At the hour OF mi might of Thursday night last
We were alarmed by the cry of Fire which pro-

flames continued to rage until the following proper

shop, dwelling house. kitchen &e the building occu-
pied by John Mcclellan, Esq.
This dreadful destruction of property was the
work Of come fiend of He'll. AN attempt was made
TO fire the New Court House, but the exer tons OF
single person, a slave, saved it. Capt. F. Smith
VINO was early on the spot, first discovered the Fl e

had arisen to the height of n mans head he wa
about to abandon the building, when MIR. William
Trigg's yellow man JOE ran in, caught up in his
arms the combustibes ON fire, threw them into the
street and saved the bui e. Ills was done at the.
hazard of his life. 4, the Court HtrIse had been
consumed, we apprehend no, building in the wes-

Citizens are about tn reward JOE by presenting
him with sum of money. Political Itos6ect.
On Sunday asst Capt. SpotswoOd Hsnry marched
from this place, for Phlldelphia, with full
