| The memorable confagration at Rich
| mond, appears to have been but the forerun-
ner Of a chain of disasters. Ever since that
mournful era, the appalling cry of "FIRE!'
has resouuded throughout Virginia, and pro-
| claimed, in mournful accents, the ravages Of
| that destructive element in every quarter
Again we seize the pen to announce its cruel
ldevastations. On the night of the 9th inst
| that well known valuable property called
the Esser Mills, near Tappahannock, was
discovered to be on fire. The flames in
creased with such rapidity that the whole
| pile was in ashes before the least assistance
| could be had to stay their progress. This
| affecting calamity is supposed to have been
the work of an incendiary, and person,
charged with being the perpetrator is now
! in jail, bnt the evidence is not strong enough
to convict him.
| Note by the Edhor.--Tke value of these
Mills, we understand. was estimated at
s 10000; they were the property OF Lan-
renee Muse, Esq most worthy and en-
terprising gentleman, who, by the vicissi-
tudes of life had lost the greater part of an
independent fortune, and embarked the re-
mainder in these mills. Herald.
