DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF THE KAOLIN WORKS. —

On Thursday night fire was discovered issuing from the engine room of the Southern Porce­lain Factory, situated at Kaolin, six miles from Hamburg, S. C., in Edgefield District. All the assistance at hand was unable to check the flames which rapidly spreading destroyed, with a trifling exception the entire works.

This is a most serious and public calamity, but we hope soon to chronicle its successful ope­ration again. The loss is estimated at $200,000 with an insurance of $25,000.
