will be the anniversary of the great fire
of last year, and a review of the building
operations in the burnt district WI
cates a surprising progress. A -large
part of the territory is still vacant, biit
the improved character of the buildings
already erected more than compensatbs
in dollars and cents for the entire loss.
The value of the buildings erected in the
burnt district during the year is $1,348,
000, and the work is still going forward
in a most gratifying manner. In spite of
the verr large increase in the number of
business blocks, th'e number of vacant

When the news ot the evacuation of
Richmond and the capitulation of the
remnant ot Lee's army at Appomattox
Court-house reached Ganeral Breckin
ridge's headquarters, it was determined
in a council of war, at which Gen.
Joseph E. Johnson presided, that any
further resistance to the overwhelming
tome of the Federal armies would be a
useless effusion of blood oa the part of
the Confederates, who were already cir
cumvented by the enemy and suffering
for Mod. It was at this period, about
the middle of April, 1805, that General
Breckinridge,, after a perilous ride of
over a thousand miles on horseback,
evading the Federal cavalry in his
' flight through North Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama and Florida, at last succeeded
in reaching the mouth of the St. John's
' river, where be was joined by Colonel
Wilson, of the Florida cavalry; J. Tay

erate privateer Tallahassee, and Cap

Cuba, by a brig bound from Cardemts to
New - York. Passing themselves oft tts
fishermen from Florida, they procured
some supplies and proceeded on their
way. On the 11 of June, 1863, the party.
reached Port of Cardenas, in the island
of Cuba, without a nautical instrument
to guide them over the trackless waters
in that frail fishing boat. The party
was hospitably received by the Spanish
Governor of the place, Colonel Bard,
to whom General Breckenridge pre
sented his sword and the arms of his
party. These were Immediately re

at their disposal, and, accompanied by

ceeded to Havana. When the train
reached Regis, on the opposite
