Yesterday evening about 6 O'Clock, or a
little past, the alarm of fire again caused
quite an excitement among our people,
and the street in front of Ristine & Mays
furniture store, where the fire broke out,
was soon thronged with idle spectators as
well as busy firemen. The fire companies
all turned out in good time aud did good
| and effective service. The Reliance was
the first on the ground, If we have been
correctly informed, and was the first to get
water, after which some of the colored
companies followed suit; but the pipemen
of Fountain Fire Co., No. l, or the steamer,
were the first to make an entrance in the
building. The cool daring of Messrs.
Schenk and Benziger has often been
matter of comment, and they certainly adj
ded much to their reputation of good fire.
men last night. The 81. C.Luttrell'
worked admirably last night, and when,
in good working condition she is hard to
be surpassed, and so the fire soon had to.
succumb under the combined efforts of the
different machines. The time it took to
get every thing in working order, before
any water was brought to bear upon the
fire, proved again that the fire depart
ment needs a more thorough organ
ization. No Drawer firemen can be
found than those comprising the
different companies, but they all need
more systematic training to enhance their
effectiveness.
AS to the fire, the proprietors of the es-
Enlistment say they have not the least
idea as to its origin, as no one has been in
the basement, where it originated, with
fire. It seems, however that it-caught in
bed of shucks near the front, and as there
were gratings across the pavement to admit
lightlinto the basement, it is probable, that
some one in passing, threw, accidentally, a
lighted cigar, or perhaps match, through
the grating into this pile of shucks. This
seemed to be the general opinion of all
who had taken any interestin discovering
its origin, and for the want of any better
The loss sustained by Messrs Ristine &
May has not, as yet, been ascertained,
There was quite lot of new furniture in
the basement, which, of course, was totally
destroyed. The joists of the first floor were
all burned about half through. Although
the fire did not break through the first
floor, yet the furniture is considerably
damaged from the heat and the water
thrown in by some of the engines Their
stock is insured to the amount of 81 ,OOO in
two different. companies, and ,aas matter of
course, they will not allow anything to be
disturbed until the agents of the insurance
companies have thoroughly examined
their stock and ascertained the loss sus-
tanned. f..i
One more word of comment to the brave
boys of the fire department, for to their
noble exertions is certainly due that the
whole block is not in ruins.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: You seem to have
been troubled good deal of late by cores
pondents from Jefferson county. Your
benevolent hearts have been appealed to
in behalf of the interests of the occupants
and managers of our Poor House, by one
correspondent; another bewails the un-
happy spiritual condition of the members
our town of cambridge, and calls upon
you to mourn with him because thereof !;
another discusses the litigating propensity
of our people, and gives celebrity to a GER
tain dog suit, in which minister of the
gospel and an ex-Judge figure as parties,
and lastly one AlonZo Dante comes along,
who with facile pen and language terse,
writes down great many things about US,
and narrates the result of our dog suit, to
boot. .....- -. ...-.-..-'....
Now comes another Richmond in the
field. Methinks this array of special cor
respondents is enough to damp the ardor
and daunt the hearts of q less courageous
corps of newspaper managers.
Well, l sat down to write you about the
excellent discourse which your esteemed
fellow townsman, Col. c.. w. Charlton,
delivered to the farmers of our county on
last Tuesday. It had been announced that
he would, on that day, deliver an address
upon the subject of the Centennial, &C.,
but we found that mistake had been
made, for, instead of making q forid
spread-eagle fourth of July speech. he
treated the farmers to plain, practical,
sensible talk upon farms and farming, Civ
ing to them much wholesome advice and
admonition, and many words of cheer and
encouragement. 4rf ~
; He made comparison of our East Ten
nessee with other sections of the Union,
and showed our many advantages, demon.
strated the vast undeveloped capabilities of
our soil if properly titled; gave some sem
sible suggestions as to the mode of farm
ing that should be pursued in order to
make it profitable, dwelt upon the honor
ableness of the vocation, and urged upon
the fathers of the rising generation to in
still into the minds of their children a sem
timent of pride in the calling and condi-
ton of farmers. . .fs - .-ae
His expressions of disapprobation of and
contempt for the many young men who
are leaving the farm and aspiring (?) to
the positions of clerks, merchants, physi.
clans, and lawyers, were highly apprecia-
ted by all. / am glad to see it announced
that he intends to make speeches of that
character in every county. His talks are
certainly calculated to do much good, and 1
advise the farmers to turn out and give
him hearing wherever he goes.
Yours, &C., a-rf LrG RECTUS
