The Columbus Timea of February lie 1st gives the following account of itcrriuclire which oeeurro i in thut city on the night of the 31st t Last night, between the hour of 10 i. in. and 1 p. m. Columbus suffered from a terrible fire, which destroyed *»ne of I he finest buildings in the city. About. 10* 'o’clock the «Ity was roused by the alarm bell. Many o: the people were at the Opera House, but there was no panic e.itivcd by the alarm. More than halt the audience quietly left. The remainder waw the play through which was ueai its close. The fire was discovered to bo in the Muscogee ILune corner, tin splendid tlnoe-itory brick build ing, which stood on the corner oi St. Clair and Oglethorpe streets.

The words in which he docs this are a* follows : “Touching the suggestion contain ed in your letter that witnesses who may testify before the Committee may be apprehensive of losing their places if they testify truly and fully* you arc at liberty to assure all subor dinate officers that the fact of their testifying before the Committee shull not be used to their prejudice.” Sonator Blain, irrepressible, and ir reconcilable. attacked the early dead of Massachusetts on Tuesday in the Senate. That State was offering to the national hall of statuary a statue of her first Governor, William King, and it was in remarks on this sami- fuiicml subject that the Maine Sena tor attacked the ghosts of old liny StAte politians. If the Senator from JHussnchuscrtts bad let the matter drop or had simply said that at a fitting time they would r'jplv, the allair would have attracted oil great atten tion. But they involved themselves in a debate with Blaine, and as he can talk faster and invent facts faster than any other living man be bad decided ly the advantage of them. There is something wonderful in the facility with which Bluim recalls historical, facts,« rentes other facts, and mingles In one mass what is false and what is true. Add to this an assurance tlmi no one else on earth can rival, and we have Maine, by all odds the su perior to any other man in uu emer gency like that of Tucsda.v* In the House yesterday then were eulogies uu Senator Bogy In the Senate Mr,Blaine iutrodi c- ed an ingeniously absurd hi.I making the silver dollar a legal tender, and directing that in it? coinage, the number of grain- should be varied from time to tiim to keep the coin on an equality w.t’i the gold dollar in value.
