The Msi was rather green to burn well, ml very little wind was blowing; yet it wai a grand light. One end of the long string of fire Uy within thirty fret of u far we could not approach it nearer for tho heat and, owy oft for mile in it winding course, retreated this hissing, surg ing wall of fire, licking up everything iu its destructive course. As our imagination carried us back to stories we had read, of herds of buffalo, elk and other wl.l a t! main, and some time human beings, being C.lrary itali.l ee talta. The preaeut seceiwioti movement of South Carolina is nothing short of treason. Nei ther is it a trenaon started by (ho cirruni sttuees of the moment, It if not because Mr. Lineolu bas luru elected, not lccunc some of the extreme Northern States have what is culled personal liberty bills, Unit South Carolina raises the palmetto flag. The titan was thought of years ago. It has be before the drama of secession will cud we know not; tw whnt extent its horrors, ils crimen, its perils or its Irenzied insanity will prvvuil, all is uncertain, painfully so yet we say calmly we have nn un shaken faith in the UNION. It will tint periidi miller the " Hrm and strain" of the flint great storm.

Joe B.. who was on the south side of the fire, had barely time to mount his horse and fly for his life before the devouring element was under full hendwnv. He waa well mount ed, and his horse seemed to fully ttudi stand the necessity of speed. About two miles off was the Tubo creek, in the deep bed of which he knew there was safety but could he reach it? On came the hiss ing flu nn.'S, lirking out their fiery tongues us if they were greedy for their prey. On rmleJoeD . like a thousand fiends. were ufter him. Half a mile was yet to make, and the fire was evidently gaining on him." " Well, wns he saved?" demanded we. "He just had time to throw himself off his horse, and down the bank into the enck, when the fire was hissing over his head, it seemed almost in disappointed rage at his escape. In one moment more the long-forked tongues had stizud upon the dry grass upon the other side of tho creek, and away it went." " Aud his horse?" " As soon as the horse hud borne his master to safety, he turned eht around, made a direct charge through the fire, and came out on the other sale, "In the year 1851, OenernlJohn A.

