INCENDIARIsM IN Observation-Disclosures
papers of the 21st publish long accounts
of serious fires which occurred on the
10Th In that city. The Examiner heads
its report thus; Destructive confagra-
tion-Arson rife in the heart of the city
Put none but Southrons on guard"
The fire occurred in close proximity to
the offices occupied by the confederate
war department, and the Examiner
thinks the incendiary's object was to de-
stroy the building with the offices under
its roof and the mass of official records.
The result of the conaagration was the
destruction of five tenements, several in
government occupancy, and the inflic-
tion of loss of 100000 The Exami-
ner closes with this remarkable state
ment
"The conflagration over, the municipal
and confederate authorities will redouble
their precautions and guards to relax
them again in little while. One unal-
terable lesson should be learned from
such bold arsons in the heart of the
capital, and that is, that there are IN our
midst Yankees, enaissa,tes, doubtless, bold and
Hazardous, who, under the inspiration of
Lincoln's gold, are willing to risk their
necks in efforts to kindle incendiary fires
at points where the confagratfon will be
most likely to result in the greatest mis-
chief"

CHURCH THIEF. - Louis Martin, of
Burlington, a Frenchman, was discov-
cred on Tuesday by the sexton of st.
Mary's Church, in that place, alone in
the church and at work at the contribu-
ton box. Martin pulled away and ran,
but was stopped by parties in the
street. He was recognized by the
watchmen at the Vermont Central depot
as the man who was about the ticket
office at the time the money drawer was
robbed last January, and chisel was
found on him which fits the marks made
in the drawer when it was broken open.
He was examined on Wednesday and
was bound up for trial in $500 for grand
larceny at the depot, and in 500 for at
tempting to rob the church.
