The Fire on Monday Night.

fire broke out in the lumber yard of Alex Mitchell
Esq, Craven street, Monday night last, just be-
fore o'clock The lot was full of lumber, shingles and
other combustibe material and there being quantity
of powder stored in warehouse on the lot the news of
which spread rapidly through the crowd which collected
it was impossible to make any effective efforts to subdue
the flames until after the powder had exploded and when
the fright subdued and the crowd collected around
the raging flames the fire had got such headway to
prevent the possibility of arresng it until the large
warehouse the next lot entirely consumed. The
warehouse being the Progress building, the kitchen
in the caught and entirely consumed together
with the fences and the passage leading from the house
to the kitchen. The Progress building was on fire
several times and it only by the almost superhuman
exertions Of gentlemen who remained in the building,
applying water all the time that the building was saved.
AS the windows burned and broken and the
house being flooded with water the pasterng is nearly
entirely ruined But for the extraordinary exertons
made to arrest the ames the whole block in which the
Progress Office is located would have been consumed,
and how much further it would have gone it is impossi
BILE for us to tell. |-.-
The editor Of this paper had just fitted up the End and
3rd stories,-above the ofice-for residence and it
becoming necessary to the furniture and also the
printing materials, his loss is serious apart from that
sustained on the building The entire loss to him is not
less than 81 800 to 2OO0 which is partially covered by
insurance.
Messrs Mitchell & Son estimate their loss at 50 500,
on which there was no insurance.
We are not apprized as to what Mr.. Geo. F. Fishers
loss is, but we suppose from $4OO to 5000.

Of all talk. We all begin and end, nowadays,
with the same s.rain. What will these despc-
rate Scccssionists accomplish! Ny answer is
"a considerable arrangement Of business and
trade at the North, very general commercial
ruin at the South, and-their own political de-
struction. "You, then, persist in believing
the Cotton States will not 90 out9" My good

5ecctsionfsts intend to do their utmost to des-
troy this Government do not doubt, and !
never have doubted, that their reasonable at
tempt will be failure. Their rebellion will
not succeed. The laws will be enforced. The
Constitution and the Union will be maintain
ed in their integrity. The PEOPLE will tolerate
nothing less. Woe to their representatives
who falter in this crisis of Threatened rebellion
aud revolution expect to see Conventions
In five, six OF eight extreme Southern States
declaring their allegiance to the National Gov
erumeut at m end. ! expect that, in every
one Of those States, the authority OF that Gov
ernmcut will either be practically recognized,
or else enforced, ii resisted. do not believe
my orert ae& will be pcrpetrated By these who
have SO long talked treason. In year or two,
all these States will probably return to their
allegiance. So the present "crisis" will end
