THREE BUILDINGS CON-
SUMED !!
One Man Supposed to
have Perished in
the Flames!

AT about 2 o'clock thi,
morning a fire broke out i'll g
Paint Shop belonging to II,
G.. Davis, on First street, aud
totally consumed it, and Mrs
Lehman's Saloon, and a Coop
er Shop on the corner east o.
Wallace's Livery. Up to thi,
writing, 8 o'clock, Mr.. Davis
has not made his appearance
and it Is coujrctured that he
persisted in the flames, a. Ii,
usually slept in his shop. w,
sincerely hope that our fear,
may subside before We go t,
press We eau learn of onl,
one Insurance, and that Is on
Mrs. Lehman's Saloon, 5 500,
in the Hartford. Every effor,
was made TO save the burning
buildings but to no purpose
and but for the, almost, super
human efforts of our citizens
the whole block upon which
the Carter House stands must
have been CONSUMED. Had il
been windy night. and had
1T not been for the snow lying
on the roofs of buildings, not
only the whole block where
the fire occurred but Over
mans bl ok, and the largest
business portion of the city
must have been a smoulderine
mass of ruins.
1t is burning shame that there Il
no Fire Company organized I'm tn,
city, and no engine-not even I
Babcock Fire ExtiDguisher. A few
men worked like dray horses, aud ,
good many looked on, apparently I'M
concerned, or unwilling to have 8,
nice a fra put out. Two hooks ant
one small ladder were all the mer
had to fight the devouring elemen
with. Will we take warming ant
organize a Fire Company and get al
Engine, or will we wait until aftel
our city lies i'm ruins.
LATER. - Since the above WA
written, Mr.. Davies has put in al
appearance. He was at his hous,
asleep, and was awakened to see til,
hard work of years swept away by
the "besom OF destruction"
The Cooper shop belonged to vii
liam Barker, who will severity feel hi
loss. The heaviest loss falls on Mr.
Davies, and he deserves the sympa
thy, and aid of our citizens. Mr.
Davies is n hard working, homes
man, and was battling nobly agains
the hard times. aud now in few
moments, TO have his financial pros
poets. 80 entiIely blasted, Is truly
sorrowful portion. Mrs. Lehman
saved nearly all her furniture. II
w. VanSickle had new buggy Ia
the paint shop, which was burnt, ais,
a pair OF new sleighs belonging (,
Geo. Phllpot.
The loss will foot up somewher,
between $1,000. and $4,000.
There seems but little doubt that II
WAS the work OF all iacendiary.- -

THE I Is AZ

During the darkest days Of the war
in the national trial year Of 1862, some
grim Secession wag, in Kentucky, We
believe, drew up the schedule of a sale,
to which be called tho attention Of
rising young Republics, offering for
their purchase, at auction, the American
Eagle, the Star Spaugled Banner, God
dess of Liberty, Hail Columbia," etc.
Instead of d~isposiug Of, we determined
to preserve, at whatever cost Of blood
and treasure, these smblems Of liberty,
and what wal and is more precious still,
the institutions Of the government
which they symbolize. With the sue
cessful close Of the war for union and
freedom, our national insignia became
than aver in the eyes and to the
Of loyal Americans and freedom
people throughout the world.
Notwithstanding the evil prophesyings
of danger to ourselves from u victori-
Gus armies, We disbanded them, and
sold the greater portion Of our munitions
of wal and im%provised naval vessels.
The Government is now desirous Of
getting rid Of more Of our surplus IRON
clads, and the authorities at Washing
ton are ready to sell them to the highest
bidders. Strange to say, a number Of
the struggling Republics Of South
America are competitors for our idle and
now useless monitors. The grim jssting
Of the rebel above referred to has be-
come earnest, but with what a change
Instead Of selling our national emblems
to rising Republics, We offer them for
q consideration some Of the means
by which we rendered them moro en-
during. While the nations Of the
Old World are grooming beneath the cost
of their immense armies and n%avies, the
great and free Republic Of the West is
still further curtailing her defensive
means, and reducing the incidental sx-
peuditures. We have proved to the
world that we, too, are a great mill
tary power. Having conquersda genu-
ine peace we can afford to dispense
with all the costly paraphernalis Of
war, aud with the proceeds of the
dsath.dealing engines the Admins
~tratisn will probably pay q portion Of
the debt incurred by the construction OF
the now no longer needed monitors.
Actions speak louder than words, and
these sales of iron-clads are convincing
proof that the Republic is at peace"

Mo-. RIot IN CuarIeston.

CaAaLIsros, July 27.-A negro riot,
which Of one time threatened to be
serious in its consequences, occurred
last night on the occasion ofthe depart.
DIRE Of the Base Ball Club for Savannah.
The club was accompanied by a brass
band composed of colored men, who
were said to be Democrats. AS the
club was leaving in procession for the
Savannah boat they were attacked with
sticks, stones aud brickbats by q mob
of several hundred men. Several shots
were fred by both sides. Mayor Pills
bury was powerless to quoll the mob
and was compelled to call on Major
Oglesby for the assistance Of troops.
The club was then escorted 10 the boat
between ~platoons ofthe Eighth Infantry,
followed by a crowd Of yelling and
Infatuated negroes, throwing stones,
compelling the soldiers to face about
and threaten to FIRE. Several persons
we're wounded, mostly members Of the
colored band.

State Fair, the Orleans Hotel charged
us three dollars for a nights lodging
the principal attractions in the room
being fifty thousand mosquitoes and the
air sitting with gas from leaky

settled the bill, and We now feel con-
WINGED Of it, that We were charged two

one a CHASTITY blue color, and the other a

The blue one shot over the postofics to

where it knoked a man out Of his chair
and badly scared three others; the red
one dartsd around in all directions,
seeming TO be in several places at the

out Of their wits, on seeing the teacher
euveloped in a dense cloud Of smoke aud

DEMOCRATIC VISITORS. = Hon. Riley
Armstrong, Of the DEVILS Gate Con
gressional District, State ofNeyada, and
Lioutenant-G Governor Mennard, (col-
ored) of Louisiana, passed through
Gold Hill yesterday on their way to
Horntown. They rode side by side, and
were the very persoui6es,iou Of modern,
reconstructed Democracy. Their ar
rival at so early a day, and in such close
communion, made the Democrats stare
with wonder and establishment, and
caused some considerable gossip in that
party as to I" what it all meant and
whether or no Riley's companion wasn't
the I" coming man." instead of the irre-
pressible Chiusman. We expect to hear
OF q I" strike in the Democratic camp,
and that Riley will be court-martialed
for riding in a carriage with a "nigger."
1t would DO just like the Democratic
party.

In the month Of August, 1868, the
Freuch ship Adelina Eliza quilted Bor-
deau1 for Hongkong. A month after.
ward she was spoken Of Cape of Good
Hope. She was never heard OF again
until, 9 few days since, her history and
the history Of all her crew became pub
lie. A typhoou in the Indian Ocean
threw her out Of her course, dismasted
her, broke her rudder, and tossed her
towards Ocsanica. Bad weather lasted
80 days, and when fair weather returned
she struck on q coral reef, aud the ex-
haustsd crew were scarcely able to take
refuge in boats.
Il was q moouless, starless night when
this accident occurred. They roWed
wildly, and thanked God when the
breaking day showed them q harbor,
