The house was fired in several places, and no doubt was the work of an incendiary. The News says: <6 This property belonged to Win. L. Henry, Esq., but was in the temporary occupancy of Mr. Terry. Mr. Henry's loss is estimated at 812,000, and not a dollar of it was covered by insurance. " These springs have been a very popu? lar summer resort for hundreds of low country people, and the destruction of the buildings will prove a loss to the whole surrounding country." -o Tho Proclamation of Gov. Ellis con? tained in the State Journal shows that tho official vote of North Carolina, (except that of Davie County, which was laot re? turned by the sheriff,) in the recent elec? tion, on the question of Convention or no Convention, wa3 as follows: For Conven? tion, 46,409; no Convention 46,603 j ma? jority against Convention 194. ?.-o-j Governor Magoffin of Kentucky, had his left arm broken, last Sunday, by tho upsetting of a stage coach at Harrodsburg, in that State. William H. Russell, the well known correspondent of the London Times, will, it is said, come to this country to describe men and things at the present'juncture. -4? The residence of Col. K. B. Knight, of Marietta, was destroyed by fire, last week, with nearly the whole of its contents. \ i From Washington. Washington, March 17.?The South era Commissioners anticipate a decisive answer to-morrow. If it should lie unfa? vorable, they will leave Washington im? mediately. Seward and Cameron fully appreciate the issue offered to them, and feei rather shaky about it. The impress? ion here is that, if tho C'omirissioners are j rejected, Fort Pickens will be immediate? ly attacked. It is believed that the troops will be withdrawn from Fort Sumler on Wednes? day next. But it is not yet ascertained taut any order has been issued by Lin? coln's authority in regard to the propos? ed surrender of Fort Sumter?an event, however, which is still considered inevita? ble, and soon to occur, owing to circum? stances beyond the Executive control. But. from what is already known, a for? mal surrender of the post is not anticipa? ted. The Confederate States, it is said here, have ton ships of war no v/con traded for and in course of construction. The Commission from Montgomery de? mands, I understand, tho surrender of tho Forts at Key West and Tortugas. A despatch has boon received from Commissioner Roman in Wilmington, en route for tins city. Ho will arrive to-mor? row afternoon. News received by telegraph to-day from Richmond indicates the passage of the Ordinance of Secession the coming week. The Stale is thoroughly aroused, [ and the politicians cannot much longer repress the sentiments of the people.? Special Dispatch to the Mercury. Washington, March 18.?The Execu? tive officials state to-day that no order has yet been issued for the evacuation of Fort Sumter. Others well informed, say that General Scott has been duly empow? ered to act in tho promises, and has issu? ed such orders. Samuel Archibald, Chief Engineer in the navy, and a citizen of Maryland, has resigned his position. Tho Commissioners of the Confederate States are awaiting a response to their communication to the President. Gov? ernor Romain is expected to arrive this afternoon. The Senate, to-day. debated Senator Douglas' resolution. Mr. Breckinridgc spoke in favor of it, and Mr. Hale against it. Mr. Bright presented a joint resolu from the Indiana Legislature, petitioning Congress to call a Convention of all the States, to consider the propriety of amend? ing tho Constitution. The Senate then went into executive session, and received the following nomi? nations : C. F. Adams, Abolitionist from Massachu? setts, Minister Lo England ; W. L. Day? ton, of New Jersey, (Abolition candidate for Vice-President in lS??.) Minister to France; Marsh, of Vermont, Minister to Sardinia; James Watson Webb, (fighting Black Republican Chevalier.) as Minister to Turkey. Dayton was confirmed.? Carolinian. - A Hice Little Bargain. The Yankees arc famous for making bargains. A petition to Congress is now in circulation in Boston for signatures for calling a convention of all the States in favor of a peaceable withdrawal of the Cotton Slates. Among the reasons and conditions in favor of tho establishment of their independence are the following: " That they 'be allowed to form any other government whith they deem best for their interest, provided that they de? clare freedom of navigation in the Missis? sippi river, and surrender all right to a a district of territory of six miles square bordering on tho Mississippi and opposite lo the city of Now Orleans, as a port of entry of the United States; and further ? that they resign all right and claim to participation of the territories now belon? ging to the United States j^ind in consid? eration of which all forts, custom-houses and other