About three weeks ago over 80 new long, mar

Officers had arrived and sent out men to collect

CAIRO, February 1s.
1 learn from q gentleman just arrived
from below, that the advance orUenerai
shermsn's army had reached Meridian,
about one hundred miles east Of Jackson.
The rebel General Polk who was at Merid-
ian with 10000 men, managed to
evscuate the place in time to avoid sher-
mans forces. Our forces passed on while
the rebels came up and took possession of
Jackson after our troops had left it. Sher-
man is pushing on and all that Polk can
do is to follow after. Sherman has long
and hazardous march before him and he
will probably have to subsist his large
army upon the enemies country, but it's
accomplishment will lead to the best results.

fire broke out in Sawyer's block this morn
ing. It has swept Front street on both sides en- e.
tirely, andis still raging furiously. Some eight
or ten buildings have been blown up to stop it.
The engines cannot be worked owing to the
valves 6rlng closed, and the men are used I'D.
SECOND DISPATCH.
steam hre-engine from Salem has arrived
and commenced playing on the flames About
seventy buildings have thus far been DESTROYED, /,
including the bank oi Cape Ann. The contents
Of the latter were saved. One vessel has also
been burned. The flames spread east and west,
taking everything in their path, even down TO
the water edge. The streets are full of movea-
bles, and the scene presented is one ofindescub-
able confusion. There are but four more wood
en- buildings left to burn, and it is confidently
hoped the flames will be got under control be-
fore they reach the brick blocks.
THIRD DISPATCH.
The fire is nearly subdued. Fifty stores, the
Advertiser Office, toWn-clerks office, telegraph
Office, several lawyers Offices, Free Mason 5
lodge and fifteen dwellings are burned. Forty
families are left houseless. The Post Office and
Custom House stayed the FIRE in one direction.
1t is dincult to asorertaip anything near the eT-
tent Of the losses, but they cannot fall short OF

and other insurance companies will be heavy
