Conflagrations.

Leavenworth, Dec. 17.

--A portion of the town of Platte City, Missouri, including the Court-House and Post-Office, was destroyed by fire last night. It was set on fire about 1 o'clock by the rebels, but the flames were suppressed by the troops under Col. Morgan. At 4 o'clock the town was again successfully fired. The county records were saved, but the office was destroyed. Many arrests were made, including some of S. Gordon's Guerilla Band and one of Price's Captains.
