It was not azreed npon any issue of national poli- tics. and the editor ef a leading democrztic paper ad declared there was no such thing asa demo- cratic party, either national or sectional. Would hi leagne violate the Constitution becanse he could vot get his constifftional rights’ What sentiment of Lis colleague (Mr. Nelson) in regard to the Union, would his democratic colleagues repudiate. He should say wherever the republi- em or any other party should have violated the Constitution and trampled upon the rights of Tennessee and the South, there would be no lon- xer any Union to love or Constitution to cherish [Applause] Then be Would become a sectional maa, and would pray God to make his slender arms bard as iron to strike in vindication of the rizhts of Tennessee. Mr. Leake, of Va., asked who was to judge of the infraction of the rights of the States, and the remedy for such infract on ? Mr. Hatton replied that there was a co-ordinate branch of government established for the purpose of passing upon the constitutionality of all enact. ments, and whenever that Court should decide that h‘s constituents were wronged. and that wrong was pe ed in, then the Constitution and the Union would be no more. Whenever men in another section of this Union, by legislation or otherwise, id attempt to trample upon the rights of his section, then the time for action would bave come. It had been said that every man who avows himself fer the Union was to he ed. and he would wear that brand pride. He would sing no hallelujahs to the Union but be wonld repeat the sentiment of George H Was! mm. -Phe Uvion, the palladium of vour liberties; never surrender it;* and the sentiment of Andrew J son, **The Federal Union—it must be preserv: He wes ready to do and dare all in-vindieation of the unity aud integrity of bis country. [Applause } Mr Pennington, of N.J_, obtained the floor. Mr. Winslow, of N.C., moved that when the House adjourn, it be to meet on Monday next; which was agreed to. Mr. Pennington desired to say a few words on the subject of the orusnization, and that alone. He believed that all discussion aside from the or- ganization was against tbe spirit and meaning of Parliamentary law, and certainly of no_ practical utility, for no question involved in these debates could be brought toa vote. The country, thank Heaven, their common country, demanded that theysbould now organize and proceed to business; and as nocandidate could get a majority, he insist. ed that they were bound toadopt the plurality rule The party which wonld object to a resolution for that rule ought. in hi iment, to be held _re- sponsible for not organizing the’ House. The e'ection of Speaker, by any particular party, was not of half as much consequence as this keeping the country iu a perpetual tumult. In conclusion he oftered this resolution, which he would read: Resolved, ‘That t vote ama- ain vote. and if er Vote shall be ich time, at one again be taken, ng the highest number of red elected Speaker of this ofa tie vote between the two nother vete shall immediately be token on the same principle - Messrs.

But three or four bodies have been teken from the ruins since yesterday, though it is itively known that there are still more beneath he pile of rubbish. All the bodies recovered, with the exception of four or five, been recognized and taken away by friends. The funcrals of some of them “will take place to-day. Those bodies which are still remaining at the City Hall, will be kept as long 2x possible for identification. The greatest attention is paid to the wounded. a number of physicians and nurses from neigh- boring cities have arrived to relieve those who have been on duty since the falling of the build- ing. The ladies of this city are unceasing in their attentions to the wounded, and whenever assistance is needed, some of them isto found. Efforts were made to throw down the remainder wall. which is still standing, and which threatens to fall atany moment. Great numbers of the operatives who were in the millat the time ef the accident fled on th first alarm, and so escaped unharmed, their safet not being known until the city was pec f which accounts for the difference between the number first reported as among the sufferers and the actual number. . The number of people from other places visiting the ruins cannot have been less than thirty thous- and. It 4s reported that many thieves and pick- | pecan are mixed in thecrowd; and some of thefn ave already been at work upon the pockets of spectators. Quite a number of policemen from other cities have rendered valuable services in watching these customers. Among the visiters were some turbulent characters, with less suscep- tibility than brutes, who were unatfected by the scenes in which the dead and mutilated of their own species, Were conspicuous. These profession- al