corded in history. In January l'2X, 15,000 houses were destroyed by fire in Canton, and five hundred lives were lost. At the great fire in Cairo, in 1S'.21,(0J0 men lost their lives by the explosion of a uiagaizine. In Constantinople in 177, a lire destroyed 2000 houses another fire, in 172, consumed 40,(i00 houses with one or two exceptions, the greatest fire of which we have any account. Aain in 17?, a fire destroyed 700 houses in 17!i4, 10,( CO were destroyed. At several fires during the year 1701, upwards of 20,000 houses were consumed in that city. 1816,12.000 notices and SOOO stores were consumed. Several thousand houses were also burnt in 1S1H. And so late as the year 182, a fire in that city consumed 12,000 houses and 400 persons lost their lives. About one third of Copenhagen was destroyed in 1705. At the conflagration of Kingston, Jamaica, property to the amount of $2,000,000 was destroyed. In IS 1 1 , Koniugsberg, in Prussia, was visited by a lire which destroyed 278 buildings, loss of pro perty estimated at 510,000,000. At a fire lives. On in London, 1242, 2000 persons lost their Sept. 2d, IGG6, occurred the memora-j ble 'Great fire m London," which destroyed one hundred and thirteen thonsond houses, the citv gates, Guildhall, and f-'G churches. The fire raged four days, and the ruinscovered 4"(5 acres. 1010. GOO houses were burnt. In 1704, G:?0 houses were destroyed, including an East India warehouse, containing .'!5,00O bags of saltpetre the whole loss was estimated at 4 or $5,000,000. New York was visited by a fire in 177G, which destroyed about I0(0 houses. This happened soon after the city was taken possession of by the Itritish, 200 houses were destroyed in 1 (N. In 1!H, GO or 70 houses were destroyed at Maiden Lane. 100 houses wer destroyed on Duane and Chatham streets in lil. I'arimaribo was nearly conrumed in l'-'Zl. Lots 20,000,000 gilders. Petersburg. Russia, in 170, sustained damages by fire to the amount of 2,000,000 rubles. In Nov. of the same year, 11,000 houses were destroyed by a fire occasioned by lightning. In 1790. large magazine of naval stores, and about 100 vessel in the harbor were destroyed. Petersburg, in Virginia, was nearly dstroyed by fire in 1701, and since then has been twice reduced to ashes. The Orphan Asylum in Philadelphia .-a burnt during a severe cold night in and 2: of the or phans perished in the flames. In Portsmouth N. II. W0 houses wr ivirnt in 1S02. In Richmond, Va., 10O ho-isrs wer burnt in 17(5. The theatre at lht plac burnt in 111, and 70 persons, among them the governor of the state perished in the flames. At Warradin, in Croatia, in 170, lirccHiumed 000 houses. I At Moscow, in Russia, "0,000 housee were destroveu bv fire in li-;9, 1 he total destruction of that city by fire in 18i2, to arrest the progress i Aapoleon, is familiar to all. From these few hasty references it will be seen that although New York, and indeed the whole country, has suffered to an immense extent, still like calamities have visited other cities. It must not be supposed, however, where such vast numbers of houses have been burnt, as mentioned above, that the loss was as srreat in proportion, as that sustained in New York. On thecontrary, in many cases, it is probable that the houses were small, of slight structure, and comparatively valueless. Yet some of these fires must hav e been as ruinous and desolating in their effects, as the one which tia now filled the city and country with sadness. Latest from Florida. "S. .Vary" Geo., Feb. 10. It is asserted here on good authority that the famous warrior chief, Powell, w as sometime since at the agencv. w here for some misdemeanor the agent, (Jen. Willey Thompson, placed him in irons for several days." On releasing him, Gen. Thompson gave him a rifle, and a reconciliation apparently took place. When (Jen. Thompson was lately shot in tne vicinity of the fortification at the agency, it is supposed that one of the fifteen balls was discharged Irom tlie same riue. "There is no doubt that General Thompson fell a victim to his misplaced confidence in the sincerity of Indian faith; and perhaps most of our present troubles have arisen from the same source." Correspondence of the .N'n. Int. St. Augustine Feb. 15. Isidan Devastations. The whole of the country south of St. Augustione lias been laid waste during the past week, and not a building of and value ieft standing. There is not a single house now remaining between this city and Cape Florida, a distance of 250 miles; all, all, have been burnt to the ground. On Sunday morning last, a dense smoke w as seen in the south, in the direction of Hulowville, and it was conjectured that the buildings on that plantation were in flames, and it was known that there were none but Indians in that direction. The smoke was seen in the same direction ot. Tuesday. On Thursday, it was reported that General Hernandez's houses at St. Joseph's w ere on fire, and in the afternoon this report w as confirmed by twoofGcneral Hernandez's negroes, who stated that they had rode from MalaComprato St. Joseph's that morning, and came within a quarter of a mile of the house- and had a full view of the burning buildings. They state the houses to have been fired about 7 o'clock that morning, and that every house except the corn-house was burning at th'i time they w ere there. The Indians had posted sentinels at some distance from the houses, while the maine body were dancing around the fire. The negroes can give us no correct idea as to the number of the Indians, but say that there was a large crowd of them The plantation of Col. James Williams was also set fire to and destroyed at the same time. Mr. Dupont's plantation of Huen Retiro is also destroyed. There now remains no doubtof the destruction of Hulowville. It is the opoinion of many that after the battle at Dunlawton the Indians precured a large reinforcement, and returned to attack Hulowville. The amount of property destroyed is immense, at Hulowville alone, the buildings are said to have cost 50,000 dollars. The property destroyed during the patt week, on these plantations, cannot be less that 200,000 A Point of Order.

