They received severe blow here when
the Deputy Accomplishment of this

THE FEARFUL VIRGINIA FIRE.

Tie truth Of the old adase that "mis-
fortunes never come sinsly, was never,
perhaps, more forcibly verified then III
the dreadful calamity which has just be-
fnllcn t~he'wcalthy city Of Virginia. The
heavy depression in ull branches OF
business consequent upon tho suspen-
sion Of the Bank Of California WINS just
being ruised, and trade again beginning
to ilowin its regular channels, when,
without u moments warming, our senses
are stunned by the announcement that
the greater md most valuable portion
Of Virginia City, including several of
the great mills aud hosting works, Ind
furnished food, for the insatiato flames,
md that ten thousand people were left
without II home. In tho history of the
great fires of'America, there is probably
10 instance in which greater destrucs
lion WAS accomplished in SO brief a
space of time, the fire having iusted
only about six hours. When it is re-
Elected that beside the direct losses sus-
tanned, the damage to tho mines by their
flooding with water, owing to the des-
truction of pumping 'innchinery, the
magnitude of the disaster is partially
appreciated. Another attendant evil is
the fnct TINT hundred of men will be
thrown out OF employment, which will
doubtless result in much suffering dur
ing tho coming winter. Assistance is
already being sent to the sufferers from
several quarters, and the ;pFoyeTbial
generosity of the coast will doubtless
now, rs i'll many a former instance,
prove equal to the emergency.
