far from the seashore, and has reached the
Wilson estate lands, on the Waccamaw,
SIX miles above Conwayboro, having
burned over q distance of nearly twenty
miles. The average breadth of the fire is
unknown. The country through which it
passed Is literally burned up. Bay after
bay and swamp after swamp have been
made bare of all underground, and the
trees and timber completely destroyed.
| The savannAhs, with the turpentine boxes
| are made sterile wastes. The hot, dry
weather rendered it impossible to CHECK
the onward march of the flames. II wal
yet burning on Saturday. Twenty thous
and turpen,ine boxes have been burned
The earth is left bare behind this fire, tn
cattle range destroyed for the season, th
deer unsheltered, and the bears and rattle
snakes made to seek new hiding place o

over one hundred thousand acres of Ian
