A PUBLIC TINDER Box.-The wooden tene ment No. 7 Washington street has caught fire sev? eral times of late, and no notice seems to have been taken of the affair, and no attempts made>to provide against a recurrence of the evil.

Upon arriving at the large well opposite Hayne 6treet, the suction was thrown in, lind i he enc ines attempted to play off. >% water, but a spattering or black mud tn s tarown out, and, ou looking into the well, noth Lng but oozy mod was to be seen. This unex? pected den- uement put an end to the practicing, and necessitated a thorough cleaning . ut of the engines. Tidswell ought to be ot.e of the main 3 -arces in time or lire tor a good supply or water, and, being situated lu the wealthiest aud most thickly settled portion or the business c immu? nity, should al .. ays be kept fall. If, instead of mere practicing, lhere Hod lwvu a Are, the engines tttat relie I upon thc tidal drain would have been in? capacitated for working even where water could be found. The matter ts a serious one, and should "se looked into by the proper authorities. Hotel Arrival*-May io. PAVILION HOTEL. A W. Loyns, Florence, S. C. CHARLESTON HOTEL. W. E. Church, N. Y.; T. R.

The remains of eighty South Carolinians, who fell upon ihe bloody field of Gettysburg; were yes? terday :reinterretl _t Magnolia Cern . -ur. The prep? arations which have been in progress for the past week culminated in the solemn ceremonies around the graves, and.seldom have we seen a more impressive spectacle than wa3 exhibited yesterday on that hallowed square. The memo? ries of ?he past, which seem of late to have been smothered up by our present trouble*: were once more awakened, and few who stood upon that solem? ground who did not feel the influence pro? duced by them. The long row of freshly made graves spoke louder than trumpets, and the cause for which they died was Invested with a brighter glory by the immensity of their sacrifice. They died upon thc soil of an enemy, and yesterday saw the latest prayer of many of them granted, that they should sleep their long last steep In the bosom or their native Carolina. The wives, mothers and sisters who sent them rorth to bat? tle remembered these dying words, and after a long Interval of untiring energy and labor In the great aad hallowed cause, they have fulfllled their wishes. All honor to the lautes who have assisted In this sacred work. Th: tr gb.' morning was propitious to a celc ,bra lon of ic 2 kind, and at an early hour, masses or evergreen 1, beautirul crosses and chaplets, and lovely bouquets of flowers were to be seen borne about the streets. The extensive decorations in the Hioernian Hall, from the late lair or the Sis? ters or Mercy, were taken down to lorin material for the decorations, and various wagons, with their ve rnal freight, variegated with baskets of flowers, could be seen travel-.ng the city. At 2 o'clock, by general conseut, the leading establish? ments on our prlucipal streets were closed, apd the population turned odt en masse, to do honer to the remains of the fallen heroes. The street cars on the up trips were Jammed; everybody was hurry itg to the railroad depots. The trains on the South carolina and Northeast? ern Railroads Were much lerner than usual. On one tri.ln alone there we^-thirteen passenger cars, at.d every oue full. Dp to the mitote that the last train left tbedepoi, ladles and gentlemen, and the inevitable jmalt l- ays, could be sean .'mr. rying up, but at last ahe whistle blew, and the long* train or tars nove J Steadily up to the Forks of the Fioad. Alighting here, the ..-?Ito-s walked up the ave? nue, aud were soon a: ts?? burial grotfnd of thc Confederate dead. In addition to thc railroad trains, vast numbers of impromptu vehicles were plying along thc road?, and over 6000 persons must have beeu upon the grounds. The road irom the gate 01 the cemetery, within thc grounds, was thronged with vehicles, and the vast concourse of people .vevo densely crowded around the speaking stand, at .ne northeast corner of the Confederate burial ground. The ceremonies were introduced by Lle.enant General R. H. Audersoa, who excused the absence of the venerable Dr. Bacnman. and announced that - thc Re". Edison Capers had beeu requested to take his place. Mr. Capers then offered the following prayer: O ! Taou grear, good and merciful God-Thou Father or compassion and God of all consolation and grace In Christ Jesus our Lord, to Thee we bring cur humble tribute of praise and thanks? giving. We are unworthy and Biulul-Thou art holy ard worthy to be exalted ror evermore. O ! God ! be with us, in this nour, when with sad heans we exclaim, lover and friend hast Thou pat far from us an-1 our acquaintance into dark? ness. We have gathered today around the re? mains of the belove l and honored dead, who were nat atone bouud to us by the strong ties ol kindred and affection, but to whom we owe a deo debt of gratitude, for these sleep? ing patriots shed their blood in our do? rene;. And whilst we pla".e up'in their graves memorial garlands or love, affection and grati? tude, ?ut Thou, Heavenly b.'titer, engrave upon our heurts the remembrance ol their virtues, and teach cs to emulate meir patriotic love of coun? try? Impress upon our hearts, everlasting Uod, the solemn lesson of mortality here taught us, and, whilst we linger around Ute hallowed mounds under which our dead heroes Ile, let us look btyond-above, and prepare, by lives ol inno? cence, virtue, benevolence and faith, to join our departed ones iu thai land wnere sorrows are ende 1 and partlugs are unknown. Have mer y, dear. Fattier In heaven, upon the beloved, rela? tiv.- . a id frieuds or the dead. Comfttrt the wMow and the orphan, and provide ror their necessities. And we beseech The* look In- mercy upon pur distracted land; remove ihe evil- uiider which we groan; let wisdom guide our counsels, mit! prosperity smile .wain upon our land. Finally, may Thy holy reiiaton be widely diflused. until the while earth be flited with Thy glory. In the name nud for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. The following beautiful ode. written expressly for the occasion by Ur. J. Dickson Bruns, ami Set to music by Prof. Thos. P. O'Nealc, was sung by the children of Hie CpiceUerate Home, lcd by Mr. O'Neaii; and assisted by a po werra! chorus of bass voices au tho stage: Ode, cv nr.. J. DICKSON BRUNS. Husl;ed he Hie clamor or the mar ; Stided as when strick-eii peoples pray : For through a Lilien nations heart Wt bring our herds' dust to day; Lc-t all her sons a Sabbath keen In Meir proud City by the Sea, And come, whoever loves<.! weep Tin; broketi lance or Chivalry. Come Honor wich iU> diutcd shield, Anl Valor with thy stn vero 1 glaive ; Aud from the sod where Faith hath kneeled, Rise Justice from her trampled grave t And come, O dove-eyed Peace : who long Fro m this, ou1- desolate land, hath strayed. And "t ns dream that Hate at.d Wrong Wi .h these our brothvr.v bones relaid! Twice Amarant t for the noble dead, Nor be ?he victor-leaf forgot. And, while the paning prayer ls said, Strew Heart's Ease and Forget-me-not.

