ate Armory, on the west, down Cary street to a point below Fourteenth, and down Main nearly to Fifteenth on the south side, and to Thirteenth on the north; up Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth, destroying every building on Bank street from Ninth to Twelfth, except the Custom-House; burning the Mechanics Institute building, the United Presbyterian Church, Goddin's Hall, the State Court- House, the American Hotel, the Petersburg Railroad buildings and bridge, the Danville depot and bridge, and Mayo's bridge; sweeping away that immense structure known as the Gallego Mills, leaving all this extended area scarcely a building, and in rendering hundreds of persons houseless. Such is a brief description of the ravages of the terrible fire on the 3d of April last. But the destruction did not stop here. The torch was also applied to Dibrell's warehouse, on Cary, between Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets, consuming that and the County Court-House adjacent. Several hundred buildings were

While we regret very much the necessity for establishing such a force as the one we now hav

Fall of a wall. --Yesterday morning, while some laborers were engaged in throwing up sand against a part of the wall which constitutes a portion of the ruins of Mayo's old warehouse, at the foot of Fourteenth street, destroyed by fire on the 3d of April, the wall gave way and precipitated to the ground a negro who was sitting upon it.
