Tlit- British <:O«HU1 at Savannah
C laims the Captured Cotton.
The Port Hoyal correspondent of the
New York WoW</says; 1 lie British
Consul at Savannah, who is known to
revel in the hackneyed remark that "the
sun never setts on her Britanic Majesty's
dominions'*—a circumstance which aug
urs that they wilt "bear watching''—to,,k
it into his official head to claim, in be
liatf of certain British subjects, a large
portion of the cotton which had been
captured in the city. L nlortuuately for
him, his application had i.<eonanticipated
from the c. urso adopted by certain citi
zens of Savannah, who placed tickets on
hundreds of bales, declaring they be
longed to a Liverpool house, and who
openly boasted that the Consul in quea
/ tion ought to have something to say about
auy contemplated cuutication oi the ar
ticle.
Well, her Bri'annic Majesty's Consul
at Savannah eonies before Gen. Sherman,
and finds him putting a segarat his head
quarters. The General heard the official's
story blandly and uninterruptedly till its
close. The consul stated that he had
been commissioned by British subjects
to claim the cotton iu their dehalf. They
had bought it, he averred, aud paid for
it, too; and by the law of nations it
should be recognized as their property.
The consul then hinted that it would be
better to restore the cotton to its owners,
and, in order to give force to this remark,
he conveyed the idea that his action might
be regarded as a mere preliminary of a
more effective course.
The eonquerer of Georgia, not having
the fear of the lion and unicorn before
his eyes, looked up it the consul, and at
once became his questioner.
•' You say those British subjects paid
lor that cotton?" asked General Sher
man.
The British Consul—"Yes, I have
been so instructed. The hills can be fur
. uisked ; 1 believe they have."
General Sherman, without wastiug a
thought on the case with which a gross
of bills might be furnished, replied, delib
erately :
" Yes, if British subjects paid fur that
cotton, I know what they purchased it
for. They gave to rebels powder, lead,
shot and eanuou for it. I have captured
that cottou. Jt was mine, and 1 made a
present of it to tlie United States govern
ment, who iut-jud to stili it. Liu; names
ol any claimaubs tor it will be taken aud
revoaied) aud tro, the uuujuol
or futuro action. But tTlere tfcc matte
must rest for the present."
Mr Stanton has sustained the decis
ion of General Sherman

(jireat Fire in Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 8.
A terrible fire bioke out in this city at
two o'clock this morning, equal in extent
and destruciion to the great fire of 1850.
It occurred at the corner of Ninth and
Washington streets, where Blackburn &
Co , had three thonssnd barr.elsof oil sto
red on an adjoining lot. On another cor
ner was the coal yard of Bailey & Por
ter. It was the most inclement night of
the season, and the fire department work
ed with every conceivable disadvantage.
'l'll oil was a vast sheet of Hame in ten
minutes, and the blaze that escaped from
I it poured over into Ninth street and down
j Ninth to Federal, igniting houses on both
I sides for two squares on Ninth street,
and burning also the houses on Washing- |
j ton. Worth and Federal streets, above I
j and below Ninth ■trect. The scone was j
frightful. Men, wonun and children
| were burned alive in escaping from burn
ing dwellings.
I Tho oil was in bond to the United
States, li was all refined oil which be- I
longed to •Richardsen, Harley and Co..
! Dilworth A Ewing, and other parties lis- I
| es upon it about seventy thousand, while I
| it is fully covered by insurauce. It is be- I
j lieved that the fire was the work of an
j incendiary. Fire Marshal Blackburn
| will give the matter a searching iuvesti- I
| gation. Th' misery and poverty which
i the fire will occasion cannot be estimated,
j The persons whose houses weae burned
were mostly poor people, and there is now j
[ an active movementauiongourmerchants
| to extend relief to the sufferers.
! The Coroner's jury was summoned this ;
j afternoon but will hold no meeting till to-'
j morrow. They visited the Second His-1
i -trict Station house, old Southwark Hifll.
i where lay in a heap the charred remains
!of four human beings. It was utterly )
i impossible to idcutify them so badly were j
I they burned. One appeared to be the |
j body of a man,one a child and the other |
j three adult females. The following are
i missing: Mrs. Barbara Ware aged fbrty
| three years, Annie Ware, aged 2ii years,
i Mi lima Ware, aged 20 years, Rebecca |
Ware, aged 10 year-. Helen Ware, aged j
I.'! years. Isabella Ware aged four years.
Albert Ware aged 17, and Clayton Ware i
aged ten years, were shockingly burned, i
but were rescued. They were thought to |
be dying last evening. Four of the char
red bodies at the second district station !
were probably Mrs. Ware and three of j
her daughters. The other two daugh
ters are probably under some of the ru
ins.
There is a strong feeling in the city
against the further allowance of the sto
rage of coal oil within the city limits, so
many tires having recently occurred thro'
its instrumentality, and it is likely that
the City Council will take action on the
matter at an early day.
Uj Associated I'ress.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 8.
The fire hero this morning originated
in Blackburn and t.'o's shod for storing re
fined oil. 2.000 barrels have been destroy
ed. It was insured mostly in New York.
