Fire on Wood Street.
Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock,
fire, originating from a can of varnish,
broke out in the third story of warehouse
No. 72 Wood street, above Fourth, occu
pied as a brush factory by James Lough
ridge. The merchants in the vicinity were
much alarmed as the dark clouds of smoke
he4an to roll from the windows and roof.
believing their own stores in danger. but
the steamers wore soon at hand and by
their exertions the flames were confined
to the room in which it originated, burn
ing otf the roof and slightly damagingthe
adjoining hardware house of Sumi Fahn
estock. Mr. Loughridge's stock was
nearly all removed and his loss will be
confined mostly to injury by water—St 100
or SSW, not covered by insurance. Mr.
Fahnestock's loss will be more serious, his
goods being - much injured by water, but it
cannot be estimated until the stock is ex
amined. It will not cost Much to repair
the damage to the buildings. The new
iron buildings adjoining Fahnestock's were
in danger for a time, but came out un
scathed.
The Subsistence Cotinnittee.
We are indebted to the Subsistence Com
mittee for a handsome lithograph of the
Volunteer Refreshment Rooms, at City
Hall, of which it is an accurate represent
ation. The lithograph was paid for by
private subscription, chiefly among the gen
tlemen of the Committee, and the entire
proceeds of its sale will he applied to the
purchase of hospital supplies for our Wes
tern armies. The picture will be for sale
at Henry Miner's, Fifth street, and J.. 1.
Gillespie's, Wood street. The picture is
dedicated to Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secrete
ry of War.
The Committee has been doing a noble .
work, one which shotild entitle it to the
thanks of the whole community. By re
pest, we publish the following report of
its operations y
The Subsisfimee Committee, since 26th
of last.lulV ha-e fed between .13,000 and 44,
.
000 men, who have passed through our
city on their way to the seat of war. They ;
have comprised regiments and companies
of almost every loyal State. Many of them
came from the 'distant States of Wiscon
sin and Mitutessota, who have enjoyed the
hospitalities with grateful thanks, and have
left with many good wishes fur the citizens
of Pittsburgh. The Committee have also
received, since. January 15th, thcrfollowing
contributions of hospital supplies, which
have been sent to the hospitals of our
western armies in St. Louis, Louisville and
Western Virginia : 1103 pair socks, 262
cans fruit, 227 comfortables, 064 towels. 33
dressing gowns. 112 bed ticks, 1,000 shirts.
261 under shirts, 462 pillows, 41 blankets,
112 pairs mittens, - 442 neck scarfs, 128
sheets. 330 pillows cases, 293 pairs slip
pers, 132 combs. 250 rolls of bandages
and linen, 273 packages of sundries, mak
ing a total of 7,031 articles, have also at
tended to 22$ sick of the different regi
ments which have passed through our
city, some of whom have been sent to our
hospitals until they recovered.
The Committee would take this method
of returning their thanks to the many kind
donors who have responded to their ap
peals for assistance, and they may rest as
sured they have the heartfelt gratitude of
many a poor soldier far front home and
friends.
As an evidence of the good these con
tributions have done in the West, we give
the following extract of a letter received
yesterday from the Ladies' Aid Society, of
St. Louis:
" Please tell the good friends of your
city we thank them most heartily il)r their
many kind donations. Let them not grow
weary in well doing for the noble men to
whom we owe so much. True, the sum
mer is approaching, and they will not
require the same articles for their comfort,
yet they will need as much. The physi-
Mans anticipate that the Hospitals, will
will be full all summer, for as many will
puffer from exposure to heat as from cold,
and imprudence in diet—than in winter.
We shall not need any more comforts this
season, or cotton flannel shirts; but cotton
or flannel shirts and drawers, towels, hand
kerchiefs, pillows, pillow slips, bandages,
jellies, etc., will be wanted m any quan
tity."
We trust that this worthy body may, if
they seek further contributions from our
citizens, meet with the same liberality as
heretofore.
Prof. Anderson's Necromancy.
The nightly soirees of Prof. Anderson.
at - Concert Hall, continue very attractive,
and are still attended by audiences wife

ancient and modern necromancy, execu

however. is almost useless, as all theories

Quarter Sessions.
The most important cases tried in this
Court yesterday, were the following: John
Flood, tried for the larceny of a sack of
rags, acquitted; Elvira OWCIIS, convicted
of stealing a pair of ladies' boots from
Gottfried Fox, Liberty street, and recom
mended to mercy; Mary Leese, convicted
of assault and battery on Julia Whitman of
the Fifth Ward and recommended to mercy

We call attention to the card of Addy &
Ewetii,practical plumbers, gas and steam

they h avei removed their Pittsburg h estab

rzightimed Baggage.
A bill has been teed in the Legislature,
givingthe power to railros4s to open and ex

property of &perishable nature, and sell it
at public sale to the best advantage.—

