Tho circumference hich it embraced was such as to redder the most desperate efforts of our entire fire brigade of com parative insignificance. '1 he regiments from the Race Course caaio down at the double quick to the fcuroing Wards, and co-operated most earnestly and indefatigably in the labors of our undaunted firecien. Rut still the Northeastern gale "fanned the fire with its desolating breath, and the people began almost to despair of checking the progress of the disaster. From the precincts of -Market, East Ray and State streets, the conflagration had now reached Meeting and Queen Streets. The terror of the families (in many cases without their usual protector, owing to the military exigencies of Abe times) was contagious, and much farther up into the city the work of picking up valuables and getting ready to desert their homesteads became general. The fire began in Russell A Co.'sSash and Rlind Factory, at the foot of Ilasell Street, and the re port though a vapue one is. th.it it appeared in three places at the fame time. Crossing to the other side of llascll Street, it burned Cameron & .'o.'s immense Machine Shops and, under the im pulse acquired at that point and the stiff 'breeze from the North-east, without a sufficient supply nf water it become totally unmanageable, and raijed I l. .... . .1 1 .lr ii "uui mt nope oi oeing aoie to arre-t it, ex cept at certain straetic points.

Rrown being among the lattter. CtiJT It is stated in Richmond on ?ood authori ty, that Col. Henry Heath, of Virginia, has been placed in command of the department of Missouri and Arkansas, leaving Generals Price and McCul loch in their present positions. It is stated confidently that a jealousy and bad feeling which has sprung up between Generals Ren. McCulIoch and Sterling Price is the cause of appointing a new commander in-chief in Missou ri. For the first time, Missouri is a part of the Confederacy, and the military appointments there are under the control of the Confederate Govern ment, and if Price were preferred to McCulIoch or itici.unocn to I'nce, the eHect would be injurious in the extreme.

Some of these thieving adventurers have lately made several visits to Port Royal, with the hope of securing rich plunder, but they were foiled and disappointed iu their object by the timely steps taken to thwart them iu their purposes. The prospects of paying the cost of their grand expedi tion by the sale of our cotton has been nipped in the bud. They had visited various plantations around Port Royal, and already commenced the removal or tl.e seed cotton. We learn from a friend that on Wednesday night a mounted detachment of the ReauKm ar tillery, under their Captain, amounting to thirty two men, passed over to the island, visited Heau fort, whose utter desolation and abandonment was relieved only by the uresence of one liirht and tho barking of a dog. There were no signs of the except, pcrhars. those of Henrv Gcrtds nnd tho Misses Pinckney. Crossing Market street, the fire extended down East Ray to Cumberland street, and thence across to the Mills House, taking, in its way, the Circular Church, Institute Hall, the Charleston Theatre, all the buildings upon King street, from Clifford street up to within a few doors of Rroad street. Crossing King street, the flames approached the rear of the Cathedral, the Unitarian and the English Lutheran churches. In the lower part of the city, the fire has done Its work in thorough style. Nothing dot remains to mark where it has passed, save smouldering piles of cinders and gaunt and smoking walls and chimneys. The Charleston Hotel is safe, and Hayne street, too. The wind pwept the danger off, further to the South. Although the fire raged on three sides of the Mills House, that fine struc ture did not catch. The Theatre, Llwvds Coach Factory, opposite, the Express Office, the old Executive building, and all tho houses between Rooks on hand is more abundant than evpr bpforn The publication under the patronage of the House have suffered materially by the war. The report, on the whole, is regarded as very cheering under the circumstances. The place fixed for the meeting of next Con ference was Raleigh. APPOINTMENTS. R-iLEK.n DrsTRicT Wm. Barringer, P. E.

