The Iate Fire nt Chnrlestou

The Charleston Mercury of the 18th inst. has
the following account Of the late cOnflagraton in
that city, which we announced by telegraph last
week
DESTRUCTIVE FiRE.-Aboutl o'clock this morn
ing a cotton shed situated the south side OF Adj
gers south wharf, was discovered TO be on fire,
and in very short time the buildings on both sides
Of the wharf were in flames Notwithstanding the
most strenuous exeitions Of the iiremen, the fire
communicated on the south side 70 the handsome
range OF Offices on Nanderhor.s wharf, which were
also destroyed. Among the occupants of these
Offices were Messrs. j. Robertson Matthews X
Roper, Middleton & Co. Menloyo < Lesesne, and
T. b. Simons & Son. On Adger's south wharf
Me.srs Herkenwrath, Wragg d Co., Thierman &
Prngle, o. Chisolm, Motet X Huchet Frederick
Winthrop, Joseph Battersby, A. B. De Saussure
and a. Hopkins The large store OF Messrs. John-
fon, Crews X Brawley, on East Bay, was also
destroyed, with portion Of It's contents, but for
tunatey large portion Of their most valuable stock
was removed some days since. The amount ofcot
ton destroyed is about 5000 bales, and the total
loss, including buildings may be estimated at from
100000 to s5O0,COO, a large portion Of which is
insured. A young gentleman, who was sleeping
in one Of the stores, was severely burnt in the face
and hands in attempting TO escape.

Serious Accident gu the Norwich and Werces-
ter lkafircad.

Yesterday morning, at New Worcester, about
six miles from Worcester City, one of the wheels
of the hind truck of the second class car OF the Nor
witch and Worcester train broke, causing the car,
the last Of the train to tip over ia consequence OF
which the following persons were injured-some
seriously and others slightly;
James Blue colored man. several bad cats In the head,
considered to be the most seriously nnred-taken 70 bis
home In West Centerst Kiy Woods, BADLY hurt IA tne
hsso-tak TO the Hospital Margaret farussock, head aud
shoulders considered 20 be- tee second most seriously In
jured- Hospital John Hne h-ud and shoulder, severe

Hospital. The Injuries lysd ~ ne following were
miscellaneous but slight El.n DJnnely sarsa Sraaes,
Hanush sproule, Elvira sproee william Wood ra1nck
Cochrsn John Doyle James acheunaD, Michael Donnel
ly, John Welsh Charles Cc.basn coiored.
There were some fears esterday that the inju-
ries received by b ue aud Mrs Farnstock mi ht
prove fatal The tram detained some twenty
minutes by the asGideut AT Worcester, the
wounded received Gh the professional aid their
cases admitted OF A special car was got out for
them, and they wero fnsthwth brought 10 this city,
and those who had places Of residence here were
convey ed to them, and thosa who were strangers
were taken to the hospital, without regard to the
sliebtness Of their hurts.
The capsized car was drawn several yards be-
fore the train separated and ran ahead. The brake
man, Brady received some injury in endeavoring
to cast the loose The car ITSELF and the trucks,
were so much broken by the turn over and drag
ging as TO be unfit tor further use. The wounded
passengers were taken INTO the first class cars
That the accident did not prove instantly fatal TO
most Of them, is exceedingly wonderful
The car, after being Cseugaged from the train,
rolled over into some water and the passengers
were all thrownin,o hesp and the stove, in which
was some fire, fell among them, scalding three or
four After the parted train had been brought
back, great difficulty was found 10 opening the
door of the car andseparanag the mingled mass Il
broken seats an human beings.

Land Reform and Labor Reform-A Chapter
Tor The Tribune.

In the days OF the Chalosyrians Ia race who
existed in the premature age of Earth the atmos.
phere which now surrounds our globe was as yet
imprisoned in the mineral laboratories within its
bowels. Fissures OF the rocks and chasms of the
mountains gave it forth in niggard quantities, and
men were employed necessarily in making larger
these spertures, and enclosing over them bottle.
rooted buildings to hold the hydro oxygic emanaton
for the special use Of those who labored to con-
struct the root.
But stil you could not get one-hal Of the Cha.
losyria to Associate" their labor for this pur.
rose; large numbers OF them kept wa ndering about
taking snatch Of life breath as they could get it,
sometimes from the natural assures, bat chiefly
from large gasometers, where they were suffered
to take few whiils in return for quantum of
labor or other quid pro quo.
Phlanthropists and Philosophers and Statesmen
lout not many OF the latter did much to organ
Use bo'tleroof building, and made it quite plain to
the understanding that these formed the only ark
OF safety IN the deluge of vacuum that slept over
tne ear'h, het millions of the ChaIosyrians died
before You could reach their understandings and
other millions only remained TO envy tboss ,bai-
quiet rest beneath her green sward WIN
But from time % time there had sr;.o, :; -
remote days, Natural heiormers-msr - -
tanned that the earth was TRAVELLING VIZ ~ ~ nam nan.
prouse supply OF this e-essence iknown no DV ~
atmosphere or air and that the true remedy n, ,S
terrible want of the Race was TO assist hi. arc
and let forth such Universal gush of hydro.cv-a'
as would fiji every nook, and cover every mounts;n.
TOD on the face OF the land so that no man co,j5
aroid as healthy influence, go where he would in
city or desert palace or cot.
This was, Of course, stouty opposed by those
who ow ned the big gasometers. They could per.
ceve that the new system would be better, even
for themselves, and a thousand times better for
their children. The poor devils who suffered and
died could not believe there such luck in store
for them as these Reiormers spoke about, and so
they Kept tugging al the gasometers, or seeking
refuge in the bottlercois and the greatest effort Of
Philosophy Was 10 build more and more Of them.

From the N~F O'-sus Crescent lin
One Of NE Editors q ihis paper, now on visit
to Concordis parish, writes as the following;
An eye witness alone can redz re the extent Of
the destruction caused by be- pr sent flood. More
than two thirds OF tie i0uf parishes comprising the
old COncordia District viz; C0ncorda, Tensas
Madison, and Carroll, are uuie' water. The only
portions OF dry land are al.l the bank Of the Mis-
sissippi where the levecs sal staud; but all the
back country is inundated With a few years
a dense population has ,ttei on the high lands
bordering on the numerous bayous IN the interior.
These have all been driven oas. In this parish
alone il is estimated that ct least 30 600 head OF
cattle have been Drowned a4d 81 Ike proportion in
the other parishes. ia Po.Etc Coupee the destrac-
ton is equally great
The wateris falling here very slightly, bat in
consequence Of the crovasse NJ It. Josephs, It 10
rising in the swamp. IL is nov settled that the
water will not fall IN time T. plant cotton. The
plant is very small and bac'~ for the season
The deficiency in the four pars'es viii be az least
$4,000 bales. The country nom the modth OF Red
River to the Arkansas line $50 miles IN length and
thirty in breadth is the hc6r Of the cotton region
It will lot produce one.ouftl o a crop, even under
the most favorable circumstances, because no. a
fourth OF the land can be cultivated. | am aware
that il is too much the custom to cry out short crop
from the start But let any visit any point in
the cotton region OF this valley aad he will be con-
WINGED that the crop Of this year viii be less than
that of last Undoubtedly the enhanced price viii
diminish the consumption, aad thus react on the
price-but that alone can prevent rise You may
rely on that this food is The most extensive since
ls4s, and infinitely more destructive. For that
only filled up the swamps aud the few plantations
opened on the front lands, but this sweeps over a
vast region of cultivated lands.
