one moment the luckless weight, is transported
to the highest heavens, reveling in Tlllerial
worlds with angelic spirits of light and beauty,

heavens, and the thoughts come thick upon
the soul, filling it with wonder, delight and
amazement. And our thoughts, are they
bounded, arc they confined ! No, no, they
can run away into illimitable space, plu.ige from
star to star, each presenting its new variety of
change, new scenes to cherish up in store, to

come to the subject, and relate an incident in

among the catalogue of incidents in ever.’
man’s life.
It happened one evening in December, in
the year 18B—. Though winter, the weath
er was plcascnt, the sky was clear, and the
stars shone beautifully bright from out their
lurid orbits. It was a Southern clime. I was :
seated on an elevated platform attached to a
laifge and commodious, though rough and un
couth house. The place had been often be
fore Visited W me in the summer season, us it 1
was'dool, pleasant and retired, and command
edan extensive and lovely prospect, far, both
to the right and left. I hud wandered to the
old haunt overcame with a kind of pleasing
lassitude; having not much to occupy my
mind, other than those thoughts which always
obtriHe upon the reflective mind,
more especially when surrounded by the gloom
of night. My eyes involuntary turned up
wards, and thought followed quick their course.
It seems instinct in man to look upward when
encompassed with darkness. It is the only
source from whence light can come’ to gtiMe j
him on his darkning pathway. W bother tak- j
on morally or physically, this simple truth re
quires not to be proven. And altnough man
kind are fruitful in inventions, have yet j
failed to find other lights which will guide them
but for a time, and then soon cease to be. My
thoughts had travelled far among the etheria!
worlds of light, and had been vainly tryiftg to
form something like a comprehensive idea of;
the majestic whole. Wearied and exhausted ,
with this fruitless attempt, I sank back over
whelmed with tlio grandness of the vsew and
my own insignificance. I became confused,
drowzy and lost even to myself. At length I
observed a small star peering just above the j
horizon ; it appeared lone and solitary, emit- j
ing a pale and languid light. My iynipatlr.es ;
were a'.vakencd in favor of the lo.iely star; it
seemed weeping and looked disconsolate. —
The rest around shone proudly, and teemed to
look down with contempt upon its pale and
shrinking rays, which appeared for awhile un
steady and flickering. Presently its lights bc
g m to give way and was fast verging into the
dim blue of Heaven. 1 thought it %ut a me
teor gleam, that shone fora moment with a
•'sickly ray, and then died, wasting itself on the
vast expanse it had vainly tried to illumine.
But suddenly it shone forth more bright and
beautiful than all the rest; its strong and lurid
rays shedding a triumphant light norm all the
face of nature. It now dimmed the before
proud stars, who seemed to shrink abashed
from the taflti, steady eve of the glowing star,
kora moment it was steady and firm, but
presently began to move upward, vising high
er and higher, until firmly fixed in tlfeweridi
•an heavens. All the rest of the stars seemed
in meek submission, but watchful ’eyes, to look
up to the glorious rising star, as if ready to an
ticipate each wish, or understand each leok.
1 was becoming perplexed to understand this
strange phenomenon, and was vainly endeav
oring to resolve my doubts, when iny atten
tion was drawn to a number of small light ob
! jeets which tilled the air with motion, while
basking in the rays of the high meridian star.
Presently one of them detached itself from
among the rest and descended to where I sat.
‘•Mortal,” said the little fairy, “you seem loit
* n wonder, do you not understand \vhnt you
have seen ?” “ No, sweet fairy,” said 1, “ will
you resolve mv doubts ?” “Do you sec you
vast canopy” said she, “studded with so ma
ny diamond stars? well, they are the abodes
of happy spirits that have served out their
time of confinement and pain in this lower
m iterial world ; who have withstood the fiery
ordeal of temptation, and escaped purer than
, gold seven times tried in the fire. But you
toust remember, that there are gradations in
the in material, well as ‘the material world.
