AUGUSTA, (Ga.) March 20.


F,RE!-On Monday evening last, about
II O'Clock, fire broke out in the upper part
OF our city. in a kitchen attached to the
store Of MIR. Buford, on Broad Street, near
iy opposite the Planters Hotel. 1t soon
communicated To the store, and the build
inss III the vicinity being of wood, in the
course of ali hour they were all in flames.
The fire was not got under until about half
past one o'clock; when it was arreSted, on
The east, by the fire proof store Of Mcssrs.
May and Burnet, and on the west, by the
storo of Messrs. q. r Jesup & Co, also
hire proof. All the buildings ON Broad ST.,
between these two points. were totally de-
s'roycd, as were also the out buildings and
back stores leading through to Ellis street.
The two story wooden building ON Ellis
street. in line with the house occupied by
MIR. Jesup, was saved after much exertion
on the part Of few Of our citizens, among
whom was distinguished our intrepid fel-
low citizen, ]. Fl. Spelman, through whose
exertions this building was saved,-had il
| taken fire, several other back stores and out
buildings would have been destroyed. and
the fire would have extended up Ellis
street, to the rear of p. Stovali's brick bull
ding.
The loss by this fire will not exceed
thirty thousand dollars. as all the buildings
destroyed were old wooden houses, scarcely
worth repairing. The principal loss is on
the goods in the different stores, most OF
which were saved i'll Il damaged condition,
and we understand are under insurance, SO
that the loss will fall on insurance officers,
who are able to bear it.
Our engine companies used every excr-
tion to suppress the flames, but they were
badly supported by our citizens, abou, nine
| out OF every ten Of whom would have
done more service had they remained at
home.
It's really disheartcning zig Int to witness
fire in this city; for when one occurs, you
will see hundreds of our most respectable
| citizens. the greater portion Of whom are

hold OF the ongiues or forming lines TO sup

arms. looking on! So long as this is the
case what arc we to expect? Is tito be
supposed, that our energetic young men,
and mechanics, will long use their cxertions
| at hres in saving the property of others,
when they see such an example set BY the
very men who should he foremost? < fire

we advise all such hereafter to remain a,

MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.

A TRUE REVIVAL.

What Minister would not desire TO come
to his people each Sabbath morn sin The
tutness Of the blessing of the Gospel Of
Christi" And yet how few CONSIDER tn
full meaning o! this expression! We have
thought it would be profitable to our readers,
to insert some remarks Of the Rev. Thomas
Scott, from a discourse Of his upon this
subject. We shall see in these extracts
what were his conceptiIns OF a ministers
''coming in the fulness Of the blessing OF
the gospel" and we shall see also that he
thought that ministers ought to aim at the
accomplishment Of great things-and that
too often the cause why the ways of Zion
do langulsh, and few come TO her solemn
tcasts, is that they who stand upon her
wills tecomc careless and neg lee nj. and
do noI depend, as they should, upon the
operat ous of the Holy Spirit, nor expect a
large c sing. May these remarks ofthls
distinguished son of the Church, be word
in season 10 US who bear the sacred vessels.
Ii sinners will perish, let US look to it, that
It be moi our fault. Let us lift up our voices
like trumpet; lei US fearessly sound The
alarm, while We look continually to Cod
and then, If men will 60 on ard prefer death
to life, their blood will not be upon our gar
mentS.
"Coming in The Jukness efh blessing Of
the Gospel, means, in general, that not only
one or two obtain blessing from his min
istry, but that large numbers receive the
blessing, "yea, the tulness of The blessing Of
the gospel" When Peter first preached
the gospel of repentance and remission of
sins he went amongst the murdercrs of
CHRIST in the fulness of this blessing. Three
thousand were converted in one dav: soon
they became five thousand; and soon ten
thousand believed, and continued sleadfast
in the Apostles doctrine and fellowship, and
were Of one heart and soul, and great grace
was uEoa them ALL"
"From these instances, YOU may sec
what mean by minister ''coming ln the
fuIness of The blessing Of the Gospel Of
Christ" Il is when hundreds are brought

when al that appear converted, or aImos,
all, for a few even in the primitive church
wcredecevers, are Of one heart and soul,

their worldly habits and connexions, and in

That decensons from the paths of holis

renewed by divine grace have cares and

pect alone from Him. Secret prayer has
been justly calltd the pulse ofthe soul, in.
dicating life or death, declension or growth |;
hence, everything in the Christian life goes

