FROM ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
New YoRR, Feb. 8.

The Tines City Point correspondent of
the 9Th says of the movement south of Pc
tersburg: The result is however, that our
forces had come up with large train of
rebel commisssry stores on the Boydtown
plank road, doubtless one grand object of
the raid, which they completely enveloped
and took possession Of, capturing num-
Der of rebels and driving the others back
also destroyed three large grist mills at
Fishers run, supposed to be the last upon
which the enemy have to depend.
Whether or not it is contemplated by the
present movement to hold and extend our
lines beyond the Boydtown plank road is
not get known to the uninitisted, but we
have every reason to think it very probable
to end in its retention.

The fire this morning originated in
Blackburn & Co.'s shed for storing refined
oil, 1000 barrels having been destroyed.
1t was insured mostly In New York.
Forty-seven buildings, mostly three
stories high are burned. The oil that es-
capped from the burning barrels poured
over into Ninth street and down to Feder-
al street, and filing the entire street with
q lake of fire, and iguiting the houses on
both sides of Ninth street for two squares,
and carrying devastation into Washing
ton, Ellsworth and Federal streets, both
shove and below Ninth street. Fully
five squares of houses, had they been plac-
ed in row, were on fire at once. The
scene was one to make the stoutest heart
quail. Men, women and children were
literally roasted alive in the streets.
Captain Joseph Il. Ware, who occupied
dwelling in the vicinity, with his wife,
five daughters and two sons, met with q
sad misfortune. They all succeeded in
getting into the street, from the house,
Just as they left their beds, but mourniul
to relate, found themselves in a river Of
fire. The family became scattered. Mrs,

surrounding them. Captain Ware ant
his two sons escaped but the other tine
daughters are missing.
Six bodies in all have been recovered
Three Of them have been recognized d
belonging to the Ware family. Anothe
one Of the bodies is supposed to be ths

1HE PEACE INTERVIEW.

NEW 1Okk3 feD- o.
The Times Washington special says the
President has message on the late peace
interview prepared, embracing the letter
from Jefferson Davis to Mr.. Lincoln, and
letter from Mr.. Lincoln to Mr.. Blair, and
other documents. The publication Of this
message will dispel any idea of a probable
peace from this interview.
The Worlds special says this message
will show that most Of the statements con-
cerning this interview have been false. The
rebels never mentioned recognition; all
they asked was an armistice pending nego-
tistions, which was emphatically refused.
