dreadful calamity by FIRE, which visit
ed our City yesterday, (spnday,) Near
~ one half the City is a mascot ashes
and burning ruins.
About niue o'clock yesterday morning,
| the fire broke out in a servants room con
nected with the Washington Hotel and
was only arrested atsthe Planters Bank,
on Main Street, consuming every thing in
IFS course. The buildibgs were atwood,
very dry, and the wind blowing consider
ably made the flames spread with great
rapi1iiy.
Oar office was about the fourth house
| burnt, and our materials being in the Sc.
coma story, we were unable to save bat a
portion Of them. Our Press, part Of
oGr type and a great number of notes, &C
counts &c, shared the common fate Of
every thing else around it.
The principle sufferers and the chief
buildings burnt, SO far as we can aseer-
tain in the present conlusoe, are as fol
! lows. The. two principle squares on eli
her side Of Jefferson Street are entirely
destroyed The Washington Hotel was
the. first building destroyed, the Drug
