Correspondence of the Press.l
AUGUSTA, JAN II, 1867.
A communication from Augusta in the Ar
gus, which appears to be written by one who
claims great familiarity with the inside opera
tons of the Republican party, among other
statements not altogether reliable, alleges that
Hon. William P. Frye was supported by the
Conservative portion of the party, at the eau
Gus of last week, for the nomination of Attor-
ney General No member of the party or
Legislature felt that influence, nor did it even
remotely enter into the contest between Mes
srs. Frye and Shepley. Both of the Honorable
gentlemen were acceptable to the party, as far
as relates to their individual opinions on the
political question of the day; and on that
question there was no division or talk. Mr.
Frye took occasion to-day, in the House,
to refer to the matter On the question Of refer
ence of that part of the Governors message
which relates to the Constitutional amend
ment, to the Committee on Federal Relations
While he deprecated immediate action, he said
that he was much like Thad. Stevens, who
stated that during the last session of Congress,
he might have been too conservative, but now
he was radical" He entirely repudiates the
idea of conservatism-which statements will
be considered entirely unnecessary where he
is best known.
General Shepley is cited by the same au-
thority as the Radical candidate. His asso-
ciates in the western counties of the State con-
sidered him sufficiently right and deserving to
give him unanimous support, and his Radi-
hor fo
ton. They united with his numerous friends
in other sections, feeling that the legal expert
n ce of later years would bring corresponding
honor and value to an Office which he had re-
fused in his earlier life. He would have been
elected had not his friends been sure that his
high legal character and political standing were
sufficient guarantees of his nomination. Other
parties were steadily at work for their candi-
dates and undue Importance was attached to
the words II am not candidate" 1t served
as qGietus on active work which is essential
for success in closely contested nomination.
Other combinations peculiar to legislative eau
cuses, tor which Mr.. Shepley is not response
BILE, aided in the nomination of Mr.. Frye.
1t is pleasantly over, and the Republican
party cordially acquiesce in the choice Of the
convention, bnt not without settled convic-
ton ON the part Of all the members of the
Legislature, that the vote, or the loss of
nomination does not in any way ind cate the
unpopularity, or a lack of confidence in the
high character or political opinions of General
Shepley by the Legislature of 1857. He
held in the highest estimation, and the Radi-
calism of which the Argus speaks, which it

SINGULAR RoBBERY.-A gentleman living
in the suburbs of the city, on Christmas, invi-
ted family gathering, from grandpapas down.
to meet at his house and dine. The "gude
wife" had made all things ready, the table was
set, at the head of which, reclined his majesty
the turkey. Mrs. - was busy as bee, fit
ting from one room to another, putting the
last finishing touches to the table arrangements.
The kitchen being very warm, the outer door
had been left open and the savory odols from
within attracted the attention of Nero, "a large
Newfoundland dog who, watching his chance,
walked boldly into the dining room and seized
the turkey by "the part that went over the
fence last" just as the lady came out of the
cupboard, and who, seeing the nicely Drowned
bird going out OF the room ahead of the dog,
in much the same position as the bowsprit to
ship, instantly gave chase with the broom,
continuing the pursuit OF the dog and the fowl
around the yard, into the woodhouse by one
door and out at another, shouting at the top of
her voice-"let go, you rascal" But still the
turkey weuld keep just SO far ahead of the
dog, who also kept out of the reach of the
broomstick, all parties going at high rate of
SPeeu, uhtli lne iauy Sot ialIly exhausted, and
Nero escaped with his prize. The discounted
hostess re-entered the house, looking anything
but mild and lovely" and announced to the
guests the sad loss of the favorite dish-and
great was the indignation thereat-but at last
sense of the righteousness of the affair be-
came apparent, and while they feasted upon
plum pudding and pies, many were the jokes
and great was the LAUGHTER The comnanv
separated at the usual time, after one of the
most pleasant reunions it was ever their good
fortune to enjoy. PIP.

Mr.. X. 5. Sanborn, of Wisconsin, exhibited
few weeks since, before the Technological In
stitute, an invention recently patented by him
for improving the fire-proof quality of safes 1t
consists in the adjustment of water vessels in
side the safe, next to the walls, in such way
that, when heated, valves are opened by the
steam which after bathing the heated walls es-
capeS through the cracks about the door, car
rying off the caloric and keeping down the tenn
perature Of the whole interior to near the boil
ing point, thus preserving the contents of the
safe for any desirable length of time At a test
made in Hadleys brick-yard, in Somerville,
two weeks ago, a safe with this improvement
pres erved its contents entirely uninjured. and
with but a slight draft upon its capacity,
through tire that completely destroyed the
contents of similar safe withoutit. Another
experiment. was tried at the same place, on Fri
day last, with still more remarkable results
Two safes of similar make and size were used
one with walls just half as thick as those of the
other Into the safe with the thin walls were
placed water vessels, according to Sanborn's
plan, OF such dimensions that with the addi-
ton thus made the walls of the two safes were
OF equal thickness. Books and papers were
put into each. At IL o'clock, A. M fire
was made about them, ofdry pine wood, which
was kept up through the day. About o'clock
black smoke issued from the safe that had not
the Improvement in it, showing that, even
then, the interior was on fire. Only steam
came ont around the door of the other Ats
LIZ Z. M. the fire was withdrawn The safes
continued nearly red hot two hours longer
ATT they were cooled, and half an hour later
they were opened The contents of the thick
wall safe were burnt to ashes. The contents of
the SanDorn safe, although the walls contain
ed out q IL inches of cement filing, were a,
sound and fresh as when put in, and the large
proportion of the water still remaining showed
thatit would have withstood the FIRE many
hours longer. This experiment proved TO the
gentlemen who witnessed it that safe with
Mr: San6orn's Improvement will resist the ef-
fects OF fire at least three times as long as anv
other safe with the same thickness Of walls
reckoning as part of the walls in the Sanborn
safe the space which the water vessels occunv.
and that this invention can be so applied as to
render safe fire proof for any length of time
The philosophical points of this new invention
which give it its great value lie in the fact that
nothing bathed in unconfned steam can be
heated much above the boiling point, and the
water vessels, like everything else in the safes
being thus protected, are little exposed to heat
and the evaporation proceeds SO slowly that
the water can be made to last as long as may
De desired. We understand this safe will soon
De offered to the public for sale.
