Fire at Spartanburg.


Our Spartanburg correspondent gives US the
that city last Saturday morning:
About O clock Saturday morning, the fire
bell at this place rang out. calling for aid and
assistance from our fremcn and citizens gen.
orally. The night being very cold and the
ground covered with snow few responded to
the summons with first call, but an additional
ring brosght q crowd to the scene CT the conta-
grafton. Upon arriving upon the ground we
found the whole square illuminated and the
dwelling house Of Dr. G. Lee, which stood about
25 yards from the City Hall, wrapped in n
sheet of flames. The steamer was at her post
as soon as n force sufficient to manage her ar
rived, and began 10 throw O stream of water in
about fifteen minutes, but the flames had al
ready gained such headway that it could do
nothing but keep the fire from spreading.
The night being intensely cold the water in
the valves froze, and the fire in the engine had
TO be put out. Then the little hand engine be-
gan to play, and right nobly did our colored
fire emen work. Miss Simpson, vino was board
rg Mt the Dr's house, and occupied one of the
rooms OH the second floor, was the heaviest
losor, having lost her trunk with its contents,
which consisted of ofclothing. Jewelry and some
thing over 500 in money. The house was
worth 81 800 and was fully covered by in.u-
rance.
The thermometer at this place stood at ri
all day. "CRow/. =

Confederate Government was singular
~ unsuccessful as a pecuniary venture.
Published IN q very expensive shape, 1t
found few purchasers. The elaborate care
with which it was prepared and the tre-
menuous research on which Its smallest
facts were based consumed several years.
he was compelled to ask advances from
the Messrs. Appleton while engaged in
this work, and MIR. Davis informed me
that the amount paid him for his labors
dld not exceed $500. 1t stands, however,
an unansweraOle defense OF the Southern
cause-a monument to the Southern love
OF constitutional liberty-and in this it
meets the utmost ambition OF its author.
MIR. Davis has been North only once
since the war. He went to Canada just
before his book appeared, that he might
register it there in season, and thus Sc
cure the English copyright. His trip
through the North was quiet and almost
| uneVentful, though some small indIgni-
ties were put on him. He and his family
were deeply touched by the grand Ova-
tons accorded him at Montgomery, At
lanta, Savannah, ETC., last spring, and
assured him if be came to Richmond at
the laying OF the corner stone of the Lee
monument next month, and would ex-
tend his visit TO Baltimore, our citizens
would give him a warm welcome. He
Will not promise what he will do, In view
of his declining years and uncertain
health, but said, "There are no places l
would rather visit than Richmond and
Baltimore"
Mr.. Davis is by no means wealthy
man. His plantations yield him but lit
| tie income, and the indications are that
the great Confederate leader is poorer
| now than he has ever been before.
Steps were once taken TO raise fund for
him, but he kindly but firmly averted the
hands of those engaged in it as soon as be
became aware of what was being done.
He held that as long as the widows and
orphans OF Confederate soldiers were in
| want, he had neither the right nor the
wish to take one dollar from the bounty
that ought TO find its way to them.
He has preferred to live in retirement.
| In nothing he has done or said has he
lowered in the slightest degree the dig
nifty of his high position. Accepting the
reverses OF life with planning torti-
tude, he has held his convictions un-
| changed and unmodifed. In defeat, as
in victory, his great nature and his gol-
den heart have been equal to all demands.
In peace or in war be stands the uncbal-
lenged and beloved chief among his peo-
| pie. j. 7. S.
