GENERAL: am directed BY the Presi-,
dent to call your attention to the following
subject:
Persons claiming to be held 10 seryiceo or
labor under the laws Of the State OF Viz.
ginia, and actually employed 10 hostile ssr-
vice against the Government Of the Uolted
States, frequently escape from the lines o.
the enemy's forces, and are received With
10 the lines of the army Of the Potomac.
This Department underatands that susEl
persons, afterwards coming into the cisyo
Washington, are liable to be arrested by
the city police, upon the presumption; ari.
sing from color, that they are fagitiyss
from service or labor. By the fourth sec.
tiou Of the act Of Congress, approved Au.
gust 6, 1861, entitled Gan act to con6scate
property used for insurrectiouary purposes,
such hostile employment Is made q full and
sufficient answer to any further claim sos
service or labor. Persons thus employed
and escaping, are received into the military
protection Of the United States, and their
arrest as fugitives from labor or service /:
should be Immediately followed by the !
military arrest Of the parties masking thsst
seizure. 80 s ~ Il 81,

FURTHER PARTICULARS.


Yesterday was gloomy day for Charles
ton. Business was universally suspended,
and, With one impulse, our community uni
ted in giving sympathy and aid to the vic
tins Of the great public calamity
Our report, in our last issue, Of the pro.
gress Of the fire, closed at quarter past Ave
o'clock on yesterday morning, when the
majestic spire Of the Cathedral had jus,
tottered and crashed heavily through the
burning roof. From that time the disas,
ter may be said to have assumed a new
phase. The flames leaped madly across
Broad street, and forsaking the business
neighborhoods which they had already des.
olated, they seemed to devote their whole
fury against the elegant private residences
which have so long been the pride of the
Southwestern portion of our city. As these
beautiful homestcads succumbed, one after
another, 70 the resistless march of tue des
troyiug element, the scene was awful.
The fire advanced steadily coward, stop
ping only when having reached the river
it had nothing more to burn. We give
some notes of the disastrous results:
The Cathedral Of st. FIaJar.-This
splendid structure, built only about eight
years ago, was justly rated one Of the finest
architectural ornaments of our city. 1t wat
constructed of brown stone, in very mas
sive aod costly manner. All the sacred
vessels we're saved. The Bishops resi-
dence, attached to the Cathedral, contained

form upon nll species Of property, includ-
ing slaves. and to hare the Senate, like
the House, represented according to the
white population This suppose, the
Western ncmGers will do, unless they
shall be more dcsirous of popularity here
than at home. f
On yesterday the House, on motion of
Mr.. Robertson. of Richmond City, adopted
resolution directing the Governor. ne a
measure OF present peace, to telegraph the
President OF the United States, and the
Governors of all the Southern States, rex
q1estipg them forj the ptesent to let all
matters in regard. to the forts and nrsenals
10 remnin 4tGFu quo, and await events and
see If the present unfortunate differences
cannot yet be reconCiled. This resolution
ty-iuS having been communicated to the
Senate, elected in that body, quite an cx-
citing debate, which lasted all day--the
ultra seecssionists opposing, and the mod
erlteS advocating II. Finally the ultras
trinmphed, and hy. n VOte OF "a agninst.2O
amended it by4slriking out the request to
the Southern States, SO as totlenvc them
free To act as they pleased, but requesting
the President TO leave tue condition ofythe
forts and tIrsenais unprotected, rs they.
now are. Before the vote, however, was
taken upon the resolution, as amended. the
Senate hy II decided vote referred the res
olntion to n special committee for n report.
On yesterday Senator Stuart offered !.
joint resolution deprecnting any organiza-
tion iu Virginia for the purpose of attack
ing either The forts within her limits, OF
tor any demonstration against the Federal
Capital, and instructing the Governor to
to use NIL means in his power to put
down any such organization, if such one
there is or shall be. This being ii Joint
resolution, under the rules lies over one
day for consideration, aud was not reached
Io-duy because of the long debate upon
,Mr. Robertson's House resolution,
The sculptor CAN'T has finished his con-
tract with tue State for JctFersons statue,
and it is now in a room in the Mechanics
Institute, attracting many visitors, prepar-
atory to IFS removal to its PEDESTAL.

