BURNS, of Edgefield District, Deep grief rests on these once happy hom holds; fora bright flo wer h os hoon suddenly snatt cd away by the cruel hand of Death, to bloom Eternity. JENNIE,.the gentle, and pure-hearti Hs gone from us. Her voice is hushed on Eai ?rever. The place that knew ' her will knew li no more. Nothing can fill the aching void ma in tho now desolate home-eirole. Scarcely li fte years of unclouded sunshine, has she trod Hf pathway, endearing herself to all hy her mai beautiful traits of character. Tho world w bright before her; and just advancing to werna hood, she gave promise of being an. ornament the little circle in which.she moved. The favori of her schoolmates, she walked among them u conscious of the love they bore her. Long, lon will her memory be dear to us. May Ho enab the bereaved to say, " Thy will be done." .

S. and MARY A. Il A UKI SOS the subject of-this brief notice, was born Marci 21st 1845, and enlisted for the war in tho above named Company at the time of its organization when he was scarcely more than IC years of agc He served his country most faithfully upou th Coast of South Carolina, in the Virginia, Mnrylam and Pennsylvan' - campaigns, abd in tho Wost. A. a Soldier hp wx_choerful, brave and prompt-evci ready and willing to discharge his duty. It i. onihgh to say that ho belonged to KERSHAW'; Brigade, LONGSTREET'S Corps,'and as a soldior o such a command has ever acquitted himself witt honer. At the battle of Cbickamanga his gallan try was such as to wi? tho admiration of all wb< witnessed it. In a heavy skirmish near Knoxville on the 13th of Nov. last, while nobly fighting'foi Southern rights he fell dead, pierced through tu? right breast and left thigh. Endowed with enorgy and perseverance, h< . had only to havo lived to hare made for himsell a name and left an impression of his worth which the lapse of years could only have t-fl'aced ; but he was cut down in the very bloom of youth, when the qualities which characterized the man were just hoing fully developed. It grie>es the writer to think how inadequate the use ol tho pon must of necessity bo when -an attempt is made to do justice to tho memory of one so gifted, gallant and noble. He has loft behind him, fond parents, an affec tionate sister and two youthful brothers, to whom we oiler our sincere sympathies. A short time previous to the departure of his Regiment from Virginia te go to Chattanooga, he sent tho accompanying farewell, address to his parents, whom ho so devotedly loved, in which be so tenderly tolls them that if it bo God's will that be shauld fall in the dofence of his country he was ready te make the sacrifice. Farewell to thee father.' although I am young, I go the war's wild ahiruis, Our country to save, from oppression and wrong, Or dh; with my comrades iu arms. . Farewell, father, dear 1 I may never again Fondly gaze on those locks thin and gray ; But if ia the conflict of battle I amelaiu, To meet thee iu'Heaven I pray. FareweU to thee, itiotbor! No love is like thine, So lasting, so deep and so pure ; And J trust, through the goodness of Providence, To re tern t3 thy besom seeure. Farewell mother, door ! If I die far way, Thy heart will be grieved for thy son, But God will sustain thee, and cause thee to say, " Thy will, Righteous Father, be done." Farewell to you, brothers too ! Dear little boys, You know not tho meaning of foe ; May God make me strong in defence of thc cause, And save you, my brothers, from woe. Farewflh wy dear brothers I Re loving and good, And mind what dear mother may say ; Your brother will come back if best that he should, For God can his enemies slay. Farewell, sib*ar, dearQjjtbcn I think of fae wrong, The fiends would inflict if they could, * I can scarcely refrain from polluting my tongue, With a curse on the black-hearted brood. ' Farewell, my dear sister! may God k?cp you puro, Surrounded, wit)} comforts and friends, . And blest with the'graco that alone eau secure, The bliss that We kuow never ends.

Extensive Fire. * ? most disastrous fire occurred in Columbia yesterday, by wE?cli property-, to the amount, of several millions of dollars was speedily de stroyed.* ltsr. cause /remains unknown.' It -bro?ce out about 10 45 a. m., iu the central cotton shed of the square-on Lady street next toAJezander'8 foQiidry.?id machiw shops, [and^'apidrj -spread to tho two "other sheds.on the same square and almost as rapidly leaped j the space ol thu street separating it from,.the square next above to the east. On the squaro first named, all the buildings "contaming cot ton and one containing two- steam engines, eight or ten sugar mills, a'gfist mill and cast ings were destroyed. Tho cotton was stored by J. M.- Blakely & Co., the mills, &e.,- bo- ! longed to John Alexander. One building fronting the south 05. thi3 square was saved by great exertions and by ? the energetic and prompt assistance of Capt. Senn and bia com pany" of eighty men. Their conduct, bas been the theme of much praise. It was a diflicult feat to save this building enveloped as it was ! by others in full conflagration on flie west, north and cast of it, and near to it. Acot ton shed' on the square above and several res idences were consumed. This cotton was also stored byvBlakely & Co. Two of the dwell ings belonged to T. D. Feaster. Capt. Causon was a heavy sufferer-losing his dwelling and out houses, furniture, and valuable stores of | provisions,-a considerable quantity of fice, pickled beef, pork and eight killing hogs. Later in the day, about 3,30 p. m.,. the flames extended to the cotton.shed owned by J. G. Gibbes, on the western corner cf the gas work's lot. The building and 500 bales upland cot ton were soon past recovery. " Surprise has been expressed at the loss of this building. It is thought, that, at least, the cotton might have been saved. It is estimated that 3,750 bales, of upland and 800 bales of sea island, in the hands of j Blakely & Co.. and 500 bales of upland, be longing to Mr. Gibbes, is aSoutrthe amount of the loss of cotton. We have not learned the extent ot insurance, except that there was none on the cotton of Mr.. Gibbes, and that Mr. Hitt is a loser (having no insurance,) to the amount of $10,000, on a lot of cotton stored with Blakely & Co. ? Mr, Alexander's loss will probably equal $50,000. We have no doubt that many persons have lost con siderably, and that the greatest' loss, though it may be nominally less than those mention ed, ha3 fallen upon persons who . have been dispossessed of home and its comforts. Different conjectures have been expressed as to tho clause of tho fire. A rigid scrutiny ought to be instituted into it. We have heard casually that an attempt was made by an in cendiary to firo the workshop and mill of I Mr. Tozer, during the height and fury of | tho conflagration. Our people cannot bs too watchful. We should haye mentioned before thabour firemen were promptly on thc spot, and did all that zeal, energy and sltill could effect to extinguish the flames- The fire was peculiar ly angry and uncontrollable in its character, owing to 'the high wind prevailing, and the combustible material it fed upon.-?-Columbia Guardian.
