From General Hunter.

CHARLEsTowS, West Va, FIR iday July L.
General Hunter with the whole of his com
mand, has arrived safely at this point with
out the loss to the army of single pound Of
Government property during his long and
arduous march Of 500 miles over almost i'm
passihle mountain roads, and with scarcely
any feed for his command.
lie succeeded in defeating the enemy in
five different engagements, destroying Gov
eminent property to the value of fifty mil
lions in our money, including all factories,
tan-yards, mills, foundries and furnaces in
the Shenandoah Valley as far as Lynchburg.
The most important establishments were a
branch of the Tredegar iron works at Blu
chanan, working 500 hands, and the military
institute at Lexington, with its capacious
buildings and magazine, containing large
supply Of ammunition, arms, &c
All the railroads and canals ON the route
were totally destroyed.
Our total loss in the expedition will not
exceed 1000, while that of the enemy, in
GLIDING prisoners, must be at least 5000.
This army is in excellent spirits, and after
being supplied with much needed stores,
will again be heard from in locality where

Destructive Fire in Kewaunee County.

from the Kcwaunee ENTERPRISE, June y. I
The most destructive fire that ever visit
ed this country, occurred at the little village
of Forest Hill, FIVE miles south of this, on
Sunday, totally destroying the town, but
three buildings remaining. Fire had been
running in the woods and clearings for sew
eral days, burning fences and crops, but by
the untiring efforts of the citizens night and
day, had been kept at safe distance from
the village. The strong southwest wind
of Sunday, in spite Of every effort, drove it
into the town and in less than one hour
twenty-five buildings were in ruins. So
rapid was its progress, thatit was in sever
al instances impossible to save anything from
the burning buildings, families having bare
iy time to escape by running down the high
bluff to the lake shore. Whatever household
goods were saved had to be tumbled down
this precipice Of fifty feet nearly perpendicu-
lar, One team of horses belonging to Messrs
Borland & Dean, hauling water from the
lake, cut off by the flames inattempting to
get back up the bill, persisted. Hogs, dogs,
and cats were actually known to have been
burnt alive, not experimenting the danger in
time to escape,
The night was spent by the families burnt
out on the beach. s-a
As soon as the disaster was known here,
wagons were sent to bring the women and
children, but they declined to come, prefer
ring to remain until they should determine
what to do for themselves. Provisions were
also sent to the sufferers.
The misfortune falls most heavily OF Messrs.
Borland q Dean their bridge pier, extend
ing into tie lake several hundred feet, and
constructed at cost Of nearly four thousand
dollars, was entirely consumed, also their
store and extensive stock of merchandise
steam saw mill, warehouses, barns, board
ing house, dwellings, twelve hundred thou
sand shingles, 1000 cords wood, 100 cords
bark, large number of railroad ties and
posts, several thousand feet of lumber, 700
bushels oats, 80 barrels salt, wagons sleJs and
lum bering implements, They estimate their
loss at 500, 600. No insurance
The loss Of the pier is a great calamity, as
there is now no means Of shipping what
wood, bark, ties, posts, &C., that have been
spared by the fire, and are to be manufac-
tured hereafter, and twill require nearly
the whole season to rebuild it.

''On the evening of the 22d, the enemy
(who who were placed upon two command
handing mountaius) opened Il heavy fire
upon our lines with their artillery, throwing
destruction and mortality at each discharge
Of their guns. On that memorable, and to
be lamented evening their shells reached
our Regt. Collins was one of the victims
lie was brought to the hospital about
3 o'clock p. H., very delirous and frequent
ly spasmodic, and requiring four men to
hold him. There was no external appear
ance of injury, but after the administration
of chloroform, and he was quieted down, it
was found that the skull was fractured, the
enemy's missile striking him on the right
temple, and that he had but a short time to
live. About II o'clock he breathed his
last; he was not conscious any of the time.
The Chaplain, Mcnamara, buried him i'll a
very pleasant little grove just adjoining the
ground upon which the hospital is.
He has sacrificed his life for his country.
| trust he will reap his reward. He was a
good soldier, and esteemed by all his COM
rades, and when he received the reward of his
merit, and his appreciation, noted by pre-
ferment, he assumed not that supercillious-
ness, adopted by many;he was kind to, and
regardful of the interests and welfare of the
men, his loss is sadly felt.
