in the midst of killed, dying and wounded.
IIlis brings to our mind a similar j*rwi?l?*ntial
preservation of a store during tin? great fire of
18U5, that destroyed so many squares of valuable
buildings, from South street itj> to tin* Merchants
Exchange. The next day, from about the middle
of this irreat ruin was seen, standing unhar.n
co, :i solitary store. Those immediately adjoining,
right and loft, as well as those on the streets
front and roar, were levelled with the colli.
One of tho three occupants of this store, was tin
cider brother of this very Mr. 8oh?jn?oi. From [
the roof of this building thousands were viewing
the next day this immense desolation of acres |
of burned buildings, all surrounding this isola
tod and comparatively unharmed structure, which !
it appears, had been eroded in the same manner |
and with the salne materials as the others, i
Front the scuttle ott its roof, in the midst of lire ,
and smoke was scon occasionally by the lire j
engineers the head of nr. individual, with spy j
glass in hand intetisly viewing some object. out
in the liver on a parallel with the store. 'I hat j
object next day was confessed to be the mill !
sloop of this firm, at anchor, laden brim full of]
gunpowder? 2,000 casks. It appears that the
tides had prevented its coming early enough t?? j
be shipped on a vessel fbr wliielt it was engaged ]
for the forts of Mnrncaibo. The captain and ;
hands had gone up into the city to lodge, think j
ing her safe, leaving onlv the cabin boy as a i
guard. It was in vain, alter the lire had got ;
tinder sttcli way and the Hakes of cinders failing}
on and about iter, that large sums were offered i
by the firm to the captain and hands, who had
been roused front their beds by the groat.alarm j
;'i the city, and came to the wharf opposite the j
sloop, to go on hoard and hoist her anchor and
. remove her out of danger. They feared every
minute her explosion.
The lad on board was seen l?y means of the
spyglass from the roof to he engaged in drawing
water and wetting the deck, as those powder
sloops, from powder dust falling out of the j
cracks of the casks often on deck, renders it of- }
ten rather menacing, esneciallv if one comes
~ & I
near, smoking tobacco pipes.
This most remarkable escape in the midst of)
the combustible district of that night, brought i
on the three occupants (<?i a long time the names |
of Shudracli, Meshach aud Abednego, alluding j
to the fact in the Hook of Daniel, when in the
fiery furnace the aboved three individuals were !
cast by order of the King of llubylon for refits- j
irig to fall down and worship his idols and who ;
were seen to walk about in the Haines therein j
unharmed on account of which miracle he after-1
wards acknowledged the God of the three be- J
lieversaud afterwards abolished his own worship ;

Killed nv Lightning.?The following singular
case of death l?v lightning is reported m j
the Ibantford (C. \V.) Chronicle. The wife of;
Mr. John Carrie, fanner, on the 13th conccv-inii j
o*' the West Gwiiiimhury, was on last Thursday !
killed by lightning. She had gone out to milk !
in a field near the house; her daughter and ser- j
vant woman were going with her, the latter to |
hold a wild heifer while being milked. On ;
looking out and seeing it likely to bo wot, tlioy J
stepped back, tlie daughter to throw something
over her, suid the man to put on his coat. This
was the work ot'a moment, and the daughter
having hastily thrown over her shoulders a man's
coat, she was stepping out of Mm house, when a
volume of flame rushed towards her, which was
accompanied hy a most tremendous peal of
thunder. Fearing for her mother's safety, the j
daughter sprang towards where she had last j
seen her. Hero sho met a great body of smoke !
and saw her mother prostrate in the midst of <
it, her clothes on fire, and lu*r body lifeless. On ;
going out Mrs. Currie had two milk-pails one |

and her shoes a considerable distance apart, I
and several rods from where she lay. The solos ,
of hur shoes were torn from t lie uppers: the '
hair of the head and the trunk of the body were i
greatly singed and burnt, but no appearance {
of bruises or broken bones. Within a radius of;
six feet the ground where she fell was perforat d J
in six places, all obliquely as if by grape shot, j
An inquest was held on the body, and a verdict i
returned that the deceased came to her death by

