terday, to examine their Steam Grist Mill It is
a great Improvement In tho mode of grinding.
The Engine carries two run of Stones, which turn
out 15 bushels an hour. The process of bolting
.Is carried on at tho same time. , It is contempla
ted to attach elcrsters to the machinery for the
purpose of hoisting grain into the second and
third stories.
The Meal is the Tory best for table uso and

. THE PRESIDENCY
. The New York Tribuno, which goes for Scott
nnd against Fillmore, stoutly denies that his op
.position to the latter is on account of Fillmore's
fidvKty to the iCompromlso. There $ro several
classes io the .opposition of which the Tribune Is
the organ.- By some he is opposed jpn jko ground
that he cannot be elected., Others say be has
proscribed Whigs, and has not used bis appointing
power for the benefit of the whole party, hut of a
TmaU and malignant clique. This is the class that
wantcji oinceaoaoia not got it a very cogent
. reason with somo persons.
We quote some remarks of the Tribune, as wo
are wilting our readers should know what Greoly
says en this subject

We dare say that most of those who attended!

who are the minions of a foreign . Prince and the
slaves of inveterate superstition and these Priests
will lead tho flock In any political path they
chooso and that choice will inevitably tend to
the destruction of the rights, of man, whenever

a matter of history.
We have a little matter of history for tho edifi
cation of Editors of Democratic papers, which wo
hope they will duly lay before thoir readers, somo
tipio early in the Presidential campaign.
, The Senate of Massachusetts lately passed a
law, completely nullifying tho Fugitive Slave Law ;
an act so hostile to the Constitutional action of the
General Government, that if it had hocn done in
South Carolina, it, would have drawn upon that
State tho wrathful indignation of tho North. Mr.
Hasewcll, Editor of the Boston Times, voted for
this bill and he has the names of Denglas and
Hunter for Prcsidont and Vice Pregjdc in the
columns of his paper, which la democratic. Mr.
Knowlton, Editor of the Worcester Palladium, a
democratic paper, also voted for it and this Mr
Knowtyon is the Delegate from his District to the
Democratic National Convention. Ouly one Whig
voted for this lav in the Senate.
The Bill was defeated in tho House by clevon
majority, as we stated some days ago and only
roua Whigs voted for it, out of 190 of that party
in the House 1 1 We marvel that our friend Nol
den of the Standard has failed to record theso
matters.
What wcro the grounds of this rebellious action
of iho Senate of Massachusetts 1 The petition
of 166 legal voters out of more than 150,000 ! 1
Has South Carolina ever perpetrated a doed of
such causeless, wanton, insolent defiance of tho
Federal Constitution 1 Never wo say, without
fear of successful contradiction, never! Wo re
frain from comments of our own on this point,
and give the following from the Washington Re
publica paper that will not be suspected of dis
union principles, or of desiring to make excuses
for, the guilty yialajers of tho Integrity of the
Onion. The following remarks arc just, so far as
they reach the case of South Caiolina:
When the Legislature of 8outh Carolina have
sought to nullify a law of Congress, or to devise
measures for secession, tbey have acted on a strong
pressure from without. They have been merely
expressing tho sentiment of the people, whom
they have faithfully represented in their tju;es of
excitemcut. Tbey have not beep false; the fee
lings snd wishes (for the timo being) of thejr sen
timents. We have never seen them attempt to
nullify a Federal act on no better warrant than the
petition of one hundred and fifty-five raon, calling
themselves legal voters. They have been hurried
on and coerced by an overwhelming public opin
ion, which they could not resist, and about which
they could not mistake. They wonld not have
ventured to assume so grave a responsibility on
any less strong inducement.

"Nearly one hundred and sixty-seven years sgo,

the ' kingdom of France more than five hun
dred thousand Huguenots. They fled to all the
Protestant States of Europe, to England, to the

THE FIRE AT CHER AW.
An extra from tho oCice of tho Chcraw Gazetto,
dated Thursday, has the following :
"It is our painful dnty, this morning, to chroni
cle tho occurrence of a most disastrous conflagra
tion in the midst of tho business portion of our
town, daring tho last night Tbo alarm was given
a,boht half-past twelve o'clock. Upon reaching
the scene, we found the Dry Goods Store of Mr.
John Kyle enveloped in flames, which, together
wth tho adjoining Store of M.r. James Lynch, q
tho north, and that of Messrs.' Evans and Mclvcr,
ou tlie corner of FronH and Kershaw streets, were
'"'i I i . -'-. i .. .. ...
soon enveloped in names. To the soutu ot Mr.
Kyle's, the fire soon extended to the Store of Mr.
W. D. J. Reld, tho Law Office of Messrs. Inglis &
Wallace, the Tin Shop of Mr. C. Holmes, and to
the Stores of Mr. 1L M. Tomllnson and Peter Hai
lt'y, which were all consumed, with almost their
entiro contents. But for tbe calm which pervaded,
the fire would have been much more extensive.
As it was, tbe destructive clement was restrained,
only' by the most indefatigablo exertions of our
citizens. The Store of Mr. J. A. Da vid, ' next to
that of Mr. Halle, was several times on fire, as
were the Stores of Messrs. D. McNair, Threadgill
& Kendall and D. Matheson, on tho opposite side
of tho Street-
'The loss, as nearly as wo can estimate it, is
about as follows:
Messrs. Evans & Mclvcr, stock of goods $11,000
on which they bad a policy of insurance of (10,000.
Three store houses insured for $2,500. Mr. Jas.

