destructive conflagration. Atml four o'rlorV on Monday afternoon, • fir* UIm «tf la lha yard iff the Savanaah Pleam Saw Mtt Cempen), oa tha ether rid* ofthe river, eppo* •lit Ike yard ef the Steamboat Company tffGeor- git. tl proceeded (Wan an old tioildinf Aom ona It two kaadrrd yards Mow iba milt, amt about 100 Hat long ky 30 wide, tkf roof of which Ignited from a spark from tho mill pipe, Ike wind at the time hlowinf strung from the North West. The hulld' Inf was Immediately In a Mara, ami tlie fire eon* manlcated In tan minutes or less to the schooner Medor* t of Providence, lylnf at the wharf near. Tbe fire was hy the wind rapidly extended to a ear* go of white pine tioanls on the wharf, owned hy Captain Wm Crabtree, jr., to whlcK’pentleman ami Georg* Hall, Esq., both of this eltv, the building in which the fire originated also lielongrd. In tills building (on which there was some In* BUranee, not yet ascertained, In the Howard Insur- ance Company of N. Yotk,) there was a new en* i gine Intended for n new Steam Saw Mill about to It. be tractod, which was owned hy tiro same gentle- men, and which we are happy to learn is but par* tlally injured. This engine eras not injured. The flames also extended to another old building, < of same dimensions, ns tiro former, the property of the Estate of the Into Robert Isaac, which was alio totally consumed, as also a portion of a pile of 200 chaldrons of Liverpool coal on the wharf, tho pro perty of Messrs. Crabtree & Hall The wharfhends have also been more or lets injured. Tho Schoojror Me,torn was the property of Col. R. J. Arnold, ofDryan County, valued about $3,000, and wn regret to learn, not insured. Two men on board at tho time endeavoured to loose her from her moorings, but before she could be got adrift, they ware compelled by the flames to desert her, in one of tha boats. She was afterwards scuttled and when our informant left her lmd boon burnt to tho water’s edge. The mill was fortunately preserved. While the second building wn* in flames, and be fore engines could bo carried across tho river, tiro alarm was again sounded and whon wo reached the •cone, the old building on Reynolds square, on tho lot known as the old filature lot was in flames, tiro roof having caught from n spark wafted several hundred yards across the river, which igniting like tinder threatened a serious conflagration. Tho en gines were however on the spot, and though the element was very obstinate, by tho timely aid of water well directed by the Firemen, and by tho exertions of many citizens, tho flrn was arrested, af ter destroying tho doublo tenement, wooden build ing occupied by Mr*. Russell, as a boarding houso r and by Mrs. Austin, and extending to a small dou ble tenement also of wood on St. Julian Street, oc cupied by Mrs. Johns end Mr. P. Cartier, which was totally consumed with nut buildings on the lot. The large building owned by Mr. Thomas Clark, and by Mr. Amos Scuddcr, was undor insurance, v »i we learn, (300. made by Mr. Clark. Mr. - Scuddcr was not insured on this building or on tiro other tenement which belonged to him. His loss, we regret to state, is therefore heavy, us two other dwellings (not insured) on the lot, ono a double tenement on Lincoln Street, were more or less de stroyed by the Axemen to nrrest tho conflagration. Tho dwellings of Mrs. Bourke, Mr. Schley, and Mr. Thus. S. Wayne were with other contiguous buildings repeatedly on fire, but preserved by great exertion. Wo regret to lenrn that much furniture was lost by Mrs. Russell and Mrs. Austin, nmlthag| two of their boarders Messrs. Roberts’ lost cohiK drrable, as also a Mr. Gardiner. We congratulate our citizens that It proved not more serious in its effects, and would urge upon Council tiro necessity of procuring more hose, some of which proved very deficient, and of keeping in good repair the cisterns, from two of which in the vicinity material benefit at this fire was derived. THE NORTHERN WHIGS. We have never acknowledgcsl wny political *ym- pithy with tint self-sty led tr'i/gsnftliu North. Wli>? Bemuse we have vh-wed thorn us men, striving hi pull diTtvn overy ndininistruiion, whose nunsuies wet* euotlucivit to tie support of our republican ■ institutions, end to ere* I, f suecns-ful, on lie- ruins of such udmiuistrniion, ii monied tiristncriiey, in the . form of an irra«puusili|o finnnci-il C-u pom linn, wliirli under tlio guidance of violent |H»Iiiii-.iitn*, would nlwnys bo found arrayed uttaiiisf tiro po licy of dissolving till! connexion In-tweeil the Go- Aornnteiu -and bunks, n connexion which has ills, tuilicd ilm eonun -rcial n-iniioas of the Siute*. and which, if .uir.-n-d to continue, would eventually overshadow the prosperity of those Sliito Cor|Mim- thins, whiali should ever lie fostered mid protected by those State Sight* men who adhere to ii striel construct ion of tint instrument, from wliich the Stairs of tho Confederacy derive u nutiuiiol exis tence. As strict cnnstrocti-'nists we have been uncom promising opponents of a bank of the United Stales, and of a protective Tariff 1 , which, by its exaction* on Southern industry, luivc brought tiro people of the South, in a great measure, tributuiy to tin- manufacturers of the Ninth, uud have raised up Northern ' Capitalists to control our commeic. ■ml to paralyze nil the exertions of Southern mer chants to secure a direct irsdo with tlm-n foreign -countries, dependant on the labor of tiro South for those products which employ ihcir operative* and Ip tare quiet to n busy population. Tho Bank has been rejected by tho Republican pooplo of those States, and tho efforts of tho-paat and present administrations to secure a healthy currency to thu people, hnve been more or less thwarted by alliances, destructive to tho prosperity of tiro South, already laboring under the iucunibiis ofa tariff. While