Mr.. Ediior- The freedom of the press, con-
slider one of our chief blessings, In this land OF
liberty and free opinions. We have amply ex-
perieaced the benz Fl s arising therefrom, and
hope may long continue in the enjoyment Of its
privileges. Thinking, thea, as do, you may
readily suppose that consider any thing like
q censorship of the press, or any infringement
on the RICH, Of speakiug aud wiring freely cur
honest opinion, in the light OF tyrannous OPP
preston. Such an event may God remove TO
an infinite distance from our times But
would not have you suppose, either, that wish
TO carry this freedom of speech 10 licen,ious-
ness; which would be equally pernicious with
the contrary extreme. To guard, therefore, a.
gainst any evils which might arise from too
free expression OF opinion, and to prevent The
possibility of our press becoming mercenary
one; to serve as an antdote 10 the dissemina-
ton of injurious doctrines and principles; TO
reprehend the publication Of articles that might
be burtful TO the morals Of the people, by a
wholesome rigor in reviewing our national

who feels interested in promoting the welfare

AWFUL CONFEDERATION!

| With heart that can scarcely throb from
exhaustion, we sit down to record the most
awful catastrophe which has ever befalleu this
City. Having lost every thing but the mate.
rails OF our Office, we know how to sympathize
with our fellow citizens, many Of whom are ir-
relrievably ruined.
About half past two o'clock, this afternoon
| a fire was discovered in the 4th teneme nj row
| on Ellis Street, known as M'Mulen's building s
belonging to the State Bank. They were so
completely developed in fame, before means
10 extinguish the raging element could be pro
cured, that human exerlion was vain.
The wind was very high and had been so all
the day, blowing from the west in The direction
| of Broad street. The fire soon found its way
to Broad street, sweeping rapidly to the east,
till it cnveloped in fame the Make, the Thea /,
tire, and all the Intermediate houses, aud those
in The neighborhood 1t was stopped at Big
mons Brick Building, No. l46, on the South
side Of Broad street, and the Bridge Bank Build.
ing on the North side. From the last to the
river, on both sides Of Centre street, leading TO
the Bridge, and from Bignon's Brick Building,
nearly opposite the City Hotel, to Green street,
moi house that We remember, has escaped the
conhagralion.
Goods and furniture, carried into Broad-st.
were destroyed as readily as if they hat been in
the stores and houses. Not one dollar in
hundred escaped Of the value Of the articles,
tina, the owners vainly imagined they had saw
ed from their blazing dwellings.
Whilst we are writing, the raging element is
progressing eastward, and nothing but want Of
materials lo consume, seems likely 10 terminate
its progress. l, is already at The lower end of
the Town. and If single house has escaped from
the Bridge Bank ana Bignon's house, and from
Green street to the river, down 10 The lower
end OF the City, we are unable to discover il
amidst The smoke.
1t is impossible to give particulars amidst
the confusion, which is every where reigning
Many buildings are insured, and many we know
are not. Our neighbours, like ourselves, lost
every thing after they had removed them into
Broad st and what may be considered equal 10
third Of The city, has been destroyed, and that
part of il above aud in the immediate neigh.
borhood Of the market, embraced the active
retailing portion Of the grocery business.
The Bridge has been saved with grea, diff.
cuity;--lhe abutment was several times on fire.
So suffice aing is The smoke, that the lower end
of the city cannot be vi,ited-it seems 10 he
resigned to fate, which cannot be controlled.
The fire in that part is YET unexlinguished.
Since writing the above, the wind. which is
still high, has so blown off the smoke that we
are able 10 see more distinctly the scene OF the
early cooHagratlon; and we perceive standing,
