Destructive Fire at Columbia,
Correspondence of the Daily News.


COLUMBIA, June II, 1850
DEAR Sir Our town was visited last night
by most terrific confagration. 1t originated
about 10 O'Clock in large frame house, on the
west side of the Columbia Railroad, occupied
by number Of Irish and German families, and
owing to the combustible nature of the houses
and cooper shop adjoining, the flames spread
with fearful rapidity, and soon another frame
dwelling on the south was completely enveoped
IN sheet of fire. The Green Tree Hotel kept
by Mr.. E. A. Howard, and a large warehouse,
owned by MIR. N. Evans, and occupied by F. s.
Bentz Esq, on the south, were also burned to
the ground, whilst on the north, large building
opposite the Washington Hotel, in which various
branches Of business were carried on, was com
pletely destroyed. Among other things the Of
hce OF the Columbia Spy, which was in the last
mentioned building, was burned to the ground
After the fire had ragged for some time, the lum-
Der piles took fire, and all the lumber between
Locust and Walnut streets, with the exception
of one or two piles, was burned to the ground
The bridge was discovered to be on fire at one
time, but owing TO the energy of Mr. VIM.
McConky, the Collector Of the Tide-water Ca
nal Company, there was no material injury done
to 1t. A chimney in one of the houses fell down
during the raging Of the flames, and struck a
man by the name of Augustus Myers crushing
his skull and face in most shocking manner.
He died in about an hour afterwards The loss
IN all is estimated at about $4,000 F.w.J.

Judge Johnston, the Wing candidate for
Governor in Ohio, opens the campaign by
declaring himself in favor of the immedi-
ate and untrammelled admission of Cali
fornia into the Union, and against the
compromise bill. He is in favor of the
application of the Jeffersonian Proviso TO
the territories and in case that cannot
pass, then he adopts the Presidents plan,
as by far the best of those submitted to
Congress.

POPULATION OF THE MIAMI COUNTRY.
The Secretary of State in Ohio, in his es-
timate of the population of the State, sets
down fifteen counties in the Miami coun-
try as having increased .Jorty-three per
cent. ia the last ten years. The first set
dement, of the Miami country was made
but little more than sixty years since.
The above counties comprehend, in round
numbers, $500 square miles, and contain
about a half million of people This
is density Of u to square mile much
more than that Of the State of New \ ork,
which is but Sc to square mile. This

i've years, million of inhabitants.
