The politjman was still carrying iny wife in l&arms. We passed into the dining-rjmi, stumbling over chairs and against tables in the dark. The policemar’s idea was to take us around bl the rear of the office so that we nilghlreach the staircase from the other emjof the house, but there we found oilrselves cut oft’ again, and again hif| to retrtat. “It seJned as if retreat was imi>os- sible.

We jumped upaud ran out. We found most all the girls screaming and running about as if they were crazy. The hall was full of smoke and very hot. Nobody had come to wake us or give anv alarm. We all ran toward the south end of the long hall which opens out toward the staircase, but we were driven back by the smoke and the beat. We began to be suffocated, and some of the girls fell in a faint. Some ot us went into one of the rooms that looked out into the alley and broke out the window to get air. We could see men down below looking up, but nobody seemed to be doing anything to help us. The smoke grew thicker and the air grew hotter. SUFFOCATED AT HER FEET. “I supposed the other girls were standing up heiore me. As nobody said anything I looked around, but the smoke was so thick 1 could not. see anybody. I went to the door and looked out into (lie hall and could see no one. It seemed as if I was alone iu-Ujo'brriJding. I turned to to the window to breathe, and as 1 d!d so I fell over something. 1 felt around on the floor and found all the girls who had been with me lying there, seeming to he suffocated. I got back to the window and called to the men below to do something. 1 could see girls jumping out of other windows or hanging to the window siils till they fell dead to the ground below. HELP IN SIGHT. “All of a sudden a man on the roof of a building across tiie alley put a ladder across to my window and called to me to go over. I stooped down and tried to wake the other girls, but they did not stir. Then the man came across the ladder and took up one of the girls and carried her across. Then I went over and the man carried some of the others out. If the other men below,had had as much sense as that one, more ladders might have been put across into other windows and a A SPLENDID SHOWING. ; WHAT CHAHLKSTt)N HAS DONE SINCE THE WAIL An Array of Facts ami Figures which Should Forever Silence Ill-nutured Misrepresentation. [Charleston News and Courier.] In order to appreciate how much has been accomplished by the people of Charleston in the last seventeen years, it is necessary to recall to public mind the condition of the city and low coun try at the close of the war. In December, 1861, Charleston re ceived a staggering blow. An acci dental fire which broke out on tlu Cooper River swept across the city, laying waste 540 acres of ground, aiid destroying about 2,500 houses. The amount of the loss was from $5,000,000 to #7,000,000, and it was said, at the time, that this great fire caused “pov erty to wring its hands in agony.”— During the seige of Charleston con siderable damage was done to the city. It is true that only a small number of building'* may have been reduced to put in onier. j ruins by the shelling, but there were i no superiors i few houses or puhiio.^Hiildings of note | which escaped altogether. When the | city was evaeuatad by the Confeder ates in 1865, there was further less of property. Worse than this, about 150 men, weinen and children were killed or perished in the flames, when the Northeastern Railroad depot was blown up. The buildings in an area VOLUME 2.—NO. 15. States census of 1860, the whole val ue of the manufactures in Charleston, at that time, was $ 1,064,715. Last year the value of manufactures in Charles ton was over $8,000,000. This, of course does not include the products of the Charleston Cotton Factory* with its capital of half a million dollars, which has just been completed; nor does it include the products of the Electric Lighting Company, and of the Stoney Landing Lime Company, which have since been established with Charles ton capital. The general work of reconstruction has g tie on rapidly. Sullivan’s Is land was little more than a range of sand hills when the w’ar ended. It Is now covered with handsome dwellings all of which were erected with Char les .1 capital. The city itself has been built up that but few vestiges of the great fire remain. Doubtless, ev ery vacant lot would Imre been built upon, but for the fact that building sites could be obtained more cheaply' in the northern sections of the city.— Rapidly are residences reaching out along the Meeting street and King street roads.

