World writes:— The atrocities committed are almost beyond belief, and bat for the fact that so many men con firm the stories, one could scarcely credit them. One man, already badly injured, asked of a rebel who was aiming at him, tis spare his life. .6 No, curse you!" he exclaimed, "you fight with niggers," and forthwith discharged two more balls into him. A negro was made to assist in digging a pit 'to bury the dead in, and was him self cast in with others and buried. Five are known to have been interred alive, of these, two scratched their way out and are now alive in the hospital. Daniel Tyler, a negro, was shot three times and struck on the head with a musket, knocking his eye out; afterward he was buried but dug himself out. Robert Hall, a negro boy, was lying in bed in the hospital at the fort, sick and helpless, when a rebel came in and cut him with his sabre; three cuts went through his scalp, cleaving the skull and exposing the brain. The boy threw up his left arm to ward ore blow, and, in doing so. lost a part of his hand. Ell Cothell, a negro corporal, was shot three times after he had surrendered. William Jordan, as negro was shot four times and Icet a leg. Most of the white soldiers were wounded four or five times; the wounds are severe, but the men are doing well and are in good spirits. Sergeant W. P. Walker received four wounds. and was robbed of everything valuable about his person. D. W. Harrison was shot in three places and robbed.of ninety-seven dollars and a silver watch. James Wall was wounded twice and robbed. James M. Taylor and Wiley Robinson, a boy, have four wounds each. The former was struck in the face with a musket. This wholesale murder was sanctioned by al- Most all of the rebel officers; and Gen. Chalmers more especially. A line officer, however, who was not so lost to all the feelings of humanity, ex erted himself to stop the -slaughter by waiving his handkerchief and calling his -men away. One of the wounded believes his life was saved in this manner. He said that a rebel brought him a basin of water to drink, and two of them remained with him during the night. General Forrest is reported to have withdrawn with his force before the action ended, and the butchery of so many men was in consequence of the indifference of General Olutk mers. HORIIIIILB OATASTROPaa. —On Friday night last :a fire broke out in a house occupied by a family named McMann, in Tarport, Pa. The parents occupied one room, sad four children another. The flames spread before the family awoke. Oil awaking, the [father attempted to rescue one of the children, but was suffocated before leaving the house. and, with the child, was burned. The mother attempted to rouse the other children, but could not rescue them, and, with them, was suffocated. Thus the whole family of sin. were burned with the building. BURNED IN Erarov.—The Union men of East Baltimore expressed their indignation for Repre sentative Harris last night by burning Wm in of. OUR WHO LE COUNTRY Tax Jawisa P.Lasovzs.—Last evening which corresponds with the 14th day of the Jew ishlmonth Niacin, commenced the feast of pass over; one of the most important, especially with regard to its dietary regulations, of all the Hebrew holy days. The festival is instituted to commemo rate the deliverance of the children of lambi from the land of Egypt. It lakes its name from the fast that when the Angel of the Lord was smiting the first-Vora in every Egyptain house, passed over" the residences of the Israelites. A. peon- Rarity of this festival is the eating of Matzoth, or unleavened bread, which is done to commemorate an incident in the hurried departure of the Israel ites by which the dough which they carried across their shoulders was baked in the sun while they traveled. Prom this circumstance arises the in junction forbidding the use of anything leavened during eight days. the Passover. The festival continues for ZANE STREET GIRLS' GRAXIIIAR SCHOOL.— The lovers of good music have a rich rest in store in the concert of the Zane Street Girls' Grammar School. Three yeers ago, on the breaking out of the rebellion, the first Concert in aid of soldiers' families was Riven by this school. It was one of the most brilliant ovations ever witnessed in our city. Hundreds went away unable to obtain ad mittance even to the'house, or to get a glimpse of the stage. 1 The reputation of this school always draws a crowd, so we would advise all to secure seats early. PASSAGE or Taoops.