OF A NIE vi . :IIIO LUNATIC
Particulars of the Calamity..
Commune, Nov. 18.—At a few minutes before
10 o'clock to-night a fire broke out in the north
end of the east wing of the Central Ohio Lunatic
Asylum, and the entire building is now being
rapidly destroyed. The fire is said to have origi
nated from a defective flue..
The Fire Department was promptly on land,
but owing to an Insufficiency in the supply' of
water, was unable to arrest the progress of the
flames. The engine belonging to the institution
has been constantly pumping water, but not in
sufliclentetuantity to keep the steamers constant
ly employ( d.
The wing where the fire originated was occu
pied by women, six of whom were suffocated be
fore Mil could reach them. Their bodies wer e
saved. One more was carried out alive, but has
since died. It is rumored that others are missing.
No Mimes of dead and missing could be ascer
tained to-night. The other patients have been
taken to the hospital on the Asylum grounds,
and to various public institutions, where they
will be properly cared for. None of the men
were injured.
About all the furniture in the Main 'building
and the west wing was saved, but much of it in
a damaged condition. A portion of that in the
east wing was also taken out,. The loss to the
State will be about 8800000,to say nothing about
now this terrible calamity will affect an unfortu
nate class of our community.
The institution had about 850 patients, accom
modations but for few of whom can be provided
at the other asylums in
,the State.
The scene during the Progress of the conflagra
tion was most appalling, and baffles descriptiom
the officers of the institution did their duty no
bly. Many of the citizens made themselves use
ful in taking care of patients and carrying out
furniture. If Columbus had been supplied with
Water Works this fire could have been readily
suppressed, and property saved exceeding in value
the future cost of such an improvement. There
is tow no hopes - of saving any portion of Ike
building.
(From the Cincinnati Tim cal •
Cor.umnus, Nov. 19.—The Central Lunatic
Asylum was last night entirely destroyed by fire.
,Tho fire originated in the north- dcrimitory - of the
east wing, and was discovered about nine o'clock.
It was amusement night, antniony.orthe in
mates 'were collected in the concert hall. The
alarm was telegraphed to the engine houses, and
•he entire department was almost immediately
on the grounds The flames spread very rapidly,
and the work of rescuing the inmates was at
once commenced.
In the eonfusion six persons perished in the
flames or were antrocated by the smoke. The
bodies were secured by the most strenuous exer-
done; thofigh the persons who carried th em out
were much injured. The water thrown by the
engines seemed for a time to retard the flames,
hut about 10 o'clock the cisterns were exhausted.
The scene at this time beggars all description.
The frantic inmates were being hurried from the
burning building, the whole east wing of which
was now in flames; coming some. of them
from their beds of slumber, and others from
beds of eickiess, taken from windows,
and rushing out of doors, the
engines all at work, men shouting and rushing
from one point to another, carrying out furniture
and tossing it from windows. When the water
it the cisterns in the vicinity of the Asylum was
exhausted, water was forced from other cisterns
in the city, though this weakened the working
force of the department on the ground. A strong
and steady stream was poured upon the building
for a number of hours.
After the Asylum cisterns gave out the fire ex
tended soon along the roof of the entire east
wing then Along the front part of the main
building to the extreme Brest end.
The greater part of the furniture was saved,
though much of it in a damaged condition.
There was no Insurance on the building.
A. M. Smith, President of the board of Mana
gers, was early bn the ground, ana remained to
the last, working with Dr. Peck, the Superinten
dent, to manage for the, best. Numerous citi
zens spent almost the eatire night at the build
ing, assisting the tiredepartment, and joining in
the work of removing the furniture.
The following are the names of the en orta
nates Who perisbedin - the flames at the burning
of the Central Ohio Lunatic Asylum: Caroline
Connor, Athens county,. Lizzie Herold, Athens
county; Mary Murphy, Wyandotte county; Brid
get Brophy, Columbus; Mrs. Bradford, Athens
county; Mrs. Parker; Licking county. Three of
them were young women under 25 years of age,
and oven in their terrible death presented a beau
tiful appearance.
A large amount of. Property was stolen—one
man, who represented himself as an officer of the
institution, being , seen to walk off with a flye
thousand dollar Government bond. Medic it
stores and other articles of value are scattered
promiscuously over the city. Much blame is at,
Inched to the Chief Engineer of the Fire Depart
ment, for the loose way in which ho performed
his duties; while much credit reflects upon the
officers of the institution, who worked heroically
to the last.

