' " Terrible Gale and Conflagration. / . Friday last, was a day which will be long remembered by _onr citizens. In the morning there was a. light fall of rain, with every Indication of a contiaunoo throughout the day, but towards noon tho wind oso and blew a perfect hurricane. The woods around^g lamden were on. fire and we hare tho painful duly or ecording the destruction of large amounts oCprupor- ( jr. The dwelling house and ont buildings, with their ( ontonts, of the oatate of Captain P. McRa, with the , hi tavoru on the Columbia road, about six miles froujrown, were all destroyed, with the exception of one table. Six negro houses belonging to Major John Vlritaker were consumed, and we understand it was ^ rilh great difficulty that Colonel Taylor's reeidonce ru anved. Higher up tire country, near the Fairfield ^ ine, we learn the fire has also been very destructive,., consuming houses and fences. Mr. John Hinson re are sorry to loarn, has boen burned out,? tforth of Caradeu the fire raged with terrible fierce- t teas, and the report comes to us that several of our sit!sens have been turned out of doors. Mr. Abram foung had h'rs house and furniture consumed, and hie, > vifo came near being burned. Captain "W. R John-". on and A. A. McDowell, areamong the sufferers. The ] Jcssra.

The ( [re came down with groat velocity, within a mile of h* town and the houses in Kirkwood were in iramiicnt danger of being destroyed, but by extraordinary, ifforta were saved, with the burning of tome fencing* . ,nd one. or two small oat houses. To the oast of Cam- , len, some eight or niue miles, tho consequences have ( >een quite serious. Mr. Thomas Holland was burned tut, and the lencingofa good many persons destroyed. Ve have also heard that fifteen or twenty families j urther on towards Lynch's Creek, hare been burned. ^ tut or seriously injured. We hope this statement msy ( x> incorrect, but fear thero is too muoli truth in iL j !"ho full' particulars of this extraordinary calamity aanot be given until our next. Since tho foregoing was written, the painful intelliv roncc baa reached us that tho fire on Friday baa been earful in its consequences. The upper mill of oar es- ( eemed friend Colonel W.. J. Taylor, was burned. Jeveral negro bouses belonging to Miss I. S. McRa, tnd others have boon consumed. On Lynch's Greek, Messrs. Joel and William Hough, rere burnt out entirely. Mr. John Folsorn lost all , sxcept his dwelling, and Mr. J. A. W. Berry, lost , loverol buildings, but ssrod his dwelling. The property >f Mis. Halt, ? ?ridtrw lady, was entirely consumed. L number of persona havefdst thetb-eetire 'fencing i rtth other property, out houses, corn, fbddor, etc. We laara, also, that Captain John L. Jones, of Lib- | :rty Hill, has suffered in the loss Of.his bouso> Sow many more have shared a similar (ate we Hive no idoa. Such a fire we* hate never hoard if beforo, and humbly trust it may never be our nisfortune to hear of again. The elegant ma onion of Colonel N, A. Peay, of Long Town, came near beings buried up, the palings were consumed and the houSA laved by extraordinary exertions. The ows from Sumter District and other quarters ? equally stalling. We still hope that the account* hich have reached us tn exaggerated. We- will cqow b* our next the true state of matters. These misfortunes superadded to thfe extraordinary sroRsure of the times, calls for our ^ warmest symp&* ;hies in behalf of the sufferers who, for the most part, wo those in moderate circumstances, and not sble to sear suoli misfortunes. Here is an opportunity for the ixcrciso of that charity which suffereth long sod is tiud.

One has wisely remarked : " It is the pride and joy of American citizens that we haves written Constitution, and know the laws which ere to jovern us." We will sum up our reflections at the present timo jy & short extract from a correspondent of the Charles:on Mercury, which embodies in a few words the narked point of our objection to the Know Nothings: " la foreign influenoe-too strong ? Let die natural- *: zed laws be properly discussed and amended in Congress by those who are cumpeteut to govern and di cct the affairs of the country, and are responsible for ill that they da Let there be no higher law?no so:ret law not written upon the statute book.
