The LATE FIRE At prrrsEuaG, Pave copy from
Pittsburg paper, Of the 10th inst, the following
account of the destruction of the Fort Pitt cannon
works, owned by Messrs. Knapp, Wade & Co :,
which occurred on Thursday morning last:
The fire was first seen issuing from the engine
and finishing shop. The firemeu worked with a
will and strained every nerve to subdus the flames
but the dry material with which the upper story
Of the building was filled. coupled with the fact
that high wind prevailed at the time, rendered
their efforts useless, and the destroying elements
swept on, nor was it checked in ts wild career
until the entire works were reduced to heap OF
ruins.
The flames extended from the engine and finish
ing shop to the other buildings, consumed in turn
the boiler and smith shop, the foundry, the can
non boring mill, the Office sheds, &c. The main
buildings were all large and substantial, and
stored with very valuable machinery. Five steam
engines were destroyed, aud an immense quantity
OF the choicest and the most valuable patterns
