A letter from Hilton Head says that au-
thentic news has reached that place of the
destruction Of Georgetown, South Carolina:
when the intelligence of Bra.g's dis.
comHturs reached the place. q panic seized
on the inhabitants. and it was resolved to fire
the town, and all the merchandise it con.
.'ained. Georgetown was depot for naval
stores, such As turpentine, pitch. tar, ro>in,
ect. These higly combustible materials add
ed greatly to the fierceness OF the conAagra.
ton. On Saturday. December 5th, the in
cendiary fires were ligh ted, and the e, eater
part Of the town was consumed. Georgetown
wasa station for blockade-rnnners. Among
the property destroy ed, were two hundred
bales Of cotton, in one parcel. ab ,u- to be
shipped on account Of the Confederate Gov
ernment, to Nassau, to be converted into
the sinews Of war. 1t was place of some
antiquity. 1t was built during the reign OF
George /, the fist of the Hanoverian line
of succession to the throne Of Britain. As
the first landn. place OF Lafayette, with .
French force, in the war Of the Revolution,
Georgetown had peculiar historical inter.
est. 1t had population OF about five thou.
sand inhabitants, and was place of export
for naval stores"