—The 17th Vermont regiment, Lientenant-Colonel Cummings com manding, and the anti Maine regiment, Lienten" ant-Colonel Height, passed through the pity oaths way South yesterday, and were entertained . at the Volunteer Refreshment Saloom His Naux.—The name of the man found drowned in a pond at Seventeenth and Federal atreeta yeaterday morning was Jeremiah MGR*.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN THE FIFTEENTH WARD—AN EXTENSIVE CANDLE - MANUFACTORY EuuNau..e.-Yesterday afternoon, shortly after 3 o' clock, a fire broke out in the large three-story brick building at the southeast corner of Twenty third and Hamilton streets • This building was owned by 0 H. Grant & cto., and was occupied by that firm for the manufacture of adamantine candles and lard oil. The establishment, consisted of a main building fifty by one hundred feet., and two wings of eighty by sixty feet each. The fire originated in the still room in the right wing, and was caused by the boiling over of a still. The flames were kept under for some twenty minutes by the workmen. and an engine was sent fur, but before the apparatus could be got upon the grouncl, the fire had gained too much headway, and owing to the combustible nature of the contents, the whole structure was soon enveloped in flames. The fire burned fiercely for several hours and was not entirely subdued until eight or nine o' clock last night. The factory was totally de stroyed. In the buildings were about forty thous and pounds of manufactured material, moulded and ready to mould, and about a hundred and fifty thousand pounds of raw material. The most of the lard oil was rolled out and was saved. A large quantity of palm oil had just i'een received, but was in the. yard and thus escaped the flames. The firm was largely engaged In the manufacture of candles for the Cilifornie trade. About 400 boxes were made per day, and the shipments to the Pacific coast numbered 18, 000 boxes per month. Eighty persons, about twenty of whom were women were employed upon the premiegs. Some of the surrounding properties were in imminent danger from the heat of the conflagration, bat were saved through the exertions of the firemen who succeeded In confining the flames to the cendle manufactory, notwithstanding there was rather a scanty supply of water. The cotton mill of S.:oft A. McClure on the northeast corner of Twenty-third and Hamilton streets took fire, but the flames were speedily extingtuitied. The extensive mill of mlgle & Bowman on the southwest corner was threatened several times but escaped injury. The lose of Messrs. Grant & Co. cannot be defi nitely ascertained as yet It will not be less than 075,1 , U0 however. The principal loss sustained by the firm will be by the puterreption of their business. Preparations are already being made to rebuild the establishment. The insurance upon the building, machinery and stock amounts to 545.000, distributed among the following com panies: American Fire Ins.

SHOCKING ACCIDENS.—A little boy naraed Joseph Sanders, aged seven years, was run over by a Green and Coates street car, at Eighth and Spruce streets, between four and five o'ciock yesterday afternoon. He was crossing the street at the time, and got bewildered by a wagon going one direction and the car in another way. One wheel passed over his left leg causing a compound fracture, makieg amputation necessary. The little fellow was taken it to the Pennsylvania Hospi,al, and is not expected to survive. The cars on Eighth street are driven at a very daagerous rate of speed from Pine street to 'Walnut, and it is rather fortu nate that more accide,nts do not happen. On, a few weeks since a man was killed by a car on this line in the same neighborhood. Two lines use Eighth street, and the object of the fest driving is to get ahead of the car of the opposition line which runs around Walnut street: After passing the latter street, the cars are driven at a snail's pace, with several minutes' stoppage at Chestnut street, until Race street is reached. The fast driving is dangerous and the slow rate is exceedingly annoy lag to passengers. The officers of both companies should immediately take measures to remedy these matters. THE BUIOLDLMIS YOB. TEM SAXITAILY FAIR.— Upon Logan Square the buildings for the great Sanitary Fair are progressing finely. Of the eight structures 200 feet in length, six have the frames up, two are nearly covered in, and tour are floored. The building 500 feet long, on Race street, also has the frame up, and is nearly covered in.

