hove mentioned, as shewn in the extracts published
in our last; in noticing his letter, developing bis
constitutional ineligibility to the Presidency, wo
observed : “We shall now, as before, consider it
oar duty to take no part in the contest for the
Presidency, and urge the same course upon the
southern people generally.”—Thus, it must l>e
obvious to every impartial reader, that our course
was precisely the same, before and after the nomi
nation, without the least change of principle, in
the nomination itself, which was made to atotise
into action the despairing honesty and virtue of
the people, and avert the nomination of a nouthern
candidate. Mr. Duane—take him altogether—
was an exception, in position, principles, opinions,
practice, and public virtue—from whose support
or success much good was to be hoped, and appa
rently no evil to be feared ; ns such we cordially
nominated him; and we would now, again, with
the same views and opinions we then held, as
cordially nominate'and support just such another
man—such another exception. He might have
done the whole form try much good, and apparent
ly could do the south no possible harm, let his
course be what it might—would have kept a
sonthem candidate out of tho field, and averted
another degrading southern scramble fur a south
ern man, regardless of principle —ami withal, he
was no Force Jtct matt , either, let the Journal say
what it will. \\ e dislike lietting, decidedly, but
if the Journal is still as confident that he is or was
a Force Act man, as we are that he was and is
not, it may name any bet it pleases, in proof of
its sincerity, and we will lake it up, be it, or its
odds against us, what they may.
We shall continue the subject in our next, in
reply to some two or throe of the details of the

About half past 13 o'clock this morning, mi

ginate in a small wooden building, occupied as a
Wheelwright’s shop, within a few doors of Kame’a

latter, was rapidly destroyed. The wind being in
a westerly direction, the flames extended to the
opposite side ns far South as Market-street. At

houses immediately on meeting-street, on (he W.
side, between Market and Ha/.ell, except two large
brick houses, adjoining each other, at the corner i
of Meeting amt Market streets. On the other
side the scene is appalling—every thing between j
Hazpll and Market streets is gone, and a lew lion

on (die North, Meeting on ,| IC West, Market on

all in flames or ruins except one or two tire-proof j
buildings, which it is hardly possible to save. The I
fire has also crossed Maiden lame, and la burning 1
rapidly eastward to Anson street. We have just I
learned that the Beet Market is also on lire. There
is no calculating the extent of loss which will

side of Anson, live or six buildings nearly opposite
the bit gar Refinery were destroyed, among them
the old Masonic Lodge, which was blown up.
Here, in a thick nest of Wooden buildings, the
progressol the fire towards the river was arrested
by the blowing up of a house. The Methodist I

ing up of Mrs. Thompson’s house, at the corner
of Maiden Lane. The lire crossed Hasel street

bakery, tho building belonging to Mr. Walkers
stone rotters yard, and Dr. Wordemau's officc.-i
were tho only buildings immediately on tin- street
between Market ami Hasel streets which escaped.
Mr. Vanderlyn’s large Rotunda, built tor the ex
hibition of his Panoramas, which stood hack
from the street, was for a long time in great dan
der, but was saved by the direction of the wind—
a most fortunate occurrence, as the building is
eery large, composed altogether of wood, and
would have fed a blaze, had it been kindled,
which would have ruinously increased the spread
of the conflagration. The splendid panorama of
the Palace aafl Gardens of Verseillea, now exhibit
ing, was in the building at tho time. By great
exertions, in pulling down the roof of the Beef
Market which was burning, the five was preven
ted from crossing to the South of Maikot street.
Great praise is due to the firemen engaged in this
quarter, to whose energy and perseverance we
take pleasure in bearing testimony. It was here
that two negro men were injured, one of them
severely, by fulling through tho roof, the only per
sonal accident of any importance which occurred.
We have found it impossible to give in to-day’s
paper an accurate list of the su Herein, and of the
houses burnt. It will be furnished to-morrow in
the Engineer’s Report. The nil ailier of houses
destroyed is estimated at not far short of Turks

perhaps half a million of dollars. Os this proper

which a very heavy portion thus falls 01 , those

The number of buildings destroyed iu this wide
spread conflagration, is estimated at from 3 to 400,
some, some of them large brick mansions, hut
much the larger portion of them two story frame
houses. Only a small portion of the buildings
consumed, as compared with the whole, were oc
cupied as stores—the loss of goods or merchandize
is, therefore, probably not very great in proportion
to tho extent of the tire, but the loss of furniture
must be very considerable.— Courier.