Beware of;lIowing any motive, however

HOW TO ENCOURAGE THE HEART AGAINs7

HOW TO ENCOURAGE THE HEART AGAINST
DEATH.
There are seven arguments, which shall
urge upon the people of God at such a time
as this, to make them cheerfulIy entertain
the messengers of death, and die as we'll as
live, like saints. And the first is this:
Argument l. The harmlessness Of death
to the people Of God. Though it keep its
dart, it hath lost its sting. A saint (to al
lude to that, lisa. xi: s. "May play upon
the hole of the asp" and put his :.hand into
the cockatrces den." Death is the cocka.
trice, or asp, the grave is his hole or den; a
saint need not fear 10 put his hand boldly
into it. 1t hath left and lost its sting in the
sides ofChrist, l Cor. XIV; &C. 20 death
where is thy sting7" Why art thou afraid,
O saint, that this sickness may be thy death,
as long as thou knowest that the death OF
Christ is the dea.h Of death Indeed, if
thou didst die in thy sins, as John viii; 81
If death, g a king, did reign over thee,
Rom. v: IA. If it could feed upon thee,
as the lion doth upon the prey he hath ia
ken, as Psalm xix: IA. If"hcI followed
the pale horse," as it is, Rev. vi: l, then
thou migbtest well startle and shrink back
from it /; but when God hath put away thy
sins from thee, Gas far as the east is from
the west," Psal. Gill. l2; as long as there
is no other evil left in death for thee TO en-
counter with but bodily pain; as long as
the scriptures represent it 10 thee under
such harmless and easy notions, as the put
ting off thy clothes, 2 Cor. v: 2; "And
lying down TO sleep upon thy bed" Isa.
ivii: 2, why shouldst thou be afraid p
There is as much difference betw;xt death
10 the people of God, and others, as betwixl
the unicorn's horn, when it is upon the head
of that fierce beast, and when it is in the
apothecary's shops, where it is made salu.
brious and medicinal.
Arg.2. The heart may be kept from
shrinking back at such time as this, BY con.
sidering the necessity Of death, IN order 10
the full truition Of God.
Whether thou art willing to die or no, |
assure thee there is no other way to obtain
the full satisfaction oflhy soul, and COM
pec its happiness, till the hand of death 60
thee the kind Office to draw aside the cur
tain Of the flesh, thy soul cannot see God.
This animal life stands betwixt him and
thee, 2 Cor. v 6; "Whilst we are at home
in the body, we are absent from the Lord"
The body must be refined and cast into
new mould, else that new wine Of hnayenly
glory would break it. Paul, ia his highest
rapture, 2 Cor. xii: 4, when he heard things
was then but standcr.by, a
!ookeron. not admitted into the company
as one oC;hfm: but as the angels arc in
our assemblies, 81 was Paul in thu, gIori.

rue do we find that OF Theophraslus The
soul pays dear rent for the tenement it
now lives in. But glorifed bodies are clog
g d with no in.ispos'tons death is the best
physician; It will cure thee OF all diseases
at once. (2.) With the indwelIing of sin ;
this makes us groan from he very bowels,

tons here, but as soon as we are out OF the
body, we are out OF the reach of templa
ton: when once thou art got into heaven
thou mayesl say, Now Satan, am there
where thou canst not come, for as the damn.
ed in hell are malo o5formati, so fixed in
sin and misery, that their condition cannot
be altered so gIorifcd saints are bono con-
frmati, so fixed in holiness and glory, that
they cannot be shaken. a. Here we groan
under various troubles and affections Dul
then the days OF our mourning are ended
God shall wipe away all tears from our
eyes. o hen let US haste away, thai we
may be at rest! ::
Arg.7. If still thou linger, like Lot IN
Sodom, then, lastly, examine 1.-The pleas anu
pretences for longer time on earth. "n'
art tnou unwilling to die?
Objection l. o have many relations
in the world, know not what will become
ofthem when am gone.
Solution. If thou art troubled abou'
their bodies, and outward condition, why
shoal not that woro satisfy thee, Jer. xix
II. "Leave thy fatherless children 10 me-
| will keep them alive, and let thy widows
trust in me-" Lu;her, in his last will and
tes ament, hath this expression, Lord, thou
last givtn me wife and children, have
noihing to leave them, but commit them
unto thee. o Father of the tatherless' ano
Judge of widows, Nmri, serra doce, noursh
keep, and teach them Or, art thou trou
bled for their souls? Thou canst not con'
vert them, if thou shouldst live. aud Go
can make thy prayers and counsels to live
and take place upon them when thou ar
dead.
Objection 2. l would fain live TO do Coo
more service in the world.
Solution. Well, but if he have no more
service for thee to do here, why shonlds
thou no, say with David. "It he have nc
delight TO use me any farther, here am !
let him do what se"meh him good" Ii
this world thou hast no more 10 do, but he
IS calling thee to an higher service and en-
,loyment in heaven and what thou would
do for him here, he Can do that b! o'hs
hands.
Objection 3. am not yet fully ready,
am no, as bride, completely adorned fol
the bridegroom.
Solution. Thy justification is complete
already, though thy sanctification be nol so
- and the way to make II so is to die: fol
till then il will have defects aud wants.
Objection 4. o but want assurance
| i'll had that, | could die presently.
Solution. Yea, there 1t sticks, indeed
but then consider, tha an hearty willingness
to leave all the word to be freed from slI
and be with God, is the next way TO that de
sired assurance; no carnal person was eve
willing to die upon this ground. -tMvet'
