The Commissary stores. including a
portion Of the Ordnance Department
stores in Nashville, Tenn. were destroy
ed by fre on the right Of H. Esd. The
loss is estimated at nearly a million Of
dollars. The fire originated 10 the Ord

negligence Of suberdinatei and spread
with such rapidi,y that the efforts of the
soldiery and FIRE department were unable
to extiugulsh the famcs. Several times
some Of the most valuable buildings in
the city were on fire, having caught from
the showers of ciaders that Tell upon
them, but they were finally saved at she
risk Of life. There was an immense
mount Of shot and shell and fuses Of the
superior French pattern contained in one
