THE BRITISH BURNING.-The recent fire in
the Capitol has induced the Richmond Dispatch
to give some of the particulars of the destrue-
ton of the old Capitol in 1914. They may be
interesting to our readers:
The British troops, commanded by Gen. Ross,
landed at Benedict, about fifty miles from WASH
ington, and on the 25th August, 1914, attacked
the American forces, consisting almost entirely
of raw militia, at Bladensburg. Ross had with
him 1000 veterans. As might have been eX-
pected, the Americans were soon routed. the only
serious opposition which the enemy met with
having been offered by Com Barney, and a few
soldiers under his command. On the same day
Gen. Ross, accompanied by Admiral Cockburn,
who had already rendered himself infamous by
his plundering excursions on the Chesapeake,
arrived at Washington in the evening, at the
head of 1000 men. The remainder of the army
soon followed and encamped in sight OF the Capt.
tol They commenced the work of destruction
| by burning the house of Il Mr., Sewall, Toliey
of musketry fired from which had killed Gen,
Ross's horse under him. They soon afterwards
set fire to the Capitol which contained the senats
Chamber, the Representative Hall, the Court
Room of the Supreme Court, the Congresslona
Library, and the Legislative archives. Th'
Presidents House, the Treasury Office. the Wa
Office, and the Navy Office, were destroyed i,
like manner They spared, indeed, no publ
building except the General Post Office. whicl

letter writing General iScou has written only let

were rather hasy in their character, and indefinite in
their expressions, showing sad want Of mental arrange
