LOCATIoN For TIE STEAM FIRE -ENGINEs.

The Committee on Fire Department Of the Board Of
Aldermen had meeting Yesterday afternoon in rela
tOn 10 the choice Of location for the steam ir-en
gines. Several insurance officers met the Committee
and urged the necessity OF temporary location in the
lower end Of the Park as the most convenient point,
the fires requiring inch engines being generally down
town. There j. Of the engines completed which has
been tried another Will be completed IN three weeks
and the third which is the tO be presented to the
city by tie fren,urance companies, will he ready in
about a week The city will, therefore, in the course
If month, be in the possession of three powerful
steam fre-engDes, and the necessity Tor immediate
steps for temporary house for them is apparent.
Mr. ADAMS expressed hIs preference ior q temporary
engine house for them the lower end Of the Park:

The NAY0R suggested that the front of the building

Resumption in GEORGIA.

Concert of action between the
Banks of Savannah and Augusta is
likely to effect speedy resumption
Of specie payments in Georgia. The
Banks of the cities named are fully
to resume at once, but very
naturally desire the company Of the
Banks Of their neigbboring State,
South Carolina. The Banks Of Au-
gusta propose to those of Savannah
Simultaneous resumption on the first
of June, without reference to the
action Of the Banks of South Caro-.
lima. We hope TO see this sugges-
iion iavorably acted upon. Notwith-
standing the "wild cat banking of
Georgia, which has become SO noto-
rious throughout the whole country,
the cities Of Savannah and Augusta
have always been distinguished for
their sound and legitimate Banking
Institutions.

The Defeat Of LecOmpton in the
House.

The telegraph Friday morning
announced the defeat of the Senate
bill to admit Kansas into the Union
under the Lecompton Constitution.
CRITTENDEN amendment, which was
adopted in the House, II we recollect
right, admits Kansas into the Union,
and refers the question of her con-
stitution back to the people. The
South has been defeated and betray.
ed in this matter by her own Rep
resentatives. A majority Of the
Southern Know Notbings must have
voted with the enemy.
Doubtless the Senate will refuse
to concur in this amendment, and
the House will have another excited
struggle over it. What is to be the
end we cannot foretell. At present,
appearances are gloomy.

the severe criticisms upon his course

Did he ever originate and carry
through any great measure? Has be
ever established any great and vital
principle, that will leave its impress
upon our future history? None tba.

has uniformly voted, on all great
