A.S faithful fnonila nf a fVknaf it.nf lnfi' al Government and of 'local self -gov ernment, we merely enter a quiet but hrm protest against the downward tendencies in politics against the willingness and zeal of Southern men to surrender great principles for. "an appropriation." Having given our views of the right interpretation of the Conslitn tion, which we believe to be correct and unanswerable by any fair con structionjot language, and; having shown our earnestness in repelling an invasion! of the rights of the Sover eign Commonwealths by Federal rower, we shall not protract the dis cussion.

' r - ... Our . friend "of the Greensboro Workman makes a practical- S ugges- tion .concerning the school book bu siness, tie wishes the press to con sider it and then . have 'the. matter brought before the ensuing Legisla ture. Here it is as civ en in his own words: - "That the Superintendent of Public In struction be instructed to obtain the fullest information possible aa to all the elementa ry books used in the colleges, academies and schools of the State, with the dates, as jar as may be possible, of alt changes m such books that may have occurred in a given period say--five year past,, or at least and perhaps this would be better to require that all changes in books hereaf ter shall be duly reported to the department oi iruDiic instruction. ? j - : The common schools are tinder' the control of the Legislature, and; it is possible to prevent any changes in the books used in them ; We do not stop to consider' the quality and number of the books used , ;We once tried to prevent the; adoption of the plan in vogue for a State! Board to regulate the books for all the com mon schools, preferring that each county should have the privilege of choosing i for itself. We find the. State Board system growing" unpop ular in the North and after fair trial. But we do not purpose arguing the matter. The law prevails, good or bad.' The tbinsr for the press to do is to create such a strong public sen timent against cramming, persecu ting children with teo -many studies and the frequent i changes in ; the books thatjjie teaehers in the State will not disregard: it. There is no objection to the Workman's sugges tion, and the data thus gathered would serve a good purpose in en lightening the public . ' ! ; - STRANGE DOCTBINE. 'The Democratic members of Congress from North Carelna would be iustifled in voting against the Morrison Tariff bill, un less it included me repeaL of tne internal Kevenue taxes. Charlotte Hrnne-JJemocrat. Very , well. Then they : will all vote with Randall,' for the ; tax on whi6key ana Deer j will noc , oe "re pealed It might be retorted that the genuine friends of Tariff Reform 'would be justified in voting against the Morrison Tariff bill unless it in cluded tfae repeal" of the high tax on the poor man's necessaries, j But in that case they would vote against the' bill, as there is no more prospect of the tax on shoes, hats, blankets, &c, being "repealed" than there is of the tax on whiskey and beer being repealed. If 6uch declarations as the above are to be acted upon then there is an end to a government of a majority and the Democratic party will go inevitably to "the demnition bow-wows." Upon the 'same plea Randall and his followers will be justified in all .they may : do, and would have done right if they had voted against Carlisle for Speaker and gone with the Republicans. But why not work for the repeal of the system without the abolition of the tax f This is,' and always has been, the position of the Stab. George W. Cable, the! New Or- leans novelist, was the author of an amusing "sell" Mark Twain! got ' on "All Fool's Day." It is said the joker was furious, A Hartford spe cial to the Philadelphia Times says: "Mark Twain, of this city, has been the victim of a practical joke and 'is fairly crazy. Tuesday morning, April Fools' Uay, ne was surprised to receive: a Dunnie of over one hundred letters by: mail and later on that day received three hundred more, and up to last night I had over - a bushel of them scattered on a billiard table at his home.

