hip chandlery, which was full of goods, took fire from the intense heat, and was also consumed, though a considerable lot of valuable property was rescued. The two buildings were part of the Enders' estate, and owned by Mr. Edris Berkeley, of Baltimore, and were, we believe, insured for $6,000 each, one of the policies being issued by the Virginia Fire and Marine Insurance Company. The Old Dominion Nail Company had an insurance of $10,000 on nails stored with Bridgford & Co. Womble & Claiborne an insurance on 200 bbls. fish, stored there. Bridgford & Co. were insured, personally, for $14,000 in various offices, including a policy of $5,000 in the Merchants' office. Mr. Beegleston was insured in the Merchants' Richmond Fire Association, and other offices, sufficient to cover two-thirds of his loss. The State, as well as the occupants and owner of the houses, is a considerable loser by the above fire — a lot of army stores, such as fish, mess pork, rice, apples, flour, hay, tar

Stealing jewelry. --Mathew, slave of the estate of A. Thomas, dec'd, and Claiborne, owned by Judy Smith, were brought before the Recorder on Saturday, and ordered to be punished for breaking the window of Mr. Edward Kersey's store and his show-glass, and taking a box of jewelry therefrom. The affair happened about 5 o'clock, and the idea must have entered their heads as they were proceeding to work. The young man who had charge of the store heard the noise, and, obtaining a pistol, opened the door and discharged it at the thieves, who had become alarmed and were retreating. They were caught afterwards by the watch. The jewelry stolen by them was contained in a small box, the contents being worth about $95.

him. He took another, and was severely wounded. Dickinson now commanded, and taking the flag from Beggs, was himself shot down, as was also Beggs. Butler, resuming the command, was killed by the side of Dickinson, under the flag. Dickinson fell again, but now mortally wounded; and Gladden placing the flag in the hands of Leonard, led the charge. There was no wavering as death swept through the ranks. Shot and shell hailed upon them. The storm raged: "In the whole history," says Claiborne, "there has never been a more striking example of indifference to death, the result of stern resolve. Each man fought for the honor of Carolina. Several companies were almost annihilated. Some had not men enough left to bury then dead, or bear their wounded to the ambulances. The uniforms of some of the officers were literally torn from their persons; the color bearers were shot down, but the flag, bathed in their blood, was always seized as they fell, and borne to the front. Proudly
