late confagration. One half Of Savannah
is in ruins. We know not, and cannot I'M
dertake to enumerate the sufferers, or the
extent Of our loss. The fire originated in
the stables back of Mrs. Platt's boarding
house, and soon reached Baptist square.
The fire proof houses of Mr.. Mungin, and
the open square, stopped its progress in
that direction. The fire reached the Bay
Oh the corner Of Barnard street, sweeping
the house on the west corner, occupied by
. Col. Broom, and from thence extending
down the Bay, taking the brick building
occupied by us, with our printing estab-
lishment, the large brick auction store of
George Schley, u. S. branch bank, the
new brick auction stores on the coraer of
Bull street, Pouyafs corner, Lottery or
flee, Dickson and Co.'s store, Hunters
brick store, and Jones's wooden buildings
Oh the corner Of Habersham street, where
its progress will probably be arrested. 1t
is supposed 400 houses were burned; many
of them were partly cleared Of their con-
tents but the property was generally bur.
ned 10 the streets. 1t is presumed the loss
cannot be much If any less than two mil
lions of dollars. Many hundreds of fami-
lies are literally naked in the streets--not
even clothing was saved. Every printing
Office was burned down. For ourselves.
with the blessing of God, and tie assis-
lance OF our friends we saved a conside-
rable portion Of our type, and our most
valuable press. The auction stores in the.
city shared similar fate
The city is still 10 flames, and when il
will be got under 10 one knows. We
have every reason to believe that its pro-
gress will extend no farther.
JANUARY "a.
We we're last evening favored with the
Savannah MUSEUM Of the 18Th inst. con-
tanning the particulars Of the fire at that
place.
This paper states that the entire COM
mercial part of the town is Destroyed
There is but one solitary dry good store
remaining. The finest buildings are in
ruins. There are 80 single and trust Tor
double lots left naked; and from the best
information which the city surveyor was
enabled TO give last evening, it is calcu-
lated that there were 32l wooden build
ings, many Of which were double tene-
mems; 5 brick ditto, exclusive of those
owned by the Presbyterian Church, Mess.
Gibbons, Shad, Morrison and Hunter
which contain 80 tenements. Altogether
making not less than 450 tenements."
Five millions of dollars is supposed TO
be the loss by this calamitous fire. Hun
dreds are reduced in moment, as it we're
from opulence to poverty, and many ofthe
most respectable families are thrown on the
charity of the world.

THE JEWS.

.
Mr.. Noah, editor of the Newly ork
National Advocate, has addressed me-
mortal to the legislature, praying that the
state would authorize the sale of Grand
Island, in the Niagara river to him, for
the purpose ofbuilding city thereon, and
Inviting community Of Jewish emigrauis
to that place. The memorial cannot fail
ito excite interest, because it embraces an
object which appears to us very feasible,
and if Mr.. Noah does not deceive himself,
as to the disposition of the Jews to emf
CRATE to this country, his project may be
considered as a very splendid one. In
deed we have often wondered why the
Jews do not emigrate more frequently to
the United States; why they should suffer
from the intolerance of other governments,
when an asylum so desirable can be found
in this country. 1t must arise from their
total unacquaintance with our laws and in
situations, and this memorial will no doubt
lead TO some inquiry. There is no small
discernment evinced in this location.
Grand Island is bounded on the north by
Lake Ontario; on the south by Lake
Erie; on the west by Upper Canada; and
on the east by the state of New Y ork, aud
lies near the centre 10 Niagara river
the current, however, is somewhat rapid.
1t may contain 10000 acres. From the
vicinity of those great bodies OF water, the
air in winter derives degree of warmth /;
and the same cause also tempers and re-
freshes the heat Of sumner. Melons,
4 peaches, nectarines, and other delicate
I fruits, grow 10 the neighborhood-and its
position is excellent for city. We
know not whether the state would sell that
island. Ii is of 90 use, and is the asylum
Of gypsics and wanderers, who are des-
troying the timber. If, however, they
should deem it expedieut 10 sell, it then
will be no objection 10 sell it TO Mr.. Noah
for the object which he contemplates; be-
s cause, 10 the possession Of any other in
dividual, and for other purposes, the state
cannot realize those benefits which set
Element of Jews will produce.
The property offoreign Jews, principal
ly consists Of money and merchandise,
which can be easily moved to any coun-
try; and if few Of their great bankers
would emigrate to this state, and circulate
a few millions, they would secure good
profit, and give spur TO internal com,
merce. Besides, after all said or wrote
on this subject, this is the most preferable
country for the Jews;-Here they car
have their Jerusalem, without fearing the
lesions Of Titus; here they can erect thei'
/, temple, without dreading the torches OF en-
ragged soldiers; here they can lay thei'
, heads on their pillow, at night, without

