THE GREAT FIRE At CHARLESTON.

WHEAT Fl0A NJ WIN Nh~SAONs
The Norfolk Day Booh of Friday published
dispatches sent on tn previous day from
Charleston, stating that great fire broke out
10 that place on Wednesday night, supposed 10
have been the work Of an incendisry. At the
date OF the last dispatch, o'clock Thursday
afternoon, the fire was still raging, II being
added that II had swept across Broad street,
destroyin the Theatre, Institute, aud other
public buildings on that street.
Dispatch from Fortress Monroe, Dec. 49,
says:
The great FIRE broke out in Charleston at 9
o'clock on the evening Of the 18th Instant Al
5 O'Clock the next day It was still raging.
Nearly all that part Of the city from Broad
street. on the Southwest Bay on the east, and
King street on the west, Is said to be destroy
Cd, including the Catholic Cathedral, the Cir.
culsr Church, Institute, st. Andrews Hall, the
Theatre, and the Executive Rooms.
An extra train had left Augusta with sup
plies for the sufferers, thousands of whom
roamed the streets,) and assistance to fight the
6rr."
The following dispatch, received yesterday
from Baltimore, gives still later information Of
the fire:
Baltimore, December l5.-The Old Point
boat has arrived here, and brings the follow
ing news:
Fortress Monroe, December 14.--No flag Of
truce was sent out to-day, in consequence Of
which no further particulars Of the Charleston
fire have been received. The steamer Illinois
arrived from Port Royal this afternoon. She
reports that the pilot boat Richard Blunt Of
New York, had arrived there.
at is ascertained from a captain of Nor
folk boat, that he was informed by the captain
Of the steamer Illinois, from Port Royal, that
be pa ssed within six miles of Charleston bar.
Dor at ten o'clock on Thursday night, and that
tremendous confagration was evidently at
its height in that city. The reflection on the
clouds exceeded anything he ever saw, and the
whole bay, with the dark outlines of Fort
Sumter, was brightly illuminated. 1t did not
appear like areaection from smouldering ruins;
but from raging and uncomfortable con.
fagration.'
This brings down the account Of the FIRE to
five hours later than the dispatch received by
the Norfolk Day Book, and twenty-five hours
from the commencement Of the fire.
How far the negroes are connected with the
origin, or progress Of the fire, is as yet only a
m alter of conjecture. But whatever may have
been the fundamentally employed, 1t is i'm
possible to doubt that 1t is q visitation Of Di
vine Providence upon a guilty city.

INSPECTED.

The STRATEGY OF DELAY-A large majority
in both branches Of Congress are determined
to conasoate the property of rebels, and to
compel the officers Of the army to abandon the
practice, still continued by some Of them, of
delivering up fugitive slaves. The strategy
Of the minority, is the strategy Of staviug of
and delay, in the hope that the majority may
be seduced from their present position.
In respect to the legislation necessary to
make army officers conform to the policy of
the President and Of the country In respect to
fugitive slaves, IT may be effected by an amend
ment of any bill for the raising of troops, or
appropriatiug money for the use Of the army.
It is germane to any such bill, for example, to
the bill assigned for to-day in the House to
raise troops in Kentucky.

THE REAL CHOICE.

1t is quite idle TO wish that the negro race
did not exist at all 10 this country. 1t is here
ard We have no option left on that point. We
must take things as we find them.
t. is objected to the policy of con6scating
and libera,ing the slaves of rebels, that, to
whatever extent il is carried. il will increase
the number of free negroes, already, It Is said,
too large.
But the question is, not whether free negro
pop ation is desirable, but whether 1t is likely
to work as much, or more, or less mischief,
slavery. We must have ii in the one form, or
the other. That Is a most stubbornly fixed
fact. If there is any option remaining to US,
it is simply whether this negro population
soall be slave, or free.
Waving any present controversy in re-
spect to free negroes, il is sufficient that the
most extravsgant apprehcnsions in respect to
wa have actually suffered and are now actu-
ally suffering, In consequence Of the enslave-
meut Of negroes. We know well that that
system has brutalized and barbarized the fair
est portion of our country, exhausted the rich
est soils, condemned the mass of the white race
to ignorance and poverty, has been constant
clement Of disturbance in our national policy,
aud has finally eliminated in the present
wicked rebellion, with all It's untold waste Of
blood and treasure. This is what the negro
IN the condition Of slavery, has done for US
He may still be injurious, In the condition Of
freedom, but nobody who reflects upon the
mischiefs which slavery has brought in its
train. will doubt that any change must be a
change for the better.
The question Is, not whether we shall have
the negro among us, but in what form we shall
have him, and II is not fair matter Of disputs-
lion, that the worst possible form Is that which
has covered the wide region from the Potomac
TO the Rio Grande with such melancholy mon.
uments of physical aud moral ruin.