For the American. FRANKLIN COUNTY LIHKAKY. I have witnessed w ith unmingled satifnetion the effort that lias been made for the establishment of a circulating library in the town of Hrookville, pursuant to the act of the incorporation passed by the General Assembly of Indiana during the session of IS4. hile the improvement ot the means of increasing the wealth of the eitizens of Franklin Co. meets with such decided approbation, it is pleasing to learn that he cause of intellectual improvement is not entirely neglected. The citizens of Indiana have from the earliest period of their history manifested a deep interest lor the cause of education and general literature. The Constitution of the State provides that "the General Assembly shall, from time to time, pass such laws as shall he calculated to encourage intellectual and scietitifical improvement and that it shall he the duty of the general assembly, as ciicumstances will permit, to provide by law for a general system of education .tseending in a regu lar gradation from township schools to a State university, wherein tuition shall be gratis and equally open to all: and for the promotion of such salutary end, that the money that shall he paid as an equivalent by persons exempt from militia duty, shall he exclusively, and in equal proportion, appl.ed to the support of County seminaries, and that all tineiaforesaid forthe breach of any of the penal laws shall be applied to the seminaries also." Under these provisions of our excellent constitution, seminaries have been established in all of the counties of the State w hich contain any reasonable number of inhabitants, and permanent and in many cases tasteful buildings erected for the purpose. In those counties where there have been numerous infractions of the penal code, these institutions have been liberally supported by the tines paid thus makingthe penalty of offences a double safeguard of the security of the community, lirl by the punishment of tlie offender and afterwards by the dissemination of virtuous know ledge, the latter being by far the best means of correction. The Legislature, acting under the constitution has manifested its solicitude for the dissemination of education by appropriating a part of the profits of the State Hank, and in the recent ad valorem hill a portion of the county revenue to this purpose; and popular approbation has fully sanctioned these measures. The constitution of Indiana contains the additional provision, "that the general assembly tit the time they lay off a new county shall cause at least ten per cent, to be reserved out of the proceeds of the sale of town lots ih the seat of justice of the county, for the use of a pablic library of such county, and at the same session shall incorporate a library company, under such rates and regulations as will best secure its permanence and extend its benefits. In accordance with this provision, in all the counties organized since 1SI0, public libraries have been ei-tablished . and supported, and t he citizens blessed with the diffusion of knowledge, and intellectual amusement, so dillicult of attainment in the remote and recently uncultivated regions of the West. The County of Franklin not having the benefit of this provision, the only means by w hich the w ant of it can be supplied, is by individual subscriptions to the stock of the company which has been incorporated for this purpose. Every citizen of Indiana must feel proud, when he thinks of the support which the representatives of the people have given to the cause of intelectual improvement, by the constitutional and legislative provisions which 1 have named; and it will soon be learned whether this feeling is pure iV deep enough to support the measure w hich is now in agitation for the further advancement and support of Literature in our County. The scheme 1 am satistied is entirely practicable. Five dollars only are required to entitle an individual to a share in the capital stock of the company, which gives a right to a proportion of all the benefits of the institution, direct and cohiteral. The Tow n of Hrookville has given a liberal support to the measure, and if answered by a subscription on the part of the farmers, with their usual liberality, the permanent establishment among us of a most useful institution will he secured. It is hoped that subscriptions will be received from the most distai. t parts of the County; as the inconvenience of com ng to Hrookville may he in a measure obviated, by the appointment of agents in the different neighbourhoods, to w hom books may be given as ordered and by them distributed: The more widely hooks are circulated, and the greater the nmoin t of the capital stock of the company, the more useful will the institution be both to the stockholders and to the community. A small collection of books has been in public circulation in one neighborhood of the County for the last few years; anil any one who is acquainted with the character of the populationof that district, both male and female, must give evidence to the i ronrietv of their morals, and the cultivation of their minds. Whether the circulation of books among them be the cause or whether it be the consequence, of their moral and mental culture; itisin either case a strong reason for others to follow their exmple to extend and improve it. The people of Vincennes in this State have experienced the benefits of an institution similar to the one w hich we propose to establish. During the time when this District of couetry was under territorial government General Harrison with a few others of the borough of Vincennes, established a small circulating library, and the citizens perceivingits utility, have sustained and enlarged it, and extended its circulation, until it has attained a size and character that is equalled by few collections of books in the West. That Library association lias given a literary distinction to Vincennes and to Knox County truly enviable. The commencement of the Whitewater Canal must draw to the fertile valley of the beautiful river which gives name to this improvement a vast increase of population. In her rich soil, extensive water power, and general healthiness. Franklin Co. offers ae many inducements to the emigrant as any part f the adjacent country. If in addition to these w e can have the satisfaction of pointing the stranger to a Library in the County witb its shelves tilled with workscalculatedtoextendthe intelligence and morality of those who peruse them: such stranger being a person of intelligence himself.will see at once that by taking his residence amorg us. he will have for his neighbours and associates.some persons at least of liberal minds ami mild and courteous manners, which are the invariable companions of pure intelligence. Will not every intelligent citizen of Franklin Co. w ho has the means, subscribe to the stock of this company, to secure the best interests, present and future, of the place of his residence; to draw to it an intelligent population; to improve and adorn that society, whose intercourse, as it is virtuous or vicioue,"i to blew or to curee bira nd bis posterity.
