TERRIBLE FIRE IN THE PINERIEs OF CAROLINA.
The passengers on tho Wilmington and Man
chester railroad, IN the northern part OF South
Carolina, enjoyed, on Friday night last, the ex.
citing aud magnificent spectacle OF fire in the
woods, extending over distance of ten miles, and
showing first side, then the other, and
frequently on both sides of the road. passenger
writes:
professionally the scene rose to the dignity of
subIimi,y. Many tall yellow pine was on fire
10 the very top, waving in the strong wind like a
vast plume of fame. Now the flames would crawl
up and lick the wheels Of The locomotive, rendering
the air near the windows too hot TO be endured,
and filling the with sufocating smoke; and
then, we passed rapidly on, long wavering lines
Of fire would be seen sweeping to attack some
new and unburnt field. Now and then we would
pass large field which had been cultivated, but
upon which great numbers Of old stumps were
standing--these. although not blazing freely, were
still all on fire. the glowing Goals standing out in
the darkness like millions Of colored Iamp9 Great
showers OF sparks would sail over US, glitterlng
and dancing about like cloud of fire flies. Some
times light-wood knot would ignite perhaps fifty
feet from the ground-a gigantic torch in the dark
green of the evergreen pine. Long reaches Of
fences were on fire, and once or twice we saw the
bright embers remaining after the fences were
consumed-an endless serpent OF living GOALS
This fire had commenced burning about ten or
twelve hours previous but dry was the material
that it had extended for miles when we passed.
and the alarm in the vicinity was general and ex
treme. Farmers were out with their hands 10
protect their buildings and produce, and large
numbers Of men were watching the railroad, but
twas generally though some considerable portions
of, it must be burned. An immense amount of
damage must have resulted, az there are large tur-
penIine plantations in the ueighborhood The
scene was one of the most thrilling and sublime
have witnessed, and will never be forgotten
by those who Witnessed it,"

Smoking Son &.

Floating away like the fountains spray,
Or the snow white plume of maiden,
Our smoke -wreaths rise to the star-lit skies,
With hlissful fragrance laden.
CHoRUs-Then smoke away, till golden ray
Lights up the dawn of the norrow,
For a cheerful cigar, like shield, will bea
The blows of and sorrow.
The leaf burns bright like the gems Of light
That flash in the bra ids of beauty;
1t nerves each heart isr the hero part,
On the battle plain of duty.
Then smoke away, &c.
In the thoughtful gloom of his darkened room
Sits the child of song and story,
But his heart is light, for his pipe beams bright,
And his dreams all of glory.
Then smoke away, &c.
BY the blazing fire sits the gray-haired sire,
And infant arms surround him,
And he smiles on all in that quaint old hall.
While the smoke-curls Goat around him.
Then smoke away, &c.
In the forests grand of our native land,
When the savage conflicts ended,
The pipe of peace brought sweet release
From toll and terror blended.
Then smoke away, &c.
The dark-eyed train Of the maids of Spain
Meath their arbor shades trip lightly,
And cleaning cigar, like new born star,
In the clasp of their lips burn brightly.
Then smoke away, &c.
1t warns the soul, like the blushing bowl,
With its nose red burden streaming,
1t browns in its bliss, like the first warm kiss,
From the lips with love-buds teeming.
Then smoke away, till golden ray
Lights up tie dawn of the morrow,
For a cheerful cigar, like shield will bear
The blows OF and SORROW.

was the first impression produced on our own
minds, and such musl$be the hope OF every PM

further reflection. What may be the character Of
the new Emperor, ALEXANDER the second, now
thirty years OF age, we are not we'll advsed
but doubtless, like that OF his younger brothers
who have served in the Crimea, it has been REM
dered as military as circumstances and his nature
would admit; and we much fear that, instead OF
being inclined to peace by his bereavement, tho
son Of NICHOLAS will consider the war bequeathed
TO him as sacred duty, TO be prosecuted with re-
doubled vigor and to the last extremity. he will,
in all probability. regard it as demanded by rever.
ence for his fathers judgment, character and
honor, to listen TO terms OF accommodation
short of those which NICHOLAS whouId have ex.
aced. In This course the national spirit and SEN -
timent will probably second and stimulate The new
Emperor and with enthusiasm and unanmity

1t may happen, however, that the withdrawal OF
The strong will and strong hand of the late Empe-

parties in Russia, may lead to an early pacihca. =
ton. .. -.
The Emperor NICHOLAS may be regarded, per-
haps, as the greatest Sovereign Of modern times,
and few have filled wider space in the history
of the world. With an empire extending from
the Baltic to Behring's Straits, he ruled twohrds
Of the circumference Of the habitable globe, and
over all those vast territories and races he was i,
known and felt Throughout that immense re-
gion he might be said to be, 'the State" He was
identified with all its interests moral social, poll
tical, and religious. He knew every thing, con.
trolled and superntended every thing, military
civil, ecclesiastical. II is not to be wondered at
that, TO such labor Of thirty years duration, even
his colossal frame and strong brain should at last
yield and succumb. With The genius Of the great
Frederick in administrative capacity, he had al
most the genius of Napoleon tor war. His moral
and conscientious qualities surpassed those Of
either.
The sudden death OF such man, even in a
time Of universal peace, might we'll produce astir
among The crowned heads OF Europe. How much s
greater then must be the dread the uncertainty of
what may be the consequences under existing cir.

England Counting the Cost.

Mr. Bright a clear.headPd merchant Of Eng.

ing up one years cost OF the war. He calculates
the British paying one hundred and fifty mil
lions of dollars more fof food account OF the
war, while the government are spending one hum
dred millions of dollars extra the same account;
and what is there obtained in return? Wheat is
selling in England for 73s. Id quarter, or Is. -
Sd. higher than the highest price ever known
since 1919. Yet the harvest OF 1854 in England
was the most productive ever known. He gives
it his solemn belief, that if the foreign policy
keeps food up so high, six million quarters of corn
being kept out Of the country by the war, before
Two years are over the government will shoot En-
glishmen in the streets. Hundreds of sailing yes
sells, and sixty seventy OF the largest steamers,
instead of carrying passengers and manufactures
to all parts of the world, are employed most
unproducively in carrying soldiers horses, soress
shot, and she'll to the Crimea. 10 The trade Of
the Baltic there is falling off Of 5000 vessels,