' Forest Flrea la Bronawlck. On Wednesday last, while a gale of wind - was blowing, fire got out - by some means at Mrs. Vine's place, in Bruns wick county, and swept through the inter vening woods from thereto Mr. M. W. Hilbun's plantation,' a distance of about half a mile. Mr. Hilbun saw the approach of the flames, and fought them manfully for a while, with what assistance he could command, but finally had to retreat before the advancing column of fire, which at times attained to the height probably of about 25 feet, and at the same time produ cing such an intense heat that it was im possible to battle with it with any degree of success. Besides, the fire was getting dan gerously near his own premises and he had to harry home and take such steps as were necessary to .protect his own property. The flames leaped across hi? swamp fields and rushed madly through his timbered land, burning a few boxed trees, and finally reached his . place, where they destroyed jone of bis tenement houses and four hun dred and twenty-6even panels "of fence; and., also, burned a lot of fencing for Mr. R. J. Wilkinson. - A New Enterprise. : .- , The schooner Drummond, which was cleared at 'this port yesterday, for Aspin wall, by Messrs. Northrop & Gumming, carried out. as cargo 2.400 sawn railroad cross ties and 250 piles, all creosoled by a new process, of which Mr; J. D. Stanley, of this city, is. the patentee. The shipment is for the Panama Canal Company, and is part of a large contract secured by Messrs. Northrop & Cumming; other vessels be ing in waiting to receive cargoes at the works of Mr. Stanley, at the foot bf Castle street, where the timber is treated. . This new process for treating timber for its pre servation and for protection against the destructive salt water worm the teredo while it is more economical, is claimed to be superior to other known processes. The preservative agent used is creosote or "dead oil," a coal tar product, and is the same, tbatis generally used at wooa -preserving works in this country and Europe. The manner of its application is, however, different, and in the preparatory operation the timber is subjected to a dry heat which expels the . moisture, at the same time slightly charring or carbonizing the surface of the wood. The works, which have been in operation about two weeks, turn out about twenty five piles and -five hundred cross tics daily. They run night and day, and give employment to a number of men. The fender FIrei. We have some additional particulars Tn regard to the ravages of the forest fires in Pender county. The fire continued its course from its place of origin, near Mr. F. ,H. Bell's , place, to Ashton. Messrs. Usher & Newkirk's mill, four miles from Ashton, was destroyed, together with 10Q.i- 000 feet of lumber. A good many hogs and cattle perished in the flames, and a large number of turpentine trees, fences, &c. were burned. The principal sufferers so far as heard from now are Drs. Batch well aad Porter, and Messrs Evan Lar kins,, Daniel Shaw, George Picket, James Walker and Angus McClennan. . Mr. Walker ; lost his, fences and turpentine trees, and "Mr." McClennan lost all of his fences, a forty-barrel tar kiln and turpen tine trees. A lady living near Mr. tacK ett's, whose name our informant could not remember, lost a one hundred and forty- barrel stand of boxes. , " " Organization of a New Church. We learn from the Preibyterian that the Presbyterian church at Chadbourn, on the W., C. & A R. R, was organized on Sun day last by Rev. A. Kirkland.Evangelistof Wilmington Presbytery, with ten members. Mr. James H. Chadbourn, Jr., and Dr. H. S. Reynolds were ordained as ruling elders and installed. Joseph A. Brown was or dained deacon and installed. The congre gation, ; of different' Christian denomina tions, was large, and the people manifested great interest in the exercises. - "This little town," says our neighbor, "with fine re ligious advantages, a live newspaper and an energetic set of practical business men for . its j citizens, is on the high road to growth and prosperity." ' Foreign Exports. The German barque Marie, Capt. Per mien, was cleared from this port for New castle-on-Tyne,' England, yesterday, by Messrs.. Alex. Sprunt & 8fn, with 4,200 barrels 4t rosin, 500 barrels bf tar and 200 casks of spirits turpentine, valued at $10,- 050; also, the schooner R. J2t Drummond, Capt Higgins, for Aspinwall, United States of Colombia, by Messrs. Northrop & Cumming, with 208,000 feet of lumber, valued at $4,800. ..Total, $14,850. The matrimonial fever did not run yery high among the "white folks" of this county during the month of March.

