DESTRUCTIVE CoNFLAGRATION IN LIBER-
TY-FUUR HOUSES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
OFFICE DESTRoYED.-Yesterday morning
a fire broke ont in the Office of the Bedford
Citizen, at Liberty, Va, which quickly
consumed that building and communicated
thence TO three other houses adjacent, all
of which were entirely destroyed. The
houses were of wood, and were the pro-
perry of Colonel Graves, whose loss is said
to be between $4,000 and $4,000; whether
covered by insurance to any extent we are
not informed.
The heaviest loss falls upon Mr.. George
p. Evans, late of Richmond, proprietor Of
the Citizen, whose type, presses, and fix
lures of every description, together with
a lot of printing paper, we deeply regret to
learn, were totally consumed. The other
buildings were occupied by the Rev. Mr..
Davis, minister of the Baptist church,
Mr.. Elan, and Mr.. BroSius. These gen.
tlemen succeeded in saving the contents
of their dwellings, suffering no loss except
that incident to the haSty removal of their
furniture. -Lpchb,rg Ne,ES, 18th.

BUTLER FoREvER.-Beast Butler, do
what he will, is doomed to an Immortality
of infamy. Whenever he offends another
man, another crime is brought 10 light.
See this:
General Schenler's letter, it is under
stood, will soon be published, in connection
with other matters concerning certain prof.
table cotton speculations while Butler was
in command at Fortress Monroe. The de-
cision that was arrived at by the court
martial upon these alleged speculations, ii
is held, was reversed 10y the payment Of
heavy percentage of the profits. 1t is also
charged that official papers were ante
dated after General Buffers removal; but
even the above does not include all the
charges upon the. black list that has been
prepared, and which is threatened to be
published. There is also included in the
charges all allegation that very large sum
of money was placed in a bank in Paris at
the time these speculations were in progress.
The whole affair wears most damaging
aspect. and the parties who hold the Off
cial documents will not scruple at all about
making them public"

The CASE OF TIE Rev. G. I. VII.
'Efkxs.-This cxse e1mS Mp sgain On Wen.
day In New York. No further testimony
was adduced. Hon. Roger A. Pryor spoke
for an hour and half in his defence, taking
tho grounds that there was no motive TO
commit the crime that IL was physical
impossibility Cor him to have committed IL
under the circumstances, that 1t was
physical impossibility for him to have COM
mittcd IL because of his want OF expert
ness, and that il was moral impossibility
for man of such integrity of principle,
and of such consistent piety, to have been
guilty OF such crime. When Mr.. Pryor
flushed, several persons in the audience
applauded him.
The counsel for the prosecution said that
the Justice was bound to decide that the
witnesses in the case had wilfully perjured
themselves, or that the prisoner must be
held for trial on the charge; that if the
decision were now against the prisoner, it
would not be fastening any guilt upon him,
but that the question would be passed upon
by jury, and that every circumstance for
or against the prisoner would then be more
carefully and deliberately examined.
Justice Dodge said that for the present
he would reserve his decision, but would
give due notice Of his intention to de-
liver it.

WONDERFUL DIscovERY.-We are in
formed that in making recent excavations
in the upper part of Fauquier county, Va,
very curious relics have been found in
mound, which proved to be, what had long
been supposed, an Indian burial-place-
two skeletons, which evidently showed
there were giants in those days, with spear
heads and the usual paraphernalia found in
Indian graves. The great subject of in
terest shown is tablet containing HERO
glyphics of a very curious character. W.
Norris, of that county, a gentleman who
has travelled very extensively in the East
land who was with Gliddon in his cele-
brated journey across the desert), is of
the opinion that this discovery will prove
the identity Of the Indian tribes with some
of the Asiatic tribes, and settle the ques-
ton SO long mooted as to their origin. We
are further informed that Mr.. Norris will
now proceed to Washington city with this
tablet, for the purpose Of showing il to
Professor Henry and other Swans. The
result is looked forward to with no little
interest. Journal.

"But few days since we were assured

Gated, and appropriated to headquarters
