Fires OF 1866.
The Richmond Times says:

L ne NlcnmOOu Times SAYS:
The present year has been remark
able III many respects, but in moth
ing more than the number and mag
nitude of its fires. Although the
year has not yet expired, and even
confining our observations to the
area formerly comprised in the old
Union and its territories, we find that
up to this time the loss by fire nearly
doubles the exhibit rendered for the
whole of last year. The total num-
Der of great fires for the year 1865,
was Isl, and the losses resulting
from these fires were estimated Mt
vi, ,52S, 600. Up to the first day of
July OF the current year, the number
of fires is given at 2S9, and the ag-
gregate of the property destroy cd is
valued at 32,976,OOO. When it is
considered that this estimate en-
braces only half Of the present year,
it will be seen how vastly this wear
Will excel all others in these terrible
statistics of fiery desolation.
There can be no doubt that the
universal advance Of this most de-
structlve and at the same time most
useful element of nature, is due to
that reckless spirit engendered by the
war which riots IN violence and re-
Jolces in crime 1t is true that the
most considerable fire of recent date
Is that of Portland, which was caused
by pop-cracAer exploded by care
less boy. But it is no less true that
the great majority of our conAagra-
tons are to be traced to bad men,
who thus revenge themselves for fan
eied wrongs, or apply the torch in
order that they may rob and pillago
with more security during the con
fusion of general panic
AS long as the peace and morals of
a people are unhinged by war and
fierce political excitements, of tho
character existing in this country, it
may be expected that wicked mon
will invoke the destructive agencies
of nature in the furtherance of their
fell designs. Until our people cease
to war upon one another, they will be
plagued by fires, and cpidemics and
social and political diseases worse
than either

From Washington.

The correspondent of the Rich-
mond Dispatch says:
I notice forcible statement, made
upon authority, contradicting the
radical reports which have been so
industriously circulated of late, that
the President had been approached
by delegations to urge the removal of
Secretary McCulloch There may
have been aspiring ciques in Wash
ing ambitious for such disposition
OF events; but it is hardly probable
that any set of individuals, knowing
the entire confidence the President
has in the Secretary of the Treasury,
would boldly go and urge his re-
moval. Mr.. NcCuloch is known as
having been the first to incur radical
anger, and that was when he made
his Fort Wayne speech, before the
assembling of Congress That fore
shadowed a policy on his part which
gave great offence.to the extremists,
and since then they have gradually
entertained a bitter feeling of anita
gonism to him. Almost every West
ern radical journal-they are more
vitnperative than their papers of this
section, with perhaps one exception
IS now engaged, through correspond
ents at the capital, or in other ways,
IN undertaking the capacity and
ability of the head of the Treasury
Department. The game will not be
worth its cost. The idea is to create
a popular feeling against his reten-
ton, and by these means induce him
to resign. AT present, that official
cannot be spared.
The President has made no small
number of removals from Office since
the adjournment, and is still pur-
suing the work. Several Treasury
officers We're among those appointed
to-day. The radicals OF the Senate
have obliged the sergcant-at-arms of
that body to remove A P. German,
Esq, its postmaster, which has been
done, and the dismissal went into
effect on the 1st. Mr. German was
removed solely on political grounds,
it being known that lie was a strong
endorser of the policy of the Admi-
nlstratlon, that gentleman never
having endeavored in the least to con-
ceal his friendship for the President.
he had been connected with the Office
fora period Of fifteen years. That
Is the radical style of bidding for the
retention Of their friends in office.
Several applicants are already pre-
sented for the vacancy.

We learn from the Charleston Cou-
7'ie'' that the Baptist Convention of
this State met ut Greenville on the
9th nit. The Courier says:
The delegates consisted of mem
bcrs of the Charleston, Edgefield,
Welch Neck, Savannah River. Tiger
Hivcr, Reedy River, Edisto, Saluda.
Barnwell, Bethel, Moriah, Twelve
Mile, Broad River, Greenyille and
Fairfield Associations, and n repre-
scntation from the Charleston Female
Missionary Society. Several promi-
nent ministers from North Carolina
were also present and participated in
the deliberations Of the body.
Upon ballot for officers, the fol-
loving gentlemen were elected: Rev.
f. [. Winkler, u. D., President; Rev.
). y. Is. Dargan, Vice President; Rev.
=. Manly, jr., d. d., Secretary; Prof.
L. IL. Judson, Treasurer.
The Constitution was revised, and
adjusted to the altered circumstances
under which the work of the Conven-
ton was resumed. The three Boards
formerly existing We're swept away,
and IN their place an Executive Board
appointed, invested with all the infiu-
cnce the Convention could impart,
and charged especially with the work
OF State missions. The new Board is
located at Darlington, under the fol-
lowing officers: President, Rev. Il.
Furman, D. d.; President. T.
+. lhde, Esq; Secretary, Col. B. w.
Edwards; Treasurer, +. J. Lide, Esq. !;
Auditor, }. l.. Coker, Esq; General
Agent, Rev. j. o. b. Dargan. This
last officer will visit the various asso-
ciations of the State.

The south Getting Rich.


One of our New York exchanges
says that the South would be getting
rich fast if the money received for
cotton found its way among her
people. It is estimated, that since
the close of the war 2,400, 900 bales
of cotton have found their way to
market from the South, and esti-
mating the price received by the pro-
ducer at twenty cents per pound,
over 5000, 100000 have passed into
the hands of the Southern planters.
This, indeed, would be a nice little
capital for the South to commence
the work of reconstruction, but, I'M
fortunately, the figures do not tell
the truth in this instance. What
between the raids Of war, the confis-
cation of cotton along the Red and
Mississippi Rivers, and the pickings
of so-called Treasury agents." the
few bales of cotton left to the "origi-
Ae'A OWaS1S ulu uOt OO 1uOTo Ltlan
very slimly stock their plantations,
and in the majority of cases it did
not ever suffice for that.
The cotton crops of former years
very rarely exceeded 5000, 600, 900,
and the paper referred to, judges
from these figures that the fall trade
from the South will be better than
their merchants generally calculated
upon. It may be SO, but those of us at
home will find it difficult to discover
any good basis for such calculation.
Ii our people were wise, their green
backs would not be spent in the pur-
chase IF fiimsy finery, but in build
ing up our own factories, even if we
all, ladies' and gentlemen, had to go
back to the ''hodden grey" of Con-
federate times. Never, until this re-