Wolfsalm -gave :therf • ntt ,- his.
posed siimatineeslin the Foyer of the Academy
yesterday. As usual the weather was stormy,
but the attendance was• good under the circum
stances. The opening piece was a Sonata in
A minor, by Rubinstein], in four movements, for
piano and violin. Mr. Wolfsohn played the
piano, and the violin was in the hands of M.
Edonard Colonne, a newly-arrived. French vir
tuoso, who must be regarded as a great acqui
sition to musical circles. He plays with great
purity of tone, with perfect grace and feeling,
and his style is wholly free• from the trickery
often resorted to by solo violinists. The Sonata,
which is full of variety and novel effects, requires
to be heard oftener to be appreciated; but
the masterly performance of Messrs. Wolfsohn
and Colonne made it enjoyable even on a first
bearing. Mr. Colonne afterwards played a sole
by Viotti, in which his mastery of his , instru
ment was even better displayed. The Beethoven
rio—in_l3_llat major,optis_fiL_was pla .ed b •
Messrs. Wolfsohn,Colonne and Hennig in exqu -
site style. Mr.,Hennle, Who is altogether the
beet violincellist now in the country, also played
a most beautiful Elegie Bazzint. Mr. Wolf
sohn performed arrangements by. Liszt of Schu
bert's "Ave Maria" and the "Shakeepeare Sere
nade," a beautiful setting of the words from
Cymbeline "Hark the Lark at Heaven's Gate
Sings." Both of these wore charmingly played,
- and the whole entertainment give qualified
delight.

Latest Reports from the Seat of War

Wasinbturns
LITGATION or nut UNIYgoSTATire,BOA ViAOEIII,
October 22,1868.-*-To the Editor of the Anglo-Bra
---ziliart-Timesr---81m---Now-that - the t3c-Alled-for
and inconsiderate abuse of Mr. Washburn, the
United States Minister to Paraguay, has ab ated,
if not ceased, I-desire to state one or two facto,
calculated to vindicate the Character of an Ame
rican official, who has faithfully discharged his
duty under very trying circtunatances.
In the first pl.ce, Mr. Washburn is the same
individual who, in 1864, then United States Min-.
'stet. at Asuncion, protestcal against the treatment'
of the Brazilian Minister, Senor Vienna da Lima,
by President Lopez; and when he found that re
monstrance was unavailing, threatened the tyrant
to Insist upon his passport and break up his Le
gation If 1)a Limn were not treated with the con;
sideration his diplomatic character demanded,"
end the necessary facilities afforded him to leave
the country in a manner suited to the dignity of
nis position. For so doing, his conduct was
greatly extolled by the Brazilian press and Bra
zilian officials. including hie Imperial Majesty.
Secondly—The peculiar character of Mr. Wash
burn's official correspondence with the Para
amp= Foreign office is to be attributed solely to
the dangerous position in which he and his family
were plaeed by Lopez, with a view, probably, to
their destruction ; and which is thus described in
bis report to me of what had occurred, dated.'
Buenos Ayres, September 26:
vet: will find a ridiculously long correspondence in re
gard to the different persons domiciled in Legation.
which wait find pub l ished by Lopez in I dsSeminarto,
end has been republished e. On the continuance of
this correspondence I felt life depended; and my
whichwas to prolong wo uld the arrival of the Wasp.
lllwas certain you rend up. I wrote to gain
time, ad" the while cherishing the hope that she would -
eome before Lops committed any violence against me;
for had be at once proceeded to that. he would have gone
to the last extremity. For one whole month I felt that I
would have compromised by simply being shot; but I
was afraid of Ida tortures, which he applies to all who
do not make ouch declarations ache desires. And then I
did n6t like to give him a chance to put forth soy deals,
reams as coming from me, when I should not be alive to
arrived m .to e a l e co
tgulgati7l2 cseottegwbrin t ili c lnrl l ;
rettui ng the first despatch containing Imputations on
t i or tt =ct. s e i r a s; o orl .
tt rTA, insured
asp mydestruction.
and wce
saved.
Thirdhi—Mr. Washburn is no more responsible
for the publication of that correspondence than I
am for the United States squadron's lying idle In
this harbor, when all of the available men-of-war
belonging to other nationalities have long since
been occupying the waters of Paraguay, and do
ing all in their power to protect the lives of their
citizens. There is just as much justice in
censoring Mr. Washburn for publishing
his correspondence with Lopez as there is
in visiting upon my Government, her people, or
myself the Just indignation expressed by the
public that our squadron—all of which, except
the flagship, is peculiarly adapted to river service
—should be the only passive one on the coast, in -
an emergency 'which demands prompt action, not
only in vindication of our national honor, but in
the discharge of our duty to the civilized world;-:
which, equally with the. United States, has been
insulted by the gross outrage perpetrated on our
Legation irk Paraguay. • -
Fourthly—Mr. Washburn may have been im
prudent in giving expression to his feeling in re
gard wale dilatoriness of the Marquis of erudite.
Ai concluding the war against Lopez but
it must notbe forgotton that tie was the- victim
of that dilatoriness, and that it nearly cost him
tile life. The Brazilian army has exhibited extra
ordinary dash and abundant daring, whenever it
has had an opportunity to exhibit its soldierly
qualities; and tie who vindicates its charactet
merits the thanks, instead of the condemnation,
of the Braziliap public.
Fifthly—Mr. Washburn is censured and called
nard names, because he seemingly abandoned
members of his legation to the tender mercies of
the Wild Beast of Paraguay. The condemnation
bus its origin in a manly and generous feeling,
which 1 fully understand and appreciate; but it
is based on erroneous information. If the
Wasp had been lying at the wharf of Asuncion,
doubtless, from my knowledge of Mr. Wash
burn's character ; he would--have placed. his
wife and child on board and ordered the
a.eamer to leave, while he returned to brave
the tyrant in hi s den, and share the fate of
he members of his Legation. Bat such was not
he state of affairs. Mr. Washburn say's: "I de
:landed and received my passports, and aban
doned pay residence; and with my wife, child and
•ervfints, amine two members of my Legation,
started for the steamer—not the Wasp, bat a
l'araettayan steamer, which was to take us to the
Wasp. When approaching the steamer Bliss and
ilasterman were arrested at my side and forcibly
:arried away. What was Ito do? Follow ihem,
.nd leave my wife and child in the streets of
Asuncion? We had no home to return to. Should
I hese placed my family ciiiiitiard the Paraguayan
steamer and left them to the tender mercies or
Lopez's minions? My diplomatic functions nav
bg been brought to a close by my own act, Lo
pez would not nave permitted me to resume theini.
in - 1 tire seizure of the members of my Legation,
s much entitled to protection as I was, demon
-Ira s what kind of protection was in store for
.11 of ns, and of how little value it was to my le
i,ation as to my family." . "". •
I will only repeat the larrg-Large of the Buenos
Ayres Standard—• It Mr. Washburn has erred,he
hue erred on the right side; and hid korve rumen t
and his country will telly indorse his conduct
Against all the calumnies and slanders now heaped
pork him by evidence not worth the paper upon
A hich it is written."
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
J. WATSON WEBB.

