New-York, Sept. 30. On Saturday the 21st inst. we had a
terrible fire in the city. . . [11 lines on effects of the
fire] The rebel army having carried off all the bells of
the city, the alarm could not be speedily communicated. . .
[9 lines]
. . . [4 paragraphs] The pumps and fire engines were very
much out of order. This last circumstance, together with
the removal of our bells, . . . clearly evince beyond the
possibility of doubt, that this diabolical affair was the
result of a preconcerted, deliberate scheme. . .
