At eight o'clock p. m. the mob be-
gan storming the Journal office, and
soon pistol firing ut the windows was
added, and for fifteen minutes the dis
charges were so rapid they could not

soon demolished After throwing

far consumed. For fifteen minutes
after the fire broke out, no fire bells
were rung, but they are now pealing

time the building was fired, when
some one called on the Union men to
fall into line. A vast crowd then
broke for the army, but have not sue
ceeded in doing anything yet.

Columbus was cut, few moments

\ not worth much, and they will call on