rowdies came to gratify their morbid curlosity. and then to have a time. A large majority of the operatives employed in the mill were foreigners, principally Scotch and Irish. Most of the American girls engaged were employed in the dressing room, and few of them were killed. A large amount of money has been received al- ready from various charitable associations and private individuals for the benefit of the sufferers Many of the dead bodies have beenclaimed and taken away by their friends; but those remaining naclaimed —heing past identification —it was found absolutely necessary to have them interred A lot in the cemetery, in part belonging to the city, was accordingly set apart for that purpose, and the bodies were placed there. Arrangements will soon be made for a public funeral of the per- sons deceased. bnt the time and place has not been fixed upon as yet. ‘The coroner's inquest is taking evidence daily. According to the best theory which can be de- duced froin the descriptions of parties concerned, the fall happened as follows: If a process which was really almost instantaneous can be divided into periods, the long wall on the northerly side of the building fell first, outwards; leaving, of course, the roof (which was fiat) and all the floors. without support on that side, so that they dropped into a slanticg pesition, and literally sluded many of the operatives out of the building upon the fallen wall, when, to complete the catastrophe, the southerly wall fell inwords over the whol In this way it will be seen that the operatives the upper story. for instance, were simply thrown out of the building; and although so sudden and steep a fall would. ordinarily be disastrous, they Were supported more or less by the wall which fell under them, and many of them escaped. The operatives below who happened to be on the northerly side of the building were more or less protected from the same cause, and those on the southerly side received some protection from the fact that the floorsabove ther did not fall at once on that side. The causes to which the disaster is attributed Some say that for several years the ing of the machinery sod 2 Yon of the whole br and, as it appears that at the time of the accident sow workmen were moving some heavy machinery, it is probable that this, together with the recent severe frosts and sudden ttaw. which mig ¢ have moved the foundations, was the immediate cause of the calamity Others attribute it to the Spreading of the walls in the upper part of the structure The Boston Herald says that the builder of the mill alleges that he knows the cause of the fall of the building, but obstinately refuses to disclose until summoned to testify before the Coroner's jury The witnesses at the inquest testified that there was running water in the excavation all the time they were laying the foundation of the mill, and that the brick walls were too light and thin. and were pierced by too many windows. IncrpENTs.

She recovered during the evening, and on Wednesday was sutliciently well to stand in the doorway of her boarding- house. Another young woman, also about 20. escaped an awful deat. Unapprised of the fall of the building natil the terrible catastrophe itself came upon her, she was at work in the third story. only knows that the whole flooring above her was precipitated upon that on which she stood, ac- companied by 2 terrific no se. She was crushed beneath some machinery near which she was at work, her head being pressed against a beam, seeming, a8 Sbe described it, as if her head Would “split in two at every moment”? Her limbs were forced in one direction, ber arms In another. But one arm could be used at a Every second the heavy weight seemed to be settling closer and closer upon her. She saw nothing but death awaiting her. Her feelings were those of the most agonizing kind. She said she prayed God that she might be delivered from impending death . - Hardly had she ceased uttering the prayer than the falling of a wall in a distant portion of the ill released her from the imminent peril about her. With presence of mind that exhibited genuine heroism, she strogyled amid danger and death, and in tiie reached a point of safety. This was after being in the ruins for upwards of au hour. She was, however, more injurcd than was at first supposed, as is evident from her inability not only not to leave her bed. but hardly turn her body. Her physician apprehends some internal injury of a gerious nature. She conversed with diticulty. A maiden lady. about 35, who worked in the upper (dressing) room, was precipitated to the ruins (or with them) below, and sustained no par- ticular injury. Her escape is most extraordinary. She came among timbe rtions of the roof, bricks, machinery, &c . but was unharmed. It was one of the most wonderful of all the escapes of