Norfolk and Richmond papers give full
particulars of the extensive confagration at
Charleston The fire broke out about o clock
in the evening of the llth, in Russell & ODDS
sash and blind factory at the foot of Hazel street,
extending to the machine shop of Cameron &
Co. Before midnight the fire had assumed an
appalling magnitude, and Meeting street, from
Marketto Queen, was one mass OF flames. As
tenement alter tenement was enyeloped in
flames, the panic became awful, a1d thousands
OF families evacuated their houses and filled
the streets. The buildings in the lower part
OF the city where the fire broke out were
principally of wood and extremely inhamable,
which accounts ior the remarkably rapid pro
gress of the fire. AT midnight the circular
church, and institute were burning, and the
proximity OF the flames to the Charleston Ho.
tel and Mills House, caused them TO be vacated
by their inmates
At o'clock the fire tended more southwark
toward the corner of Archdale and Queen
streets, to the rear of the Charleston Hotel and
to the end Of Hayne street. Crossing Market
street. it spread down East Bay to Cumbsr-
land street, and across to the Mills House, in
cludng in the destruction tile circular church,
Institute Hall, and Charleston Hotel, and all
the buildings on King strest, from Clifford
nearly 10 DroadWay, were destroyed before
o'clock. Gen. Ripley, who superiutended the
troops who arrived on the scene about this
J time, ordered several buildings to be blown
up. After some delay the order was executed,
but not before the theater, Lloyd's coach fac.
tory opposite the express office, and all the
houses from this point to Queen street, caught
fire and were destroyed AT about 4 O'Clock
the wind changed the direction of the flames
toward Broad street. Soon after St. Andrews
Hall took fire, and subsequently the cathedral,
the spire falling soon after 5 o'clock The fire
made clean sweep through the city, making
its track from East Bay to King street.
The Charleston Courier OF the 18th, gives a
list of between two and three hundred suffer
ers, and says the loss is estimated at from five
to seven million dollars. Mr.. Russell, at whose
factory the fire originated, thinks it must have
been an incendiary, or by the negligence Of
negroes employed there. A despatch from
Charleston dated 13th says that the Mills
House, although threatened and several times
on fire, eventually escaped, and is onlyslightly
damaged.

ped, with knapsacks on, and ready to march
to their encampments. After marching down
and back in front of their line, we escorted
them, as follows first to the Massachusetts
twenty-seventh, who were all out in line, and
presented arms as we passed, thus welcoming
to our division our Massachusetts brothers in
arms thence to the Massachusetts twenty
third, who were also in line to receive us.
Thus 5000 men, in full uniform, armed and
equipped, turned out to receive and welcome
the Massachusetts twenty fourth TO our brig
ade as the fifth regiment. In the course of our
march we passed in front OF the New York
ffty-frst and the Connecticut eighth and tenth
camps, all of whom turned out to see another
Massachusetts regiment, and the roads were
lined with negroes, with happy faces, and in
Sunday clothes, seemingly having jubilee.
But what was tun TO them was work for u.s..
We marched for three hours, and over six
miles, reaching our quarters a little past noon,
tired and dusty regiment, with good appe-
tites for dinner Then came religious service
at one o'clock, at two O'Clock guard mounting,
and at 4t dress parade, ending cur duties for
this Sunday.
We continue to receive with much pleasure
papers and letters from our friends, and our
city papers give us the information that you
can throw large vote at city election, if
more than thousand of us are away. There
is salt enough left to save the city, and we no.
tce that Ward Seven is all right without the
help of your correspondent. After hearing of
the uniairncss at the first caucus, there was
much rejoicing in our camp at the result
On dress parade, tonight, an order was read

