NEW YORK, March. /.
The Richmond Despatch of the 9th, says:
Grant has again been massing his troops in
Hatcher's Run, ten miles southwest of Peters
burg, and it is thought that another attempt to
gain the South Side Railroad, was prevented
by the rain last Saturday.
We think that there can be little doubt that
he will make this attempt as soon as the roads
permit In their present miry condition, the
movement of artillery is out of the question.
Grant has enough of the gambler in his char
acter for the disastrous failure of his last adj
vance towards the railroad, to make him more
impatient to renew the attempt. At present
the extreme left, which may properly be con-
sidered the advance of the Yankee army, oc-
cupies q position five miles in a direct line
from the South Side Railroad.
The usual number Of Sunday rumors were
in circulation yesterday. The most agreeable
of which, though we regret to say not most
authentic. was that Sherman had been killed.
and his army routed and driven into the Jun
giles of South Carolina"

FOURTH OF MARcH.-The Board of Alder
men last evening passed az order directing
the ringing of tue bells and the firing of a
salute on Saturday next, but the Common
Council laid it on the table, on the ground
that If a celebration is to be had, it should be
got up as in New York and other cities, not
by the municipality, but by the citizens.
We are gratiaed to learn that meeting IS
contemplated in the afternoon, under the
auspices of the different religious denomina-
tons, and we hope the public spirited citizens
will make what other needful demonstrations
the occasion seems legtimately to call for.

spectacle audience last evening al City Hall,
and made his hearers laugh heartily. Hegot
off many sharp things and made many good
hits. Although the subject of his lecture
was UPutty and Varnish," he did not stick
very close to his text, but scattered" some as
the clergyman did to whom he alluded. He
struck right and left at the follies and hypo
cracies OF the times. The lecture was for the
benefit of the Maine Camp Hospital Assoca
tion, and we think good sum of currency
was taken on the occasion.

THE Portland Turverein Society gave an
exhibition of their muscular powers last even
ing at their new hall in Morton Block. The
hall was crowded with ladies and gentlemen,
who were highly gratiied with the feats of
strength and agility exhibited by several
young men of this Society. We confess we
were not prepared to witness such perfect
training of the muscles, such strength, such
graceful motions, such powers as we witnessed
on this occasion. Their feats were quite equal
to those performed by many professionals who
go about the country to astonish the natives.
They wore splendid costumes, and their sym
metrical forms appeared to fine advantage
They have very convenient hall, and they
adorn it well.

FIRE AT THE AIMS HoUsE.-About s
o'clock last evening fire was discovered in
room in the second story of the old portion OF
the Aims House building. 1t originated from
funnel which passed through the ceiling, and
which was entirely surrounded by wood. The
fire had made some progress when it was dis
covered, and ia few minutes more the whole
edifice would have been in flames. There
were over 200 inmates in the building-a large
proportion of whom were women and child
ren-nearly all of whom were in their beds
and asleep.
Most providentially, the monthly meeting
OF the 0verseers of the Poor and Aims House
was held last evening, and as usual, there was
a number of invited guests. The company
had just risen from the supper table when the
alarm was given. Their first care was the
preservation of the inmates. These were al
got safely out, and then they turned their at
tention to saving the building. Had they given
a general alarm and waited for the engines,
the building would have been destroyed, as
the flames were making rapid progress. Water
was brought in buckets and the Overseers aud
their guests worked like heroes for one hour
and half, when hsy had the satisfaction of
seeing the last spark expire, though not until
four or five rooms had been badly damaged.
Among the guests who rendered peculiar
service was Dir. Douglass, Engineer of the
steam Revenue Cutter Mahoning. He was
right in the midst Of the fire and smoke, bat
Ting it manfully. And so were the others,
and to them is due the safety of the building
and the preservation of life.
The company were about leaving when the
alarm was given. 1t makes one shudder to
think Of what would have been the probable
effect OF the fire if they had gone. The build
ing could not have been saved, and in all prob
ability, there would have been a great sacrifice
of human life.

Moanings of Richmond Papers over that
Probable Fail of the City.
WASHINGTON, March /.
The Richmond Examiner of the 9th, edi
torially referring to Davis late message, says:
"fhe evacuation of Richmond would be the
loss of all respect and authority toward the
Confederate government, the disintegraton
of the army, and the abandonment OF indie
pendence OF the Southern confederacy. The
withdrawal of the army from Richmond would
so narrow the area of CONSUMPTION as greatly
to reduce our military strength, as even the
army would dwindle in numbers as it would
move more and more rapidly westward, and
before reaching the Mississippi river, would
have degenerated into mere body guard of
officials. From the hour. of giving up the seat of
government, our cause would sink into mere
rebellion in the estimation of foreign powers,
who would cease to accord to us the rights of
belligerents, while the enemy would be free-to
treat our officers and soldiers as traitors and
criminals, SO that every rebel would fight
thenceforward with halter round his neck"
The Enquirer of the 9th, ia speakngIof
the rebel Congress fleeing the capitol on the
approach of Sherman, says: "During the last
four weeks wild apprehensions of danger has
disturbed the minds of the timid. The enemy
has lately thrown his force across the lines of
every congressional retreat towards the South,
and since that time senators and representa-
tives have one by one fed the capitol, leaving
skeleton of the legislature, which is rapidly
diminishing to a number below quorum. 1t
is true the President must stand firmer as the
national danger thickens. It is true the
sacred army must bare their breasts to the
storm with more heroic courage, as columns
OF the enemy converge on the liberty and ex-
istencc of the country. Should the President
waver and initiate congressional example,
there will be no difficulty in finding instances
in history to illustrate bis disgrace.
