NEW York, Nov. 3O.-A FIRE broke out
this morning at aboet 4 past 4 O'Clock,
which, it is said, was clearly the work Of
incendiaries, in the undergrad of Ogden
q Co., in Hubert Street. One-third of the

The Commercials Washington special
says PryOr's report of the capture of Macon
is not believed, as Sherman had cut of
communication with that place, and the
rebels at Richmond could have no informa-
ton of the movements of Sherman, who
probably, avoided both Macon and Augusta,
and is thought to be marching to the sea
coast. The rebels are doing all they can to |
impede his progress.
The Post special says the Richmond |
papers Of Monday are silent respecting |
Shermon's movements, but they evince |
great trepidation in that place. It is be-
lieved he is making his way triumphantly
to the sea coast.
RogerA. Pryor arrived hear this morning, |
and was taken to Fort Lafayette. He con-
tradicts the report that he had said Macon
and Milledgevrle, and probably Augusta
had been captured. He regards Sherman
as the ablest officer in our army, and that
the South has moro to fear from his move
ments than those in progress elsewhere.
AS to the Southern refugees in this city, he
said they had acted disgracefully.
A remonstrance has been received by the
Chamber of Commerce from merchants Of
Bahia against paying the $500, 900 reward

respondence of the 2Sth, says more firing
than usual. On the 9th, the rebels fred
from the advance point of their new line
just beyond the famous Bermuda Hundred
tower. Our gunboats replied and the affair
was terminated. On the 18th firing was
again quite brisk, musketry participating,
but no battle ensued.
Rebel deserters report Gen. Ewell's corps
gone South.
Throughout the 9th, the rebel firing on
Dutch Gap was uncommonly heavy and
persistent. No damage done. For an hour
in the evening they delivered a severe fire
upon Fort Brady.
Gen. Butler has issued an order that Mai.
D. D. White, Slst New York, cannot have
the place of sutler in his army. He says
field officers leaving the service voluntari-
ly cannot take the place of boot icks here.
Ii they have no more respect FOR the service
they have left, they will find officers here
who have. White was sent out Of the De-
partment. Although in some instances the
turkeys did not reach soldiers in time for
dinner on Thursday they did next day and
soldiers ate them with just as much relish.
NEw YORK, Nov. 3O.-By the steamer
Fort Morgan we have late advices from the
Gulf. Five of our gunboats lie in Mobile

small arms at Barren bridge.
NEW YORK, Nov. SO.-Among the signifi
cant articles in the rebel newspapers is one
in the Richmond Wing of the .2lst, urging
the little real Importance of Richmond to
the Confederacy. This is evidently put
forth 10 check the shock its fall will pro-
duce.
Wood is worth 500 per cord in Rich

The Mahogany lumber yard of Ogden &
Co., which was almost totally destroyed by
fire early this morning, occupied one third
Of the block on Washington street between
Hubert and Beach, and extended through
to West street, occupying the whole block
on Hubert, between Washington and West
streets. The yard ives filed with an i'm
mense stock of Mahogany and movable
lumber, valued at SIS, eco. The FIRE was dis
covered in the centre of the yard by sergt.
Earle, who at once gave the alarm. The
origin of the IRE is enyeIoped in mystery,
although from an investigation made there
is ne doubt but that it was the work Of an
incendiary, and another act in the recent
diabolieal plot to lay the city in ashes.
There are no lights used in the yard, which
is strictly watched and guarded. Il is sup
posed some combustible material was
thrown by the incendisry into the midst Of
the lumber. In the vicinity Of the lumber
yard, within half block, IS an immense
Government warehouse, one Of the largest
in the city. Il is conjectured that the OBJ
jeet of the incendiary was to destroy this,
but no access could be gained to It, there
being an armed guard constantly on duty.
By setting FIRE 10 the lumber yard the
whole block, including the warehouse, was