Two engagements of some importance oc
curred lately. In both, the allies, under the
Commander-in-Chief, Marquis de Oaxiiu3, were
this attacking parties. The encounter which
took placCon , the 28d ultimo was brought about
by tne Brazilian forces , advancing to take
When
of the bridge on the . stream Piciguires.
When tho attacking division, under the im
mediate command of our General. 'Baron do
Triumpo, arrived at the bridge, the Paraguayans
made a vigorous resistance; which, oi•course,
caused a fierce 'fight between the contending
irmits, which lasted several hours, and ended in
the - defeat of the Paraguayans, by the Allies
taking full possession of the bridge, as wall as of
e very important position beyond it. General
Unities in his order of the day, September 26th,
announces the losses to be 58 officers and 166
men killed and wounded. The position was de
-Teb-cled—by-60tr-of-the-bodyguard"of-Impoz. A
second but less important engagement took place
on October 1. The Paraguayans are reported to
have been defeated.
Vllleta, the new position of Lopez,is represen
ted to be of considerable strength, owing to the
dense woods, deep ravines, and the extensive
marshes that, surround it. it appears that the
natural position of Villeta is in /act, much strong
er than was at first generally anticipated.
The Paraguayans are posted upon high hills,
where they have mounted their artillery, and it
may be tMt so long AB their supplies hold out,
they may yet have a chance to resist (for some
time) the victorious armies that surround them.