T.ie order of precedence is kept up as a re
ward to merit and virtue ; all is not cousumute
bliss and perfeet.ou i:i the celestial world, not
withstanding what visionary enthusiasts say. j
did you observe yon glorious star, how it rose j
from among the lowest arid weakest, and now j
shines among the greatest and highest ! well, |
that, is a fit emblem of the great and good ot!
the lower world. Whatever may be their
misforiur.es, or however humble their stations
in life, their virtues will at length shine forth as
brilliant and beautiful as that thou hast vi
nessed. It is not given unto you to know the j
secrets of that great mutation continually go
ing on in the universe, or to understand but
'faintly, that beautiful system, governed by the
simplest laws of nature, wiiieii thou hast so
much been admiring. Enough is known un
to them, however, to commend virtue as the
only sclf.cnobling and self-guarding principle
that will stand by, and exult thee tnroughout
an endless mutation. Go i.ow and learn a
moral from the stars, and although you can
not understand all tdc;r influence, you can
gather enough to answer all thy purposes:
you must draw, to enrich thy store, fiom all
tilings.
“ * From gems, from flowers, from orient
rays of light.’ ‘But, remember that ambition
is not virtue, and the untiring aspirant for
fame alone, is one of the lowest creatures in
the moral world. 1!c is fa’miliaV. and a parti
cipant of the meanest degradation, that will
do ;ui action, that men may call him great, and
will live in their minds as the ephemeral shad
dow of a day. Do you observe the easy dig
nity of von noble star, as if inConsc.ous ol its
own superiority, it looks abroad upon the rest
as familiars, as equals, and yet, that very look
teaches them the vast distance between *tbem.
Go, and remember that virtue alone, gives su
periority, and alone, can give happiness : pride
not thyself above thy follows because tisriu
hast learned more of the wisdom of the world
than they; which is well, only as it commends
virtue to others, and creates a love for it, in
ourselves. Go, take that star for thy patron,
and study them all, lor they * are lit emblems ol
man’s destiny.’ ” Fhe stopped and flitted away
to join the happy throng she had quitted. A
heavy sigh, deep drawn from my own bosom,
announced to me my own situation. I kicked
around in perfect amazement, unable to con.
jeetuie where I was, or what 1 had been doing.
I tried to move, but was benumed with cold ;
the wind whistled lieenly through the cracks
of the old building and went roaring through
the tops of the trees, like the sounds of waves
crashing against the breakers. It was some
time before my returning senses brought me
to a recolection of what had happened. It
came, however, like a flash across my mind.
I looked up for the bright star of my hop«s, it
was gone. 1 looked lor the pale and sicly
light round the horizon, and for tiro littie ar
my of furies ; but all were gone, tire heavens
wore their usual appearance, and cold, dulling
reality, was all that I could I see. But soon
these*words were ringing in my ears ; the very
winds seemed to bear them and the woods to
echo them bad;: “ Go, and learn a moral from
the stars, for they arc lit emblems of man’s
destiny.” I retired home to rest, and the next
mornidg arose in vigorous health, and I hope,
a better man, frOm my last night’s dream, and
the counsels of mystnnge visitor, which left
an i npression on my mind, that years have
not erased, nor ever will.

The recent destructive fire in Charleston is a se.
vere blow upon the flourishing prospect of that enter
prising City, ind is the more to be regretted on this ac
count, ns it will probably throw a blight, for a while*
upon the exertions of tier industrious, hospitable and
enterprising people. It is almost as severe upon the
State as upon the City itself—being the very heart aud
centre of trade and commerce. We hope-, however,
tha*, that indomitable spirit which lias characterized
her citizens of recent years, and under similar calami
ties, lias not in the least been polled or blunted by these
misfortunes. And that she will rise yet more vigorous
ands rong from every fall, is our sincere desire, end
that of hundreds and thousands in our own Htaie. But
as condolence alone cannot benefit the sufferers, we
would recommend that there be some measures taken
m the interior of our State, to that efiect. Tiie City
Council of Augusta have already set the praiseworthy
example, and vve hope that it will be followed by our
own and other cities of this S'atc.

