SUPPLIES OF Provisions

There are none 50 deaf ~ those VhS viii not hear :;

past have urged the adoption Of measures to ensure
supply Of provisions for the poor Of this city, ia which

exchanges showing that the eVil authorities and be-
neVOlens citizens Of Georgia Aad Othsr StAes, have a.
ken this matter in hand and organized associations to
afford relief to needy persona and especially 70 the fam
lies Of absent soldiers The object in presenting thsse e1
tracts vas TO stimulate people similar action here
but no movement Whatever has been made so far Is We
know.
We we're the most earnest, bSoAuss Es feb confident

FIRE AT FORT sTEILAcOOSr.

At Q o'clock on Wednesday evening. 10th
inst, one II the vacant company quarters at
Fort Steilacoom was discovered 10 be on FIRE.
The long roll was Immediately sounded, and
every member Of Company K, lst Washington
Territory Infantry, with their company com.
mander, Capt Z. II. Tucker, repaired to the
scene Of conHagratiOn, and, as We are assured
BY On eyewitness, worked with zeal unsur.
passed on any similar occasion elsewhere. The
flames we're confined to the building in which
the Gre originated, which was totally destroyed.
Il Is due to Capt. Tucker and his company to
state that to their united efforts is attributable
The saving Of the entire garrison from destruc.
ton. The commanding officer, Lieut.. Col.
English, was present. stimulating the exertiOns
Of the men, and remarked that be never saw 50
much labor performed in the same space ol
time by an equal numbered men. He thought
that to both the officers and members Of Com.
pany x too much credit could not be accorded
for their efforts to save the property Of the
garrison.
TIE FIRE Is supposed to have been the work
q an incendlary. A eourtOf inquiry has been
called BY the COmmandant, q ascertain, q
possible, the origin Of the FIRE. The result Of
iis investigations We have not yet learned.
