The Charleston Conflagration.

That Charleston has been visited by an
awful fire is no doubt true. That it was
the work of slave insurrection is more
than probable, and if negro torch did
fire the town, we believe the conduct Of
our commanding officer at Port Royal, in
repelling all the fugitives he possibly can,
and in keeping those who will not be re-
PEELED as prisoners, lighted that torch.
Of course the first impulse of the slaves
would be to seek an asylum within our
lines; their personal safety would be secured
while that would also be the most proba-
bic road TO freedom. But let the slaves
be repelled, and let none of these who
do get within our lines return to their fam
lilies and fellows, and they become despe-
rate, and are shrewd enough to know that
while they are repelled from the Federal
lines, the greatest service they can render
against their masters, is, to ravage, burn,
and destroy. tits fearful responsibility
we assume when we attempt to prevent
these fugitives from seeking an asylum
within our lines.

again. The troops were witnessing the
whole of these proceedings with the inteu-
sest interest. Then the Marshal and the
Chaplains began to prepare the culprit for
his death. He was too weak TO stand.-
He sat down on the foot of the coffin
Captain Boyd then bandaged his eyes
with white handkerchief, A few min
utes of painful suspense intervening while
the Catholic clergymen were having their
final interview with the unfortunate man.
All being ready the Marshal waved his
handkerchief as the signal, and the firing
party discharged the volley. johnson did
not move, remaining in his sitting posture
for several seconds, after the rifles were
discharged, then he quivered little, and
fell over beside the coffin. He was still
alive, howeve, and the four reserves were
called to complete the work. 1t was
found that two of the firing party, Ger
mans, had not discharged their pieces, and
they were Immediately put in irons.-
johnson was shot several times in the
heart by the first volley. Each of the
four shots fired by the reserves took effect
in his head, and he died instantly. One
penetrated his chin, another his left cheek,
while two entered the brain just above the
left eyebrow.
The troops then all marched round, and
each man looked on the bloody corpse of
his late comarade who had proved traitor
to his country.
The universal sentiment was that he
deserved his fate, and the example will
certainly be beneficial.

The True Wisdom.

A. man may know all about the rocks,
and bis heart remain as hard as they are;
a man may know all about the winds and
be the sport of passions as fierce as they;
a man may know all about the stars, and
his fate be the meteor's, that, after brief
and brilliant career, is quenched in eternal
night; man may know all about the sea,
and his soul resemble its troubled waters,
which cannot rest; a man may know how
to rule the spirits of The elements, yet
know not how to rule his own; man
may know how to turn aside the flashing
thunderbolt, but not the wrath of God
from his own guilty head; he may know
all that La Place knew-ali that Shake
speare knew-all that Watt knew-afl
that the greatest geniuses have known; he
may know all mysteries and all knowledge,
but if he does not know his Bible, what
shall he availl "What shall it profit man
if he gain the whole world and lose his
own soul 7"
1 despise not the lights of science; but
they burn in q dying chamber as dim as
its candles. They cannot penetrate the
mist of death, nor light the foot Of the
foot of the weary traveller on his way in
that valley through which we have all to
pass. Commend me therefore, to the
light, which illumines the last hours of life
commend me 10 the light that can ira
date the face Of death ;-commsnd me 10
the light that, when all others are quench-
ed, shall guide my foot to the portals Of
that blessed world where there is no need
Of the sun, and no need Of the moon, and
no need of any Of the created lights, for
God and the Lamb are light thereof
leave others to climb the sleeps
of fame-brother, sister, put your feet up
on the ladder that scales the sky; nor
mind though your brows are never crown
cd with fading bays, if you win through
faith in Jesus the crown of eternal life

more, making an aggregate of fifty mil
lions. The Secretary is aware that the
sum is large, but seeing no probabilaty of
the revenue exceeding forty millions du-
ring the present year, he feels that he must
not shrink from plain statement of the
actual necessities of the situation. Two
tiflbs of one p cent, on real and personal
property ofloyal States will produce s44,-
100000.
The Secretary recommends plan for a
national circulation of notes bearing a
common impression, and authenticated by
common authority. The redemption of
these notes by associations and institutions
TO which they may be delivered for issue,
and the security of that redemption by
pledge of Z. S. stocks and an adequate
provision of specie. An important advan-
tage to the people by this plan would be in
the increased scurity of the Union, spring.
ing from common interests in its preserva-
ton, created by the distribution of its
stocks to associations throughout the
country on the basis Of their circulation,
and he entertains the opinion, if credit
circulation be desirable, it is most desirrble
in this form. He states it is earnestly
hoped, not without sufficient grounds, that
the present war be brought to an auspi-
cious termination before midsummer, and
that in that event in the provision of reve-
nue. by taxation recommended, will suffice
for all financial exigencies without addition
al loans, and enable the Government at
once 10 begin reduction of the existing
debt. If the war continues to July 1862,
the public debt will be s5l7,a22,sO2; if
till July 1868, it will be, in round num-
bers. S9eO,O0O,OOO.
The prohibition of trade with the rebel
States has been. fully enforced. Regula-
tions have been established by which rice,
cotton and other property in the lnsurrec-
tionary districts occupied by our troops
will be confscaied and sent by sea to New
York. All sales will be for account of
Government, and the proceeds paid into
the National Treasury. As general
rule commerce should follow the flag, and
when the authority or the Union is fully
restored in the States, ports should be
opened without restriction and all com
merce freely permitted.
The Secretary closes by saying, it has
been his endeavor 10 infuse into his depart
ment the greatest possible activity and vig-
or, and hopes that continued endeavor
with larger experience will make itwhat
it ought to be. .

