The Zanesyille Courier remarks the
great frequency Of fires, Of late, in differ
ent parts Of the country, many Of them
destructive, and the lager number occur
ring in establishments connected with
the Government directly, in the nature
of their business 1t goes on to observe:
in. Philadelphia, New York, Spring
field, Boston, Cincinnati, Louisville, St.
Louis, Brooklyn, and Chicago, large
GoEeFnment factories hare been destroy
ed in rapid succession entailing imzlense
immediate losses, and untold damage in
delays Of various kinds as the results Of
eoDhagrations. 2
These fires, in most cases, have been
the, work Of some inoendiary; and as
most Of the establishments have been
engaged in the execution Of Government
orders for.work Of various kinds, It Is
duits probable chat the eneendiaries are
either rebels in disguise, or persons who
sympathizeWith thems Ib IS our belief
that the rebels are now sending North
their unprotected thousands Of emmisa-
sies and spies, both male and female,
to get6eWs Of our strength and movements,
and to destroy our public works, and It
should be the duty of all civil and
military officials throughout the land, to
exercise great vigilance, and arrest every
suspected person to be found going
around without any apparent business or
calling.