AlrI.ue Kll- : roads, .,'.''..- " Fire has been raging, fearfully in the Rocky Point section, in Pender county. It commenced in the vicinity of Mr. F. H. Bell's place, about two miles from Rocky Point, and has devastated the whole coun try from there to the depot Dr. 8. S. Batchwell had all his crop and all his fences destroyed, and would have lost a good por tion of his. stock but for the fact that be caught them and tied them in the yard surrounding: his dwelling. Dr. EJ Porter .lost his erop and fences and the flames' swept through bis woods, burning many valuable trees. Mr. Evan Larkins lost his crop and fences and two hundred cords of wood. There are rumors that a good many stock have perished in the flames. ' ; Others suffered severely from, this de structive conflagration whose names have not yet been ascertained. It has been a great blow to those farmers in our Bister county who were the principal sufferers. At last accounts, the fire had spent itself, and no further damage Was apprehended. ;The high wind which pre vailed on Wednesday made the destruction more complete and wide-spread. We also understand that destructive fires raged along 'portions of the Carolina Cen tral and the Raleigh & Augusta Air-Line Kauroaus, burning two water stations, a great many cross ties and much wood. - The Methodist Church at Manly is reported destroyed. : On the C. C. road, from Lau- rinburg to Hamlet, there was great destruc tion, and the high winds prevented any such thing as extinguishing the flames. .These fires caused the dense smoke which hung like a pall over the city for a day or two, and it had not. entirely disappeared yesterday. . . The Exposition Meeting. . ; Quite a good attendance of our bust citi zens met last night pursuant to the call of the Mayor, to consider the question of or ganizing immediately for the purpose of making a good and complete exhibit at the State Exposition of all our mechanical, in dustrial and agricultural products. The meeting was called to order by Ma yor Hall, who, upon motion, was made permanent chairman, and John D. Bella my, Jr., Esq", was elected secretary. Upon motion of Mr. Frank M. King, a committee on i resolutions, consisting of Messrs. F. M. King, B. R. Moore and Ro ger Moore, was appointed. Mr. 8. G. Worth, Fish Commissioner, being present, enthusiastically and practi cally urged the necessity of making a fine exhibit of our resources. The Committee on Resolutions reported the following : Whereas, It is desirable that the city of Wilmington and the county of New Hanover should be properly represented at tne btate imposition an exposition wnicb we have every reason to believe will result in great good to the State of North Caroli na and especially to lie w nanover county, therefore, be it - -;.'. Revived, That the Board of County Com missioners be requested to appropriate a sum within the limits of their authority to further f tb exhibit on the part of New Hanover county. Resolved further. That a committee of three, consisting of Messrs. J. M. Forshee. W. B. McKoy and Charles W. Worth, be appointed, who shall at once apply for suit able space to display the resources of New Hanover county at the coming State Expo sition, and to solicit exhibits of every kind from individuals for said display. The resolutions being reported by F. M. King, chairman of the committee, they were adopted. Mr. W- B. McKoy moved a reconsideration, which motion- was de feated. Pending discussion, interest was mani fested upon the part of many present as to the proper' representation of the city and county, and alter tree discussion it was found to be the sense Jof the meeting that the gentlemen named in the resolutions should be the executive committee,to coop erate with a committee to be appointed by the Board of Countyommissioners. Ordered to the Dexter. Mr. M. T. Chevers, Chief Engineer of the.U. S. Revenue Chtter Colfax, has been ordered to report on board of the Revenue Cutter Dexter, at Newport, R. L, and will be succeeded on the Colfax by Chief Engi neer Harrison, of the former steamer. Mr Chevers has been attached to the Colfax ever since her arrival on this station nine years ago, having joined her in 1871. How he has discharged the duties of his responsible ' position is sufficiently at tested by the simple fact of ; bis hav ing been retained in his present place so long an evidence of appreciation rarely met with in the Revenue Marine Service, where changes are so frequent. Mr. Che vers made many warm friends during his stay here, who regret that duty calls him to another and somewhat distant field. He will leave for Newport to-morrow. The Orphan Asylum Superintendent Elected. )-".;- ' : We learn that the Board of Directors of the Oxford Orphan Asylum, at their meet ing April 1, elected to the responsible posi tion of Superintendent of that institution B.

