Fire in Charleston.

4 very destructive fire occurred in
Charleston on Saturday night, whereby
several valuable stores and stocks were con-
sumed. It broke out about eleven o'clock
in the wholesale paint and oil establish
ment of Messrs. Holmes &; Calder, No. 12S
Meeting street, near Hasel It is supposed
to have originated from spontaneous COM
bustion IN the centre of the main building.
Besides the store of Messrs. Holmes &,
Calder, those of Messrs. Campbell & Knox,
Auctioneers, and VIM. l.. Webb, crockery
store, were destroyed. The buildings and
stocks were insured.
The fire at one time threatened to be.
come most extensive confagration, but
was checked by the timely exertions of the
fire department. Much credit is awarded
to them, Mr.. Francis Nipson is especially
mentioned for gallant and valuable SER
vices, -

". G. Railroad.

It seems now to be settled that Smith, OF
Johnston, is to be President, and johnson,
of Raleigh, Superintendent, of this great
State work.
This is an improvement in which the
State has deep interest, and one we can
not regard as the mere object of party
spoils. Upon its proper management de-
wolves, III a considerable degree, the pros
perity of the whole system of Railroads.
We will not now make any objection upon
the fact that these persons are Radical in
politics, and that their places are given to
them mainly as Radicals for their subser-
viency to Holden, but place it upon higher
grounds-that of incompetency. Mr..
Smith may be tolerable fair business man,
but he certainly has neither that enlarged
capacity NOR experience to fill so important
station-neither has Mr.. johnson.
This road isnow well managed, probably
better than at any previous time. Mr..
Turner j a gentleman of ability and great
energy, and has devoted his whole time to
his duties-and certainly no better or more
compent railroad man can be found any
where than Mr.. Anderson, and the effect of
their skill and personal attention to bust
ness is plain to any one who will take the
trouble to look into the matter.
As we came over the Road on Sunday,
we were driven along at schedule rates,
which is about twenty-five miles an hour,
by an engine made complete at the Com
pany Shops, and passed over miles of new
iron, laid down and purchased by the
earnings of the road-$100,OOO having
within the past year been expended in that
item alone and we believe the report will
show beyond this at least S150,000 of earn
ings.
In every particular this good manage
ment is evident. The cars are clean, well
supplied with ice water, and the Conduc-
tors gentlemanly, obliging, and prompt to
perform all their various duties. With the
appointment of Smith and the consequent
prescription of officers of all grades, all
this changes, and greatly to the injury of
the road. The appointment of Radical
here will turn nearly all the freight des-
tined for or from this point over the South
Carolina railroads. That alone will be a
serious item, and one worthy of the con-
sideration of the "appointing power" If
it is determined to infict upon the corpor-
alton scallawag as President, give US as
decent ONT as can be got. Gen. Barrin-
ger (scallawagism out of the question:
would really make good officer. In the

Drying Sweet Potatoes,

Experiments have been made in drying
sweet potatoes, in this country, and it has
been pronounced successful. Francis Fl.
Smith, of Baltimore, says that he has dried
them successfully. He has simple peeler
and slicer, which prepares them rapidly.
They are then put into sort of tunnel, and
dried as fruit is dried. They lose two thirds
of their weight. They become white, and,
in drying, hard. They have only to be
steamed, and they are restored to their
original freshness. If this is practicable,
and the dried potato becomes marketable,
North Carolina will be on hand with few.

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.

President johnson Looming Up as a Can
didate-Prospect OF a General Amnesty.
WASHINGTON, June 21-There is quite q
f1utter tonight among the knowing ones
in Democratic circles.
The friends of the President here claim
that he will certainly receive the largest
vote on the first ballot at the Democratic
National Convention. They further anti
cipate that within the next three or four
days some official demonstration will be
made, the effect of which will be to secure
for him the nomination. They are all the
more confident of his chances, because IN.
til now he has not been spoken of as csn,
didate, and has not, therefore. incurred
the antagonism of thepartisans ofthe lead
ing aspirants. It is claimed that Mr..
Johnson's gallant stand for the Constltu
ton entities him to the gratitude and Ia
vorable consideration OF the Democratic
party, and that some bold stroke of execu'
tive policy is all that is needed to insure
him the requisite two-thirds vote. Hence
it is confidently stated that important
events are near at hand. The current con-
lecture is that there will be general am
nesty.

We learn that the last steamer from Bre-
men to Baltimore brought fifty immigrants,
mostly in families, destined for New Kent
county, Virginia, where arrangements had
been made for them in advance, by rur-
chases and leases of land. Ere this they
have reached their new homes. We hope
the reception they will receive and the
advantages which they will enjoy will be
such as to induce others to follow their
lead, and these settlers prove the forerun-
ners of thousands of others who will seek
homes in Virginia and the other Southern
States to their own advantage and for the
welfare of the country.
We commend the enterprise of the New
Kent farmers and the success with which
they have met to our own people. These
Virginians have struck the keynote to pros
perity, and they have the hearty good will
of all for an early return to their energy
and pnblic-spirited efforts to build up their
own fortunes and to better the condition
of their beloved commonwealth.

CRANE.

We once saw black bear suffering from
epileptic fits We were reminded of that
bear yesterday when we saw Crane foam
ing at the mouth, paving the air, snarling
out imprecations, first upon the Grand
Army and then upon the French JesuiIs,
and kicking up dust generally in the
congregation of the saints. The bear we
saw was Gagged, and spluttered away be-
hind iron bars; but the epileptic bear of
the convention was allowed to run loose,
and no one seemed TO care much about
him, except to move off little distance, as
his froth fell like snowfakes at the close of
every spasm.
Crane, you are wasting a tremendous
amount Of energy that ought to be bottled
up for better purposes. Nature in
tended you for a pretty clever fellow,
but you are doing all you can to defeat
her designs. A more intimate aequaint-
ance with you has brought us to the con-
elusion that if you would only sojourn a
while at some good water-eure establish
ment, or take half an ounce of the tincture
OF asafetida-the most powerful anti
spasmodic we know of-for three months,
you would come out a renovated man and
fit to enter the Grand army of the Re-
public, notwithstanding your valuable ser
vices to the cause Of the rebellion in times
long past and that we are willing to for
get. Our bear in addition to having fits
had sore head, and, Crane, we are more
than half inclined to think you have a
terribly sore one also. You evi-
IDENTIFY want some official employment,
and as the convention seems disposed
to leave you out in the cold
we here recommend you for the position of
bootblack to General Hancock. General
Hancock is doing all he can to break up
loyal organizations in the state, and you
are his feeble orderly sergeant. Take the
position, Crane; ycu will get nothing better
in long while. General Hartsuf has just
seat MS a note saying that the place will be
kept open for you until dispatch from
Washington is received ordering General
Hancock and staff up Salt river. General
Hartsuf further says that in the event of
General Hancock's leaving you can accom-
pany him. Salt river is supposed to be in
a northern climate. We believe it is one
of the rivers Mr.. Seward bought last sum
mer 1t is q good place for hot-headed
men like yourself, Crane aud in the favor
lite amusement Of spearing walruses you
will have an abundance of time to get cool.
Take Hancock's offer, Crane.

After Texas, we presume Arkansas is the
most barbarous state in the Union. II
civil law will have the goodness to turn its
attention to some Of the Outrages which
have been perpetrAted In Chieot county,
and bring The perpetrators to punishment,

eulOgisms that General Hancock has Just
pronounced upon it, and assert stronger
