FIRE IN ENAIeRsISBIRG.
Thirty Persons Injured by ;ln Ex.
piOSiOn.

uAREIsBURG, Feb. II. At about seven
o'cloch this evening there was an alarm of a
fire in the cellar of the hardware store of
Anthony King, Third and Market streets.
1t seems tha. a son of Mr.. King had gone
to the cellar to draw some oil, and setting
the lamp down which lio carried, it explod-
cd. The boy ran up stairs and gave the
alarm. People to the number of thirty. five
rushed into the building. Tnc fire depart
mcnt was soon in readiness and sent two or
three streams of water into the cellar In q
few minutes fireman rushed into the house
and announced that the fire had been ex-
tinguished.
just at that time an explosion occurred
in the cellar. The floor was lifted from its
position, and the front and back Of the
building were blown out. Some thirty peo,
pie were in the building at the time OF
course the confusion must be imagined

servant, woman some 40 years of ace

wick. The lamp bursted, covering tho nm.
fortunate woman from head TO foot with oil
which took fire. The terrified servant ali
ahlaze, ran to the bed on which Mrs. Garret
was sleeping, setting it on fire. She also
ran around the room, setting the bureau
cover amt the carpet on fire. From that
she ran into another room, setting the cloth.
EnS there on fire. The blazing hedc otbcs were
thrown out of window, and an attempt
made to catch the woman who ran wildly
all over the house, up stairs. setting every
thing on bre with which she came in con.

In view Of this distressing occurrence. we
would caution persons using coal oil, never

GOV. BROWN AND RECONSTRUCTION
IN GEORGIA.

Gov. Brown, Of Georgia, was one OF the
first to see through the delusve, swindling
promises held out to the South to draw and
keep the State 10 the Rebellion, and is now
one of the clearest in exposing the like
swindling pretenscs by which the rcconstruc-
ton of the State is sought to be delayed by
truthlcss demagogues and renegade Repub-
licans. He says:
"The people North have been told lately
that the acts of Congress establish negro
supremacy and white subordination in the
South. The charge is ,talso. 1t WAS the per-
rerse oJstinacy Of the ichito race refusing TO
take control that gare the negroes poaoer IN he
Lonreation, There is ii, QUO white majority
in Georyia. With this majority, and the
boasted superiority of the race IN intel
)ect. education, experience, and wealth, 1t
ia a {ilel on the qehito men TO aay that negroes
cg,, rule intellect and capital, and control
numbers everywhere. The charge that Gen.
Pope gcrrymandered the State to give nc.
rroes power is false. He adopted the dis.
tricts as left by the johnson Convention,
without alteration. With absolute power
to set aside every officer in Georgia, and fill
their places with Test Oath men, not one in
fifty had been disturbed, and not one who
did not obstruct Reconstruction. Not a
single citizen Of Georgia has been tried by
military commission, when Pope had power
to set aside the courts to try every officer by
commission. A majority of the thinking
men in Georgia would. have preferred hi,
rule for years to the chances of better. Tht
press has misrepresented him. History vii
do him justice, Democratic triumphs vii
not relieve US"

aOUTHERN CROPS.

Reports from Memphis of the crops in the sur.
rounding country represent cotton to be suffering
under continued rains, from boil rot and worm.
i'm many counties in North Mississippi the crop
Tln not yield more than one-half.
The Baton Rouge Advocate OF the l1th says
Cotton picking is progressing at rapid rate on
lne plantations near the river. On the uplands
The prevalence Of sickness among the hands has
prevented close picking and the fields are white
with open cotton. Should heavy rains ensue, a
large proportion OF this open cotton will be lost"
The Sugar Planter of the 18th says The
weather is glorious, magnificent, and all the other
Pdjectives In the vocabulary. We couldn't have
stbetter If we wanted 1t. Cotton picking lie going
Dn rapidly, and idle freedmen are few and far be-
tween on the public thoroughfares. But Just
whisper meeting" anywhere, and like Rode
dck's men at a blast Of his bugle horn, they
spring up from all directions"
The Marksville Register of the 9th says: :" We
are sorry to hear from vasous parts Of the parish
chat the caterpiilars are in the cotton several
Slantatons. The crops are seriously injured.
The weather for the last ten days has not been
favorable for the planting interest. Planters are
shaking strenuous exertions for an early shipment
of portion Of the crop. We notice, almost
sally, wagons loaded with cotton on their way to
che river.n
The Clifton Na.) Democrat Of the 18th says
. This has been gloriors week for the planter.
The weather has been fair, dry and warm, Just
suited to the opening of the boil. The deserted
appearance Of our places Of business show that
are actively engaged In picking. New cotton
comes in slowly, attributable to this fact. OF
the worm we hear many and contradictory re-
ports. On some plantations they have done con-
siderable injury, while on others they so far have
been quite harmless"
