began ta ulf danger in the air, and one's ears were illed with the most terrible rumom. Then the 6ame an unusual increase in.the zumber of wagons on the street; .boxes and trunks were Wig hastily laden at the departments and driven w the Danville Depot. Those whohad deter minea to evaCUate with the fugitive Government looked op. with amazement.-Government exam pie. - Vehicles with two horses, one horse, or even no horse at all, suddenly rose to a premium that was astounding, and ten, fifteen and even a hundred dollars in gold or federal currency, was, *Eered for a conveyance. Suddenly, as if by agic, the streets became'filled with-men walk ing as though fora wager, and behind them ex Ated negroes,.toting trunks, bundleir and luggage of every descripticn. All oveg the city it was the same. Wagons, trunks, bandboxes and their owners--a mass of hurrying fugitives, filling the streets. Tbe banks were a: open, and deposi tors were as busy as bees removing their specie deposits; and the directors were equilly active in getting at their bullion.. Hundreds of thous auds of dollars of paper money was destroyed, both State and Confederate. Night came on, and with iti came confusion worse confounded. There was no sleep for human.eves in Richmond Sunday night. The rapid tramp of men upon the streets, the rattle and roar of wagons, the shouts of soldiers retreating through the city to the Seth side, went on the whole long, long 44ary nigkt. A PM.LAGER K!LLED. One of the pillaging soldiers engaged in rob bing the stores on Main street Monday morning, was shez from the inside by the propr .tor while be was knocking in the show-glass: charge of bhekshot entered his stomach, ad it was betieved te died in a short time; but we. could not learn what became of the body. At the Government clothing store, corner of Cary and Pearl streets, a man, while pillaging clothing, fell through the hatchway and broke his neck. TSR COUSr.SS-RY STOR1KHOsE . At-daybreof Monday morning the scene at the Commissary depot, at the head of the dock, bez gared description. Hundreds of Government wagons were lo ded with bacon, flour and whiskey and driven off in hot haste to join the retreating *rmy. Negroes, with their peculiar "heave oh!" sweated and worked like bearers; but the im, mense piles of storer did- not seem to diminish in the least. Thro2ged about the depot were bundreds of men, womev and children, black and white, provided iih capacious bags, baskets, tubs, buckets, tin- pans and spoons, cursing, push ing and crowdiu, awaiting the throwing open of the doors, and the order for each to help them selves. When the Government wagons had got ten off al the stores possible, it was foind that several hundred barrels of whiskey remained in the upper story. A WISM eCATUCT. . One after another, in hasty procession-, the bar rels were roDed to the* hatcltway, the heads knocked opt, and a minature whiskey Niagara poured continuously.dwn,. pout ing into the dock in a current almost strong enough to have swept a man off his feet. Between two and three hun dred barrels were thus poured out--ag drunk to 'the finny inhabitants of .the river. About suurise the -doors were opened to the populace, and a rush that almost carred the building off its foundation was made, aind hun -dreds. of thousands of pounds of splendid btacon, dour, &c.,.went into the capacious maw of the * And here we may rema1! that while the Con federate governent was making such a poor mou,th over the reputed failure of snppRes while the people were being starved that the -army might be fed, this immense storehouse was bursting with fullness and plenty, to come finally *to utter wreck ad waste. sUDDEN~ wEkLTH.
