FRE.-Soon after 5 O'Clock this morning,
the Editor Of this paper having just returned
from Burlington on the steamer Northeruer,
accidentally or ProvidentiAIly cams up into
the Office and Immediately perceived strong
smell Of ere. On opening the door Of the
closet 10 the rear end Of the Job Room, the
flames burst forth. Fortunately one or two
buckets Of water were CLOSE by, and were
used With good sfect. Mr.. Howell then
quietly called out OF tho window for help,
and Immediately several men, whose names
We could not get, procured water, and tho
ERE Vas put out before any damsgs was
done.
Its quite probable that the Ere Was start
Cd by an inccndiary, as 90 FIRE or lights OF
any kind were had ia the Job Office after
O'Clock last night BY asy Of the men employ.
ed 10 the Office, and paper shaviDgs we're
seen scattered along up the 6ret fight Of
stairs into the Job Room. An incendiary
who wanted to make sure work, would be
very apt to start fire just ~ this was
started.

MADISON, lad. April l7th.--The excite
ment increases here daily. One volunteer
company, about 100 men, under the com
mand of Capt. J. G. Sullivan, left here at
$50 P. NJ. for indianapolis. The scenes
at the depot were very affecting-some SOL
diers shedding tears while bidding their re-
latives and friends good bye. A patriotic
speech was made by Capt. Sullivan just be-
fore the train started. a salute was fred
in honor Of the Union and the Constitution.
This was the first volunteer company ac-
cepted by Adjutant General Wallace. Two
other military companies leave tomorrow
for the State rendezvous A home guard,
numbering zoe, has been organized, and be-
gan drilling tonight. The number will be
increased to 500 or 500 men. So.
