We find the following brief account OF
the fire in Washington in the Philadel-
phia Enquirer, of the 9th Dec.
About seven o'clock tonight, a fire
broke out in the government stables, near
the War Department. where they had
about 1000 horses and harness for most OF
them. The stables consisted of ten sep
crate sheds, thirty-two feet wide, and
about sixty feet long, in each of which
were some 200 horses, and so rapidly did
the fire spread that it was impossible to
save all the horses.
A large number of men were soon on
the ground and commenced liberating
the horses. Many of them refused 10
leave the burning sheds, and some rush
ed back, and plunging into the flames,
laid down to die. Those released gathered
in droves and galloped frantically over
the city
No axes were to be had, and the half
dozen FIRE engines dragged to the scene.
we're useless for the want of water and ca
pacity There were about 500 good
draught horses burned and about 1000 or
1900 sets of harness. But little forage
was lost, as they only have it ground as it
is used. All the stables are u total loss.
The horses were good ones and had been
broke in to hauling heavy wagons.
The demolishing ofsome sheds prevent
ing the fire from spreading, and the wind
being very low, is all that saved the fire
from spreading severa. squares down to
the Potomac. The loss is estimated, by
persons competent ojudge, at over $780,
600.
The stampede Of horses rushing through
the crowds and round tho corners caused
many serious accidents, and we hear OF
one man reported killed, who fell down
while crossing the street. near the Nation
al hotel, and was tranptedupon by them.
Disgustad with Billy Wilson.
The New York Express learns from
Fort Pickens (by the Baltic that serious
difficulties have arisen between the siafi
and line officers Of the regiment and Col
onel Wilson. They are said TO be greatly
dissatisfied with his abilities as military
man, and accuse him OF conduct highly
culpable in commanding officer. On the
18th, all tho officers, with two exceptions,
waited upon and requested him to resign
the command of the regiment.
It is said tina, he refused TO listen to
their request. Tho officers seem deter.
mined to retire from tho regiment them
selves or compel him to withdraw. They
feel that they have been disg .aced by him
in more ways than one, not only since
thei, arrival upon Santa Rosa Island, but
prior to their leaving Now York.

CLUBS FOR THE DAILY NATIONAL
REPUBLlCAN TO SOLDIERS.

CoRlSrH.-what has been published as an
Intercepted dispatch Of Gen. Beauregard, Of
April ., being in substance that be then had at
Corinth but IS 900 effective men, Is now said
not TO have been intercepted" OF Huntsville,
Of which We did not get possession until the
11th Of April, but To have been found In the
telegraph Office there. 1t does not appear to
be quite certain that any such dispatch was
ever sent. But II does not appear to us that
the figure given for the number Of the enemy's
effective men at Corinth Is 30 improbably small
as Of itself to create doubt Of the genuineness
Of the alleged dispatch. The number Of the
enemy at Pittsburg Landing was not, immedi-
stely after the battle there, put higher than
IS 900 men; and If IS, 900 remained after that
battle, In condition 10 be fairly called " efec-
tivs," It is doing tolerably we'll. It is not Ger.
tain that the army victorious in that battle came
out Of II much better.
Whether or not Gen. Beauregard sent such q
dispatch as that referred to, 1t seems that after
the battle Of Pittsburg Landing, and before ou,
occupation of Huntsville, he received 10000
men from Chattanooga.

The member from Delaware has shown
himself worthy Of the confidence of the gallant
State be 20 ably represents. On all questions
OF large public nature his views have been
broad and liberal and wise, and we are glad to
see that he Is being everywhere sustained by
his constituents.
"Mr. Fisher Is man Of clear head and hon.
est heart He has long occupied leading
place 10 the politics Of Delaware, and in this
crisis Of her history 1t is fortunate for her that
in one branch OF Congress, at least, she Is rep.
resented by one who understands her true inter.
ests, and who is not ready to sacrifice them and
tho interests OF the country at large 70 the
Vaccinations Of party"
Mr.. Fisher voted for the abolition of slavery
iu this District, and for the Presidents resolu
tion proposing emancipation to the States. H.
exerted himself last winter TO obtain action ir
the Legislature Of Delaware, in the direction O.
emancipation there, and will maintain that issu'
on the stump against the Senators from Della

political afinities with the oligarcby now IL

From the Wall Street Review
PRACTICAL SENSE OF A WALL
STREET UHDERWRITER.

The financial systems Of Government in all
ages are universally acknowledged to be Of the
highest importance as affecting the interests
and happiness Of people; and in proportion
as they are adapted to the wants and purposes
Of nation, so in like manner will the felicity
or misery Of people be affected.
This nation during the entire period Of It's
history, has stood greatly in need Of proper
financial system, to meet the interest and re-
quirements Of all sections of the country, for
the wealth Of nation should permeate the
interests Of each individual citizen.
Heretofore, local interests have been affected
favorably to the supposed exclusion of the cit
izsns in far off localities in the aggregate,
Of course, financial governmental matters be-
came adjusted. The principal difficulty has
been, that all previously. adopted systems sepa.
rated the Government from the financial insti.
tutions Of the country, and made them jsalou.
of each others power.
1t must be plainly apparent to mind Of the
most ordinary capacity, that II these two pow
erful interests could be combined for their mu-
tual wants, and welded for the happiness and
strength Of free people, each citizen of our
common country would rejoice In the attain
ment Of such blessing, which would, in all
time, rebound to the safety and happiness OF
their posterity.
Such system has been recommended by tie
clear head of the able financial Secretary Of
this nation, and illustrated In all It's bearings
and applications, by bis practical experience
and financial sagacity.
In Its immediate application to the present
wants of our country, and, indeed, for all time,
no better comprehension of this system can be
had than in comparison Of the operations OF
joint stock insurance companies and mutual TO-
surance companies.
Those who ore familiar with the principles of
mutual insurance will perceive at glance that
the strength Of the system proposed, Is that Of
one National Mutual Insurance Company, as ap-
piled in its affecting the relative interest Of the
citizen and his Government whereby the well
fare Of each member Of the body polite Ia
equally promoted, and the individual becomes
indirectly stockholder by participating in the
profit consequent upon the saving Of exchanges
and the enjoyment of uniform currency.
Should citizen become an individual stock
holder in banking institution, he further par.
ticipates by receiving, indirectly, certain div
idend Of per cent on the deposited bonds Of
the United States, which will be added to his
otherwise limited dividend, arising from the
ordinary discount profits of q banking iastitu
tion, besides sharing other contingent profits
In the form of extra dividends, resulting from
commissions paid by the Government to the
bank, as its fiscal agents. which the presen,
system proposes.
The joint stock system OF insurance is, as il
were, isolated from the community, although