The htlehtooretoll 7 :reemieg seems to be

fineries destroyed by fire. Yesterday
morning Shout ten o'clock, Mr "Jake

four o'clock in the afternoon the refinery
known as Bell's, about three quarters of a

not known that he has definitely settled
the matter as yet.
Hellerism.
This is the new principle upon which
Robert la Diable, at the Theatre, attempts
to account for the wonderful second sight
of hisfamilinr, Fred. The public have in
vain sought a better explanation and must
be content to accept this. unsatisfactory as
it may seem; yet the second sight, wonder
ful as it appears, is not more inexplicable
than many of Heller's tricks, which should
all be seen to be appreciated. His engage
ment lasts but three nights more, and the
public should bear the fact in mind.

An Unconditional Surrender Demanded
A PANIC AT CHARLESTON
FORTRESS MONROE, April I.—The S.
gunboat Seminole arrived here this after
noon, bringing Port Royal dates to Satur
day last. Fort Pulaski had been thorough
ly invested for thirty days, and was mo
mentarily expected to surrender. It was
said that about five hundred rebels were in
Fort Pulaski, and that they had offered to
go out with the honors of war, but Gen
eral Sherman demanded their uncondi
tional surrender, and would on the first of
April open on the fort if they still re
fused.
The rebels have had withdrawn all their
threes from the coast of Georgia, and had
ahaudoned their works at Thunderbolt,
taking all their guns to Savannah. The
gunboat Seminole landed and destroyed
the Thunderbolt fort, which is within five
miles of Savannah, over a good shell road.
A refugee from Savannah says that the
friends of the rebel troops in Fort Pulaski
had offered 530,000 to any one who would
rescue them.
A. refugee from Charleston represents
that a great panic had existed there since
the capture of Newbern. The women and
children wore leaving the city for safety,
and there was a general expectation that a
terrible blow was about to tall on that sec
tion.
From Florida the intelligence is most
gratifying; the Union sentiment was being
strongly developed.
A dispatch from Norfolk in this morn
ing's Richmond papers mentions the arri
val of Vice President Hamlin and a large
party of ladies and gentlemen here, and
the salutes on the occasion; and in the
same paragraph saws there has been no
communication by deg of truce for several
days past. There appears to be little
doubt that all the movements here are
faithfully reported to the rebel authorities.
The papers also state that nearly a hundred
transport steam and other vessels are in
Hampton Roads, and that a large number
of Federal troops have landed here.
The Richmond Dispatch, of this morn
ing, says the Grand Army of the Federals
seem to have been transferred from the
neighborhood of Washington to the Pen
insula, which. they have probably conclu
ded is a shorter and easier road to Rich
mond, than via Manassas, which we have
courteously placed at their disposal. The
Dispatch adds that the roads here are as
had as those on the Potomac, and refers
to Gen. Magruder as a man not likely to
be caught napping.
There was a rumor in Richmond vester
day that a severe fight had taken place on
the Peninsula. This was probably caused
by the fact that a strong reconnoissance to
wards Yorktown was made on Saturday.
A dispatch from Augusta, Ga.. dated
the 31st of March, says the Charleston pa
pers of that day contained a dispatch dated
New Orleans, the 2-Ith, stating that two
Federal gunboats on' the 28th commenced
an attack on fort Jackson at the mouth of
the Mississippi. but np to that tines no
body had been hurt.
The New Orleans papers oldie 27th, re
port the loss of the rebel stew met Van
derbilt. The captain, crew, and eight pas
sengers are safe on the Florida coast. A
boat containing seventeen men had not
been heard front.
The rebel Ordnance Bureau has issued an
order calling for all the hells that can be ob•
tamed, to be recast into light artillery.
Troops are gathering in large numbers
at Jacksonpurt and Pocahontas. General
Van Dorn and Jeff. Thompson were pre
paring fur an early movement on some
point on the Mississippi river with their
force. It was, considered by the rebels
that the Missigsippi Valley is safe from the
enemy.
The Memphis Avalanche, of the 29th
ult., says :
The forces of the enemy, in attempting
to take Island Number Ten, have been
throwing shot. and shell for 240 hours.
without doing any damage to our works or
guns. lip to this time only one Confeder
ate soldier has been killed.
Small tags came down the James river
yesterday afternoon, and at long range
threw some shell into Newport News
camp, no damage was done. The distance
was so great, it would he useless with our
guns to make any reply.
The military stationed at Norfolk, from
the Gulf States, have been very severe on
the Virginia Chivalry since the defeat at
Roanoke. Even the Richmond Blues, the
very punk of Chivalry, have fallen in pub
lic estimation, All award bravery to 0.
Jennings Wise i but his father has so fallen
in pubbc estimation, that he is proclaimed
on the streets of Norfolk a coward and a

