GREAT DISASTER.
City Block Raced to tho Ground.
About 40 Business Firms Burned Out,

We have just returned from witness
ing one of the most serious confagra-
tons that has occurred in our city since
the great fire which destroyed large
portion Oft some years ago. The alarm
of fire was sounded by the boats at the
landing, little after 10 o'clock last
night, and soon thousand of citizens
were hurrying to the City Buildings, be-
ing directed there by the light OF the
fast spreading flames. The City Block
occupied the space between market and
Walnut streets, the levee and alley be-
| hind. and consisted of, we believe, thir-
teen distinct stores, five stories high in
front, and four at the back. The block
was occupied by probably forty different
firms, the names of all of which we have
not learned. We are unable at this late
hour to give an extended account of the
fire, and will, there fore only state that
in very short time the entire block was
a mass of burning and smouldering ruins
the walls having fallen down in different
sections.
The wind was blowing III steady
and strong breeze from the southeast,
and carried the flames first over the I'M
finished Chamber of Commerce, fine
new building in course of erection; but
as there was little of anything but brick
and there, ii escaped comparatively
uniniured. Several, if not all of the
hand engines were speedily on the spot
and the fremen, every one, as we obsery-
| ed, performed their duties manfully, and
many acts of daring were performed by
them, in the sight of some thousands
who had assembled at the scene. Il
was a scene Of wild grandeur, but ex,
lpressions of regret were frequently tc
be heard, that this splendid block, ar
ornament to the city, should be so ruth
leSsly destroyed.
The firms, as we wrote them down
from the sign boards on the front of the
buildings during the progress of the fire
are these:
Anderson q Lamaroux, Belts q Mel
len, Naples Packet a. Co., S Sanderson,
Scott & Whitelaw, W o Wheeler, S J
Wetherell 81 Co., Mason Johnson, James
f Darst, NJ Z Power, S NJ Edgel 81 Co..

Theobald q Co, d Ridnel, IL Whitmore
J e Elder, Sanford 81 Crane, Anglerodt
& Barth, McEnnis q Co., L G Angle
rodt, John j Roe, Corcran & Mulhol
land.
These firms include boat stores, liquor
dealers, produce and forwarding mcr-
chants, and other business. The en-,
tire loss will not fall short, probably, OF

The Free State Prisoners in Kansas
Their Condition and Treatment.

The prisoners held in confinement at
Lecompton by the orders of the Federal
Administration have furnished a state
ment of the circumstances attending
their arrest, and their treatment III the
place where they are confined. We
make the following extracts from this
deeply interesting statement, commend
ing it to the attention of all who stlll
think this is free country, and one IN
which the lives, persons, and property
of its citizens are protected by the laws.
The statement gives the particulars OF
the march of Col Harvey and his men
from Lawrence to dislodge Robertson,
who had, in spite of Gov Geary's proc
lamation ordering him to disband his
party, plundered and burned the village
of Grasshopper Falls. Col Harvey
drove these maIauders from their posi-
ton, and the narrative continues:
"On our return, we encamped I'VE
miles from the scene of action, where
we were all taken prisoners that night,
by detachment of L. ,. dragons, I'M
der command of Capt. Wood Our
forces numbered one hundred and one.
No resistance was made to the troops.
After being deprived four arms,a strong
guard was placed upon us. About this
time, the guide of the dragons, pro
slavery man named Grayson, fearing
that Capt. Wood might very possibly
arrest the other party also-as intlma.
tons were made to that effect-broke
through the guard, for the purpose
doubtless of warning them of such re-
suit. lie was hailed by the sentinel
but did not stop, at the same time cry
ing out, ''Halt yourself, Cd d-n you.
the sentinel fired at him without effect
Grayson returned the fire, his shot tax.
ing effect in the sentineps shoulder
Two other sentinels then advanced and
fired, one ball going through Grayson'E
heart, killing him instantly. This is the
only foundation for the story of Il 'grea
fight" between the abolitionists and the
government troops; so much circulated
by certain parties.
The next day we were marched tC
Lecompton, where we were for the first
week under guard of the Federal troops
| w were then marched to the prison
house, where we now are, guarded by
the territorial militia, nine-tenths o
whom are non-residents and intend leav
ing the territory as soon as the time o
their three months enlistment under
Geary shall have expired. \ number
of other prisoners have been brought IL
since, charged with various otfenses.-
A number have escaped from this der
Of horror, q few have been discharged
and one was released this morning by
the Great Deliverer. Our number is
now ninety-eight, eighty-seyen of whom
are held on the Hickory Point charge
The remaining eleven are suspected o.
having been engaged i'll feeding then
starving families with bread torcibly ia
ken from those who were endeavoring
to destroy them. Time after time Gov
Geary said that no action should be TIA
ken concerning political offences com
mitted previous to the issue of his proc
lamation, yet more than once has he
used that portion of the Federal army
under his command, to make seizure OF
persons so charged.

Kansas Land Sale.

A gentleman who left Kansas on
Thursday last, says that the government
sale of the Delaware Reservation was
progressing quietly; and that the squat
ters, whether Free State or Pro-Slayery,
were generally bidding in their claims
at the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS; though,
at the same time, unoecupied lands, ell
lgioly situated, were bringing exhorbit-
ant prices. About two thousand stran-
gers were in the Territory, it is suppos-
ed, with at least a million and half of
gold, much of which will be brought
back uninvested. The settlers have
what is well known in nlinois-elub-law
by which impertinent bidders are kept
quiet until the actual occupants of the
soil are served with al they want
