A letter received ~ gentleman OF
this town. from his brother in Savannah,
with peru,al oi which We have been "a
vouIed, communicates the following par
ticu.rs, relating to the distressing fire,
which on the lth inst. laid large por-
ton OF that city in ashes.
Saoannah. January III, 1920.
1t is IN state oi utter distraction that
we attempt to describe the horrors Of The
late conAagralion. One half OF Savan-
nah is in runs We know not, and
cannot undertake to enumerate the suf-
ierers, or the extent of our loss. The
fire originated in the stables back of Mrs
Phtt's boarding house, and soun reach
ed Baptist square. The fre-proof hous-
es Of Mr.. Mangin 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 oc-
cupied by us, with our printing estab-
llshnent, the large brick auction store OF
George Schley, u. S. Branch Bank, the

OF Bull.st. Pouyat's corner, Lottery-ot-

where its progress will probably be ar.
rested. From the Bay i, extnded o

MINERAL SPRING.


A new Mineral Spring has Just been
disco' cred at WilIiamsyille. ORANGE
Township, iii this county, on the land
of MIR. John ilIiams. 1t is situated
at the foot of the first Newark Noun
tain, two miles north of the Orange
Meeting house, half a mile from the
plantation of Amos Harrison, ESQ. and
a mile from the late residence of Dr..
John Condit. The water has not vet
been Thoroughly annalized; but from
tie experiments which have been made
there IS the best reason to believe that
is more strongly imprrgnated with
mineral substance, than those of SchoQl
ley's Mountain. The Spring has al
ready been visited by many persons
who have drank of the water, and sup i
pose it TO partake largely of mineral
qualities. a thorough analysis Of thaI
water will soon be made, and the result
of the experiments laid before the pub !
lie. Should expectation be realized,
the proximity Of this Spring to the city
Of New York, and the pleasant part o9
the country in which it is situated, wiz
no doubt render it place of general rel
sort, in which pleasure and advantage
will be combined. We are requested
to say. that invaIids wishing to spend q
faw days at the Spring, can be accom-
IN. ia ed with board in the neighbOr-
hood.

specis public opinion. will remain exactly
where il is. The partisans of the queen
will discredit all the reservations of the ac-
cusers, whilst her adversaries will equally
disregard all the evidence in her defence.
In this way, the whole dispute, though
simply question offact. will serve only to
exasperate the fury of contending parties,
with scarcely any chance of producing con-
viction on either side.
