house, and forage in the stable, were lapped up by the devouring element. In addition to this loss, a large lot of growing vegetables and valuable fencing surrounding the place was destroyed, and we understand that the same fate overtook two hogs and a calf that were confined in a pen in the rear of the kitchen. Mr. Taylor's loss, including furniture, groceries, &c, is estimated at between seventy-five and one hundred thousand dollars. Fortunately for him he is the owner of a fine farm in Hanover, (at which place he was temporarily sojourning,) or else, in the present crowded state of the city, it would be almost impossible to calculate the loss and inconvenience be has sustained. The fire broke out in the kitchen, and is said to have originated from a spark which fell from the pipe of an old negro woman in her feather bed. On the west of Mr. T.'s residence, the two brick tenements belonging to Franklin Stearns, and occupied respectively by Mr. John W. McKiel and Richard D. Sa
Four cows stolen and sold to a Butcher. --John P. Sledd, one of the oldest and most prominent butchers in the Second Market, was charged before the Mayor yesterday with buying four cows belonging to Dr. Francis H. Deane, which had been stolen from his farm in Hanover. On Saturday morning last three cows were found in the public cattle pens near Bacon's Quarter Branch, and were immediately recognized by Dr. D.

h treason. --John H Marr, sutler of the 14th Tennessee regiment, was arrested in this city yesterday and committed to Castle Thunder on the charge of treason. His offence consists in ingratiating himself into the good graces of a citizen of Hanover, at which place he remained for over two months. When Sheridan's raiders appeared in the neighborhood, he forced his host to take to the woods for safety, and then assumed entire control of the place, entertaining the Yankees in fine style, and by with instructions to shoot him should he show himself, and but for the faithfulness of one of his servants, who watched the opportunity to carry him something to eat, he would surely have starved to death. A forged will was drawn up by Marr, in which the whole of his host's property was made over to himself, and it was on this account, perhaps, that he desired him to be killed. These facts are all attested to by a number of the most respectable citizens of Hanover and adjoining counties.
