to receive and receipt for monies due this

POWDER.
We learn that it is a common practice
for our merchants to keep in store large
quantities of powder. In all well governed
cities there are ordinances requiring mer
chants having powder, in a quantity ex
ceeding forty or fifty pounds, to store it in
a building outside of their limits and provi
ded for this purpose by the city. This is
a wise precaution, which should be adopted
by our City Authorities. We know not
at what moment we may be subjected to
the ravages of fire. How much more ter
rible will be this visitation when accompa
nied with the destructive element of gun
powder.
Should a fire take place on White-hall
street, our gallant Firemen might imperil
their own lives in performing the duty of
s&ving the lives and property of their Fel
low Citizens. The perils they encounter
under ordinary circumstances are surely
sufficiently great their without being unne
cessarily exposed to additional ones.
A small portion of the Twenty Thousand
dollars annually paid into the Treasury by
our citizens would save us the risk of val
uable life and property.
LOSSES BY THE FIRE. .
The fire which occurred on Sunday
night, while it destroyed but one building,
yet fell heavily upon those whom it visit
ed. We learn from the best sources of
information, that the individual loss of our
worthy fellow citizens, Messrs. Shackel
ford & McDaniel, Auctioneer, who occu
pied the store on the first floor, will not b
less than four thousand dollars, (and no
insurance) in notes and accounts. We
extremely regret that this misfortune should
have fallen upon them, for they had but re
cently commenced business, and had dis.
played in this period, an energy, and an
enterprise full of promise in the future.—
We believe that we speak the sense of the
community, when we say, that these gen.
tieman have its sympathy. With regard
to the amount of the loss of others on the
same occasion, wc append a statement
which has been handed us.
J. 8. & L. Bowie, Charleston, in ready
made clothing, 82000 00—insured 2,-
ftOO 00.
William Wood, |Athens, Furniture, to
the amount of between 8200, or 8300—no
insurance.
Henry Skinner, Augusta, Furniture, be
tween 8300, or 8400—no insurance.
Azel Howard, cutlery, <tc., supposed to
be from 83000 to 85000—no insurance.
In addition to this, there were consign
ments of various articles in the house at
the time of the fire, which have been de
stroyed, and upon which there was no in.
surance
The house belonged to the Rev. Mr.
McDonald, and we learn was insured to
the amount of 83500 00.
THE BRITISH REVIEWS.
It was our intention, some time ago, to
call the attention of our readers to the
prospectus of the four British Reviews, and
Blackwood, which has appeared in our ad
vertising columns, for some weeks past.
The American publishers of these works
have made arrangements with the British
publishers for sheets in advance, so that
they may give to their subscribers these
periodicals simultaneously, almost, with
their publication on the other side of the
Atlantic. The literature of the world, is
contained in these periodicals. The tal
ent of Great Britain is employed upon
them, as well as American talent of the
highest order. And when to these induce
ments, the pecuniary consideration—that
of the low price of the four, with Black
wood also—is added, no one who is able
to afford it. should do without them. All
may be obtained for the low price of 810-
The postage $1,50, is added when not ob
tained from local agents.
An Expressiyk ex
change says: Once on J<nke Ontario, in
an old tub of a steamer, a substitute for
the regular boat, bound, at the rate of six
miles an hour, from Oswego to Niagara
river, we asked the skipper if he meant to
take the usual route, via Toronto. “Go to
Toronto in this thing!" was his answer,
“I would as soon undertake to drive a toad
through a barrel of tar!"
RESPECT OF THE USURY LAWS.
We copy the following communication
from the Augusta Constitutionalist & Re
public. It is written upon a subject—
that of Usury —which is now being ex*
tensively discussed in the press. We in
cline to the writers opinions on the subject,
and w.ll hereafter take occasion to ex
press our opinion upon a movement fraught,
with dangerous consequences.
