The army appropriation bill, as report
ed in the House from Ways and Means,
amounts in the aggregate to $529,000,-

the estimates of Secretary STANTON,
which were made in November last. It
follows that no appropriations are made
in the above bill for the 200,000 addition

bounties; for regulars are provided for
($5,000,000) but it recites nothing as to
bounties to volunteers. On the Bth of
January, Senator WILSON stated there
were from six hundred and fifty to seven

Incendiaries About.—At an early
hour yesterday morning an alarm of fire
was given, caused by the burning of the
"Point • Planing Mill," owned by Bun
ton, Miller & Co., and situated on the
corner of Penn and Duquesne streets in
the First Ward. The fire broke out in
the first story, and owing to the combus
tible nature of the material with which
the establishment was filled, the flames
spread with unexampled rapidity. Our
firemen were promptly on the ground,
but their,efforts to save the building were
unavailing, and in less than an hour from
the time the first alarm was given but lit
tle beyond the bare walls remained. The
establishment was one of the most ex
tensive and valuable of the character in
the city, and its destruction, especially
at a time like the present, when all our
mills are worked to their utmost capaci
ty, and are still unable to supply the
orders pouring in upon them, must be a
source of heavy loss to its proprietors.
The firm are insured for $B,OOO, but this
will fall far short of covering their loss.
The fire broke out in the rear of the
building, and from all the circumstances
connected with it. but one conclusion --

Soldier Drowned.—Joseph C.

in the Potomac, six miles below Cumber
land, on the 2d inst. The body was re
covered and a relative has gone to take
charge of it and bring it to this city for
interment. Deceased was a son of Mr.
.Tas. Cochran, the well known iron rail
ing manufactuter of this city, and was
for many years connected with the Daily
Union and other papers. He was an en
ergetic, intelligent young man, and his
loss will be , leeply regretted by a wide
circle of acquaintances.
A Steam Mill.—The Williamsport
(Pa.) Chroni4e, put)lished in the year
1811, says : "A. steam mill has been
erected at Marietta and lately put in op
peration—the workmanship is generally
allowed to be far superior to the one at
Pittsburgh." The Chronicle then urges
upon those who have the means to build
a carding machine, cotton manufactory
or some similar establishment in Wil
liamsport, so as to "cope with the spirit
of improvement which pervades our
neighbors.

Soho escaped from the House of Refuge,
December 3d, 1862, was arrested on the
