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!
