by. flying from
the Union.
" If we stay in the Union, the Northern
Democracy, and all conservative patriots.
will be our friends and allies, and if the
conflict comes, will aid US with such help
tkat We can crush Republicanism. If we

DGr DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY b

~ DESTRUCTION OF Property BY
PRAIRIE Passive hear of great des-
traction of property by the ravages of
prairie fires as is usual every fall. 1t wo'd
seem as if experience, if nothing else
ought to teach our people the necessity Of
. little more care in protecting against
them. 1t has always seemed to US an in
excusable neglect in our farmers in per.
uniting the hard earnings of whole sum-
ner's labor to be destroyed in few hours
when little care, taken in season, would
avoid all danger. The great majority OF
these prairie fires occur in the first in
stance through carelesSness, ne doubt,
but that is no excuse for neg lect in pro-
seoting property against them. In new
country like this, where mater; 81 for build
ing barns and out houses fer the protec'
ton of crops is scarce azd high, the lar
mers are more or less compelled to leave
their crops. in some measure, exposed to
the revages of the elemen.4, but this sho d
rather operate in favor OF the exercise Of
additional care and protection. We have
repeatedly, year after year, sas the time
for praisie fires was approaching, urged
upon our farming community the necessi'
'ty Of blowing and burning around their
fields and buildings in time to protect
them from destruction, BIZ. it would seem
that our advice has been unilormaIly dis
regarded and the result is suffering and
distress in ny.nstances. A single days
time is usually, sufficient to protec: and
preserve the fruits of whole summers
labor, and the neglect to see to it in time
appears to US to be negcusabe and they
certainly can have no one to blame but
themselves We again urge upon our far.
