a crowd soon assembled at the alarm, but
owing to the thoroughly miserable facilities
at hand, coupled with the equally as miser-
able system which seemed to attend every
4 effort to put them in requisition, but little,
if any, Roadway was made against the
flames for half an hour. There was no
water to be had, save what was drawn in
pals from wells in the vicinity, and which
was of just about as much account as the
lowest estimates can put it at. 1t was not
until the idea Of stationing Protection En-
I CINE, No. 2, at the large cistern of Mr.. G..
II. Root, that any ground was gained. By
this time the building was little better than
a mere shell, and all that could be done was
to adjoining buildings, which were at one
time in danger from the shower Of sparks
sent up. II was total loss, there being,
we understand, no insurance on either build
ings or machinery. The tools of Mr.. FL
lenwood and Mr.. johnson were all de-
stroyed, together with six completed tin-cart
bodies, owned by Messrs. Graves & Root.

age is yet good, and he hopes the accident

THE Urn REGMENr.--From a letter
written by an officer in the 9Th regiment,

interesting statement -" Maj. Holbrook
received an order from headquarters last
night, TO send his colors there for the pur-
pnse of having Baton Rouge inscribed up
on them. He refused to send them and so
the matter stands. This was sly way TO
heal the old wound wound-a one sided and
/ indirect way Of smoothing over and cover
ing up a wrong and insult done US. Major
! Hobrooks manner is decided, and we all
unite and agree with him in his good indie
