From tho Nashville Dispat sh, June 10,
One of the most destructive confarrations
that has visited Nashville for many yents,
occurred yesterday, at 2 o clock 7. NJ, The
South half of the immense Government
building known as Taylor Depot, On Sum
ner street, below Broad. was totally destroy
ed. with all its contents amounting to about
$4,000, 900 worth of Quartermaster' S stores.
1t il not known how the FIRE originated, al
though several stories are aflnat, but all Of
them evidently without foundation. Tie
most probable however, Was that the root
ignited from sparks elected by the locomo-
tive attached to train OF cars which had
passed few moments previous TO the hre
the buildings being quite near the railroad
track.
From Captain w. A. Wainwright, who is
in charge of the Quartcrmaster stores
| for this Department, and his Office ada
cent to the buildings, We learn. the fol-
| lowing particulars regarding the disaster:
| At the moment the alarm was given, the
| building was envelnped in smoke, which was
! coming out of all the windows. The tire
| hose was Immediately directed on the bull
| ding, but the elements W re already under
| full headway, aud the water caused the
| flames to burst out in terrific rapldity, bare
| Is allowing the men IN the building to escape.
| Il was reported that the Government en-
u'oyees failed to get uut and we're burned to
death, but from all the circumstances atten-
ding the early stage of the fire, VIC have
every reason to believe that no lives were
! lost. There were two men in the building
while it was wrapped in flames; but they
were both seen when they got out, one OF
them jumping through u window and badly
injuling his leg.
The following list comprises the bulk OF
the property destroyed:
| In the cellar there were 100000 pounds
Of wagon grease, 100 barrels OF tar, 10000
hounds Of oakum, aud 200 bales Of oukum,

tanners grease, 1000 wheelbarrows, 1000
water buckets, 500 sets Of blacksmiths'

Gorccs 800 vises, an immense amount OF run
n;ne gear for wagons, and GO0 heating
