EDGEFIELD C. 1!. THURSDAY, MAY 3. 1838. ERRATA.--I some of the impressions of our last paper, the word aliment in the edi torial column was made to read element. The destructive fire in Charleston of which we give some account to-day, will awaken the deepest feelings in our renders. As yet we are in ignorance of the amount of misery and distress which must be caus ed by itj The pecuniary loss must be im iense; an many there are who have been reduced from a condition of ease and coi fort, to a depth of poverty from which time will not recover them. Since writing the above, we have learnt from a stage passenger, that the fire was ar rested on Saturday afternoon, and that from '11 to 1200 houses were supposed to have .been burnt. We have but one reflection at -present, to make upon the melancholy en -tastrophe. Here indeed is a fine occasion for ti. display of that liberal charity for which we know our District is not deficient. The rich should open their purses aud free - ly give of their abunhmce to help the widow and orphan, and ther, are few among ts so destitute, as to be unable to aid in this truly holy work. As our paper was !joing to press, the Au gusta Sentinel was placed in our hands, contaiting a minute account of the fire, from the Charleston Courier. We can only now give the following pnrticulars. The loss of property is estimated at three millions of dollars, of which about half is piobably insured-the splendid edifice, the new Ilotel, was insured to the amount of $100,000. Many lives were lost-Colonel Charles John Steedmuan, Naval officer of the Port, ono of the most useful and en terprising citizens of Charleston, a Mr. Schnierle, a Mr. Monroe, a Mr. Brown, and some colored persons. We are glad to see that the newestores in the old burnt district escaped with but little damage. We return our thanks to Capt. Parker for his communication, which we publish this week. If our readers will permit us to judge the matter, we have no hesitation in expressing the humble opinion, that our Correspondent is engaged in one of the most interesting and useful departments of scientific investigation. It has been said "that the face of heaven is an unfailing in dex, and upon it can be read times and seasons." Though Meteorology is one of the most natural of all the sciences, yet it is true that there is a lamentable ignorance * ihiNatetp nd ebetfew con rir tively of its principles are known even to the intelligent and well informed. Who has not seen the hutmblo husbandman ox hibit a foresight in reference to changes of weather which seemed almost prophetic, and who has not heard of the experienced mariner who saw in "the face of heaven" the premonitions of the gathering storm! Who can estimate the advantages which will flow from a more accurate knowledge of the principles of Meteorology, and who wildare say that this knowledge is tunt tainable ! Until of late years but little at tention has been directed to the subject, atnd so little regard has been htad to principles, that the "weather-wise" unnable to impart their knowledge to others, had it to die with them. But the dasy of neglect has now } passed away. The cultivators of physical science throughout the world, have awoke to a sense of its importance, and in our own country a plan has been dlevised, which if carried out, promises the richest resttlts. It is with pride we record tIt some of the States of our Union have made appropria tions for its prosecution, and we would like - to see others imitate the good example. Mr. Espy, a man of science and particu arydistinguisheud for his valuable contri butions to this department, is nowv in Wash iton lecturing our Congress upon the sub ject, and we were pained t'o see the bad -taste of some members who thought the oc casion a fit otno for smart sayings & ridicule. This, we conceive, is not the age for such conduct. There was a time when dlarknss, hikdarkness overspread the earth; when the most ordinary phenomena were believed to be hid in the deep purpoeses of the Al mighty, or were the mysterious workings of some mighty Demon who reigned ascen. dant for the season. History tells us that the Demon Typhuon, was in the opinion of the ancient Egy ptians the cause of all physict,l evil, & the Gireeks adopting the superstition, made this giant spirit break up the deep foundations of the earth, and with the arm of onnhipotentce hurl the mnclting motuntains tr :,e highest heavens. Modern science is dispelling these gross errors anti bringing to light the mighty agents which are at work in the laboratory of nature, and judging from its many glori ous triumphs in Chemistry, Astronomy, Geology and other departments, we see ntac howv any one can set limits to its successes. It is no. impiety now, nor is if a useless work, to look into the causes of thunder and lightnintg, earthquakes, volcanoes, water sponts, or any of the wonders around us. When the immortal Franklin, with hi. ~ humble kite matde of two cross sticks and asilk handkerchief, wvent out upon the com mtaof P'hiladelthhia. to drazw tae ligA tni.g from Heaven, who can conceive the taunts and jeers, and smart sayings which were made at the expense of the mad Philoso pher. But "he did snatch the lightning from Heaven," established its identity with what was conceived to be another agent, and stranger than all, from a knowledge of its properties, brought it, to some extent, within tie control of man. What more hopeless, at first view. than this effort ofour great countryman, and what siigle act of his varied and useful life, has shed around his name a higher lustre. When Galvani first directed his attention to that strange principle, which has been called after him, Galvanism, who would have thought that a Davy would arise at a future time, and from a knowleder( of its laws demonstrate, that if a copper instead of an iron nail were used in fastening the up persheathing of a ship, the destructive ef fects of oxidation would be in a great mea sure prevented? But we have said more than we at first intended. Our simple purpose was, in a few words, to impress upon the reader the importance of physical science, and to de clare the opinion that no field holds out richer rewards than