Evening Mirror. MACON, JANUARY 22, 1866. T. A, BURKE, Editor. 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.
