The small engines of the Roughs and Arabs
are so much ont of repair that they could not
be brought into requisition at the fire last
night. Had they been in good repair, less
damage would have been done; and they
would be in good order if the council could
be induced to believe that stingness is not
economy.

The frcmen are so angry with the action
Of the council that they have lost much of the
enthusiasm which has heretofore distinguished
them, and which made them the pride of our
city. The Rough and Ready company is
willing to sell its apparatus to the city, if the
other companies will do the same, so that a
chief may be appointed and some sort of or
der be brought out of the chaos that now pre-
walls. We suggest to the council that a COM
mittec should be raised to look into this mat
ter and report plan of organization.

CONFEDERATION THIS MORNING
Destruction OF vslunhIe Property.


An alarm of fire this morning, given at
about three O'clock, startled our citizens from
their slumbers. In short time after the
first cry was heard all the lower part of the
city was illuminated with lurid glare, and
soon the buildings occupied by Michael Bam-
brick Andrew Cain, Patrick Fitzgerald,
Sternheimer & Marx, A. Signiago and Chic,
were enveloped in flames. The fire compan-
les were all promptly on hand but the flames
had obtained terrible Roadway, and soon the
fraii structures were heap Of rubbish.
Neither Bambricll nor Cain had any in
surance, and they are left without property
and almost pennlcss The loss of each will
foot up from $4,000 to $4,000, Fitzgerald
Sterhheimer & Marx and Signiago were more
fortunate than their neighbors, for although
their losses are heavy, Fitzgerald losing even
the clothes of his family and property valued
at about $4,000, Sternheimcr & Marx prop
erty valued at some $4,000 and Signiago
property amounting to $4,000, they were all
insured. Below we give the insurance;

SHALL pox-A SUGGESTION TO THE COUNCIL

We call the attention Of citizens to the
"small pox' advertisement in another column
and hope it will receive the attention its inn
portance demands. There is no use, it is nos
wise, TO disguise the fact, that this dreadful
disease is in our midst and is spreading out
its balcful arms. We have been informed by
one Of the aldermen, who put himself to some
trouble to ascertain the fact, that there is al
ready some twelve or fifteen cases among the
blacks, and few cases among the whites.
Taken in time tho Roadway of the disease
may be checked, but permitted to run its
course it will become a terrible scourgc. In
this connection, we call attention to the fact
that we have no pest house in the ci,y-no
place to which the smallpox sick can be con-
veyed, and we suggest thas special meeting
Of the city council be held tomorrow night
to take this matter into consideration.

The first number of . periodical with the |

it is entitled to patronage not merely from
geographical considerations, but because of its
own intrinsic merits, There is an evident
opening for such fnagazine-there is album

it second to none, in a literary point OF view;
and there must be Ebcrality enough to place 1t
