Daw,' n tho Revue dcs Leuxlionces, says: [t is already several years sinco an ncreasing tendency of. American lit*raturo toward humor was pointed jut in tho Revue. A competent judge vas astonished at tho very, peculiar ,aste for tho lightest abd most fan,astic form of wit in tho most indus ,rious and practical people in tho vorld, and ho explained it by an error :oramon to self-love which makes iach of us aspire most particularly to ,hat success for which nature has adipted him. Perhaps upon' that point ie was wrong. Tho brave andj. gen srous coionisis wno, preceding we ;old-hunters, went to found upon a listant shore the model of democraiiefl, brought away from their native and T^th tho manners and "Puritan deas which still prevail in New jSngand, tho pre-eminently English powsr wh'ieh mode the glory of the' Swifts and Sterncs and Additions, and vhich, sineo tho death of Charles [jamb. seems decidedly to have emi jrntcd to America. It is truo that the lissonances and inconguitics which a; icvere taste migliUp even in; the sele)ratcd essays of the seventeenth and sighteonth ccnturlfcfe, 0,0 cxagerated fpon this now soil, where it seems hat all; "the., seeds,,. from whatever loured they come, germinate and de-" rolop with a sort of fury. ' In the \fest, especially humor, unler the influence of the mixture of aces and of the more energetic than efined dashes of the mining populaion, sensibly deviates from the Engfuh fivnmnln U. rf?9nflnds often ;hrough ali the shades, from the most iharacleas neulogism to ihe most vulvar exaggeration. The witty animaion of Mark Twain, thq genius of-a 3retllarte, have succeeded, nevej;thcess, in ennobling this incipient, still mrbarous literature. Of this we lave already given the proof.

Ji Fire at Orangeburg., [.Special to the Union-Herald]. Orangebubo, January 5/? About 1:30 this morning a fire broke out in the kitchen in the rear pf Cart mill's store, on .Russell street, and communicated to the store, and from therice tho fire rapidly spread to the buildings adjacent. As near as can be ascertained, the fire was caused by a lighted candle, which the colored girl employed by Cartmill left burning in tho kitchen. Tho flames commimifiLtfifl to tho wall naner, and soon the kiichou was in a blazo. It was discovered by the driver and passengers of tli8 ' omnibus belonging to Aleroney's hotel, which was going to the up train. Citizens fapidily congregated, but tKejr efforts to .quench the flames were all unavailing, ^ On account of tho narrowness of the strcot the fire communicated to the buildings on the othci* bide, and then^pssiug back, soon started the whoJo blo'ck. Some efforts were made by somo of the citizens to havo one of the smail bailings blown up, bat all scorned bo confused as not to be ablo lu. realize the benefit of such .a a proceeding. Store after storo blazed up, and before 3 o'clock botb Bides ol the street fwere consumed, with only ; two exception's?the store of I). Louis, on the s'outhcarft corner, and that pccgjjjed by l^irley, on the southwest corner,"being saved. In addition tc Che stores pn Hussell street, the buildins occupied by J>jrk Ifabinson as a 3^kivAtMAl-and the o&M-yji Oranrpbutgitlfexos was~entlveiy ' troyed. In addition to the stores and dwell nnr bouses numerous Out-buildings, o ? . _ ehoda and stables wera burned. Very few of the stores were insured. Many men lost everything even their wearing apparel. Some ifew. savod their stock. Mr. Merony of the hotel, savod all of his furniture, bedding, etc., and his piano. Hit hplel being the last to catch fire, gave liim time to remove everything There was no loss of life, eithor ol men or live stock.
