afternoon while the family was at Church,
the store and dwelling Of Mr.. John L. Nc
Carly was forced open by one James King

F1RE.-On Sunday night aboutS o'clock
a fire occurred in q bedroom Of Mrs. Nc

BuRG1AR1ous.-We learn that the
store of Messrs. Ezekiel & Kohn was en-
tered, by picking the lock of the cellar door,

A SECRET CoRREspoNDENT.-The New
York Herald, of Friday, says:
Our correspondent at Columbia, S. c.,
has recently made trip Of some length
through. the State, and is Of opinion that
the railroads are as demoralized as the peo-
pie. Columbia still plainly shows the
marks of the fire which swept over it dur
ing the war. The people are generally
disposed to feel reckless in regard to the
consequences of reconstruction, and work
themselves into fit of passion when talk
ing about it, Our correspondent believes
that there is some sly artifce concealed be-
meath the professions Of Wade Hampton
and others, at the recent colored mass
meeting, conciliatory Of the negroes. They
talk very differently in private conver-
sation.
We should say that this correspondent is
one among thousand. The people Of this
State reckless Of the consequences of recon-
struction; the Decentralization Of rail
roads, and the "artifces" Of Wade Hamp-
ton, which this acute correspondent has
discovered in this locality, entitle him to a
leather medal and high rank in Benefits
