CAMDEN S. C. Thursday, A!auch 18. 1819. Dest ructi ve Fi re. In a brief postcript to our last, we made mention of the calamity which has l>efallen the eastern suburb of our town. We promised to give more particulars in to-day's Intelli gencer; but there appears so much uncertainty hanging upon every cir cumstance connected with this la mentable affair, that We are at a loss how to fulfil this promise to the satis faction of our distant readers. That between fifty and seventy houses have l>een consumed?that a great destruc- j 4ion of property has taken place?we can fully attest; but we know nothing as to the origin of-the calamity. The fire was discovered about ibur o'clock, in a building formerly used as a lumber-house. Some per sons sav, it was communicated bv ? ' * ihe w adding of aswivel, tired from ?ome vessel coming up the river.? But no one we believe states this in ? confident manner, and therefore we do,not give it entire ..credence.? Information of this, and of the_con sequences likely to ensue, watf brought into town (properly so cal led) by means of a gentleman pas ting through iilundford at (lie time; ami the alarm sounded in every di rection. It was near seven o'clock, when tbe fury of tlie flames began some what to abate. Contrary to general expectation, ? the two buildings on either side of the street, next to the Causeway, were preserved, I;e tweeo these and the Street mention ed above running N. and IS. forming the eastern line of tlie M. 11, lot, all is desolate and waste. Petersburg as a town will suffer "but little by this conflagration, tint * the individuals upon whom the blow has immediately fallen, will feel it most sensibly. This jmrt of Bland -rford was inhabited chiefly by poor people ; and many of this class have *4ost every ttiitift and all of them ;,%svelttM more than tliey can " afford V to lose." We fear very little of ihe ; property destroyed, has been insur ed. It affords us nlea&ire to hear, the Common Hall lias taken the case of ~ the iilandford sufferers iuto its con sideration. we .hope some plan, having for its object their speedy re lief will l>e adoptod without delay. Peternbitrg Inttlligxnecr, ?ONGin:89. ? A correspondent of tlie Raleigh Star tpimmariztrto thusVery little, business of Importance baa been done by the present Congres*. The Senate have had eight or ten Indian treaties, and the British treaty to act on, in addilionto their other Execu* tlvc and/Legislative duties. They have a bill establishing a Supreme Court* conViHtiiK-; of the present Judges of the cir cuit Courta of the United States ; aud authorising the appointntomt of nine cir cuit Judges. They have patsed the reso lutions by the requisite majority to amewl tjie constitution of the U. States, so that 'each state shall be divided into districts (or the purpose of electing representatives t? ( ongress and cbusing electors io vote io*1 s President of ihe United States: and they have passed acveral bills relative to the trade and commerce of the United States and altering the manner of telling the public lands. As for the House of Representatives, ?hcy seem to have spent their time in de abating. They were nearly three weeks 'discussing sundry resolutions intended to Ciensure the conduct of (irnriial Jackson in prosecuting the war against the Semi nole Indians. The conduct of many members put me in mind of the Mussul man and hog.?It socms Mahomet cursed a certain part of the hog and forbid his followers from eating that part?It was a dispute among them, what part of the hog was forbidden.-?Some said it was the head, *ind they freely eat of the tail and other ?parts Some declared the tail was curs ed, and they eat of all other parts:?80 that upon the whole they eat up the hog. ??So it has been with Jackson. Some blame him for hanging the two Indian _ Chiefs -r-Some blama him foe taking Str Marks?-others acquit him for nil these acts, but fensure him for taking Pcu:a CuXa and-!Tie Ifcar luicits.5To tnat ?wl6n? them they curse him from head to foot, soul and body. Whilst this windy war has been waging among the members, the people of the United States are vicing with one another in honoring) feasting applaud iig; the old veteran for victories which 'place him upon a footing with the great est generals of the age^ and justly entitle him to the gratitude of his country.
