Tho Yazoo Democrat Of the 10th hinstssays:-
A fire broke out in Benton on Monday morning
last, between one and two O'Clock, and laid the
most valuable portion Of the town in ashes. Il
caught ia one Of The groceries and burnt in both
directions until both groceries, the law Offices
OF Mr.. Holt, Judge BURNS, Judge Battaile, Maj
Mltchie and VIM. Battaile Esq with several
other buildings were all consumed. All these
buildings were entirely Of wooden materials
and built close against each other 50 that they
were all Immediately in one blaze. An hour
and half after the first appearance Of The fire
they were all in ashes.-Ihe heaviest loss
has fallen upon our esteemed and worthy friend
Judge Battaile, his well selected and extensive
law library was all consumed. This loss Is to be
deeply regretted; not only in a pecuniary point
Of view bur owing to its character-the Judge
had spared neither labor nor expence in pro-
curing every valuable work that issued Rom
the press Other members Of fthesbar also lost
many oftheir books and papers
