near the lower end, on the opposite aid* of the

were employed. It wna not very thoroughly.
constructed, according to the statements of
builders, architects and others, who any that
they had no confidence in the durability of the
tructnre.
A tall column on tlio south able, and a similar
one opposite and near the canal, with a amall
portion of one end of the building, alone were
standing, nnd trembling, as if about to tail. Engines
were about the ruins, throwing watT Into
the smoking and burning rubbish, and thousands
of people were crowding the vicinity. Hie osnnl
had been bridged with rafts of boards thrown on
the cracking ice.
Two long lines of boarding-lionses, now so sntldenly
deserted, were situated on the opposite
side of the canal, in front of the mill, and the op
erntives were obliged to cross a narrow bridge
in going and returning from work. The opera
were of Rcotch origin, and were regarded a* the
most skillful operative* in T-awrence.
The news of the disaster went like an electric
bock over the city, and people commenced running
to the spot. The Washington Mills, near
by, were entirely deserted, and others in the city
poured forth in exeited throngs. Those on the
street rushed to the place, stores were deserted,
houses deft unprotected, and almost the whole
population gathered around the spot.
Those who could work plied hands and tools
briskly, all with heavy hearts, and spirit" saddened
by the frantic cries of some for help, the
groans of the dying, and the disfigured corpses of
those who had been killed.
As the bodies of the wounded, dead and dying
were taken out, those which were recognised
were delivered to their friends, and such as were
not recognised were taken to the City Hall. In
this way as many as could find room upon the
pile labored unremittingly for bourn
About 9 o'clock, a fire broke out from the engine
room at the south end of the building and
soon -spread over the whole ruin. The scene now
was heat t-aickening, according to every description.
Conscious of the tortuous death which
awaited the unfortunates whose sufferings had
not been ended by death, the bystanders were
unable to afford them any relief.
A few more bodice were got out, but only a
lew, jitter iiie names Jiaa oegun 10 rage. xne
groans of Uie sufferers caused indescribable an- .
gtiish in tbc hearts of all around, nnd to them
were added the frantic appeals of some who
lcnaw they were gazing on the funeral pile of <
relatives aud friends, to whom no succor was j
possible.
An ulamn was sounded, the firemen promptly
manned the machines, and made every effort to
extinguish the flamca But the copious streams
of water dashing over the hidden ruins could only
prolong the miseries of those beneath.?
Though confined within solid brick walls, assistance
had nearly reached them when Uie fire
broke out.
In one case one of those persons was helped
to a glass of water by parties who were endeavoring
to extricate them. She said that near her,
aepernted only by single beams, were six men uninjured.
Alas! they were all consumed in the
tl mice, which spread with great rapidity. How ,
ri.anv were thus burned there is no data for esii
i-.ri'ig. A person who was at the fire from its
In -inning, became cognizant-of three parties of
individuals?from four to six in number?who
lb us perished.
The vicinity of the mills looks very mnch like
a vast charnel house, as litters, having on them
corpses, are constantly passing through the
streets in that nnarter.
The liall of the city government building was
vised as a hospital for such of the wounded as it
was deemed necessary to convey hither. Mattresses
lined the hall on three of its sides, and
a I -a.--a._l 1 .1 ..J 1 11... ? .1
oil mem were wreicneu niamgicu uuoira, nuu
others not dangerously injured, but suffering
from painful wounds.
Kind-hearted pl^-sicians ministered nnceasingly
to them, and some, whom years of practice
might have excused from sensitiveness to Lite suffering
of others, performed their offices with
tearful eyes, compassionate countenances, and
all the gentleness of sympathetic natores.
On oue pallet lay a little girl, with a beauti
ful pale countenance, knit with the suffering she
could not conceal, yet unmurmuring. She was
watched over by a weeping friend, apparently
Iter father, and my heart was rejoiced at the announcement
by the physician that she was not
dangerously, though severely injured.
Still further, on a pallet, was a young woman
groaning with pain, from several broken bones,
interna] injuries and a bruised head. Half a
dozen disconsolate friends were about her weeping,
for the physician had said she innst die.
X.*?r the platform was a poor German, suffering
excruciating pain. He could not talk English,
and no one from the H fatherland " had
found him. His case, too, it is feared, is bopeJe?\
On the opposite side are three girls?all young
nnd beautiful, but with the cold hand of death
already on them.
Many others were there who alone would excite
the sympathy of those alio saw them. A
large room on the corner of the hall had been set.
apart as a depository for the bodies of the dead,
and this was literally covered with mangled
corpses. Young men, and those past the meridian
of life, women and young girls, lay there?
a ghastly sight to behold.
They lay as they had been recovered from the I
ruins?some covered with blood, and other* com- I
pletely disfigured. Another room below aleocontained
a number of I todies, and others were removed
an their frienda claimed them.
A committee of twenty-five are canvassing the
boar-ling houses of the eity to ascertain the num
Iter and the names of aii who are misting. s',:.
the In test account* dead bo-lies were continually
tal(eii from the smoking ruins.
Previous to the fire, tn'O siatera were together
nnd comparatively unhnrb They would have
been reac-ued. Hearing the roar of the flames
they exclaimed, "Oh Hod ! we have to die."
Another wuman aiirieKca out pueousiy innt
the fires was burning her hair, but the flame*
so n after silenced her.
It has already been stated previously, tliat one
man out his throat lest he should be burned
i.live. Mr. Hranch told his friends who were digging
for him, that ho should resort to the same
means to escape the tortures of the fire. He was
persuaded to desist, and fortunately waa rescued.
The awful death of which some died by the
fire waa fearfully attested by their blacked and
blackened forms wjien taken out?net in anything
like those of human beings,
Qn* Stst tx to* Riqiit Dibbctios.?We are
gntjfied in being cognisant of the fact that a
number of ladles and gent'emrn of this place and
vicinity, who for ipany years have liberally patronized
Northern periodicals and papers, have
determined to give ail Northern publications the

