The WILMINGTON F1RE.-The Will
mington Journal, of Friday, contains
the following details of the destruc-
tive fire in that city, on Thursday
night:
A fire broke out in the store occu.
pied by Mr.. Charles Guthman, on
Market street, as clothing store,
about 8 o'clock, last night, which
spread up and down the street, de-
stroying five of the principal build
ings on the South side of Market,
between Front and Second streets.
The lowest building burnt, occupied
by Mr.. r. S. Waldon, as dry goods
store; insured for SIS, 900. Mr.. Guth-
man, occupied the next store, was in E.
sured for So, 900. His stock of goods,
valued at about 81, ZOO or $S, 900, was
entirely destroyed. DR.. 7. B. Carr,
who resided above the store of Mr..
Guthman, lost everything, including
his dental instruments, library, &c.
DR.. Carr's loss is estimated at about
Sc, ,000-no insurance. The next
building was occupied by Fl. III.
Munson & Co., as q clothing and
gentlemen's furnishing store. His
stock, valued at $4,000 to $15, 900,
was insured for $4,000. The second
story was occupied by Messrs. Ar
rington & Everett, surgeon dentists.
They held an insurance for SIS, 900,
but their loss will exceed this amount
by So, 900 or $4,000. The next build
ing was occupied by Mr.. Wronski,
dry goods, and Allen Evans, color
ed, grocer. Mr.. Wronski was in
sured for $4,000; above was located
the daguerrean rooms of Mr.. Van
Orsdell, who had an insurance of
So, 900, with q policy of $4,000, just
expired.
A number of persons were buried
beneath the ruins of falling wall, at
5 a. M, to-day. One white man and
four freedmen have, thus far, been
taken from the ruins, in n mangled
condition. 1t is thought that all will
die. A large number of hands arc
now Mt work on the ruins to recover
the other bodies; but it is feared that
ten or twelve were crushed. The fire
was confined to the buildings men
toned in last nights despatch. The
loss will be about 1925, 900.

SERGEANT BArEs-H1s WALK FROM
V1CKsBURa TO WAsH1NaToN.--The
Cairo mlinois) Democrat gives some
particulars of this feat of pedes-
trianism, as follows:
The sergeant was soldier of the
Union army; was one of the first to
enter the service, and one of the last
to leave it. A Democrat from prin-
ciple, he remained true to the party
during all the conflict, and returned
to his home an advocate of iberality
in the treatment of the unfortunate
people of the South. AS O matter of
course, he became target at which
all the radicals in his neighborhood
aimed their abuse. He was villified
and prosecuted by men who had
talked war, but never shouldcred q
musket.
In q controversy with party of
radicals, who maintained that the
Southern people were outlaws, who
did not hesitate to take the life of
any man, white or black, suspected
of Unionism, the sergeant denounced
the assertion as falsehood, and de-
clared that he, an ex-soldier of the
Union army, could march through
the South with the Union flag ex-
posed, without cent in his pocket,
and not only escape bodily harm,
but receive hospitable treatment
from the Southern people, upon
whom ignorant radicalism was heap
ing SO much abuse. - purse heavy
radical offered to bet n certain
amount that he would be killed if he
undertook the journey; and, in the
event of the sergeant's death, agreed
to pay the sum to the "fool- hardy
young mans family"
The banter was accepted by the
sergeant. He will travel from Vicks-
burg to Jackson, thence to Mont
gomery, Ala. thence to Milledgeville,
Ga; thence to Columbia, S. c.;
thence to Raleigh, N. c.; thence to
Richmond and thenceto Washington,
at which place he is to arrive on or
before the 4th of July next.
The sergeant is poor man, de-
scribed as being devoid of conceit,
and perfectly honorable in his con-
duct. Letters have been received by
him from prominent gentlemen liv-
ing in the cities on his march, in
viting him to be their guest when he
passes through, and rendering him a
guard of honor.

The New Orleans colored alderman,
Dumas, who refused to accept the
nomination for Lieutenant Governor,
on the ground that he was "a candi-
date for Governor only" and that
half u loaf was not better than no
bread, is, we observe, among the
persons just removed from Office by
Gen. Hancock. for contempt Of
orders from headquarters" Posi-
bly, if this blow had come before the
other nomination, he would not
have declined it, and would have con-
sented to run as second to the white
nominee for Governor.