property of the United States, lying within the boundaries of the above named States, shall bo made over and sur? rendered to them." j Considering that there are a large tjtim? ber of forts and custom-houses already in the possession of tho seceded States'; and considering, too, that the seven States havo a good and valid title to their pro? portion of the vast public domain; and considering further, that the trifling con? cession of six miles square to permit a foreign and unfriendly power a foothold within our territory?the wholo project is rather amusing than otherwise. There is not the usual quantity of Yankee shrewdness visible in this proposal for l! a trade," and they must think the Southern Government to be composed of mon of very little sense to make such an offer with any hope of its being accepted.? Guardian. . -41 Retaliation.?The citizens of Panola, Miss., being dissatisfied with tho course of Memphis in the late election, aro now making arrangements to establish a reg? ular-line of steamers between that place and New Orleans to carry off their pro? duce. -? They are Passing Away.?Geo. W. Durst, a member of tha late Palmetto Regiment, and also of tho Company of '96 Boys, was drowned in the Canal, at Augusta, on the 4th of February, whilst engaged with others in repairing the new I water works in that city. Wi]t ^ttkrsan litMtigeitctr. THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 21, 1861. EDITED BY JAMES A. HOYT and W. W. HUMPHREYS. Horry Dispatch. We have received a copy of i.his recently estab? lished weekly paper, edited by Joseph T. Walsu, and published by Gilbert & Dare, Conwnyboro', S. C. Judging from the is?ue before us, we infer that tho talents of its editor, wi'd secure for it a popularity equalled only by its deserts. With great nlejsurc vre place :.t upon our exchange list. / ?-*- 1/ dpt. S. D. lae. It Trill be gratifying to the numerous friends of this gaUani officer to know that he has returned to his native State, and is now at his post in the Harbor of Charleston. Assigning him to the com? mand of a company, was but a worthy tribute to his worth, bravery, and efficiency; and reflects fa? vorably upon the discrimination and sound judg? ment of his Excellency Governor Pickens. Nu;v Advertisements. To supply the wants and necessities of families, 8. H. Owkk& Co., have established a Family Gro? cery, wheio every tiling in their line may be had in any quantities, and at prices to suit the pur? chaser?. Sec their advertisement. The many friends of Cot. E. R> Jokes, in this and adjoining Districts will be pleased to see that he is a candidate for Colonel of the sew Regiment soon to be organized. Evoroti's Varieties. This popular (roupe, pursuant to advertisement, entertained our people on Friday and Saturday nights with a variety of very amusing performan? ce*. Tho fea!s of Lclgerdomain, as performed by Mr. Maddi:::, were marvellous and ?? past Ending out." Tbe dancing by lite young ladies, admira? ble ; the intelligent exhibitions ef (he educated dog, Sancho, wurc incredulous; and the Ethiopian minstrels were by no means the least attractive feature in the s'.iov. If not fame, at least mirth "follows whereEvsbett goes." -?> Tha 2utior Guards. If all we hear of this spirited corps be true, and we have no re.ison to doubt it, the Guards arc by far the best disciplined company thia side of Charleston. The Enterprise says : "?Under present orders there arc six drills a week. Thc3C have been kept up now something over two months, .tud we me of opinion thai no company in trie State out of regular servico can excel the Guards in drilling. We say this much not in any spirit of vain boasting, but n.j a credit due the company, both neu and efneers?aud thai those at a distance may know of tho spirit and zeal that is manifested by our voluntocrs." rir-jj xloiatod. The patriotic and enterprising firm of Sloan, Sullivan ?c Co.; have been tho first of our citizens to cast to the breeze the dug of the "Southern Confederacy," which they did on Friday last, and which now tlonts with graceful fold over the en? trance to their store. The flag, as described by the chairman of tlie flag committee, consi.it.i of a r:d field, with a white space extending horizontally through the centre, and equal in width to o::c-third the width of the (lag. The red spaces above ami below, to be of the same width! as the white. The Union blue extending down through the white space, and stopping at the lower red space. In the centre of tiic Union, a circle of white stars, corres? ponding in number with the Statc3 of the Confede? racy. - Scniouco Day. The Spring Term of Court for tin's District ad? journed on Thursday last. Prior to adjournment the following individuals wore brought before his Honor Judge Muxno to receive sentence, to wit: 1st. Goo. vr. May, guilty of assault ami battery, sentenced to seven montl:3 imprisonment and to pay a lino of one hundred dollars. 