The wind was blowing ligrhtlf from the' South-Vest, and the flames were blown across the street, until they lapped and kissed the almost entire $outh-side of the building, burning the wlhdow frames and shutters, and some of * the floors on the basement : but there were strong stout hearts within the inclosure, that seemed to say, so fair shalt thou go and no tarthet. Those attached to the estab. lishment, with the aid Of some of our citi zens, were manfully at work inside, in carrying water, and using it judiciously, while a force from the Rail Road, under thedirection of Messrs.

There was a small briok building to the East of the above block, attached to the stord'faeing on Ilayne street, in the occu of Messrs. Courtney & Tennent, which was destroyed. It was owned by F. D. Fanning, and we believe is incorporated in the amount of his insurance previously noticed. The further progress of the fire on this line was here arrested. The Market Flail at one time was in imminent danger, but happily it did not take fire. From the Charleston Mercury. Tihc South and the North. Why is the South assailed in this Un ion ? On what pretences do they justify themselves, who insist that the Federal Goveinment shall take a position of hostil ity to the slaveho!ding states t shall make it a matter of triumph to cheat and defraud them to insult their feelings, to weaken their power, and deprive them of all reli aice on its justice and its protection I When the Union was formed it consist ed on.y of tIhe states on the Atlantic hor der-a feeble part of that grand dominion which now stretches from ocean to ocean, and holds in its hand the destinies of a new world. But there was even then a vast territory belonging to Virginia, the Caro. linas, and Georgia. It was given by theta to the Union, and one half of it allowed to be appropriated to the North. Louisiana was subsequently .acquired; it was slave territory, the whole of it. The south yield. ed up so disproportionate a part to the North, that even the subsequent annexation of Texas, giving her all the extent she claims, was very far from eq ualising the acquisition of the two sections. Thus far, all the increase of the domain of the confed eracy, had been by the acquisitons of slave territory and the gift of southern states. And yet, at the end, the North is found in possession of iminense!y the largest share. The south hal surrendered her advantages had given up her superiority of possession, and ftr the sake of harmony, had beggared herself to enrich the rival section. She expected, doubtless, that this generous self-sacrifice would be greatly reneinter. ed, and that she would be repiad in lovi for the free bestowal of an empire. King Lear had the sanme visions, and woke from theta to the samte reality, to find that these t4 whoml he had given all, returned his bene. fits with hatred. persecut.o:i and outlawrv. It is not, then, because the sout his heretofore been greedy of more than her share, that she is now required to relin quish to the North the whole of the latest acquisition of the confeleracy. Is therc anything in the circumstances of thait ac quisition, that gives color of fairness to the attempt to deprive her of all participation in it I The territory was the prize of war -the reward of laborious *ampaigns and many bloody battles. For this war, the southern states contributed not, only more men in proportion to their population, but absolutely more men, than the Northern. And that state wh lich noni nda pie-emie nent in the viulence with which she de-a mnands that, all the acquisitions of the war. shall lie::poropriated to the North, refused by her public authirities, to enicourage te raising of a single regimi:'t. within lher borders, and when it was raised, refused to appropriate ai dollar for the subsistece and cominfort of the solie rs on their irarch, to join the armies of their countrv. SuchI is the title of Al asachiusetts to thle hion'% share in the ntew territories. It is the~ a - the, not, of the soldier who faces dhang.er and~ deathI for the glory ot his thgy~, but oif the vulture wvho hovers mn the rear of bat. tle and fattens ott its blood. llut the whle Free Soil pairty of the North, which iion claim as their own the rewards of all our Mexican achievemnents, acted the samie patlriotic part during the wvar; anid a con ,spicuouis leader of their traitorous fationi' -the senlate; spoike thle splirit of thle whole, wnien hec invoked for our horroie soldiers m, Mexico a welcome from their ni'uiiio "with bloody hand- to haospitable graves."' But there is another view of this matte r. The war involved the country in a heav v debt-at least sixty millions of d! a rs. Fifteen million more were st ipublitedv to ho ptaidI to Mexico in the treaty of pe-ice. The revenues of the Unait ed Statis are dil rived abhinost wholly fromi taxes oin einm mnerce. Of this comnmerce the sou:hI funi. nishecs one haundured miiIlions, to fornvtyime lions fromli thle North.

It is idle, and wor'e than idle, it is dishoniest, to call this ina questioni. So far are the' No rthlerin statecs fruain feeling thle burdlen- of FedaeralI taxxa . tain, as the si mthI feels theim, that a iiaor ity of those states have always c haimned tbhat they were po(sit ivey benetac-itteil anmd enriched by Federa iiaxaion miioaad it has beena with the extreinest ditlicut hat thile. a rate of taixat iotn so high as to m brenten iii existence of thle corn nroe t hit thbus sup ported thle Governaient.

Such i' human existence It is as a shadow that fleeth and continu~t luot! : My friend and-colleagpe, the late FRAl LIN HARPER ELMORE,:brdihtheI d last at his lodgings in this city, last night at hIf past S o'clock; For -sovia--pt'tiid state of his,health has been a source of so licitnde and anxiety to his. friends. Hi,1 ittind had boon tasked by many cares and responsibilities, and it-was thought that even a change of excitomont and employmen, would afford him sonie relief. It was with reluctance that he accepted the distinguish compliment implied in the appointment that was tendered hit by the Governor of South t Carolina to fill for a time the vacancy in the i Sonate occasioned by the death of Ins illus. trious predecessor. Ie took his seat in this I body on the 6th of this month, and for I week or ten days tho hearts of his family \vero gladdened by the prospects and hopes of returning health. '1 hese delusive hopes t were excited only to Make the disappoint- I ment the more poignant and nfllictive. A net t form of disease-a neuralgia that pervaded the whole system-was as the hand of*dcath I upon him. Iis sufferings were very great I and from the time of his attack wore ince t sant. It was a source of consolation t1 at r ho retained his mind until the actual invasicn of death. Iis physicians, distinguished for their skill and knowledge, gave his case un :-ommon attention, and did nil in their power to afford him relief. It was his happiness to have with him a being-the nearest to hi:n all the ties of this earth, the partner of s abosom and the mother of his children devoted wife, who poured ont upon him all t That an aflietiointo heart could bestow. Piwse were alleviations and sources of so ace in an hour of awful trial; but they could riot arrest the demands of the inexorable messenger. In witnessing my friend's exit from this 'arth, I hope I have not had a lesson without .ts mournful instruction. 3Mr. ELMO1tE, from the time lie entered ipon the arena of life till his death, has act d no ordinary part in public aflitirs. lfe ins filled many employments and trusts of honor and responsibility; and the confidence if his fellow-citizens to the last was an lion able coinnientarv on the mn:umner in which e discharged these duties.
