TRUTH.
Great onffagration-sixteen Thousand
Dollars Worth of Hay Destroyed.

About twelve O'Clock last night fire brok,
out in one or more barges, loaded with hay
lying at the foot of Fourth street. The fame
spread with great rapidity, and the parties il
charge, to save some of the property, were
forced to cut loose from the shore. In the bur
ry of the moment three or four barges were
set aHoat. As they passed the steamer Carrie
Jacobs, the parties in charge jumped off and
were rescued.
The barges hoAted down upon.the rifles at
the head Of Corn Island, where they lodged
and remained perhaps half an hour, the flames
rapidly spreading from one barge to another till
the whole was one broad glare OF fame. AS
the lines confning the boats to each other
burned, those that were not fast on the rifle
moved OF down the Kentucky chute-one Of
them landing against the Kentucky shore end,
when the flames broke out afresh. As the
bales caught FIRE and fcated off, bursting the
hoops and burning inside, the sight became in.
expressibly grand. The appearance, for a
time, was Of grand moving panorama of Ere,
or feet of fire ships, filing along in one con-
tinuous line of blaze, till hundreds of bales,
burning as they huated, stretched from the
Kentucky shore down the chute and across to
the big eddy, giving much the appearance Of a
whole city on fire or prairie ablazs.
The number Of barges must have been four,
containing fully three hundred tuns of hay
ell OF which, so far as we could learn, belonged
to the Government. How the fire originated,
We could not learn. The loss can not be less
than $4,000.
When we left the river at half-past twelve
O'Clock, the flames we're in full glow, and the
scene one which beggars description, The up
per stories of the Gait House, National aud
Louisville Hotels, the various church spires and
other prominent objects were lighted up with
almost the brightness of day. We DONE wish
to witness again such destruction OF property;
but are glad to record that, 80 far as we could
learn, no lives were lost nor persons injured.
p S-Since writing the above, We learn that
the hay was from Aurora, Indiana, and be-
longed to four men, whose Lames we did NOT
learn. One of them stated that there we're
eight hundred tuns in the lot, making the loss
about $4,000. The hay was for the Govern.
ment, to be delivered at this city.-Lodsoillt

ce'setaI Halleck on Northern Traitors.

Among the letters read ct the "Loyal Ma.
Iional League" macs meeting in New York
city on Saturday, April IL, was one from Secre-
tary CHAsr, which we have already noticed, and
one from General HALLEcK. The Louisville
Journal quotes the following passage from Gen
eral HALLEoK's letter, and appends the scathing
remarks below:
ave have already made immense progress In
this war--a greater progress than was ever be-
fore made under similar circumstances. 0ul
armies are still advancing, and, IL sustained by
the voices OF the patriotic millions at home
they will ere long crush the rebellion In the
South, and then place their heels upon the
heads Of sneaking traitors in the North"
When language such as this was used several

execration Of the people. We now with addi-
tonal stress apply to the language Of Genera
