ANOTHER FIRE AT FLoRENcE.-Our atten-

residence Of Major James r. Pawley, at Flor
ence, was destroyed by fir. on Monday night
lust after dark. This burning seems to have
been accidental. A fire hal been left burn.
Ing in the second story, from which the build
ing caught; and while all the Inmates ofthe
house were quietly seated down stairs, the
flames had so far gotten possession of the sec
ond story before being discovered that all that
could be done was to try to save some of the
furniture of the first floor. The fire spread 30
rapidly that only q small portion of the furni-
ture, clothing, plate, &C., were saved. The
seyerest loss to Majnr Pawley was drawer
of valuable papers. There was no Insurance.
I learn that, including the valuable papers,
twenty thousand dollars would not cover Ma
jor Pawley's loss. he and his family have the
sympathy of the community, which we hope
TO see expressod IN acrlon. -
stThe colored man shot at the late fire., who
was thought MORALLY wounded, lam glad to
learn Is recovering. also learn that he AYERS
the shooting was uniSsentional."

EXPLOSION OF A LoCoMoTIyE.-About twelve
o'clock yesterday the boiler of an engine on
the Savannah and Charleston Railroad ex-
ploded in Saltkehatchie swamp, fortunately
without oceasioning any loss of llfs. The en-,
CINE was pulling the passenger Lrain which
left this city in the morning, and had just pass
ed the passenger train from Savannah few
hundred yards on the turnout when the ex.
ploslon took place, with the traln;under way.
1t was heard by the officers on board of the
Savannah train, who Immediately backed up
to ascertain what was wrong. The whole
boiler was ripped open by the force Of the
steam, and the engine was completely dis
sbled. The engineer, Robt. Leak, and the fire.
man, Lawrence Raymond, both white, were
the only. persons injured. They were not
scalded, but were painfully cut in the face and
neck by the fragments OF. glass thrown from
the windows of the engine-room by the shock.
Their injuries, however, are not OF serious
nature. All the other persons on the train
escaped unhurt and no damage was done e1-
cept to the engine. The conductor telegraph-
ed to this city for another engine, which was
duly sent, and It is hoped that the train pro-
ceeded In safety to Savannah.
