plantation OF the Rev. Mr.. Philip Douglas on the
James Island Greek which intersects the island.
Mr. Hutchinson had bought some cotton that eve
ming, and was having it carried into the mill
when light fell from the hand OF one OF the
party upon the large pile Of cotton. The fame
dashed across the lnnammGble mass like light
ming, and in few moments the building, which
was built Of pine, on lre In every part. There
was bale orsea island cotton, several OF upland
and great deal OF yellow cotton lying around on
the floor OF the building, all OF which, notwith-
standing the repeated attempts Of those near to
save them, were destroyed with but q small ex-
ception. The immense blaze from the pine boards
ard powerful heat soon drove Off the tmpromptu
dremen with their buckets, and they were COM
pelled to witness the destruction without being
able to stay its progress. Besides the building
and cotton, three Mccarthy gins and one saw gin,
on the first ioor, were entirely destroyed. The
engine, being in the same building, was also more
or less Injured by the heat Most OF the cotton be-
longed to Mr.. Hutchinson, or the firm OF Hutchin.

morning, Mr. MCGEE, wharhnger on Accommoda
tion wharf, missed bale Of upland cotton from
lot, and, being unable to account for Its disap-
pearance, reported the loss at the Detectives
office. The matter was placed In the hands OF
OHacers Davis and Burke, who, Immediately pro-
ceed.ng to the wharf, made close Investigation
OF the premises. Suspicious were aroused by
their inquiries, which led to the arrest Of one
Henry Jackson, an employee on the wharf.
After remaining some time in durance vile, he
confessed to his having stolen the bale OF cotton
and sold it to certain firm in the city. It's said
thai the parties implicated win be arrested to-
day for buying and receiving stolen goods. IL is
but Just to add that, within one hour after the
mattefhad been reported, the bale OF cotton was
stored at the Detectives office, where is is at
present. Great praise Is due to the officers for the
rapid ard vigilant manner in which they worked
ND the case.
