We »top the pres* to nutinmier that llilo morning
about half past two o’clock, oiirciilr.cn* wen* nrotts*
t\l Uy this cry of fire. The flumes is*ued fi"tn the
stable of Mrs. Brisbane, occupniit i»r the western
tenement of n wooden building nmr the llientre
owned by Mrs. I'ustoll, uml the cu-torn tenctmint
occupied by her.
The stable., weio soon in n blare, and unfo.in
nately, from the want of water, tin* roof* f rite re-
sblcnce of Mrs. PustcR caught, and when we left
the scM e, (near f. ur o'clock) the K.romen were,
with manly exertions, quelling the flumes: tin it
supply of water being more abundant.
The stables of Col. Hunter and of Mr. N. W. J
Bullocb will coificqticntly be re»cue«l from tbo des
tructive element.
About an hour befote this fire luohe out, there
was an alarm given by our vigilant Nlebt Ciuaub
which was ciused by an ineewlinty atteirpt to do
stroy the lute tesidencu of Mrs. IV.utho, oil Bryan
street.
Shavings were left by tbo workmen, who had
been repairing the edifice, partially cwtwttiwd some
months since, and some of'hcse wetc colb clod in
thn pinrrn no.I set on fire.
One of the watch having discovered the flumes,
ilia firtt was extinguished with little injury to tl.o
building, it not hnving progressed sufficiently to
cuuse the ringing of thn hell.
These two alarm# exli-bit tho pre«enre..f tneendi.

The diffitience between tlm two resolutions must
be obvious to tliu mind of every honest reader.
Mr Black’s instruct* the eomini fi e, not only Hi
cnquiitf into tlir exped eucy of i n cling tho Custom
House, but gnci. iiiuIk r mid r- quires tin tit to make
pr-ivisi-n b) la • during the pr--»ent »e*si *n for the
conslrociiun tbuie.f, wbd-1 the institution of Mr.
King left tho entire proposition invoiv d in die ques.
.fexjiu.lienc) alone, uinHvliicii was indefinitely
of mu imfavorubVtvpoit, that Mr. Baick oflervd ld«
re-olatioti, and not with m view of laUiag any thing
flout the merit ol .Mr King. So honorable man
could attribute to Mr Black such a m>>tiw'. lie
desired nt onco to have pruvisioa made liyjlnw for
the ore. non of n Cu«tom House, un ubjucl|iet etti
braced in Mr. King’* resolution. j
If the objection had not been in .dob) MtJPrufi!t,
a whig, information would ImvolaMui enllf.1 fi.ra*
to tbe.tmcessily of tlm case, and the aititition of
Ssvsan b, witlt tvgnrd to her eoaveidettow f -r the
nlli'ctioti of the goveroiiienteusiom*. This would
Ituvo dicitod debate. Tho wliolo of thu Georgia
ilelegalioti cimld havo lieen benid, itlld lie IlnUxu
would have heua informed mid euiighteiu^, us lo
tin* want* mid necessities . Y Snvani nh, am) her just
claim* to ihiiupproprintion contemplute.l.
hi* is what Mr. Black tnu*t liavp desired, nnd
if he bad succeeded, a hill w-nM Inivn been
immediately ruporiod. If the House bail |«-<i'd
the resolution l.y instructing tlte eontnvit'.pe, it would
have bceii b.niiiil to have insert'd dm umnunt tie*
ces*ary for tile erection of a Custom Huuso in some
o of tbo appropriation bills.
It will he nlisoivi’il that the lull which hits horn
iiqiortcd and which makes provi-inn for the free*
ion of a Cu finn ll.niso ia Savaanali, will have to
•licoinitei t Im derided opposition wliieii will i.e made
to die nppropri.itimi for other cities nnmi-d in tlm
bill. Out s is n peculiar Cn#o, Mini n« sin'll should
have been picst-mi'd by itself, ttnemhnrrnssed liy
tlto comical inn which il is now mudo in maintain
in tlm sumo bill which include* upprnp tint inns fur
other citict.
These lire tliei flects of Mr. I'rofiii’s oppusition,
und results fr-m tho particular pbrusuobigy uf Mr.
Kiag’s resolution.
Mr. Black's resolution would havo ptovented u
delay, whieli has destroyed all Imp- * of any imtioii
ludng had during tin* present session on tlm bill re*
pnrti d.
Upon i|d< s'ntn of facts it is reap lfully suhmit-
ipiI to tlm people of Suvnitiiuh, wlietber by tlm in
troduction of this vrso'mion Mr. Black intended to
benefit her i ate re* ts, or wle tlmr Im intended, in tho
Jnngmtgo of his vilifier nnd (raducer of tlm Uupub*
lienn, to humbug hem, and to aim an tmmnaly and
trenchcrous stub at the character and fiono of bis
colleague.
If Mr. King himself believed tills, h- hit* Hiiflor-
ed tliu advocacy uf his enuso to fall into tlm hands
of otm who Ims dsgriiccd it, and olio .Inis paced
him in that predicament which would I live rendered
its adjustment at Washington mom honurablc by
rutuining it ia tlm liuinls of gentlemen.
If Mr K tig transmitted his n-it ficd resolution
to Mr. lingua nnd was iusuumcutni lu bringing
forth tho slanders nnd fid*.-hoods of the Knight of
the Cowhide against Mr. Blaek, I have only to tell
him, that " he liu* imde choke of ii hud mirror,
which from radical defect gives false reflections.”
I venture for Mr Blnck to say, that bu nppre
cintcs properly the motives of Mr. King, nnd never
hud in the course ho purstt-i) nny intention whatev
er to undervalue tlm services of Mr. King, or to
disparage his merit# in th- alighlc«t drgro.
I cannot the refine believe thut there is a single
respectable oi boaurable man in Siiviuinnh, who is
picpared to unite in tit- truth or propriety of tlm
attack tlm* inudu upon n luithful ami honest repic*
