/ ticuIars Over One Hundred Bald
ings Destroyed.
From The Savannah Republican Of Jan. - 1865
! The scene presented this morning at the ruins
OF the terrible confagration Of last night o
great misery and desOlaton. Although the progress
i the devouring element had been stayed the iremeI
were still busly engaged in playing upon the fire.
! When We consider the place where the fire origi
mated and the extreme danger to life and limb to which
all exposed who took part in staying its progress
it seems surprising that the confagratlon was not much
more extensive That any portion Of the city pre-
served is due 10 tho heroic and weldrected efforts Of
the Federal soldiers.
