MORE DEsERTERs PUNIsHED.-We men,
toned yesterday the execution of five desert
ers from the army of the Potomac. In Mr..
Thompson's dispatch of August 2Sth we find
a notice of three more exectons for the same
crime-priyate Jesse Mayherry of company
C, list Pennsylvania volunteers, and two
more also belonging to the second division.
Three Massachusetts men were also sem
fenced to be shot-Wm. II. Hill of company
X, goth Massachusetts, who was born IN North
Brookfeld, Mass. He was an incorporate
man, and had taken bounty for re- enlistment
after his desertion.
Eugene Sullivan, company f, of the same
regiment, youth about Is years old, born in
Boston. His father and himself enlisted in
the same company, and fought at Antietam
and Fredericksburg. On account of his youth
he was reprieved. The third was John Smith
of the first company of Andrew sharpshoot-
ers. He was born in Philadelphia, but resided
in Boston. He bore a bad character among
the officers of his regiment, all refusing to in
tercede in his behalf.
We trust the execution of these lust sem
fences will be warning to deserters and a
terror to evil doors.

tacks and were handsomely repulsed, when
he abandoned his position and retreated to-
wards Warm Springs, pursued by cavalry and
artillery. The enemy were about three thou

BosToN, Aug. 3l.-A destructive fire de-
stroyed large amount of property in East
Boston to- day. 1t began about half past l.
o'clock in Tufts machine shop on Lombard's
wharf, now used by the Atlantic works, for
the construction of turrets for monitors, and
was not subdued until in the afternoon.
Carleton's wharf, also down to LovelPs wharf,
were nearly swept of buildings, mainly me-
chanic shops, and the tenants were able to save
little from the flames. The buildings on
Tufts wharf occupied by the Atlantic works,
were of both wood and brick, and covered u
large space. They were owned by Robert c.
Hooper, whose loss il estimated at from $l5,-
600 to $4,000. The Atlantic works lose,
probably, $4,000 by destruction of machine
ry, not insured. They were building five tur-
rets for monitors now being constructed at
Charlestown and Portsmouth. 1t is not known
how much they are damaged, and it will not
be ascertained for some time. The destruc-
ton of machinery will cause a delay in fin
ishing them, throwing temporarily out of en-
ployment large number of mechanics. The
turrets are valued at $4,000 each. The suf-
ferers by this fire include many enterprising
mechanics Of East Boston, among them Brown
& Lowell, shipwrights; John w. Robinson,
painter; L. b. Palmer, sail maker; McLorin,
ship carpenter; John X. Carleton, cooper !;
and many others. Total loss estimated at
100000, about half insured.

70 THE WORCESTER DAILY SPY.


PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 30.-The Charleston
papers Of Monday last thus refer to Gen. Gill
more's fire of Saturday night;
Between one and two o'clock Saturday
morning the enemy commenced firing on the
city, arousing our people from their slumbers.
Twelve S-inch shells fell into the city, thirteen
in all having been fired. Fortunately no per-
son was injured. Several shells flew in the
direction of ST. Michael's steeple, and fell
either in the vacant lots in the burnt district
on King street, or more generally struck in
the centre Of the streets, as exhibited at the
corner of Queen and Rutledge streets, where
an S-inch shell fell ana tore up the plank
road and dug large hole in the ground.
Another shot entered the warehouse of G. w.
Williams & Co., and exploded in the upper
story, making a large hole in the brick wall
Of the medical purveyor's warehouse, next
door, scattering things in great confusion.
Some loose straw or packing was set on fire by
the explosion, which caused the alarm bell to
ring and brought out the fremen. 1t was ex-
tinguished with little effort before it had made
any progress. Fourshells fell in this locality.
One large piece was picked up and exhibited
in the guard house, where it was the subject
of much curiosity.
