speculation have purchased, but prices have gen

burning OF james Gordon Bennett,s
Residence.
The New York Times of this morning contains
The quiet OF Washington Heights was rudely
interrupted yesterday morning, at the residence
OF Mr.. James Gordon Bennett. by the discovery
OF smoke issuing from the wainscoting OF the
sleeping apartment Of Mr.. Bennett, Jr. close
scrutiny OF the house failed to reveal the seat of
the bre, but it was evident that there was
secret hre, which at any time might burst forth.
The fre penetrated the floors and walls at
different points in its progress upward, and the
confined smoke forced its way out wherever 1t
found crevice, and traces of II appear In every
room, so thoroughly had II penetrated the hol
low walls OF the building. The destruction by
the fire is comparatively small but almost every
room in the house has been deluged with water
and the plaster aud tresco, of course, ruined.
The water with which the engines were sup
piled was drawn from the large cisterns of the
house and the conservatory, and there was an
abundant supply of IT. The loss is estimated at
about $2O,O00. The building is insured for

The scene after the suppression of the fire was
one OF thorough discomfort aud confusion. The
least injured of the rooms still contained furni-
ture, statues pictures, and mirrors lying in utter
disorder. Magazines, reviews, newspapers, re-
ports, bound volumes of "Raffaelles,n llustra.

the. furniture, however, was removed to the
billiard room. Mr.. Bennett, Sr., seemed to be
solicitous only for the safety of the files of the
Herald, a complete series OF which was in the
library. Mrs. Bennett IS absent in Europe and
the family in the Fort Washington house con.
sisted OF Messrs. Bennett, Senior and Junior;
Miss Bennett, and Miss Crane, visitor. at q
o'clock this afternoon the family came into the

WASHINGTON, Sept 1s Special dispatches to
the New York Herald, this morning, contain the
following:-
There seems to be very little doubt enter
tanned among those officers and clerks of the
Treasury Department, whose official relations
with.the currency printing division afford them
good opportunities for observation, that S. NJ.
Clarke, the late chief of that division, will not
again have charge OF it. Notwithstanding the
denials that have been put forth from the Trea-
sury of Mr.. Clarkes resignation, 1t is believed
that his resignation as Chief of the Currency
Printing Division has been accepted by Mr..
McCuloch, and that the leave of absence was
merely ruse adopted in order to accomplish
the change of officers in q quiet way. There is
no truth in the statement that Mr.. Clark is here
using the machinery of the printing division to
prepare designs OF revenue stamps. He is now
in Stonington, Conn.,, with his family. Mr..
Clarke still holds the Office of Disbursiug Agent
for the Treasury Extension, and appears in

Special Despatch TO The lEUe,,tn0 Telegraph.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 18.-The suicide of young
Beckley, the Virginia Confederate colonel,
which took place at the Maltby House, was a
most melancholy commentary ON gambling. He
lost all his own money and over thousand
dollars belonging to others, at gambling house
here, thus leaving his wife and family in abject
poverty and himself without means to pay his
board. In his desperation he killed himself.
1t is said the gambler now proposes to return
the money to his wife.
The steamer Baltimore from Bremen, arrived
here this morning. She has over seven hundred
passengers, had fine weather and prosperous
voyage.
The weather yesterday was very cold, but to-
day is much warmer. There is some frost in the
country. A severe hail storm in the Chesapeake
bay occurred ON Wednesday evening.
The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal is again
repaired. Boats are running.
The first bale of new cotton has Just been
received here.
The Republicans are again preparing for

To the Editor Of the N. Y. Tribune Sir: In
Withholding the address and name of the writer
OF this communication l am governed by pru.
GENITAL considerations only. 1t Is sorro Wful
commentary upon the state of society at the
South, that mau dare not make a truthful
report of the wellknown facts over his own
name. Union men in Virginia are barely able
to stay here, under the most annoying circum-
stances. Native Virginia Unlonists all concur
in saying that it Is as damaging now to be
known as Union man as 1t was in 1861. The
penalties attached to Unionism are no doubt
somewhat modified by the presence of the Bu-
Teau and military; but we cab easily understand
what would be our condition if Seymour and
Blair should be elected. We can scarcely bear
the pressure now-it would be intolerable
should they be elected. 1t is the general inten-
ton of ali Unionists, whether born north or
south OF Mason and DXon's line, to emgrate to
some other country IL the event Of their elec-