Rio DE JANEIRO Oct. 3 1868.—1 n addition to
the slight notice already given yesterday, we are
going to satisfy the just curiosity of our readers
by noticing all the dritalls of the brilliant ball
given on board of the American frigate
"Guerricre," on the let inst., by its distinguished
officers and worthy Admiral. These gentlemen,
being desirouset returning the hnspitallties that
bad been extended to them by the society in Rio
de Janeiro, resolved to give a ball on board of
their magnificent vessel. It was to have taken
place on the 30th; but they were disappointed by
the day berriTrahlYißid - dfria - gfeeritaTit W - 115 coin
-sequently postponed until the next day. •
Without the slightest exaggeration we are able
to say that this was the most splendid ball we
have seen for many years in the placid and serene .
bay of Rio de Janeiro. The frigate, which le
about 840 feet long, was divided into two parts,
the forward part being an elegant "fromr et
promenade," and the after part a large and mag
nificent ball room. Among other varied and
profuse adornments artistically distributed were
seen stacks of arms, banners, flags, flowers and
plants of all descriptions. In the middle of all
these adornments the general attention was at
tracted to a picturesque fountain of artistic as
pect,surrounded by rare and beautiful plants; the
clear and crystal water falling upon them re
flected the thousand lights of the brilliant ball
room. The whole was adorned elegantly with
Brazilian and American flags. This metamor
phosis-of a man-of-war, which has generally a
simple and severe aspect, into an enchanted
palace, was owing to the exquisite taste of Com
modore Ramsey, Chief of the Admiral's staff,
who, in addition, has the rare gift of a skilful
painter.
• At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the invited guests
commenced to arrive, and at 8 o'clock the tithe
lug began, there tieing then on board about 500
persons of the most choice and elegant society.
The sight,was rendered beautiful by the surnoptu
ons toilettes of the ladies, rivaling in their ex
treme richness the dazzling uniforms of the
English. French, Portuguese, American and Bra
zilian officers. To all mix was added the view of
theeity,_with. Its thousand lights,and the pale re
flection of the moon upon the waters. it may
be affirmed that seldom has there been
a spectacle so grand. One circumstance of the
ball caused a general impression at the time. On
the poop were united in one group the Ameri
can, English, French and Spanish Admirals,
representing with the most affable cordiality the
lour principal maritime nations of the world.
At midnight a supper was served on the gun
deck of the frigate, on two extensive tables.
Everything wart most exquisite and delicate;
wines and liquors were seen in great profusion.
Champagne was served- to theuests from 460
bottles.' The service was splendid, exceeding the
requirements of the nibst' fastidious. Durlog
the splendid supper, and also during the •entire
evening, two bands of music, one of the Frigate
and the other n.German band,played without ces
sation numerous waltzes, polkas, quadrilles, Ltc.
The guests were received at the gangway by Ad

which proved that bravery can be united with

'William Sydney Montt, the artist, died at Se

Ids father,a substantial yeomanoLthe_old school,_
at the age of seven, and, as he has said; "at the
age' of seventeen was a hard-working farmer's
boy." One of his brothers, a. S. Meant, a skit

r.xcel him. He eagerly sought _and examined
J.lctures, and was led to study . composition by
West's Ophelia and Madness of Lear, at that time
considered the masterpieces of art; after study

of Design, he painted as his first pieta:ire In 1828
a pot trait of himself. From this time his career
is a portrait painter began, and continued with
Wet - ea - Sing success for many years.
Mr. Mount, however, was more than a painter
"of pintralts. He produced many works of peen
her merit, especially in the humorous line of art,
and was especially happy in drawing scenes and
times from negro life. Some of these, such as
the "Banjo-player," the "Power of Music," ticc.,
tinve been widely circulated in coloredlithographs
through this and other countries.
Said Washington Allston, in 1834, of thiti ar
tist: "I saw some pictures in the Boston Athe-
Lamm. last year by a young man of your city-
Mount—which showed great power of expres

seems to have a good notion of the ilgtre. If he
would study Ostade and Jan Steen, especially the
latter, and master their color and chiaroscuro,
there Is nothing, that I see, to , prevent his be

It proves, however, that Secretary McCulloch has

THE' CONFIRMATION OF COLONEL BELGER.
Considerable stir was occasioned to-day by the
'nomination of. Colonel James Be!ger, of Balti

immediately confirmed by Secretary McCulloch.
Colonel Belger was recommended by numerous
influential Republicans of Baltimore. Lie was.
during the war, a United States Quartermaster at
Baltimore, and, it will be remembered, was -
charged with defrauding the Government in the
purchase of coal. Ho was tried on these charges
before a court-martial, of which Major-General
Hitchcock was President,and honorably acquitted
of the charges. Subsequently, Secretary
Stanton reviewed• the proceedings of
the court, dissented from.... their verdict,
and recommended President Lincoln to 'dismiss
COL Berger from - the - army, which was done on
general.. orders. About d year ago,' President
Johnson revoked the order: - - of dismissal,. but