GREAT FIRE!
One Third of Charleston in Ruins-I!
About 9 o'clock on Friday evening last, the citizens
of Charleston were tdarmed by the sound of the fire
bells, aud the cry givVn that it was in King st. a partof
the city which, —from the great quantity of wooden
buildings w ith which it is literally lined, from Tradd to
Boundary st. on each side, with here and tlw re a brick
house, and occasionally one intended to be semi-fire
proof,—was always considered to be the most danger
ous place for a conflagration to commence, and where,
too, was stored a large pt/rrion of the most valuable dry
goods in the city.
When we arrived at the place where the fire com
menced, the flumes had jiTst made their appearance in
the rear of a small shed or building, adjoining the house,
North West corner of Beresford and King st., and but
a few minutes elapsed before the three or four other
houses and the house on the South West corner of Be
resford st. were aiso in fl antes. The fire then com
menced roaring and leaping from different points, as
Well in a horirontal direction as in the air, with a vigor
and virulence, which was truly appalling, and it being
knof* n to nil that there was an unusual scarcity of wa
ter, it was apparent to arty 'dbserver that the apparatus
of the Engineer, for blowing up of houses, and the ap'-
plication of fire hooks, were the principal means to be
on for batfl rig with the destructive and de
vouring element. Fire nooks, we believe, were used in
but few if any instances, and we are under the impres
sion that there is not a sufficient number of them, or
that their usefulness, particularly in pulling down small
buildings, is undervalued. The Principal Engineer
was a been*, but his assistant, Mr. Frederick Schni
i.rle, was promptly on the ground, w’iih the apparatus,
a;id wt i a courage, cdol and efficiency, no' to he sur
passed, and seldom equalled, commenced operations,
and c mtinued unremittingly employed, until his life be
came the sacrifice.
The fire now rapidly extended up King st. on both
sides, and down Market st. to Meeiingst. with tiie most
uncontrollable rapidity. The engines were literally
powerless, except in a few instances—that of sSVjng
the Theatre, perhaj)*, as prominent as any other. After
passing down Market st. (both of which, as far ns
Church st. Murirets included, were destroyed,) it took a
North Easterly direction, the wind being from the South-
West, but M iwing on moderately, artd extended in that
direction to the Sygw Refinery on Anson st., thence
dowtr Auson to HarcU s:.. thence due East to the mv
t*r, lcaviLg j&t ImAUni* bstwaaii Hasell . id S - 1
cicty-strcets, except Mr. ri'oiiry’s residence o.i i
street and Mr. Hey wa:d»a house an the corner oi ii i
Bay and Soch ty-s . and the large steam mdl of Mr. j
Bennett. Liberty-s'reet was the boundary abovt iv.ng- |
sx on the N jrt.ii.r i ti i , a id S'. Pu l p ’to t e Vv\s , a j
row of front buildings being left oil the Wi st si e of
that and Archdaie-st., including at least one-fouMa of :
the centre of our beautiful and flourishing city, and des- t
trojingour very splendid new Hotel, me pnuc ot the :
citizens, and nearly ready for the reception of boarders, !
the new Masonic Hall, ut the west end of and« Market,
the brick work of which was nearly finished, and some- ;
what injuring the new Theawe.
The loss ot property is variously eStirtrared, but from
whut wc can ascertain it will bein ttiv vicinity ot Three j
Millions o! Dollar** of which abode one half is j
probably insured.
