CLr.'.!iUHi‘?atedL The Starr* are fit erablca >of Man ; * destiny. Tiicre arc some strange peculiarities ot hu man nature, of human tiding, wfficii are as utteriv incompatible with each other, as light j s wl tli darkness. And these incongruities ;ircSO mixed u|)in one and the same individu al, as to appear in their effect |x;rleetly para doxical. For instance: the extremes ofpleas ure and pain have acted on the same tempera ment, in the short space ot a minute. For one moment the luckless weight, is transported to the highest heavens, reveling in Tlllerial worlds with angelic spirits of light and beauty, gazing on the limitless stars that abound in space, or admiring the magnificent grandeur of the universe‘Of worlds, with their baiiti fal order and arrngement, governed by, ami de pendent on rules as simple as those which gov ern the smallest cf citation. Aye, it is a beau tiful subject for contemplation that our b6und ed vision gives, wlten we look abroad upon the 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 mad the delighted heart which craves unceas ingly for yet anew idea on which to feed, for yet a farther insight into nature, into God.— ‘But ah, are we to dwell long in this heaven 1 No, the enwraped soul would fill to runing over. The cup of bliss is dashed from your lips by sonic rude hand, just as you are igGfcg to imbibe its delicious fragrance, and drink yet deeper of its oblivious draught. No, it is not rgiven unto man to be happy but for a moment, and then for hours miserable. But we will come to the subject, and relate an incident in life. And one which may be found, probably, 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.

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.
