The Fire on' Saturday Night. —About 11.]-
o’oloek Saturday night, a fire broke out ju the
gf Mr. EJgerly, on the north side of Cot
ton Avenue, abum half way between Poplar
and Pine streets, which consumed that building
and several others on each side of it, ex
tending east as far as the house of Mr. J.
Russell, on the corner of Cotton Avenue and
New street, and west as far as the alley above
where it started. The jvind was very high, and
nothing twit the almost superhuman efforts
of the fire department kept the fire from con
suming a great part of that portion of the city.
Most of the buildings burned were the prop
erty of Mr. John Hollingsworth, but we have
not been able to learn to what extent, if any
they were insured. Among the sufferers, we
have heard the names of M. Edgerly, A. Red
ding, Pridgeon, Peary and Cherry. The latter,
we learn, lost nearly everything.
The London Army and Navy Gazette ,
edited by W. H. Russell, of Times' correspond
ence fame, in notioing General Grant’s report,
says: “ General Grant’s theory of war is sira_
ply this : “ I have. 250,000 men to the 150,000 of
the enemy I shall not attempt any stragetical
movements. I snail not try myself in the open
field or ruse campagne against Lee ; but I will
fight the enemy whenever I can, in the convic
tion that I will.make him lose as many men as
I do, and that at last, when I have reduced my
army to 150,000, he will only have 50,000, and
that I must then win.’ He saw no position,
practiced no grand movement, but hammered
away till the head of the hammer was nearly
flattened and destroyed; but at the same time
other tremendous armies were hammering away
at the Confederates on similar principles, yind
the terrible rule in arilhmetic was worked out.
But who, seriously and candidly speaking, will
pronounce that such a system is entitled to the
praise reserved for high efforts of military
genius ? Not Gen. Gi ant, for he appeals to the
great end in view as the justification of his
practice.”
Robert Dalby, and his World of Troubles:
Being the early days of a Connoisseur, is a very
pleasant book, showing the struggles of a poor
boy, who born with a passion for art, struggled
on till he became a respectable artist If shows
what perseverance, industry and patience can
do, in spite of poverty. For sale by J. W.
