CAUTION! TAKE HEIDI!

A fire occurred at Meridian, Miss.
on the 10th inst. Loss $200.000.-
A Meridian correspondent states
that good Steam Fire Engine
might have stopped the fire where
it began.
Just so! That is what Alexand-
ria wants-a good Steam Fire En-
CINE to extinguish fire where it
begins, not to let fire burn out to
the end, or not necessary for five or
six houses to be destroyed by the ig-
milton of one.
Hurry up that Steam Fire Engine!
Hurry up! and procure a good one!!

A GALA DAY.
FgREMEN's DAY in ALEXANDRIA.
A RUNNING ACCOUNT OF THE PARADE,
INCIDENTS, ETC.

The Anniversary Parade of the
matchless Fire Department of Alex
andria on yesterday, was an event
anticipated by our entire population
with nm unusual degree of eagerness
and pleasure. The date, 26th OF
April, is the anniversary of the or
ganization of the Department by the
con solidation of the two companies
of our Town, the Pacific Fire Com.
pany and the Stonewall Hook and
Ladder Company, and none of our
citizens but will cheerfully bear tes'
timony that these two companies
have no superiors in the State for
efficiency in their peculiar sphere Of
duty. Since the organization of the
Department there has been wakened
in the ranks of both companies a
spirit of emulation, gallantry and
mutual respect that has made them
the pets and pride of our population
and rendered them eminently wor-
thy OF the praise anu Connueuee VI
the entire community.
On the night before the interest
ing events of Parade day, the
"weather bureau of the best gov
eminent, ETC., Numbered a threaten
ing stormy protest against the con
summation of the carefully prepared
programme, and it was sadly feare'
that the pleasures anticipated by tn
!, Department and its hosts OF citizen
friends would be married by a cease
less rain. Fortunately and freakish
", we might say, the weather sign
veered around to the bright side {
: the "bureau'' and the day we cell
e brate came in cool, calm and pleas
ant.

The GROWTH OF THE SouTH.
an article showing the rapid increase
Of the Southern States the New York
Sun says THE population of the
South, as shown by the census of last
year, was the occasion of loud outcry
against the honesty of the Southern
enumelators when the figures BEGAN 20
be presented. Republican orators in
Congress and out of it and Republican
: newspapers Joined in impugnine the
.accuracy'of the CENSUS, and in charging
the South with conspiracy to swell
its proportionate representation by sys-
tematic fraud.
But investigation showed that those
charges were altogether baseless, and
though their utterers have never with.
drawn them, Row, when the full re-
turns of the population of the South
ern States are in, we no longer hear of
any attempts to dispute their honesty
and accuracy. The growth of the
population of the old slave States dur.
ing the last twenty years is as indis-
putAble as it Is remarkable. Wesay
during twenty years, for the figures Of
-the census of, 1860 afford better basis
for comparison than those for 1870,
when the enumeration was manifestly
defective.
This increase is the most surprising
and suggestive result shown by the
census OF 1880. 1t disappoints the
CONFIDENT expectations ofgreat propor-
tionate Northern gains under the new
apportionment, and it proves that the
6outh has been gaining in population
far more rapidly than the old States OF
the North especially those of New Eng
land"
In 1850 the fifteen Southern States
had population Of 2,240,2 in
1870 1t had increased to 13, S7s ,425, in
eluding West Virginia, and in 1880 it
is found to be 1907, 976. This in
crease in the last ten years is remarka-
BILE.
la the twenty years from 1860 20 1850
the old slave States gained o,267, ,G83 in
habitants, or about fifty per cent. During
shat time the whole population OF the
United States increased from 81, ,443. .8aI
20 80, 1852 $50, or 1900. .23s. In 1869 The
slave States had two-6fths of the whole
Less about 397 900, and in 1880 thew We rs
short of two-fflhs by about 100000.
The daily gazette., 1881-01-12

1t win be seen, therefore. that these
States have nearly held their own with
the rest, though during the twenty year,
the West has gained SO heavily in popu,
lation. Since 1860 the New England
States have increased in population only
$1,000, or more than quarter. The
old States Of New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, and Ohio have gained
$500, 101, or more than third. 80
The great increase in population has
beeen at the West aud South. The popu-
lation OF the West, exclusive Of Ohio, has
more than doubled; that at the South
has increased about one half, that in
New Epgland somewhat more than one
quarter, and that in tue four States of
New York, New Jersey, pennsylvania,
and Ohio more than third.
The daily gazette., 1881-01-12

THE United States has population
of 100000. They are acknowledged
to be the most frugal, intelligent and
energetic people on the globe. They
possess moro resources for paying
debts as is shown during the past de-
cade. There should be no reason
then for their not being able to bor-
row at as low rates as anyother people.
and all objections to per cent. gov
ernment bond will fade away as soon
as it is known the government has re-
solved to pay no higher rate than 8
per cent.

Z tqtlA SHIP RAILwAY.-Captain Eadi
has returned to Washington from Mex
saa leo. where he has been very successful
In securing the aid and permission OF
i.5a that government in the building of a
ship railway across the Isthmus of Te-
hauantepec, where there is already a
~ railway In progress under the power
~ granted to citizen of Massachusetts.
.yp We acknowledge the receipt of a
handsomely bound book from the friends
OF this great and important enterprise,
which contains large amount of inter-
. ssting information III regard 10 the coun-
4 try through which Capt. Eads designs to
carry his great work of engineering skill
! over which he proposes to pass the
largest ships, with their cargoes, to the
Pacific ocean, and TO stop vessels on the
passage at convenient points and dis
: ieharge freight or take In cargoes of tim
Der, cotton, rice, sugar, coffee, tobacco,
bannanas, oranges, corn, or other pro-
2 ducts, which the soil yields in great
abundance; and of many of these ar
ticles two crops in one year.
Before the building of the Pacific
Railways, the route over Tehauantepec
D was the most desired by The government
'a OF the United States, and it is yet the |
most valued because Of its closer con-
! nection with the Gulf 81 ates, and a pas
Z sage from New York to San Francisco
q over IL being near two thousand miles
shorter than by the way Of Panama
This distanes is also saved in passage
. to China, Japan or Australia, and gain
OF some 10000 miles is saved in COM
parlson with rounding Cape Horn.
These distances are doubled when we
add the return passage. Hence the diff
Terence between voyage rounding Caue
b horn for China, and crossing Tehuan-
'epec is eighteen or twenty thousand
miles, and by the Panama route in a
voyage to San Francisco the saving
would be four thousand miles. This is
an important consideration and yery
much in favor Of Captain Ead's project
ed railway. OF the practicability of
tne transportation of ships by railway,
a. Capt. Eads has no doubt, and he pro
poses to erect ten miles of the road and
prove the feasibility of his plan to carry
ships that far upon it before he will AJAX
the government for its aid in guarantees
bonds. This seems all fair, aud as the
route is one that would come entirely
within the control of the United States
government, it is hoped that Capt. Eads
will be encouraged to proceed with his
great enterprise until he establishes his
entire ability to make it accomplish all
he proposes. 1t all doubts Of this
character were overcome the Tehuante
pee ship railway would nol lack for CAP
ital TO build and put IL in operation, il
IL could be done for $70,00O,OO0 lh,
sum named as sufficient to complete il
from ocean TO ocean.