Meteorology. There is such a thing as telling before hand " which way the wind blows," and na ture speaks a language even in the most fickle of all things, a morning cloud. We wish Air. Espy success in his glorious cause. and are not ashamned to express the liumlle opinion, that the timne will come when rains an.d storms and teumpests and waterspouts, &c. &c. may be predicted with as nuch certainty as other natural phenomena. A long series of observations, conducted upon philosophical principles, will be necessary to bring this period to its full consummatton, but tie rapid advances which have already been mmade in a very few years, place the matter beyond question. Mr. Editor, On the night or the 22d of April about 30 minutes after 10 o'clock, a splendid plhe nomenon resembling a shooting star, ap peared ir the Constellation Hercules, com mencing a few degrees west of vega, Lyra, shooting in a perfectly straight line, and end ing abruptly in the remarkable nebula lie tween mu and zeta Hercules. The light was so brilliant as to throw around the spectator a glare equal to that of a candle. In its Right it exIibited the appearance of a ball of fire, whose rapid motion through space left a long luminous train behind. but the instant the ball stopped, the train, from the velocity acquired by the previous motion, was reversed by being projected beyond the ball or nucleus, forming two streams of diverging light, very much resembling the figure of the Comet of 1811. A bright streak near the point of explosion 8 or 10 degrees inl length, remained visible 50 or 60 seconds after the body had disappeared. There are some facts connected with this omenon wich, 1-think, distingiish it from the ordinary occurrence of falling or shooting stars, and from which I propose to offer a few observations. It is a general law of meteoric phenome na that in their Right they describe curved lines with a downward tendency to the earth; bult the motion of the body in ques tion was in a straight line diverging up wards fromn a line parallel to the plane of the hor-in, and forming with it an angle .of some 8 or 10 degrees. Trhe nebula or cluster of stars which, with the suddenuness, of thotmght, arrested its progress amid gradmu ally absorbed its light, is one of the most re markable int the Heavens. When view~ed through a good Telescope it exhibits au counim less numbher of stars crowed together in a space apparently not more than two or three timtes as large as that occupied by thme Moon. Now is it not probable that thme phmeinmenon of time 22d, wvas a Comet whose centre of attraction was some one or all of the stars composing thmis cluster, and by a ~raduial approach to it, and undergoing a consequent diminuion of centrifugal force, finally yielded to thme supemior attraction of thme great body to which it fell, and by w-hichi it was absorbed. Extravagant as this idea may senm, it is by no means at variance with the expressed opinions of sonme of the rmost distingunished modern Astronomers. Professor Encke, of Berlin, by a series of observations uponi the momtions and periodical returns of te Cotmet which bears his nanme, has discovered that at each successive reappearance, it is tneur er to thme Sun, of smnalier size and tmore feeble light. Sir John lerschell is of opin. iomn that Comnets are bodies of exceedingly small delnsity, and that their trains wvhichm are mmothinmg less titan portiomns of their masses throwt behiindl to the distance of umillions of miles by their rapid motion in spatce, are gradually detached and dissipated, & hence he accounts for their diminished size and splendor, wvhenm, by their greatcr approxi mnat'on to the Sun, it would seem their lighat and volume should be increased. And in remarkimng upon the phenomena of Encke's Comet, the same distitnguished Astronomer adopts the gemnerally received opintioni that, by the process of diminution which that Comet is unmder-goinig, and consequent di minuition of cemntrifugal force, it will ulti nmately fall to the Sun unless previously dissipated. Th at there are thousands of Comets un known to our system is inferred from te fact that countless mayriads of stars glitter itn the immntsity of space at a distanice so gm-eat as to require the aid of the best Teoles copes to discover them ; and as each star is sulia :ed to be like our own Suna, a self lunminous orb, it is limt rationial to conclude that it is the centre of attraction amnd source of light to other orbs, and lasa its planets and comets and othmer phenomena analagous to those of our solar system.

ON-: O'CLoCK, A. .l We have to delay our paper to a late :r this morning, on account ofa most dist-t it FIR E which has been sweeping resist h, ly all night through the very heart of ne ill fated city. Thto fire broke out at So eliffe's Bakery, corner of Swinton's Lam and King-st. in the West side of tile latter. at about half past 8 P. M. and burnt only a few buildings to the South and west of it. in which direction, owing to a south-west wind tle progress of the flatnes was arrest ed; but to the north, north-west, nortl-east and east, the fire was sweeping widely and furiously when we left the scen, and there is no saving how rar it has extended or where it will probably stop. Except one or two brick buildings iimediately where the fire commenced, it has swept every thing to the north east, as far as the corner of Meeting atnd Markct:strcets. It has cross ed Alecting-st. and was raging down the south side of AMarket-st. It had burnt up to and crossed Market-st on both sides of King street, and is still spreading to the North. The beautiful new Thcatre is purtly destroy ed. The scalblding and wood work of the new Masonic lall, at the Market was on fire when we left the spot. The loss to in dividuals and the insurance offices is im hibated to exhaustion, but it would lie im lossible for a hundred times their force to encounter successfully such a fire. Build ings in great number have been blown ill) duining the night until the supply of powder failed. We have not time, nor room at this hour for the distressing details, the niserable list of a hich is rapidly letngahening while we write, and (God only kniows where it wvil end.
