From the Batesville Balance—Extra,16th inst.
Terrible Conflagration—Great Destruc
tion of Property—Batesville Insti
tute in Ruins—Loss, $50,000!!
Between one and two o’clock, the store
house on the corner of Main and Brigde
streets, occupied by Messrs. Ray & Au- i
digier, was discovered to be on five, and i
tlie flames so far advanced that it was im
possioie 10 save u, noiwnnsiauumg me i
vigorous efforts of a large number of. the
citizens, who very soon collected after the .1
alarm was given. i
The dwelling house of Mr. VV. VV.
Lewis, in connection with which where <
the Register’s office, State Land Agent’s I
office, and the Post-office, were next to i
take fire. As it was found impossible to
stop the progress of the flames in this build- 1
mg, the efforts the citizens were imtne- t
dlately energetically directed to saving the
household furniture of Mr. Lewis, the 1
books and papers of the Land office, and s
the post office. These were all saved,
and all other property, with the exception 1
of three gold watches, and a lew other ar- 1
tides that were not of much importance, f
and the devouring element was necessaily \
left to its work of devastation. c
Adjoining Mr. Lewis’ house was the t
Batesville Institute, the pride of Butesville,
a splendid and costly building just finished, r
ind containing the Masonic Hall, recently (
so richly furnished and dedicated with im
posing ceremonies.
Scarcely had the flames spread over the t
whole of Mr. Lewis’ house, before they ]
were communicated to the Institute, and (
spread with such rapidity arid fury that
hey Could not be arrested. The Institute I
being beyond hope, the attention of the
citizens was directed to other citizen’s (
Buildings, and by the utmost exertion the
devastating flames were prevented from 1
spreading further. 1
The losses, from what we have been 1
able to learn, are about as follows:
Mr. E. T. Burr, who owned the cor- 1
aer house occupied by Messrs. Ray & 1
:Vudigier, $800, no insurance. Messrs.
Ray & Audiger $1,500, fully insured. 1
Mr. VV. VV. Lewis, about $2,500 no in- 1
surance. Batesville Institute and Mason- t
c Lodge, $2,500, no insurance. Messrs, t
VV. Byers & Son, whose choice law office, <
was on the second floor of the institute, t
ost in law books, furniture and papers, s
ibout $2,000, no insurance. Thos. Cox, I
Esq., law office in the same building, lost
n law and miscellaneous books and pa- 1
Bers, $3,500. The Masonic Fraternity 1
ost most of their valuable furniture, re- f
Jaffa, etc. The Blue Lodge, also lost t

This is, indeed, a heavy blow upon i
Batesville, and heavier still upon the in- t
lividuals on whom the terrible calamity (
ell directly. The destruction of the In
>litute is regaided as a general calamity;
or every citizen of Batesville regarded it s
is something to be proud of and feels the ]
oss us if he were directly damaged.
The Masonic Fraternity, who had ex
jended a large sum in decorating and 5
urnishing their Hull, making it the first
n every respect in this State, must be <
greatly distressed at their irreparable loss, s
The loss from the burning of the Insti- |
ute falls chiefly on Messrs. Byers &, t
Ruddeli, who were the principal stock- i
rolders. Two more worthy and valuable t
jnd public spirited citizens could not have
suffered. 1
Batesville has never suffered from fire i
cefore, and we hope to be spared the mel- t
uicholy duty of ever recording a similar i
calamity in our midst. s
The energy of those who have lost, will 1
not, we trust, be dampened; but we hope i
:o see the rubbish soon cleared away, and •
new buildings standing up in place of the •
aid ones. We hear that this will probably ‘
be done.
Bad Foundation,—A correspondent
of the National Intelligencer attributes the
anhealthiness of New Orleans to the
character of the ground upon which it is
built. Here is an extract which is inter
esting to geologists: ,
That great city is built upon a forest of ■
-.ypress l The situation of the place is so i
remarkable and peculiar that it cannot es- ■
cape one’s attention. It is on an alluvial .
plain, of recent geological formation, and
of an unknown age and depth. An at- i
tempt, made here some time ago, revealed
the fact that, for six hundred feet, at least, :
the same formation was obtained. Rows i
upon rows of the stumps of cypress have
been found growing over each other ex
actly superimposed, each of which layers
must have taken a thousand years to form. |
Dr. Bennet Dowler, the able editor of the i
Medical Journal, of New Orleans, in
formed me that he himself had observed ,
four layers of these cypress stumps within i
the limits of the city. !
