There is considerable good feeling around al
the camps, on account of the rumor that the pay

this week, which is good news indeed, if it only
provestrue, as there Is l am sure, hosts offamilies
Of our brave volunteers, probably, suffering at
home, on account of our not getting paid off here.
This letting soldiers wait four, five, and even sew"
en- months, without pay is not very good, while
the contractors in Washington and other places
are filing their pockets with the money which
rightly belongs to us.
/ think too that if those 'Jormard m0rement'
shriekers would shoulder the musket and come
down here and see for themselves, they would quit
their shYieking, and say that our Generals were
doing all in their power to do. IL lisa very easy
thing for you, up north, TO say to them; doso, and
so, but it is not quite SO easy to do, as for them TO

here, as yet, once in a while Stewards or some

Rappahannock, some distance apart
Lees army is composed of eight
large divisions. Jackson commands
the right. and Longstreet the left,com'
prising five divisions. These divisions
are apparently stronger than ours, com
prising a greater number OF brlgades
and regiments.
It is uncertain whether their total
strength equals ours.
A desperate struggle is evidently
near, and stirring news may be expectN
ed shortly.
A Fortress Monroe letter states that
steamer Vanderbilt was coaling,proba-
bly, for another search after the pirate
Alabama.
The Philadelphia Enquirer has a
Port Royal letter of the 18th, stating
that six deserters from Fort Sumter,
Charleston, had arrived on board the
b~lockadang vessels, and reported that
most Of the garrison had thrown down
their arms, refusing to serve under the
Confederate flag.
They were half fanished and their
families are in want, owing to the non
receipt Of pay. OCher troops cam and
obliged them to return TO duty.
Dissatisfaction among the rebel
troops is wide spread.
The men worked all day and night
and half starved, and received no mon

drove the rebels out Of the battery on

Orderly Sergt. of Standards Battery, lst Ohio Ar

The deceased was a brother Of Rev. HUGH NJ.

He was among the first TO respond to the Press
call, leaving a good position in Cleveland, Ono,
to enlist in the ranks of the old Three month Z

service, he only staid at home a week, and then
volunteered fer the war. When urged to wait 10

Great Fire at Beaver Dam.

BEAVER DAM, Saturday Night, Jan II
The most extensive confagratiou which ever
visited this part of the State, occurred here to-
day, laying a good portion of the town in ASH
es.
The alarm was first given about half past five
o'clock in the morning, the fire having origin.
ated in a grocery store near the centre Of the
CITY owned by John Malone.
The origin of the fire is yet unknown, but it is
believed 80 have originated from a defective
stove pipe in Malone's store. A strong breeze
was blowing at the time, rapidly spreading the
flames to the neighboring buildings.
The people of the city turned out in q mass,
laboring with superhuman energy to overcome
the devouring clement. Seventeen stores and
two dwellings, however, We're burned to the
ground before the progress of the flames could
be stayed. Though unable to save the build
ings a large portion of the goods in the stores
was removed though mostly in a partially dam
aged condition.
The insurance will probably most ly cover the
loss on stock, but not q single building was in
sured, and they are q total loss to the own
ers.
The following list cfnames of sufferers by
the fire is as nearly correct as can now be civ,
en-:
John Malone, grocery store-building burned
Stock partly saved.
The printing Office of The Wing of TO- 10.
Gated in the second story of Malone's store, W a;
burned, all the materials, including press being
destroyed.
The entire loss in buildings and stock it il
yet impossible to estimate. The loss On build
ings is perhaps SI7 900. It is a most unfoItu
nate blow for our city and a feeling of despond
ency prevails at this sudden destruction of
principal portion of our city.

COEnmitfed.-The examination of David
Shearer took place at the Court Housein this city
last week before Justices Deming and Ames.
The examination commenced on Tuesday oflast
week, and was closed on Monday of this week
Quite a number of our citizens attended through
the examination as well as several of The residents
in the neighborhood of the murder. The prisons
er bore himseIfw with a bold and apparently %eareles
front throughout. Indeed so little did he appear
like the a~trocious murderer that circumstances
would indicate him to be, that quite d number OF
the spectators took sides with him, and believed
him TO be an innocent victim Of a strange freak
of circumstances.
After a long, l~aborious and most impartial hear
ing, the accused was committed for trial at the
next term Of the Circuit Court for this county.
Change OF Time.-We had not time last
week to notice the change Of programme on the
Chiea go \ Milwaukee Railroad. The morning
express train each way was taken off, as usual fol
the balance of the winter, while travel and bust
ness is dull. But with their accustomed spirit of
accommodation, the managers of this road have
attached a comfortable sleeping car to both freight
trains which run respectively from Milwaukee to
Chicago and from Chicago TO Milwaukee in the
night. These trains arrive at either terminus o.
the road early in the morning, thus enabling tray
eIars to save time for business by a night trip.
Our citizens who have business in Chicago
and don't wish to stay over night, can take the
night train and arrive at six in the morning, ant
have all the forenoon for Blu siness, and arrive a
home on the 40 mail train. For Milwaukee We
could ask no better Accommodations. The kenosh'
accommodation train leaves for Milwaukee at
A. NJ. and returns at about 80 P. NJ, giving tht
whole day at Milwaukee.
The management. Of this Road is still in the old
careful and prompt hands. Mr. j. T. MOODY
