Affairs In Charleston. CuASLKSToe, April 15.—Commodore String- ham arrived at the fleet this afternoon, and wss sainted by the war vasaels there. It is reportsd that there are seven war ves sels in the offing st this time. Mai. Anderson and his command were trans ferred from the Isabel to the Baltio, outside. An English vessel, which arrived here to day, asked an officer of the fleet outside if they were blockading the port. The reply was, “No, we are awaiting orders.” It is probable that Commodore Siringham brings the order*. The city is quiet, and troops continue to reach here by hundreds. FIRE 1 Last night about 9 o’clock, the brick build ing on the South-East corner of Whitehall and Mitchell streets, was discovered to be on fire. It‘had evidently been burnings considerable time when seen; for shortly after, the whole roof was enveloped in flames. Our brave and efficient Fire Companies were soon on the spot, and never did we see such signal service ren* dered by Firemen any where. Very soon they had copious streams of water pouring all over the building; and though it was feared the firo would spread to the adjoining frame tenement*, yet the vigorous and untiring energy of the Firemen toon had the firey element under con trol, and prevented its spreading. The basement story of the building was oc cupied as a grocery store by Mr. D. P. Fergu son. He saved a number of barrels of flour, and some bacon; but we understand his loss is considerable, and tbat he has no insurance. One part of the main floor was occupied by James L. Johnson as a harness shop, and the remaining portion by J. N. Williams, auotion eer. We were informed their losses are con siderable, and that they have no insurance. The house is owned by Mr. McArthur. We are informed that he is insured. The police regulations about the fire were n good. There is large room for improvement this respect, and wa hope our city Fathers will take this matter in hand and remedy the evils we saw existing last night. We have seen fires in various cities, but we say, truthfully, that we never saw so efficient a Fire Department as this city can boast of— except where they have steam fire engines.— Their conflict with the flames last night was a hand to hand fight with the raging ele ment. Their courage, order, good judgment and effectiveness was triumphant beyond any thing we ever saw at a fire. ^^^The “Savannah Republican " of yes terday, has the following telegram from Char- ton : Charlrstov, April 15th, 11 o’clock, i. M.— Heavy cannonading is heard to your direction, and great excitement exists bera in conse quence. The fleet is still off the bar. The oditor states that the Georgia Naval Steamer &ivannaA, Capt. Kell, on entering St. Simons Sound, Saturday Morning, discovered two Steamers off the bar of that place. One was supposed to be the Harriet Lane, and the other one of tke vessels purchased by the Gov ernmentjust before tue Paraguay expedition! The editor further remarks that as no effort had been made to attack Savannah, it was not inprobable that Lincoln's fleet had attempted a lauding at Stonoor Beaufort, South Carolina. The fleet contains soma 2,800 men, including several batteries of Flying Artillery, and two or three companies of Horse. We should not be surprised if such an attempt were made. Commodore Strighara, who commands the fleet arrived thereat off Charleston two days ago, with fresh orders from Lincoln. Let us all be ready! Grand Jur> Room, Atlanta, April 16, 1861.
