Inc Catcdso ZoHaUss.-Learnipg that the
"Louayes," whose wonderful drill has already
given them world " ide repu tation were to be
Ia Washington City yesterday, and being anx-
ious that they, in common with other citizens
might have al opportunity of seeing aud en-
tertaining them in the metropolis Of the Old
Dominion, the RIoBMoND GRAYs, Capt FL.
liott, held a meeting on Thursday night last,
and appointed their Commander q commi ttes
OF one TO invite them to visit Richmond. Tn
der these instructions Capt. Elliott, yesterday
morning, ielegraphed Commander Ellis
WORTH, at baltimore, inviting his corps here,
MS company proffering to paw all the ex-
penses OF the Zcpayes from Washington 10
this city, whils they remained here and their
expenses back to Washington. Some short

1t is TO be regretted that the Zouayes could
not find time to visit the capital of the Old
dominion, for no people would have given
them kinder welcome, and no citizen soldiers
could have offered them a more cordial recep-
tion. As they found it imposs 81 BILE to accept,
however, it is but justice to our own gallant
Grays to give them credit for the genero US in

tory. The building belongs to Mrs. Sophia C..
Reed, and was damaged to the amount of about
$500 and was not insured. The origin of the fire
was accidental, caused by workman careIessly
placing lamp near still, thereby igniting some
of the escape gas.
Last night, little after seven O'Clock an alarm
was sounded from No. engine-house, caused
by the discovery of fire in the large three-story
brick buildiag, No. East Falls avenue, occupied
by MIR. Jacob Hiss as chair factory The struc-
ture which is about fifty feet wide and one hundred
and fifty feet deep, was filled with combustible ma
teral. The fire burned fercely for about one hour
consuming all the finished work and stock on hand
and destroying rendering useless all the ma
chinery in the building. There was an immense
body of water thrown by the steam engines and
from an examination of the premises after the
flames had been somewhat subdued it appeared that
the walls were not weakened to such an extent as
might have been supposed, but were supported by
the main rafters and heavy timbers of the build
