UpwARps Or FoxrY BCiLpixua DEsrRovED.
Between the hours of two aud three o'clock |
yesterday afternoon the alarm of FIRE was
rung out and soon amer a dense cloud Of
smoke was seen rising from the vicinity Of
Little Market A strong southwest wind
was blowing at the time, and the confagra-
ton spread with lighting rspidity. Tho frs
originated In the large carriage factory Of
Henry Shoemaker, ON the corner Of Scott and
Dauphin streets, having caught from sparks
ascending from fire made to heat wagon
tires In the back yard. The building being
light frame structure, and the material very
combustible, II was soon wrapped In flames,
which communicated To the adjoining build
ings on either side.
The engines arrived on the spot promptly,
but the fire had gained great Roadway and
spread to the square, which, despite the noble
efforts Of the firemen was totally consumed.
The devouring element was carried on the
wings Of the wind TO the Bell Tavern and the
market building both Of which were destroy
ed. 1t then communicated to the old row Of
wooden buildings ON the south aide Of Dau-
phin street. and thence ranged TO the brick
building occupied as drug store on Dau-
phin street, where II was checked In that d.
rection by the massive walls and the efforts
of the fremen. The fire was confined to q
circuit Of three squares around the market
house, chiefly ragingon the triangular square,
between Dauphin and Spring Hill Road
known as the Bell Tavern ssa.te, and the
two squares between Dauphin and Cont
sbove Scott and above Wilkinson street.
The number of buildings destroyed is estl
4 mated at upwards Of forty, and fully one
hundred tenements occupied by families.
Among the heaviest losers we have the
names of Mrs. Burns, L. Conan, Rayfeld 4
Boulton, H. Shoemaker, Philip Sherman
and l.. Joseph.
The liquors in Philip Shermah's saloon
were all carried of by theises, who
dealt them out lavishly to their friends The
Bell Tavern liquors were saved by the exer
ton of friends, and their vigilance In guard
ing them. Messrs. Pierce b Wheeler wer'
fortunate Ia saving all their stock.
Fully one hundred families are thrown on
of house and home. They are composed
chiefly of the class known as Creoles, ant
noted for their industry and good citizen
ship.-Mobiie Register, let.

SrcEsssor IN TESsExsE 1t was the i'm
preston Of the South that It had the right
10 secede Peaceably from the Union; but the
North denied that right, not because they
honestly believed that no such right existed,
but because one portion Of its people dread
ed the loss of so good customer, and the
other was bent upon the abolition of slavery.
These were the feelings which led to the
war, and the question Of right was swallow
ed upby combined interest and fanaticism.-
But the Congress which SO strenuousy de-
MED the right of secession, did not hesitate
to set aside the Constitution and aid the Sc
cessionists of West Virginia in the consum-
nation of their scheme. East Tennessee is
now taking steps to sccede from the great
body Of the State, and we do not doubt that
the same Congress will sanction the lawless
project, and again incur all the odium Of
gross Inconsistency, and Of palpable viola
ton of the Constitution. These objections
will, however, have no weight with the
Brownlow seccssionists, or their kindred
spirits in the Halls of Congress.

MEMPHIS RIor.-peace seems to have been
restored, and, we hope, on permanent ba.
sis. The earliest reports from the excited
city, were exaggerated, SO far, at least, as it
regards the number killed. We have seen
no summing up of the total, but think II safe
to say that twenty-five will cover the deaths
At best the affair is bad enough, and but for
the white miscreants, who miugle with the
negroes and infuse into them hatred of the
whites, 1t might never have occurred. If all
northern agents employed to regulate the do
nestle atiai,s of the South, were ordered
home, there would be no difficulty in adjust
ing the relations between the races ON a
proper basis, and without such scenes of VIC
lence and blood.

commanders are embarrassed by doubts as to
the operation of the proclamation of the
President dated the second day of April,

THE FRANCHISE BILL.-For the purpose of
preserving this infamous document, as well
as to place it in the hands of our readers,
we publish it in to-day's issue. The dirty
little tyrants no doubt, chuckled over it as
"cute" means of enslaving the great body
of the people and perpetuating power in
their own hands. No doubt, too, the dam
phools believe that the right of revolution
belongs exclusively to themselves, and that
their intended victims will not dare 10 strug-
gle for freedom. But the people will show
them ''trick worth two of that" Self
preservation is the oldest law of nature, and
nine-.enths Of people can be held in Do
litical bondage only by their own consent.
This franchise bill is the illegitimate offspring
of fixed bayonets and civil revolution, and
without the aid of the former, the latter will
he overturned and signally crushed by the
irresistible force of public opinion aud pop
ular rights.