The San Francisco correspondent of the Jour j
ml of CoMiiinxe details the following:
"About two years since one of our oldest and
wealthiest citizens left this city to visit Now.
York, leaving a very large estate in the hands
of his lawyer, who was eminent in his profession
l??th here and in one of the Carolina*. lie (
gave his agent full powers. The estate was
somewhat encumbered, and the agent allowed
everything to go by default. The property was 1
all sold, squandered?the agent himself pnrcha*
sing everything under foreclosure of the .Sheriff. ,
Thus matters went on, when the agent sold out
to his own brother all the property so acquired, '
and took his departure for the sunny South a 1
. L
ricn man.
"About six months since our friend and fel ,
low-citizen returned in good heal'h, liis habits i
of lite entirely reformed, lie left a r.eh man,
and returned to tind all liis estate clean swept
from hiin by one whom he had esteemed his
friend, lie at once employed counsel, and began
ferreting out lhe whole scheme of roguery? '
commencing divers suits at law for the recovery. 1
His former agent became alarmed, and he atitho- 1
rized a recently arrived United States Circuit '
Judge to compromise the matter fur him. On 1
investigation it appeared that the agent had (
n-allv exiiohilod about ten thousand dollars in I
caring fur his property. This lie paid, and now 1
although the agent and ex Senator had sold all
the property to his brotlftr yet, strange as it i
may appear the whole entire property, principal J
and interest amounting in value to over a hundred ]
thousand dollars, has all been handed over and <
reconveved back, to tbo legal and rightful own- i
cr, and th it t jo, in season to give our fellow- (
citizen ample means for the enjoyment of a
green old age. These arc facts." (
t
IJaltimoim: and Charleston.?The New 1
Orleans lJulletiii makes the following compari- <
son.
At the beginning of the present century, the
population of those two cities was about equal
Then Charleston enjoyed a far more valuable t
export trade: she had a larger and more ex ten- j J
sive commerce, and w as surrounded by a larger i
amount of improved land, capable oi producing ;
crops the most important in the world. She j
was ahead of Baltimore. In ISoO Baltimore
had a pcipiilaliun of 180,000, while Charleston t
numbered but 43 000 and the prosperity, the i
commerce and tonnage bore the same ratio of ,
increase to the population. The cause of this (
wonderful change is simply that while Charles {
ton depended upon "great staple', products (
and commission merchants, (which alone- can ,
never make or support a cityjBalliniore en- ,
couraged and established the mechanic, artizan j t
and handicrafts man?thus making a home j
market fur the produce ot" her soil?giving
occupants for her dwellings and stores, and ; (
filling pockets to aid in paying taxes. In ! .
IJaltimore can be seen on every hand the smoke |
issuing from the chimney stack of the maun-1
factum- and the artizan. There you will find !
extensive ship yards, where they build the finest ! J
vessels in the world and own litem too. Not J \
only deiiviug the laments ot a permanent
rnueliauical population that constructs them
but reaping also the advantages of manning 1
and victualing these, vessels, and receiving the '
return* from freight earned. One city has j'
relied upon great agricultural advantages and
commission merchants; the other has creatod
her present prosperity; and sustained her
advance in every respect.

