the dimes burst furiously forth- and aejzed
upon every part of the immense building,
which. was. very de.y. The fire spread with
fearful rapidity and in half an hour the

weight of the reef and its expansion by the
heat• throwing down the whole wall along
Liberty, street, as well as that at the
twii 'kiwis, leaving, the rear wall, which
abuts on Exchange alley, standing.—
The burning oil created an intense
heat . Ana fierce flame, rendering it
impossible to save any property in the
depot'building. All the oil and five hun
drer barrels belonging to the Lubric 0:1
Co., three thousand barrels in all, worth,

r A number of frame houses in this vicinity
were saved with difficulty, and some brick
dwellings on Marbury street, were aiso in
imminent danger, the wood work being
much blistered. The day was calm, and
but for this circumstance and the exertions
of the firemen, the damage would have
been far greater. The steamers did the
lion's share of the work; but also took the
sbare.of.the water, leaving the hand
engines comparatively useless, and eng9,n
dering much complaint among those who
had theminagement of the latter. A num
ber ofour returned volunteers and recruits
in companies about to leave made their
appearance at the fire, and did good ser
vice in checking the progress of the flames.
The aggregate loss will not fall short of
$160,000, and as the insurance on the
whole will not-exceed $60,000, the loss will
be about $lOO,OOO.

the fact that he had been an inmate of the
Ohio Penitentiary. Newcomer was Bens
termed to five years imprisonment at hard
labor in the Ohio-Penitentiary, from the
Northern District of Ohio, at . November
term, 1855, for counterfeiting coin. The
pardon was dated 30th December, 1859,
when defendant had served more than four
years of his time, and was granted by
President Buchanan, because his revela
tions had brought other offenders to punish.
ment and that he might be useful in the
same capacity thereafter.
Mrs. Jane McMunn saw Bannon in the
early part of lad summer, with money—
good so far as she knew; never saw him
with any counterfeit money.
Officer Gumbert testified to assisting in

• Here the case for the United States closed
and Mr. Purviance opened the case for de%
fendant to the jury. •

carpet-sack in his hand, while he and Ban
non stood on the step: Newcomer came
up "and he and Bannon went down into the
saloon. Witness followed; Newcomer
wanted B. to take some money ; Bannon
said "no, I would rather you would not
come here any more; if you are a friend
you will stay away; .1 want nothing to do
with you or your money." Newcomer then
went up stairs. Witness saw no money.
As Newcomer came up Bannon said :
"That's the man that sold my brother
some money and I'm going to give him
h-1 for it." The brother is about eigh
teen.
Job. G. Patterson, Chief of Police, had
heard persons, say they would not believe'
Newcomer. Would not like to believe
him on oath.
Jas. Fleming was recalled and stated
that the character for truth and veracity of
Lavinia Cole was not good ; he could not
believe her upon oath.
Sylvester Hunter testified to the same
effect, and also Dr. - Thos. - Hunter, John
Cook and James Used.. T h ee eal,no? witness

CROS,SINO TELE POTOMAC. - Blythe, the
artist, who spent several weeks among the
camps of our Pennsylvania soldiery,. and
VIM more than once arrested for a seces
sionist, by reason of his suspicious em
ployment of sketching, has returned home.
We see the first production of his pencil in
Gillespie's window, Wood street, where it
attracts a crowd -f spectators continually.
It is a representation of the crossing of
the Potomac. at Williamsport, by Gen.
Patterson's Division, and is said by those
who saw the passage, to be a faithful rap
ture. The likeness of Capt. Doubleday is
so strong as to be recognized at once by all
who know him. The picture is well col.
ored and attractive, and will add not a
little •to the reputation of the artist
Blythe has some fine sketches in his port
folio and we expect ere long to see other
fine war pictures from his pencil.
PRXBENTATION.—on Tuesday night the
employees in the establishment of Mr.
Henry W. Oliver, smiler and harness ma.
ker of Wood street, presented 'their em
ployer with a magnificent shyer' eervece,
in token of their high esteem of him as a .
man and in gratitude for Wording thelP
liberally paid employment in these times,
when business of all kind is languishing,
which he has' been enabled to do on ac..
count of having government work. in
connexion with the presentation a splen
did collation was giv,en at the •shop,
B.'o. Robb made the 'presentatien speech
in happy Style, to which Mr. Oliver re
spended. The whole affair was a pleasant
surprise to Mr. 0. who had no knowledge
that such a thing was in contemplation.
THE NINTH BEamfERT.--The Wash
ingtim &sr:, in noticing the arrival of this
regiment Washington City, pays the
following merited compliment to it:
" This regiment has been organized and
workinglo; three months, , and is in a first
rateriOace of itisojpltrie. " The men are the
best people of ''Allegheny, Beaver and
Crawford counties, and their morale is ox.
callent. We have seen no Pennsylvania
regiment equal to them 'in a military point
qf view. The officers are intelligent 4nd
gentlemanly, and are not too dignified, at
the same time trying to attend in person to
the comfort of the men. The Ninth Penn,
syltraniit will be favorites here. "

to Manassas. Then the cavalry were sent
in hot pursuit of the enemy, but failed to
overtake them. We camped in Fairfax.

secessionists. Next morning we took the
march again, and went to Centreville by
night; here we encamped two days.

Halrovka JuNCTION, July 27.=-Editor
Evening Chronide:—.Having learned with
amazement, when en route, that some of
the men returned borne from this regiment
have circulated rumors which ieflect, seri
-ously upon Col. Campbell, we, the officers
of the eight remaining companies, met at
Parktown this afternoon and resolved, that
we have every confidence in the ability, in
levity and skill of Colonel Caiiipbell;'that:
we were entirely willing to remain the fif
teen days, as requested, or any reasonable
time longer, and did remain until honora•
bly relieved_thu day by the War Depart"
ment; and that we will hold a meeting on
our arrival at Pittsburgh to verify these
resolves, and 7 defencl the honor of our Com
manding Colonel. [Signed.]

ALEXANDRIA, July 29.—0 n Saturday
night the buildings known as Riche's Mills,
four miles out on the Loudon and Hamto.
shire Railroad, were burned. Ten mem.
hers of the 29th New York regiment are
under arrest, charged with being the in
cendiaries.
A recruiting party of the Thirty.second
New York regiment on Saturday cncoun
tered five of the secession cavalry, eight
miles out oh the Fairfax road. A man,
supposed to be the captain, was killed, as
was also his horse. They made good their
escape with his body.
A member of the Twenty-ninth New
York regiment, was killed yesterday by
one of his own regiment, while robbing a
potsto patch in violation of orders.
The tamperihg with the soldiers by se
cessionists resident here has become so bold
within the last few days, that Gen. Run
yon issued an order today for the arrest
of all parties suspected.
BALTIMORE, July go.—Advioes from
Harper's Ferry state that none of John•
ston's troops bad returned to Winchester
or Charlestown up to yeaterdai. One reb-
el regiment of Loudon county volunteers
have returned to Leesburg, and reported
that two more are on their way thither
from Manassas. Gen. Jobn.son was 'still
at lianassai3.
Owi. .T4ee has been assigned to the com
mand on the upper Potomac, in place of
Gen. Wise, and is to unit% his force with
the remains of the late Gen. Garnett's
command, for movement against Geroge
Rosencrans.
W4.8111163T0N, July 80.—The Douglas
Democrats have repeatedly mentioned the
fact, that although their party has largely
contributed volunteers for the war, they
have been neglected in the appointment of
Generals. This complaint is likely to be
soon obviated 'in part by the selection of
QollhipOlernand, of Illinois, a member of
the House, as Brigadier General.
