The CLOG in the Sinking Fund,

The State Treasurer, Auditor General
and Secretary Of the Commonwealth, COM
posing the Board of Commissioners of the
Sinking Fund, met yesterday at the capitol,
and having in conformity with law applied
the entire balance in the Sinking Fund to
the payment of the public debt, transcribed
the requirements of the law by calling in
and stopping interest, after the first day of
November next, upon the sum of $4,000
of State indebtedness, for the redemption
of which the Sinking Fund was not in i'm
mediate condition, relying probably upon
the receipts of the next two months to
provide for its payment.
The debt thus called for redemption,
amounting to S50S,016 &c, includes all the
indebtedness of the Commonwealth which
has matured, or will mature, before 1877.
The Sinking Fund Commission is thus
brought to dead halt in its operations.
The Commissioners cannot go into open
market to purchase the State Loan at Il
premiun-nor can they stop interest upon
any portion of it until it becomes due in
1877. Until legislation is had to provide
for the difficulty the Commission is power
less and i'll the meantime what Is to be-
come of the Democratic clamor over the
mismanagemcnt of the Sinking Fund ?
How can it be mismanaged when it cannot
be managed at all
With three months yet Intervening
previous to the Gubernatorial election, this
action of the Commissioners, virtually tax
ing the Sinking Fund question out OF the
canvass, is unjustifable and intolerablc,
and upon the part of Auditor General
Temple simply incxplicablc He will be
called to answer at the bar of his party for
this ill-advised destruction of half its stock
in trade for the present campaign.
Formerly the Commission was empower
ed to purchase the loan Of the State at It's
current price in open market, but the
practice was believed to enure rather to the
profit of the Treasurer than Of the Com
monwealth and the enabling statute was
accordingly repealed. Its re-enactment
would seem necessary to prevent glut in
the Sinking Fund, unless the Legislature
shall see proper, relieving the State Treas
urer and his sureties, to loan out the public
funds to the highest bidders.
The State loan is held at a premium OF
from to 9 per cent. and is never pre-
sentcd for payment until the holders are
forced to come in by the stoppage OF the
interest upon their bonds.
Appended is schedule of the loan oi
the State, for which no provision has yet
been made, showing the amount and datt
of maturity of each

A YOUNG MARTYR. death of Miss
Fitzgerald. Of Paterson, N. j., by kero-
sene burning. heretofore announced, was
case of martyrdom. In getting out of
bed to procure relief for tooth-ache.
she upset the lamp and set fire to the
bed. Her first thought was not of her
sell, but of some children who were
sleeping in the same room with her, and
she carried them out, and ran into the
street, all burning and naked as she was,
the binding snow affording q grateful
sense Of relief. Her cries aroused the
other inmates Of the house, among them
Dr.. Cahill and his brother. William, who
ran to her rescue and carried her into
the house, young Cahill getting his
hands severely burned in SO doing.
Meanwhile, the unfortunate girl was suf-
fering untold agony from her burns.
Her whole body, from her neck down,
was burned-her sides to q crisp. and her
feet and limbs so that the skin peeled of
and fell down in strips. But she bore
her sufefings like o martyr, and when
DR.. Cahill applied oil and lime water to
ease her pain, she said, gratefully: s.That
feels good; shall never forget You, doc.
tor" It was evident that her Injuries
were fatal, and that all that was possible
TO be done for her was to ease her pain.
She fingered till about /. 80 o'clock, when
she died.