Forty dwellings, mostly three stories, are
burned The oil that escaped iroin the
burning barrels poured over into. 9th st.
with a lake of lire, and igniting the hou
ses upon both sides of 9th street for two
squares, and carrying devastation into
Washington, Ellsworth and Federal sts..
both above alio below 9th street, bully
five squares of houses, had they been
placed in a row, were on fire at once.—
The scene was one to make the stoutest
heart fail. Men, women and children
were literally roasted alive in the streets.
Captain Joseph 11. Ware, who occupi
ed a dwelling in the vicinity with his wife
and five daughters and two others met
with a stid misfortune. They all suc-
I eeeded in getting into the street from the
house, just after they left their beds, but
mournful to relate, they found themselves
in a river of fire. The family became
scattered. Mrs. Ware had her youngest
daughter in her arms, and was endeavor
ing to save her. when she fell, and the
child and another daughter, about fifteen
years old was burned in the street, and
.their bodies were so horribly mutilated
that they can only be indeutified by the
peeuliaareireiiuistaiices surrounding them.
Captain Ware and two sons escaped,-but
three daughters are missing. Six bod
ies in all have thus far been recovered.
Three of them have been recognized as
belonging to the Ware family. Another
one of the bodies is supposed to be that
of Jas. Gibbons. There is also the body
of a boy not yet recognized, and that of
a fireman. It is thought that several
other persons have perished, aud that
.there are bodies still under the ruins.
—Salkehatchee S. C., has bee cap
tured by our troops. The rebels
left upon the advance of our forces
from Pocotaligo. It is thought that
they will make a stank at Asliepo.
—The reports of the complete disor
ganization of Price's army are confirmed
by authentic Galveston advices received
at Cincinnati. It is without clothing,
arms, food and forage. Hood's army is
believed to be in but little better condi
tion.
—The old revenue cutter Harriet Lane,
captured by the rebels and renamed the
haveuia, was burned at sea on the 18th
instant, while on her way from Galves
ton to Havana. It is supposed she was
fired by a sailor who had failed to get his
wages.
—Nashville pipers report Hood's
array to be 1 reuking up rapidly, and
deserters to be coining into our lines
by the huudred.
—The crew of the rebel steamer Flor
ida, captured in the harbor of Bahia, by
the U. S. steamer Wachusetts, have been,
; liberated by order of the Government.
' They numbered about 30 men, and were
taken from Fort Warren inn tub-boat
j and placed on board the British steamer
| Canada, which sailed from Boston

IN order to secure the assistance and co-operation of
the people in the endeavor t" keep the Enrol incut Lists
continually correct, the Em oiling Boards have been di
rect ed to have copies of said lists kept open to the ex
amination if the public at all proper times, anil shall
give public notice that any person may appear before the
Board and have any man stricken off the li-t. if he can
show, to the satisfaction of the Board. tl>at the pulsion
named is not propeily enrolled, on account of
Ist. Alienage;
2d, yon residence ;
3d. Over Aye ;
4th. I>rmantnt, Phyiioa 1 Diaahilit]/, of such a degree
as to render the person not a proper subject fur enroll
ment under the law and Regulations;
sth. Having served in the Military or Naval service
tvi j/fiir* during the pieseutwar and beeu honorably
discharged.
especially Civil officers, Clergymen, and all prominent
citizens, ate invited to appear at all times befoie the
Board to |«>iut out eirors in the Lists, and to giv« hucu
information in their possession as may aid in the collec
tion aud revision thereof
They should understand that it Is plainly for the in
terest of each Hiibdlstrictto have stricken froui the Lists,
all namcN improperly enrolled, becauhe an «xcees of
names increases the quota called for from such suit-dis
tricts; and that it is equally for the interest of each per
son enrolled in a given wub-district to plsceupon the Lists
all pan*in* in the sub-district lialde to do military duty,
becuu->* the greater the number to b«di awn from, the lew*
the chauce that any particular individual will be draw n.
It is the personal interest of every enrolled man, that
jhe quotaiu which be is concerned shall not bo made too
large, and that his own chance for draft r hall not be un
justly increased; both these objects will be attained if
ail parties will aid in striking out the wrong nauiM and
putting in the right ones. Especially in this the inter
e-t of those drafted men who by putting in Substitutes
themselves liable to draft, have secpred ex< mptioii which
by the terms of the Law holds go.nl only until thepre#-
eut Enrollment is exhausted in their sub-districts. Mon
who are over 45 years of age. and iu consequence excused
by Law from the performance of duty iu the field, owe it
to the cause and the country to take a zealous and active
part in the correction of the Enrollment LUts.a military
service of the first importance. The Law requires that
the quotai shall beaes'gued iu proportion to the euroll
me|it, aud the fail nee* and just ice of this mode of defer
miurng the amount of military service due from each
aud every section «-f the country, cannot be doubted if
the enrollment is made as nearly perfect as it is practi
cable, to make it. The amount of service duet" the
Nation from every Town or County, is thus laid fairly
and plainly before the citizens, ami it is expected that a
higher motive than a selfish interest'will prompt all to
do their share in perfecting the enrollment, and securing
ajust and efficient execution of thalaw*(ur raising troops,
whenever it becomes necosMvy to apply them.