2nd. Francisco Tescbesscro, (or Sancho,) guilty of manslaughter, having plead the heacfit of clergy, was sentenced to twelve months imprisonment and to pay a fine cf live hundred dollars. The ;)ro. was one Richardson, for Digamy, who also plead the benefit of clergy, and was sentenced to six months imprisonment and-to pay a line of $250. The nc::t, and most disgraceful of all, was the the case of .Tosiah Barrett, convicted of shecp Btealing. The penally affixed by law to this of? fence was either to pay the sum of Five Pounds proclamation money, cr to receive not more than ;>9 lashes. The culprit not being able to pay the sum specified, received as his sentence, "To pay the said sum by noon next day, cr failing thereon, to receive, publicly, twenty stripes laid on by the Sheriff." Tbe generosity of our citizens, anxious to shield his children from the lasting disgrace of having t'icir father whipped, readily made up the sum, and he was discharged minus the Hogging. The last was Allen Barksdalc, who plead guilty to sn assault, and having been confined in the j .til for three months, was fined 510. Others were convicted, but not appearing, sealed sentences were left. -4 The Tormanent Constitution. W* publish the Permanent Constitution of the Confederate States, entire this week, and to the ex? clusion of other important matter, that our sub? scribers may have an opportunity to read and tile it away. It is the Constitution of the United States amende! in several very important particulars. It withholds from Congress the power to grant bounties from the Treasury, or to impose duties or taxes upon foreign importations, for the purpose " toprcmote or foster any branch of industry." It enacts " that all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the Confederate States." It also denies Congress the right to legislate for purposis of internal improvement, leaving the matter with the States. Executive patronage is vastly Jiminishcd ; the President may remove "the principal officer in each of the Executive Depart? ments, and all persons connected with the diplo? matic nervicc" at pleasure, but all other civil offi? cers of the Executive Department can only be removed "when their services arc unnecessary or for dishonesty, incapacity, inefficiency, misconduct or neglect of duty ;" and when so removed shall be reporttd to (he Senate, together with the reasons there? for. The tenure of the Presidential office is ex? tended from'four to six years, and the President is ever afterwards made ineligible. Other prominent features of the Constitution are changed or modi? fied, retaining all of its excellencies and in a mea? sure discarding that which was objectionable. We heartily agree with tho Charleston Mercury, " That taken as a whole, the Constitution of the Southern Confederacy, submitted to us by our delegates at Montgomery, is the best Constitution, we believe ever devised by man. We are grateful for it, and cannot doubt that it will long endure a monument of the wisdom, ability and patriotism of the states? men of tho South." Trip to Laurens and Back. There is ancient custom among the editorial fra? ternity?which might frequently be "more hon? ored in the breach than the observance,"?to ren? der an account of their pereginations, great or small, unto that reading public which stands up? permost in their thoughts on all occasions. Ac? cording to that usage, and because we have wit? nessed scenes of mingled interest and sadness du? ring a recent jaunt, vre purpose scribbling some? thing about what we saw and heard during a short absence from the sanctum. This much, by way of apology, and we begin. Friday morning last, in company with an es? teemed friend, (J. L. II.,) we started for Laurens JB7II. by railway. Nothing of interest occurred, except that admirable breakfast one always enjoys at McGee's, until we arrived at Ncwberry, where, as every one ought to know, passengers bound for j Laurens must " change cars." Having a short interval to while away, we sought the Coii.icrvatiat office, and were much pleased to meet with its ac? complished editor, Capt. J. B. Naxce, with whom we exchanged an agreeable chit-chat for a few mo? ments. He were glad to know that the Conscrvidist was meeting that success which its decided merit so richly deserves. Back to the depot and aboard the Laurens train, we were rapidly speeding our way, and in due time readied the destined point. Reader, did you ever travel over that Railroad? Most generally, and especially a few years since, travelers abused it, writers defamed its accommodations and facili? ties, and witlings amused their friends with mirac? ulous accounts of a voyage from Newberry to Laurens. But for one, we have always Made