\V e were largely out of the way (in an extra issued on
Saturday afternoon last) in oar esnma e inn; the 1 nsur- |
ance Offices would p iv but 39 j>er cent of their losses, i
This estimate was made ut a time ot' confftsion, when
it was impossible to ohtaiu correct information. We :
now learn rbut the Charleston Insurance A Trust Com
pany will pay in full, the Union insurance C impany j
nearly, if not and tlie Fire and Marine 73 per j
cent, if not more. The t'k o Agencies of Georgia C om
panies, in this city, are interested, as we understand, to
tiie amount of about eighty-five thousand dollars; their I
losst;?, of course, will all belaid. An advertisement of !
the Trhst Company announces that claims will be paid ;
as soon si's presented.
It affords us sincere gratification tosta'e that the Tio- j
tel was insured to the amount of One Hundred Tiiou
sand Dollars, each in five different offices, and,
therefore, this splendid edifice will surely rise, Phoenix- J
like trout its ashes, to ornament Charleston, or we mis- ’
take die spirit that animates our people.
During the course of the conflagration, a building
used as a store house, on Ker’s wharf, foot of Laurens’
street, (formerly Norton’s Rice Mdl) took fire from some
cause not exactly known, and burnt to the ground—loss
$5900, .no insurance. Tne steam packet Neptune, ly
; 'wig at mat w 1 k.rf, was in imminent danger, but fortun
ately, was extricated from her perilous s.cuaiion, and
anchored in safety in the stream.
We now come to the melancholy task of recording
l the
GREAT LOSS OF LIFE
! that has been sustained, and which has plunged many
oi our most worthy and respectable families m the deep
; est distress.
We commence with that of Col. Chrrrlcs J>hn Steed
; man, Naval Officer of the por , a gentleman lung known
as one of our most active and public spirited citizens,
and who, on tins calamitous occasion, distinguished
himselti previous to his death, by his coot, energetic and
fearless conduct, having aas.s.ed in blow'iftg up a num
ber of buildings, and making himself prominently use
| ful in numerous instances. The powder, in cassooni',
! prepared for use, gave out early in the night, and after
; that, powder in kegs was employed, which ;s always a
dangerous process. Col. Steeduian entered a house on
the East side of East-Buy, near Hassell st., in company
with Mr. M. F. Turley, a mulatto boy, and severaloth
-1 er persons, with two kegs of powder, tor the purpose of
blowing it up, placing one in each room—one of them
; exploded and ble w up the building vvh.le the threeltbove
J mentioned persons were within. Mr. Turley was imtius-
I diately picked up, very much injured, but it is believed
; vvifl eventually recover, though probably much crippled.
\ Persons immediately ran to the wreck to extricat e Col.
S. and the boy ; while so engaged, Cap:. Dull’, of the
ship Herald, reported in the evening paper as killed, be
: mg on the root—the second cask exploded, and luted
| the roof up several feet, but fortunately without any in
jury to C.ipt. D. who is at this moment standing near us,
, in good health. Col. S. was then taken ou', hut life
i w-s extinct. It is believed that he was kilted by the
j second explosion, as some say he was heard to liiuke an
I exclamation after the house fell. The body of the boy
I was not obtained, but consumed in the building.
Mr. Schuierle lost his life in blowing up the house at
I the corner of Liberty and King street, he also employ
j ing a keg of powder, in the same manner as Col. E eed
-1 man. After the house fell, the most strenuous exertions
i were made to get him out, and it was effected in a short
| time, and while he was a i re, but most terribly burnt
| and mutilated. He spoke collectedly to those who took
| hold of him, was carried home and lived some half hour
i after he reached there ; liis atHicted family having the
1 melancholy consolation of hearing him converse before
i he breathed his last. He died in his perfect senses, con
j seious from the first moment that Ins life could not be
| preserved. His loss will be severely felt, and deeply re
gretted. At the same explosion that deprived Mr. S.
i of life, Mr. John S. Peart, was also struck dead, proba
| bly by being thrown against something, and inwardly
i injured, as there did not appear lo be any wounds ex
| terually that would have proved fatal He breathed but
1 a few moments after being taken up. A cJored man
| was also kilted at the same time.
