A horrid and fearful amount of ruins The

two men were engaged in eaulking new
tank containing oil TO the amount of two
hundred barrels. One of the slaves being

were soon enveloped in one huge mass OF
flames with no earthly means of checking
this fearful tide 1t rolled onward down
the run in flames, c ammunicating with ev-
erything combusti5le, sweeping every OBJ
iect before it. It soon found channel
which carried the burning mass into the
Bennehof run, catching in its way three
re6peries, some 90 or more buildings and
several wells in progress o. drilling. In less
than Is minutes from the breaking out Of
the fire, it was emptying itself into the

Reminiscences from Mosbx.

A literary gentleman who has been
writing a book on some events of the war,
has had d correspondence with Mosby, the
Virginia guerilla, to elicit some informa-
tion required. In reply to a question
whether it would be safe for Black Re-

"If you have any desire to visit the his
toric scenes of Virginia, I hope you will
not be deferred by any apprehensions of
your personal safety. You will be Just as
safe from molestation here as in thestreets
of Boston. Should you determine to visit
Northern Virginia, would be glad to see
you at my home; and can at least pro-
mise that you will not find me the mons

The ConptroIIer.satp Of one Trea.ury

The COmPtrOIIer-S6fP Ofthe Treasury
The office of Comptroller of the Treas
ury, in the State of Ohio, is an anomaly
in government. 1t was created immedi-
ately after the Breslin-Gibson defalcation
by an over-timid Legislature, anxious TO
protect the Treasury of the State from the
shadow of the shade of danger from fraud.
But the law which instituted it, imperfect
as it is in many respects, is most especially
imperfect and unwise in establishing this
Office The Comptroller of the Treasury
is superfuity. His only duty is to stand
between the Auditor and Treasurer, and
the whole work of his Office is only devo-
ted to duplicating the business done in the
Offices of one or the other Of the latter
functionaries. In no other State does
such an Office exist. To be sure they have
Controller in New York, but in that
State they have no Auditor of State, ard
the Controller assumes his duties. The
Office of Comptroller is sinecure and
superhuity, unprecedented and unneces-
sary.
We are glad to see that bill has been
introduced into the State Senate, by the
the Hon. ]. 7. Brooks, for the abolition of
the Office. IF the bill passes, a saving of
from ten to twelve thousand dollars a
year will be effected, and the efficiency of
the executive department of the govern
ment will be in no wise impaired. Re
taenchment is one of the first duties of our
Legislators at present. and we know of no
better place to retrench than right on this
point. Mr.. Brooks's bill should receive
the unanimous support Of every member
of both Houses. The Democracy claim
to be in favor of retrenchment, and we
hope that their representatives in the
Legislature, following the example of the
Plain Dealer Of this city, may prove their
