IWCKN?rA~MT?rri~A TKRBIBLB CON FI, ACHATION NAM BOW Ii Y KS CA PK?. Oo Thursday morning last, about 8 o'clock, flames of fire were discovered bursting from the shingles ot tho old Sumter or China Hotel building-near the centre and highest point of the roof, and where the two arjd three story parts of tho bouse (the old and new) are conncoted. It was a moment of terrible alarm, and of imminont danger to well-nigh tho ontiro business part of our flourish? ing town. The building is large entirely of pine wood, and almost os combustible as a tinderbox. Two of tho front rooms (second story) of the houso aro oeoupied by Dr. W. J. WIENOES, as a Dental office, and Maj. W. F. DEKNIOHT, Internal Revenue Assessor. Two stores on the front ground floor, by Messrs. L. P. LORI NO, Hardware, and J. SCHWERIN Clothing. The centre, (first floor) also occupied by Mr. T. J. TOOMEY, as a restaurant and billiard roora. With these exceptions, tho building WSB unoccupied-not being now kept as a hotel. As before remarked, it was a momcni of great alarm. In (ruth, for a few moments,, the fearful conviction seemed to seize hold upon all who were wit? nesses of the scene, that the houi (so long dreaded) of' Sumter's fier) visitation had arrived-the extent anc situation of this hotel building beinf such that the burning of it must neces? sarily be followed by a wide-spread con flagration. But now the promptness, efficiency and practicability of our noble fire de pur tm cn t is so forcibly demonstrated as ti bring praises of it from every lip. Wit! a readiness of action which wc do no think has ever been excelled-especial ly under circumstances so full o causes for oxoitement-the fire-destroy ing machino ir* brought to bear, and th< beautiful "Eagle," but so reoentb extolled in our columns, speaks, ia he action, loudor words of praise than anj to which our pen bas given utterance ID a moment, almost, it seemed, fron tho alarm, she is delivering death dealing strokes, into the very vitals o the destroying monster. With a quiet perception of the strategy of the situa tiou, thc hose pipe is gallantly carnet up through the building, and into tin attic of the third story, and in quid time is scuding its powerful stream o water iuto the main nest and volume-? iii? fire. And soon the shouts that rem thc air and fill the streets, tell that th flames have been subdued. It was on of those remarkable instances, in whid a terrible calamity is suspended in th mo>t prompt and vigorous improvemen of a few moments of time, aud thos moments are successfully employee All honor to tho Sumter Firemen. It is a matter of serious ennscquene to know that this fire was clearly an without doubt the work'ofan incendiary Several pieces of the lightwood, such a is carried in bundles about our stree! for sale, wcro found in immediate pros inti ty to thc spot were the fire originate -immediately under tho roof, an where, ordinarily, no person would gi A dastardly, fiendish plot to destroy ot prosperous town. There should now be redouble vigilance on the part of our ton authorities. Our police should bo moi watchful, and, if possible, their numb? should be increased. Arrangement too, should be made, so that all tl larger bells of our town would prompt! sound tho alarm, The small bell usc for thc town is totally inadequate f< this purpose. Thero must be son means by which the people, and e racially the firemen, may bo aroused. Tho colorod firemen exhibited a zc and energy on that occasion whit justly merits praise, which wo do n hesitato to accord. But they huvo i unreliable machino, and, until provide with a better one, can rondcr but litt actual scrvioe as firemen. An effo should bo made to procure an engit for thom, and wo trust our citizci generally will giyo them a helpit hand. We are pleased to see that subscription paper for this purposo h been put in circulation. Tens of thoi sands of dollars wero saved to the Ii mir,mee Compartios by the efficiency the Fire Department, and those- Cot pan jes oan well afford to give us Hbo subscriptions toward the outfit another engine.

Tho Columbia Guardian is informed that tho party calling himself HARRIS, reported as having bought tho placo known as High Shoals, five miles from thc village of Anderson, and other property, for tho purposo of erecting a ootton and wool faotory, turned out to bo a swindlor. Ho bargained for tho property mentioned-tho titles to nil of which wero mado out, but tho money was not paid. Meanwhile tho party borrows, without scourity, $1,800 in monoy from Col. J. W.