that n track-raiser, bv the name of Ryan, on the Charlotte
and Soutli Carolina Railroad, was run over yestchlay
afternoon by a freight train on its way to that
city, and his right leg and right shoulder shockingly
crushed. He received several severe contusions on
the head, and various other portions of his body, as
well as internal injuries, from which he lias since died.
Relief to Norfolk and Portsmouth.
The citizens of Charleston, with their charachtfistic
and prompt liberality have responded most nobly to
tho call of suffering humanity. Seven nurses left on
Fridnv morning last, in addition to others already in
Norfolk and Portsmouth, making I lie number in all of
Forty, which the Commit too ofthe Howard Association
were authorized to send. Liberal donatious in Cash
have also been made. Our Metropolis shows its appreciation
of tho distressed situation of a sister city visited
by this terible scourge, by its good works.
" Statutory Legislation."
We are not alone in our opinion of thoso farcical
enactments called "statutory legislation," which are
conferring such immense benefits, as some would have
us believe, upon the South in the protection of*hcr
peculiar institutions.
The Columbus (Ga.,) Daily Sin, Noticing the outrage
committed upon Col. Wheeler, in Philadelphia,
several weeks ago, says in conclusion: " What a farce
is the protection afforded to southern property by tho
laws of the Union."
Relief for the Sufferers.
The Charleston Owner of Thursday last says:
" The Executive Committee of the Howard Association
beg leavo to acknowledge the receipt of the
following sums among those which have been contributed
for tho suffering sick at Norfolk:
Contributed by the merchants of llayno and
Meeting streets $1000.00
Collection taken at St. Hiilips Church 183.25
Collection taken at the First Baptist Church 91.00
" In addition to these several anonymous notes have
been received by different members of the Committee
enclosing small sums.
' We learn that four nurses were sent to Norfolk by
the cars yesterday morning, and four by the cars of
this morning. We would call attention to tho advertisement
of the Committee for f.nwlc nurses.
Look Out for the Villains.
As horse-stealing has become quite fashionable in
aur Slate, we would advise those of our friends who
liave horses wortli stealing, to keep them securely fastened
under good locks and keys. A few weeks back
ivhitot corn was selling abone dollar and fifty cents
per bushel, it might have been a favor to steal au in.
liffcrcnt horse that was a good cater, but now, the
prospects are more cheering, and the obligation would
not be so great; we think prudence will dictate that a
pood strong lock on every stable will be a great saving
n the long run. We can't help thinking but that a
Penitentiary would be-a good cage for such birds of
passage and beasts of prey, as are prowling about
sur country. Such villains, we verily believe, would
lot bositate to murder, if it became necessary, in orler
to accomplish their purposes.
An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of
lure, and llio certainty of being punished would bo
noro likely to prevent the commission of crime, than
uws of greater severity where tho chances of
;scape were increased.
Horse Thief Arrested.
A man who came to our town on the evening of
he 11 tli inst., and registered his name at tho Mansion
House as William Bogan, was arrested the next moraug,
ou suspicion of being tho thief who had stolen
i Uorse in Columbia, the property of Mr. John Whitaccr.
Jr., of Camden.
It appears that on his way from Columbia he crossed
lie Waterec River at a private Ferry, a few miles beow
Camden, and bad ofTcrcd to a gentleman in the
leighborhood, the horse in question, upon very ac:ommodating
terms, the gentleman did not, however,
lurchaae, and be went on his way, and in the vicinity
>f Boykin'a Depot, camo up with a waggoner, with
vhotn he struck a trade?exchanged horses; after*
vards, becoming dissatisfied, ho traded the horse back
o tho waggoner and received a watch in exchange,
fie took the cars that evening at Boy kin's and came
,o Camden, wlicro his conduct appearing mysterious
ic was arrested as wc have already stated and lodged
nour Jail.

A'addcli alias Hawkins, Bryant, et. nl. The name of
Jetliea is marked on some of his clothes, and his
leseription answers to that ot the man who ehotByrd

The Mayor of Augusta has been communicated with
in order, if ho be the same man, that be may be iden.

