Fate AT Till CAPITOL.—(I4 'OM the Wash.
'ngton National Intelligencer, Dec: 240—About
12 o'clock on Thursday night, Vincent, the ser-
geant of the guard on duty at the Capital, being
apprised of an unusual light in the apartment of
the Library of Congress, alarmed• the librarian,
who instantly came to the spot„ and on opening
the doors, perceived a part of the gallery (of
wood) which runs round the apartment .to be on
fire. He immediately removed the books in the
alcove adjoining, and the alarm being spread, the
citizens promptly assembled. An engine and
hose were brought, and by the active. exertions
of the firemen, aided by a number of members of
Congress, who vied with one another in there ex.'
ertious to save the Library, the !lames were exact.
guished in less than an hour. Very few of the books,
and those of little value, are consumed. Some
others, of course, are injured by the wets and by
a hasty removal; but the loss is trifling to what
might have been expected. The ceiling of the
saloon is partly destroyed, and one of the alcoves
of this beautiful apartment. It is believed that
jthe fire originated from a candle left in the gal.
lery by a gentleman who was reading there till
a late hour, and which, being,' up stairs, was
not noticed when the Library 'was closed. The
unusual-light was perceived by Mr. Everett, of
the House of Representatives, who was returning
to his lodgings from an evening party, and who
indicated it to the guard. Among the members
earliest roused, and most active, were 1111. nous-
ton, Mr. Webster, 111 r. Dwight, and._Mr.. Wick-
liffe. Mr. Wa rd, of New York, narrowly escaped
great injury from the falling of the plaster: Few
of the citizens were roused, and the members Of
Congresit are,entitled to:much of the credit .of
having saved the Library and all the perishable
part of the building.