this terrible tragedy. Shortly before the fire broke out, and while thousands of persons were exerting themse! the utmost to save life and extricate the dcad, a little girl was discovered by a party at work in a partof the ruins. She lay upon ber back; a large bar of iron (one of the iron columns) was thrown over her so that she was unable to move; besides, her arms were fastened by some of the machinery wiring that had got wound around them. Her face was badly lacerated, and the bumane indi- viduals. saddened by the sight around them, pro ceeded to extricate the. su ppoeed corpse. After repeated trials at the bar of iron, without being able to move it off, « stalwart man passing by, stoo) and easily lifted the bar. The Surprise of the pate on finding the little girl alive and not fatally injured, may be imagined, not described. She had’so lain between some of the bricks and rubbish that but little of the flcor and falling iron had come upon ber A_ husband was anxiously searching the wreek for his wife. The search was long and untiring. Every little nook wes carefully examined, and finally the lost one was found. In turning over some of the rooffing, in a pile of rubbish, sue was discovered, closely imbedded among brick, iron, splinters of wood, &e. It required some time to clear it away, and when once it wes found the husband took the supposed lifeless body away. Before he reached home the lady recovered con- sciousness, and with the exception of some slight injuries, is probably as well as ever. Of the five overseers of the different departments of the mill, but one, Mr. Branch, was killed. The other four—Messrs. Tatterson, Nevins, Glover and Sbove—were fortunate in escaping uninjured. Buta few moments before the falling of the buiid- ing. Mr. Chase, the Agent of the Company, Mr. Clarke, the clerk, and several of the overseers, were together in the weave-room. Mr. Chase ali at once noted something unusual and heard a cracking sound, when, almost instinctively, he started for the door, the only available mode of egress. This door, which it had been the prac. tice of keeping fastened, was opened by a boy just as Mr. Chase and his companions reached if, and the party had just time to get half a dozen feet from the wall when it fell. Shortly after this, a little girl sapere in the window of the northwest corner of the building which was standing, and jumped out. She was caught by some gentlemen, and sustained no in- ory. ' A brother and sister—Robert and Mary Moore— employed in the weave-room, were buried in the falling mass. They say the whole attair off so quickly that they hardly knew what hap- pened. The first intimation that they had of it Was a crash overhead, and thena trembling of the building. Instinetively they both laid flat upon the tloor, and both came out of the ruins safe and sound. At about the same time the body of a woman was taken out by her friends. She was much crushed by bricksand machinery. and when taken outat last, was supposed to bedead. Her husband carried her to his home in his arms, where a number of friends and relatives were awaiting the result. Just as they came in sight. the woman revived and suddenly cried out, Pim safe, Pm safe.’ Her friends received her as though she had risen from the dead. At the time of the fire two or three baggage cars, filled with cotton, were. standing upon the track near the end ofthe building. The wall fell upon them when it fell, and the cotton took fire. {t continued to smouldsr until yesterday after- hoon, when the rubbish was cleared away, the cotton picked over, and the fire put out. One man was rescued from the ruins about 4 o'clock inthe morning, and strange to say, he was little injured that he was able to walk to his house. He was between two bales of cotton, at a place where a plentiful supply of water | was poured on at the commencement of the fire. His escape Wes almost miraculous In the afternoon another man was discovered alive in one of the chimneys that remained stand- ing. There was a small holein thechimney fram which a voice was heard by some poe at work upon the ruins in the vicinity, and he was taken outalive. Among those engaged in the humane work of rescuing the entombed victims wzs a young man, named Wentworth, who most unfortunately fell from aladder and broke one of his arms. Young Weatwerth lost his father about three weeks since, and his mother is now lying in the last stages of consumption His case excites universal sympathy. : W hen the fire was accidentally set to the rnins. aman was passing coflee to some women buried among the timbers. and encouraging them to hope that they wonld scon be extricated; but the | fatal camphene or fluid lamp was dropped and broken near toem immediately afterward, and the water was applied they were heard ing “Oh, you are cesta we are dy- Bovy Fowunp.