Indian Appropriations and Other natters- im. the House " t IBy Telegraph to the Morning 8tar. ' : 1 - SENATE. Washikqtoii .Anril" 8. -The Chair laid before the Senate a message from the House of Representatives, yesterday. In re lation, to the protection of the levees of the lower Mississippi, j. . . " - . Alter the transaction of miscellaneous business, Mr. Blair Jnoved that the Senate,: dispensing with the calendar of casesnn- objected to, proceed at once to the conside ration of the Education bill. '. . -. The motion was aereed to. Mr. Cockerell saying that he would not object, to such a motion this morning, but would give notice. that tn future he should object to the inter ruption of the morning business. : ar. fendleton said his fudgment was- clear as to : what should be done, but his sympathies and sensibilities were impelling him m another direction. This was a bin to appropriate one hundred and five milr lion sol l am Tor eaucanon w limn ' me State&The money to be expended through seriesnof ten years, if three hundred mil-1 lion dollars had sufficed for the expenses of the government heretofore, additional taxes must' be levied to meet this expense tax on tobacco or whiskey produced within the United States, or on corn, r something else imported into the United State. The government' of the United States had no independent fortune .It had not a dollar except what was contributed in taxes by the people, and if we were wise we would in the first section of the bill im pose a tax.' It would have been well if, in this bill, the first section had said that on all woollen goods or on all iron and steeL manufactures imported into the United States, and all whiskey and tobacco manu factured in the United States, taxes here tofore imposed should for the purposes of the bill be increased by so much per cent. He sympathized fully with the object of the bill, recognized the suffering and losses ex perienced by the Southern people and ap preciated the statements made by Dr. Ma yo and others, and had heard those state- ments with a leeung oi nonesi priae tnat the people of the South were brethren of ours; coheirs of the same liberty and worthy to be members of the same free govern ment. . Mr. Pendleton paid a high tribute to the energy and impartiality of Mr. Blair, as chairman of the committee on Educa tion; for the spirit which he had displayed in connection with the biu and the willing ness that i he had shown to have the bill amended in any way that would not des troy its substance. Mr. Pendleton agreed fully with the remarks of the Senator from Mississippi (Liamar) some aays ago. regara- iag the advantages of education to men as citizens of a free republic If the alternative were between this bill and the illiteracy complained of, he would .be strongly in clined to favor the bill; but there was an other and a constitutional way out of the difficulty. Mr. Pendleton could not find in. the constitution any authority for a bill bt Ibis Character. The gentleman from New Hampshire (Blair) bad said that the fovernment had power to perpetuate itself, e had said that the education of our citi zens was necessary to the perpetuation of our form of government. In making that statement the Senator had gone far beyond the tenth amendment to the constitution. The government had no such power to perpetuate itself as was intimated by the Senator from New Hampshire, it wiuun the limits of the constitution no power could be found to enable the government to perpetuate itself, the government mast fall, even though tne alternative anouia be the life or death of the government He had delightedly looked into the consti tution but could not find there the grants invoked bv-lhe supporters of the bill. If illiteracy was fatal to the right exercise of ( suffrage. It was as ratal in states that were able but unwilling to educate their chil dren as it was in those that were unable to do so. And if this bill were correct in principle. Congress wsuld have to educate the children of unwilling States as well as those of States that were unable to educate them. 1 Mr. Pendleton was followed by Mr. Beck in a speech upon the tariff and reve nue and incidentally upon the educational bill. I Mr. Williams inquired of the chair as to what the business before the Senate was. The chair replied that the pending ques tion was on the motion of the gentleman from Kansas (Plumb) to recommit the bill to the committee. To recommit what ?" asked Mr. Wil Hams. ' - "The Educational bill," replied the Chair. 