The Washington ublican, has tha following concerning the dc- tort conseauent upon the . r a. - . secession troubles : A prime boy," worth $2,000 in flush times, was oflerod thirty dsys ago in this city at $1,000, and again Friday last at $500, without a purchas er. A widow lady in this vicinity, sold last week for $50, a " boy " about fifty-five years old, for whom sho was receiving a hire of eight dollars per month. There are four millions of negro slaves' In this country, whose average prico, m riudinr all aecs and conditions, exceeded $500 each, prior to recent agitations, and no article of property was paying a nigner income man uawa at that valuation. The aggregate exceeded two thousand milhons of dollars. Now, if theso figures are correct (and -we have no reason to doubt it) is it not aa plain as the 'nose on a man's face," that this seces sion movement on the part of South Carolina, and other States, who are at this moment giving her aid and comfort, has already cost the South the neat little sum of one thou sand millions of dollars in actual deprecia tion of one olass of property alone I We now call upon some of our own politicaus, who are favoring immediate secession, tnd who way bo quicker sod better at figures than we are, to work out this sum for their constitu ents, via : If a partial disruption of the Union, merely, has ooat, in fifteen States, a depreciation in one class of property alone, of $1,000,000,000, -then how much will a total disruption of the States cost in every department of. trade in every species of pro perty throughout the whole thirty-three States of the Union 1 And after the aforesaid repre sentatives have succeeded in working out these resul U in plain figures, " that do not lie," let them add to it the amount it will cost to arm and equip the fifteen Southern States, and to support a standing army of at least 10,000 men in each State; Add to this he cost and expense of a navy, and a postal sys tem, c, &e., then, and not until then, will they begin to find out something about the real vslue of this Union. ' And this, too, is under the vain supposition that the Union can be ntirelv destroyed without the least blood icing shed! But if civil war is brought bout, who is it, we ask, can enter into dculation of all the mischiefs and miseries at will, inevitably,' be entailed on iplel ' UT1I CAROLINA AND THK MAILS. t will be seen that the Postmaster Cens us stopped the mails for South Carolina. s action is perfectly right. South Caro declares the United States to be a na -Foreign" to her, and if she is right doing sho has no right to expeot this eign " nation to supply fier with mail ies. This stoppage of mails for the n " of South Carolina esn, in no sense ord, be called " coercion," although j-Eaters will so term it.

I T THK- DISASTROUS FIRE IN LOU1S- ' f , BURG. W s i A correspondent of the Petrburg Expresi writing from JLouisburg, gives the following do tailed account of the destructive fire which V place in that town on Friday night, thV 28th ul timo: 1 The business part of our town is in ashes. A fire was discovered about 7 o'clock on tl e nightof the 28th inst., Issuing from the drinkii ig saloon of Mr. J.-C. Aycock, fronting the Co'irt-hoase Square. On the first a'arm, our citize is rushed to the scene and used every effort, assistc i by our country friends and their slaves, who 1 vere sent by their ownen to aid us, but alas ! to n purpose, as the sequel will show. The fire spread with great rapidity east and west; on jthe east, burning J.J. Minetree's car-riage-houso, and a large two-story work- shop, oc cupied by Mr.'W. H. Ferguson, coach -m aker, &c Yarborough & Barrow's store, opposite, was rei cued by great exertions, but it sustained milder -able damsee. 'The flames spread also west from the saloon, deMsoying Ii." Noble's store XUr'ied bv Joel Thomas. nd nextto P.J. Bro" K&0n s and Wrai G. Collins', lower story or ' Dr. Edward Lawrence ; from thence nc -ing T. N. Carlile's, Dr. W. R. Kinf White, and greatly endangering the r i pied by h.burn Shaw A lence o; Mrs. II. Shaw. From Collier's corner, the devourii., rflempnt crossed the street, burning to the groan of Ballard & Massenburg; also, N. B and the .Temperance Hall, where its d the store Walker's a-tations were checked by the almost superhui of those on hand. ' , In rear of Ballard & ilassenburg't Dent's Hotel; which toon, with all the became a prey to the rushing element- AH the property destroyed was near! ,i-! efforts situated u- houses ew ,and the stores, which were known to many oi your cit izens, were most elegant buildings, and nmsnea in verv costly sivle. The goods, with some ex ceptions, were saved, but in a very damaged con-; fire, many were burnt alter being remorod from the tenements. Many thefts were committed during th eonfu on. At 10 o'clock all was still. It would be invid ious to make any distinction, where all did tbeir duty, but I hope I may be pardoned for mention ing" the name of one of our townsmen, nr. u. j, Smith. N.'ver did man labor as he did. Many times did he seem enveloped in the lurid flame, and where the danger was most imminent, there was Mr. Smith ; and to his efforts, astisted by oth ers, is to be attributed the present safety of sot eral houses. With but two or three exceptions. tWajmert chants are insured, principally in the Geensrboro' and Raleigh Mutual insurance Uompanife ci ine SUte. I understand Mr. V . U. Collins U not in sured. His lews is supposed to be $4,000 or $5, 000. Mr. B. Walker is aUo without in.