The, I*E*esI«iency ami Disunion. The signs of the times now indicate the election of a Republican President at the next November election. In this event a very large number of the leading Democrats have declared it a sufficient reason for a dissolution of the nion. and also their determination to secede from the Union. Gov. Wise of

Virginia has declared his determination to seize the arsenal at Harper's I

JSsT'Our pro-slavery neighbor of the Review, was very importunate to know whether or not we regarded American slavery as a moral, social and political evil. We replied definitely and demanded the opiuion of the Review on certain "points relative to the same subject, on which he said not a word. IIis silence must b« taken as gis ing sanction to slavery with all its laws, its operations, its evils, its tendencies and it^ influence on both the white and black race. Not only does he sanction the institution, but he is in political connection and sympathy with those who advocate the re-opening of the African t-'avc trade, and who are now directlv engaged in kidnapping and .stealing nean or in he a tive land and selling them into perpetual bondage. He is in political sympathy and connection those who demand a slave code for the territories, and who regard the poor white laborers as the "mud sills of society,'' as unfit to associate with gentlemen, and who should ever be kept in a state of degradation. He is in political sympathy and connection with those who have avowed themselves in favor of disunion and who, even now, are plotting treason against the Government of the United States. He may attempt to persuade himself and others that he is guiltless of these' charges, but men must be judgedby their acts. The tree isknown by its fruits and the legitimate fruits of the politieal principles and polity of the Review, are disunion of these confederated States the spread of slavery with ail its evils: the degradation of the poor white laborer and the re-opening of the African slave trade with all the unutterable horrors pud agonies pertaining to that most horrid traffic.

This, we believe, was arranged by the Delegates from this District, white in attendance at the State Convention, at Indianapolis, on the 22d ult. Who tho Iubky individual, will be, the deponent cannot divine.

Destructive Fire at Danville, Ky. [By permission,

AVC

publish below,

from a private letter, a lengthy and accurate account or description of the destructive fire in Danville, Ky., which occurred on the 22d ult. The letter was written by Judge S. S. Fitv, of that city, to a friend in this place

DANVILLE. Ky., Feb. 24, 1 SCO. .DEAR SIR: Our beautiful and pleasant little town has been recently visited by one of the most destructive fires I have ever heard of. The great fire in New York, some years ago, taking everything into consideration, did not surpass the one which occurred in Danville, on the 22d day of February, 18G0. That fire formed an epoch in the history of New York, this will certain^ form one in the history of Danville, and its terrors can never be eraccd from the memory of those who witnessed it. The youngest child whose capacity was sufficiently developed to know that such a scene was transpiring, and who was permitted to behold it, will bear its impression to his grave though he live to a hundred years,

The town was full of people, assembled to witness the exercises of the Literary Societies in College, and to partake of a sumptuous feast, prepared' by the Ladies of the Methodist church for the benefit of their Parsonage.'

The day was ushered in by an unclouded sun. and everything seemed to indicate a joyous and happy time. The morning exercises of the Societies had passed oft, and the crowd had partaken of the fat things prepared by the Ladies, and all were awaiting with delightful anticipation the further exercises, (literary) and the dainties of the Fair, which were to have come off in the evening, when the scene was suddcnly changed from one Of merriment and gaiety, to one of the most fearful and heart-rending.

About 3 o'clock, P. M., the house of the Rev. Mr. Mathews, a Professor in the College, in the south-west portion of the town, was discovered to be on fire, and the fire being fanned by a very heavy south-west wind, the building was soon enveloped in flames.— The wind carried the sparks directly over the main part of the town and in the course of two hours and a half from the timo Mr. Mathews' house first caught, the two main squares on the north side of Main street were covered with a sheet of fire. Such Avasthe force of the wind, that all efforts to check the devouring element proved fruitless, and the Avork of destruction Avent on until Some fifty or sixty main buildings, including three churches, the Reformer, Episcopal, and Second Presbyterian, and the Court House

ere consumed.

Besides these, there Avere from twenty to thirty back shops, Avare-rooms, and other out-building destroyed. Such was the devastation. that only four or five buildings Avere left standing in those two squares, after the fire had subsided, and tAvo of those, (store rooms) Avere preserved by tin roofs.

The loss sustained by this fire cannot possibly be less than 8300,000, and may go to $500,000, and the amount insured will not exceed, from what I can learn, $30,000.

Not less than two hundred of our citizens have been throAvn out of employment, and many of those have lost every thing they possessed on earth.— I never have Avitnessed such consteraation as that Avhich seized our people.

The fire spread so rapidly that each man Avas compelled to guard his own house from its ravages. It was impossible to concentrate the forces at any given point.

Thousands of dollars worth of drygoods, groceries and furniture, were destroyed in the middle of streets, for want of conveyances to take them off to some safe spot.

This is indeed a severe bloAV, not only to ourtoAvn, but to the Avholc county. A cloud of gloom and sorrow has settled upon our community, which will not be dispelled for years to come. It Avill, no doubt, take ten years to build up the toAvn, and place it Avhere itstood before the conflagration.