[communicated ]
Mr. Editor : —I regret to see you yiel
ding so readily to the popular current
against Usury laws and restrictions. —
Though commercial cities and respectable
chambers of commerce have recommend
ed the abrogation of all legalized restraints
on usury and interest for money, I still
have grave doubts of its propriety or safety
for the property investments of this coun
try. The experience of England is quoted
as authority—l think an unsafe one. We
have not, nor can we have under institu
tions a great centralized metallic regulator
like England, to keep exchange and inter
est on money equal and uniform. The
practice of our Banks in evading all legal
restraints in trading in exchange, &c.,is
assigned as a reason. I think the philoso
phy very bad. If the Banks do wrong,
are we to invite the whole community to
follow their example, to enlist in the army
of Shylocks and reckless speculators, and
unfix all standards of value and property
investments ? Ido not propose to discuss
or elaborate this subject now; but to enter
a general demurrer to this new light doc
trine on finance, and require its advocates
to iliustrate its safety and practicabili'y on
the property investments of our country—
not England or our trading cities. All
will admit that it is an experiment and a
great change in the policy and moral sen
timent of the country, and I think should
be well sifted before adopted.
We all deprecate a depreciated curren
cy. It unhealthily inflates the value of
property —unhinges all settled maxims as
guides of both trade and investment. Our
people have studied some in that depart
ment of finance, and are guarded. If I
understand the effect of the measure now
proposed, and that you advocate, it is to
introduce into the market a legalized de
preciated credit to compete with sound
credit, and if it has the same effect that a
depreciated currency has, it will drive out
the sound credit, and take its place.
We have heard a great deal about Wild
Cat currency—that is what you propose to
counect with a Wild Cat credit—Wild Cat
Bulls, Wild Cat Bears. An open free
fight, without an umpire, or any other rule
guide or restraint than who can make the
most, and get the most for the least sum,
and the result will be, I fear, a great Cat-
Ass- Trophy to moral rules and sentiments,
as well as everything settled and reliable
that the confidence of men is placed on.

FARCE I’FARCE 11
Some one has placed upon our table a
meagre pamphlet 4 by 6 inches, purporting
to be an announcement of a Medical Col
lage, in this city. For the honor of out
city, we had rather this “thing”* had not
been issued. We are bound as a Journal
ist to inform the public, that, we have no
College here ; wo have no Hospital; we
have no Chemical Apparatus; we have no
dfuzeum, and worse than all, the Faculty
nominally elected have not the funds to
build a College, or purchase the necessary
apparatus. We warn the public, and we
ask our brethren of the press to do like
wise, that, we have no College here. In
the course of time we may have a College
here, but for the present, we inform the
public wc have none. The Faculty nom
inally elected are unknown, some of them
no one ever heard of before, and not one
of them arc es first-rate, or even ordinary
ability.
Attack on Liquor Shops ey Wo
men. —The Kalamazoo (Mich.) Telegraph
furnishes the particulars of a descent made
on the taverns of Otsego, by the women
i of that place, in consequence of an insult
| offered by a dealer to a female whose drun
' ken husband visited his house. The
Telegraph says:
The women of the villoge, to the num
ber of 38, armed with axes and hatchets,
formed a procession and marched upon
the destroyers of their domestic peace.—
Proceeding to the hotel, they commenced
a general demolition of decanters, jugs,
tumblers and barrels, when the proprietor,
beseeching them to desist, came to terms,
and gave bonds not to sell any more liquor
for six months, after which they quietly
withdrew. They then proceeded to sev
eral groceries where liquors were sold.—
Ono of the keepers, after a portion of
his stock had been destroyed, signed the
required bond. Another refused, when
they poured out his stock of liquors amidst
the greatest excitement. During the op
eration the proprietor rudely grasped one
of the females and hurled her back,
whereupon he was seized and most
thoroughly drenccd in his own liquor.—
He received several very severe injuries
in the melee. After having accomplish
ed this, the women quietly dispersed.
