The winter with tn nntommon rage

im cnlng i here was to be a new. play for the benvtit
of Mr. I'luciile. Crowds sw'armed to the
?Ii. iitr?-~lt was the largest honse of the season,
and not less than 600 were present. The play
went off?the pantomime began?the first act was
over, an-1 all around wu mirth and vanity. At
this moment the scenery caught fire, and in a
few minutes the whole hnildlng was wrapt in
flames! The cry of.fire I fire I framed with eleotrie
veloc ity throughout the whole house, and
the eocne which followed was horrible beyond
description. There was bat one door for the
greatest part of the audlenoo to pnsa. Men, women
and children were pressing upon each olhyr,
while the flames were seising upon those behind.
Most, if not all of those who were tn the nit, escaped,
while those in the boxes were nnable to
gst down stairs before the flames overtook them.
Those behind urged by Ike pressing flames. Dush

people of every dfttHptiop began to fnll one np- ,

*omc half roasted I The most heart-rending cries
pervaded the house. Wives asking for their
husloitida?femalesnnd children shrieking, while
the gathering element came rolling on its curling
ilntnes and columns of smoke?threatening to devour
every human being in the building. Many
were trodden under foot. The stair-ways were
blocked up, and the throng was so great that
many were raised several feet over the heads of
the r?-st. Wltldn ten minutes after the Are
caught, the whole house was wrapt in flames,
ami tho scene which ensued it ia impossible to

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. Others were alike frantic,
and would have rushed to dvatructinnhut for the

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. More than a hundred Indie* and gentlemen,
belonging to the moet respected families
in the city, were present, all of whom were attired,
In port or in whole, in garment# made of
Virginia fabrics, woven in Virginia loom#. It
wag #trietly n Virginia cloth party.
A# n matter of course, the Indtes were far In
advance of the gcntlenteu iu their cogtuines.?
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.

Baltimore as a Commercial City.
A very interesting letter appears on our outside
to-day from a firm in Baltimore to Mr. John
W. Gsadt, of this place. The advantages which
Baltimore possesses as a commercial city, and the
spirit and feeling of her merchants and husineat
men, are set forth in strong language by the
writer. We invite for it an attentive perusal.

thouglit that Mr. Smith, of North Carolina, was
clccted.and he would lmve been hut for the chang.
ing of three votes. The following was the hallol:
Smith, 112 ; Sherman, 106; Corwin, 4. Mr. Smith
belongs to the Southern Opposition party?the
dwo last named are Black Republican*. Stisail
ax has withdrawn from th? contest. It is
thought that Smith will yet be elected.
Look Out for the Thief.
As wc go to press we learn that on the night of
the 27th ujt., a couple of horses were stolen, one
from Capb J. II. Asiimore, the other froin Mr. T.
Crank, some 7 or 8 miles below this place. The
thief gave his name as Smith, and en id, at one
time, that he was from Alabama, at another, from
York District. He was followed into Spartanburg
District, but as yet has made good his escape.
One of the horses has been recovered.
By reference to advertisement, it will be seen
that a reward is offered for the apprchausiou of
the thief and reeovery of the liorsc yet out.
The Female Coll see.
Wc learn that Miss Eliza F. Bowkx, of Washington,
Georgia, has been elected to fill the vacancy
in the Baptist Female College, in this
place, occasioned by the resignation of Prof. M.
W. Sams. She lias accepted the same, and w ill
enter upon her duties at the beginning of the
next seesion. 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.
We learn that liis health has recently been much
improved. The patrons of the College need not
apprehend any fears upoa the score of teacher*
A full complement will be in attendance upon
the opening of the session.

many thanks to our friend, R. A., who
sent us a club of new subscribers a week or

?uch material aid to our enterprise a* tliia. May
the greatest sueeeae attend all who would follow
hisesam|de. We know there are come at work
now for ua, and would like to know that there
were many more. The indueementa we offered
at the beginning of the year are Mill held out?
who will take advantage of themf Every man
in the couutry ought to take the Enterprise?we
think.
The Southerner.
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. Wailit, formerly the popular
editor of the Harrington flag, is at its head
as editor, we feel that sufficient line been said to
commend it to our read< rs. Its typography is
handsome, and its reading matter every way un

that its warmest friends could have desired it.
It ! published at I>arlington. S. C., at $2 per

Tho Charleston Convention.
There is no doubt that South Carolina will lis
represented in the Charleston Convention. We
know no reason why ih? should not he. So long I
as she continues to form a portion of the U nion,
she shoull endeavor to promote its peace anil
security. The question which is to determine her
continuance in the Union, will be decided in the
next presidential election. It is agreed by all,
that the election of Mf SkWsau, or any other
Black Republican upon the " irrepressible conflict"
platform, will be the death knell of the
Uoion. To avert this, it docs appear to us to
be the duly of all conservative and country loving
men, both North and Bouth ; and whilst it ie
doubted that there are sufficient good and true
men at the North to prevent the election of a
Black Rcpublican-for it must be remembered that
the South Is not alone able to elect a Democrat?a

home to the minds of our people. 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. We
have not for the last fifteen years purchased a i
carriage or a buggy which has been made at the 1
North. Yet, we have kept up a liliernl family i
supply of vehicles made at the South, and feel <
fully satisfied that we have been hone-'lly and <
faithfully served, and that we liars nut n 1
grenter average cost than would have been ex- 1
ponded had we purchased Northern made car- i
ling-s and buggies. |
We hnvc been n cr refill observer of the embnr- <
rnssments tlint have attended our Southern car- i
riage makers from the vast qunntity of cheap i
Northern carriages with which the South bus \
been flooded, and the perfect indifference that i
Southern consumers have manifested with regard I
to where a carriage was made; a large majority
of purchasers seem to forget that it is important
to Imve the maker of any article near at hand,
where redress enn easily he obtained fi r any defect
in the article purchased. A carriage mutt
of necessity be well made, if it is to be warranted i
and worn out iu tliu immediate vicinity ot the ,
builder.
This is a bronch of mechanism that Is rapidly
gaining a foothold at the South; fine, and, we
may snv, splendid carriages may be purchased ,
of Charleston make?no finer or better carriages,
buggies and n.igous can be purchased anywhere
than in Greenville, S. C. There is scarcely a vil- (
loge in the South now that lias not its huggy or
carriage shop, besides many country places where 1
wagons and all wheel-carriages nre made and re- <
paired?and if the South would only he true to
nereelf, and by strictly adhering to the system
of extending home patronage to all btancnes of <
Southern industry, Northern earrings would soon
he entirely exoiudeu from the commerce between
the North nnd the South, and we would see the ,
trade of every town and village in the South
stimulated by a busy throng of handicraft men
in the carriage and wagon-making line. ,
It was asserted hy a gentleman in a speech he- ,
fore the Legislature of South Carolina, in December
Inst, that Southern niwnufarttimw hml l.ppn
embarrassed nnd had fulled for the want of laborer*,
nnd that what the South needed more
than anything else, wan laborer*; hence, the ne- '
ccsaity of re-opeiiijig the Atrican alave trade.?
Let ue niMirc that gentleman of hie error, and
l>eg him to follow ua until we prove that manu
fncturing line not fagged, sickened and died for (
the want of laborers, but for the want ofSouthern
|?utronage to

Edmund Bacon, Esq.
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,
