FRE-There was an alarm Of Ere last evening,
which brought out the engines. Some little con-
sternation was felt and the fremen rushed to and
fro in admired confusion, but the panic was only
temporary, as the alarm proved to be unfounded,
and the machines were soon rehoused.
WE GILL the attention Of those interested to the
extensive sale Of furniture taking place at the

household articles should attend and secure bar

WE UNDERSTAND that q new reconstruction peti
lion has been recently sent to Washington from
this city. It has emanated from tho freedmen
and colored citizens and claims to be the voice Of
the community. New rulers are demanded, and q
general change in the present programme made
out. This will, no doubt, tickle the palate Of the
Radical leaders North, and will be greeted as the
index Of Southern loyalists' opinions It is useless
to comment upon these petitions or endeayor to
prove that they do not represent the sentiments
Of the public. They are gilded pills to Messrs.
SUMNER Co., and their truthfulness is never

of this petition have been very retioent, and little
is known beyond the fact that such q paper has
been circulated among us, and has been sent TO
the grand high priests at Washington. Their ac-
tion and the names Of the prime movers are at
present unknown, and we await further develop
ments from the seat of government, before we can
post the community in the matter.
PRospER1TY.-We have SO often alluded to the
street cars that the subject is nearly hackneyed and
except for the favor they receive from the connu-
nifty we would hesitate referring to their status
Their good name, once established, has stuck TO
them, and they have now become prominent fea-
ture in the body poliic The increased travel
demanded increased accommodations, and the
Company, wishing to keep pace with the public,
have recently furnished several additional cars
These have been long wanted, and their advent
will createa great relief to the travellers who have
frequently been obliged to take standing room if
they wished to secure passage The Rutledge
street cars have often taken forty passengers at
load but this of ~ {o,r, o,a