So guard O God I this -acred dust, Winch we wi;h pravers and tears would bless. And be Thon still tin- Widow's trust, Arad Father of the Fatherless. The Rev. J. L. Girardcu, D. D., next delivered the address. To eive a synopsis or thin speaker's words wo dd De an injustice to his splendid effort am convey but a faint impression of its power and beauty. His s. ul stirring, words met with a warm sympathy from" his audience, and his mas? ter de meatian of the present Situation, Us ten? dencia s, aud our proper course, excited the deep? est interest.

On each lowly stone was placed a chaplet, frequently varied by beaatlful crosses of evergreen and Sowers. Not one was forgotten, and the tender and loving manner with which Hie work was done showed the deep f;ellngs or the fair decorators. In the centre oftlieburial-ground was a large evergreen cross, covered with white lilies, and standing upsn a raised mound. It farmed a beautiful central flgure and emblem to the lowly graves around.

Several other speakers attempted to explain or make motions, but the confusion dire caused by I Woolf's effusion could not be remedied, and the repeated thumps by the chairman with a heavy | stick upon the table railed to restore the requisite amount of order for transacting any business.

BENJAMIN JENKINS.-We learn from the Southern Christian Advocate, that Dr. Jenkins died at Shanghai, China, March 13, his age being about ?6 years. Dr. J. was well known lu Charleston, having resided hera a number of years, prior to his removal to. China. He was at one time employed in the printing office or the Charleston courier, then for six yeirs published the Advocate until, in 1843, he went as a mission? ary to China. He severed his connection with the board, however, some years- ago, and became attached to the United States Consulate, where he rendered valuable service by his great linguistic proficiency. Dr. Jenkins was a self-made man; In lils earlier years a hard student, with a special predilection for languages. Before he went to China, he bad acquired some knowledge of some eight or ten different languages, and during his stay in the East he added largely to his store in 'this direction, and used lils leisure in laying open the literary treasures the heathen Chinee to our Inquiring Occidental gaze.
