safely home. I have just written to Colonel Northrup, Commissary-General, to ask an appointment as clerk in his department. So many of the young men have been ordered to the field, that this office has been open to ladies. My cousin, Colonel F. G. Ruffin, of the same office, has interested himself for me. They require us to say that we are really in want of the office-rather a work of supererogation, I should say, as no lady would bind herself to keep accounts for six hours per day withoutW. is safe, and R. is doing well; he was wounded in his leg. Severely? she asked. His left leg has been amputated below the knee; he is at the University, under the care of Mr. and Mrs. Minor and his sisters, and is doing remarkably well. Colonel Ruffin received a telegram to-day, and I a letter. She passed her hand across her eyes for a minute, and said, Thank God, his life is spared! Next morning she left us for the University. General Bragg has met with a repulse in the South-west,

, need eventually the co-operation of our sisters through out the State, and therefore we would suggest that in every county and in every community societies be formed at once. Whatever amounts can be raised, let them be forwarded as soon as possible to our Treasurer, Mrs. Samuel M. Price. We will say in conclusion, that the most of those who may be wounded in any battle that may take place will be brought here; still, as already mentioned, we propose to send nurses and comforts to the different camps. You will therefore feel as deep an interest as ourselves in the success of this movement. We have the President's sanction for what we propose, and with your aid promptly rendered we may, by God's blessing, do a great deal for the bodily and spiritual comfort of those who may endure pain and suffering for us and our country.

Fire. --At an early hour on Saturday morning, a building formerly occupied by F. G. Ruffin as a guano mill, but lately as a snuff and tobacco factory by Charles L. Hobson, on Cary street, north side of the Basin, took fire and was partially destroyed. The property belongs to the estate of Mr. S. D. Crenshaw. By the well directed efforts of the firemen the damage was principally confined to the roof and upper story, though the machinery and stock sustained a good deal of injury from the flood of water. The building, which is insured for $10,000 in the Insurance Company of the State of Virginia, is damaged to the amount of about $2,000. We understand that the machinery was insured for $13,000, in the Merchants', Valley, and Alexandria companies. The origin of the fire is unknown.