-urance, his policy having expired on the 21st inst.; The other sufferers are insured all or in part It is conjectured the total loss will be-in the. neighbors hood of 560,000. Would that I could now dose, but-ths most melancholy part of the disaster remains to 13 told. The death of W. B. Brown, son of P. J. Brown, Esq., under the circumstances, has cast a deep gloom over our whole community. The pt.rt'cu- lais, as near as I could ascertain them, aro as tal lows : The goods wore being removed from Hal lard & Massenburg's store into the strcot near by. Upon the pile of goods was thrown a loaded double-barrel gun, upon which, in. quick succession, was thrown a lot of goods, which caused an ox plosion, discharging the load of one barrel (buck thoO into the tuirlt and croin of vounc B own. c c - who was paseine at the time. He lived sbout one hour. The scene can be imagined, but the jn h unable to picture vit. He was one of thi most promising young wen in our midst; honored snd beloved by all, and doled npon by his nor uci ly bereaved family. May the Almighty console hi heart-stricken parents. , - j j FOR THK EKOISTIR. Misers. Editors : Amid the blind phrenzy and spasmodic excitement with hich the disu nion and higher-law members of the legislature-, with Gov. Ellis at their head, seem to have ben se:zed, it is matter of congratulation to! witness the calm dignity of the people, whose devotion to the Union, amid imaginary peril, is unabated. Secession and disunion they can scarcely con template, and if at all, as a remedy for fancied grievances, with horror. The people, as yet, have not moved in the mat ter bare not acted. Action, thus far, has been confined to boroughs and one-horse village?, where the effervescing scum, the legitimate result of im mature judgment and hasty action, is thrown tff as an expression from the petiole. No, the peopIeJjtoe would repcrt at an early day, was ;not an as yet have not acted ; but wpen they do, wefra-.t it will be to rebuke tnose servile Imitaters of S. Carolina chivalry, who would humiliate their State by forcing her to follpw the fortunes of a State which has always proven a curse to the Union, a State which was the first to nullify a solemn law of Congress in short, a State which was the first to inaugurate a higher-law doctrine. and one which has persistently continued in an attitude of antagonism to the Union-for the last thirty years. , No, gentlemen, North Carolina will never be forced to relinquish her inheritance in the Union at the instance of South Carolina, or any other State. North Carolina will never consent to march under an exclusive flag, nor keep step , to any other than the " music of the Unioni." All her future movements, as the past, must bp in the. Union as it is, and under the protection of that same old fag, once known as " the flag ot the Union f under that same old " star-spangled ban ner," rendered immortal not only by the undvin strains of Francis S. Key, but by a thousand other hallowed associations.. ; Then we deny the rizht of Got. Ellis, or of the Legislature, to inaugurate a. disunion senti ment for the people or North Carolina a semi. ment always repugnant to their political, as well a moral taaohisgs. . j . . Yes, we utterly deny their assumption of thn right to inaugurate a higher law or secession sen. timentin North Carolina; or, for imaginary or existing evils, impose additional burthens on the people by appropriations or otherwise, looking to a dissolution of the Union a contineenjv.i we1 contend, which would never arise, unless precipi tated by nasty and imprudent counsels, i I la conclusion, we deny that the necessities or the times require,.as remedial agents, the,brag and bluster, the fuss and fury of many in and out of tho Legislature, as it is well known that the causes which are said to Justify the present irrational ex. citement have existed for some time during which tnese sejr-consutuled guardians of the honor of North Carolina siw : fit to nurse their wrath. Had they acted otherwise, however, daring the late campaign before the people, we would have been saved from a good deal of useless rhodomonJ tade, and of the disgrace which attaches to an ef fort to force the Slate, in imitation of South Car. olina, to go off half-cocked " out of the Union. - .., UNION.