The National Union Press (da i ly) made its ap pearam. eat Louisville on the kith inst. ' It is a. MIT and spirited Mumsl of the Unconditional union stamp, filled with everything good, adver tise:Laois excepted. ;We find in it a call fora Union State Conventisu at Louisville on the 25th ofjElay, to choose Delegates to 'me National Union C uNention at Baltimore. - It conttiks also the recent act of the Kentucky . Legislature securing Kentuckians in the 'Union armies their Right Hf huffrage; also, an address to those soidiero trout the Union State Committee, showing' way they ought to vote the Union ti , ket. Cu the main question, the editor of the Union Press is thus ex plicit : • .We are a nation, not a mere confederation of States. 'We cute had nen a confederation or leer rie, and it proved a rope of sand. 'The Con federation,' in Webster's words, "wasin strictness a compact; the States, as States, were parties to it. e had no other General Government But that was found insufficient and inadequa , e to the public exigencies. The people were not satisfied with it, and undertook to establish a better. They undeitook to form a General Government,_ which standen a new basis: not a confederacy, not a league, not a compact between States, but a Constitution; a popular Government, founded its popular election, directly responsible to the people themselves and divided into branches, with pre scribed limits of powers and prescribed duties. They ordained such a Government; they gave it the name of a Constitution.' Thus, . under the guiding providence of Almighty God, the peorle of the United States organized themselves into a' nation. For high and noble ends was it called" into being—.to form a more perfect union, estab lish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defence, promote the general wel fare, and secure the blessings of liberty.' "It hashed a glorious career.' It has exerted a most bete:llcent influence. The hearts of the peo ple in ad countries have turned to it instinctively. Its progress has been viewed with admiration and gratitude. Its continued life is felt by the people to be of infinite importance, not Only to itself, but to the world. Rebellion against the Government of such a nation is treason to the best earthly hopes of the human race. * * *. * "This iniquitous rebellion against the so vereignty of the American people is the work of ambitious men, who have- south to ;destroy our Nationality for the sake of building up an aristo cratic government, with Slavery for its corner stone. That Slavery is the real cause of the rebel lion. the 'cause cat/sans,' we have _no doubt; but practically it matters little-whether it be regarded as cause or occasion. The conspirators, in its interest and for the accomplishment of their nefarious purposes, have sought to rend the Republic asunder: In so using it as a means for destroying the life of the Nation, they have compelled the Nahon to destroy it. Sla.. very is dying; and it was the consummate, strict dal folly of its would-be perpetuators, which ne cessitated the mortal blow. The voice and con science, indeed. of the civilized 'world, had con demned the Slave System, and Emancipationists all over the country earnestly desired, as Washing ton and his compatriots had done, its gradual ex tinction; but, in-spite of voice and -conscience, and human desire, it;might have lived on indefinitely, but for the madness of its friends. "It is dying; its death-times may be fearful ; but die it must. No power cn earth can save it. It becomes wise.men to look at facts and govern themselves accordingly. That Slavery is dying, is a fact ; whetter welcome or unwelcome, still a fact; aid therefore, Vas sooner it dies, the better for all coi cetned. The transition time is the period of uncertainty, trial, dissension and loss. That time over, the institution felt and acknowledged to be cead, men, white and black, will adapt them selves to the new order of things ; hope-inspired industry will revive ; the laws which regulate the demand and supply of labor will assert their sway; and a briehter day will dawn upon the enfran chised nation." ENLISTMENT ON SLAVES IN MARYLAND Col. S. M. Bowman came to-day, a shadow of his former self, worn nearly to death in the vast labor of enlisting every male slave in Maryland of lighting age and qualifications. He has cleaned "M" Maryland" out, and knocked Bishop Hop kinss divine institution into limbo. He raised, in forty days, two full regiments of , as fine black troops as can be found on the earth. He left no sls'es fit for military duty in Megyland. He over ran with his squads every county; they visited al most every farm. . The boats ran up every stream until masters were obliged to bide their slaves in the woods, con ceal them in boats, and con line them In jails anti houses. He opened the jails .even. He has not drawn one dollar from the Treasury, and his 3,000 black troops have not cost the Government five per cent of what the same number of white troops cost But in doing this work he laid aside all tyle, all form and ceremony, went laic>. negro churches nights, Sundays, whenever he could get an audience, and always addressed them on this, the great day of their salvation. Bowman is a Western jury lawyer, and he plead this case with the negroes of Maryland almost in divilinally. His hours of labor were from BA. M., to 11 - P. M.

OIL EXCrITIEFsAT ONCE FREN CREEL The oil fever has extended to French creek, and numerous sales of territory along that stream are reported. The Meadville. Journal alluding to the matter, says: • week the Shaw farm at ihaw•s Landing was sold for 87,000. Another farm, a short distance below, also belonging to Mr. Shaw and known as the "llilbronner farm," was sold for 810,000. The party purchasing is thoroughly posted in oil matters, and is_ familiar with the whcle valley, as well as with the oil territory on Oil creek, and is confident that the prospects for oil on French creek are very bright. There is no reason to doubt this. The show of oil from the wells a few miles above Franklin, is very profitable already, and territory in that neighborhood is eagerly sought after. The fact that oil is abundance is procured slang the lower part of the creek, very- clearly indicates that it exists all along the creek, and its development depends entirely upon the enterprise bestowed in exploring. At any rate, shrewd and experienced operators have been attracted to this region, and are investing largely, with the fullest confidence that the valley abounds with oil." PERSONAL On Tuesday E. E. Morgan died at his residence in New Ydrk city, in his 581 b year. Capt Morgaa was a self-made man.

The ball was extri cated, and the Colonel, at last accounts, was im proving finely. Colonel Loomis is Chief of Artil lery in Tennessee, his headquarters being at Nash ville. Edward G.