Alvin Warner. He is native of Pennsylvania.
He opened colored school near Buckingham
Court House about the first of August last. ON
the 2Sth OF the same month, alter midnight,
about fifteen ruffians, armed with revolvers, and
with disguised faces, broke down Mr.. Warmers
door, dragged him from his bed and with
nothing on him but his shirt, took him to a
lonely place, where after brusing him and
otherwise outraging him, they attempted to
hang him TO tree. While they were
blindfolding their victim, and pre-
pairing to put the, rope around
his neck, a negro, impelled by curiosity,
or desire to assist Mr.. Warner, made his ap-
pearaDce, and they attacked and nearly killed
him 1t was during this diversion that Mr..
Warner, by an almost superhuman effort,
wrenched himself from the grasp of his would
be murderers, and fed by crcuitous paths bet
ter known to him than to them, to place of
safety. Several shots were fred upon him, but
they did rot take effect. In the morning Mr..
Warner obtained the assistance of friendly

be imagined, was in pitiable plieht The
next day Bureau officer and Mr. Warner re-
turned TO Buckingham county to find evidence
to identify some or all the outlaws. 1t is doubt

SOUTH CAROLINA.
War CIOud-Extract from a Private
Letter

A private letter from this State, dated Sept.
IL, says: lis Grant TO be elected? That is the
question which we feel most interest in. If not,
you can as surely look for bloody revolution
in the South, as that Seymour and BLAIR will be
elected. 1t is well understood here that Blair
has already made declaration of war IN his
Broadhead letter, and that Seymour has in-
dorsed it. The Reoels, or Democrats, conf
IDENTIFY believe that they will take possession OF
the State governments under their old consttu-
tions II Blair shah be elected. To make
success nnnS6es more ceraT they are receiving
rifles and are shipping them, into the
warlike preparation is being made, they LAY that
as likely as that the women of New York will
insurrect. They have smothered down their
public threats made Immediately on their return
t1om the New York Convention, or rather they
do not find their way into the public prints but
they talk 1t on the stump and in private, that
they will never submit to be governed save by
their Hamptons and men OF his stamp. II the
people of the North want peace they must elect
Grant. III they desire 10 see this country again
deluged in blood, and the South made desert,
let them elect Blair, who in advance has told us
that we must either ingloriously surrender all
We we gained by four years war (which,
orphans), or leave this fair country TO
be ruled by set OF men who know not the
meaning OF the word generosity, when in pow
With the reins of government in the hands of
such men as would take control, we have
nothing to expect but 10 be slaughtered IN
detail, or to submit to a condition worse than
the most abject slavery. You may as well tell
the people OF the North that it rests with them
to Give peace quiet, and prosperity 10 the South,
and indeed to the whole country, oy the election
of Grant, or again force upon the country war
and anarchy by the election of men who have
already decided the only Governments now ex
isting in the South to- be revolutionary and
that they must be broken up, and that the peo-
pie who have been true to the Government shall
be turned over to class of men who think no
more of taking the life of a man than they
would that OF dog when he stands between
them and their wishes, however trAing. Onr
State will give, great majority for Grant.
We will lose all of one portion of the State,
where our majority is small, because the oppo.
stion are well organized, and armed with the
Winchester eighteen-shOoting rifles, and are
determined to force every man to either vote
with them or not vote at all. They have no
objection to the negroes voting If they vote as
they wish them. Their organization Is perfect,
and the programme is to station squads Of
armed men at all the public crossings of
streams and roads to dlsperse the Republicans
on their way to the polls. We will carry the
Slate, however, in spite of all they can do.
