Tho adjoining homo to the South, owned by Mrs. Drummer, and occupied by Mr. James Uynn, nnd tho ndinining houso to the North, owned bv Doctor J. W.

All tho houses destroyed wore wooden ones—the estimated value of tho property Is about $5000 or $6000. nu none of which was there any insurance. Tho fire occurred in a neighborhood, presenting dense muss of small rized wooden buildings; and but for the calmness of the night there would pro- bnldy have boon a very extensive conflagration. Great credit is duo In tho Fire Companies for their active and efficient exertions on the occasion { and the curly blowing up of Mr. Dupre's house was a most judicious measure, un thn purt of the officiat ing Engineer. Tho cause of the fire ha* not been ascertained, but suspicions exist that it may have orighiab-d from the uctof tho owner of the premises first on fire, who isnn old woman, subject to fit* of insanity, and whose previous conduct, during the night, had indi cated derangement.

[FOR THE GEORGIAN.] Mr. Editor;—Right glad utn I, to have nwak- eded the imaginations of our drowsy community, at thU dull season of the year, when it is a great effort to keep cool. Your notice of "An Old Wo man," lias aroused a spirit of inquiry, which, al- though it cannot bo satisfied, will givo fell play to the intellect, which is tho only faculty at this sea son, tlint can bo exercised without fatigue. I had intended not lo nppear again in your pnper, as I was quite satisfied with the debates in the P. 1*. Club, at their lust meeting; they having conceded thn justice of my remarks, and boat a retreat, after a littTo slush nt our tongues. 1 nin willing to allow our tongue* are sharp, but it proceeds from u sharp wit, tho uncoiuciou* and mechanical tongue be ing the only inode of making ii known, aiid felt 5 it is, however, an unruly member, nnd require* de motion—which, l hope, will always govern the old womun. I will not coniinuo in the list* again*t the P. I*. Club, a* th-y appear so delighted ul shullling off on TuutaluA, tha uiosl offenrive part of my reply, tlio picture of uu old man—just what they never Intend to be, if wo mayjndgo from tho frisky air of ono of tho members, who, 1 presume, was the prototype of the whole. 1 really do like tlio P. P. Club, and will not purt from thorn, hut in good will, and hope they will deul gently with thu "old wo man," in their future debates. But what urn 1 to suy to Tantalus, who appeared again in this mor- nitig's paper 1 If I could understand him, I think I could reply In u plain wuy, but I must acknow ledge I could not make out cleurly whut ho mount. This impression, however, imbued my miud, (after roudiug very carefully, and with deep attention, his communication twice over,) that ho meant an apology, fur being so much frightened in Id* dream, ms nearly to drown liinuwif, at what was very harm less. His punt uro so numerous, aiid his allusion,* so distant, I confess, in this ago, of " tho murch of intellect," /cannot understand tho point of them— which in an old woman is excusable—for I am not ashnmed to suy, 1 never was tuught Latin, or even tho modern language of French—out had a plain education in English, with n little music and draw ing, for my own mnusemunt, and nut for show.— Therefore, if 1 do not reply to Tantal is. a* fully as liu deserves, 1 hope soino abler matron will. Hi* nursery rhyme* uro applicable to tho times they were written in, when witches wero believed in, not now, when even nurslings lire above such supersti tious. I do pity him fur having hi* rest disturbed by such uiiwelcomu sounds, ul such unseasonable hours —hut, perhaps, his droudful dream might havo nriseii from n dinner of Turtle coup, or somo such powerful causa—and tliu distuibiug sounds, only secondary—and I hope th ? next time he has the Nightmare, it may cornu in xumu other shape than iiii old wmnuti. To tho "old maid" who hns honored me by styl ing herself my nlcco, I-am sorry to say 1 cannot claim affinity. In the first plnre, I never had more than half tho number of little nlioe plants she attri butes to mo; nnd in tho second, I read your pa per as soon in the morning as tho young inemburs of the family mi- done wills it, (youth having tlio prece dence,in these days,) ami withont my spoctacl<-s, hav ing my second sight; and thirdly, no niece of mine, I hope, would challenge u gentleman to matrimony, —no, n**t even nn old snuffiuking Bachelor— Wi dowers never uka snuff— they have learned better manners while married men, ami generally, wishing agnin t • enter that respectable state, (hereby show ing, if they are liko thn Fox, they wish to continue so) do not full into such an idle custom, lest it should prevent their getting young wives—old ones they know do nut object to a practico, which, alas I th- y are npt to fall into themselves. I cannot in thn "old maid's" communication, see the female miud predominant—the allusions to Marryatt, be tray the sea, nnd her disguise, being wrinkled and shrunk up, duos not coynr the musculiue satire.—1 pronounce the " Old Maid " to to a cunning young scribbler of the masculine gender, who wishes to lash ids own sen, under the disguisn of nurs. I shall leave, the readers nf tha Georgian to their various surmises, whether I am an. old man. or woman, as the D-rm* appear synonymous—and, fol lowing the example of the "Great Unknown," re main in shudowy dau t—assuring my sex that I ahull always bo ready to ssy a word iu their behalf as long as nur worthy Editor allows a place in his columns to AN OLD WOMAN.

A most pro found stuteiman, are you " Mr. Watch.” He can not avail himself of a typographical eiror—as thn word " Governor" is vastly different, and it betrays tto fact that ho knew so little of tto matter as to ennfound the two different men. O! thou learned Tiieban—thou mighty Bibliographer I Read Washington's Life uud writings,by Jared Sparks, aid you will vouch for tto correctness of what I am about to state—and abandon your illi beral and ungenerous opinions.