Mr. Robert Monroe, who kept a seed store in King
i street, was found dead on Saturday morning; having
! either been burned up in his Store, or some part of the
! rums falling on him. He was most dreadfully lacerated
i and dismembered.
One white man, we learn, fell down, and was taken
up and carried into a house ill Market street dead, hav
ing it is believed, died from mere friglu, or perhaps from
apoplexy. We did not learn liis name.
Jfr. John D. Brown was so severely hurt at the cor
ner of Market and Church sts. that nis i to is despaired
of; we could not ascertain hosv the accident occured.
The renovation and rastoration of our fair city is now
the all engrossing topic. A public meeting of our citi
zens, it will be seen, is to be held to-morrow, to take the
subject under consideration, and we confidently predict
that five years from this time, and the prrkant calamity
will be forgotten, as fur as the losses of the citizens are
concerned. The indomitable spirit of the people of
Charleston will not be repressed ; and the burnt district
will be rebuff', not with miserable, low, temporary wood
en hoi'Ms, but with fine large brick buildings, on wide,
airy streets, at once ornamenfintr the iffy, and affording
proper facilities and for the transac
tion of business.
To effect this object, two ’propositions have been sug
gested in our hearing. B contemplate the Sseuiablage
of the Legislature forthwith, that the credit of the Stare
should be put in requisition. One that a lone of a suffi
cient sum should be obtained in Europe, which could
now lie effected at a very low rate of interest, and put
into tiie hands of owners of lots at the same rate, to en
able them to build up their houses —the other that the
whole people of the S'a'e—for in the prosperity ofCharles
ton the whole State is interested—should at once come
forward and pay two years taxes in advance, thus mak
ing the contribution full equally on every individual w ho
holds property. ~ . ,
These suggestions are merely noted hastily, as much
to shew that the most spirited feeling is abroad, and that
measures are to be instantly taken to repair our disaster,
as for any other purpose. Let no man falter—let none
hold-back or hesitate. He who would be guilty of eith
er, is a recreant to South Carolina —to Charleston —aud
to humanity.

AUGU ST A :*I lIIIt OR,
A semi-monthly Journal, devoted lo polite lit
erature aud useful intelligence.
TEH HE subscribers contemplate publishing in the critf
i of Augusta, a paper under the above title. It is
customary, on such occasions as tlw- present, to publish
ti the world a full history in advance of the coining
publication, in whi h all that could be desired by its
patrons is promised, and by which expectations ijro
ruised SCcrt ns are seldom realized. But we trust ff»»S
public have experienced the truth of tins remark too ol
n*n, to regard a dis Mission of the merits of our journal,
by us, as any inducement to its support. Taking tins
view of the matter, we shall content ourselves with a
brief statement of the intention and design of the Mik
ror, preferring rather to rest our claims to patronage
upon the merits ot the paper itselg titan upon ihe
strength of large promises.
The Mirror is designed to be exclusively a i.iteiu
rv jour v at,, and will contain Popular Talc* — £**nij*
—Sleet, Moral Reading*—Agricultural and Scientific
Intelligence — Poetry — Music, ijw ,Jc. It will be me
aim of the publishers to render the Mirror acceptable
as a fami 1 ft jmper, by excluding from its columns every
thing like Fol.ucs, or Sectarianism, and admitting no 2
thing that can give offence to any class of society.
The MitntCß will be printed in a quarto form, on a
fine, medium slice', a-d on nea', new type. Each N .
will contain one page of Music, arranged either Ibr tee
piano-forte or guitar.
The columns of the Mirror are tendered r.s a medi
um for the publication of all approved literary composi
tions, and we ire not without confidence in the belief
that there is literary latent and taste enough among our
own citizens, 'o furnish its pages with a goodly por.ion
of mat er of name production'.
As it is contempla'ed to issue the first No. early in
May, we would request those who feel disposed lo con
tribute to the Mirror, to .send in their communications
before the first of that month.