Mr- T. B. Ci.arxson, of Columbia, has taken the
surest and best method in the way of discontinuing
trade with the North. Unless the consumers
will set the hall in motion, they eannot expect
the merchants to do it. The note is address
ed to Mr. Clarkmon's factors in Charleston, and
is as follows;

"II U>* tide of emigration is not Westward.
We have heard of several instance*, lately, of
the stream tunning this way. Only a few duyn
ago, the lounger* upon our vlllnge square Were
aroused from their see J "torn sd listlessne** by the
arrival of one of these ItacW trains from Middle
Florida. Tlie lot numbered about one bnndred,
and were part and parcel of the esL'to of the
late Capt. John Lipscomb. Hi* legatees. It ring
in this State, have sold their lands in Floriu \
and are bringing the*e negro* home, to cultivate
Carolina soil. Well done for that! The darkeys
were evidently delighted at getting back
again, and greeted their old friend*, black and
white, with the broad grin of entire satisfaction.
One tall, camel looking fellow, well known in
thia vicinity a* Jordan, the Blacksmith, undertook
to speak the sentiment* of the partv. Upon
luring asked what he Utonght of Flonda, his
rather peculiar reply was: "l>nr'* many a man
dar dat can't git atf ay." Whatever Jord meant,
it was very clear that he and Ids caravan were
not only glad to " git away," but would certainly
(if left to their option) stay away, for all time
to come.?Edtjrfield AdetrlUrr.
Oca Cots missionkk?The Richmond Examiner,
speaking of the resolutions adopted by our Legislature,
and the appointment of a commissioner,
ray*:
"The resolutions in question have evidently
and prominently lor their object the speedy and
united aetiou oi the slave-holding States for concert
of action and unit unl protection again**Nort liern
aggression. Such resolutions, emanating
from the Legislature of a chivalrous, noble and
gallant Slate like that of South Carolina, will
doubtless receive the most respectfbl and earnest
attention from tlie Governor and Legislature of
Virginia.
" The Commissioner selected by the Govenor
of South Carolina to carry out the important
duties assigned to him by tlie nlx>ve resolutions,
will reach Richmond in a few days, and merits,
as lie will doubtless receive, the most distinguished
attention of the Legislature. He should, as a
matter of course, be received as the guest of the