MIR. B. 7. Babbitt, OF New York, last week
received letter from the imaginary firm Of
SHERMAN & Co.." New Haven, inquiring tho
price of goods. The information was sent, and
nothing more was thought Of the matter for
three or four days, when man entered their
store, having in bis hand u roll Of money with
which he desired TO settle Sherman & Co. & ac-
count" Mr.. Babbitt "had sold tho firm no
goods, but had merely sent them price list,
as per request. The stranger said it was no
doubt AL right; that the order had evidently
been delayed. and that he would call again.
The order for sundry articles Of groceries did
come "a hand by the next mal-the sherman
4 Co, New Haven, Conn. printed across tho
top Of the letter giving it quite a businessliko
appearance. II also said that their agent in
Now York would call and settle hence they
would see the justice of making the customary
discount for cash. The order was filed with
out the least picion-seyeral boxes Of starch,
saeratus, &c, being sent to the boat under
the suggestion that their prompt friend would
soon make ms appearance. lie didn't come.
On Monday, man called at the Auction and
Commission Store Of Mr.. &. +. nU'chklss, un-
der our office, and stated that he had lot Of
goods which had come into his pOssessio on In tho
way OF trade, and that he he desired TO dispose
OF them by auction sale. There was nothing
unusal about this, and Mr. II. agreed 10 sell
the groceries on commission Two or three hun
dred dollars worth were brought up from the
attracted the attention Of ,pecial officer William
7. Addison who thought the stranger acted
rather suspicou,ly. lie took from the boxes and
barrels the marks Of several firms in New York
and telegrGphed to thom for information. They
promptly replied that they were "out' a guam
tity Of goods shipped TO Sherman 4 Co., and
that they were anxiously waiting for tho
'agen',' which the several orders had said
would call and cash the bill. This agent
had in each instance called and OH red TO settle,
Jetore me orcLr hIi been rtcsired thus disArm-
ing all suspicion. NJ
The victims desired the officer TO arrest the
party, and a warrant was procured, but tho
'business partner had closred. lie had sue
ccoded in obtaining from Mr.. IIotchkiss 900 in
advance, and was To call in the evening for tho
balance. lie probably became frightened and
left. He had hired the store. No, / Washing

intended 10 do a wholesale grocery business, and
advertised here to that effect. lie never took

Religious Condition of the "Contraband..,

TIE American Missionary Association have
sent the Rev. J. G. Lockwood to Fortress Mon
roe, on a religious mission to the colored reiu-
gees at that point. lie reports many interesting
facts, from which we select the following:
Among them are many pous souls, but they
are, in this distracted state Of things, without
any one to watch over them, or to give them re-
ligious instruction. Destitute and desolate as
they are, they are endcayoring TO keep up re-
l'gious meetings on the Sabbath and more
affecting and touching sight twas scarce ever pre-
scented.
Last evening, while convorsing on the piazza
Of the hotel, overheard music, and directed
my footsteps thithor, and in long building
just outside the entrance Of the Fortress, found
a number Of colOrod people assembled for "A
prayer meeting. The brother " no led in the
concluding prayer prayed that lie who brought
Israel out Of Egypt, Jonah out OF tho mouth Of
the whale, and Daniel out the den of lions,
might bring them out into full deliyerance,
spiritually and temporarily.
81 told my mission in few words and the
message was received with deep, half-uttered
expressions Of gladness and gratitude. They
assured me that this was what they had been
praying for, and now that ''the good Lord had
answered their prayers, they felt assured that
some great thing was in store for them and
their people. There are some peculiartics in
their prayer. meetings. Their responses are not
boisterous, but in the gentle chanted style.
Their themes are generally devotional, but
they have prime deliyerance melody that runs
in this style;
$50 down to Egypt tell Pharaoh,
THUS saith my servant, Moses, LIT my people co."
Accent ON the last syllable, with repetition Of
the chorus.
| find them religious people, and rcmarkl-
bly, intelligent, considering their circumstances
They gave me a hearty, Christian welcome
Arrangements were made for three services on
the Sabbath. Other meetings will be arranged
for week day evening. ! want rs soon rs pos
sible, TO visit The people at their dwellings, as
certain who are Christians, combine them to
gether in church capacity, and labor, with the
divine blessing, for their spiritual edidcation
and the conversions of souls
There will he a sufficient number Of soldiers
and Others who will engage in Sabbath School
instruction. Gen. Wool is actively engaged
with rs in the arrangement Of places, Sc.
The contrabands' receive regular rations
rom Government, and large number are en-
plOy in public service. Others are industri-
ously contributing toward their own support in
various kinds Of employment. Several engage
| in fishing, claiming and oysterlng. ] think
that before winter sets in there will be abundant
room for charity in clothing bedding, sc.
So far as ! have observed, there is no intern
perance among them. Those who are able are
engaged in labor OF some kind, and they work
| as industriouslv as white labOrcrs and more so
than many. The men work with will because
| they work in hope of liberty. They have a great
| thirst for knowledge.