In his escape from Nag Head he rode thir

remain onlltoanoak Island at the head of
his command. Wise and Floyd now rank
together as the fleet-footed. Aly inform
! ant says that Wise would be hooted if he
ever appeared in the streets of Norfolk or
Richmond. He has retired to his. farm in
Prince Anne county.
Commissioner's Report of the
Missouiri Department.
Wesuiscrok, April 2.—The Commis
sioners to examine into the affairs of Wes
tern or 'Missouri - Military Department,
have made a voluminous report, in which
they state they examined 1,200 witnesses
and had claims presented them amounting
to eight millions of dollars. They remark
they have devoted principal part of their
report to an exposure of the abuses which
characterized the late administration of
that Department and testify to the integ
rity which generally has been displayed
by merchants, mechanics and manufactur
ers, when permitted to deal 'directly with
the Government, wide spread as has been
the demoralization in official circles and
among their dependents and favorites and
startling- as are the frauds which have been
attempted and consummated. A larger ma
jority of the claimants have presented
themselves before the Commissioners, un
impeached by imputations, either on their
loyalty or honor. The following dispatch
es to day, received here, dated Wood
stock, Va., April 2nd :
We have driven the enemy from Stras
burg to Woodstock, a distance of 12 miles,
and then to Edinburg, 11 miles beyond.—

Capture of Fort Pulaski.
BA 1.11111/111:. Nil . 2d. —The special cor
respondent of the American. at Fortress
Monroe. says : ‘• In connection with the
knowledge the rebels seem to possess of
our movements. I may also state that two
drummer boys who were captured by the
rebels a few days since, are known to have
given information they possessed to the
enemy. This fact was ascertained from
two rebel prisoners who were captured
yesterday.
The Seminoles advices front Port Royal
are'to Saturday:last. The surrender of Fort
Pulaski was daily expected For 30 days
all communication with Savannah had been
cut off, except an occasional row boat.
which escaped the pickets. Several of
these boats had been caught on their way
down, but some are supposed to have es
caped the vigilance of the guard at night.
The number of rebels in Fort Pulaski was
reported by deserters at five hundred.
Two German companies of the garrison
had revolted and were placed in irons.
It was the intention of Gen. Sherman to
summon the Fort to surrender on the Ist
of April, if the demand was not acceeded
to, ho would immediately commence to
shell it. His mortar and siege guns were
so stationed that the guns of the Fort
could not reach them.
A boat's crew from the Seminole landed
and destroyed the Fort at thunderbolt,
setting fire to the barracks and blowing up
the magazine.
The City of Savannah was understood to
bn very strongly fortified in all its ap
proaches. The force their was variously
estimated by refugees at front 20,000 to
50,000. probably 20,000 is more correct.
The greatest despondency existed among
the people and troops at Charleston.
The tall of Newbern created the greatest
consternation. The tire-eaters ridiculed
the North Carolina troops, and charged
them with cowardice.
The shopkeepers and bakers in Charles
ton also immediately refused to receive
North Carolina money. There being two
North Carolina regiments encamped in the
city at the time, a revolt was the conse
(pence and the shops were broken open
and the troops helped themselves. These
regiments had refused to serve any longer
and were allowed to return home.
The advices from Florida are very en
couraging. Many of the inhabitants were
renewing their allegiance. No doubt in
formation of time abandonment of Pensacola
has been received, but it was generally be
lieved that our troops had crossed over
from Santa Rosa and also occupied the
place.
The hitest intelligence received from
Norfolk. by the underground railroad,
leaves no doubt that the Merrimac is thor
oughly repaired and in commission, ready
fur another expedition against the wooden
walls of the Federal navy and the river
transports lying in the Roads. The delay
in her coming out is believed to be caused
by her waiting for ammunition for the
heavy guns that have been placed on board
of her, and also for some infernal machines
which are being constructed by bombastes
Maury.
The steamers Yorktown and James
town are al-0 being strengthened and
more thoroughly ela , l with iron, to IWCOIII
- the Merriume. There is also a rumor
that two more steamers are being clad
with iron at Richmond, to join the expe
dition. As to the loss "Hire on the Met.-
rituae, we have now what is claimed to be
imsitive infortnatlon, that it was pretty
teas y ; one of the recently arrived contra
bands states that he was a nurse in the
general hospital and that up to the time of
his departure he had helped to shroud
thirty-two of the crew of the Merrimac. and
that both Captain Buchanan and Lieuten
ant Minor are dead. There was still a
number of the wounded surviving. They
tote contrabands) also state that the last
two shots of the Monitor were represented
to he the only ones that seriously injured
the Merrimac; these were thrown under
her shield at the moment she attempted to
run the Monitor down.
Latest from Richmond.
WASHINIITON, April 2nd.—lntelligence
has been received from Richmond, via.
Baltimore. that the rebels are removing
their tobacco to the interior, toward Dan