'Ah!" remarked Mr. Williams, amid the laughter of Senators- Mr. Williams continued, that this debate had covered so wide a range that he had got out to sea and lost his reckoning; and it re am red some effort to collect his thoughts to get back to the subject which the Chair had informed mm was me suoiect Dei ore the Senate. The bill, he said, had been de bated for three weeks and everything but education h'ad been talked about. The provi- vision of the constitution imposing on Congress the duty of promoting the general welfare was the same as that requirlBgit to provide for the common defence. - What ever right Congress had as to one it had as to the other. No one doubted the right of Congress to provide for the common de fence. Mr. Williams had no doubt as to the constitutionality of the measure, and if he had a doubt he would give the benefit of it to poor struggling human souls living and dying in ignorance and vice. Me would try to get some light into the prison house of the ignorant that would lead them up to a higher plane of manhood. In reply to a Question by Mr. Morgan, Mr. Williams said that education maue Deuer men oi negroes as well as of white men. Refer ring to Mr. Sherman's remark that the Southern States could not be trusted with money, Mr. Williams said that that Sena tor over-estimated the race question in - the South. Every man who knew the South knew that there was more prejudice against the negro in the North than in the South. To say that there was any intention or prospect of this common school, machinery becoming a political engine was to trifle with the great subject Those who .sup ported the bill, he said, even the principal promoter of it, the Senator from New Hampshire, Mr. Blair, in reply to a ques tion, by Mr. Williams, had distinctly dis claimed any intention of the sort, and Mr. Williams' had not the remotest idea that any such question would ever arise in connection with it. There was no force In the objection that the Federal Government might interfere. It had not heretofore inter fered in States to which it had given land grants r or schools. There could be no free dom, Mr. Williams continued, where igno rance and prejudice prevail. The bondage of the task-master was not half so galling as the bondage of ignorance and vice; for while one enslaved the body the other en slaved the immortal soul. Mr. Morrill said that from the tariff cha racterof Mr. Beck's speech, he supposed that Senator was afraid that if he did not cet a sneech off in connection with the TMnnnt inn hill tin wnllld have DO ODDOrtU nity of getting it off at all, and Mr. Morrill said that if the country could be assured that the Morrison bill would never reach the Senate he thought the country would feel preatlv relieved. r Mr. Bayard secured the floor, butyielded to a motion to adiourn.

Ed- meatlonal Bill Indian Appropria tions and the' Private Calendar Tra der Consideration In the House, j ' SENATE. -; -.. :':'U-:- Washington, April 4. Mr. Cameron. of Wis., from the committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, reported favorably a bill for the erection of a public building at Fortress Monroe, Va. Placed on the calendar. ! i Mr. Jonas submitted a joint , resolution which was referred to the committee on Improvements of the Mississippi, making an appropriation of $1UU.UUU for the pro tection of the existing levees on the lower Mississippi. i : ,. : lhe regular order was dispensed with. the Educational bill taken up, and Mr. Bayard took the floor. It had been his in tention, Mr. Baynrd said, to cast a silent vote on this measure; but the debate had more and more shown the interest and im portance of it. Just in proportion as its importance and necessity had grown upon him, so had his desire to find justification for it But he thought that it was seldom that a measure could be brought before Congress that would have such an effect on our form of government as the bill now Detore the Senate, it was a proposition to tax the people of. the United States to sup port education in the respective States;; it was a proposition accompanied with a con dition that condition being that in the proportion of ignorance existing in the States, the money was to be expended. Under that condition the money was to be expended f by the general government Acting as representative men executing a grand trust of public power, under lumta tioas of a written charier, not only under kcivil obligations but under those of religion added, it was the duty of. members to look carefully to their votes m this