ELIZABETH TOWN,
TUESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1920.

Ihe Missouri question has at length
been taken up, incidentally, iDthe Senate.
The friends of the extension Of slavery
have resorted to trick, disgracefnl to
their station as Members of the Senate of
the United States. When the Bill. which
passed the house of Representatives, adj
uniting the new Stale Of Maine into The
Union, was taken up in the Senate, mo-
ton was made and carried, Is to IS. to
connect with it the Missouri Question 10
its unrestricted form, thus attempting to
compel the house to yield that question, in
order 10 secure the object of the bill which
il had already passed. We feel sorry and
ashamed that a majority OF our grave sem
afors should have stopped to SO unmanly
and disingenuous anarlifice.
What will finally be The result, is yet
the subject Of various and contradictory
conjecture. New York Spectator.
J" In relation to the above mentioned vote
If the Senate, the Baltimore Morning
Chronicle thus REMARKS 1t may be
Though until We see the fact entered on
the journals of Congress, we will not be-
lieve it) that America is disposed quietly
10 surrender the high station that she oc-
cupies in the civilized world, that of being
one amongst the foremost to prevent the
further extension of an evil, acknowledged
as curse. There is a rank due 10 Ame-
RIGA, which she may herself abandon, bat
OF which all confederataa Europe would
not be able to deprive her. If the wilds
OF the western wilderness are to be open
ed for this traffic 10 the blood and bones
Of our fellow men--if where an evil can
not he totally eradicated, it must be de
manded as right If our national ships
are to be employed to search for and to
seize all those vessels under the American
flag engaged in this traffic--if Congress
themselves have authorized this strong
measure--if society is now formed Of
the most respectable characters ia the u
nlted States, for the purpose of sending
back the children of Africa to the land Of
their ancestors-if this society is under
the patronage OF the government--if after
all this, Congress are now to declare that
this slavery, thus interdicted by law and
by philanthropy, is to be tolerated in our
western wilds, we submit TO wiser heads
than ours solution Of such witch knot
Of contradictions. Consistency is what all
Legislators ought to aim at, and certainly
Congress to be consistent, must restrain a
traffic by land. which they themselves
denouuce as SO criminal by water"

incubation for the Plague
A Spanish physician, named Don
Seraphino Sofa, having obtained
permission from his government to
try experiments in inocuIating for
the plague on some Spanish desert
|ers, he selected fourteen, who were
all nloculated with virus, taken
from the plague sore of those per-
sons on whom the disorder had as
sumed the utmost degree of ma
Lightly. They each received twelve
pricks of the lancet in those parts
of the body where the plague usu-
ally appears.
Oil of olives was administered to
them Internally and externally. In
a very short period, part of those
operated upon experienced some
slight attacks, and little sores were
observable on different parts of the
body. In few days they were all
restored to health. 1t is to be
hoped that this kind of incubation
will prove as, successful as that for
the small pox.-Boston Gazette.

plan of introducing newspapers into their

CHINA.

Interesting advices have been received
from China, through Mr.. Milne, Of the.
London Missionary Society, resident
there. That extensive empire is greatly
agitated, and apparently on the eve Of rev
olution: the country is filled with secret
societies, which numerous executions
cannot put down: one hundred per month
are executed 10 the single province of
Canton. The names of some of the so
cieties are Iudicrous enough, viz White
Jackets, Red Boards, and Short Swords
A dreadful earthquake and famine lately
occurred in China, and which the super
stitious natives consider as portending the
fall of the present dynasty.
