RICE Superintendent for this section of the South
orn Express Company, will retire from this posi-
tion on the lst of February. Mr.. RICE has bee1
among us for some two years, and has gained
host OF friends in this city, both by his uniform
geutlemanlv conduct and by tao signal efdcienc.
and ability he has displayed in all matters con
nected with the duties Of his POSITION and tho Ex
press business in general.
PARADISE Losr.-The proprietors OF these lab
]eaux, hattered by the continued attention DC
slowed upon their performance, have decided tt
remain III our city another week, in order to allow
I'll a chance to sec this work of art. The crowded
houscs that were to be scon at the hall every night
last week are astrong proof That the fabeaux have
been appreciated, both as q work of art and as Q
Scrptural illustration Paradise is still as lovely
as ever; Satan as dcmoLacsl while the angels lool
heavenly. AL who have heard or read OF the fall
of ma; and OF angels, and who have not yet visited
the panorama, should so at once, and they vii
not only enjoy themselves. but have their memories
of Scripture subjects refreshed.
Mayors CouEr, January 2G.--A sailor who was
drunk and interfering with the police, and gratu.
itously informing him that on rainy night his
star shouldn't be out, but that he ought to put ii
under his coat, was fred $40.

en- his ssknowlcdge box" was also fined SO.

walk in the wet, aud thereby preventing the rain

the street, were fined s5 each, tor obstructng a

Bay street, was fined SO.
GENERAL DAVIS TnLsoS, who has for some time
been in the command Of the State of Georgia, and
Assistant Commissioner Of the Ereedmon's B!l-
rcau, recently rendered his resignation. This Was
accepted by the War Department, and Colonel c.
C. SEBLEY, who was the Post Commander at Sa-
1annaL, appointed to Gil tho vacancy. The Gcor-
gia papers arc unanimous in rcgrettinS tho rosiG-
nation Of General T1LLsoS, as hc has made hlm-
self deseryedly popular by strict attention TO his
duty, and courteous regard for the tights aud
interests of both tho planters and freedmen. His
successor, Colonel SEnIEY, has won the respect
and esteem Of the citizens OF Savannah. by the cx-
celcnt and efficient discipline that he enforced
among Til, troops under his command, and it is
the impression that bo is qualified in every re-
spect to Ell the onerous position just vacated.
SUNDAY scuoor. CELEDRAr1oN.-Tho regular
monthly celebration cf the Sunday School connect-
ed with tho Second Presbyterian Church, was held
Yesterday afternoon. This school is one of the
largest in the city, and the Superintendent and
Pastor ll.e~ always taken the deepest interest in
it. This has borne its fruits, and the scholars at
tend promptly, and the school is conducted with
an earnestness, on the part of I'LL concerilod that
is very pleasing. The exercises were conducted as
usual accompanied by singing and prayer; after
which, addresses were mado by Alr. i. %. SELL
and the Pastor, Rev. DR.. SMYrnE. The children
appeared to enter into the spirit of the OCCASION,
and their voices were almost as one when they sung
the sweet songs of Zion. These Sabbath School re-
unions arc both pleasing and instructive, as they
show that the interest in sacred subjects has not
li1niaishcd cspec, ally among the little Ones who
should store their minds with these thoughts
while young.
NEGRO M1GRATIoN.-For two months past o
largo number of the colored farm-hands OF the
State have left tho middle and upper districts, and
have gone in large numbers to the South and
Southwest. They have gone 70 al sections Of tho
Southern country-AIississppi, Louisiana, Arkan-
sas, Texas, and Florida. This last State appears
to be the favoritc, and some five thousand to six
thousand ut least have passed through this city,
bound in that direction. The steamer Dictator, OF
the Florida line has boon q favoritc boat with
them, and has probably taken from three thousand
to four housaud. On Saturday last the steam
ship Adele left this city for Ga weston, Texas, har
ING on board some thrce hundred to four hundred.
The number that have left the upper country III
wagons, it is difficult to estimate, but wo have
heard the total number that have left put down at
twenty-five thousand.
FIREs.-About half past eight on Saturday even
ing the kitchen chimney Of Mrs. spADY's hou c. in
Mazycl street, near Archdale, caught on fire, but
was extinguishcd withoutresort to tho engines.
: At half-past one on the same night the alarm
was sounded, and the residence of NIr. PATRICK
CLEAny, corner of Hutledgo and Mount streets,
was discovered to be on fire. THO engines were
promptly the spot, but, i'll consequence OF the
want of water, the efforts made to save the pro-
perty were unavailing, and the house was entirely
consumed Mr.. CLEAEY and family barely sue
ceeded in ncscaping-thcir furniture and some s6N'
in grccnbacis, being total loss. Somo few things
we're saved, hut the fire had made such headway
