An Alarm of Fire.

An Alarm of Fire.
Our citizens were startled yesterday after
neon by the cry Of fire, occasoned By the
partial burning Of building adjoining Mr.
Bissetts Liquor Store BJ the prompt and
efficient efforts of those near by, the flames
were extnguished before any very material
damage had been done. The fire originated
through the carelessness ofsome one who had
thrown n lighted cigar into pile of rubbish
in the rear Of the building. Our energetic
fremen were on the ground as soon as poss-
;ble. after the danger was over, with their
mr. and magnf portable chichen rOOst,
or hay rack, as it has been facetiously term
ed-fortunately however, their services were
not brought into requisition, and amidst the
cheers Of the admiring spectators, tie fire
aunihiiator' was drawn by its gallant CON-
pany to the grand and imposing structure
that has been 50 appropriately erected for
is reception by cur liberal and public spirit
ed fellow citizens. We frequently see ad-
yertisemen;s in the city papers, Offering for
sale fire engines and their appurtenances,
but with high appreciation of the efficacy
Of our Department as it exists at present,
our citizens apparently deem it unnecessary
t. 90 TO further expense in purchasing an
engine, building cisterns, or in otherwise
making further provisions against a general
.couflgraton But that we do need one OF
more engines, and a properly organized Fire
Department, is becoming more and more
evident every day. Let our citizens take
action in this matter Immediately. We are
amply supplied with water, and there is no
plausible reason why we should not be pro-
yided with the proper means for using it,
ANOTHER FIRE occurred about an hour
after the above, in a house IN Court House
square, occupied by certain frail Senoritas
The roof Of the building was partially con
sumod but water being close at hand the
fire was cxtinguished before it had made
much progress, Had there been high wind
yesterday, our town would now have been
in ashes Let not this second warning to
our property holders pass uuheeded.

AN AB>URDIr} Of the most ridiculous ma
tnrc is being published by the various Black
Republican papers throughout the State, in
their assertions that majority of our natA
ural.z i citizens viii give their support to
Fremont They claim the German vote as
sare for their candidate, and assert that the
native Caltornians are going with them en-
taaySe. The falsity ofsuch assertions is very
easily proved, and the most superficial glance
Mt the facts in the case will convince any
one that they are without the slightest foun-
d.tion Tie declarations Of the Germans,
Uhcreycr they have been called on for an
expression Of their sentiments, prove their
allegiance 20 the Democratic party and as
to the nati7c population, their leaders thro'
cut the entire southern part Of the State,
lavc given unmistakabe evidence that from
an intimate acquaintance with Fremont and
his career that Of all three Of the candi-
ia cs in the field, he would be the most OBJ
jsetionablc to those who resided iii the State
at tie time the Great Pathfinder was among

izeus to allow ,hem to give their votes for
any man who avows himself sectional can
dilate, and the support that such organs
are loudly proclairuing Mr.. Fremont's vir
tues in the North. pronounce him at once to
be nothing but the mere tool of the faction
that have arraye1 themselves under the
leadership of Greeley, Seward x Co, a.
against the interest OF the South. Whatev
er chance Fremont has among Frec-soil and
Abohtiouist fanatics, he can hardly count
upon support by the bulk of the so called
foreign voters.
