pEsrRUcr;E FIREl--We regret to learn that
on last Saturday evening the residence of THOMAS
RANEy, Esq, of this county, was entirely consum-
ed by firel The fire originated in the frame por-
ton Of tho dwelling, and as the wind was high
and blowing from the west the dwelling was soon
u heap of ruins. At the time the fire broke out
there was not man on the place, and therefore
very little of the contents were saved All of his
supply of groceries--hour, sugar. coffee, &c.,
together witha large amount of furniture, bedding,
bsd-clothing, and the clothing of the family was
burned. Amongst the consumed property, was a
very fine Piano and large amount of other velu-
abies. We are however, glad to learn that most
Of Mr. s. E. Ramey's (Sherif,) official papers were
saved, though he lost great many of his papers,
receipts, &C., and nearly all of his clothing. 1t is
thought that the fire was caused by little negro
boy sweeping the hearth and setting the broom
on fire, which communicated the flames TO the
building. We do not suppose that the dwelling
could he replaced and furnished as it was very lit
tie short of eight or ten thousand dollars This is
indeed sad calamity just at this particular time
when everything is so very scarce and high.

EXPLASAToRY.-Last week we took occasion to
speak of the conduct of a military official, in what
we theu aud now, believe to be censurable, for
his masters business. As some persons have con-
strued the article as a reflection upon our worthy
Gu rtermaster Geo D. Martin, we assure him that no
such reflection, if any was intended, as we had no
knowledge of Mr.. Martins having anything to do
in the matter. Our remarks were intended to APP
have had no cause to reflect, in any manner, upon
Mr.. Martin either in his official private capacity
for 50 far we are advised he has discharged his
duties as Quartermaster to the atisaction of all
concerned

never so rapid in Virginia and Missouri as now
The involuntary emigration of the negroes in Mis-

them. The following intelligence from Virginia, is
received through the recently returned prisoners
from Richmond -rt
'The sales of negroes, usual at the close of the

neA- The Washington correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer in his letter of January 3D. gives
the following interesting information:
The health of the army here Is exceedingly good
and but few deaths are occurring compared witt
the immense number Of soldiers in the field By
returns in the War Department up to the 22d oil
December, learn that the mortality in our army
since the war broke out will reach %, 600 men,
The number killed in battle, skrmishes, &c, i
about IL 900, and the number wounded 17,000.-
These figures may appear startling TO great many
but they are reliable. The number of prisoner
South and soldiers deserted and missing is abou
5000. The entire strength of our army, as b.
returns in the Adjutant Generals Office, foots N
900; about 100000 now reported as fit for ser
vice. s -.

patriotic ladies to the sick soldiers IN our midst
Many OF the ladies working in their behalf ev-
cry day-buta few cannot do all the work-and
many little necessaries for the sick arc needed,
which we know viii be supplied when our ladies
are made aware of the fact. A system of opera
ton has been adopted at the Hospitals by which
all can be useful, and none now need be kept away
through timidity or other cause. We believe the
mere statement that the services Of the ladies are
needed will meet with prompt response.
