On Sunday morning last, between oua and
thi.c o'dUyh, two fires occurred in Washington
evidently the work Of inrondilrics. They were
attended by circumstances indicating very
strongly that they We're planned as accessories
to a rescue of the female prisoners recently ar

one oI them for reasonable correspondence with
the enemy. The tire, were In the vicinity of
this residence Directly after the alarm was
sounded for the first one, party Of men, none pf
whom were recognized, made a persistent at
tempt 10 force the guard, under the pratcnce Of
rescuns the ladies' from the flames. The guard
WAS compelled to charge bayonets upon them to
prevent a rescue. When the second alarm was
given, another group Of mcn cautiously ap-
proache the guarded house. but finding the
soGtluels on the alert, did not attempt to obtain
an entrance. These circumstances have induced
the belief that the incenliarism was palm of
the rebel friends of the guarded female rebels
to rescue them, and in the midst Of the excite
ment Occasioned by the fire. place them in con-
cealment out Of the reach Of the government, to
mjure which they have sacrificed everything
pertaining to their sex. This occurrence is ano-
ther evidence Of the existence, within the very
walls of our capital, Of body of traitors ready
TO resort to any act Of vandalism, however out
rsgeous, TO embarrass the government aud aid
the traitors IN arms against It.