Let them learn from th Ihrht nf The Virginia Salt Works. Several wag ons passed through this place, last week, on their return from the Salines near Abingdon, Va., with moderate loads of salt, which was bought for 75 cents per bushel. They reported to us, that there were left waiting at the Works, 1200 wagons, and many of them would hae to remain until after Christmas, before they could be served; although the quantity furnished daily is about 2.500 bush els. It is not our opinion, that it would be advisa ble for others, in this section, to look to this source for salt, this winter, if they can get it elsewhere, in time to save their pork. The roads are said to be in very bad condition. Stafesville Express. 9 Proposed Exchange of Prisoners Gen. McClellan is understood to have made the most urgent representations to President Lincoln, in favor of a regular and systematic exchanpe of prisoners, demonstrating that the interest of the country, no less than those of the army, to say nothing of thedictates of humanity, require this.

SALT. IIarrisburg, Cabarrus Co., X. C Mr Editor: Sir As the country is so much cited as to procuring that indispensable inredie salt, that plays such an important part iQ tu1' economy of life, I wish to call the attention of n whom it may concern" that in all probability th is an abundance of it in the county of Union C. The facts are these: About 16 miles f Charlotte, on the Charlotte and Wilmington p-? road, there is a fountain which has poured enough of the saline material to have salted the pork that will be slaughtered this year. T) vid Phifcr owned this tract of laud. The w was so strongly impregnated with the saline m.f." u..f t y, ;,i;..;...i .k.T. 1: 1 .i. . . UJuer .nub hjg luuiiiuum nidi uvuu upou me place TonU go and procure some of the water and put it ttD her fresh meat which would season it as well the best Liverpool salt. Mr Phifcr being a tn"" of wealth engaged a man to bore one hundred f deep, which was done. The hole was four inch in diameter and the watet flowed in abundj' for years. Whether it is still running or not th writer does not know. Would it not be well' f some of our chemists to pass down that war? T do not know whether Prof. E:iin.qjis bas er had any knowledge of the fact, or whether h r -, ' - ever was in that county. S0IIL'M TO THE ASSESSORS OP THE STATE Goldsboho', Nov. 29, 1SG1. Gentlemen: lor the purpose of burin a uni formity in the value of the Slaves and other propl ertyofthe State, I propose that a meeting be held in the town of Goldsboro, on the 20th day of December, and th.it the Board of Assessor! of each county appoint one of their number as a delegate to represent theui in said meeting. Where it is out of the power of the de!cKtta so appointed to attend, if he will address me by letter giving nie the average value nf Sine. ;n k.: .- . . . V.vp.. 1,1 Uj county, and also the views of the Board of Asses. sors ior nis county in regard to the value of Ileal Estate as compared with the assessment nf 18q for State purroses, I will lav the same bef.i .,- a 1 - v tug meeting, so that a full and free interchange of opinions may be had throughout the State. A single thought upon the subject will I am sure, convince every mind of the propriety of the course suggested. Without some such concert of action, there will necessarily be great inequality iu the assessment of the property of the State. I would recommend lo the Assistant Tax Col lectors in the State to defer making out their Tax Books until alter said meeting. . Hoping that the foregoing proposition will meet with a favorable response, I remain, Very Respectfully, yours, &c. WM. K. LANE, Chief Tax Collector for the State of N. 0. The Confederate Steamer NAsnviLM We have already published a brief announcement of the arrival of the C. S. steamer Nashville at Southampton, England, the fact having been com municated officially to President Davis. We now have a full confirmation of the news, by the lust European steamers. She reached Southaumtim on the 21st of November, with the '"rebel" flag flying. On her vovajre out she fell in with the American ship "Harvey Birch," from Havre, bound to New York, and after tkinr the artain and crew on board the steamer, set fin t. th nrim and burned her to the water's edge. The "pri soners" were set at liberty on their arriva at Southampton. The Nashville is commanded Yj Copt. Robert B. Pegran, C. S. N. It is stated that he communicated with Mr Yancev directlv after his arrival at the British nort. A leading abolition paper of New York intimates that the tkT .-. .. . - iasiivine is "Utting out at Southampton, and may, very possibly, wavlav and canture the team. ship Arago, making captives of Uen. Scott, Arch- Disnop Hughes, and lhurlow Weed. Colonel Peyton was on board the Nashville on a mission from North Carolina, and, with Com- manaer 1'cgram, haa gone to London. . - - ...
