cient Secretary of Gen. Il. w. johnson, Pro-
vost Marshal General, left this city yester-
day for Detroit, Mich. Mr.. Mott, enlisted
in the 9th Michigan regiment, and was sub
seauently detailed as clerk at the headquar-
tiers of Gen. c. j Parkhurst, Provost Mar
shall General, Army Of the Cumberland. He
waswith this army during all its campaigns,
and after arriving at Atlanta, came back
with the forces under Gen. Thomas to this

ia the destruction of four fine boats by fire at st.
Louis. They were the Dictator, Pittsburg boat,
and the PeteoMa. Lana. and the LersdfhaR. the
three latter belonging TO the Atlantic and Mssis-
Sippi Steamship Line. The FIRE is said to be the
work Of incendtlTism, originating on the steamer

ceeds half million of dollars. The Dictator.

have cost $l50.0O0. while the engines of the Leria

and the boat was well worth $4,000, as she was
the second largest on the Western waters, had
made but one trip under the auspices of the Com

THE CHATTANOOGA PASSENGER DEPOT
We suggest 10 managers of the different
railroad lines eentering in this city, the pro-
priety and importance Of securing the SER
vices Of watchmen TO look after the thieves
who congregate in the depot regularly on
the arrival Of trains. Sunday night three
persons who came in on the Nashville train
lost their baggage, after receiving il from
the baggage-lnaster. One of the gentlemen,
who intended going off on the Atlanta train,
which starts Immediately on the arrival of
the Nashville train, had just passed up his
check to the baggage man and deposited his
trunk on table preparatory to transferring
it 10 the other train, and turned his head to
look for small dog he had with him, when a
colored boy picked up the trunk and walked
off with it, making good his escape.
Captain Hade stepped off the same train
and handed his valise to the Franklin House
porter, who laid it on the truck for the pur-
pose ofconveying il TO his omnibus. Having
a good deal Of baggage in charge, while he
was loading il up, black rascal picked up
the yalise and travelled. He failed 10 deliver
it to the Franklin House. John Doyle, who
had checked for the valise, discovering the
theft, succeeded in arresting a yellow boy
who was seen in company with the thief
only few minutes previous, and who, it is
thought was partner in the robbery.-Lhat-

THE CITY

FEAST OF PURM.-To-day the Jews
commenced the celebration Of their sacred
festival-Purim--wh has been observed
by the descendants Of Abraham ever since
it was originally founded. This is a solemn
festival in which they commemorate their
deliverance from the wiles and strategems of
Haman, as recorded in the book of Esther.
By reference to this book il will be seen that
Hannah had issued decree, under the sane
ton Of Ahasuerus for the utter extermina-
ton of the Jews. After his death ON the
gallows, Esther and Mordecai made an in
tercession to the King, and Ahasuerus de-
creed as the laws once issued could not be
revoked, that the Jews throughout all his
provinces might be permitted to withstand
their enemies. The result of this is thus
given in The End verse and 9th chapter Of
Exodus:
The Jews gathered themselves together IN
their cities throughout all the provinces Of the
King Ahasuerus, 10 lay hands on such as might
Withstand them. aud none could Withstand them,
for the fear Of them fell upon all the people

future We should not fail TO arrive at the cause
of the conflict that had filled the land with Or

bellion.

SOME few days since man whose name
we did not learn, but who was employed
at the store Of Thomas Exams, on Lo-
Gust street, was a sufferer TO the amount
of several hundred dollars by a robbery
committed upon him by some unknown
party. Subsequently he became low spirit
ed in consequence Of his loss, and endeavored
to commit suicide. He made an effort TO
cut his throat, and partially succeeded, but
medical assistance being called in, his
wounds were dressed, and il is now thought
that there is no doubt of his recovery. A
man named Bill Weakley was arrested
shortly after, charged with the commission
of the robbery. He was yesterday tried be-
fore Squire Meacham, and being found
guilty, was committed TO jail in default of
paying bond Of 81, 900.
james Fitzgerald, living in West Nash
vile, was tried yesterday before the above
named officer for beating his wife; aud
being found guilty, was fined $25 and
