Of Mr. JonN KAUrMANN, in Walhalla, was
discovered to be on fire. The alarm was at

Place, but the fire had made so much head
way that all efforts to save the lumber proved
fut;lc. The loss will rot exceed one hundred
and fifty dollars.
This accident gave to the Walhalla Fire
Company an opportunity to test their new

The Blue Ridge Railroad.

Gov. Scott has returned to the capital, and
brings the gratifying intelligence that arrange.
mcnts have been perfected in New York for
pushing rapidly forward the work OH tho
Blue Ridge Railroad. Col. Thomas Stccrs--
well known throughout the South as an cxpc-
rcnced and thorough railroad man--will see
to it that his portion of the contract is com
plctcd Mt the earliest moment IIo for
Cincinnati and the great West.
We clip the above from the Phonic We
have heard, heretofore, some intimations that
such was the object of the visit of Governor
ScoTr to the North, and that it would proba-
bly, prove successful. We hope the future
will verify tho hopes Of the friends Of the
road 1t is the great enterprise of the day
to South Carolina, and its completion would
prove the crowning success of tho present adj.
ministration, merging all errors into the
grand good achieved thereby. TO General
HARRISON, too, who gave it life after the
war and nurscd it in weakness, It's completion
would prove an honor as enduring us the
everlasting hills. We rejoice. even in the
little hope contained in the above statement,
though disappointment may be tho fruit

as obtained.

interviewing

Has become ono Of the pet measures Of
Northern journalism. At this day, no dis
tiugushed Southern leader Of by gone days
can pass Mason & Dixon's line, than he gets
no rest, until interviewed by some roaming
correspondent of partisan journal. What
he docs not say, the fact of talk with him,
gives opportunity to say for him. In some
cases Mr.. Correspondent names his inkstand
an honorable, and asks and answers questions
to suit the purposes of his journal. The
magnitude Of this new idea exhibits one OF
the plans for the campaign of 1872. These
real and ianccd interviews are to be kept be-
fore tic people of the North, and used in
radical speeches to fire the dying spirit Of the
party. A few reports of speeches by South
crn men to their own people will ho added to
keep up the excitement of Northern hatred
and preserve the party in power The pub
lie good is a secondary consideration to party
success. What in reality signify these inter
views? Mr.. TooMBs is but man, SO is Mr..
DAVIS; and yet the words of the latter to
people of Atlanta are blnzoncd throughout
the North to provc(?) tha. tho war spirit Of
our people is still alive and ready to break
out at any moment. Apart from it's use for
q purpose, every journal in the North. would
laugh at the idea of another war being wagcd
by the Southern people. There could be no
hope but death and utter ruin, both of which
will come soon enough without war We do
not believe these things can affect much
good either way, though, perhaps, our people
would do well at present to act upon the old
provclb, "thot a still tongue makes a wise
head"

The Weather

Is, perhaps, an exception to anything here
toiorc remembered in the world Of clouds
and sunshine. Though almost daily heavy
rains attended with winds visit us, yet they
seem to have no pcrccptibe effect in cooling
the atmosphere Whether clear, cloudy or
raining the temperature is orprossivcly hot
THIS would be gratifying to the farmer, could
he have an opportunity to clean his crop of
the foulncss of grasses and weeds, but these
enemies are making great Roadway while the
ground is too wet for cultivation The pros
pcct is, however, in the main favorable to
corn, of which we expect an abundant yield.
Wheat proved poor; oats arc fair; gardens
very fno If, after so much wet, VIC should
suffer summer drought, our crops would be
shortened very much. We hope for favorable
seasons during the summer, and an abundant
harvest in the fall.

THE FAKIR OF VIsHNU.-On account of the
inclemency of the weather, the audience at Mu-
sic Hall, on Saturday evening, was quite small,
as might reasonably have been expected.
Through some misunderstanding in regard to
the character of the license, and on an intima-
tion from the Attorney General that the meth
cd hitherto adopted by the Fakir in the distri-
button of his gifts might conflict with the law
of the State, no presents were distributed. The
performance, however, was more than usually
attractive, several new and wonderful expert
ments being introduced. The instantaneous
growth of flowers and the marvellous hat trick
were specially noticeable. In this connection,
we trust that the Fakir will produce the start
ling sensation of the Scarlet Spirit at an early
day. 1t would prove the greatest possible at
traction for Christmas performance. A grand
matinee will be given this afternoon at three
o'clock. These performances will be interest
ing alike to young and old. On the subject Of
presents we refer our readers to the announce
ment of the Fakir, to be found elsewhere.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 23.-The Miners Jour-

trade has been eminently unsatisfactory, that
no agreement has yet been reached although
preliminary meetings of the two interests have
been held for discussion during the past week,
at which a commendable spirit of mutual for
bearance was manifested. An adherence to the
basis last in force in that region, which was
1918, with 1928 as minimum, is counselled,
and this will probably prevail, though whether
the agreement will be broken as it was during
last season, remains to be seem The total re-
ceipts for the year will exceed those of last
year by from 200, 600 to 100000 tons The sup
ply of anthracite will be about half a million

CHANGE OF MAns.-It was expected by our

been made by Mr. Cheney, the Assistant Postal
Agent for New England, for the mails from
Boston and the South for Portland, and all in
termediate places between Portland and Boston
TO be brought from the latter city In the 7.3o A
M train. We are informed, from good author-
ity, that the reason this change has not been
made Is the opposition of the Eastern Railroad
company to run the postal car on that train.
AS our Representative to Congress is now at
home it is to be hoped that the merchants and
Others Of this city who are interested in this
matter, will bring the subject to his notice. As
at present arranged the Boston papers are

GEORGIA.

AUGUSTA, Dec. 23.-During the past two
days the directors of the Georgia and represen-
tatives of the Georgia Central Railroads have
been comforting here. The cause of the confer
ence is that the Pennsylvania Central is en-
deavoring to lease the lines leading from At
lanta to Selm, in which the Georgia and Georgia
Central are both largely interested. The Penn
sylvania Central is said to have made propo-
sal to the Georgia Central Railroad towards
getting its consent towards the lease. The
Georgia Central is now endeavoring to prevent
any arrangement of this kind, and offers other
terms to the Georgia Railroad. 1t is believed
that the terms will be accepted and the Penn
sylvania Central fail to get control of the lines
