[from SAVANNAH EVE. JOURNAL’ APRIL ll.[
Disastrous Fire. *
$300,000 WORTH OF PROPERTY* DESTROYED.
One Ship totally destroyed, “another parti
ally—Lamar's Cotton Sheds—between
5,000, and 6,000 bales of Cotton, and a
valuable}Horse\consvmed.
About 3 o’clock yesterday morning, the
watchman at the Cotton Press of Mr. C. A.
L. Lamar, discovered {flames issuing from
some Cotton bales lying in the yard, and
subsequently, as one report says, the flames
burst out from various parts of the premi
ses,^ immediately spreading to an extent
that could not be controlled. Another
statement is, that the fire originated in the
engine room, where it had probably been
left. Hence, we are not confident as to
whether the fire was the result of accident
or incendiary ism. The two cotton sheds, j
however, were in flames in an incredible
short time, and every thing destroyed.
There were in the two cotton sheds about
4,000 bales of cotton. In the stable ad
joining, were three horses, two of which
were got out, all efforts failed to save Mr.
Lamar’s stallion, valued very highly by his
owner. We have heard him most extrava
gantly valued, and are satisfied that $5,000
could have been obtained for the animal at
any moment. The iron safe, containing all
the books and papers—of what value we are
-not informed:—was burst open by the heat,
and every thing reduced to ashes. The
wind was blowig from the South, and caus
ed the flames to take immediate hold upon
the ships Jane Hammond, of Glasgow, and
Isabel, of baltimore, lying along side the
wharf—the former moored to the wharf,
and the latter lying'byjiher side. In addi
tion to the cotton destroyed in the ^sheds,
there were 1,300 bales on board the Ham
mond—and the ship and contents may be
set down as a total loss, as it would proba
bly cost as much §to rebuild her, as she
would be worth. She is scuttled and lying
'in the stream. She was probably worth
some $20,000.
The damage to the Isabel consisted in
total destruction of her rigging, sails, deck
house, &c; probably from $5,000 to $8,000,
will be the sum required to repair her. The
firemen we belive were promptly on the
ground, but their best effortsTailed to check
the devouring element. The Cotton was
probably insured^but we have been unable
to learn to what amount the sheds and
press were insured—likely not anything
near their value. We strike an average
between the various estimates of the' total
destruction of property, and say about $300,-
000.

Politics iu Hew York.
The following letter, whose statements
are confirmed by other authorities, shows
that Marcy and Scott are the choice of their
respective parties in New York, for the
Presidency.
The Whiff Caucus.
Special Dispatch to the N. Y. Daily Times.
Albany, April 9.
It is understood that all the Whig Mem
bers of the Senate, except Messrs. Babcock,
. Beekman and Newcomb are favorable to the
nomination of General Scott; and that all
the Members of Assembly, except Messrs,
Bennett, Blackstone, Copeland Cortelyou,
Hutchings', Riley, Heart Taylor, Van
Vechten, Ward and Wilson have author
ised their names to be recorded in favor of
the Caucus resolution, declaring him to be
the first choice of the ^ Whigs of this
State.
The Presidential preferences of both par
ties in this state have been pretty distinctly
expressed within a few daysjpast. We
have already recorded r ‘the actions of the
Democratic Convention of district delegates,
assembled at Albany on Thursday last.—
They met to elect two delegates at large, to
the National Convention. Gen. Cass was
avowedly the candidate of one portion, and
Mr. Marcy of the other,—the latter being
composed of the Free-Soil section and a
portion of the Hunkers. The latter prevail

ner and

Extraordinary Suffering, Waut,
and Death.
The Fredericksburg, (V a .,) News, nar- 1
rates the following extraordinary incidents
in the life of a man named Watson, who 1
«ome fifteen years ago, left Alexandria, set
tled in King George county as merchant,
married a highly respectable young lady,
by whom he had four children, and subse
quently became a widower and a*bankrupt:
“With his children, two of whom were
daughters, he lived on a small farm which
he rented, three miles below the lme separ
ating Stafford and King George. During
the coldest of the weather in the latter part
of December last, his children were seized
with the whooping cough, and every one
prostrated. While thus confined, their
father was taken with erysipelas, and in the
same room lay the father and children, per
fectly helpless. While thus confined some
fiends broke in his meat and fowl houses
and stole every fowl and peice of meat on
the farm. In doing so they passed through
the garden, levelling the fence and thereby
permitting the cattle and hogs to destroy
all the vegetables intended for winter use-
The only thing left for tin support of that
family was a small quantity of corn meal,
and some unroasted coffee. In that condi
tion they lay a large portion of th£ time
without water, without fire and without
food.
“A poor widow in the neighborhood sent
them a small piece of meat, and the oldest
boy, not quite so ill as the rest, as long as
his strength would enable him, crawl to the
fireplace, stir up the dying embers, half
cook some bread, fry a piece of meat, and
with coffee without milk or sugar, attempt
to relieve the hunger of his dying father
and sisters, On one occasion, weak and
feeble as he was, he “staggered through the
snow to a neighbor's house to procure fire.
At one time the father and children would
be crying for water, and not a drop in the
house and no one to bring it. Thus they
lay for several days, until God in his mercy,
took two of the children. Two days did
they corpse by the side of their sick parent
and no one to prepare them for sepulture
and convey them to the tomb. A man ac
cidentally passing by, called in, found the
family as we have described them, the tath
er blind and insensible with his two dead
children—one frozen to death—lying by
his side, and left them in that condition.
Two days after this the father died. The
nightjireceediug his death, be had a hem
orrhage and bled most profusely. By his
side were his son and his daughter, barely
able to raise their heads, but nerved to the
occasion they satby him the whole dight a-
lone, using every means their infant minds
could suggest in staunching the blood. A
poor widow, the day of Watson’s death,
heard of it, came to his house, had him and
his two dead children buried look the sick
ones home with her, nursed them, and has
since restored them to health.”

Our market was firm at the close of our last
weekly review—caused, principally, by a fair
demand and the light stock on sale. The bet
ter qualities were mostly in request, and hold
ers realized on these grades and advance of 1-8
to 1-4 cent the day we closed our remarks.
We quoted Middling Fair at 8 1-8 to 8 1-4 c.
On Saturday, the first day of the week un
der review, there was a good inquiry, particu
larly for the finer lots, but in consequence of
their scarceness, the sales were confined to 757
bales. On Monday the market was dull, and
the sales reached only 391 bales. inac-
ivity was caused by the absence of purchasers
many of whom had suffered by the late fire.
The same dull feeling pervaded the market on
Tuesday, when the sales were only 244 bales.
On Wednesday, the market opened with a bet
ter demand, and the sales reached 921 bales.
On Thursday, the market continued active, but
as the qualities most sought after were scarce,
the transactions were confined to the sale of
695 bales. Up to this period of the week, the
market had been eomparetively regular; very
full prices being asked for the fine lots, and
realized by holders, without, however, any
quotable change in rates—while the inferior
i]ua iiiies were neglected and could be purehas-

The Whig Legislative Caucus was held
on Wednesday night. The election of del
egates at large was postponed, not from
any difficulty in coming to an agreement
upon them, but because it was desired that
all the Whigs in the State—in those dis
tricts where the Democrats have a majority
as well as in others, should be represented
in such an a election. The resolution declar
ing their first choice for the. Presidency to
be General Scott, was adopted with essen

majority were either out of town or kept