al? lowance and exercised charity towards the institu? tion ; in fact, we are disposed to believe that there are worse roads, meaner accommodations, aad cer? tainly less-obliging officers. The gentlemanly Su? perintendent and courteous Conductor arc not ex-, celled in their respective stations. " The Governor," tv> he was or.ee familiarly styled, knows exactly the information }'ou desire and cheerfully assists you in any manner whatsoever. So much for the Lau? rens R. R., once derided, but now "above sus? picion." Saturday morning we were on the qai the to wit? ness the parade and drill of the "State Guards," an excellent ttiflo company under command of our worthy friend, Capt. 1). C. Gaelixctox. At eleven a. m. the " Guards " assembled, and for an hour or two went through various evolutions with the skill and precision of thorough-drilled soldiers. It in do Battery to thus eulogise the "Guards; " their firm, even-tread r.nd scl-.iicriy bearing indi? cated that they wore untiring and constant in pre? paring for actual service, should they be needed to defend the action of our beloved State. The ?'Guards" belong to the Third Regiment of Vol? unteers, having promptly responded to the call made two moutli3 3iacc. Aside from this incident, nothing occurred du? ring the day to disturb the unusual dullness of tho village. But ct early nightfall the dreaded cry of M Tire! Fire! " alarmed tho citizens. Rush? ing to the square, in tho direction indicated by the alarm, we discovered the flames just beginning to issue from the third story of S.mjioxs' Hotel, a large wooden building. In an instant it was deci? ded, from the rapid progress of the flames before discovery, that there was no possible chance to save t'.ic building, and efforts were directed to re? moving the furniture and preventing farther de? struction of property. Through the timely energy and activity of the citizens, the furniture and other articles were removed. But the flames could not be arrested there. Another house, not occupied, and formerly used as a hotel, which stood just across the street, was totally consumed, together with kitchens, smoke-houses, stables, &c, on both premises. This unoccupied house was the proper? ty of Mr. J. Caaws, whose store was opposite on another street, and which very narrowly escaped destruction. This was also the case with tho ex? tensive grocery and hardware establishment of Aoksw, Kyle l'<. Fisher, on tho corner opposite Simmons' Hotel. But for the unceasing efforts of the citizens, the entire square might havo been laid in oskes. At length the devastating element was arrested, and by midnight the town had re? sumed its wonted quiet. Our space will not permit an extended descrip? tion of this lamentable occurrence. It was such a sight as we care not to witness soon again?leav? ing tlie village without a hotel and a large number without a home. The total loss must be near !?20,000. The Hotel in use was owned by Mr. Jojtx Simmoxs, the land? lord, and one of the most popular caterers for the travelling public in the up-country. He had oc? cupied the house for the last 22 years, and after patient toil and economy for that lengthy period, he witnessed the total destruction of his valuable home. There was no insurance. It is hoped that Mr. Siuxos? will re-build at once, as great incon? venience will arise from their being no hotel in the place. The well-known hospitality of Laurens v.ill ?insure visitors against the possibility of " camping-out." ? The Herald office, which wu3 in dangerous prox? imity to the fire, always receives a visit from Ms when sojourning for a time among the good people of old Laurens. Its proprietor has lately become editor of the paper, and we are confident that our old and vahud friend, Mr. HoLUXOSWOBTH, will become as popular iu this capacity as he has ever been in others. The Herald is flourishing, to our certain knowledge, and is warmly supported in that section. Vc arc under many obligations, "Jim," for your considerate attention and generous hos? pitality. We remained at Laurens until Tuesday morning, when, bidding adieu to man}' endeared friends and relatives there, we set our face homewards. The nigiit previous a light snow had lallen, which be? came deeper as we nearcd Newberry ; and at Co? lumbia, we learned, snow fell to the depth of six iuches. To our surprise, we were informed on reaching Anderson that there had been none here at all! At Newberry our estimable traveling companion left us, expecting to visit the United States before his return to this region. We parted with regret from hint, and, taking a scat in the "up-train," were soon whirling along with the usual speed of the iron-horse. And now, reader, once more at home, we promise to devote all attention to your interests, if you will pardon this random writing. -4j* Ratified.