opposed to this oppressive tariff, we have been re luctant todiscard that American feeling,which should ever study to promote tho interests of the whole na tion, and to diffuse that spirit which, whilo our do. mestic prosperity was secured, should not encourage a sectional feeling alien to national welfare, and hos tile to tho admonitions ofsugo experience. Jn these • views wo have been sustained in times past by thn people of Georgia. Battling for fundamental prin- -^ciples, tho majority of Georgians never forgot that their denrest interests, as citizens of America, wore allied to tho interests of tiro Northern Democracy; that the abuse of delegated power by Congress in which every portion of tho country was represented, could not sanction a course condemned by the sages -of tho republic, but that nn nppeal to tho interests of tho mass was preferable to an overthrow of those principles, wluch.threatoncd for a time by a majori ty in Congress, would eventually, by the force of rea son, addressed to tho fears of all, pierce tho cloud which rested on tho political horizon, and blaze forth as the morning star of a nation’s prosperity, disen thralled from the darkness, which obscured it from tiro gazo of patriots. That star lias since with brighter cffulgcnco risen again In tho firmament,and the clouds which in 1332 and *33 enveloped it- lustre in a mantle of night, have retired to "tiro drop bosom of tiro ocean.” | But sincothat event, which tested tho supremacy of our Constitution,—and exhibited the value of that compromise which male us One People, never to be lost sight of, but ever to bo regarded a* an es sential principlo in tho compact of Union,the people of the South have been,mure u( less,alarmed by indi cations of a storm, threatening to burst upon their beads, an£ if not arrested, to shako and perhaps ultimately overthrow the Constitution under which they live, established, ai it bos been foruliy b«/rod, fur alt time by the wiso and patriotic, and cement ed by the life blood of revolutionary heroes. In that struggle which preceded our birth as free- l . men, and paved the rjad to national independence, where were the Waziiixotoxs, the Greenes, the / Stamm, tho Mcixromu, the Halm, the Jack ie logs, and tiro Uatnm l Contending sido by side, \ with their brethren of America, against the exact ions t of a tyrannic ministry, who turned against them tho ff savage kail* and murderous tomahawk, because ) their British blood row, like that of ||itnpd#n and of Sidney, to insert their right- s* Britons. Tlrolr cause was responded »■» by tiro sinuous and tiro good in distnnt lands, and a Lafayette, a DeKalb, a Ko*ciu«ko, ninl a I’nh.kl, with others of foreign landt, rushed to combat lor those principles, which Americans asserted, and the spirit of Montgomery approved their efforts in the righteous conflict for a people's rights. Bui nt this slay, such example* are forgot ten by some, wins, utuipitig tho n-tm • of SVKig, seek in its garb to iinjHi-e u|niii is virtuous people, and hoisting as tlo-y do, tiro banner of irony, encourage under (u folds tho torch of tiro incendiary of their country’s liberties.

If the opposition presses of the south do not es- pose Niii-h conductor* of the pies*, ns Hammond of dm Cincinnati Gii/.oltr, do they tiller tho senti ments of their rendei*? Do they not, rather, by their silence make the opponents of Van Bcuen in Georgia, and other Southern States, believe that there is no cauro of nlirm—that tho Abolitionist* of tho North are frowned upon by both parties, and that Southern men can support cither Clat, Har rison, or any othor candidate who, with tho name of IMiig, scoks to unite a Northern and Southorn opposition. But tho people of tho South nro awak ing on the subject. Tiro Charleston Mercury ha* long sinco repudiated such an alliance, tu that of Southern with Northern IVJWgr—not with assortlon merely, hut with fact*. , That paper too, approves of tho resolution* pass ed by the Van Boren party in Congress,—resolu tion* whiclf emanated from ATHERTON of tho (tea, nUe Stall, to throw oil upon tiro wave* of dissen sion, which an Adtmt, a Slade, n Morris, and others would otherwise, have excited nt the session that ho* passed. Could wo see more of the Mercury's spir it pervading other Southern Presses, opposed to tho election of .Mr. Van Bur. ninl 833 7, wo would hope to see the South,—tiro whole South, in o united phnlanx, sustaining, through tiro columns of tho Pros*, tlio administration of one, who, if obnoxious to any portion of the Southern people, deserve* no opposition on tho assumed ground of hostility to Southern institutions. POLICE OFFICE.—Savannah, March S3,1830* A FOUNDLING. Ilis Honor, tho Mayor, ha.l a repart made to hhn, yostcrJay, of a f.m llmj which wat loft in front of tho house of a coloured woman, in Indian street. It appears that on that night, about ten o’clock, a tap wns heard at tiro coloured woman’s door, who unswered it, when a man laid a new horn child, but few hours old, nt the door, and rail away. It wns a fine femalo child. Tiro host part of tha tale, for tho credit of human ity remains to bn told. It appear* tint a respecta ble lady of this city, Ins adopted tiro poor little foundling, and under her auspices, it may yet become a useful member of society. Thu* Providenco has found a protector for tho little innneont thus ** thrown on tiro Futhorhood of God.” Comment nn this subject is useless, as wo rcjnico to s?y, tlroso cares are very novel. But wu hope that our police will he on tho alert to detect the perpe trators of such barbarities, if thny nro ever repeated. Wo believe, indeed that this caso is unpreccdent in Savannah. A child deserted by iu parent, formed no part, until now of our annals. FROM HAVANA. By tho brig Washington, Capt. Evans, at this port, wo have received tho following : . HAVANA, March 10.
