FIRE AT WILMINGTON, N. c.
Hashingion .8duertiser, (Ertra,
I,n,or,, ~ 1O1O


With heavy heart we sit down to the
task Of making brief record OF one of the
most disastrous fires with which our devot-
ed town has ever been visited.
A about two o'clock this morning the a.
larm sounded, and proved to proceed from
the store occupied by John Dawson, al the
north east corner Of The Court House. The
Court House itself vas soon on fire, ms
were also the buildings adjoining Mr.. Daw-
sons. The flames progressed thence, with
terrific fury, in an eastern and noIlherly
direction of tie square in which the FIRE o.
rignated, and in a few minutes caught the
buildings in Front street in westerly d.
reciion. The progress oil Tie fire wss then
in every direction from common centre
south, however, nothing was burnt but the
Court House. In other directions indicated
10 barriers could be enierposod until the
TWO squares Immediately north west end
north east OF the Court House were entirely
destroyed, with the exception of the Bank
of Cape Fear and Two small houses nexi
north of it, on the lCimer square, and three
brick buildings on the northwest angle OF
the latter. The whole number of buildino,
destroyed is about one hundred and liry,
including the Offices of the Advertiser and
Chronicle, the Custom House, and the Cla.
rendon and Reston's Hotels.
A great deal of goods and furniture was
got out Of the honses and stores, although
The loss OF property of these kinds is in
men9e. Many of the buildings on these
TWO squares were among the most valuable
in town, and on these two was done rro
badly three fOurlhs Of the business Of the
place. We have heard no critical estimates
Of the aggregate loss, but are inclined TO
think It VIII sum up to nearly five hundred
thousand dollars. What potion is insured
is unascerlained.

OBITUARY.

DIED, in Georgetown, D. c., after protracted
illness, Mr.. JAMES c. DUNN, leaving an aged
and disconsolate mother, and FIVE orphan children,
70 mourn his departure hence.
Mr.. Dunn, though far from enjoying health, for
many years past had nevertheless been able to give
his personal attention TO his own publications. He
had been in business in Georgetown and in this city
for man. years, and during the time, had borne
irreproachable character. During his connexion
with the printing business, he issued many valuable
newspapers and periodicals, not the least among
which was the last two he was engaged upon,--the
African Repository, and the Native American
to both causes he was devoted friend. Having
become loched.up in the chase Of the Gospel and
struck-of handsome edition, he, full bound in the
Fathhis spirit being anlocked-quit the scenes of
this troubled world TO press onward with full assur-
ance of blessed Immortality. Placid was his last
Sleep and as sweet and soft zephyrs was bis last
breath. Requiescat IN pace.

politics. Native Amerieansm is The grand,
leading feature. We have no doubt, from

be such an auxiliary TO our cause as will tell
upon the minds Of Americans generally. We
wish the undertaking every success, and
cheerfully recommend il TO Native Americans

that the Native American party is something,
and that lis numbers are not so insignificant