Project for Gin benefit of ChnrlnNton i
and Hamburg, 8. C.
The ever active enterprize of Henry
Shultz, the fuunder of Hamburg, S,C.
is now engaged in a scheme which, if
successful, will redound greatly to the
advantage of this city, and to that of
Hamburg, and the South Carolina Rail
Road Company, and add much to his al
ready high reputation for energy, sagaci
ty, and public spirit.
A new and great impetus having been
given by the Prussian Government to
manufactures, nut only in the Prussian
dominions, but in the neighboring parts
of Germany,—old Hamburg will become
tlie outlet of much of the consequent in
creased trade, and Mr. Shultz, is ncgoci
ating to insure a direct intercourse be
tween that city and Charleston, and
through Charleston, by the Rail Road,
with Hamburg, on the Savannah. The
advantages will be an immediate ex
change of commodities, free of the inter
mediate expenses incurred by a second
j hand trade with the merchants of New
Vork, and other northern cities. Mr.
Shultz, transmits tho most satisfactory
testimonials to the authorities in Ham
burg, Berlin, &c. from his Excellency the
Governor, the Rail Road Company, and
Olivers, and will, it is to be hoped, succeed
, in his negotiation.

f Direct Trade between Hamburg in A
j ineriru, ami Hamburg in Europe. —The
enterprising spirit of Henry Shultz,
ever teeming with plansof public useful
-1 ness, has projected a scheme of direct in
! (ercourse between the flourishing town,
which he has founded on the southern
border of this State, and the great com
mercial emporium bearing the same name
in Eurone. The reputation, which Mr.
Shultz, lias already earned for an enligh
tened forecast, and an indefatigable per
severance in (he consummation of his,
plan, rising superior to obstacles the most
formidable, and almost insensible to dis
couragement, is calculated to inspire a
silting confidence in the success of any
enterpriz.e, to which he may apply his
active and untiring energies. The town
which his genius has planted firmly, on
tin ancient quagmire, and the noble bridge
and wharf, which form the pillars of its
commerce and prosperity, constitute a
splendid and enduring monument of his
usefulness and fame—both of which will
we trust become more widely extended \
by the successful establishment of the 1
contemplated commercial connexion be- *
tween his native and adopted country, i
The benefit of (his new project will con- 1
sist in (he advantages which (he direct *
lias over the circuitous trade—in the im- 1
mediate exchange ofourgrealstaple with !
the manufactures of the European conti- ’
nent, and especially in an increased in
tercourse with the enlightened and pros
{ piTous Kingdom of Prussia, in which the
Cultivation of hemp, on a large scale, for ‘
j the manufacture ol option bagging, is a- 1
bout to be undertaken under royal auspi- 1
res, and manufacturing resources gener
ally, have of late been greatly enlarged ‘
j ami improved, and from die dense popu- *
I lation of which, we may gain a valuable i
accession of educated, moral, and Indus- t
I nous citizens. i

