The death of Bill Poole, the pugilist, yesterday
morning, created sensation, not only among his
personal friends but thousands who never saw him,
all over the city, and the feeling engendered against
Morrissey and his murderous gang may yet lead to
further bloodshed 1t is said Poole died very pen

request was that he might be buried in his best SUIT

and also that his deceased child buried in Greenwood
Cemetery, should be dsinterred and placed upon his
breast in the vault He leaves wife and young
son. He was a native of New Jersey, 50 years OF
age, and butcher by trade. His funeral takes place

Destructive Fire.

leaves, grass, trees fences and houses, fast

load OF wood IN his wagon, was so hard pressed that
he had 10 take his horses out and fly for life, leaving
the wagon and wood TO be consumed.
The large summer residence OF Mrs. Huske Sen,
and negro house, and large quantity of forage,
about miles from town, entirely destroyed
The commodious Summer residence Of John w. Sand

houses, fences, &c, were destroyed. There re-
ports ofthe destruction of other houses, but none that
rely on. The residence of Join D. Eccles,
Esq, Of DR.. VIM. p. NIalIet, of VIM. S. Malle Esq
were saved with great difficulty.
We understand that the fire extended from Moore
county TO and beyond this place, say 80 or 40 miles,
and about 80 miles down the river. The loss of
wood of fences and of turpenne boxes, is very hea

Were blown the roads, and on the Warsaw road
the stage did not get here Saturday till II hours
after due The telegraph posts and wires of course
suffered by both wind and fire.
LATER.-We regret to learn that the dwelling,

Davis, who was i'll, was saved with difficulty.
Also, that several houses were destroyed in Moore
county, some of them beyond Carthage And that
in the opposite direction houses were burnt between
Clinton and Warsaw, showing an extent of the fires
heard from of about 100 miles. We have no par
ticulars of these last fires except that the house Of
MIR Craven, between Carthage and Bear creek, is
among those stated TO have been burnt.
We have seen letter from Mr.. Davis, which
says
