THE GOVERNMENT AND THE
ENGLISH QUESTION.

Wdstington, Dec. 14.-Letters from the South
intercepted by the government, state that two
agents of the rebel government, 10 proceed TO
England and France have been appointed, and
are to reach their destination by way Of Tam
pico. One was stated 10 be Beverly Tucker,
Buchanan's defaulting Consul TO Liverpool.
A member of the Court martial that tried
johnson says that il came out on the trial that
there are five or six other soldiers in General
Franklin's Division who enlisted for the purpose
of esertion to the rebels and who are connected
with female spies in Washington.
Thare are sill nearly fifty soldiers in custody
who have been convicted of offences, the punish-
ment Of which, by the articles Of war, is death.
They are mostly cases Of sleeping on post. Tneir
fate is undecided.

That part oi tho city which is already known
10 DO consumed contained far moro Of value
than all that remained. The most fashionable
part, where tho richest planters and merchants
had their city residences, along tho lower OK
trumity, down TO Ashley river, the public build
ings, including the custom house, court house,
and all the municipal offices, as well as the thsa-
tire, the market and the best hotels, tho cannon
foundry, and hundreds Of large mercantile es-
tablishments, all are smouldcring In red heap
Of Goals and ashes. The most exten-
sive boundaries givon TO the conhagration
probably fall short Of the real facts. Without
doubt the whole lower part Of tho city must DO
consumed, as Broad street furnished the only
impediment Of consequence, and such was the
magnitude Of the conhagation even in Its COM
paratively incipient stages, that the fire had
crossed il and was rapidly proceeding toward
both the Ashley and Cooper rivers. So large
fire necessarily creates high wind in It's Inn
mediate vicinity, and thus fans itself Into great
or magnitude. Much of the city is built Of
wood. King street was the principal avenue Of
fashion and resort, as well as of retail trade,
although Its buildings we're not OF much pro-
tension, and would compare better with our
Bowory than Broadway. Broad street wns the
Park row Of Charleston, on which were situated
the offices Of tho Charleston MERCURY and
COURIER tho SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADyo-
CATE, and Book Depository, Insurance offices,
and number Of banks, beside a great mary
large wholesale dry goods and other mercantile
houses. East Bay street was the resort OF cotton
factors and the principal commission and tran,
sportation merchants of the city. Meeting st.
was next to King, and perhsps next to II in Inn
p0rtAnce. Many largo public institutions were
situated upon Il, and IL was a famed place Of
general resort. The Mills House, Charleston
Hotel, Institute Hall, the theatre, and market
were not Ear apart In this street, and Of course
shared the general fate. The large wharfs, some
thirty Of which projected into the Coopsr river,
were also destroyed, with the buildings and
stores upon them. OF provisions we have the
best authority for concluding that at least two
thirds Of all in the city were stored upon tho
d, solated region. Many of the short streets,
such as Atlantic, Cumberland, Stolls alley,
and o hers crossing tho principal marts, were
built high on zach side With houses OF merchan-
ate aud storage. 1t is perfectly impossible to
give anything like correct list Of iho msrcan.