There Shall be NO Pain There.

There Shall be NO Pain There
This is one of the golden clusters that
grow on that vine planted for the healing
Of the notions, the Bible! How blessed a
promise of the life that is to come is tins
one, those only can know who have walk
ed long and frequently under the shadows
of WEAKNESS and suffering.
"No pain there to struggle with ana
endure; no burdens laid upon the eager
spirit which the weak frame cannot sus
tain: no work, under which heart and
strength fail, and which is at last laid
mournfully aside; no long hours Of fever
and restlessness; no overtasked brain and
nerves in the homestead of those whom
God shall number as his jewels!
So, be comforted ye that mourn 8! Green
and shining rise the banks beyond the
dark valley, and sweet healing is IN the
winds that wander off from the meadows,
freighted with blossoms fairer than the ro-
ses and lilies of earth! -
Take through your pilgrimage this
promise-let it be new incentive, and
strength, and comfort to you--"1hsrs
shall be no pain hersi"

the worthy man who feels for them rever
ence so great that his every mute glance
is worship. aoffl
The man who is bashful in the pres
ence of ladies is their defender when the
tongue Of the slanderer would defame
them. 1t is not he who boasts Of conquests
or dares talk glibly of failings that exist IN
his imagination alone; his cheek will GRIM
son with resentment, his eyes flash with
anger, to hear the name Of woman coupl-
ed with coarse oath ; and yet he who
would die to defend them is less honorsd
by the majority of the fair sex.
Who ever heurd Of bashful libertine?
The anomaly was never seen. Ease and
elegance are his requests, and upon his
lips sits aattery, ready to pay court to
blue eyes or black he is never nonplussed
and he never bushes. For glance he IL
in raptares; for word professedly lay
down his life. Yet il is he who fills our
city dens with wrecks offemale purity il
is he who profanes the holy name of
mother; desecrates the shrine where do
mestic happiness is thronged, ruins tho
hearts that trusts him, polutes the very
air he breathes, and all under the mask OF
polished gentleman. Ladies,a word in your
ear; have you lovers and would you possess
a worthy husband Choose him whose
delicacy prompts him to stand aloof, while
others crowd around you. Ifhe bushes,
stammers even at your approach, consider
them as SO many signs of his exalted
opinion of your sex. If he is retiring aud
modest, let not thousand fortunes
weigh him down in the balance, for de-
pend upon it, your life will be happier
with poverty, than with many others sur
rounded by the splendor of palaces.

Though such may blush aud stamner, and
shrug their shoulder awkwardly, unable
to terow forth with ease the thoughts
they would express, yet commend them
to use for faithful friends.
There are fine touches in their charac-

perceptions as delicate as the faintest

thoughts are not less refined and beauti.
ful that they do not flow with the impe-
tuosty Of the shallow streamlet.
We are astonished that such men are
not appreciated, that ladies with really

| thence sent forward under a sufficient
guard to Columbia. A company was
then collected, and we went out to the
woods to see il we could find the old WeH'
of which / had heard the prisoners speak.
One of the party remembered that there
used to be house near the spot where
the murder had been committed, and un-
der his direction the search was COM
menced. The same place whore the
house had stood was found, and ere long
we found the well. 1t was very deep,
and covered with logs and bushes.--
Grappling-hooks were procured, and three
dead bodies fished up from the Shiny
water. One of them was much decom-
posed, but the other two were not so far
gone but that the innkeeper could recog-
nize them as men who had stopped over
night at his house only few months be-
fore. trIe
'The next movement of the Sheriff was
to arrest Mrs. Harm and her daughter,
and also the wife and young son of Isaac
Croft. They were taken at once to Co
lumbia, and there confined separately.
"Two days after this my brothers trial
came on, and he was acquitted without
difficulty. But not so with the two wit
ncsses who had caused his arrest. They
were tried upon an indictment for mur-
der, and the evidence was so overwhelm-
ing against them that hardly shadow
of defense was made; and when they
were fully convicted Croft made con-
fesson. He acknowledged that he and
Harm had murdered the traveller aud had
just robbed him when they heard the
tramp of coming horse. They had
barely time to empty the purse and throw
it down and make off into the woods
when my brother came up. When they
saw him dismount and commence exam
ining the corpse, the idea entered their
heads of fastening the crime upon him.
They had two objects in this-hrst, to
shift the present crime from their shoul-
ders; and second, to turn suspicion from
themselves in case the previous murders
should come to light. But they failed
in their plans, and in due time met the
fate they SO richly deserved