S. A.

The hall was tilled yvith an imrnediul mpeiietrable smoke, which *iy filled his room, forcing him to clrtse the door. He then gath ered up h s clothes and went into the hall, gro[ mg about uutil he found the way Tear ng to the bank building. Continui g, he said: “I look d back upon the Newhall, a dark hiking mass of smoke envel oping it,i with now and then lurid gleams lighting up the opaque cloud. The seem' was a frightful one. After The Burnside Estates Produce 7,500 Hogsheads. The sugar crop of Louisiana has ex ceeded very largely any crop since the war. Two and a half to tiiree hogs heads per acre has been an average on many large estates of six or eight hundreds acres cane each. "Some of the best cane has yielded as much as 4 to 4h, hogsheads. (By hogsheads is meant the “commercial hogshead” of 1,000 pounds, though most planters put in 1,200 to 1,400 pounds to save hogsheads, cooperage and freight, &c) On the ten “Burnside Estates,” now the property of Mr. Oliver Beirne, of Virginia, the total crop will be nearly seven million five iiundred thousand pounds, say 7,500 hogsheads, and the crop on one place was lost by the over flow. But for this the crop would probably have reached 8,500,000 lbs.; molasses 12..000 to 14,000 barrels. The sugar, if put in barrels and placed in a straight line, from end to end, would reach over eleven miles, and the mor tSs-Ws /Tt'Ufs is enough to man and child iii Charleston with 150 pounds apiece, and every inhabitant of Columbia with 750 pounds each.

[Lexington Dispatch.] The North may just as well recon cile itself to the fact that the South is destined to supremacy in this Repub lic. Her resources are the greatest, her traditions the proudest, her daugh ters the purest, her sous the pluckiest, and her political convictions the soun dest to be found within our borders.— Her recuperation since the war af fords the grandest spectacle in human history. Her growth is steady and sure. She is not in need of the expe dients that other sections have re sorted to to promote their growth.— Her resources are becoming more and more apparent to the world from year to year, and she can all but gaze into the splendid future that awaits her.— There was a time when her people were on the verge of despair,'but the spirit of the true Southerner asserted itself, and proved that there w as life and will in the old land yet.

