Awful Conflagration.'—It is our painful and
melancholy duty ngnlft I* announce to the
public, another appalling i nstsncc of loss ny
tire, which will be deeply felt and lamented by
every individual in our Slfnte. It is nothing
loss than the total dusfruct aun of the Capitol
of the State, located in thnis City! Of that
noble edifice, with its sj>le?ndid decorations,
nothing now remains butllic blackened wall*
and smouldering ruins! The State Library
is also entirely consumed,. nnd the Statue of
Washington, that proud monument of na
tional gratitude, which was ejurprideand glory,
is so mutilated utid defaced^ that none can lie-
hold it but with mournful feelings, and the
conviction involuntarily forces itself upon their
minds, that the loss is on«'! which cannot be
repaired. The most acts ve exertions were
made to rescue this chef(£'ouvrc of Canova,
from the ravages of the tJevouring Clement,
uor were they desisted from until the danger
became imminent.
The alarm was given id30«t seven o’clock
on Tuesday morning, nniJ it was presently
evident that all attempts to extinguish the fire,
would prove perfectly fruitless. The efforts
of the by-standers were the *n directed towards
the protection of the I’liblic Offices on the
square, and the adjacent private buildings,
and to the preservation oft lie official archives.
We are happy to add, that none of the former
were injured, and that the I -at ter, including the
Legislative records, nerndci saved. The beau
tiful grove of Oaks, of wit Ach the Capitol was
the centre ornament, did more towards stay
ing the progress of the flaimios than any human
effort, and inculcates most forcibly the propri
ety of cultivating shade Irenes in Cities, on tin
score of security from lire alone, to say noth
ing of other considerations. Seldom has the
eye witnessed so awful as pectaclc as this vast
building in one concentrated blaze, streaming I Council I ) davs. During that 'perio..
from every window and a. vast column from j were two Treaties of Peace and Amity
the roof, forming altogether a scene not ade
quately to be described,
Thcorigin of the lire is ■not certainly known,
butwc believe the general impression is, that it
was the result of mostcaulpable carelessness
more remarkable than could be beaten into
them, enjoyed the high pleasure of convers
ing with the brother, and strong likeness of
the greatest captain of the ago: who, in turn,
together with his family and numerous depen-
dents, were delighted iiy the performances of
the incomparable band, which played many of
the most animating tunes of France, ntnoii"
the rest the Marseilles I lyinn, so delightfully
executed with martial music that an old
French grenadier, who is living on the bounty
of Count Hurvillicrs, shed abundance of warm
tears at the feelings excited by that air per
formed on warlike instruments. Some of the
band also sung without accompaniment, in a
very superior maimer. The people of the. vil
lage of Bordimtown, and of the neighbor
hood assembled to witness the entertainment,
also were introduced into the house and par
took of it, they too behaving with the most
unexceptionable propriety. The troops bad
| marched twenty miles, and more, of a hot
day, and sccmd to enjoy, but with great deco
rum, the physical as well as the moral of the
occasion. Their white tents pitched on a bill
between Point Breeze and the village, over
looked the beautiful scenery of the Delaware,
with the lake, the observatory and the park of
their illustrious host, whose hospitality they
will no doubt remember as one of the most a-
greeabje incidents of their excursion.

The Augusta Constitutionalist counts Mr.
Lumpkin among the number of the Troup
candidates lor Governor. If Mr. L. is to be
believed, lie does not now belong, nor ever has
belonged, to the Crawford or Troup parly.—
We have good authority for saying, that lie
made a declaration in this effect not long since
to a gentleman of his own politics. It is un
derstood too, that some of the party suspect
ing Mr. L. of double dealing, called him to an
account at the Superior Court of Henry coun
ty in September last, and that he then gave
such assurances as convinced the doublers,
that however successful lie might be in impo
sing himself on the more credulous of the
Troup men as one of their number, lie was
nevertheless a stcdfasl Clark man. No one
better understands or has practised more sue
j It is notv evidently gaining interest. Men of in
telligence regard it in a favorable light—and the
public mind so far. as my observation extends,
might be easily aroused upon this point, if tlie ne
cessity of a more intimate interromso ami system
atic co-operation among the Instructors of youth,
was placed before it In n suitable manner. Since
the sub ject of calling together ourTenchers of A-
endemies was first broached by yourself, 1 have
been hoping some plan tor effecting this would
present Itself to your mind.
That (ho instructor of youth holds an important
and responsible Ration, none, xvill deny. And it
is equally true, that we Imve much talent and en
terprise employed in the business of instruction in
Ibis State—but, sir, it is a lamentable fact, (bat we
want system—such ns might he introduced, by n
Convention of Teachers. I.veil in our most res
pectable Academies, there is comparatively liltlo
of u systematical plan of procedure, citheir in giv
ing instruction or administering discipline. And
you look in vnin for even (lie most distant simili-
lude in the features of our different Academies, al
though they are nil branches of our State Univer
sity. These two characteristics in our Acndemi-
bal institutions, that is, n general want of system,
and a want of similar modes of giving instruction
and exercising government, have mi iiicnlnilnbl
Influence in keeping up that eternal flowing and immediate answer,
ebbing, lo which our Academies arc subject, and j Vi
force the representatives of these, institutions lo re-!
sorl to the eonteinpliblK expedient of newspaper
puffing lo maintain their numbers or recruit their
ranks when once diminished. 1 have no hesitnti-
bellcving, that (here would be tnueli more
meat of the ammity—ntul hence some of the
criticisms which have been circulate’! about
his course.
Tho following correspondence between the
