A large flouring and a lumber mill were burnt at Austin on the night of the 26th of July. The loss was about $100,000, and there is no doubt the fire was the aet of an incen diary. A negro was recently eaught in the act of setting fire to a building in Georgetown, and he confessed that he had been incited to the act by two Abo litionists who had induced him to burn up the town. ' North Carolina Election. Washington, Aug. 3.—Reliable* re turns from North Carolina come in slow ly. Wake county has gone for the op position. New Hanover is very close, but it is thought the democratic ticket has succeeded. In Wayne county Ellis loses 174 votes. In Lenoin county El lis has a reduced majority. In Craven Ellis holds his own. In Northampton, Halifax and Edgecomb, large democrat ic majorities are reported for the 8ut*e ticket. The Legislature.—Tho Constitutional ist publishes a list of fifty-four counties in which thereareseventy-five members of the Legislature reported for Breck* iuridge, thirty for Bell and twenty for Douglas. To Our Merchants. ^ We a-sk the attention of our business men to the advertisement of the Char leston Merchants in another column.— We hope all our non-intervention zeal of last Spring lias not died out". We learn that Charleston is now quite heal thy with every indication that it will con tinue so. No yellow fever apprehen- ped this season. — The Meteor,. The meteor which was seen at this place on last Thursday, was, according te our exchanges, also seen at Louisville, Ry., Nashville, TVsnn., Atlanta, Colum bus, Augusta and Savianah, Ga. Wo presume, of course, that it was visible at nil intermediate points, and, perhaps, for some distance beyond those plaees. ^*Th e Montgomery and Charleston papers of Saturday make no mention of its ap pearance in those localities. Like the meteor Been in the Northern States, on the 27th of July, in different sections, itseemod to move in different directions, The Columbus Enquirer says its course was from East to Northwest; the Augur, ta Dispatch says from a point a little South of West to the Northwest; the Savannah News says from East to West To us it appeared to start in the South, east and traveled towards the North Star. ^ ^ #6?“Tho Macon Messenger publishes the cord of Mr. John R.

Laughable* A laughable incident happened hi one of our leading theatres, the other night, which seriously compromises til- reputation of one of the cleverest members of the Metropolitan corps dra matique. In one of the spectacles now bein; played it was necessary to hove an ele phant, and as a genuine live one was not to be had, it wus necessary to impro vise one, and Mr. , who we will cai Tom, was selected to do the fore-legs o the beast, and move his eyes and ears. Tom is over-fond of his glass, and in this instance a happy thought struck him, but as the sequol will show, it it proved disastrous to poor Tom. Towards tho close of tho performance the audience began to observe t-hnt th elephant was very unsteady in front but no particular attention was given to the fact until poor Tom, unable Ion rer to keep his balance, gave out entirely, and pitched headlong into the orches tra-stall, carrying his sober posterior with Mm. This not being on the bill, created much merriment for a time, and it was generally considered an acci dent, but upon taking the unfortunate elephant behind the scenes for repairs, two bottles were found bearing the sug gestive label: “Bininoers’ Old London Dock Gin—especially designed /or Family Use.” Tom had turned the bottoms of the bottles out to represent the oy?s of the elephant—keeping his mouth en rapport with the necks, and at the same time giving a peculiar and appropriate motion to the eye of the elephant.— The facts in the cose soon leaked out, and whenever any of Tom's friends are dry they have only to say “Bininger” to provoke a smile.—N. Y. Corret. Baltimore Patriot. Found her Baby before she knew it iiad been Lost.—Quite an interest ing incident occurrod at tho Tennessee depot, Lynchburg, on Monday after noon, under the following circumstan ces: Just before the time of the depart ure, a darkey came running down the platform with a baby—yes, a live baby, in his arms calling out, ‘Who’s lost n baby? who’s lost a baby?’’ No one; claiming the darling of its mother, the sooty Afric” poked his head into the ladies’ car, exclaiming, in quite a melo dious voice, “whose loss dis chile?’’ when a lady rose and exclaimed "God bless me—I forgot the darling little creature.” The baby was placed in its mother’s arms, when the darkey retired, highly delighted in his having restored tho lit tle one to its careless mamma.