COLUMBIA, C., WEDNESDAY MORNING MAY s. 1875

Mr.. Hill Davis house was torn to pieces
his wifeia jaw bone broken and his little
girl Lillian badly injured. Mr.. Davis
himself was seriously hurt. Every
building was torn down, and the bark
was literally torn of the fruit trees in
the orchard. It is supposed that this
was done by the pelting Of rocks against
the trees, ms the Aeld across which The
storm swept Was filled with pebbles.
These were hurled down in o perfect
shower upon the houses and timber. It
then crossed the creek into Mrs. Thomas
Stelling's place, which 1t devastated in
. terrible manner. Mr.. James Burton'a
farm was the next in the route Of the de-
stroying elements. This gentleman's
residence and out-buildings, with nearly
all the timber, were destroyed. A re-
markable fact was noticed at Mrs. Stell-
ing's. The top soil, trash and rails in
and around large cotton field were
blown up steep hill, which actually
looked afterwards as if mighty food
had swept up its side. The drift was
piled against the sides of large logs ex-
actly az it would have been by torrent
of water. Mrs. Stellingis chimneys were
snapped off and fell upon the roof of
her dwelling, crushing through. The
gardens wero destroyed and out-build.
ings also. Mr. Orowiey's house and
fencing were demolished. Buildings,
fences and trees were leveled at Shoury' 8
place. At Rutledge the Masonic Hall,
In the Eastern part of the town, was
completely torn down.
Near Covington, the tornado seems to
have divided into three-one, moving
from the Southwest, Travelled q little
North to East, and was that which passed
near and over Rutledge. This was about
half mile wide. Another of the three
went due North. This passed over
Maxey's, station on the Athens branch
of the Georgia Railroad, blew down O
number OF buildings and killed O young
man named Maxey and q negro. A party
of young men out fishing at the time had
their wagon blown away and the horse
killed. Up to the time when our infor-
mant heard from that section, all the
fishing party had not been found, and it
was supposed that several of them were
killed. The tornado crossed the Oconee
River at Mill Shoals Factory. All the
building. except the factory were blown
down. The third fork of the tornado
travelled in Southerly direction, and is
said to have caused great destruction in
Jasper County.
A letter from Bairdstown. Ca. says:
II IL impossible to estimate the damage
done by the cyclone-completely de-
molishing houses and destroying farms.
Several persons killed and many
| wounded.
The storm created considerable da-
mage i'll some portions of Barnwell
County, 8. c.. A farmer from that sec-
ton was in the city yesterday for the
purpose OF purchasing horses and mules,
a.! OF his, hye in number, having been
k1iied by the storm, which blew stable
down on them.

Forest Fires in Cecil.

| MUCH VALUABLE WOODLAND BURNED OVER.
| On Sunday last, reports tho Elkton Democrat,
Merry's words, northeast Of Elkton, were in
flames. A passing engine on the P. w. & B. Il.
IL. is said to have started the fire on the previous
Thursday, which was supposed to have been ex-
tnguished,bu the high winds of Sunday started
a smoulderlng ember, and the result was the
destruction OF large woods, the property of
James Mercy, the Gilpns and others. The
cracking OF the burning trees is described as a
marked feature of the fire. They seemed act
ually to cry out in agony and groan in pain.
On Tuesday afternoon black volumes of smoke
nlled the air to the west Of the town. and arous-
ed much uneasiness to their source. The
woods of George Mercy were on fire. About
fifty acres were burned over, and much fencing
and timber destroyed.
On the same day (Thursday) a fire broke out
from coal pit in the midst OF the cord wood of
y. kennard Miller, on the land of Daniel Brat
ton, Esq., three miles northwest of Elkton, and
burned about eighty cords of wood.
On Thursday the strong westerly wind filled
the whole air around with dense smoke, and
scorched leaves fell thick in the surrounding re-
gion. Persons coming from the Elk Neck fish
cries reported that they had to drive several
miles over roads with the underbrush in flames
on both sides. This time the fire originated at
a coal pit on the land of George Rambo, near
Western Chapel, and when discovered was al.
ready beyond control. Many hundred acres
were burnt over and such WAS tho tierceness of
the flames that green trees, with trunks ten to
twelve inches in diameter, were entirely con-
sumed. The fire extended up as far AZ Plum
creek, more than three miles from where it
started. The Chapel public school house was
destroyed, and the Chapel itself was saved with
difficulty. The losses are not yet computed. The
destruction Of fences and standing timber is
very considerable. Mr.. Rambo lost about three
hundred cords Of wood which he had prepared
for charcoal.
The drought was perhaps never so great at
this season of the year, says the Democrat, and
whatever fire reaches burns like tinder. Springs
are drying up, grass cannot grow and unless we
haye rain shortly the prospect is distressing.
