sc. SC. sc. Sc.

The steamer HenYy FTtzhugh arrived at the
wharf this morning, bringing the following
interesting news of battle near Gauley:
Captain Frank Cahill, of this city, who is
stationed at Cannelton with his company,
reported to the officers that he was in re-
ceipt of dispatch late on Sunday afternoon
from Gauley, stating that fighting had been
going on all day between Rosecrans and
Floyd. The cannonading was heard dis
tinctly at Cannelton, which place is about
ten miles below Gauley. Floyd's purpose
seemed to be to cut off communication
through the ferry.boat, which plies across
the river. -. .-
General Benham, with large force, was
four miles below Gauley and two miles above
Loupe Creek, and had crossed the river, by
means Of the steamer SilUer Lake, which had
been detained for that purpose. General
Benham is in fair way to cut off Floyds
retreat, and, as soon as his position is made
known to Rosecrans, an advance movement
will be made. Fighting was going on at
the time the boat left, and everything indi
Gated speedy capture of the rebel forces.
On Sunday night body of three hundred
Secesh cavalry were at Clifton, with a view
to capture whatever steamer might pass.
This place is on the Kanawha River, Eve
miles below Cannelton.
1t was the intention of the officers if they
attempted an attack that night on the FGtz-
hugh, to run up to Loupe Greek, where four
hundred Federal soldiers were then sta
toned. Colonel De Viliers had reached his
regiment, and was out on scouting expedi-
tion, with renewed energies and deter
mination to do or die. The Frtzhugh passed
Guyandotte last night at nine o'clock; only
few houses remained standing. The town
was in complete ruins. Other Secession
houses above the town were on fire when
the boat passed. The steamer left Camel
ton yesterday morning at eight o'clock, and
arrived here between nine and ten O'Clock
this morning, making one Of the quickest
trips on record.
The following were passengers: Lieuten-
ant Wilson, of the Eleventh Ohio; Captain
Catch, Of the Thirty third Ohio; N. S. Joyce
of the Second Kentucky; DR.. Bonsall and
Judge Haslom. The two latter gentlemen
return from trip of distributing blankets
and other articles to the soldiers.

THE HEITMAN SHOOTING CASEY Yesterday
afternoon Clement Heitman was tried in the
Police Court on preliminary examination,
for shooting Richard Creary, at Broadway
Hall, on the Both of October last. From the
evidence, it appeared that he was employed
by the proprietors for that special occasion,
as door keeper and to preserve order Creary
endeavored to enter without paying for his
ticket, and Pendergast Joined with him and
beat Heitman severely, who, after partially
recovering, managed to draw his revolver
and proceeded to take Creary down stairs
After getting him out of doors others ap-
peared to release him, and hence the firing
on Heitman's part. -g.s =
The Court remarked that had he shot the
two men dead while in the house he would
have been perfectly justiiable. But after
putting them out, his power ceased. In his
attempt to take them to the station house he
exceeded his power, he being at the time
under suspension as police officer, the tern
OF which would not expire till the day fol
lowing. Dan
The Court therefore held Heitman uude
bonds of $3.50 for his appearance at tn,
Court of Common Pleas. From the testi
mony it is evident that no jury will eve
find the defendant guilty, and that had tn
shot been fatal, the victim would have me
no more than his just deserts.

NATIONAL THEATER-Ddn Rice.-The Ma
tional Theater when first opened last night
looked rather cheerless, but the contem
plated raising of the parquette will render il
as pleasant place of amusement as could be
desired. The audience, however, the illu'
mination of the gas, the sprightly airs of the
orchestra, and the raising OF the curtain for
the appearance of the brilliant tourney scene
restored our animation and soon set US in the
best possible humor with ourself and the
highest admiration for Dan Rice with hi;
equestrian and dcTobdtic troupe. We shall
take occasion hereafter to speak of the per.
formances in detail, suffice it for the present
to state that they were last night eminently
successful, the only thing approaching
casualty being "the leap for life" in which
the performer lost his grasp of the rope aftel

NEW PORT NE VvS.

