Every person within the Imnnds t#f the 4re* all those without it, who removed their fo'ofyrty', ? lost i mure or less. Hut the extent of a loss, as it regards merely its ? mount, , is not the criterion of its injury? it is^him that has lost his all, the un protected, the friendless, and the helpless, that ouglg to Excite our pity and compassion, and calls for our assistance. ' ~ Only one life was lost, Captain Farquhar M'Rae, after the fire taw} *!raost subsitWd, who ventured witli ii. a building for the purp&e of sav ing property not his owb. ? The walls fell, and he was crushed to . atoms. He was a useful citizen iu his sphere of life, and would have beeu legrctcti even had he died on *4he couch of disease. To give our readers at a distance an idea of the part of the town de stroyed, it* limits correctly we will eudwarer to describe ? commencing at the corner of Second and Market streets, at a building owned by Mrs. Toumei, wear the, Tuwu Hall $ on the river $ thence down the liver to Orange street ) thence eastwardly alone Second street to the beginning ?comprising four wlwle squares, e very building iu which were destroy ed, excepting a brick warehouse be longing to Hanson Kelly, esq. the building occupied by Archibald Tay lor. and a blacksmith shop. With out these limits, 'two houses on Front sir- et, and a house on Dock street belonging to Mrs. Bernard, were destroyed. Such is the extent of our injury. It belongs to uther*4i?poiut out but distresses and our lauteuta ble*sUuatiou. * The Police of the Town have a most important duty fo perfora. To ' tlieai we leave the task of stating our situath^fof soliciting the assistance ?of appealing to tlie sympathies, hi id welt known chaiitable and bene* \olent feels of the American people. To the sufferings of others, Wilr ijiu^ton has never vemained indiffer e K? limited as wsfc lier means, to know them was all that was ncces s ry for lu)( to contribute her mite. {?> iu is now in distre?is-~htindreds of . h 'i inhabitants are suffering. The k owledge of her situation will, we u e certain, Confer relief. We liava * pasted tlie duty to ha performed, a ;d those wha are to perform it Ve have done ours. And all this i$ tlie work of an in r idiary . Suspicion has been afloat, 1 ..it we sus|?ect it has not been dWect c I towards the tight person. High 1 1* views than those of plunder must have been the object, for we have 4tcard of not much success and of wy few attempts. The cause is t innate rial ; the effect%*nd the crime are the same.

Gentlemen. who itave re cently been at Chatham, stat<, that the en terprising inhabitants oi that, rising l ov% have had such a Surveyroi the Road be tween Fajettcville and Camden, as proves that ibe route is 14 miles shorter through Chatham, than it is by the way of Soci&ty Hill. '1* it not to be believed, but Uiat tne 'Post-Master General will avail himself ot this circumstance, to give the great West* em Mail every possible degree of celerity in its conveyance to these and the mote Western Districts of the Republic. In deed, it may be equally credited, that, in stead of making Fayetteville the extreme point ofjapid, regular and uniform daily conveyance, he >? tU make it to terminate at Augusta, l'oi , the Maiis can be brought from Petersburg to Faycttev^lle, a<listauce tf 2iti miles in 36 houis, they may be coil* veyed in a kittle less time from Fayettevillc to Augusta, a distance, under Vhe Chatham Survey, of about 220 miles. The advantage attached tp the adoption of such a scheme is evident, nor, do 1 apprehended any valid objection can be offered to preclude it* If it is alledged that thfcre are not passengers for a Stage so often, it may be remarked that, as inthc case of the Mail between Charleston and Fayetteviile, the adoption of a Suikey convcyance, eve 17 alternate day, would remove the impediment? but, when the independence of the Western Stales is considered, it 4s not believed any slight im pediment will be suhered to operate. Hcucjt it is suggested, that the inhabitants of Chatham^ Camden, Columbia and Au gusta, unite in a request to their Represen tative:), now about procwdinfc to W ashing* ton, to fcrw aid iiat views oi their constitu ents.

It is highly .^editable >0 the great nation by which it has been erected, and Jn tlie architect and artists by whom ft has been designed and ex ecuted, After baying *o much* it will not, perhaps, tie a mjla to give a hrief description of this chamber, for thti information' of such of your readers as may never have an oppor tunity of viewing it. The room is semi-circular, and of considerable dimensions, both as to diameter and elevation; twenty two ma ss.v columns and four pilasters* of Breccia, or Potomac marble, as it is usually called* are erected 011 [sit elevated base of free stone, form^ ing the area of the room, five capi tals of these pillars are of Carrarian marble, were executed in Italy, and, are very rich and beautiful. These support a large and maguificeut do&e, *'i ti e fcen.rt* of which is placed an ornamented cupola, that admits tin*, light into the liatt from above. In the front of the Speakers clmir, and over the entrance into the chamber, stands an allegorical figure, executed in Italian marble, by Messrs, Fran* coni uihI Zaccinania, and represent* ing History, in the act of recording the proceedings of the nation. 8 be stands in a winged cur. which geemif to roll over a section of the celestial globe, exhibiting, iu basso relievo, the signs of the zodiac. The wheel of the car is iuteuded as the face of a clock, w bich is to lie placed behind, and the frout contains, in has, relief, a figure of Fame, and a profile Imst of w afchiii?too. Above tlie Speak |er's chair is a colossal statue of Lib erty, 11 plaster, ^pointing to the hall below, and supported Ou her right by an American Eagle, and on her left by the Roman Fasces, 'which are partially enveloped in thefohts of a bomvit. Immediately under this tlgiflpon the fiize, is carved, in alto relievo, another Kagle, jn tiie [attitude of flying, executed by an ar tist of great eminence, now no morn. The ceiling of the dome is paint* ed in a style of uncommon elegance, by Higuior Jienani, a young Italian at list, and a pupil of the celebrated David, of Parte. The deripi hi somewhat similar to that of the dome of JImi Pantheon, at Jio. e. The| cupola, and bordering below, are splendidly ornamented, and, con trasted by the rich and massy columns beneath, (ti id the general finish ami ou time, uf the hall, produce an effect at once grand and imposing. Parti of this beautiful ceiling baa, unfor tunately, from the want of time, been left in an unfinished state ; but the design, execution, and coloring of] the whole, reflect great credit on the artist, and must excite the admira tion of evei y spectator. It is to te tioped that Signior Bo nanimay be employed to paint the upper dome or ceiliiig of (he Henau*1 Chamber in the North wing of H?! Capitol? another room of alim* equal splendor and lieauty. Fiw * Uie spec imen liA has ^iveu us of Iu taste, judgement, and skill; in th*> painting just executed, every one muat desire to *ee him still limber Mupkyed ; and 1 aiu Mire (bat ever,) effort lie makes. w lit coutinue to *uti thfe just augmented re potation be Jkas acquired.