All these results are proli xin which the future alone can solve." The above was written in 1851, on the heels of the great compromise measures of 1850. Then, it was said: " If, therefnrei the people of South Carolina have made up their minds to withdraw from the Union at nil ttnh,n etc. Long enough beforn the Republican party wns thought of and before any of the personal liberty lnwr were enacted in consequence of the Fugi tive Slave Law. The present secession of South Carolina therefore is nothing less than premeditated treason, and the election of Mr. Lincoln merely a pretext for bringing it to n head. Much has been said about retaining South Carolina by the force of compromises. The whole subject of compromise lies in a nut shell. Sonth Carolina does not ask, will not takr, but scorn, any and all compromises that leave tho Constitution as it is; aud all compromises based on a change or altera tion of the Constitution will only he a rapid and irrevocable dissolution of the Union. The election of Mr. Douglas wauld have been nsed by the disuninnists of South Car olina as they have that of Mr. Lincoln the very men who split the Democratic party in Charleston, would have raised the pal metto flag of disunion over against the stars and stripes at Fort Moultrie had Mr! Douglas been successful in spito of them. In no spirit of defiance do we say it, but for ourselves we know of no compromise that will satisfy South Carolina but a com promise, for the present at least, of d ssolu tion. Other States may follow her example. It is in th plan proposed by Quitman in 1851. South Carolina has done her part to the letter, the rest remains to be seen. The compromise of dissolution the country is not yet ready to make. But what of all thif trouble? What of the gale whistling in iu fury, tossing storm and billow against oar ship of State asail now for more than ...rente years? Will she founder at sea? i of the ms bond w bich binds the Stasia ota Union. possessed temporul power, more or less. But the Italians are a fickle, turbulent people, nnd during theso thousand years, have driven the Pope from his temporal throne, at least o dozen times. During the wars of the Guelphsand the Ghibellines, he had great temporal power one year, and lost it tho next. And in the time of the fourteenth century, for 10 years the Pope lived at Avignon, in France, restored only to Rome, by a cessation of intestine feuds. In recent days, sinco 1798, the Pope has been compelled to quit his do. minions several times. Restored in 1815, he left iu 1848; reinstated in power by Lous Napoleon, he may again be forced to quit by Garibaldi; but while the Everlast ing City exists, soonor or lntor, the 1 ope will return to it, be reinstated with tempo ral power,' to be again nnd again driven out by the turbulence of the people. Whut folly, therefore, it is to talk of "The Down full of the Pope," just as if his present mis fortuue were a new thing. Hear That. The Marysvillo Democrat says: We do not know that we aro terri ble on the advocates of a Pacific Republic. Men lmve a right to project governments on pnper, if they feel like it. All we have I said about it is this, that an attempt to es tablish a Pacific Republic would be trea son to the General Government. We say so, because we think so. Those who de sire to embark in the adventure can take the usual chances of rebels and revolution ists. If they win they are safe. If they fail they must swing. We do not think there is nny occasion for tho establishment of a Pacific Republic, and therefore we are not in favor of rebellion and revolution for that object.' IQ The venerable J. S. Petigm, one of Carolina's noblest names, continues to bear witness to the Uuion, against the traitors who surround him. He has no faith iu the practicability of their measures, and is pre pared for tin .worst of result to the State and the country. Lately, while attending tbo church, where, by his presence he for so many years showed that the character of the statesman was complete only when religion gave it grace and solidity, the ser vices were purged (by nullification) of the nsual prayer for the President of the United I much as the post-office can collect whose customs do not pay the collection of the revenue whose chief griuvutices are that freedom is general and slavery exceptional, and which rebels on account of laws whose repeal they never demanded, nnd the valid ity of whiih could bo declared iu the Su preme Court whoso revolution ia not in favor of freedom, as has always been the case in every other country and nge, but a revolution in favor of extending servitude into territories now free, by modes of leg islation never dreamed of by the founders of the constitution ihcy themselves helped to creute" in short a Stalo which while threatening to destroy the Lnion, begs it to supply its postal expenses, until it is ablo to stand nlouo mid defy the Uui n. " Such a Stato such a people may well incur the ridicule of the European press!" Washington Items. It'is stated that Mr. Murcy'a diary contains a prophetic prediction of Mr. Buchanan's failure to ad minister the government successfully, from his want of directness, fidelity and courage. Among Mr. rolks papers there is even a stronger testimony against him, derived from, association in Ins Cabinet. Gen. Jaekon's last injunction to Mr. Polk, when starting for Washington, was not to take Mr. Ibichunan into bis Cabinet; but lie was surrounded dy politicians anil over ruled after reaching here, much to Ins re gret afterward. Mr. Wades speech made a decided im pression, and was considered on the whole. temperato, but resolute, in tone. At the conclusion Mr. Wigfall complimented him upon his manliness and aincenSy, but snnl no compromise was practicnhln until the Republicans substantially abandoned their free speecli and freo press. At the conclusion of an nrgnmcnt before the Supremo Court, Hon.

Cialdini rushed forward, and Garibaldi, jumping off his, embraced him affectionately. Alter exchanging a few words, 'Garibaldi remonnted to meet tho King. Victor Kmantul was not far be hind, leading on bis own divi.-ion. Slicing tho red shirts, tlio King look a telescope, and, recognizing Garibaldi, put fpnrs to His horse and galloped toward linn, uart baldi did tho saiiio. When they were within len puces of each other, tho oll'iecra of the King nnd of Garibaldi shouted, " Long live A'ictor Kmamiel!" Guribaldi advanced, took off his hat, and in a voico somewhat hoarse from emotion said, " King of Italy." Victor l'-tnanuel put his bund to his kepi, than held it out to Guridaldi, and equally moved, replied, 'Thank you." They stood thus, hand in hand, for nearly a minute, without uttering another word. Garibaldi nnd the King, still holding each other's baud, followed the troops for about ii quarter of an hour. Their suites had mingled logeiher, nnd followed ut a short distance behind thm. II its Majesty was nt the head ol thirty thousand men. lieuire entering Tcramo, King Victor Kinunucl halted and ordered a portion of bis army to file off in tho presence of Garibaldi that every ono might obscrvo tec good feeling which existed between him and the chieftain, Yotwo AiiEntCA.
