The DAY OF IMMIaRATIoN.-For
some days our local and Virginia news
columns have contained frequent notices of
the arrival of immigrants in the state
from various quarters. We chronicle more
arrivals in this neighborhood to-day. In
conversation with Governor Kemper this
week gentleman of this city was assured
by him that there was reliable ground for
the statement that the tide was setting to-
ward our shores from Europe and
from the North and West, and men
of means and character and indus
try and worth were surely coming, to cast
their lot among us. The Senate on We'd
nesday passed the bill providing for COM
mission of two Englishmen and one Vir.
gi1ian to visit England in this interest.
There seems little doubt of the happy
results very speedily to arrive to our state
from this source. We suggest to contem-
poraries, in this connection, to cease pratt
ing about "Virginianism," and not create
the impression among these people that we
think ourselves better than all the world.

ALARMS OF FIRE.-The alarm of fire
sounded from box 6, about o'clock Sun
day morning, was caused by the partial
burning of the floor in the grocery store OF
J. B. Kidd, on Broad street, near Eighth
street. The fire originated from heated
ashes which had been left on the floor.
Damage trifng.
The alarm Of fire yesterday, sounded
from box 10, about half-past o'clock,
was caused by the partial burning Of the
roof OF the. carpenter shop of f. III.
Baughan, situated on Twelfth street, next
to st. James Hotel, which, but for the
prompt exertions on the part of the
proprietors Of the hotel, and
one Of his clerks, Mr.. B. M. Quarles,
might have resulted in a vast confagra-
ton. These gentlemen with buckets of
water soon succeeded in extinguishing the
flames. Damage slight. The box from
which this last alarm was sounded had to be
broken open yesterday in order to be put
to work. because the key to it was left in
an office which closes on the Sabbath. We
would suggest that it be placed in one of
the hotels convenient, in order that it
may be gotten at without difficulty. The
keys to all fre-alarm boxes should be
placed, as far as possible, in public houses
which are accessible both day and night.