twenty fourth to our brigade, so it now con-

ENGLAND AND WAR.-We are not yet ready
to believe that the second thought of the
queens government will be SO warlike as was
its first, if the reports of the first which have
reached us can be depended upon. For it
seems then 10 have been everywhere believed
that Capt. Wilkes acted by the orders OF our
cabinet and, also, that one object was to in.
suit the British flag When these false
hoods have been made manifest, all action
based on them must be suspended. 1t is
our misfortune that the statements of
the officers of the Trent should have received
some sort of support from the words of the
garrulous Scott, if he has been correctly re.
ported. 1t is not, however, pleasant con-
sideration, that there should have been such
haste on the part of the English ministers in
drawing the worst conclusions which the
worst statement of the case seemed to justify !;
and if definite action was then determined
upon, such action will be in the way OF that
calm and large view OF the international
questions involved which their own importance
required, and especially required when the
fearful issue of peace or war may be depend
ing This haste was not friendly.
In regard to the questions of law involved.
we all need light We ought and we doubt
not shall soon have, the impartial Judgment
of others OF our ablest statesmen. Let us
dispassionately consider whatever may be pre-
sented, come from what quarter it may; and
brayely acquiesce in the conclusions SO reach
ed. II it appear that the seizure of Mason
and Slidel was in accordance with interna
tional law, ,0e shall hold them if not, giv,
them up. Either conclusion, with its cor
responding action, will be worthy of
great people, and powerfully aid in up
holding a national character, which will
be of infinitely more value than any tri
umphs won in other ways. Let us also re
member, that, as the greatest neutral power
on the earth, we are deeply concerned in hav
ing all the rights of neutral vessels sacredly
respected We must be above suspicion in
our care for these rights. And above all VIC
will not forget that statesmen of unouestioned
ability and patriotism are to speak and act 70,
us-men properly impressed with the dreat
responsibilities resting upon them; and W,
may well wait in hope and serenity for what
ever the future may have to reveal. r.

Sunday, Dec. Is, 1861
When | last wrote one.tenth part of our
regiment were on guard duty in the city, but
we are all together again, and have been for
the past week drilled under General Foster,
in our brigade drill, in the forenoon, from 8
till l25 o'clock and in the afternoon have
been practising target shooting, with very good
success, each company by itseIf-compauy y
averaging one ball in two in the target, at two
hundred yards, firing by con pany, or, rather,
by file, front and rear rank firing at the same
time. The size of the target is about two feet
by five. Thus passed the week, till yesterday
morning, when it was announced to us that all
the regiments here, numbering eleven, were
to pass in review, all on one field, before Gen.
Foster and staff. 1t was grand and very i'm
posing scene, as fifteen or twenty gentlemen
from Worcester will bear witness, when they
return, they having arrived here just in time
to be present There was a giment of cav
airy, which with the infantry, numbered over
eleven thousand men, all moving at once.
Our colonel, who is not behind the best of them
in military science said TO us that he would
put us against any regiment in the field. We
have fears that we shall lose him. as it has
been hiIted that he is to be made brigadier
general, aad TO take charge of one Of the
brigades under Burnside. Lieut.. Col Sprague
Notwithstanding his accident, is on duty
haying his hoster walk beside him when he

sons Of New England, and descendants of the
Puritans, have been taught TO obey the Scrip
ture injunction, or rather commandment "Six
days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, and

TnE Prisoners AT RICHMOND The
friends OF Lieut. Greene of the fifteenth reg

at Richmond, December 9th, in which he
writes, among other things, of The condition

says OF his cwn men will doubtless apply to all,
whose wants the generous and humane people
of Worcester county should not leave unsup.
piled. Blankets and clothing of various kinds
have been sent to some of the prisoners and
have arrived safely and there is little risk OF
loss if the goods are properly packed and di-
rected. The letter says
"The twenty,four men of my company need
such things more than do, and l hope that
something has been done already towards sup
plying them. They, of course, have not much
money, and are confined in large ware room
without fire, unless that has been supplied
them within few days. They are furnished
with coarse cotton enough to make narrow
bed for each man, and straw to fill them with,
and with a thin cotton comforter each. The
weather for few days has been quite severe,
so that The snow, of which there was slight
fall few days ago, hardly melts in the sun at
noon. A splendid supply arrived yesterday
for the Fltchburg company, and you have no
idea how delighted they were with it."
The following letter upon the same subject,
from Captain Studley, has also been furnished
for publication -
