On Wednesday, about noon, from some unforseen cause, a fire broke out in the Lucesco Oil Works, on the Allegheny Val ley_ Railroad, nearly opposite Freeport, and the whole building, a three story brick, was burned down, together with some three hundred or more barrels of refined oil. The. condensing tank, in the rear of. the receiving house, with about ten per cent of the condensing pipes, was also de stroyed. The stills, still further back, the most valuable portion of the machinery, as also the engine and retort house (the lat ter not used in the manufacture of refined carbon oil, the establishment having been — built for coal oil) were uninjured. The fire from the receiving house com municated to the store of the company t on the river bank, and by means of the refuse pitch, which also ignited, to the boarding house adjoining, and five large oil tanks. The store and boarding house, frame build - lags, were destroyed, a portion of the stock in the former being saved. The iron tanks, five in number, were capable of holding three hnhdred barrels each of crude oil.— One: of these was empty. The wooden covering. was burned off and, singularly enough, the contents of one tank, and one fourth of the oil in another, was saved.— The total loss in crude oil is between 1,500 and 1,800 barrels. The huge tanks (made to hold 6,000 barrels each) recently built for the company, escaped. A bridge over a small ravine, was also deitroyed, delaying the trains of the Alle gheny Valley Railroad, which pass over it, some two hours. All efforts to ascertain the origin of the fire were unavailing. Two men were about the works. One had just left the receiv ing house and the other was approaching it, when both felt a shock, as ot an explo sion, and, looking around, found the inte rior of the building in flames. The loss on the store and hoarding house is fully covered by insurance, and SIO,OXIO will repair all other damages. The build ings 4111 be replaced within three weeks, and meanwhile the business of the compa ny Will suffer no interruption, as they have enough stock on hand to fill all orders.

We did not learn the extent of the loss or whether the boat was loaded. The rumor that the "Monitor" had been• run into by another vessel and sunk, freely circulated through the streets, by those always on the alert for a "sell," created some excite ment and gave rise to a belies in some quarters that the Ericsson steamier haftin- deed gone down to the bottom of the sea. Fatal Ataideat. On Wednesday a man named Henry M. Moon, employed at Newmyer & Graff's axe and shovel factory, in the Fourth Ward, Allegheny, met with an accident which resulted in his death on the follow ing day. He was polishing an axe on a stone revolving by steam, when it caught in some manner and was thrown violent ly toward him, striking him on the fore head and causing a fracture of the skull, from which he died at an early hour yes terday morning. Deceased was a Married" man, twenty-five years of age, but boarded in Allegheny City, his wife, from whom be has separated, living at Pine Creek. Coro ner McClung held an inquest and a ver dict was rendered in accordance with the facts. Recovery of Stolen Goods. Officer Pender and Fredericks last even ing visited a house on Seventh street, which they searched and found the valua bles noticed elsewhere as having been sto len from Mr. James Blaekmore on Satur day evening ; a demijohn, pitcher; several bottles of liquors and tone of the.trtmks ta ken from Duffy's tavern; part of a bag of coffee, a crock of lard, twosetts of harness, a lot of keys, &c. It seems that the goods were taken by Roth and Heir, referred to in another item as having been committed by Mayor Drum under suspicious circum stances, and left by them at. Roth's house where they were found. Roth, whose real name is Rudolf. was released from the Penitentiary about a month since. Later in the evening, another German, named Miller, was arrested in the Ninth Ward, with another lot of coffee in his possession. He has also finished a term inthe Peniten tiary recently. He is in confinement, awaiting a hearing. Disabled Pen asylvania Soldier* On Tuesday a steam transport arrived at New York from Ship Point, having on board one hundred and eighty-seven sick, disabled and wounded soldiers, left at Yorktown by General McClellan. Of these thin v-nine were Pennsylvanians, belonging to the 21st, 23d, 31st, 51st, 53d, 61st, 96th. 98th and 104th regiments. We observe no familiar names, and it is not probable that any from this vicinity are among them. At Williamsburg. Sickles' Excelsior Brigade participated in the recent battle at Williamsburg, and. according to the telegraph, lost heavily, The brigade has in it two Pittsburgh com panies, the'Friend Rifles and Capt. Glass' 7.outive Cadets, Co. B. The friends of the members will look for the list of killed and wounded with great anxiety. For Pittsburg Lauding. Lieut. R. H. Long, of Stambaugh's Sev enty-seventh Pennsylvania Regiment leaves on Tuesday next for Pittsburg Landing to join his regiment. He will convey letters and packages left at No. 112 Grant street and also desires to enlist a few recruits, having received special instructions to do so from Capt. Dodge. Rebel Relies. The llarrisbnrg Patriot and Union says that Dr. A. H. Gross, late member of the Assembly from this county, and one of the reserve corps of surgeons, had passed through that city on his way home, having in his possession several relics—among them a bayonet, picked up inside the rebel works at Yorktown. Change of Command. By the list of naval appointments we notice that I.ieut. Alex. Murray, of this city, has been detached by the Navy De partment from the Louisiana, and ordered to the command of the United States steam gunboat Sebago. Slight. Fire. The alarm of fire yesterday afternoon about two o'clock was caused by the igni turn of a kettle of roofing mixture in front of a stable in the rear of the Eagle Hotel, Liberty street, it having been upset .into the fire by a runaway horse. A great smoke was produced, but no damage was done. Hunting a Doctor. Mayor Drum yesterday committed to jail, charged with "intent to commit a fel ony," Charles Roth and Henry . Heierytaio Germans arrested for entering various houses in Allegheny, under pretense of hunting a doctor. Allegheny School Tax. At a meeting of the Allegheny Board of Control, held on Wednesday evening, it was resolved that the same rate per mill be levied and assessed for school tax as lnst year, viz: six mills on the dollar.

CAIRO, May 7 Our city was thrown into a state of fer ment and excitement last evening, by a re port'that Paducah had been captured. It turned out to be a big scare.. Some of Curtis' Cavalry, out on a reconnoissance from Fort Heiman, encountered some of Clay King's rebel Cavalry. It was report ed that he had captured about two hundred of our men. Some of our men escaped and came into Paducah, and reported that Clay King followed them to the edge of the town. General Strong immediately sent two regiments to reinforce Colonel Noble. The steamer Liberty passed by here to day without stopping. General Strong at. once sent a steamer after her and placed the officers under arrest. ItNvas a misun derstanding on the part of the captain. He lauded some coal barges about a mile above town, and was on his way to get some empty barges. His employers are furnishing coal to the government. Nothing of importance to-day from the Tennessee river. Skirmishes still contin ue between our advance pickets and those of the enemy. Some of our cavalry made a charge on some rebel pickets and drove them back, and discovered, as they sup. posed, on the opposite side of the creek, two pieces of artillery; but when they capi. tured them they turned out to be wooden ones.
