The ALARM OF FIRE. LAST NIGHT.--About
nine o'clock last evening, a fire broke out
in the roof of the building on High street,
In which John Hunters Clothing store is
located. At the ringing Of the alarm bells,
the three fire engines were promptly on
hand. Considerable quantities of water
were thrown on the roof, and the fire ex-
tingnished. The extent of the damage to
the building we have not learned, but un-
derstand that it was not large.

New YORK, Jan. later rebel news
papers show that the fight of JEFF. Davis
and anti-Jeff. Davis factions Is constantly
growing more sanguinary. The lines be-
tween them are now strictly drawn; those
opposed to Davis accuse him in the most
open and vehement manner of being the
cause ofall their recent disasters, and they
In turn are charged by Jeff.'s organs with
destroying confidence In the ability of the

NEW York, Jan. 7.-The Times has spe-
cial dated Huntsville, Ala, which says The
Tennessee campaign is ended. The last OF
Hoods army crossed the Tennessee river
on the 10Th, with eight pieces of artillery
and about 800 men. He left Macon with
$4,000, and was reinforced 5000, and had 1lO
pieces of artillery. After the battle at Nash
vile both armies floundered in the mud ten
days. Hoods remnant of infantry crawl
ed off at night, and his cavalry stubbornly
resisting pursuit during the day. 1t is be-
lieved Hood has buried or thrown in the
river at least 30 guns. He abandoned large
numbers of wagons and ambulances.
Our official list of prisoners numbers
9,7OO not including 500 captured from Rod
dy on the 9th. Over 900 deserters have al
so reported.
1t is said Hood is going to Meridian, Miss,
to attempt reorganization. The chase in
force has been abandoned, although Stead
man is across the river with orders to har-
ass him and capture as much as possible
A new campaign has been already project
ed, and the corps of Wood, Smith and Scho-

ARRESTS FOR ASSISTING SOLDIERS TO
DEsERT.-Dective Freeman OIL Friday ar
rested Robert Dunlap, hack-driver, and
Jacob Goodman, clothing merchant for
aiding soldiers to desert by furnishing them
with citizens clothing. Some three weeks
ago, as we are informed by the officer, three
soldiers went into Goodman's store to buy
citizens clothes. They selected some cloth
ing, which was done up in bundle. The
price of the clothing was sixty dollars
They were told they must get some citizen
to pay for the articles, as they could not be
sold to soldiers. Tie soldiers went out, and
returned with Dunlap, who paid for the
clothes, and they were taken away. Moth
ing has been heard of the soldiers since
Dunlap and Goodman, on being arrested,
were taken to Tod Barracks, and are, by Or
der of Major Skiles, to have an examination
