Fire in Dinwiddie county.
--The Petersburg Express, of the 22d inst., learns that a new frame barn on the promises of Dr. R. M. Anderson, of Dinwiddie county, about fourteen or fifteen miles from this city, was destroyed by fire on Wednesday last, and 8,000 pounds of tobacco, together with the tobacco screws, were consumed with it. Some of the Doctors negroes had been at work in the building, and had left it to get their dinner, without the precaution to shut the door when they went out. While they were absent, a sow and some shoats entered and commenced rooting about in the straw and dry tobacco on the floor, and it is supposed rooted the inflammable material against the stove in which a fire was burning and thus became ignited.
The hogs were also burned.
The barn was valued at $200.

The editorials ought to nerve every Southern man with a determination to disappoint those wild anticipations of an overwhelming triumph, and to sustain his country's cause the more readily in the face of reverses which give these Northern braggarts an opportunity of chuckling over the expected downfall of a free people.

This panic is like that of an unearthed colony of rats, scampering wildly in every direction

Eagerness for Southern stocks.
--The New York Herald, of the 22d instant, in its morning article, contains the following, the tone of which is by no means so confident of a speedy crushing out of the "rebellion":
The public are buying Tennessee, Missouri and other Southern State stocks with more recklessness than judgment.
The subjugation of the Tennessee rebels has only just commenced, and no one here has the least idea of the condition of the finances of that State; it can hardly fall, in any event, to come out of the war crippled, ravaged, and with credit and resources gravely impaired.
Yet there are not wanting buyers of its securities at cents on the dollar.
Missouri, perhaps, occupies a better position, as the war will probably render her a free State.
But Missouri sixes have already risen 14 per cent. There is no reason to suppose that the interest on them will be paid for some time, and the first act of the State Government, after the war, will probably be to