A few nights ago she got into a cornfield | and filled herself so ..ull of provender of four squares in the neighborhood 6f the Northeastern Railroad depot were burnt down. The value of the property destroyed was several million dollars. There was trouble enough, and difficulty enough, in what the flames and the bombardment had done; but this-was not the worst of the situation. The Bank capital' of Charleston in I860 was #14,000,000, and the whole of this vast sum was blot ted out by the downfall of the South ern Confederacy. In course of time, the notes of some of the hanks regain ed a certain measure of value, but when the Confederate soldiers who had gone forth to Virginia and to the West to light for the State, and for the South, returned to their homes, in those sad days in 1865, they found their beloved city in ashes, and the w hole of the commercial capital of the city changed like fairy gold into worthless paper. There was little or no money in the city, and there was no way to increase it. The railroads leading in to Charleston were worn out and unfit for active use, even where they had not been torn op as the South Caroli na Railroad was. There was no gleam of hope anywhere. The wdiarves were decaying fast. Grass was growing in the principal -streets. There was no rift in the cloud. No hand was stretch ed out to help the “Cradle of the Re bellion.” When Richmond was de vastated by fire in 1865 Northern capi tal was lavished upon the picturesque city, and the burnt district was speedi ly covered with buildings far superior in style and size to those which had crumbled before fiery breaths in the great conflagration. Northern capi tal was sent freely to Savannah, and it was bestowed ungrudgingly upon Atlanta. The people whom the North, )l thcfc djiys. could not fond vz were the people orCimrlestor. The one Southern city which the North was unwilling to aid was the city where the Ordinance of Secession was passeil and where the first gun of the war was fired. Charleston was left to her own resources, as no other city of the South was left. Where could the people of Charles ton turn for comfort, for hope, for daily bread? The low country, which had been the principal source of revenue to the merchants and dealers of Char leston, was utterly desolate. The wild birds built their nests where grace and culture and hospitality had reigned. The rank weeds hid from view the flower-bordered paths where the feet of Carolina women and children, now refugees in distant districts, had light ly pressed the ground. All along the coast the freedmen were supreme.— Nothing remained but the ruins of the empire of intelligent industry and well used wealth. The low country had nothing to give Charleston, yet out of the riches of her poverty Char leston gave to the Sea Islands and the low country, in general, nearly every- { thing that remained to her. It was I rightly judged that it was all impor-j taht to revive, if practicable, tbe pros- j perity of the low county. In the en- j deavor to compass this, Charleston j lost, in the course of a few years, a t very considerable part of what com- ! mereial capital had been saved from ) the war. We exaggerate nothing. It is not I in our heart, or mind, to make the sit-) nation seem a shade blacker than it was. It is hardly possible, however, for any city to have been in a more desolate condition than Charleston was in 1865. The estimated value of the real and personal property in Char leston Distriet in I860 was $65,648,736. It is not an extreme estimate to say that one-half of this amount was ut terly lost as a direct consequence the war. no superiors In the r-outn. T’aTffiTW machine shops are hi active operation. The Bagging Factory sends out its goods to every part of the South. A system of water works has been built, and the greater part of the city is sup plied with artesian water. Charles ton has a paid Fire Department in the highest state of efficiency, and the wa ter works furnish the means of extin guishing fires rapidly before they have made any serious headway. The streets have been paved for miles with stone blocks. No city south of Balti more has streets as well paved as King street and East Bay street in Charles ton. The telephone is more generally used in Charleston than in any other Southern city, and the stores on the principal streets are brilliantly illu minated with the electric light. The schools of the city have been increased in number and inefficiency. During the past ten years Charleston has paid for public schools about three-quarters of a million dollars, of which amount $.14f ,602 was derived from the special tax levied on city property. There were in the city public schools last year, 4,014 pupils, and the expenses amounted to #59,320. The city finances have been managed admirably of late years, and a reduction of a million dol lars in the principal of the debt is of ficially reported. In every direction there has been a solid and permanent advance, and without going further into details, we feel that we have made good the assertion which the Columbia Reyister ignorantly derides. Charleston can afford to compare re cords with any town or county in South Carolina, and, taking into con sideration the losses and peculiar dif ficulties of Charleston, no other Southern city has done more or ac complished more in a given time! Our Columbia cotemporary is satis fied, we hope, that we did not speak hastily or thoughtlessly, and it will admit, we trust, the justice of what we have said. The Reyister claims to be the friend of Charleston; but it acts 'as only an unrelenting enemy should it act. It is, however, never too late to mend, and the iPegr/sfer may ultimate- ly see the error of its ways, and aban don the idea that it can do good toTfie State, or even lessen its own unpopu larity, by defaming and misrepresent ing Charleston. The State is for all the p-^e^^'f South Carolina, and all the people of South Carolina should work, and talk, and think for the ben efit of the State. There is no help for us, when one part of South Caro lina assails another part, and newspa pers, whether representative or not, take pleasure in railing at a South Carolina city. No good can possibly come of it; and much harm must and will ensue, if a jjolicy of sectional de famation be persevered in by news papers in the State, and these news papers go unrebuked by their readers. —The feat of George Hutchins, a Boston fireman, will bring him a medal. It was performed at the burn ing of a gun store, described the other day by telegraph. It was impossible to "keep the people far from the build ing, although they were told it con tained explosives." The fireman learn ed just where the stock of powder was kept, and Hutchins volunteered to go in after it. He dimed through a win dow, got down on his kne#s, and crept toward the spot to which he had been directed. The smoke was stifling and blinding. His hands touched the huge copper box, and he carried it out. Again he vent back for the remaining box. The copper burned bis fingers, and, as he sprang out, the flames fol lowed him, but the powder was safe under a powerful stream of water. —The question, “How long is it nec essary to keep children away from school after an infectious disease?” was answered some time since by the Academy of Medicine, Paris.
