Tremendous Conflagration

DeJTBOTED LOU XITIMATEO AT
Ten Millions.
Il ! our painful duty to record oneot
tha most terrible lires that ever devsst
sled any city on thii continent. A
great portion of our busy and poptilou
town ia in ruini. More houses have ben
destroyed kby thia single and lion ibl
conflagration, than have ever occureii
in Ihia city befoie.
Thoie scquainted with tli( plan of
Piltsburg. will realize the extent of the
terrible calamity we have iuffcred vvhei
we state lhat nearly all that put of ihi
city extending from Feiry slieel up tin
Monongahela river to the city line, and
thence to the head of the entire suburb
called Pinelown' "Kensington! has
been destroyed.
The fire reached up Market street
aa far aa the south aide of Third street,
and up Wood street as far ss the south
aide of Diamond alley. The boundaries
cf the burnt district may be thus describ
fil: From Water street up Ferry to
Third atreel, (the third Presbyterian
Church was saved,) up third lo Wood.

and thence down emilKneld to fourth

prising from 10 to 1200 houies, man)
ol (he warehouses containing goods ot
immense value they were grocery,
dry goods snd commission houses,
nd their spring clocks had been jus
J aid in.
The fire originated in a frame build
ing over an ice house belonging to Wm.
Dithl, near the corner of Second ano
Ferry streets. The wind was blowing
tifly from the .Northwest, though it fre
queutly -veered to other points, and ow
ing lo us variations, ihe fire extended
up WooJ strett farther than it oihei wist
-could have done.
It was first discovered about 12 o'-
t i'I I b i n t ne"s ft e r-nwn. E v e n wft il e''w

gines are jjlaingyigoiously ja Wood

We can give no adequate idea of th
distress which pervades our stricken
community. The jwogiess of the flame
was so fearfu'ly rajjid that maoy persons
had not time to remove their goods
others, again, had got their property
into the street, when the flames seized
it there, before it could be removed to
j plsce of safety.
Others still would not Relieve the de
vouring element could reach iheii
dwellings and -did noi think of remov
ing until ilwaa loo Jala .to save iheii
furniture. And we saw many peoph
who escaped with nothing butlhe appar
el they had upon their persons.
At daik, you might see, at every di
rection, families aiding without eheltei
gusrding such portions of their house
hold furniture as they were able to avt
from the flames, and not knowing where
they would lay their .heads, or procure
a morsel of food. "Of course the kind
ness of iheir mote foi lunate fellow citi
l nt did much to alleviate their suffer
lings., and we believe sll were provided
for aa well as the tnelanch jly nature ol
affairs would allow.
The Councils met in the afternoon,
and attempted lo devise some means to
slay Ihe conflagration. Il was proposed
lo blow up houses that seemed in the
way of the flames, the -deliberations,
however weie ineffectual in rrsulis, and
we believe but one or two building
ware blown up. It seems to us, indeed
lhat there cojld not have been time to
accomplish any thing . in the way of de
stroying houts, so terribly rapid va
the progress ol the fire
'IV re is abundant reason fur thank
ulntls that jo few lives weie los.
There are many rumors of men bein(!
killed, and burnt and wounded bu
they sra not authenticated. One wo
pan is certainly burned, and we saw
.ear old man, tottering along with th
help of two friends, his face badly burn
td. The Ions of life, however, cannoi
be learned in the awful confusion whicl
prevails.
We know not how to express ou
scnie of the Ivrly gratitude to which
the firemen sre entitled from our afflict
ad and ruined citirens, as well ss those
thtv have saved nothing in ihe shape
of reward cin compensate them for the
tncensnt toil they hid to undergo, snd

PUFFING EXTRAORDINARY.
We have been much amused with the
continued insertion, from week lo week, ol
articles in the Danville papers, puffing the
business of thai village. One would sup
pose from reading their account, thai bu
few cities of the Union were doing more
business, or increasing more rapidly in
population. We know not how many timet.
we have seen notices of the erection of sev
eral hundred dwelling houses, new furnaces
new rolling mills, new foundaries, and
diousanda other eplondid establishments
for this or lhat kind of business. Now
what will the public say, when we tel
ihem, thai there ha not been, for the lasi
three years, a single furnace built; but one

nuck up in the lots in the neighborhood
of their oar mines and lurnacies. As lo
the immense increase of inhabitants, let the
eleclion decide. Al the last Novembei
election, when greaier exertions were never
used by both parties, to get out iheir voles
they polled 49! votes, while al the election
two years previotts, they swelled their vote
to 520, This is about in a ratio with Iheir
increase of business. And vet we see
weekly pufi of the tremendous growth ol
Danville. We think lliev must have taken
leasons from the eastern and western land

without clearing away the limber, or the
assembling of a single soul to inhabit ihem
