for the administration Of the whole

for the administration of the whole"
The system of volunteer fremen to supersede
the abominally deficient plan Of protection by
parish engines, or, as is too often the case, no
protection at all, and also the expensive though
not more efficient plan Of paid b~rigades, is
taking a strong hold on the minds Of the public,
who are beginning to sec that by manning their
own engines they obtain that efficient p%rotec-
ton, that energetic will to combat the ravages
of fire, which can only be obtained under a
we'll disciplined system of volunteers, a system
which on all occasions proves its SUI
periority to any paid system.
The Posi- MAGAZINE AND INSURANCE Mo
NIToR Of the 10th December, 1864, In speaking
of volunteer fire ~brigades, says that many of lis
readers I" will be as much surprised as we are
ourselves at the number of these valuable yo-
luntary associations that have been formed
for the protection of property and human life
against the terrible casualty Of fire"
| find that we have in Great Bcitain, at the
present moment, no less than 43 Volunteer
Fire Brigades, with all their engines and appIi-
ances. OF these there are, in London and the
suburbs, II b~rigades, with a total Of 1914 mem
bers 10 engines, one being a steamer; and
the power in the number Of men required to
work the manual engines represents 367 men;
the total value OF their plant and appliances
being tf8,670, The country brigades have 500
members 70 engines, l steamer represent
ing q power Of 1900 men to work them and
the total value Of their plant and appliances is
estimated to be 614,000.
OF the country brigadcs that of Alton is the
first to employ a steam fire engine, having Oh
tanned it at the close of the last year and the
Lambeth Volunteer Brigade was the first to use
it in London, having employed it nearly two
years.

Boar SUNK "A loqg boat belonging to Mr..
Joho Marco, of Alexandria, loaded with about
twenty five cords of pine wood from Plscata-
way creek, sank near the foot OF Seventh st.,
ia Washington, yesterday afternoon. She
was loaded very heavily, and the waves wash,
ed over her deck, causing her to sink ina lew
minutes. The contra bands about the wharves
were busy gathering in the wood as It neared
the shore, and it is believed some OF them
saved four or five cords each.

was Of quite a severe character, at
least for the rebels. A party Of them
who pretended that they wished to
desert, were allowed TO approach the
National lines, when they made II
fierce attack on the front of ono di-
vision of the Gah Corps, just before
dayhrcak, for the purpose of recov-
eling the advanced works from which
they We're driven on Saturday.
The assault was so sudden and fu-
rious that the 9th Corps troops were
at first forced back, but they instant
" rallied, repulsed the enemy at all
points, and recovered and maintained
their captured ground. The rebel
loss during the short fight was heavy,
while that fthe 9th Corps was very
slight. The entire first line of rebel
works captured by the Cd and 9th
Corps, On Saturday last, is still held
by them, and has been rendered so
strong THAI any effort Of the enemy
for its recovery must prove futile.
The visit Of Mr.. Lincoln to For
tress Monroe and General Grants
headquarters is now believed here to
have much more Significance than
was at first attached to it. 1t has
been the occasion Of a personal inter
view between him and General Sher-
man, and Sheridan participated.

gard 10 pending military operation,