Mr. Clobox.?A correspondent of the Charleston
Mercury thus speaks of the,appointment of
ttils gentleman to the control of the Agricultural
Bureau of t he Patent Office :
Hon. Thomas Q. Clemson (a son-in-law of the
great South Carolina statesman,) is to be appointed
" Agricultural of the Patent Office," which
will virtually place him at the head of the Agri
cultural Bureau?Mr. Brown baring had leave
to step out some months since. Mr. lemson is
admirably fitted for this |>osition, having a justly
high reputation as a scientific agriculturist, hacked
by practical experience. Since his return
from Belgium, where he resided some yeurs as
Charge iTAffairr*. he has resided on a plantation
at Bludensbiirg, in this vicinity. On several c.c
casions, when he has leetu*ed at the^mithsoninn

planters, and consumers generally, would
take the initiative in the present movement,
something might l?e accomplished. The mer
chants can do nothing towards effective non-intercourse
and Southern independence, as long as
purchasers will have Northern goods, because
lliey can buy tlicin chen|*-r than Southern.
The consumer and purchaser la the man to
strike the blow. Say to llie Southern merchant
that you will not buy Ids Northern gooits; act
out the declaration, and 3-011 may do something.
Jhm't expect the seller to make ail the sacrifice,

We venture the asset tion that there are few
KS!S!S!>!,i?? !n the StmtH who are not daily en- a
d<-avoring to economise, by tha employment of
Wit* maaAmies, if such a system deserve* to be
looked upon as even a present economy. The
owners of slave mechanics are enabled to find
remunerative employment for tlieir investm<nt
in the institution ..while fhe white mechanic is j
fore*4 to eke out but half a living beside the
sturdy negro, who fattens upon a price for his ,
labor, at which the white man cannot work with |
anything like an effort to maintain the distinction
to wM"li he should aspire. He ia not onlv forced j
to labor for the tame remuneration a* the slave (
mechanic, but often-time* find* difficulty to ae
curing work eu^ogh to keep him employed, on
account of the plei/Uode of negro mechanic*and ,
the accommodating U?n? upon which they may i
be obtained. <
We diaeover no impropriety In a alave-bolder I
possessing and using upon hi* premises negro labor
in such manner as lie may deem it valuable. 1
But the question weara quite a different costume '
when he throws this labor into competition with J
the white mechanic, thereby breaking down a (
scale of prices, at which the white man is able a
to maintain himself with something like comfort
and respectability. Although it would appear (
as circumscribing the tight of direction and use
of |?ro|iertv. there is no doubt that some lesral
enactment in reference to this matter will vet l>? *
necessary to curb tlic shortsighted policy ol thoac 1
who are daily and yearly cowing the aeodc of ^
disaffection to the institution by allowing it to ;
extend in privilege beyond ita appropriate Inti
tale.
Aaide from the injury which result* to the
wliita mechanic dirrrtly, there U incalculable j
damage to the general growth and enterprise of
any community where slave mechanic* prepon- _
derate. The net proceed* of their labor are
not, in general, active in circulation, and engaged
in building and other enterprise#, as arc those of
the white mechanic, Hence, the community, us a
whole, experiences a very serious draw-buck 0
and stagnating influence upon it* ultimate advantage.
If you quench the spirit of enterprise
and improvement in a community, you concentrate
the pecuniary resources thereof in the hande r
of the few, to be doled out most grudgingly in ^
any cause that does not guaranty the most direct
personal advantage. c
Our remarks upon this sulijeet are not made
with a view of stirring up strife or producing
discord where none exists. On the contrary,
they are made with an eye single to the welfare
of a common eause; whether they are accounted
for aught or not, we have the satisfaction of
knowing that we have acted our part in the
matter by drawing attention to the existence ol
a settle?) and determined sentiment on the part

If (hoM who li?v? so long roped a golden
harvest from the earnings of their slave mechanic*
cannot discern the evil effects growing therefrom,
the various Legislatures of the South
should unite of one accord in shutting out from
hostility to the white man, that element of lal>or, |
which, at a citizen of the South, he ia expected
to protect, even at the ri.-k of life.
