We obtain from the Columbia papers particulars of a most disastrous and extensive conflagration, which has been prevailing in he city of Boston, Mese. It broke oat Saturday eight at half-past 7 o'olock. About Ave mile* of the olty had been destroyed at laat accounts, and near two hundred milllona of doltara worth of property consumed by the fiory element. The fire waa beyond oontrol for fifteen honra, during wbich time hundreds of the costliest buildings in the country were * burned. Many of the large buildings (have been blown up in order to chock the spreading of the flames. The statements in this man* ner: We are blowing up buildings on Lindal' and Congress streets to cheek the flaaaes,? Beebee' block, tbe finest business structure in the city, was burned. 8tewart's rooms only fed the flames. Pieces of dry goods wont whistling across the square firing tbo stores. On Do* onshiro street every building Is now boated to tho verge of spontaneous oombustion and caught like tinder; deafening explosions are constantly beard. The tenement houses at the upper ond of Federal street bava now caught. Crased women dasheu to and fro with clothe* and bedding in their arms. The srool houses on Federal street caught next. They were crammed from cellar to garret.? The paper houses oamo next. The Freodman's National Bank went. An hour later the National Bank of North America went. Bosto*, Sunday, Nov. 10. An alarm of fire was sounded abont 7:30 last night, followed by a second, third and fourth alarm, in rapid succession. The first engine was hardly on the gronnd when tbe flames burst from the fourth stories of the granite store, at tbo corner of Summer and Kinaton streets, a wholesale dry goods house. Tho fire caught in the engine room, the flames following tbe elevator, and was first seen under tbe roof of buildings in the vicinity, four story granites, Mansard roofs. The flames soon reached the Mansard roof? on the oppo-. site aide, far beyond the reach oftbo engine*. In lest than thirty minute* the whole city, in one direction, waa at the moroy of the flame*, which leaped from roof to roof. One great dry good* house after aaotber succumbed. The granite wall fell on the street?, making them impassable. At 9 o'clock Sunday tho flro still rages. Bugines are driven back from station to station, flranite blocks, weighing ton*, split in fragments and are hurled across the streets. The magnificent Postofliee, with the moat of Congress street, will probably be burned. The fire has reached dimensions that simply defy any description. The people of Boston find themselves in dans ger of their lives. Tho loss of houses and property is nowsearcely thought of. The peo\ pie asp retiring/rom befoae She l*a" toward Trcmont street, wtidrn tie fire It Is supposed will be unable to reach; but a gfcMls blowing and it seems to have nopositivo direction.' Probably Fanieal Hell and Qainoy market will go. The Western TTnlon Telograph Office was abandoned athalf?pa*t eight. The splendid* marble blocks on Franklin at, packed from cellar tojoeiling with costly goods, are in ruins. There can be no correct estimate to the amount of property already destroyed. Many people are panie stricken, and aro seeking safety in flight. The country around will be filled with the houseless. The fire, np to this timo, has raged in the richest business part of the city. There is no knowing where ii may ena. n > now Darning iowara? ine docks, and will probably destroy then. The Custom House is in danger. Mors Fires.?Since our last Issue two fires have broken ont in nearly the same neighborhood, in Ward No. 1, under eery strange circumstances?one on the premises and under the dwelling of Mrs. Luther McBee, the other in a barn on the premises whers Mr. 11. M. Winstocx lirea. , The former occurred about day-break on last Thursday morning. Some of the oeeu < pants of the house were awakened by the noise of a cow in ths yard, and a colored ( boy, who was dispatched to drive the eow out, soon came back with the alarming information that there was fire under the house. The strong odor of smoke, powder and kerosene oil which bad already per vaded the rooms above confirmed the boy's intelligence, and Mr. Luther MoBri lost no time in locating the fire, which, fortunately* he succeeded in extinguishing with ? bucket or two of water. The black* hearted incendiary (for incendiary it must hare been) kindWd his fire in a pile of iightwood, ready split, and it seems, memt to make his diabolical work doubly surs by the use of powder and kerosene oil, with which latter a scorched news-paper pulled irom me nro wti thoroughly saturated.? No clue whatever for the discovery of the perpetrator has been found. Mrs. McB. and family are among our best and most peaceable citizens, which renders the outrnge the more atrocious. The fire on Mr Winstocr's place occurred on Sunday night about 7 6 o'clock, and was discovered by a gentleman going to church soon after its incipiency. The match of tho incendiary (for incendiary it must have been) had evidently been struck but a few minutes, as the fire had only had lime fo climb to the top of a pile of hay io the barn, within essy reach of the sidewalk through the large and convenient cracks. There was neither stove nor fire place in the adjoining home, nor could a spark posaible have reached the bottom of a pile of hay t? a haute when do wind was blowing from the eh raney of the dwelling in whhh, wa learn, there was very little fire at the time.