88000, insured for $2000; also one store house,
and tho law office of Messrs. Inglis & Wallace,

FROM NEW MEXICO.
Wo have received Santa Fo papers of the 10th
ultimo, and ono or two letters from New Mexico,
though not of recent date. The Gazette of the 3d
puts a complete damper upon the statements Iu
relation to the mineral wealth of tho Rio Gala, of
which before we had very flattering accounts.
Persons who were engaged in the expedition to
the Rio Gila report, after a personal examination,
that there is not (he slightest reason, either from
history or tradition, to Relive that gold and pre
cious stones abound there.
The Gazette publishes a lettor from Governor
Calhoun, addressed to Thomas Ortiz, Prefect of
Santa Fe county, which certainly exhibits a curi
ous state of affairs in New Mexico. It' is in' these
words :
Executive Department, March 31, 1852.
Sih : Moved by a regard for tho protection of
property, I would respectfully recommon l that
yod establish a temporary police. For tho want
of funds to maintain them, and upon the represen
tation of the proper officers that tho prisoners
now In jail are in a starving condition, through a
humane feeling towards said prisopers and com
munity I have granted them a conditional pardon.
This rclcaso may render precautionary steps ndvi
sabb for a few nights. Respectfully,
J. S. CALHOUN.
From a private letter, written at Santa Fe; on
the 9th April, we learn that Governor Calhfe-un
who had then been dangerously sick, expected
to leave for the United States in about two weeks,
but it was exceedingly doubtful whether bo would
bo able to endure the fatigues of tho journey.
Tho people pf Santa Fe were much excited by
apprehensions of Insurrectionary movements, and
it was even said that tho night of tho 11th was
assigned for an attack upon "The Exchange,"
the commencement of these proceedings. The
military officer, in command of some thirty men,
was, however, acquainted 'with their plans, and
was prepared for them. St. Louis Republican.

Alleged Outrage on American Seamen in Cuba,
Capt, Clark, of the brig Joseph Albion, from
Sagua le Grande, has sent ns the following ac
count of an attempt to impress a seaman from
the brig Lucy Watts, of Maine, by the Cuban
authorities :
The brig Lucy Watts, Capt. Vl&lla, of Warren,
Maino, while loading at the port of Sa'gna le
Grande, was visited by order of tho Spanish Gov
ernment, and ono of her seamen taken out of her,
on tho grounds that he was a deserter from a
Spanish man-of-war.
The day following the Captain was ordered to
present himself at the town with two moro of his
crew, which ho did, and these two mon wore ta
ken from him and put in prison, along with the
first man taken, while' the captain could get no
answer to bis inquiries why this was done.
Captain Watts applied to the American Consul,
or agent, residing in Sagua, and ho addressed a
letter to the authorities, adding that tho man
should be restored to the vessel, and stating that
the captain was prevented from loading his ves
sel, and that ho should make a protest agalust
the act.
The answer tho Consul received, was, that the
authority which took the men from the vessel
was competent to tako men from the vessel of any
nation, and that the men would not bo sont on
board again, and that If Capt. Watts niado any
protest, he would roiidor himself liablo to be ta
ken from his vessel, put under arrest, and sent
to Havana. Capt. Watts did not moke hht pr0
tost, hut when I left it was not known what the
result would bo, though it was certain that the
vessel would not bo allowed to leave, unless she
paid all the expcnses'ii the imprisonment of her
ajeh, as woll as those lnearrod Iri taking them
from the vessel to tho town which is sbrae twenty
mHcsrom tbo bay.
. These facta can bo proved by all the masters
of vessels then laying in the port bf Sagua lo

difficulty k was supposed; tq ho in danger of con

ceptible; I regained a considerable portion of tbo
flesh and strength I had lost, and my labors have
since been performed without diincnuy. xuis in;
proreraent, I havo no doubt, is due to the use of