body. Mr. .Bayard read from newspapers with which he- said the Senator from Rhode Island (Mr. Anthony) was connected, in "which, speaking of Mr. Blair s bill, an edi torial, said the passage of it would be ultra Constitutional, though necessary authority as a logical consequence of the enfranchise paen of the negro, and that State schools woulJ have to conform to the views of .the general government Mr. Bayard assented to those views, so far as concerned the ul tra constitutionality of the bill. Never be fore, he said, had the conflict between duty and inclination been so great with him as row. . Mr. Gibson followed in an argument up holding the constitutionality of the bill. Mr. Morgan spoke against the bilL He characterized it as the most magnificent in its proportions that had ever been brought before the Senate. It was a bill not for governmental, but for a charitable purpose. pr purpose of public cultivation, having for its end the bettering of : the condition of private citizens,' mere unit atoms in our body politic. The legislatures of none of jthe States: had i instructed any of their ISenators or Representatives in Con gress to aid in . the appropriation of ny -money -for public education. In the Senate the bill had been received with rather a cold welcome especially by some of the older members. They were afraid that they did not possess the consti tutional power to do the thing which this frill requested of them. As between the two sides of the 'Chamber, Mr. Morgan thought there was about an equal division of opinion as to the constitutionality of the bill. As the subject was a new one, and the scheme grand and far-reaching, he thought it would be better to defer final faction until the people shall have been con sulted. But, inasmuch as there were still unacted upon by the House. of Representa tives about 148 of 160 bills which . the Sen ate had passed at this session, he. did not see much prospect of the measure getting through the present Congress. No amend ment that could be made to the bill would make it any more acceptable to Mr. Morgan, On the contrary, the more amendments had been offered the more they looked to giving to the general government control of the admininistration oi the funds. let no would not be surprised if the friends of the measure on his side of the chamber, in their eagerness to get hold of the money; would yield to the demand for the control of the fund by the general government. It was unnecessary for him, Mr. Morgan con tinued, to say that he favored education but he denied that the South was in the lamentable condition which bad been rep resented by Senators. Mr. Morgan then entered upon the constitutional phases the question. ? At 5:20 Mr. Morgan gave way for a mo tion to adjourn. . . Before adjournment Mr. Butler submit ted, in order to have printed, the following amendment, which he intends to propose to the bill as soon as it is in order to do so, viz: The money to be provided for in this bill shall be raised by a direct tax to be levied annually upon each of the States of the United States which shall be apporlion al among the several States, according to its respective members. r - The Senate, then adjourned till to mor row. . -:. i ' i .. , HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The morning hour having been dis pensed with the House, at 12.15, went into committee of the Whole, Mr. Wellborn, of Texas, in the Chair, on the Indian Appro- pnation bill. - Consideration of the bQl having beerr concluded, the committee rose and the bill was passed, and the House went into com mittee of the Whole on the Private Calen dar. - The committee remained in session until 4 50 P. M., considering a bill to re lieve certain soldiers Of the late ' war - from the charge of desertion, but no final action was arrived at. Mr. Cook, of Iowa, presented to the House to-dav. through the petition box. paper, signed by about , fifty citizens of Avery, Iowa, which can hardly be termed a petition, since it opens with the words, "We, the undersigned" sovereign citizens, hereby respectfully, command you, : our servants." demanding the passage of a bill to construct a double-track steel railway NO. 24 from New York to San Francisco, and declaring that not another dollar should be lent to the - national banks or squandered on canals.

Mr. Garland. from the committee on Judiciary, reported favorably, with amendment, the House bill making it a felony for a person to falsely or fraudlently assume or pretend to be an ; officer or- employe of the U.

