HE CONFLAGRATION AT gm , TON, CONN. THE BURNT STEAMER COM- MONWEALTH. THE LOSS A MILLION AND A HALF. ]Froni the N, Y. World, of this Morning.] About 1 o'clock on yesterday morning the - watchmen and night hands employed at the depot at Groton, Connecticut, were startled by the sudden appearance of flames in the vicinity of a sleeping room of the depot. As no fire was ever made for any purpose in that part of the building, several of the men who x perceived the flames first gave the alarm and in a few minutes all the hands were aroused from their beds. Ef forts were immediately made to eltinguish the flames bythrowing buckets of water on them; but the fire continued to gain in extent, and raged so furiously, leaping high into the air, and licking with their forked tongues every portion of wood work in. the "vicinity of the depot, that it was found im possible to overcome the fiery element. Finding their endeavors to quench the flames useless, the men turned their atten tion to saving the outbuildings in the vicin ity, by keeping them constantly-wet -with water. In addition, engines were soon on the spot, and the flames were, in a short time, confined to but one portion of the vast depot. The Commonwealth was, at the time of the fire, lying at the foot of the wharf of which the depot is a part. She had just arrived from New York, with a fall cargo of freight for Boston, and quite a number of passengers had alread.y engaged their passages and berths. Fortunately, how ever, none of them happened to be on board at the time of the fire, otherwise, so fierce and rapid were the flames in their progress, we might, in all probability, have to record the intelligence of another terrible loss of life by fire. The engines had, for some time, confined the fire to one portion of the building, but a fresh breeze suddenly springing up, all the efforts of the firemen and employes of the depot to save it from total destruction' ware unavailing, and in the twinkling of an eye, the flames had en veloped the whole structure, and running along the wharf, wrapped the bow of the Commonwealth in a sweet of fire that shot high up into the heavens and curled around her decks, roaring and crackling like some fierce beast of prey. The tide was low at the hour of the outbreaking of the fire, and loaded down with an immense quantity of freight, it was found impossible to shove her out into the stream, and she was there fore left to her fate. In an hour's time she was burned to the water's edge. So all destructive and rapid in its headway was the fire, that but little time was afforded the crew to save anything, and with the ex ception of sundry articles of attire which were seized by the employes on the mo ment of • the alarm, everything was con sumed and destroyed. Several had to jump overboard and swim ashore in order to save their lives. The Commonwealth was built in 18.55 for the Norwich and 'New London Steamboat Company by the firm or Lawrence and Foulkes, of Williamsburg. She was one of the fine specimens of a "floating palace" that was ever built for American waters, and was, we believe, the vessel which drew forth a few years back, from an American correspondent of a leading London paper, a eulogiuni on American steamers and their builders. Her accommodations for passengers were of the most extensive kind, as she bad often carried a thousand pa,ssen gers on a single trip without discomfort or inconvenience. She had one hundred and twenty state rooms, with sleeping berths for six hundred. Like all the lately built steamers of the. Norwich line and Hudson River companies she was heated in cold weather with steam, and lighted by night with gas. Her grand saloon cost alone, it is said, $30,000. Her engines were constructed by the Morgan Iron Works, and thejoiner work on the vessel was done by Reed, Pica & Hamilton, superintended by Samuel Hawkins. At the time she was delivered to the company after completion she cost $250,000. A boat of her description could not be built at the present time of high-priced materials for less than $600,000. About seven years ago the Norwich line sold her to the Stonington line, in the ser vice of which company she has been run ning daily between this port and New Lon don until the day of the disaster. The Plymouth Rock. now on the dry dock undergoing repairs, is to be placed on the line to supply the deficiency in the number of the Company's vessels by the burning of the Commonwealth. She will soon be ready for use, and will make regular trips, as The depot, at Groton, was an immense structure, built with stout timbers firmly braced with iron, and its destruction has caused considerable loss to its owners. It was three hundred and fay feet in length by seventy-five :feet in breadth, and was so constructed as to receive several trains at the same time. All the necessary accommodations for passenger's and freight, such as waiting rooms, baggage and ticketoffices, were fitted up on a grand scale in the building. Leading to the boat, the depot was divided into covered passage ways, through which the passengers from the cars were enabled to reach the boat in all weathers without discomfort. At the time of the fire there were about thirty-four cars in the depot—several baggage and a few passenger—which were entirely de stroyed before they could be drawn out. The insurance on the Commonwealth was exceedingly small, when the immense value of the boat itself, with its luxurious furnish ings and appointments, is taken into con ,sideration. In the construction of the - Vessel her contractors had fitted her up with every means of fire escapes and fire preventives - which their ingenuity could invent, and from this fact her owners never had the :slightest fear of her ever being destroyed by fire, and in their confidence as to her safety from such danger, had her insured but for 480,000 in several city companies. The total loss by the fire—depot, steamer, and freight will not, it is said, fall below $1,500,000 at the lowest computation. Georgia. SAVANNAH, Dec, 2G.—The trial of G. B.

THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1865.---TRIPLE SHEE An Exploit of ahe Shenandoah. e Pacific Commercia/, a neat and lively paper published at Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, relates the following story: A.good story is told by some of the unfortunate victims of the Shenandoah, of the way in which Capt. Green, of the whale ship Nassau was trapped by the pirate, which verifies the old adage that "all is not gold that glitters," Several of the whaling fleet were cruising one fine morning in June, near Behring Straits, patiently waiting for the ice to clear away, so that they might pass through them into the Arctic Ocean, or were looking for what would be better, the spouting of large bow-head whales, when Captain Green spied smoke on the horizon,twenty or thirty miles off, where sevral ships were known to be cruising. Wa ching intently,he observed another and still another column of dense, oily smoke rising, and exclaimed, "By Jove, there's them ships,half a dozen of 'em all a boiling, and we havn't seen a. whale for a week." Instantly the order was given to "'bout ship," and never did gallant tars more cheerily "round in the weather braces" and "square away" than when the Nassau's prow was pointed to join her companions in the luck they were supposed to have met. All hands flew around lively, and every boat was put in trim,with lines, bombs and harpoons, while every man counted on his share of the expected prize, On the good ship sped, dashing the water before her, as if she was bound on along cruise, and nearer and higher the dark columns of smoke curled up to the sky, increasing now to six or eight vessels "boiling down. ' "Good luck for once," shouts an eager boatsteerer; "the sea is alive with b6w heads, only waiting for us:" and, never was there a jollier set than the crew of the ill-fated Nassau when she was bound for that "boiling-in" scrape, for not the slight est suspicion had arisen that the smoke seen was a pirate's work, until they ap proached within a few miles of the scene, and saw the hated craft with her pirate sig nal. It was then too late to escape, for the Shenandoah, with full steam on, headed straight for the stranger craft, and in a few moments had her prize within range of her guns. The rest is briefly told. A boat's crew from the pirate was sent on board, the officers and seamen were ordered off to a bonded ship, a few articles were taken from the vessel, and the torch applied to her hold. In a few moments the Nassau was added to the fleet of whalers " boiling down," mak ing the ninth vessel destroyed on the 28th of June by the pirate ship Shenandoah. The result showed that instead of the Nas sau's boiling down two or three whales that day, the pirate Waddell "boiled her down" to the waters edge. From North Carolina. WILMINGTON, N. C. Dec. 29.—TQk boat accident at the Sound, mentioned yester day, should have been located at Topsail Inlet. The:party mentioned were seen to go out of the Inlet. The boat swamped in the surf, the tide running out strong, with the wind off shore. One man got on the bottom of the boat and drifted out to sea. The others were immediately drowned. The boat floated ashore the next morning empty. The names of the persons lost are unknown. The officers of the Equal Rights' League (colored) publish an address from Wilming ton, disclaiming any secrecy being attached to the organization. They say the object of the League is to secure by political and moral means as far as may be, the repeal of all laws and parts of laws, both State and Na tioanl, that make distinctions on account of color. They add, "This is. our object in all its length and breadth. We, therefore,aspire to the condition and privilege of freemen. Is not this a natural aspiration? Is it not the dictate of self respect? "We ask an opportunity to show our selves worthy to be free, or propose to attain the condition and privileges of fre a men by becoming intelligent, by industry, by virtue, by piety. Is not the object a noble one, worthy of freemen? The means proposed for attaining it are moral and peaceful. We disclaim the remotest inten tion of enforcing our claims by violence. Does any one suggest insurrection, we frown upon him and denounce him." The address closes—"We do pledge our selves to maintain good order. Our arms and our lives, if necessary, are at the service of the Government to quell and crush in surrection. Having done this, we shall demand of the lawful authority protection for our property, schools, presses and churches." The negroes are preparing for a grand celebration on the first of January. Gen eral Crook promised them protection, if necessary, in an orderly demonstration; but no protection will probably be needed. Arrived, schooner Willie Dill, from New York. RALEIGH. N. C., Dec. 29.—We have news here from Morehead City of the loss of the steamer Constitution, from Savannah to New York, with fifty-four souls on board, all lost except fourteen of the crew. A Nasal Paymaster Robbed of $20,000, [From the Cotro Democrat.] A daring robbery was perpetrated at Mound City on Thursday night last, by some parties, who, as yet, remain undis covered, of some $20,000, which was taken out of the safe belonging to the Paymaster of the station, Major Spaulding. Assistant Paymaster arney, at about 4 o'clock Thursday evening, locked the safe, and de posited the keys m the drawers of a secre tary, securing the same. At 7 o'clock on Friday morning, the porter awakened Major Spaulding with the information that he had found under the safe a package of money, which had evidently been dropped by the thieves in their hurry to get away. This news aroused Major Spaulding, who, upon arriving at the office, found that some $20,000 had been abstracted from it, and that it had been left unlocked. The keys of the safe, it seems, had been taken from the drawer of the secretary, where they had been placed the night previous, and the• rascals had an easy job in effecting the robbery. Major Spaulding immediately notified Commodore Schenck of the robbery, an in formal investigation took place, in which the former was entirely exonerated from all censure. As yet no clue has been obtained which will lead to the apprehension of the thieves, but it is absolutely certain that the parties are in some way connected with the Navy Department,and had some knowledge of the interior of thebuilding in which the safe was kept. No one has been arrested as yet, but a vigorous search is being made, which we hope will lead to the detection of the guilty parties. Destructive Flood in the Susquehanna.' WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., December 29. We are now having a very destructive ice flood, carrying with it all the logs lying in the West Branch of the Susquehanna.
