FIRE.-On Friday night between


FIRE.-On Friday night between
twelve, and one o'clock, our usually
quiet town was aroused by the cry
of fire! On inquiry, it was found
that the kitchen, negro house, store
room and smoke-house, on the
premises of Mrs. Bass were on fire.
AS soon as the alarm was given
many rushed to the scene of destruc-
ton and by almost superhuman
effort succeeded in arresting the de-
vouring flames, and thereby saved
the dwelling house; which was at
times 80 heated as to draw the.tur-
pentine from the weather boarding.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed
on the noble and self-sacrificing spir-
its that withstood the destructive ell
emcnt, and exposed themselves tothe
greatest danger, Conspicuous among
that number we noticed Messrs S. Fl.
Gwinner, South wick, p. 4. Noonan,
Col. Norman, T. Wilson, and D.
Mercy. Many others assisted in
various ways, but to the daring and
intrepidity of those mentioned, the
saving of Mrs BASIS dwelling is
attributable. We were particularly
struck with the nonchalence of the
freedmen. Many of them looked on
with arms a-kimbO as if it were bed
of shavings or something no more
valuable being consumed. Others
would, when ordered peremptorily,
move at q snail's gallop, and only
about five out of fifty offered to help
in any way. Foremost il that MINI
Der was Grandson Semmes, to whose
credit he it said, worked nobly and
faithfully lntil the danger was over.
The fire is supposed to have orig
mated in the kitchen from box Of
ashes which were taken from the
house late in the evening and care
lessly set in the corner oftke kitchen
This should be a warning to house
keepers, and We think now is a good
time for some of our enteTprising
young men to organize a Hook and
Ladder company. Who will be
Captain? We propose Mr.. Willie
Chambers.

LETTER FROM o. II BRowNING -Ion.
0. II. Browning, formerly GsRepubican
United States Senator from Illinois, has
written long letter TO Col John S, Coz.
Of the same State, in which he discusses.
very deliberately. the policy Of the Ad-
ministraion. and endorses It in the most
emphatic manner. He also reviews the
action Of Congress, and condemns the
Radicals, denouroing them as untrue to
the true principles OF the Government
When such men as Browning join the
friends of The Constitution there is every
reason tn believe that the time is not dis
tant when Radicalsm will be overcome
and Conservative principles will generally
be adopted by the people of the Union

WThc rapid increase of emigra-

Ireland is producing a result of which
the laborlng population can not com
plain. The wages for farm laborers
have lately reached the highest figure
ever known in Kerry-twelve shil-
lings to fifteen shillings sterling a
week with board, In many parts Of
the county OF Cork the rate is ten
shillings, and as emigration continues
as brisk as ever, labor is likely to
command this price generally. For
twenty years there has not been such
an emigration from the port of
Droghcda as at present.

The SMALLPOX.

DR.. Cosmo G. Logic. Surgeon Major,
Royal Horse Guards, in letter to the
London Evening Mail. dated May s5,
1868. furnishes tie following antidote
and cure for small-pox-a disease which
now prevails to a greater or less extent
throughout the South. He says:
Some time ago. seeing a paper written
by Assistant Surgeon Miles. of the Royal
Artillery, on the efficacy Of the North
American plant called the saracsnia par-
purea, or pitcher plant, in treatment oi
smallpox among the Indians, my col
league (Mr. Agnis) and myself have
given this remedy, which has been i'm
ported into this coudtry by DR.. Miles, a
fair trial, and I am happy to say the
eleven cases 10 our hands have recovered
under its peculiar inhunce.
This remedy consider as a boon to
the public, for this reason 1t is SO easily
managed-any person can make decoc-
ton or infusion Of the root like tea.
An ounce Of the root is sliced, and in-
fused 10 quart Of water, and allowed to
aimmer down to pint, and given in two
tablespoonful doses every four hours,
while the patient is we'll nourished with
beef tea and arrow root. Four Of the
cases in my hospital have been severe
confuent cases ("cOnauent" means
where the head, face, and neck are swol-
len into misshapen mass, and the pus'
tules thickly running into each other. J
They have. throughout the disease. all
been perfectly sensible, have been free
from pain, and have never felt weak.
The effect of this medicine, which have
carefully watched, seemed to arrest the
development Of the pustules. killing. as
it were, the virus from within, thereby
changing the character OF the disease.
and doing away with the cause Of pitting,
(if l may SO express myself to the unin'
itiated) and thus avoiding the necessity
of Inia rubber and gutta-percha applica-
tons. or opening the pustules. In my
opinion, all anticipations of dis6guremen.
may be calmed, if this medicine is given
from the commencement Of the disease.
Before leaving this subject, may
here caution the public that the usefuI
part of the plant is in it's root, as recon-
mended by DR.. Miles. With the usua
kindness Of DR.. Gibson, the Director Gen.
eral, have been supplied with it for the
use of my regiment. So much am i'm
pressed with the efficiency of it in small
pox over the old mode Of treatment. that
/ hope to hear Of it in every country gen
tleman's medicine chest. and before long,
that we shall see no more faces as deserib-
ed by Dickens, like the interior surface OF
sliced mullins. ...r......
