About four P. M. I received a message' from an Officer from the :Secretary of War, with infortta tion that " he could protect Inc no li, , nger." Soon after this, 1 was informed that the confla-. gration of the Eastern Branch Brid,e had coin- , menced, and ii) a few minutes the explosion an nounced the blowing up of that part near the draw, as had been arranged, in the morniag. • The intended fate of the yard hail before been publicly announced to the neighbours, in,order that they might take every possible precaution for the safety of themselves, fatuities, and property. immediately several individuals came in succes sion, endeavouring to'prevail on -me to deviate from my instructions,, which they were invariably : informed was unavailing, unless they could bring me your instructions, in writing, countermanding those priviously given. . A deputation, also , of the most respectable wo men came on the same errand—when I four a il my self painfully necessitated to inform . th . e . m, that any farther importunities would cause the tnatches to be instantly' applied to the trains,, With assur ance, however, that, if left at peace, I would de... lay the execution of the orders as long as .1 could feel the least shadow of justification. • Captain Creighton's arrival at the yard, with - the men who had been with ',hint. at the bridge (probably about five o'clock), would have justified. me in instant operation, but he also was stt canons ; in the desire to obviate't he intended destruction, . and volunteered to ride out and gain me positive information aS to the position of the enemy, under, the lope that our army plight have rallied pulsed them. I was myself indeed desirous of delay, for .the reason that the wind %vas then blow ing'tresh from SW _ . which would most pro‘ .: • ball' have caused the destruction of all the private. • property north and east of the yard, in its neigh,- bourhood ; being of opinion, also, that the close of the evening would bring with it a calm ; in which, happily, we were not disappointed. Other gentlemen, well mounted, voliinteeret),,as Captain . Creighton had done, to g 6 out anti bring we po sitive intelligence of the enemy's situation, if pos 7 sible to obtain it. , The evening came, and I waited %vitt) much anxiety the return of Captain Creighton, haying . almost continued information that the enemy 'were id the neighbourhood of the Marine liar reeks, at the Capitol Hill ; And thia,t,thair ad vance" was near George ".!'own ; 1 therefore deter mined to ‘vait only until halt-past 'eight: o"clock - ,. to commence the execution of my orders - , becom, ing apprehensive that Captain Creighton had, from his long stay, fallen into the bands of the-,,, enemy. During this delay,. I ordered a ,few marines, and other persons Who .weric then „near ine, to go off in one of the small which was done, and that boatis . saved.. . . Colonel Whallon had been furnished vein: a light boat, with which he left the yard, probably. between seven and eight o'clock.. At twenty minutes past eight, Cap.taln Creigh,- ton 'conned ; he was still extremely advv,rse tc)..• the destruction of the property, hitt having in- formed him that,your orders 'to me wete.inipera- . tive, the . proper, disposition of the boatspe made, the matches were applied, fete moments .the whole was in a state of irretrievable conflagration. ,Wh.en about leaving the wharf, I observed the 'fire had. also commenced at the souks at Gm.. en leaf's Point,;, anthin the..way out of the Branch,. _ we observed the. Capitol on fire. It - had. been my intention not to leave the .einity of the yard with my - boat, during the night; but having Capt. Creighton and other gentlemen with me, she was too much int:ln:in...ld and °Vet laden _to render that determination proper. We .therefore proceeded to Alexandria, in the vicinity of which 1 rested till the morning of the 2 5 th, when' we left Alexandria, at haift-past seven o'clock, and proceeded again up to the yin d,_ where I lauded, unmolested, about a quarter Le- , fore nine. The schooner Lynx had laid alongside of the . burning wharf, still unhurt ; hoping, 'therefore,. to save her, we hauled her to the quarter of the hulk oftheSew.York, which bad aLo escaped the ravages of the flames. . The Detail Issuing...store of the 'Navy Store keener had remained ..Zafe from the lire during the night, which the enemy (being in force in the yard),about eight o'clock set fire to, and it was', speedily consumed. It appeared that they had left the yard about an hour when we arrived. From the number and movements of 'the enemy, it would have appeared rash temerity to have at- `tempted returning again that day; though nay elMation strongly urged it ;" therefore reconnoi tering their motions, as well as conic( be effected, at a convenient distance in the gig, until evening, I again proceeded to Alexandria for the night. Yesterday morning, the 2Gth ; it was impossible to form, from the various and contradictory re ports at Alexandria, any sort of probable conjec , ture either of the proceedings and situation of our army or that of the enemy. Determining, there fore, to have a positive knowledge of some part thereof from occular demonstration, I again em- IVAREI-10:' , ING AND BONDING SYSTEISI.
