Terrible MISUNDERSTANDING of the
Kingstree Jail in South. Carolina.
Fearful Loss of Life.
From the Kingstree Star Of the 9th instant.
We are called upon to record one of the
most horritying and melancholy accidents
which has ever occurred within the limits
of this State. Though an accident which
no caution or foresight could avoid, it will
send thrill of horror throughout the whole
country. On the evening of the 18th instant,
between the hours of and P NJ, the oc-
cupant of the Jail heard, very suddenly,
rumbling noise in the upper stories of the
Jail, as if the iron gates were being shaken,
and Immediately following by the cry of fire.
He rushed from his room to ascertain wheth-
er the Jail was on fire or not and after walk
ing around the Jail he observed little
smoke issuing from one of the windows on the
third floor. His next object was to open the
prison door and cxtinguish it, but remem-
bering that Mr.. Barineau, who was the jailor
and who was living several hundred yards
from the Jail, had the keys in his possession,
he (the occupant Of the jail Immediately
despatched messenger for him. Mr.. Bari
neau, accompanied by the Sheriff, was soon
III Tue JAIL LII Tue Ilehl Time, however,
numbers of persons had collected. The fire,
apparently, at this time had not made as
rapid progress as was shown in few min
utes, although dense smoke was issuing
from every window.
The Sheriff, with the assistance of nearly
all the citizens in the village and garrison
at this place, Immediately took the most ac-
tive measures to save, if possible, the unfor-
tunate inmates The door on the basement
was opened, but the dense and suffocating
smoke prevented any one from rescuing
those who occupied the third story. AS a last
resort, strenuous efforts were then made, with
the assistance of ladders, to remove the graf
ing from one of the windows, which proved
Intellectual.
At this time the cries and screams of the
suffering inmates were heartrending. The
Jail was in flames, and twenty-five human
beings were being burnt to death without
any possible relief Human agency could
effect nothing; every effort was made to
rescue them which could be suggested, but
all to no purpose. The devouring flames
soon consumed them, and in the charred
ruins is only to be seen the ghasting specta-
Gle of bones. Horrible as the accident may
be, and as much as it may be regretted, a
consolation follows of having done our duty
to the best of our abilities, and that accident
is confined to no place or order of circum-
stances.

YOUR MIssION.

We republish this beautiful song, from
The Singing Pilgrim" by request Thu
words are by Mrs. Ellen 81. Gates. y
When our lamented President Lincoln
heard Mr.. Philip Philips sing at the Hal
If Representatives in Washington, FEBRUARY
10Th, 1865, he was overcome with emotion
md sent up the following written request (ac
Iimile) to Hon. William H. Seward, Chair
nan, for its repetition:
"Ncar the close let us have "Your Mis-
non " repeated by Mr.. Philips. Don't say
called for it." A. LINCOLN.
If you can not on the ocean
Sail among the swiftest feet,
Rocking on the highest pillows,
Laughing at the storms you meet,
You can stand among the sailors,
Anchored yet within the bay;
You can lend hand to help them,
As they launch their boat away.
IF you are too weak to journey
Up the mountain, steep and high,
You can stand within the valley,
While the multitudes go by;
You can chant in happy measure,
As they slowly pass along;
Though they may forget the singer,
They will not forget the song.
If you have not gold and silver
Ever ready to command;
If you cannot t'ward the needy
Reach an ever open hand;
You can visit the afflicted,
Der the erring you can weep;
You can be true disciple
Sitting at the Saviors feet.
If you cannot in the harvest
Garner up the richest sheaves,
Many grain both ripe and golden
Will the careless reapers leave;
Go and CLEAN among the briers,
Growing rank against the wall,
For it may be that their shadow
Hides the heaviest wheat of all.
If you can not in the conflict
Prove yourself soldier true
If, where fire and smoke are thickest,
There's no work for you to do;
When the battle-fields is silent,
You can 60 with careful tread,
You can bear away the wounded,
You can cover up the dead.
Do not, then, stand idly waiting,
For some greater work to do;
Fortune is a lazy Goddess
She will never come to You.
Go and toll in any vineyard,
Do not fear to do or dare;
If you want a field of labor,
You can find it anywhere.

How TO BURN CoAL.-Nine out of ten
who attempt to burn coal in stove waste
about as much coal as is necessary to be con-
sumed for the obtaining of all the heat de-
sirable Observe the following simple rule !:
Never fill stove more than half or two
thirds full of coal, even in the coolest wealth
er. When the fire is low, never shake the
CRATE or disturb the ashes; but add from
ten to fifteen small Jumps of coal, and set
the draft open. When these are heated
through, and somewhat ignited, add the
amount necessary for another fire but do
not disturb the ashes yet Let the draft be
open half an hour. Now shake out the ash
es. The coal will be thoroughly ignited, and
will keep the stove at high heat from six
to twelve hours, according to the GOODNESS of
the weather.
For very cold weather After the fire is
made, aecordingto rules first and third, add,
every hour, twelve or twenty Jumps of coal.
You will find that the ashes made each hour
will be in about that rate.

TExAs.-Judge Duval, United States
Judge for the Western Districtof Texas, has
delivered stirring charge to the Grand
Jury. He quotes at length from the Consti-
tuition and from the Amnesty Proclamation,
and says there is reason to believe that some
persons have violated the conditions on
which they obtained amnesty and such per-
sons should be visited with the punishment
which their infamy deserves. The man who
avails himself Of the generosity of the Gov
eminent to obtain exemption from punish
ment and then violate his oath is more gull
ty than one who was never pardoned. He
also, in strong terms, advises the punishment
of all who failed to avail themselves of the
Amnesty Proclamation. He also calls atten
ton to the enforcement of the Civil Rights
Bill, and says we do not realize the freedom
of our late slaves as we must and should do.
The Austin IateItigeneer says that w. G.
Cornell, who was assassinated at Navasota,
was United States, Deputy Marshal. Hewas
to serve thirty-five writs for Judge Duvals
Court. This is supposed to be the cause of
his murder.
