at procuring return of that widely scat

FIRE IN New ORLEANs-VERANDsH
HOTEL DEsTKoYED-This beautiful struc-
ture was entirely destroyed by fire on the
morning of the 10Th ultimo. The fire was
first discovered about two o'clock in the
morning, in the rear part of the attic, and
is supposed to have caught from the kitchen
chimneys- The fremen were promptly on
the spot. but the great hei ght of the build
ing, and the remoteness of the fire from the
street, frustrated all efforts to stay it. The
whole attic was soon one sheet of fame, and
the fire descending story at time, rapid
ly enveloped the whole building. There
happened to be but limited number of
guests at the hotel. and no lives were lost ::
nearly all of them succeeded in saving their
baggage But little of the furniture, except
some silver ware, and few other valuable
articles, was saved
The building was the property of Mr..
j. w. ZAcHARIE-was worth from ninety
to one hundred thousand dollars, and was
insured for seventy thousand dollars. Mr..
GALPIN, the lessee of the hotel, estimates
his loss at forty thousand dollars, upon
which he had an insurance of twenty-five
thousand, which. with the losses of the &C.
cupants of the basement, will swell the en-
tire loss by the fire to one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars.

RED FORK GOLD MINES REPORTED HUM
BUG.
The following letter we take from the
Fort Smith Herald.
Mourn OF NEosHo RIVER,
June 25th 1855.
DEAR GEN Il have to-day met num-
Der of men from Springfield Mo-, just re-
turning from the ''gold hunt" They are
very much disguised, Mr.. Pool the gold
man not finding any gold. The party con-
sisted of some 800 men with about 50 wap-
ons. They say that it is very doubtful if
ever Pool arrives in the States, as it was Sc
riously under consideration whether or not
he should loose his scalp. They found the
place where he said there was gold and
where he had dug when he first went out,
But the gold was wanting
He still persisted that there was gold and
was continuing to prospect. But those re-
turning say that it is all humbuc-there
being nothing in the nature of the country
to indicate the presence of the metal
They met good many Comanches all the
Indians were very friendly. am confident
that the statement of these men is correct,
and that the sooner your friends learn it
and give up the thoughts of a visit to this
pseudo Ell Dorado, the better it will be for
their purses and health
Yours in haste,

recently. Messrs. Eads & Nelson, purchased
the United States Snag boats John Bell
and A. III. Sevier-the former for $4,000,
and the latter for $6.O5O The Govern
ment reserves the use of the Sewer until
the first of November next, when she will
be turned over to the purchasers. On the
3Oth of June, the Snag boat Terror, lying

five Snag boats amounts to less than S27, 600.
They cost the Government in the neighbor-