It was read three times and passed, lhe penalty - prescribed for the offence named is a fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment of not longer than" three years, or both. Mr. Hale gave notice that he would on Monday, whether the. Education bill should then have been disposed of or not, ask the Senate to take up the Naval Appropriation bill. ".--,' ", .: v.:-, .;-;; . r , v .... , r . Mr: Blair expressed the hope that the Senate would consider the Education bill as important as any other. In order that action may be had upon the bill bv the House of -. Representatives at the present session, it was necessary,-Mr. Blair said, that it should be disposed of in the Senate as soon as practicable, 'j jr-; , - j -Mr. Hale remarked that the Education bill bad now occupied the time of the Sen- -ate during nearly three weeks, and if any oiner Dusmess was to be done that bill could not be allowed to run its slow length much longer. - : Mr. Blair replied that he had observed ., no disposition on the part of the Senate to shirk labor on that bill; and had not noticed that the speeches on the subject were lack- , ing in public interest. He hoped the com mittee on Appropriations would permit the consideration of the Education bill to proceed, since it had progressed so far. After the passage of the bill to authorize the building of a bridge across St. r Croix river and the adoption of a resolution call ing for the report of Lieut. Setwatkas on the reconnoisance m Alaska, Mr. Blair moved that the Senate resume considera tion of the Education bilL Agreed to. Mr. Morgan, who had the floor vester- day, continued his remarks in opposition to the bilL . Mr. Plumb's motion to re commit was withdrawn, as were Mr. Har rison's amendments. Mr. Logan's amend ment increasing the total expenditure to $136,500,000 was voted down, as was his amendment appropriating two millions for school houses; but his third amendment. providing that no State should receive the benefit of the -fund that did not distribute all school funds equally for all children, without regard to race or color, was adopted. Mr. Blaine accepted Mr. Hoar's amendment reducing the appropriation for the" five years from fifteen to seven millions, but the Senate adjourned without action upon it after agreeing that debate should close Monday, and that a vote upon the bill be taken before adjournment.

A convention of Southern cotton mill representatives was held here to-day for the purpose of discuss ing the question of the supply and demand for cotton goods. It was stated in the cir cular issued by the Augusta mill men, who originated the call for the Convention, that it was their belief that the purchasing pow er is not equal o the supply, and that for the benefit of all concerned it was of the greatest importance that some plan should be agreed upon to reduce the production of cotton goods. : President Hickman, of the Graniteville Manufacturing Company, called the Con vention to order, and welcomed the manu facturers to Augusta. - J. F. Hanson, of Macon, was elected President and A. H.

A large number of cross-ties and an i immense amount of wood and lumser were , destroyed along the line of the railroad, and the turpentine orchards of the whole section have been entirely destroyed! Manly was in imminent danger of total destruction. The railroad warehouse caught on fire sev eral times but was extinguished. The Methodist Church, five storage : warehouses for guano and cotton, the town guard house, the barn and stables of Mr. W. C. Petty and a flat car on the side (track at Manly were burned.

Doubtless many farm houses have been consumed, but the only one we have posi tively heard of is that of Mr, Henderson, near Hamlet who lost his residence, together with all outhouses oh the prem ises. : The whole community has been busy during the night fighting Jthe fire. The heat from the fire was so oppressive at times that it was necessary for the doors and windows of the passenger train to be closed while passing through it Vast masses of fire were actually thrown through the air by the sweeping gale. Tops of half burned pines were thrown great distances and fell in the middle of cleared fields. The .fire towered to an amazing height and so vivid was its glare that it made all objects plain at great distances. The people were terribly alarmed. ;i At Blue's Crossing and at Keyse'r people gathered in large numbers -and fought the flames with such: energy and desperation that those places escaped with little if any - damage. It! is i reported , that manv dozen turpentine distilleries are ' completely destroyed, as , well las large quantities of rosin, turpentine and other naval stores. It is thought that the fire has extended beyond Hamlet into Soath Caro lina. Its full sweep may- be oyer a-dia tance of 'fifty or sixty miles. . r. t V;U' i ht -
