It is almost impossible to ascertain
the. extent of individual losses.?
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. We^ill not preteoc
to portray the character of tlie wretri,
Lvery virtuous mind can depicture
ji-Mi human nature must blush at ie
u depravity. * '

J/r. Jiduor ? 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. APP1US.*

We aie pleased at an ,f
of publishing the follow ins account of
the Halt of Hejtresentatis^ ?from
the hand uf a correspondent, w hose
impressions agree so w> tt With our
own \ ^ > JMtft Jutelm
Gevtlemen : I have'juat been to
view tbe; HaU of Representatives,
in the south wing of the Capital; and
cufinot buf think it the finest piece of
architecture (for the purpose inten
ded) in the world* I hare never
been more gratified by the examina
tion of any specimen of ai t whatever.
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
