FIRE.

PITTSBURGH, July 30.
The Duqlesne depot of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Co. accidently took fire about half
past this afternoon, and was entirely con-
sumsd With all its contents. Fire supposed
to have originated in the basement where
about 5000 barrels of oil were deposited.
The flames spread so rapidly that it was i'm
possible TO arrest the FIRE or save anything
in the building. In a quarter of an hour the
entire structure was in a sheet of flames.
All the oil consumed, with ten freight cars
and goods, is not supposed to exceed, in
value, $4,000. The depot was valued at $780,
900. 1t was built in 1854.
The amount of insurance is large, but not
yet ascertained.
All the houses in the rear Of the alley
were mostly occupied by families, number
ing perhaps twenty, and seme dwellings on
Pennsylvania and Liberty streets were con
sumed, besides several badly injured.
All goods to and from the West are trans
ported about two miles from the Duquesne
depot, and none but goods for Pittsburg were
destroyed.
The Railroad Company have taken prompt
measures TO erect temporary building to
accommodate their trade until the depot can
be rebuilt. No inconvenience will result to
the business of the company from this disas
ter.

The following Is the article from the
National Republican Of Washington, alluded
to in our special dispatches Of yesterday. =
It speaks Of Richardson's attack upon the
President in the House;
Mr.. Richardson, who had witnessed the
action at Bulls Run of July ls, and who
had examined the enemys position With a
military eye, was so profoundly impressed
with the hazards of a second attack, unless
preceded by great preparations, involving
time, that be felt it to be his duty TO present
his views personally to the President either
on the Friday or Saturday preceding the
battle of July q. He cannot have forgotten
the reply be received from the President and
if be has forgotten i, others have not to
whom he has reported 1t.
That reply was, in substance, that the FTesi-
dsat must leaVe it 10 Cen. Scott 10 determiRe
he time and place Of giving battle 10 the enemy
The President, we believe, has held no
other language, from first to last or upon
any occasion.
Ii has sometimes been doubted whether
'there is such thing as fact in e world,
but if there is one, established beyond all
possibility of controversy, it is this one, thai
Gen. Scott was not hurried a single day, by
the President into the action Of July 81.
That battle was lost by the junction (unex'
pected to Gen. Scott, and tor which be is moi
primarily responsible) Of the forces Of Gen
Johnston with those of Gen. Beauregard-
There we're other difficulties, but this wa
the turning point of the battle. Gen. SCOT
did not overestimate the valor and efficiency
OF our troops, who would have triumpheC
over all the other obstacles, great as they
were.
The charge against the President upoI
which we have commented, is not one which
Gen. Scott either has made or will make
lie has diselaimed it, and it IS not to hin
that we are replying, but to politicians lik
Mr. Richardson, who are seeking TO maxi
party capital against the President at tn
expense of all fairness, unless it be true tha
in politics everything is iair.

The AshtabuIa Regiment


The raising Of the New Regiment is pro-
crossing finely. On the receipt of the news
of the repulse on Monday last the people
we're all alive to the subject and numbers
were enrolled Immediately We are in the
midst of ''haying," and large proportion Of
the men are confined to work for few days
longer, when the regiment win be filled up
Had not the news improved, over that OF
Monday evening, it would have been full
now, and the men in camp. The corrscIed
reports gave our people time to think and
make more deliberate preparations.
Mr.. Giddings proceeded to Columbus in.
mediately on Tuesday. and mado all the ar
rangements for the mastering of the regi-
ment into the service through the State or
ganizstion, though its acceptance by the Gov
ernment is provided for. The State will
furnish arms uniforms, tents and camp
equippage forthwith. he is authorized to
muster the regiment into camp as fast asthey

port in companies. The eneampment will

There was little news of importance. At
fairs were generally well. Considerable
sickness prevailed. Wilson's men were SUI
feriRg terribly with the heat. The defensive
works and intrenChments on Santa Rosa
Island were progressing and nearly compile

occupy them. No attempts had recently
been made by the rebel privsteers or other
vessels to attempt an entrance, nor had they
even made their appearance in that direction.
The rebel force at Pensacola was believed to
be small, although there were no means of
ascertaining the exact number

WAshlNGfOhj July oV.
Rumors have been current for the past
few days that Beauregard intended to effect
a crossing into Maryland, near Edwards
Ferry, are now generally discredited, as any
such movement would place them at the
mercy of Lieutenant General Scott. Any
movement on Arlington or Alexandria is
considered preposterous.
Col Lander has been appointed Brigadier
General at the instance of Mcclellan and
others.
Stevens of Washington territory is ap-
appointed Col. OF the 18th New York High

Six clerks resigned to-day owing to the

represent the State in -the Congress of the
United States, shall, in addition to the above
penalties, be declared guilty Of treason and
his property confscated.

The Cropn.

The writer hereof visited Springfield last
week, and such fields of corn as greeted his
eye on every side, to use homely old phrase,
''were sight to behold" It all looks very
promising, and as the traveller goes further
South, it is Of course more forward, till, in
the vicinity Of Springfield it shows the tassel.
illiaois will yield most abundant crop Of
corn, as from those who had visited other
parts Of the State, we learned that the fields
look equally promising.
The wheat with perhaps some fields in
Cook and VIII counties, is all harvested, and
from the closeness of the shocks, and the
number of the stacks, there viii be large
crop. This much, at least Is now safe. The
West has an abundance for It's own wants,
