CT rpublishcs communication from ~. =.
Lide, Esq, of that District, in which he
states that his gin. house and some smaller
buildings were destroyed by inccndiary jres
on the eth ult. On the same night but at
an earlier hour the gin house and fodder
of his neigl,bor and friend, Capt. Wm, Law,
were fired, but it was discovered in time to
frusrate the diabolical purposes of the
wrctchcs, and save his premises from n
most disastrous confiagaton. There is
goodreason for believing that this vas all
tho work of one party. 'a"5 Q" r..
GA few days before Mr.. Lidc's calamity,
tho torch was applied to q building, contain

consumed. '""t t''"
Son Sunday night last, tic torch was also
applied to some buildings at tho Cyprus
Plantation of tho late james S. MCCALL, mud
one or more Of them were consumed
"Sicaling has become so common that ii
is scarcely noticed now; the absorbing
question is how 10 save ones premises from
tho incendiary's torch. No ono feels safe
without strict watch upon his premises, and
God only knows how this thing is to end,
"rhe dwelling house on Gen. j. Il. Net.
Ties rlantatiom--in which the General was
sleeping for tho first timc in months-+frc,l
on Wednesday night, and before much could
be saved was soon in blaze, and tho General
had but timo TO. save himself"
