JAMAICA, QUEENS COUNTY, N. Y, July a.
About 4 O'Clock this afternoon fire broke out
In Curtiss' Hotel, which, with the stables, was
entirely destroyed, together with Durlapd's
livery stables, and the dwelling houses of Capt.
Mckee, @. Bennett, and Mr.. Bsrto. The FIRE
threatened at one time the entire village, but
was finally subdued.
SrRAoCsE, N. Y, July 24.-The Granger
block, located In the business centre Of this
city, was burned at 4 O'Clock this morning..
The Offices Of the Journal and the Standard
were destroyed, also Luce's job printing office.
The Journal loses SIS. 900, insured for t12 900;
the Standard, 90 900, insured for a, 800; Luce's
office, "a, 900, insured for %, 900.
The buildings were owned by Sedgewick q
Cowles, and are incurred for nearly t25 900,
which will cover their loss. The ground floor
was occupied by seven stores, from which the
goods were removed, slightly damaged.
The second floor was occupied principally
for law offices, and the loss 10 consequently
small. The fire originated In the Benedict
daguerrean gallery, In the fourth story, and
quickly spread to the printing Offices, the con.
tents Of which were totally destroyed. The
Journal and the Standard will continue publ.
cation without interruption. This 10 the second
time the Granger block has been burned, aud
the third time the Journal office has met with
the same fate.

Some OF the bilious Journalists of this coun-
try are constantly looking with retroverted
gaze upon the past. They especially dwell
upon the mistakes or errors already committed,
discussing them In all their aspects; nibbling
at them with mournful relish. They might
as well spend their time In repenting Of Adams
sin, and bewailing the trangressions OF the an
tediluvIans as to fix thus their thoughts en-
tirely upon old blunders, with no look Of hope,
no word Of encouragement, no helping hand
for the future. Their efforts tend only to dis
hearten those who are pressing forward In the
attempt to achieve good results.
They stand along the road OF progress point
ing rearward to the scene Of some breakdown
or "smash-up," and expatiating upon the
criminal carelessness OF driver. They arrest
the onward march of those going Ia the front
to point out the spot where some disaster hal
happened and would detain them while they
theorized forever upon the Dsiure and causei
of that disaster. When aiTairs are moving
prosperously they have nothing to say, bu
when q public misfortune occurs they pounc'
upon 1t eagerly and straightway become argu
mentstive and even eloquent upon the subject

A NovRL CAPTURE.-When the 23d Army
Corps crossed the Chattahoochle at Roswell,
Ga a large cotton factory was captured, along
with five hundred girls who were employed
therein. The capture was novel one In the
hlstOry of the present war, and what TO do with
them constituted q grave question, threatening

The public will remember that some weeks
since the wife Of Brig. Gen. Crawford Vaughan,
e. 8. A, Of Monroe county. East Tennessee,
was arrested at her house and sent North by the
militar authorities for her many aud perslst'
ent acts Of fragrant rebellion. This fact be-
coming known to the rebels In Upper Kast Ten.
nessee, they determined to arrest the wife Of
some prominent Union man, TO be held as q
hostage, and singled out Mrs. John Netherlsnd,
Of Rogersyille, Hawkins county, East Tennes-
see. Her election coming to the ears OF Mrs.
Netherland, she at once determined that she
would not be swapped In that way, and placing
her children In charge OF their aged grand
mother, she took horse, and by two nights
and days ride, reached her husband, Col.
Netherland, in safety. Col Netherland was the
Wing candidate for Governor In 1859 In oppo-
sitlon to Isham G. Harris, aud his many friends

Capt. D. B. Ridgely, commanding the shen-
andoah, In reporting to Admiral Lee concern
ing a cruise In search of the Florida, found the
wreck of the bark Greenland In Ia fathoms OF
water, so miles from Cape Henry. Her top
sail yard is in perpendicular position, and
can be seen three or four miles by daylight.
The wreck is dangerous, lying in the steamboat
track between Barnegat and Hatteras. The
Admiral proposes to send Prof. Maillefort,
with divers, to blow away the fragments. As
the Florida has not been heard from since the
capture of the Electric Spark, the Captain
thinks that she has taken the steamer to some
Of the harbors around the Bahama Islands.

CHEsAPEAKB AND ONO CANAL.-The repairs

duct, the heavy stone walls of which forming
the trunk were thrown of and no es dug through
the archway-as well as lock No. 40, the walls
OF which were eXcavated and thrown In. As
all the material of those works thus remained

construction. The dressed blocks are lifted by
