Wltldn ten minutes after the Are caught, the whole house was wrapt in flames, ami tho scene which ensued it ia impossible to I tint. Women with disheveled hair, fathers and mother* dunking out for their children, husband* for their wives, brothers for their sisters, tilled the whole arena outside of the building ? Some who had escaped, plunged ntrain into ths Ha tin-* to save some dear object of their regard, and they perished.

A Hcmesptm Party. The movement towards southern independence is ptsvgwsMng steadily. The people of Virginia nro in dead earnest about thia matter.? While wc gentlemen have contented ourselves, as yet. with meetings, speeches, Ac., the ladies have begun to act. Without noise, tliey have eomineneed to give force and color to our resolutions?to put our theories into practice. We had the pleasure a few evenings ago, of attending a "homespun party.'* given bv a patriotic lady of this pitj*, whose excellent good sense prompted her to substitute deed# for words, and to inaugurate at once that system of aelf-indepen denec wli'eli line been the theme of the innumerable public meeting# held recently in every count}* of the ft ate. The party was, decidedly, a brilliant success.

Many of the latter wore but. a aingle article of clothing made of material produced and manutucitired In the State; some indeed had not even so iHich-B* a Virginia pocket handkerchief; but I ho ladies, wit bout exception, were dressed from top to toe in home-made apparel. And it was wonderful to see how the plain homespun become them. We were particularly struck with the effect which gas light and it little trimming produces upon the commonest while osnaburgs and flannel. Only by the closest inspection would the eye be convinced that this rough, coarse stuff, was not the finest crape Cushmere. of a delicate cream color, ft'or were the bine and the broa'n | homespun plaids le?e becoming to the fair wear- I era than the osnaburgs. Not an article of icwelry I was to be seen anywhere, not an artificial flower or ornament of any kind. Even the laces were made at home of ordinary cotton. Doubtless, the light of patriotism which beamed from the lovely faces of the maids and matrons helped to give the plain garments a comeliness not iiitrinsicully their own ; but, be that as it mav, we declare heartily, tlint we never attended a party where the ladies looked better, or where both sexes seemed to enjoy themselves more heartily and universally.

From the flattering recommendations of those who are acquainted with her, ws think the selection a very happy oue for the institution, and we congratulate the fiieuda and patrons of the College upon its prospects for fu ture usefulness. We would state, in connection with th? altovs notice, that, not withstanding the resignation of President Dumcax, on accountof ill health, which we mentioned in our lust, it is quite probable that he will be able to return and remaio in the school until the expiration of the next session.

It has been our fault that the appearanoc of this handsome Southern and State's Higfits paper has not been announced by us a little sooner. We undertake to do it now, in the hope that it is not too late to pay it our tribute. When we state that Maj. F. F.

The question which is to determine her continuance in the Union, will be decided in the next presidential election.

The Senthern people, unless they make the effort to develops them, will never know what resoureesthey have, or to what extent they are capable of becoming independent and free. We invite an attentive perusal of the well-timed remarks of the correspondent alluded to: " The manufacture of wagons, carriages and buggies, lias Iteen struggling to obtain a foothold among us for thirty years, lunch capital list been snnk in thnt way, and many enterprising, Indus trious proprietors have been starved out by the floods of 1 ankee work which has been made up for sale by workmen far away from us, from whom we cannot look for redress If the vehicle prove to be defective, and, as sometime* ha* been j the cose, almost worthless We do not pretend to say good carriages have not been made in the Northern States, and sent to the South, or that 1 such are not now otfered and sold here by many worthy men engaged in that, trade, hut we hazard nothing in asserting that millions of dollars have < | been lost to the South by the purchase of what, i we may call trash in that line of trade.

I have frequently sscn in newspapers what purported to be anecdote* of this remarkable man, all af which are calculated to produce a most inaccurate and unjust estimate of his character, lie ecrtaiuly possessed, in an eminent degree, great wit?an inexhaustible fund of anecdotegroat musical talent, nnd, in one word, all social and fascinating qualities Bui it is most unjust to him to suppose that he was any tiling of a buffoon or common joker. I have never known a man who was at all times, and under all cl renin stances, a more polished and elegant gentleman. As an orntor, he had few equals. When a boy at school in Augurta, General Washington, in his Southern tour, visited that place, and was invited to an exhibition in the school. It was arranged that on hia entrance young Bacon should deliver an address to him in blank verse, composed for the occasion. So admirably was it delivered, that, accustomed as General Washington was to such scenes, it drew tears from his eye*. This I have heard from a person who win present. On General Washington's return home he sent to young Bacon a copy of Cicero's Orations, with a complimentary note. It may well lie supposed how remarkable mnst have been Ids performance, to have produced (Ids effect at the time, and to be thus remembered. I have often been at dinner parties (most fre qucnuy m 11 is own nous?) where 1 have seen him entertain hi* company with gongs and stories surpassing anything I have seen on the stage, or off it. To his ?tori?s he gave a dramatic effect by describing, in advauce, the dramatis persona?, and would in his narrativo always speak in the character and Voice of eaoh person. 1 think the concurring testimony of tha few survivors of these scenes would be, tlint in varied social qualities and powers of delighting Ids company, they have not known ids equal? and the company thus nsaetuhlcd at Ids table were no common men : McDuffie, l'ickens Butler, George Butler, I'ieree Butler, Gen.
