Trade" party Of Charleston, called for the purpose
Of considering the letter OF the committee of the
"Un;on" party to General Jackson, and his reply

That the imputation upon the State Rights

Fire on board ship Isaac Hicks.-About half
past l o. clock yesterday morning, the cargo Of
Cotton in the lower forward hold Of the Isaac
Hicks, lying at Kidlell's wharf, was discovered
BY one of her crew, who was sleeping in the fore
castle. to be on fire. lie Immediately alarmed the
crew of the ship Science. lying at the same wharf,
who came tn his assistance; and, tor some time,
hopes were entertained, as the smoke was no. very
dense. that the fire could be smothered. 1t was
found, however that it could not be cot at or ar.
rested, and about % clock. after great exertions
on the part of those assembled on board the ship,
general alarm was given, by ringing the lire bells.
The Engine and Hose Companies promptly as
sembed. and commenced playing apon the Cotton
in the hold; this method persevered In tor
some hours, until they had filled tie ship with
5 or IA feet water-but it was not until ~
o'clock in the afternoon. that the smOuldering re-
mains of the fire were finally got at, and extiu.
guished, by removing most of the Cotton between
decks.
The ship had nearly completed her loading,
having on boar I'd l456 bales; very large proper
ton of which is either entirely ruined or mate
rally injured. The weather since she commenc-
ed loading, has been unusually rainy and damp,
aud there appears to be a general Impression that
the fire was the effect of spontaneous combustion,
arising from the heat and moisture im6,bed by the
Cotton from the humid state of the atmosphere.
Although the cargo had been in store for some
time, it was not wet on the wharf; and went on
board in dry state--or, in the opinion OF some. a
portion of the vegetable oil used for the jack
screws. may have been split. aud in the confined
air of the hold. caused the Cotton to ignite. An
experienced Shipwrisht has given it as his opinion
from the appearance of the interior OF the ship

Ing for some days
| Orders for insurance on one-third of the cargo,
were sent to Liverpool near three weeks since
the balance of the cargo is believed to be insured
in New-York, where the ship is owned, aud pro.
baby is also insured.
The ship has sustained very serious injury, but
| to what extent has not yet been ascertained -
| But for accident, she would have cleared to day
for Liverpool: and it may be considered fortunate
that the fire was discovered before the ship got tc

The Hon. H. Baii,vi,,. FOR years past 1t has
been our fortune to differ much with this gentle
man in relation to most political subjects which
have agitated our country, and during those dill
ferences we have frequently, perhaps sometimes
unjustly, spoken harshly of his conduct In the
last MERCURY, however. We noticed letter from
him declining to attend political dtaner, which
we most sincerely approve. II this example OF
Mr.. b. should be generally initiated, the dignity
of the judiciary would be better preserved, and
Justice more unexpectedly administered.
We observe that in one of the toaSts Mr.. Bald
win IL denounced as a "poIitical traitor" we
presume for refusing to attend the dinner. This
is in the true spirit and real character OF Jack
sonism. The author Of the toast seems to con-
slider the President as great feudai conqueror,
the majority as his tnercenary followers, the MI
nority conquered people. and the offices Of the
country as the spois Of the VICTOR to be distrbut-
ed, not for the good of the country, but to secure
the faithful service Of the holder to his llege lord.
We invite the attention of the toast glver to the
| extract from a sermon delivered by the Rev. Sid
new Smith, at the Cathedral of York, in England,
in April. 1924, and we trust that, after he has
read it, his crude notions as to the duties OF a
iudpe will be somewhat refined. -Phtsburg Ga
zeHe.
"A Christian judge. i'll free land, should,
with the most scrupulous exactness, guard him

upon which, perhaps, the preservation of politi-
cal liberty depends, but by which the better rea-
son of individuals is often blinded, and the tram
guilty Of the public disturbed. am not talk

Entrusted with the business ofthst office, when Mr.
Allen was sick or absent. Now Sir, it is well
known that Mr. Allen never left the business of the
once to be transacted by any one, except such as
any boy OF ID years DID, of ordinary capacity and
formation, might do. As a striking disqualification
OF this fact, 1t may be mentioned, that when the
county Commissioners met, three days after his
death, IT was found that his accounts all made
up to that time, and that report, which it was
necessary should be made to them, was found, made
out IN his own hand, and dated the day of their

transaction of such riing concerns it neces-
sary should be attended to when he was not in The

man Of integrity, placed in the same situation as
MIR. Jennson was, to do it. Therefore any infer

are other considerations, of deep and vital conse-
quence to the well being of the community, which
should have restrained Mr.. JennisOn from placing
ms name before the electors of Worcester County,
as candidate for office, aud confess, Sir, that
was much surprised when discovered that he had

their lull weight in the vicinity where he is known
