DEsraucT1oN OF NorrD Bu11pmo.

WAS discovered IN the large and hand
some two-story wcb.len dwelling, on
Senate street. near Pickens, known as
the "Gibbes House, but now the pro-
perty of Senator Andrews, OF Orange
burg. Owing to the imperfect Are
alarm, the flames had made such head
way before the 6remen arrived, that
they at once turned their attention TO
the protection OF the surrounding pre-
party, as immense sparks were falling
in every direction. The building in
which the fire originated was COM
ple:c!y destroyed. bat the only further
damage was the ruination OF tho excel
lent vegetable garden attached TO the
post hospital. AS soon as notice
was received at the garrison, alarm
guns were fired, tho long roll beaten,
the bugle sounded. and in on in.
credibly short space OF time, up came
the boys in blue. at double-quick.
and placed themselves in position to
render whatever service might be re-
quired OF them. The burnt building
was somewhat noted, having been oc-
cnpied as gubernatorial mansion dur
ing tho official terms of Cows. Pickens
aud Magrath; it has been closed for q
length OF time, however. We are in
formed that colored family lived in q
house on tho premises. The origin Of
the fire and the amount of insurance
{if uuy) nre unknown.
The Republican papers call attention
to tho fact that, although County Au-
ditor Hendrix. of Lexington. is the
first officer to make his settlement for
1873 with the Comptroller-Genera
aud with not one mill discrepancy in
the accounts Of tho three ofIiocs, ret
Hendrix is removed "for cause, while
his successor walks mp to the Captain 4
Office and fails to spell his own name
correctly on his bond. And this is
justice!
