OrxBEc, October Is. Yesterday morn
lne Ore began In the house Of Mr.. Tru.
del, grocer, on st. Joseph street, near
jacques, Cartier Market. Owing TO the
early hour Of the morning, but few people
were out. The wind, which had blown q
half gale from the east, had slightly abated,
but still continued with such violence a.
to cause serious apprehension, which was
afterward unfortunately realized.
BY the time the Gre brigade had reached
the scene, Trudel's house was enveloped In
flames. The sappcrs were already there,
but there was some delay in laying the
hose and getting sufficient water, which
was not reu1edied for nearly an hour.
In the mean time the fire made rapid
progress. No less than ten or twelve
houses were on Gre, and the wooden sheds
on all sides were ignited.
BY halE.past 5 o'clock eighty houses, oil
Of which were built Of wood, were in q
blaze. The flames, driven by the wind,
were spreading in all directions.
At half-past 9 O'clock over one hundred
and fifty houses were consumed. The fire
by this time had run along st. Joseph and
Notrc Dame de Anges streets, carrying
everything before it.
The church of La Congregation stood in
great danger, but the sudden veering Of
The wind saved it,
Crossing St. Waller street, the fire soon
afterward spread into st. Sauyeur, and
among its hundreds Of wooden houses
ragged with defiant fury. House after
house fell prey to the flames. 1t was
thought that the houses to the eastward
would be saved, but the fire crept back,
continuing It's work of destruction. .Ijl
At IL o'clock the whole centre of the
district lying between st. Sauveur and the
lower streets, running parallel with the
river, was a charred and barren waste, and
having nothing to feed on there, the con-
fagration distributed itself in opposite di-
rections. The wind increasing again, and
blowing in gusts from every direction, three
separate confagrations were observable at
one time. At st. Sauvcur Church, Dunn's
soap and candle factory, Reese'srope-walk,
and other large buildings, were in flames.
Along st. Waller street, toward the toll
gate and streets surrounding the general
hospital and convent, another terrible fire
was raging with even greater fury; while
at the back of Crown street, along Prince
Edwards, Jesuit, and Rilard streets, the
flames were creeping back, and enveloping
street after street, in spite of the almost
superhuman eXertions OF the soldiers and
the seamen Of the Aurora.
The confagration ceased at about 8
o'clock, when there was nothing more for
the flames to feed on. 80"

GENERAL BEAUREGARD IN WASHINGTON
TIE LADIES KISS HINT will afford the

read the following outburst of. indigna-
ton: I
To the Editor Of the Chronicle:
On Monday night, at Walls Opera
House, was given dramatic performance
for the benefit Of the "Southern Aid So
ciety." Prominent amongst the specta-
tors was General Beauregard, who occu-
pied private box. When he made his
exit at tn end of the play it was enough
to make all loyal folks blush to see the
sympathizcrs crowding around him,
grasptng his hand, yet red with the blood
of our brothers. Some ladies' went so far
as to kiss him. Please make an item of
this for the public to ponder over.

A CAPTURED DRAFT.

4 letter.was presented at the Treasury
Department to-day from broker in To-
rnto, Canada, asking whether draft for
:ijo,OO0, drawn by the Government on
the special agent (CarrolD Of the Treasury
Department at Memphis, Tenn, dated May
:. lsGj, is good for that sum OF not. The
broker says this draft was presented to
BIN in Toronto few days ago by person
WHO wished TO negotiate the sale Of it.
The reply from the Treasury Department
i, that upon comparison OF dates and num-
beers il is found that this draft was cap
tuned by Confederate guerrillas sometime
between the I'd aud 9Th of May, 1865,
whilst i'll transit between Cincinnati and
Memphis, and that the duplicate draft was
soon after paid by the United States depo-
STORY or special agent of the treasury at
Memphis. So that the draft in the hands
OF the Toronto broker is worthless. 1t is
supposed this original draft has been NTH
custody Of some one Of the above-men-
loatd guerrillas until he attemptedto sell
through the agency Of the Canada broker.

A Bor TEN YEARS OLD SHOOTS
DRUNKEN MADMAN.-tast Thursday, James
Burpole, citizen of Ballard county, living
about ten miles from Hullville, opposite
this city, became Infatuated by liquor and
demeaned himself in an outrageous man
ner. Mounting his horse, he galloped fu .
riously along the road, attempting to ride
down the people he met. Visiting the
farms of several Of his neighbors, he made
repeated efforts to ride into the houses;
and in one or two instances insulted wo-
men by using violence upon them, fright
ening them from their homes. Finally, as
he was passing along the highway, he met
a son of Mr.. Kit Tyrell, aged about ten
years, and attempted to ride over him.
The boy had shotgun upon his shoulder,
having been in the woods hunting. He
avoided the horses hoofs several times,
and at length fired upon the mailman who
was riding him. Tho shot took effect,
breaking Burpole's arm and wounding him
severely in the side. He fell to the ground,
and was picked up by some Of the citizens
residing in the neighborhood, who properly
cared for him. His life is despaired of but
he may recover.-Cdiro Democrat, Octo-
Der G.
