DESTILUCTIVE FIRE ! Oc>Ic 1%Z'o-uxn1t 5Esion' I]1q JiOUTWS I I With a sorrowful heart we an bounco tho destruction by fire of thia venerable old Institution. About 4 o'clock on Sunday after noon, just as the scveral congrega tions had assembled for worship, the alarm was given, and a dense volume of smoko told too plainly thunt the Collego building was the cause of the uryof fire. Of course all the town turned out. Whito and colored worked nobly to save whatever could be gathered from the ruins. Tears flowed, and eyes glistened with that, which melts sorrTow, from and of those who in the shuook of war faced hooming cannon with nerves of steel. "Great God !" was the exclam-a tion wo heard from the lips of those who are not acoustomed to use that )iriso in al irreverenit manne11110r. It would be impossible to give the nities of all who aided inl the rescue of private property (belonging to Mr. Wood wa rd, the Principlal,-to Mrs. and Miss Brittingham, tenants of the East Wing, and to the students), as The personal effects of Mrs. and Miss Brittingham wero saved, at. a great risk, by W. A. Morrison, our postmastor, and Thomas -Jacobs, a col. ored man. Tho excitemient was tre Inindous, when theso two, one after tile other, asoended the ladder to the second story window, and entered the room above which the raging flames and falling timber hung, awfully threatoning. As for omiself, we turn 0(1 awaty from tihe soone0 with an excla tmat ion weohad(1never used bofor'e. The huge building roared wvith un quenchable flame uintil lato after dar'k. The four groat columns that sup portcd thte portico, eacht had at nine o'clock a t night, a lenping, brilliant flame cap. ping its top, wih ichl tadded to tihe dolo ful darkness thlat environedi the old1 classic wails.

To Mr. Woodward, both as a oiti rion and as the presiding oflier of Nlounmt Zion, inl behalf of this whole ommun ity, we tender our dloopost tymupathmy. Thme friends of thme Intltitutionu who tre at present patrons, may rest assumr id that the exercises of the school will till be contitnued. Every effort will )O used to secure a proper building or thme exercises of the school.

Bunt-we are reminded that this Isno limo to exhaust the patience of the eador with a history of dear old fount Zion.

A. Bolles, ., I Agent of the American Biblo Society, would address the meting. L The Rev. Mr. Bolles did add ress the n meeting, and gave a most interesting statement of the work accomplished f and anticipated by the American Bi ble Society. The addross of MIr. Bolles was full of interest, and we only wish there 0 - had I cell more of our community out, 01 who were interesked in the spread of the Bible, who could have heard his stateIImints.

A Noticeable Event. h4 The Firemen of Charloston, on the 27th, celebrated their 29th Annual t V Parade and Inspection, of which the . City papers give a full account.

Ex-Provisioual Governor Porry and Re coustruotion. We republish from the Columbii 1%hanix a letter from Governor Perrj in regard to the matter of Reconstrue Lion. This is a remarkable produc tion. G(v. Perry published in th< Charleston Courier, in 1860, t Mos able and claborate argument to prov that the election of Lincoln to l4 Presidency would not be a justifiabl< caus for Secesion. We opposed Mr' Perry, and yet we regarded that argu iit as the muost con vincing we ll( ever Seen. Wo accord Mr. Perry great fore sight inl the positioni lie then assilled and giant., that if we had followed hi advico then, we might have been bet ter oil. But thero is a tremendous diflicul ty just here. Was,; it-that war--no inevitable ? W'o boasted of the in stitution of Slavery. But was it no an obstacle in our way. We neve saw peace for thirty years during iti existence. We did restrict agitatioi upon it once, by adopting the Mis souri Compromise. But we of tl, South repealed, or at any rate, aider in the repeitl of that compromise which involved a quichis to the ques tion of the African race. There were abuses, it is true, in th history of that institution, and if eve we felt that we could cheerfully aban don our position in regard to Slaver) it was when Wo saw piarenits and ch il dron ruthlessly torn asunder, and sen in Opposite directions. For one we to day do not regre that the African race in our Stat has been emancipated. . We, therefore, are prepaired to say With Mr. Perry, that we have no u1 kind fcolings towards the Africa race. But let us Comve rigdt down to ti substance of Glov. Perry's letter to th Pl/oaenic. It may be proper to state here tha this letter is the secoid one( Iblish ed by Mr. Perry siine tho passage o whamt are comlunly kiowi as the It construction acts. it his first lette Mr. Perry tiok tile general positio that South Caroli na 111ust preveit an Conveition b)ir.g held under thos acts of Congre. With at view to at complisih this lie advised every one t vote "No Convent ion." some. arguments to provo thz4t hI former a d vice is the part (if wisdom. The firist pr'osition of Mr. Perry i one which si'pri'es u1:4, Coming as i does from so able a. man. Ile assume that we are '"going to en franchise 60 "000 black votas, and surrender ti "political power of the State into th "hands of the nereroes." Is it not very strange that Mr. Per ry says we, the people of Sou th Car hina,ar'e going to enfranchise what vic tory aga inst us in a terrible war ha done. It is niot "we" who arc en franchiisinmg ; that thing is a p'art a the result of our defeat. We fough to mainita in the C1onst itut ion miakin1 this a White Man's Govern ment We went to war upon that i:ssne We left the issue with the decision o thme sword against us, and we have ii good faith accepted that decision. I par't of' that decisin is, that the negr< is no longer a slav'e, 4, e. a commodity but lie is a member of societyv. Ru Society forms Government, iind in I Demiocratic Society it is maintaine< that thoe majority must rule. The v'ery acknowledgment that th< negro is not a slave, is equivalent t< the one that lie is a citizen, and bein1 a citizen hie must be entitled to en I'ranchisoment. Now Mr. Perry assuimes that th< "60,000 black votes" will be consoli dated against tho "410,000 whit< votes." He also assumes that a refusal or the part of those 40,000 voters to enai their votos for a Convention, wil: rrustrate the purposes of tho parth in power to carry out their policy ii regard to the ten exoluidedl States. We deny most emphatically botth Lhose asstumptions. Mr'. Perry reasons most abstraeth wrhen lie denies virtually thle influenec >f the whites over the blacks in til Btate. 'There is a unity of self'-inter' ist among both whiteo and black that nill uinquestionably secure a unity in loliticalI interest. It is simply absurd to say that those two interests will part company ibsolutely, when it comes to a ques. ion of votimg for representation. These eommnonts we must olose for his time ; but we propose to continue hem as the subioot-matter of Mr. ~orry's lettev, and the ability of ho author domand that some1 effort houild beo-made to noutralivse the influ nee his arguments are calculated to zert. We are glad to say thant, so far as re know, Capt. T1. WV. Woodlward andl few others of this Distriet, are all rho are disposed to eudorse Mr'. 'erry... Unavoidably we are p revcenbed from uiblishhig Mxr. Perry's letter In this
