Loss by FIRE-We mentioned few days since,
that the Touring mill of John d. Alexander, Esq,
had been destroyed by fire. We have learned
since that tho total loss was about $4,000, of
which $4,000 is covered by insurance in three
different companies, 5000 being in the Lynch
burg Company.
The fire it Is supposed originated by friction
communicating to a wooden wheel, the only one of
the sort used in the mill, and which was to have
been superseded by an iron one.
The worthy gentleman whose loss is thus recor-
dcd, has the sympathy of many friends.
Coop BEEr-The very finest specimen of Drum
and Ribbon Beef that we have ever seen, was ex-
hibited yesterday at the Market House by Mr..
John Grouse. II was from the steer that was ex-

Petersburg, taking the premium at each Fair, over
are about four inches of fat ON the ribs The an
imal was raised BY Thos. L. Preston, E.q, at the
Salt Works in Washington county. Persons de-
string to see such beef as is not often seen in q
lifetime, can be accommodated by calling on Mr..
Grouse at his stall this morning.
A SAN PArcH LEAp.-Yesterday about noon
negro nen, slave to Col. Garrett employed at the
tobacco factory of Mr.. Morris Moore, on Church
Street, was very seriously injured under the fol-
lowing circumstances: 1t appears that Mr.. Bass,
the overseer in the factory, ordered the negro to
do certain work which he refused to do, and ac-
companed his refusal with some insolent language
Mr.. Bass at once attempted to chastise him, but
the negro turned on him. and would doubtless have
overpowered him, had not Mr.. B. drawn a pis-
tol, which frightened the furious darkey, as to
cause him to jump from the window, which is on
the second story Of the building. into the lot ad-
joining The result of his attempted imitation of
Sam Patch, was the.dislocation Of his hip and the
breaking of an arm.
This circumstance might perhaps afford u
good text from which to indite homily in regard
t. the general insolence which characterizes the
negro population Of Lynchburg, but as we have
been too long connected with newspapers to have
any pecuniary interest in the peculiar instiu-
tion" we turn the matter over to the earnest con-
sileration of those who have both experience and
interest in that sort Of property-if they are not
able to control their darkies. shall certainly not
make an attempt in that direction.