Whereas, Henry Shultz,the Founder '
of the Town of Hamburg, in this Stale,
has projected a plan for opening a direct 1
commerce between Hamburgh in Europe, 1
and Hamburg in America, and has re- !
quested me, as the Governor anil Com
mander-in Chief of the State of South ,
Carolina, to certify such facts, ami ex- 1
press such opinions, i;i relation to his ca
pacity, public spirit, and usefulness, as
may enable all persons interested in the
new branch id’commerce contemplated,
to form a correct estimate of (he credit
due to his statements, ami of all the ’
weight to which his opinions arc entitled,
j touching the premises : Now, therefore, 1
j 1 do hereby make known to all whom it.
may concern, that the aforesaid Henry
Shultz, i-, in my opinion, eminently,
distinguished tor enterprise, sagacity,
perseverance and public spirit, qualities
of which numerous monuments, equally
hemdieial to (lie public, ami .honorable to
himself, furnish ample testimony. A
mongst these may be enumerated the-
Bridge across the Savannah River, so
constructed as to bid defiance to tho
floods, an achievment often attempted
before, but never successfully, and which
has greatly benelitted the commerce of
two States; the Wharf at Hamburg,
highly useful to (hat city ; aline of in
land navigation between Hamburg ami
the city of Charleston, successfully es
tablished by his perseverance, as it, was
projected by his sagacity, when it was
generally deemed impracticable,' and
which lias greatly promoted the prosperi
ty of the State; and finally, the Town of
Hamburg, now standing up m a solid
■ foundation, upon a site which he found a
‘ quagmire, iu which between thirty-live
and forty thousand bales of Cotton are
’ annually brought to market. This Town
. standing at (he head of the longest Rail
, Road in the world, ami communicating
; directly and daily with the emporium of
’ 'he Stale, will Ittrnish great advantages
1 for foreign agents to purchase Cotton di
' rectlv from the maker, instead ofpur
chasing it from speculators in Ncw-Y«rk,
r Philadelphia, ami elsewhere, encumbered
. with numerous intermediate expenses.
■ Additional facilities will be given to
■ the commerce of the place by a Bank,
which (he Legislature will readily clvar
■ ter, {(‘application is made for it. This
town has been built by tlie enterprize
and indefatigable perseverance of Henry
Shultz, under the fostering care and
patronage of the State of South Carolina;
and in the progress of its establishment,
Henry Shultz, has had large pecuniary
s transactions with tho State, which have
all been satisfactorily and finally afljus
, led.
i “In conclusion, 1 take occasion toex
s press the opinion lung entertained, that
tae extension of a direct commerce be
tween the t uttou growing spates of the
■ American Confederacy, and tlie Conti
nent ol Kuropc, consisting of an exchange
ot our staple for the manufactures of the
Continent, would greatly conduce to 1
their mutual prosperity: and to express I
the hope that a native of Germany, now |
a citizen of South Carolina, may be the i
instrument ot rendering an equal benefit j
to his native and his adopted country, by j
opening a new channel of commerce, i
founded upon the principles of friendly j
reciprocity, which tlie State of South I
Carolina lias always cherished, in her
intercourse with foreign States. 1 have

“ Dear Sir—The project which you
iiave disclosed to me in relation to the
town of Hamburg, on the Savannah, hav
ing for its object the establishment of a
direct commercial connexion and inter
course with the great city of the same
name in Europe, is worthy of your geni
us, and is well calculated to excite the
interest of all patriotic citizens, who have
their attention drawn to the means of
promoting the interest of the country.
It evinces (hat deep forecast, that ready
and enlightened perception of the course
of events and the t ndency of measures,
which have hitherto characterized your
undertakings, all of which have more
eminently contributed to the public good,
than to the advancement of your private
fortune. Having heretofore, as the law
officer of the Stale, been intimately asso
ciated with you, in many of the measures
adopted during the progress of your town
ofllamhurg, it affords me very great
pleasure to bear testimony to the real
ami perseverance, integrity of purpose,
and fidelity to engagements, which you
exhibited throughout that connexion,
resulting in a manner so fatisfactory
to the Legislature. Feeling, therefore,
a particular welfare in the interest and
advancment of your town, as well on
account of its enterprizing and pub
blic spirited founder, as on account of its
increasing importance to the State, 1
cannot forbear to congratulate you upon
its growing prospect. And I improve the
occasion to express my hope that your
present project may be as successful for
the town, and as beneficial to the coun
try, as those others which you have here
tofore accomplished, and which have
proved so extensively useful. I am, sir,
very respectfully, Yours, &c.

! SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE.
As Prcsidenl of the Board of Trustees,
| I am charged with the gratifying duty of
j announcing to the public the result of its
! proceedings, at the meeting recently held
for the purpose of filling the vacant pro
fessorships in the College. Four proles
sors of high character and qualifications
have been elected; and such was the
number of candidates, ol eminent and
nearly equal pretensions, presented to
the Board, that the only difficulty ex
perienced was in making a choice be
tween persons well qualified to fill the
respective vacancies.
Dr. Francis Lif.uer, of Philadelphia,
has been elected Professor ol Political
Economy and History. From the very
strong and unqualified recommendation
of some of the profourldest scholars and
distinguished men in Europe and Ameri
ca, aslwell as from the personal knowledge
of some members of the Board, it is con
fidently believed that this gentleman will
prove a very valuable acquisition to the
Science and Literature of the State.
He brings with him the most unqualifi
ed testimonial in his favor, of the great
German Historian Neibhur, whose fa
vorite pupil he was, and the unusually
earnest recommendation of Chancellor
Kent, who expresses the opinion that he
would be “an ornament to any College
in our country.”
Dr. Wm. H. Ei.i.et, of New York, has
been elected Professor ol Chemistry and
Geology. He came before the Board
sustained by the most unequivocal testi
monials of eminent and peculiar qualifi
cations for his Department, from almost
every professor, and from many other
distinguished men, in New York. He
has contributed some profound articles to
Dr. Silliman’s Journal, and the Board
discovered, from an inspection of a cor
respondence between him and Dr. Silli -
man, in relation to one of these articles,
that the latter entertained'jthe highest res
pect and utmost deference for the opin
ions of the former,on some very difficult
points of investigation in the science of
Chemistry.
Thomas S. Twiss, late assistant Pro
fessor of Mathematics in the West Point.
Academy, has been elected Professor ol
Mathematics and Natural Philosophy.
lie was recommended byCol. Thayer,
the former superintehdant, and all the
professors of that very justly celebrat ed
institution, as a man every way qualified
for the discharge of the duties which will
devolve on him in our College. The
high character of these gentlemen, and
their capacity and opportunity to form a
correct judgement, are personally known
to many members of the Board; and
when it is added that a recommendation
could scarcely be conveyed in stronger
language than they have used in favor of
Professor Twiss, it can hardly be doubted
that he will be found to be a valuable offi
cer of the College.
Dr. Wm. C.U’Eits has been elected to
the Professorship of Sacred Literature,
and the Evidences of Christianity. He
has been so long and so extensively known
as one of the most eloquent pulpit orators
in any country, and so highly distinguish
ed for his disinterested devotion to the
sacred cause of Christianity that nothing
is required from the Board, to excite in
the public mind the most flattering anti
cipations, from his labors.
Isaac W. Stuaut, late principal of
the Beaufort College, has been elected
professor of Greek and Roman Litera
ture. His name was presented to the
Board under the strongest recommenda
tions from gentlemen in this State, who
know him personally, and Ids success us
a teacher, and also from the President
and professors of Yale College, and Pre
sident Woods of Andover College. From
these recommendations, the Board feel
assured that, the classical acquirements of
Professor Stuart, are beyond what is usu
al with American scholars, and his ca
pacity for imparting instruction is repre
sented as being very felicitous. This in
deed, may be said of all the gentlemen
elected by the Board, as they made that
a leading point of inquiry.
Admonished by their former disap
pointment, the Board have appoihted no
gentleman who has not given an assur
ance that he would accept the appoint
ment. They have also been careful to
elect no one whose political opinions
would come in conflict with our domes
tic institutions. In this respect they are
gratified to state that they have been par
ticularly fortunate.
The College, then, will go into opera
tion in October, under the most Halter
ing auspices, with as able a faculty, it is
confidently believed, as any in the United
States, and it is hoped that every citizen
' of the State will give his hearty support
and patronage to an institution upon
which our future destiny as a people will
very materially depend.
The Board, upon full consideration of
all the circumstances, deemed it best to
leave the Presidency vacant until the
annual meeting in December; when
they will be better able to make a satis
factory choice of this very important offi
cer. In the mean time, the Professors
anpointed will he able to discharge all
the duties of the College, by dividing a
mnngst them those of the professorship
of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy.

<2O DOLLARS REWARD.
OX Sunday 24th May, was
from my pasture a sor
d’llSut'wwf re ' mare > an< i black horse. Tire
* jfswagdf sorrel mare is 8 years old, and
wtf if has a small blaze in her face,
and some few white, hairs on
her rump. The black Horse, is low and well sett,
about 7 years old, both nags in good order, and
looked to have been stabled. These two horses
were seen to pass through Harrisburg, and the
same day were seen to pass the residence of Gen.
Thomas Glascock, 4 miles below the city, on the
Savannah Road. It is supposed they are making
their way to the plantation of Dr. Galphin, of S.
Carolina, who was once the owner of the small
black Horse, and after he sold him to Mr. Chavers,
he got out and crossed the river and went back
again. I am under the impression the mare
would not cross the river with him, altho’ fol
lowing him in that direction to the river.
The above Reward will be paid to any one <?ho
will deliver the said two horses to me, and any
information with regard to them will be thank
fully received.
