These gentlemen are at their popul?r stand still, and intend to ?dons they always have?evcrthing they can to benefit their customers. To get n nice artJclp iu their line, one must see Mr. Vose., Several contemporaries iu this Stata ?have been publishing of lato a notico to tho effect thatJndgo Cooko say.? that .all advertisoments, except those from ?county officers, may he published in any ipnper, and bo legal. By tho time two ?or throe good baptists get in troublo by following Judgo Co?kc's advice, our ?citizen.-, may think of getting up a ilaw ?school, Tho Ornngcburg News is tho 'o'fficial journal for this County, and .notices reriu i red tobe made publio by law, publifchcd in any othor paper, will ?not bo worth'a nieklo. Don't lot tho (people be fooled. Tho name of a mighty good young man was stricken from tho.church roll recent ly at this place- Tho minister who left his pulpit to do this, will net thcjpart of a true chrisi'ain to ask. of us the jiatncs of the places visited by some of his sanctimonious flock.

The'-.r o.tuse is a noble one, aud slrml.l be pudiol on by the christain part of our couiinutiity. The lire at Mr. V?ii Tassel's reminds us of these lines front Byron's "Siege of Corinth" : 'It rose, that chanted, mournful strain; Like some lone spirit o'er the plain : 'Twos musical; but sadly sweet. Such as when winds and harp-strings meet, Aud take a long unm.-asurod tone, To mortal min.tr.dy unknown. It soem'd to those within the wall A cry 1 ropbetic of their fall." y Mr. Vaji Tassel's loss is domestic, n it political, and calls forth wore sympa thy than curs can feid. ThoISuruiitg of County Auditor Tau Tassel's SImisc. On Tuesday morning last, about 2 o'clock, tho alarm of lire was given. As journalists it is our doty to publish things as they occur, and to note the ex pressions ul a cur d'ijr, provide J his cries have any significance whatever. The miserable and pusillanimous conduct of a lew skunks on that occasion de mands this passing notice,and will be approved, after a whilo, by tho so'jer judgement of tho people. We shall make a lair statement, an I that, too , with a conviction that wo h.ivj Truth to plead as our fjusti?c?tiu?. Tho raj niufiiucd, body-heed and rotten breathed portion of our community may think that we bhmlu Uoll o,ur poaej. Tlu gentlemen of tho Town do not agree with this thought. Cow.trli an 1 tlu r mangy associates may rej ice over the misfortune of a poor man an 1 his fami ly, but we believe that the expressed sympathy of the ro.il men ol Orangc burg has so far robbed oar hydroplijbi i - curs of their rabies, und their uttuiuptJ to bite, as to give moro of a haughty indifference to the patties injured thau any feeling of regret. What we mean by this is, that the ungenerous expres sions or utterances of curs, full harm less at the fuel ot those whoso loss so many rejoice over. As we said, about 2 o'clock the fire was discovered. Mr. Van Tassel, as our readers have already hceu iu formed, is in New I'urk on a visit, und uo one was iu the house but his wife, her mother und little sister. They first disovcrcd that theio was Qro by a peculiar scent, or thick atmos phere, pervading the room iu which thoy slept, and which got so strong, within a few minutes, as to rosult ul ubJt iu ren dering all in tho room perfectly stupid. Mrs. Van Tossol, her mother and little sifctor, had to jump from tho wiuJow in order to save their lives. They were so stupid that thoy could not have got away from tho flames had friends uottVj. - sisted them at onco to the house of Mr. ?Jonos. Two opinions prevail:. Otio that the inmates, wcro drugged, the houso robbed aud then set ou fire$ the other, that the fira was tho work of political ouomies of Mr. Van Tassel. Certain it is, that his loss is pretty heavy, for the rooms 'twere elegantly furnished, aud Mrs. Vau Tassel's Wardrobe ulotie was worth more than fifteen hundred dollurs, and tho furnituro, &o., more than two thousand dollars. So the statetuout of a contemporary is a littlo wrong. Besides all this, there was something ovor three hundred dollars, that Mrs. Van Tassel had iu her room, lo3scd. Her mother, who was ou a visit 'to her 'during the uSbscnec of Mr. Van Tassel, hud almost hdr entire wardrobe consumed, that too, with somo relics of of her husband that v. eru invaluable to her. But all is,gone, ?ud the liouuda who rejoice over Mr. Vau Tassel's mis fortune, aud that of his mother in law, may ljave a mortification, soon ngaiu, in seeing them independent.^ He is yet alive and cannot: be .scared by threats. To the 1'iro Companies1 we have to express the thanks of Mrs. Van Tassel ,aiid those of her mother. The Captain of the Commct Fite Company, Mr. Lewis Moss, acted like a man, and the conduct of its able Solio tor, and friend of .Mr. Van Tassel, Mr. Andrew V, Browning, will not be for got ton. For Mrs. V,iin Tussol, in concluding this article, we are requested to say that the iuanncr in which the parties acted, that, we shall name below, must receive her spcciulFjhaifjif : Drs. l'.ili<>:t ami Sail.7 gave c'crv at tin ?611 they possibly could to Mis Van Tassel. Drs. A. Salloy and his son, Dr. M. G . Salicy, are her attending physicians. To flic skill of th.-se two distinguished d ictors of medicine, Mrs V?n 'Fuss. 1 nuJ her mother owe,.per haps, their live:- ; for they were almost prostrate when pulled fron) the- flumes. To Mrs. Senator A ml rows, Mrs. Cha:lie Jor.es. and Mrs. Llrohcrt Jones, too much gratitude cannot be expressed .Messrs. Ojiurlia Jones, Hubert Jones. Wallace Cauuon, deserve especial notice Mr. M - A Urteilt and Mr J. G. Voso were active iH t'.eir friendship not only when the fire was going on, hut after wards. Mr. D. Louis had the kindness tu save the horse. Mr. Samuel Dibble ict'Hl, as is natural with him?the part of a man. After the fire, the conduct of the oc ommodating hostess of Meroney's hotel, Mrs. Annie 13. Mcronry, towards Mrs. Van Tassel was noble and heroic. Somit or Andrews, Messrs Geo. 11.diver, L"hailic Jones and Robert Joins arj inoti to be proud of iu any Community. Mr. Van Tassel has becu telegraphed for, and is expected home every day Mrs. Van Tassel an 1 mother are now at tho house of Mr J Felder Meyers. ouaxge/whc DTSTVtCT Confer ence?
