--The Petersburg Express learns from a gentleman who arrived there Tuesday that, when be passed through Warsaw on Monday morning, that town was in flames, an that the probabilities were not a building would escape the fury of the element. The fire occurred at a late hour Sunday night in a large stable owned by the proprietors of the stage line running between Warsaw and Fayetteville, and was purely accidental. The large hotel and all the other buildings in the place were ablaze when its informant passed. Warsaw is a thriving village of Dublin county, N. C., and situated directly on the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, twenty-nine miles from Goldsboro', and fifty-five from Wilmington. It was partially destroyed late in the year 1862 by a party of Yankee raiders who sallied out from Newbern.