During the year 1854, there were
3,640 deaths in the New-Orleans Charity
Hospital. The total nnmber of admis
sions was 13,183. The year before, the
deaths were 3,164; admissions 13,759.
The whole number of deaths last week
in New-Orleans was 169.
Madame Anna Bishop seems to
have abandoned the “legitimate." A
month ago she took a benefit in San Fran
cisco, and appeared as the “Black Swan,"
in a negro trifle. She blacked her face
and did up the darkey admirably. What
| will her knighted husband say to that ?
VIRGINIA DEMOCRACY.
Under the above bead, we find the fol
lowing article in the Coos (N. H.) Demo
crat :
The noble democracy of Virginia, by
the nomination of Henry A. Wise, has
done one good thing at least. It has
taken with its candidate a bold, honest,
and unwavering stand against know-noth
ingism. It has firmly and unitedly gone
forth to meet and resist its advancing tide,
and set it, vaunting and audacious as it is,
utterly at defiance.
In doing this, as on several former oc
casions, the democracy of Virginia has
set a noble example, which the democracy
of the whole Union ought to be proud to
follow; which they must follow unless
they are prepared to desert their own plat
form, make war on their own usages, and
annihilate their own strength.
What has democracy anywhere right
fully to do with religious proscription and
sectional intolerance other than to resist
them ? What has democracy to do in
midnight consultation with whigs and
freesoilers ? Democrats* who are insane
enough, still remaining democrats to enter
these underground conclaves are received
there with hostile purposes to themselves
and their principles.
“Wlil you walk into my parlor,
Said the spider to the fly.
The spider was a know-nothing, swollen
with venom against democracy, and the
fly some wavering democrat, likely to be
ensnaied. True democrats are of larger
growth and strong enough to sweep
through all the snares the enemy may
spread for them.
We hope that here and everywhere
democratic candidates may be found wil
ling and ready to meet and resist this new
faction. We second in that matter the
desire of the Union Democrat to see it
met with defiance. We hope to see upon
this question, as upon many others, the
Granite State and the Old Dominion npon
the same broad and liberal platform, con
tending in the same bold and hones'
spirit."
were “ Know Nothings" from their own
showing, as follows :
“ All that we know is, that we know
nothing."— Socrates.
“ All we know is nothing can be known.’’
[Byron.
It was once looked on as evidence of huj
mility for one to confess that he was a
know-nothing. The apostle Paul, however,
was of a different opinion, where, in Tim
othy vi-4, he speaks of a class of men as
“proud, knowing nothing.” Job, on the
other hand, considered them merely as an
ephemeral and transitory affair, and says,
viii-9, “we are but of yesterday and ‘know
nothing,’ because our days upon earth are
a shadow. From these diversities of opin
ion it appears that the above worthies were
all bona fide and literally “Know-Noth
ings," not knowing, as the boy said, “a
durn thing" about it.— Mont. Journal.
Lord Forth has returned to Eng
land from the Crimea. It is said that his
return created great indignation: The
London correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes:
He is a very young officer, a minor, and
as it seems, not much of a hero. In the
battle of Alma he threw himself on the
ground and screamed—“l am frightened,
I can’t fight." Ijord Raglan sent him
word that in the next battle he was ex
pected to distinguish himself by his gal
lantry; two officers, therefore, were sent by
the General-in-Chief to cast away his
epauletts, to break his sword, and kick
him out of the camp. Ho returned to
England a disgraced man, his family dis
own him, and the clubs are closed against
him.
Mr. Richardson is again before
Congress with his invention for transmit
ting the mail by atmospheric pressure.
At Copenhagen, Denmark, a shor
time ago, one Hans Herring, a naturalized
citizen of the United States, was arrested
immediately on landing. He was saved
by the interposition 'of our Consul, Mr.
Bedinger, but was forced to take his imme
diate departure for London.
