' SIn—Being afllicted with a venerial taint for

resigned as incurable, tormented with pains, in

Having suffered with others in the late calam-
ity, we have made haste to collect the remains of
our printing materials, and now present to the
public the circumstances which accompanied this
event. Injthe whole course of our editorial ca-
reer we lxave frequently had to record matters of
deep importance, of various nature; but never,
no never before it has fallen to our lot to give to
the world an account of so distressing a com-
plexion. . H 2 . _
On Tuesday the 11th inst. thisjcityexhibited
a scene ofdesolation and (list-ress, probablylmore
awfully calamitous than any, previously experi-
enced in America. _
Between one and two o’clock in" the morning,
alivcry stable, belonging to a Mr. Boon, on a
trust lot ofthe estate of Isaac Fell, in Baptist
church square, was discovered _to be on fire. The
er with the officers and crews of the vessels in the
harbor, were soon convened, but, unfortunately,
no immediate and decisive measures were adopt-
ed by which the fire could be stopped at its be-
ginning. ._
The season for four months (_with the excep.
tion of two rains) previous to this incident, had
been dry ; the night was cold, and a brisk breeze
from W’. N. VV. which was soon increased by
the effect of the fire. Several ofthe adjoining
houses were soon affected and almost. instantly in
flames. The wind now became strong and whirl.
ed into the air, with agitated vinlencq,g_large_
flakes of burning shingles, boards, and othiiirligltt
substances, which, alighting at adistance, addeifd’
confusion to the other terrors of the c'on_flzigra-
tion. The use of water was now rentlered total-
ly vain, its common c-xtinguishing power seem-
ed to be lost—torrents offlames rolled from house
to house, with a destructive rapidity which
defiance to all human control; and individual ev
ertions were from this time almost suspende
and principally pointed towards the securing pri-
vate property.
The fire now raged, sweeping all the buildings
from Baptist Church square, to the VVest, taking
in from the north side of Broughton street to the
bay,down to Abercorn street on the east—save. a
few buildings on the bay between Montgomery
and Jefferson streets. That large and elegant
building VVashington Hall is safe; twice was it
on fire, but through great exertions it was rescu-
ed. A few buildings are also saved l)€l.WL€D Ab-
ercorn and Drayton streets. The State Bank,
the Planter’s Bank, and the Episcopal Church
were for some time in eminent danger, but were
saved. The former building was on fire two or
three times-—timcly assistance and tun‘emit'.e(l
exertions alone saved it. ‘ .
Between twelve and one o’clock, the rage of
the fire was arrested. The cxliausted_suffciers,
of both sexes, had now to remain expost-cl to the
inclemcncy of a cold day, and to witness the dis-
tressing spcctaclc of their numerous dwellings.
covered with volumes of smoke and flame, tum-
bling into ruins. Yes I the best part of Smart-
nah is no more 1 The flames have prostrateti all
the buildings which were the pride ofour city I
Thus was the emporium of our state, which was
promising a considerable figure among the com-
mercial cities of our sisters states, almost destroy-
cd in twelve hours; The commercial part of
thetown is a heap of ruins! There is but one
solitary dry good store remaining. All, all are
gone I
VVe have taken considerable pains to ascertain
the number of buildings burnt : and the probable
amount of property destroyed by this dreadful
catastrophe. '
There are ninety-four lots stripped complete-
ly ; and it is calculated that there are three hun-
which were double tenements, thirty-five brick
do. exclusive of those owned by the Presbyteriati
church, by Messrs. Gibbons, Shad, Morrison,
Johnston and Hunter, which contained thirty ten-
ements. Altogether, making not less than 463
tenements, not including out-buildings 1 Thirty
years must elapse before Savannah will be again
what she has been.
In fact every house is swept away from the
spot where the fire commenced, through l\-Iarkct:
square, and the bay from \Vashing1on Hall, to the
house lately occupied by George Jones Esq. (ex-
cept James Dickson and Co’s large fire proof
store.) It, and it alone is the only building re-
maining between the two points named. VVc are
really at a loss how to describe the damage done.
to words strong enough-to do this melancholy
subject justice. To those at a distance, we can
only say to them-—come, and look at our poor,
devoted, and ruined Savannah.
It is thought by many iudividu-a'ls that the fire
would have been arrested in Market square, had
it not been for the circumstance of a large quan-
tity of gun powder being in some of the shops
in the square. This struck a panic in every one,
and that part of the town was abandoned. Ex-
plosions soon took place, and the blazing frag-
ments scatteredjin every direction 1 A good deal
of powder, however, was taken away and thro\\-'n
into a well in St. James’ square. "We hope the
police will enforce the ordinance against every
person who had, or may have gunpowder in their
stores. Had the explosion taken place before no-
tice was given, God only knows how many lives
would have been lost. Oil‘énders ought to be
punished. By this violation of the law, a million
of dollars have been destroyed.
The probable amount of property destroyed by
this unfortunate occurrence, is from a calculation
nicely made, upwards of four millions of dollars!
But if we takéinto consideration the stoppage of
business, and every direct and indirect loss, ten
millions will not be too great an estimate.
We undcrtand that two persons lost their lives
and as many injured in rendering assistance du-
ring the fire. We have learnt of no further ac-
cident.
The Council have judiciously directed the
citizens, and different engine companies, togeth- . »