Major Perry on Southern Rights.
The editor of the Southern Patriot comments in
pretty severe terms upon the recent Southern Rights
mti-Know Nothing meeting in Charleston.
Major Perry regards the movement about as unwise
ind uncalled for?except for the purposo of crushing
i>ut the Know Nothings?as tiro organization of tho
American Party itself.
In this declaration, Major Perry shows himself to
be, at least, a consistent politician, and consistency
now-a-dnijs, is a rare jewel in any shape. IIo is now
where he has always bcon, an uncompromising and
devout Federalist, as deeply dyed in the wool a Union
man as the most thorough Nationalist to be found in
the country. Wo never can admire such politics, nor
shall we entcrtnin tho first sliado of sympathy for
such sentiments as tho editor of the Patriot promulgos
through that organ. Yet wo do foel moro respect for
tho opinions of a consistent opponent than wo over
can, for uncertain and unreliable fricnd3 whoso politics
teach lliem to
"seek for power,
!?}' doctnues tasiiiouea to tno varying hour.
If there is a contemptible object upon earth, it is the
public man whose ambition is always to got upon the
strong side, without regard to whether it be right or
wrong.
It is a patent remark of Henry Clay, "1 would
rather bo right, than to be President;" although we
norer liked Mr. Clay's politics, yet this remark is a
good one.
Wo are not surprise^ that Mr. Perry should opposo
the Charleston movement, for anything with the name
even of Southern flights tipon it, calls forth his ire
with a vengeance; and such expressions are only in
keeping with his antecedents:?
"We had thought that the game of bluster and
brag had beth played often enough in South Carolina.
We were under the Impression, too, that so many of
the leading disunionists had been put into federal of
fice by President Pierce, that we should have a truce
during the remainder of his Administration. "We
thought, too, that South Carolina would he an Administration
State out of gratitude for the loaves and
fishes bestowed 011 her lire-rating sons. Their seven
principles, according to Randolph's views ol a needy
politician, were grntilied. They had achieved a victory,
and we supposed would bo quiet. As to dissolving
this Union, 110 man in ids senses who has any knowledge
of government or history, and knows anything
of lmmnn nnlni-o p.111 believe it nnssililn. tinder existinc
circumstances, or under circumstances likely to exist
for years and years to come."
The "existing circumstances" to which tho Patriot
alludes, so potent for the preservation of this glorious
(?) Union, are doubtless the extraordinary " security"
and "repose" which the South particularly, enjoys
"upon tlio slavery question, so far as statutory legisla
tion is concerned, greater than she has enjoyed since
llO"? l> If A f.lilioad ll.ink tl.n Una nrnr.
estimated the strength of tlie Union. Wo believe it
possible that even under " existing circumstances"
it may bo dissolved.
The Major gives the Southern Rights Party of the
South some severe raps, and in some of his remarks
there is much more of truth than pootry. Ho says:
"The people may sanction resolutions, and laws, and
conventions, gotten up by the office-seekers, ofliceholders,
newspaper editors and politicians, for the pur
pose of out-bragging their neighbors; but as soon as
they are culled upon to act, to arm anil fight against
the government under which they and their fathers
have lived prosperously, they will back out, as they
have done on two memorable occasions in South Carolina,
as they did in Shay's rebellion in Massachusetts,
as they did in tho whiskey rebellion iu Pennsylvania,
and as they* did a few years since in Rhode Island."
Major Perry admits, however, that the thing is pos
sible, that the Fedeial Union may fail to answer the
purposes for which it was organized, and in that event
'it will Call of its own accord and become powerless.*'
lie further says:
" Whenever iiattempts to invade the right of property
and destroy our Ijouthein institutions, there will
be nothing to sustain it. That day may conic when
the American people will have lost their sense of jus
tiee, and be blhided by ignorance, wlieu they will be
no longer capable of governing themselves, and their
Government must fall, as others have, in the history of
tho world."
If attempts have not been made " to invade the
right of property and destroy our Southern institutions,"
we have read and seen to no purpose; every
man, who is candid enough to admit the fact, must
know that the attempts to weaken and destroy our
Southern institutions, aregrowingstrongcrand stronger
every day, and tho time has already come when a largo
part of the American peoplo have lost their senso of justice
and are blinded by ignorance and fanaticism so far
as to be absolutely incapable of governing themselves.
Such talk as that may do for those who believo in
the consolidation of the government, that it can do no
liarm, l>ut, there are some who are not willing to
swallow this dose, and the union nurses of the South
we opine will find this out, before many more Congressional
pitch battles shall have been fought on the
slavery question.

Correspondence of the Camden Journal.
Mr. Editor:?I saw with pleasure in the
columns of the South Carolinian of Wednesday
tho name of Dr. Liebcr proposed as the successor
of Dr. Thorn well, to the Presidency of the
South Carolina College. This institution, at
once the pet, the pride, and the boast of the
State and the South, should be watched with
jealous care, and I know of none more worthy
to be at its head than I )r. Francis Liebcr. A
mind which dives to the depths of the most abstruse
subjects, with a profound and seaichiiur
analysis, yet broad and expansive enough to
embrace its length and breadth however comprehensive,?a
power of illustration graceful, striking
and happy arc his distinguishing character
istics. Added to the original vigor of his intellect
the rich acquirements and vast store of facts
which he has collected and digested?his intimate
acquaintance with the best methods of
instruction, derived, as " Justice'' suggests from
a comparison of the respective peculiarities of
the French, German, and English Universities,
and his unbending integrity, and we havo all the
elements of a President capable of protecting
the interests of our beloved institution, and
worthy to succeed the present distinguished divine,
who has so beneficially conducted the Collurro
fnr flip l.'lst. throe OrflHir VfllllS.

lias been objected to Dr. Licb^'s claim to
preferment that he took ground against the
South in the political crisis which recently swept
over our State?that he was in fact a consolidationist?a
whig of the Federal school, ?fcc.?
This if I mistake not ho unequivocally denied,
and simply declared himself a co-operationist?
that it was a question of expediency and not of
right. And Mr. Editor, you must allow that
too many of the best men, best heads and best
hearts of South Carolina were prominent leaders
in that party, to be willing to admit that fact as
a valid or eveu reasonable objection to Dr. Lieber's
claim to the Presidency. It seems to nic
that if these facts are true, and admitted as
such, all must be convinced Lhat there is no man
more worthy of this honor than Dr. Liebcr.

Fatal Accident.
I We learn that a fearful accident befol the
