hearty response.
Among the heaviest losers are the
famous bonanza mining companies,
whose costly works are located there,
the loss Of the Consolidated Virginia
company alone being estimated at
$3.50. 600. When the news reached
San Francisco, perfect pario in the
stock market resulted, majority "'
the owners Of the mining property

Later in the day, however, when the
progress of the flames had been stayed,
a better feeling prevailed.

WHO GEN. OGDEN Is.

The following brief but admirable sketch Of
Gen. Fred. N. Ogden, the hero of the 18th Of
September, we clip from the Mobile REGISTER
OF the 10Th inst. 1t is We believe accurate in
every respect, and a most deserved tribute to
gallant, modest and exemplary citizen
When Louisiana comes to her own again it
will be one Of our most delightful duties to
remember those men who, like Ogden, Mari,
Behan, Bruins, and host of others, sank self
utterly in the grand struggle for the salvation
of the State:
To the Editor of the Register:
Frederick Nash Ogden who has been placed
so consplcuously before the American people
by the part be took in the collision which &C.
Cured in New Orleans on the 18th of Septem-
Der, between the Metropolitan brigade, COM
manded by Gen. Longstreet, and the citizen
soldiers, is truly fine type of the large.
hearted, generous and chivalrous American
citizen. He is the ineal descendant of the
Ogden family of New Jersey, which boasts of
Aaron Ogden and Matthias Ogden, both active
and Jealous in the military and civil service
of the young American government and also
ne is the ineal descendant of the Nash fam
lily OF North Carolina, being at-grandson |
Of Abner Nash, Governor Of North Carolina |
uuAAA6 VIC AsOVOAuClOuAIy WAL, ana the great |
grand nephew of Gen. Frank Nash, who fell |
at the battle of Germantown.
Combining, as he does, the blood Of these
two families, equally distinguished in the his
tory Of this country, it is not to be wondered
at that he displayed, during the conflict of
the States" all the fire and heroism of his
ancestors. He offered as volunteer in one of
the first New Orleans companies which hast
ened to defend Virginia from invasion; after
wards he was appointed to a command in the
heavy artillery, and stationed at Vicksburg.
During the memorable siege of that place,
Major Ogden, commanding the water-line
batteries was widely known and respected.
His behavior on many occasions elected the
praise and commentator of his superiors.
When Vicksburg fell, Major Ogden soon
rev restless under the inactivity of paroled
prisoner Of war, and through active exertion
N his part he was exchanged and given q /
Command under Forrest. Here opened before
lim splendid field. and he was fast winning ,
aurels and disclosing many fine military
uallties when the surrender of Lee and john
on brought hostilities to close. Since the Z
ar he resumed his business as merchant, :.
nd only left the active pursuit of his mercan-
lie interests to assert for his fellow-citizens p
ne right to bear arms" One military blow tt
rushed the Kellogg army, and enabled New h

fairs, and is the most beloved citizen in the %