MULTIPLYING NEGROES. The slaves in this
country increased twenty five per cent. during
the last decade, and they have averaged that
rate Of multiplication for the last fifty years,
and this wholly by natural increase, the Afri.
can slave trade having ceased in 1908.
curing the last decade the free negroes in
this country increased only ten and one-hali
per cent, and by natural increase certainly
not more than five per cent, their numbers
being constantly swollen by manumissions and
escapes from slavery.
Thia fact OF the slow increase Of free ne.
groes has been constantly observed In this
country.
Some Of the causes oil this slow increase Of
free negroes, and Of the rapid multiplication
of slaves, are obscure. Others are plain. But
the fact itself is undsputed and indisputable.
The four millions Of negroes which we have
to-day in the condition Of slavery, will, If left
in that condition. become five millions 10 ten
years. If emancipated, their increase IN ten
years, instead Of being one million, will only
be one-ifth of that amount, taking the resultl
OF the last decade as the guide of the calcua
ton.
1t is slavery, which is the breeding mother O
| negroes.
By emancipation, We shall have eight hun
dred thousand fewer negroes in the country II
1870, than we shall have by continuing slavery

from Rio Jaueiro by way of st. Thomas
1.-The captain Of the Iroquois sent a man on
shore At Port Royal, Martinique, with signal
lights, and gave him instructions to sgnaze
the movements of the Sumter, and on the night
of the 23d November, signals were made by
the man on shore that she was leaving the
harbOr, but no notice was taken of it by the
captain Of the lroquois. His first lieutenant
tried to persuade him to give chase, which it
is said could easily have been done, but he de.
clined.
THE movements of the Sumter were seen
from the deck of the lroquois. She took a

MILITARY MATTERS.


History tells us of the experiment made by
Xerxes to chain the Helespont with bridge
of boats over which to march his invading
legions to the conquest of Greece. History
also chronicles the signal failure Of thu enter
prise projected by the proud leader Of the Per-
sian hosts. The idea Of crossing rivers with
bridges constructed by lashing boats together
is therefore not original with the moderns, but
originated in the brain Of the royal invader of
Attica, years before the Christian era. To
modern times, however, belongs the credit Of
perfecting this important branch Of military
science, aud great have beeu the improvements
made within the past few years. Very success
full experiments have been made during the
last few days, under the direction of Colonel
Murphy. of the New York Fifteenth, In throwing
pontoon bridge across the Eastern Branch Of
the Potomac, just above the navy yard. On
Saturday, bridge OF three hundred and sixty
feet In length was constructed 10 q few minutes,
aud submitted to severe practical tests, with
entire success. 1t is very simple In construc.
ton.
INGENIOUS PIECE OF vILLAINY.
A very ingenious piece of villainy, and of q
dangerous character, has just been discovered
by an officer connected with the Naval Ordnance
Bureau.
A 50pouuder sem-stesl gun forged by the
Franklin Forge, of New York, and bored, rifed,
and finished by Messrs Carpenter Il Plass, waa
taken to Staten Island for trial proof, when, Of
the ninth round, 1t burst, and upon examine
ton It was discovered that, to cover up some
defects in the base OF the bore, an entire false
chamber had been made, and SO nicely fitted In
the gun az to defy the most minute detection
until the gun broke.
Had this rifle passed the proof Of ten rounds
and been received into the naval service afost
1t would doubtless have burst and caused los.
Of life and serious damage to the vessel.
The forgers attribute this clever piece OIL
ra-cality to the fnishers Of the gun.
