»eoc« only obstructs the operations of those who
are actively engaged in saving properly, or extin
guishing the lire. The idle negroes were, in ma l
no cases, insubordinate—the great body of them,
however, were industrious, energetic, and very
useful.
We have endeavored above, to give such a de
scription and statement of this great calamity, as
was in our power, as far us the loss of pr perty
is concerned. Wo now come to the melancholy
task of recording the,
GREAT LOSS OF LIFE
that has been sustained, and which has plunged
many of our most worthy and respectable fanub
ies in the deepest distress.
We commence with that of Col Charles John
Btecdman, Naval Officer of the port, a gentlemen
long known as one of our moat activu and pub
lic spirited citizens, an i who on this calamitous
occasion, distinguished himself, previous to his
death, by his cool, cnorgi t c, and fearlt si conduct,
having assisted in blowing up u number ofbuil*
dings,and making himself prominently useful in'
numerous instances. The powder, in cassoons,
prepared for use, gave out early in the night, and
after that powder in kegs was employed, which
is always a dangerous procces. Col Slecdmaii
entered a bouse on the East side ol 13ay st, near
Hascll st. in company with Mr M F Turley, a
mulatto boy and several other persons with two
kegs of powder, for the purpose of blowing it up,
placing one in each room; one of them exploded
and blew up the building, while the three abov o
mentioned persons were within; Mr Turley was
immediately picked up, very much injured, but
it is believed, will eventually recover, though
probably much crippled. Persons immediately'
ran to the wreck to extricate Coi S. and the boy
while so engaged, capt Dull’, of the ship Her.
aid, reported in the evening paper as killed, be
ing on the roof; llio second cask exploded, and
lifted the roof up several feci, but fortunately
without any injury to capt D. who at ibis mo
ment is standing by ua in good health. Col S.
was then taken out, but life was extinct, it is
believed that ho was killed by the second explo
sion, as some say ho was heard to make an ex
clamation, afier the hon»e fell. The body of the
boy was not obtained, but consumed in the
building.
Mr Schnicrlo lost his life blowing up the
house at ho corner of Liberty and King sts ; he
also using a keg of powder, in the came manner
as Col Steed man. After tiro house fell, the
most strenuous exertions ware made to get him
out, and it was effected in a stunt time, and
while he was alive, but most terribly burned
i and mutilated.lie spoke codec edly to those who
took hold of him, was carried homo, and lived
♦ some half hour after ho reached there, his alfiic
i-ted family having the melancholy consolation of
hearing him converse before ho breathed his last.
Ho died in his perfect senses, conscious from the
tlrst moment that his life could not be preserved.
His loss will bo severely felt and deeply regret
ted. At the explosion that deprived Mr S. ot life,
Mr John S Peart, was also struck dead, proba
bly by boing thrown against something and in.
wardly injured, as there did not appear to be any
wounds externally that would have proved fatal.
Ho breathed hut a few moments after being ta
ken up. A colored maa was also killed at the
eame time.
Mr. Robert Monroe, who kept a Seed
;Store, in King-slreet, was found dead, on
Saturday morning, having either been burned
up in his store, or some part of the ruins fal
ling on him. He was most dreadfully lacer
ated, and dismembered.
One white man, we learn, fell down, and
was taken up and carried into a house in
Market-st. dead, having it is believed, died
from mere fright, or perhaps from apoplexy.
We did not learn lus name..
Mr. John D. Brown was on severely hurt,
«t the corner of Market and Church sic. that
his life is despaired ol; we could not ascertain
how the accident occurred.
These are all the fatal, or probably fatal
cases, that have yet come to our knowledge,
Several persons have received wounds, some
of them pretty scveie, and there may possibly
bo some other lives lost, not yet ascertained;
‘but we hope not.
i. Capt South wick, of the schr Empire, arriv
t «d Saturday evening, slates that he saw the
I light ol the (ire at 3 o’clock on that morning,
| -when 25 miles south of Savan nab, being in
I a direct line, about uigltiy miles from this ci
( ty. We have in our possession, a cinder,
| apparently the rornains of a piece of burnt
> linen or silk, which was picked up on the
£ morning of the fire, by a planter, 15 miles
| distant trom Charleston, where the light was
S’, distinctly seen and the noise,ot blowing up
* of houses heard.
3 We omitted to mention in the proper
place, that the now stores, on the old burnt
district, escaped with hardly anv damage, and
in the course ol a very short period will with
t out doubt, be completed, and occupied. The
|; -splendid store of Messrs Ripley, Miller, &Co
& at tl' o .corner of King and Society-st. will al-
K, so again be re-built, and that with the utmost
ffii expedition.
K Wc have given to our readers above, nil
5® details we could collect of this awful visi
fcf tation of Providence upop us. Wc have hoard
R the regrets of the rich, that thoir wealth has
mI .taken wings and flown from their grasp. We
K. ihave heard the complaints of those who were
in confortable circumstances, and in a lair
road to prosperity, that they , had to com
w inencc the world anew. Wc have seen the
poor man grieving that his all was gone, and
■ his wile and children left without a place to
Is Ity their Read, or covering for thoir bodies, —
■ and wo have heard too, the wails of the wi
8 dow and ophan, that they had not wherewith
« to satisfy the cravings of hunger. All this
£ Rave we board, and with all do we deeply,
most sincerely sympathise. But while we
have listened to those complaints, the con-
soling reflection comes with a strong and
overpowering conviction that the Almighty
has not thus chastised the people without an
B eye to their relief. Tho rich have the means
B of again hmassing weahn still open to then).

Awful Steamboat Disaster. V
By the arrival last evening of the steamer In*
dependence, captain Wheeler, tho following
heart rending intelligence has been received.—
1 he steamboat Oronuko, Crawford master, hence
on her passage to Louisville, collapsed otto of
her boiler dues on Saturday morning last at 5
o clock while taking in some passengers at Prince
ton, and out ot nearly seventy deck passengers
only one escaped being scalded to death or dan
gerously wounded. Many jumped overboard af
ter they were scalded, thinking no doubt, to ob
tain relief; and were drowned. Several were
left at Princeton (at least 15j dead or horribly .
Vraanglcd. /
Only one cabin passenger, a Mr. Brown, whs
lost. Mrs. Myers and child from Vicksburg,
were scalded—the latter died immediately, and
litile hopes were entertained of the mother. Out
0f33 who were left on board tho Oronuko, nine
died before she returned to Vicksburg, and ptoh
ably but live or six of those remaining would
survive twenty four hours. Among the dead is
one of the engineers, Mr Powers, who during his
lust moments asserted that the fault was not bis,
as there was a sufficient supply of water in tho
boilers at Iho lime of tho accident.
Lite greater portion of these unfortunate indi
-1 viduals were taken on board at Vicksburg, an
their names and destination had not been nor
could not be ascertained; neither was the precise
1 number on board, but doubtless seventy five. irt
divictuals suffered by the explosion, few of whom
can survive..
I It is stated that the steamer Peru passed up
i shortly after (he accident, and although hailed by
1 every signal of distress, not only by ringing the
• beli but by some hundred persons running to and
f fro on tho bank, waving their handkerchiefs, and
. exhibiting sheets from the hurricane deck of tbe
i Oronoko, she kept her course without rendering
any assistance whatever, and after assistance was
obtained from the steamers New Albany and In
, dependence, site returned and without offering
an assistant hand, obtained all the passengers
she could and proceeded on her way.
