think it probable, from what we havelearn-
ed, that the total population of the State

...... We learn with much regret of the
loss by fire, on Sunday night last, of the
valuable Mills of W. j. Cureton Esq, on
the Catawba river, in this District. Four

Mill had not been in operation since Satur-
day, aud there had been no fire on the
premises for weeks. These and other cir
cumstances have given rise to the belief
that the fire was the work of an ipceudia.
