troops, as brigade after Brigade arrived,
were marched through the different streets
Of the town and exchanged sharp firing with
rebels hidden in many of the houses. S.
Each building, as they progressed, was
cleaned OF Its inmates, and, at dusk, after
the proper posting of guards the men occu-
pied the houses, cooked their suppers, and
composed themselves for sleep. They were

their blankets were slung over their should.

ARTILLERY.

Over a hundred guns were thus pointed
at the devoted city. Had the batteries been

would have been far created.
FREDERICKSBURG on FIRE.
The town tonight presents Il brilliant but
sorrowiul spectacle. The flames increase
and houses fall oneaftcr another, within their
lisAtiate grasp. Buildings are being leveled
to arrest their progress. The spectacle is
being contemplated by numerous otiicerr

bank, who has deserted his residence, and

been used to-day as a hospital, and the
floors of the spacious parlors are pentifuly
stained with blood, severed limbs and pieces
of flesh, painful mcmcntoes of day of

could often he heard in the momcntary
intervals of cannonading.

placed in position, and presents very
handsome appearance. The present
hight of the iron work above the base
ment floor of the capitol is two hundred
and fifteen feet, and the hight of the
portion yet to be constructed, including
the browning statue, is about seventy
feet. The whole quantity of iron re-
ceived from the beginning of the work
up to the present time was about seven
and half millions of pounds, and, ac-
cording to the estimates of the architect,
about eight hundred thousand pounds
more will be needed to complete the
work. The dome will be crowned with
Crawford's gigantic and imposing statue
of Freedom" which is nineteen and a
half feet high, and weighs about fifteen
thousand pounds. This statue is made
entirely of bronze, and is composed of
five sections. The entire cost of the
statue was about $4,000. The sum of
100000 has been appropriated by
Congress for the dome, the most OF
which has been expended.

ORR MINERAL RrCHEs.--In the report Of
Judge Edmunds, Of the Land Office, to the
Secretary Of the Interior, it is stated that
prior to the gold discoveries in California, the
gold product of the world amounted only to
$4,000 900 annually, while that of California
alone now amounts to $4,000 900. A min
ing claim consists Of one hundred square feet,
aid 4 all the mining lands Of California.
Nevada and New Mexico were divided into
claims paying revenue Of s per cent on
their products, an income of $4,000, 900
annually would be obtained for the national
Treasury. Some recent discoveries OF quartz
reins have been very profitable. as the unartx
has yielded as much as S2D,U00 per TIM
The report states hat ' the deeper a vein is
worked the richer is the ore.'' This is in
opposition to the opinions Of the most able
biologists. California quartz is therefore an
exception to the quartz Of most other coun-
tries. The gold region stretches from 40
degrees north latitude to 81 degrees 30 min,
and from tho l02nd degree Of longitude to
the Pacihc ocean.
