WASHINGTON, October 3l.-Those who
have the best opportunity of knowing
say that the Presidents letter published
to day addressed to the editor of the
Cincinnati Gazette, although referring
to the second term. expresses his views
as to the third term. Permission to pub
lish this letter was considered means
compatible with his sense of the propri
ETY. of making known the position he now
occupies.

The rsgro Convention held at Nash
Vile last spring adopted the following in
one of the resolutions:

Four Fires since yesterday.

Last evening fire broke out in rear
OF the residence of Charles Stout, on
Poplar street The Kitchen frame
building, was destroyed.
At four o'clock this morning the two
story residence of Colonel Jacob Thomp-
son, ON the fernando road. was totally
destroyed by FIRE, as was also large
amount Of valuable furniture, clothing,
etc.
Last night fire broke out at the
Pamela Oil Works, at the navy yard, but
it was suppressed before any damage
was done to either building or machinery.
At eight o'clock this morning the
frame residence Of j. A. Merrimsn, on
the corner of Pontotoc and Mulberry
streets, was discovered to be on FIRE.
Before it could be suppressed by the
6remen the roof was burned off and
considerable damage was done by fire
and water. The furniture was carried
out and saved.
INSURANCE.
On the Thompson residence, and OF
the furniture there was no insurance.
Colonel Thompson lost valuable col.
lection of paintings and several pieces
Of sculpture which he had purchased
during several years of wsnderings in
foreign lands. We are unable to give
any true estimate Of the loss sustained
The insurance on the Pamela Oil
Works is held in Eastern Companies,
and as but little or no damage was done,
it is unnecessary to give the amounts of
insurance or the companies which hold
such.
On Mr.. Merriman's dwelling there is
an insurance in the Home of New York
for $4,000 (Carrrington 4 Mason agency
The estimated loss is about $500.
The Poplar street FIRE at Mr.. Stout 5
dwelling involves no insurance.

The Surrender of the 9irginius Pris-
0nerS.

NEW YORK, December %.
The New York IrGbuHe'S Key West tel
egram gives al account of the surrender
OF the Virginius prisoners to Lieut.. Com.
Brane, of the Juniata. 1t appears that
the authorities to the last moment kept
INC rnnr wretChes in ignorance OF their
prospective .elaase, and with base inhu-
manly Ied lhem to suppose that they
were to be executed. Priests were with
them, taxing their concessions and dying
declarations, and imploring them to look
to God for pardon. They yrvru takuu out
of prison in despair, but on their way to
the slaughtcrpen, as they supposed, their
eyes fell upon the Juniata, flying the flag
of the United States When they realized
the truth a scene occurred which beggars
description, Their enthusiasm knew no
bounds. They were speedily transferred
to the deck of the Juniata, and gave vent
10 the most extrayagant but touching de-
monstrations OF joy, embracing each
other, some crying, some kissing,
and Others offering thanks to the Almighty
for their deliyerance from the horrors
of their dungeon and the prospect of an
ignOminiOus death On the night before
the surrender, the officers and crew ofthe
Juniata were stationed at their quarters,
her guns being turned on the city. The
Spanish volunteers having been excited
to an open riot by the rumOr that Tie sur
render was to take place, large number
of them went in q body to the Governors
palace and begged permission TO attempt
the capture OF the Juniata, saying that
they could do it with knives alone The
Governor refused to grant permission.
Our officers believe that the application
was made in earnest, and not Il few regret
that it was not fayorably entertained as
the Juniata alone, not to speak of the
Kansas and Pinta, would have been more
than a match for her aSsailants. On the
arrival of the Pinta at Santiago orders
come To the ship from Commodore Braine
for the paymaster to issue all the blank
cts and pea-jackets in his department to
the prisoners, who were hardly tit to
be seen in their rags This was
speedily done, but, as there was still great
destitutiOn, orders came for every man on
board to give their own blankets and spare
wearing apparel in the good cause, prom
Uses being made that all would be replaced
on the arrival OF the ship at Key West.
The officers and men cheerfully complied
with this order, only prctcrring that it
should be issued rs a request, in which
case they would have obeyed with just as
much alacrity. Every heart was touched
by the pitiablc condition of the prisoners.
The poor fellows report that they were
barbarously treated. The surrender took
place at Moro Castle, six miles below
Santiago. 4 receipt was given for the
prisoners.
It was reported in Santiago that when
il was found that the Nirginius had been
towed out Of the harbor Of Havana, a
large number of officers of high grade
rendered their designations to the home
Government by telegraph.
