most unpleasant scenes of soldier experience,

ton expressed before as | have to day.
A disposition is manifested nmany quar- tiers
to attribute the failure ofthe recent movement,
not to the unfavorable weather and the mud,
but to the want Of hearty corporation among
the officers. Rivalry and jealousy, as at the
battle Of December Is, caused the failure on
this occasion also So say many whose opin"
ions have wide influence in the army.
But, whatever lack of enthusiastic co-opera-
ton there may have been in any quarter. it
will be difficult for any who saw the condition
of the roads, and twenty horses tugging at a
single cannon, and $50 men at one pontoon
wagon, and the mud holes filed with dead and
worn out animals, to believe that anything
could have been accomplished with the great
est possible goodwill and exertion of every one.
Seventy five dead horses were counted to-day
in the short space OF three miles, between the
ford and Beriah Church. Dead horses are so
abundant that man to-day was endeavorlng

esterday, about noon, our ears
were saluted with the startling cry of fire
We followed the fremen with their hose
carriage, and after rapid march into East
Wheeling, discovered flames issuing from
the roof Of a large brick house, near the
corner of Centre and Sixth streets, which
vas occupied by Mrs. n. L. Dorsey, as a
boarding house. The firemen, with their
usual energy and promptness, were soon
playing on the fire with some three or four
heavy streams of water. As matter OF
course the flames were soon subdued, and
the troubled minds of those living in the
neighboring houses set at rest. Almost all
the furniture, &c, belonging to Mrs. Dor
sey was taken from the house, and thus
saved from the damaging effects Of water.
The building belonged to the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company, which will sustain
a loss of from five hundred to one thousand
dollars. Mrs. Dorsey's loss will be about
two or three hundred dollars. 1t is said
the fire originated from a defective stove
pipe.
