+ e n Ste q m b ats Burned

PITTsBuRGH, May Z.
A dreadful fro is now raging at tho wharf,
and ten boats are already burned, viz: Bel
mont, Council Bluffs, Jennie Gray, Potomac
Jas. Wood, JOS. II. Conn, Pamela, Cremona,
and Commerce.
SEcoNp DISPATCH, r. M.-The FIRE has
been repressed. The South America and
Economy, loaded with Eastern freight, es-
capped. There was no freight in the other
boats.
TIE PARrIcULARs.--At q quarter past IL
FIRE broke out in the steamer Henry Graf,
which quickly communicated to the adioin-
ing boats, and in less than five minutes ten
steamboats, were enveloped in flames, which
soon proved . total loss. The flames spread
with terrific rapidity, and the heat was 80
great that fears were entertained for the
safety of the warehouses on Water street,
the exertions of the fremen being principally
devoted to them. The amount OF freight on the
boats was not large, and some little the wharf
was destroyed. The Pennsylvania R. R., with
her usual good luck escaped almost SCOT free.
Her shipments OF merchandise for West
were on board the Economy and South Amer
ica, which escaped, the latter fortunately
having steam up was the means of saving all
the other boats. Some thirty, now here, from
total destruction. She took feet of four
boats nearest to those on FIRE, and towing
them away, left a gap which made it possible
to save the rest.

John Smith, (of courss), who emigrated
from Wisconsin to Pixies Peak in March,
writes letter back to his brother giving an
account Of his experience. We make the
following extracts:
Last night two hundred Indians came to
rob Us Of set Of silver spoons and fine
comb that my wife had used on the children,
and we barricaded our house with rocks of
gold until they could not gain sdmittance,
and were forced to beg to make friends with
US. The chief laid down his weapons and
came into our camp, when my wife used tho
fine comb on his head till his gratitude was
as lively as his head was, and he was SO
tickled that he offered to marry my wife,
and show mo where gold was plenty. |
loved my wife-you know that, George; but
thinking that might die before | got rich,
and feeling that must mske some property
to leave my children, consented to the
match, and she has gone of with the Indian,
who is great chief, and taken the fine comb
with her. Come out with your wife, and
bring fine comb, brother George.
The country here is fine, but the winds are
awful. My boys got so light with eating
roots that can only keep them BY me, or
together, by piling Jumps of gold about as
big as mallets on their shirt tails, as the lit
tie innocents set down on the grass to play.
Everything grows here. can raise twenty
bushels of wheat to the acre. Oranges,
lemons, and all snch colored fruit, grow wild
here; while melons, pears, apples, peaches
and apple dumplings are so plenty they find
no market.
| Come out here, dear brother, by oil means.
Yours, affectionately, JoHx SMITH.
