FIRE.-On Friday night oflast week, between
the hours Of II and 10, the County Hospital, in
this city, accidentally took fire, and in a short
time was totally destroyed. At the time of the
fire the rain fell in torrents but it had no effect
upon the fire. The inmates escaped without
any injury, though they suffered little from
The cold rain. The building was not insured
and the loss falls heavily on Dr. Cooke, COun-

His loss is estimated at $4,000. Early in the

clouds gathered round and veied bis face, and
threatened to weep again.
The storm is not over. The clouds are thick
and dark aud threatening, and We anticipate
another heavy ruin. The late storm was unu-
sually severe and filed the creeks and rivers
with astonishing rapidity. 1t did but little
damage, however. The bridge at Coloma and
one over the Cosumnes, we learn, were swept
away. A number of fences we're blown down.
few barns unroofed, and some timber carried
of. The roads are badly washed, miry and
almost impossible. Trees were blown across
the road and large boulders swept into it by
the storm, which delayed the stages from Vir.
ginia City several hours. They have all been
removed, and the stages now make good time,
considering the condition of the roads. The
rain has been of incalculable benefit to farmers
and miners, and has greatly revived business.

The Taking of Fort Pillow

The following il an extract from private let
ter from gentleman in Cincinnati to friend in

correct account of the affair:

who came I'D on the steamer that brought manv
of our wounded men to Cairo De tells me that
our officers placed their negro soldiers in front
of the whites They Immediately away. and
the whites surrendered a. soon a the rebels en-
tered the fort. calling on the negroes 10 do the
same but they not understanding matters and
being afraid OF falling into the hands of the reb-
els. ran away With their arms and occasionally
fred on the purSuers. But all who sur
rendered whether white or black were protect
- a. soon ~ the melee OF the assault was over
few negro women and children were killed in
the fort. and some of the negroes were pursued
down 20 the edge of the river and killed. before
the rebel officers could control their men The
generalization OF the whites and the terror of the
black soldiers was excessive. The negroes did
not know enough to give up, and their officers
lost all control over them. The passions and
rage of the rebels were ungovernsble AT meeting
the negroes IN arms.
After the surrender. the rebel officers. with a
fen exceptions. did what they could On control
their men. IL was worse than folly 70 attempt
defense with negro troops unless there wss a
certainty of success They could expecl nothing

Nervousness IN washington - Re
ported Rebel Movements.

The " ashington correspondent Of the Cincin-
mai Enquirer. writing under date Of the 2lst,
gives the ;ollo~ing floating rumors at the capital
in reference. to rebel movements, and states that
they Cause considerable uneasiness in Admins
tration circles:
A gentleman who PROCESSES 70 know as much
Of Administration secrets any one. says the
trouble Is 40 apprehension that Washington Is
not safe from rebel gunboats That the Presi
dent has received Information that feet Of
iron-clad rams and gunboats of the most ap-
proved structure, Is ready 20 come out Of the
James river. and not only destroy Washington,
but threaten Philadelphia. New York aud 30 ton.
In addition 10 the feet already ia Southern
waters. IL is said that abost thirty additional
iron-clads from England will soon De on their
way to the South, professionally as blockade
runners.
That is one of the reasons assigned for the
panic now pervadng the Administration circles
new feature is to be given 70 the contest. and
that which has given to Federal arms all that
il has acquired so far in the war. is TO be
contested on the seas and rivers with the same
stubbornDess that has marked the strife on land
Another reason assigned for the disturbance is
that Lee has already made his preparations for a
forward movement, and intends TO march on
Washington before Gen. Grant gets his army in
fighting trim. Whatever the cause certain it is
that 40 much trepdaton has not been felt in
Washington since the first battle OF Bull Run. as
is now experienced by Mr. Lincoln & Co A few
DAYS will determine the reason for all this ner-
vous agitation. There NAV he no good cause
for il; and let all hope such is the case.