Editok .* I was not a little surprised at your comments <*? saf address to tho vo* lets of the Fourth C-?ngr? anion a I District.? You seem to have diaoovnred a new code of morals, in pronouncing It " wrong,*^iot to employ a negro, because he will not vote with u*. for honest men to sustain it par* government, instead of voting for had men to contfnn* * corrupt nnd oppressive one I I admit, air, the right of a negro to vota as he plenties ; and I also insist on my right, equally moral, to stnploy him or oot, as I please. There la no p?*nt obligation on my part to employ him than there ia on hia part to vote with ma. You cannot doubt the morality of thla proposition. lie pro priety is eqnaliy apparent to my mind.? Can it ba said that there is any propriety or moral obligation in my eheriahing a viper to sting me unto death T Is it "wrong" for me to refuse to employ a pares! of men who are assisting, by their votes, to diminish the value of my property and to crush me with laxatbn for the purpose of paying a fraudulent State debt, fotged bonds, false certificates, and enriehing official rogues and swindlers? My proposition is simply to havo nothing to do with such people until they change theV disgraceful and rui^ ous policy vfOt to aroploy thgp, and Dot U> rotfbl^ninjy then Id any Way, ( would toy to Ihetn as 1 would say to d sat of rogues who wart stealing o?y property : "I eannot employ you or hgya anything to do with yeu whilst you continue your roguery.? Quit stealing and become hottest, and 1 will give you amploymeot and rent vou my Unde," If by this policy t should be able to make thrift honest, I cSonot are any "Wrong" in It, And in tha as me way. If I ean present negroea, who come to seek em ploynient, ffotti voting to sustain an infa* mously corrupt and oppresaive government* I cannot aee '.hat T am committing any "wrong," but doing them ahd my country a greet Service. You e?y : " It is repugnant to tha genius of our free institutions." Is it repugnant to the genius of our free institutions to enlighten the human mind or rufnrm tha ?t*inn> conduct of m?n f Some persons nosy be convinced by reason and argument, and others by a practical illustration, such as I propose for the plante s and farmers to adopt. There are thousands of negroes in South Carolina who know very well that they are doing wrong and acliog against the true in'erests of the country in voting for rogues nnd scoundrels ; but they think it is to their Interest to do so. Let us show them #'t they are mistaken, by refusing them employment. I would ask, if you think it consistent with the genius of our free institutions, for paupers and non-taxpayers to levy a tax on property ad libi(?itn t la not the tax-payer justifiable in adopting ail peaceable and legal means of restraining this power as much as possible ? Is it consistent with the ge? niua of our free institutions for ignorance and roguery to control the government f? When this is the case, are not the virtuous and patriotic justifiable in resorting to all fair, open and manly expedients to change this control? Is it right and proper for a few unprincipled carpet-baggers and scalawags to direct as they please, for their own eggrnndizoment and power, the ignorant voting masses, and that no concert of action, legal nnd peaceable, should be taken to check and dethrone their power ? Is there any greater "wrong" in refusing to employ a Radical laborer, than a Radical lawyer or doctor ? Do we not all prefer the association of gentlemen to carpetbaggers and scalawaga? Does not every right-minded man give his patronage, in all business, to the friends, instead of the enemies, of his country? Why, then, should we adopt a different rule for those who ore (o work for ns nod wail on us? You say, " In the second place the reme. dy is Inexpedien "and "impracticable to he carried out.** I admit there ia force in tbia objection. The love of present lucre may prova too strong for our bona tod patriotism. "The da*ir? for gain," you any, "on the part of the individual land-holder,- will defeat any such policy. But will not "the individual land-holder sec that his interest in the land will be promoted T The laborer and renter eould not hold out two months. But if the planter loat a crop, it would be nothing in eompariaon with the restoration of a wise and good government. Your eotemporary and my friend of the Carolinian aays: "We cannot hut regard Etr-Governor Perry as a hasty adviser."? Let roe assure histTKItt'I have not been hasty" in coming to this conclusion. It haa hern my mature and deliberate convietion for a long lime that there is no other hope of rescuing our Slatc^ftovernment from the hands of rogues and scoundrels but this If we lo not resort to this means, we are a d??om?d people, and our lands will be con fiscnted by taxation. Already, leading negro politicians have intimated that our lands would he sold to pay the puhlie debt; and then the public debt being paid, the new purchasers would hold them free of taxation! Tlio Carolinian further says: "We Jo not hesitate to declare that there it neither sound poliey nor good statesmanship in this proposition." This is a difference of opinion, only between the editor and myself.? \v<. have differed before on a matter of VI* till importance to tli# country. lie thought, in 18A0, that "neither sound policy nor good statesmanship" ahould prevent Honth Carolina from receding from the Federal Union. I thought diff.-1-cntly, adviaed differently ; declared that disunion war the deaih-bnell of alavcry and the ruin of the Sooth. I now "declare" again, that unlets this roguish and oppressive government i? overthrown, South Oarolina ia destined to become a howling wilderness; and there i? no means under Heaven whereby we can change the goveinment, except by refusing to employ or oounienanee in any way those who are upholding and sustaining its Infamy and pollution. The he*l and ab]?st men in the Stat# have rea?oned and argued with tha colored people, in public and private, without the slightest effect on their actions and oonduet in politiortl affairs. They have resorted to kindness, And d?ss vor?, all to no purpose. You think "edo. cation will open an avenne to their confidence and good will." If thla were so, it would take a generation to open the avenue, and the ruin of tho State, in the mean time, is inevitahla. Sot, my dear sir, you havs hot to look around yon asd be con vineod of your fallacy. You will see, unmistakably, that tho strongest supporters of the present corrupt government, and the bitterest foes of rcfnrm, ore the best educated and most intelligent of the enlored raoe ? suah men as Kllioti, Cardoso, Nash, Ran oirr, Wright, Rainey.