Now they saw the truths South Carolina had be come a tree and independent SUte ; Mississippi, Florida t and Alabama, would resume their in dependence next week, and Georgia, Louisana, Texast' and Arkansas would soon follow. The question now is whether their independence shall bo reoognized or civil war begun. South Caroli na has only repealed in 1860 what she did in 1788. She had the right to do that, because th com pact, which bound her having been broken on one side was broken on all sides. The present Union had been formed on this principle by nine States seceding from the old Confederacy. Herquoted from the debates in the!Conventions of '88-!89. to show the truth of this, and sustained the position by well considered arguments. ; He declared that the States had two classes of remedies, one class against a power usurped in the name of the Con-! stitution, which was Secession, and the other against the abuse of constitutional power.j which wa Revolution. He denied that secession was a revolutionary right and quoted the McLebd crso tohowthat individuals could not be held respon sible when carrying out the orders of their State government. He showed that civil process must precede military force, and that no civil j process is t osSible in a seceding; State.

States is suggested by the';CdmmHteo as a suitable and proper basis on which lb found a provisional government, fi, r the; folio wibg reasons : j : First, that said instrument is a work of the very first order in strength and accomplishment; that it was most carefully constructed on comprehen sive views ; and, after careful examination of its details that experience has broven. it to be a good form of government for those sufficiently virtuous, intelligent and patiiolic, to cause it to be fairly and honestly construed and? impartially adminis tered; that the settled opinion of this State never has beeni adverse to its plan of government for confederated States,' on account of ary thing .in its structure, but its dissatisfaction is attributable to the false glosses, dangerous (misinterpretation and perversion of sundry of its provisions,, even to the extent of so covering ujp the real purposes of loieiation as to nrbtoct domestic manufactures in one section at the expense df the pther, and to es top thrfexecution of the oplinion of the Supreme Courts that it presents a complete scneme oi con federaQon, capabl of being speedily operated. The people of South -Carolina cherished and felt safe under it in their own hands, on the interpre tation of the Administration, especially the por tions that have been, by poVmis-ion, made appar ent for mischief .and oppression in the hands of adverse and inimical interests j that a speedy Con federation by theSouth is desirable in the highest degree wbicn it i4 supposed must be temporary, (if accomplished as soon as it should bo,) and no better basis than the Constitution of the United States is likely to' be suggested or adopted for tem porary purposes; that in the opinion of those to whom it is designed to offer, it would bo concilia tory, and show that Carolina intended; to seek' no selfish advantage, nor indulge in the least spirit of dictation j that such a form of Government is more or less known in Europe, and, if adopted, would indicate abroad that the seceding Southern States had the lorecast and energy to put npe ration forthwith and assume a government and ad ministration competent toi produce a prompt or eanization for internal necessities, and sufficient o ... . - - : : . j: 4 i.:kn r----- - n- wTthout del . 4 united power nrotocuon 10 loreign commercw uirwux . uimiw, toimbih? thu oorse and sword, that might bring to a prudent issoo the reflections of those who per chance may bo contemplating an invasion and an issue disastrous to those who attempt the ; execu tion of their unholy designs.

By the. old law the regular United States Army consisted of about thirteen thousand men .j under a law passed in 1850, authority was granted which, with full reg iments,1' would make a total force of nineteen thou sand. This small force is now scattered over the vast territory bf the Union ; some in Utah, keep ing the) Mormons in ordea; others in Oregon, California and' WashirigtonV Territory, fighting the Indians ; and some in Kansas, looking after Montgomery and his "Jayhawkers." But we hear of very few located at the South, and it would probably be a difficult matter to Concen trate a uaree force in. that region, except of yolun teers, withoutsome weeks, or perhaps even months' notice.:? : . .. j . -. ' ' v. How it was Managed. We hear that on Christmas day Major Anderson dined formally with the secession authorities chiefs in Charles ton, and Was duly carried back to Fort Moultrie by early moonlight, apparently very much over come by the good things drinkable Set before him. Those in- charge of the steamer posted in the chan nel to Watch his movements in the fort, therefore thought it would be safe for them to relax their vigilacej and themselves take a Christmas night frolic, and in the midstj of which Anderson and his force spiked Moultrie's guns and landed safe ly in Eort Sumter. The apparent intoxication of Anderson was but a femt to have the very ettecl it did have. Waslu Star. . GunWool on the Crisis. Troy, Dec. 31.