HABEAs CoRPUs.-A writ of hdbeaS corpus
was served on Colonel Gus Artzman yester-
day, requiring him to produce the body Of
Jacob Renner, who is alleged to be minor,
illegally detained as a soldier in Colonel A. s
regiment at Camp Webster. The case was
brought before Mayor Hawkins, who dis.
missed it, on the ground that the jurisdiction
of bis Court did not extend beyond the limits
of the city of Newport, and as the body was
not in Court, he had no authority to compel
Colonel ArlZman to produce it. The case
will be tried before Judge Boyd to day.
FINED-William Bushman was fined one
dollar and costs, yesterday, by Mayor Haw-
klns, for committing an assault upon Ber-
nard Strodcsmp. Strodcamp will be ar.
raigned to-day on peace-warrant sued out

from Camp Webster, was arrested in Coving-
ton yesterday, and taken back. After bel ng
placed in the guard house at the cemp, he
set fire to the building, but the flames were
soon extinguished.
CONSOLIDATION The order of the Adiu-
tant General of the State in regard to con
| solidating the fragmentary companies and
regiments throughout Kentuckyis is not likely
to interfere with the regiments forming about
here, as the process of consolidation is a very
slow one, and months may elapse before our
regiments are reached.

Esq, of Newport, who has been appointed by
President Lincoln as Consul at Demerara,

CROWDED HoUsEs.-There are variety of
ways in which our citizens can spend their
evenings in manner agreeable to their
several inclinations. Those who are relig-
iously inclined will not, we assure them, be
disappointed if they visit Christian Chapel,
on the corner of Eighth and Wslnut-streets,
but will hear able discourses from Rev. D. P.
Henderson, of Louisville. Those whose
minds take a literary turn will remember
the lectures already announced to be deliv-
cred in Smith & Nixon's Hall, while those
who like to have their curiosity excited,
their fancy tickled, or their mirth gratified,
will visit the National, Pixies Opera, or
Woods. In all these places thus far the at
tendance has been large, proving that Gin
cinnati does not perceptibly feel the drain
upon her population, caused by the war.

Fire Thls MornInr-ersat Less oE Prop.-

Fire This morning-Great Less Of Prop.
erty-Ineidents, etc.
About seven o'clock this morning an alarm
OF fire was given. Smoke was seen issuing
from house in the rear Of 43 East Front
street, near the extreme end of Cassilly's or
Sausage" Row. Before the engines were on
the ground the flames had burst out, and
were rapidly spreading to the adjoining
buildings. Soon the entire roofs covering
about one-fifth Of the entire row were on fire
the firemen and engines were put to their
utmost test, but II was not until about $4,000
worth of property had been destroyed the
flames were subdued.
The buildings facing on Front-street were
the Missouri House, Olive Branch Hotel, a
barber. shop and two coffee houses; those
fronting the river were all doggeries and
boardipg-houses. A large amount of prop
erty was destroyed and injured by water,
Several of the occupants had their stock in
sured, but owing to the excitement Incl
dental to the disaster, we could not learn the
names of the insurance offices, nor the own
ers Of the doggeries The buildings, we are
informed, belong to William Morris, ESQ.
Almost adjoining the burned houses is
Maldens tent mandatory, employing
great number of females, who, when the
alarm was given, rushed down stairs in the
greatest CONSERVATION and intense excite
ment. Some belonged to departments in the
third story, and it is almost miraculous
number were not killed or injured.
AS it was, a girl named Kate Hand, who
lives on or near the corner of John and Fifth
streets, was severely hurt. In going down
stairs she fell, and was trampled upon by
the afrighted women, who thought ofno one
but themselves. When rescued she was in
sensible, but through the kindness of Mrs.
Maiden she was properly cared for, and about
ten o'clock was removed to her home Quite
number of persons became intoxicated, no
doubt, because they didn't wish to see the
liquors wasted. One chap, judging from his
cut, stevedore, who had no doubt worked
hard, and imbibed toe much, attempted to
carry off shirt or two after the fire was out,
but was detected bya German, who being a
loser, was not in good humor, and called
him tam tief." Stevedore, looking rather
the worse for drink, stammered out, "Say,
boss, (hic) didn't help (hic) you out"
"Yaw, but py tam, shust you ask and me
gives in 10 you" was the reply of the good
hearted Teuton.
The fire is supposed to have originated
through defective flue.
