THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN. [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 ed, after a protracted struggle, Messrs. Skin ner and known the Free-Soilers 1 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.” COMMERCIAL.

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- d t >,iade ower. xscon amed in a tepo t of a committee of; On Thursday night, the telegraphic accounts the House of Representatives of that State.; of the English steamer America, bringing sev- We extract from it a single paragraph : i en days later intelligence than the Africa, “While all were bent upon gathering the j were received.

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 tial unanimity. Of the members absent the majority were either out of town or kept away by sickness, and most c of them have since authorized their names to be recorded in favor of the resolution.
