HEROIC FIRRAEN.- At the recent burn
ing of Esty a. Co.'S melodeon factory
at Brattleboro, an incident of heroic
daring occurred that is worthy of
mention. The safe containing the val
liable papers of the establishment was
in the first story above the basement.
and when the floor was burned through
it fell to the basement floor, nearly on a
level with the street in front, but far
from the front in the midst of a terrible
fire. If it remained there many minutes
it would fall into the cellar where Its
contents would be totally destroyed In
this emergency Mr.. Gilmore Briggs,
against the remonstrances of MIR. Esty,
took the end of a long hook in his hand,
and, with rope attached around his
body, ventured in and affixed the hook
to the safe, the engine company throw
ing stream of water constantly ON
him. AS the safe rolled over he again
and again fixed the hook in position,
remaining in the midst of the fire and
only retreating with the SAFE In this
manner it's valuable contents were saved.
Mr.. Briggs had formerly been fireman
in Boston, Such an exhibition of cool
mes and pluck deserves honorable men
ton. Fortunately he was not in the
least injured, but he owes his safety to
the repeated directions he coolly gave
the flremen, and their implicit obedience
to his orders.

GoLp.-The sudden jump in the pre-
MUM for gold Is explained by the New

not improbable as follows,
"a party OF spectators, whose object
was to raise the premium on coin, per.
fected their arrangements on Saturday,
and commenced operations. BY Tues.
day evening they succeeded In re-
ducing the bulk of gold in the mar
ket to the extent of between four or five
millions, advanced the price of gold to
100 and caused the failure of half a
dozen firms which had been for some
time previously selling short. The com.
bination has now probably cleaned itself
out, and no more danger need he apprc-
hended OF its ability to make additional
purchases. Its next movement will be
to dispose of the load 1t has on hand and

drawn comes again IN, the market re.

ness. The Doctor has advertised with
us to large amount for the last fifteen
years, and has always been as punctual
in making his payments on the hour as
the sun is to rise. This is a boastwhich
too few business men can make, but the
Doctor has reaped an abundant reward

have won. Seldom has merit been more

We have no doubt that every word of
the above, in regard to Doctor Teller's
promptness, is as true as the Holy Bible,
for the Doctor has advertised with US

us the same way. And this is not
all that can be said with truth, and

THE REBEL CoSscRrPTIoN The rebel
newspapers are all crying out against
the proposed sweeping CONSUMPTION at
the South. What the Richmond Wing
had to say Of it has already appeared in
our columns. The Mobile Register says:
In addition to two hundred thousand
stragglers, it is demanded that nine
tenths OF the producers be put in the
field, and women, children and dotards
be left alone to clothe and feed the army.
In other words, we want everybody to
go into an army already naked, hungry a,,d
IL equipped and nobody to support them.
More than forty thousand men have
never, since the war began, been brought
into action to advantage by either side.
And now we are called upon to believe
that big mobs of RAG recruits, halt starved
and poorly equipped, are to do next spring
what veterans have not been able to do
after three years of hard and repeated
trials. What we want is the genius to
conceive and the courage to dare-not
unwieldly lords and awkward squads,
with nobody at home to support them"
To q similar effect speaks the Atlanta
mtelligencer, the Macon (Ga) Tele-
graph, the Raleigh Standard, the Column
bus Sun, etc. If the proposed law is en-
acted, therefore, it is improbable that it
can ever be carried into anything like
general execution against the popular
opposition to it indicated by the press.
Yet the rebel military authorities say
that in such CONSUMPTION lies the only
hope of saving the Confederacy." 1t
/, is a poor foundation of hope.
