printed prospectus has been laid upon cur table
announcing the publication in February of new
weekly newspaper in Osangeburg, S. c. Mr.
CHARLES Fl. HALL will bo the publisher, and
SAMUEL D1BpLE, Esq, the editor. we have known
Mr. D1BBLR for many years. and have long had an
intutiye conviction that he was suffering from an
attack of cacoet1.es ewspaper-scrsbendi. We are
glad therefore, that he now has fair prospect o.
an early cnre. Mr. D. is o thorough scholar and,

men in the Stare, and we have, therefore, no doubt
that the Netps will be eminently successful. We

FRE.-About half-past seven P. NJ. yesterday a
smoke was observed proceeding from Mrs. s.
j. CoTcHEqT's Fashion Emporium, King street,
over READS. The Chief was at once notified, and
was promptly on the spot. The fremen turned
out in force, and, in few minutes after the alarm
had been sounded every engine was present.
The FIRE had apparently originated in a closet on
the second floor, and the damage by the flames
was confined to that and tho adjoining room but
the heavy deluge Of water that was thrown upon
the building swept every thing before it. Mrs
CoTcmTTs stock was almost completely ruined ;
and although MIR. READ succeeded in saving some
goods, they we're all in a damaged condition. Mr.
QunaBT's Daguerrean Gallery also suffered con-
siderably from the water.
The force with which the water was thrown into
the building was sufficient to tear down the lath-
ing and to break through the floors, thus COM
pletely drenching Mr. READ's stock in the lower
story. During the progress Of the fire steam
engine was stationed on the track in King street,
and for some time created an efectual blockade,
preventing the cars from either side from continu-
ing their trips.
IS. DISTRICT CoURT.-The case of the United
States vs The schooner Grapeshot, tackling, ap-
parel and furniture, drags its slow length along.
The Court met at 10 o'clock, a. NJ, yesterday, and
after the reading OF the evidence by the Clerk,
which consumed nearly an hour and half, hon.
HENRY BUST entered upon his argument for tho
respondents. We left the Courtroom at o'clock,
when the learned gentleman was still speaking.
Mr.. BU1sT's argument showed much research and
great constructive ability; and although the mate
rial was of the drisst he succeeded in throwing life
and even eloquence into his remarks
Tho case, we presume will bo concluded this
morning, by the argument in behalf OF tie Gov.
ernment by tho District Attorney.
