DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA.
GREAT LOSS OF LIFE!

Philadelphia was visited on the afternoon and
evening Of the 9th, with the most destructive con-
fsgrssion which has ever ragged within her limits.
The fire originated about ~, p M In store
on the east side Of Water street, below Vine.
About half an hour after II broke out, 1t reached
large quantity Of sslfpetre, when most terri
Bile explosion took place, which communicated the
flames TO some twenty or thirty buildings, and
killed and wounded great number Of persons
some being 20 charred and injured that It was
impossible 10 recognise them. Probably about q
dozen people were killed on the spot, and forty
hfy others seriously injured. This explosion
naturally paraiy1ed the hremeu Tor time, which
Was another cause Of the FIRE obtaining such head
way.
About II o'clock. p. M, the fremen, by the
most heroic and pcrsevering e6crts, succeeded In
arresting the further advances " the flames.
The burnt district then comprised the space In
cudsd between Callovhill street on the north,
New street (Arst below vine) On the south,
Second street on the west, and the Delaware riv-
Or on the sast-oOaprsing some fear squares, or
twelve smaller blocks Of hssscs, p which there

J.ne 20 For few days past some of our inhsbit-
ants have been alarmed by reports of difficulties
with the Indians; and although there is, in my opin
ion. no ground for apprehension, yet reports of
this nature grow 80 rapidly in travelling East
that il is Of some Importance TO have them ac-
companied by simple statement of the facts.
The circumstances, as | have them, are these
A tavern keeper at Sank Rapids, by the name of
Potter, had been selling liquor TO the Indians,
although this is strictly prohibited by law. Last
Sunday, a negro purchased Of Mr.. Potter two
quarts Of whiskey, and carried it away he after
wards returned and purchased more. There is
no doubt that he sold it to the Winnebagoes,
from the fact that about thirty Of them soon came
to Potters, in q state Of intoxication, and de-
handed more whiskey. This being refused, a
fight soon followed, in which several of the In
dams who were in the house were put out, and the
door fastened. The Indians then attacked the
house, and Potter fred on them from the inside
several times, killing one Indian and mortally
woundipg another. Two white men, who by &C.
cident were shut out OF the house with the In
dams came near being killed by them One of
them had his left arm and hand badly broken,
srd his other haalv wounded With big
UlOu nOs.,A,
but none of them very severe Potter and the
wounded men took a canoe, about shutdown, and
arrived at this place early in the forenoon of the
next day, having come distance Of ninety five
miles. The Indians are very much exasperated
against Potter, and will undoubtedly shoot him
on the first opportunity. But there is no danger
TO any others The whole affair is the effect of
whiskey which Potter furnished, we'll knowing
that it would 60 to the Indians, as that is very
common way for them to obtain it. Many of our
citizens are disposed to leave Potter and the In
dams to settle the difficulty between themselves.
Yet Potter has his friends, and volunteer COM
pany of fifty or sixty has been raised in ST. Paul,
who are now on their way to Sank Rapids but
there is very little probability of fight with the
Indians.
The steamer Anthony Wayne was here at the
Falls on Thursday last, with a pleasure party
from st. Louis. Two other boats are expected
on the Fourth Of July. There are seven boats
that make their trips regularly to St Paul, and
all seem to be doing good business lmmigra-
ton is increasing
Should there be any further trouble between
the Indians and the whiskey traders, will keep
you advised Of it. Yours, truly.
