On Monday night, about 2 o’clook, our oil hums wore aroused from their slumbers by the alarm of firo, which was found to proceed from tho wooden buil ding nearly opposlto tho Episcopal Church, tho property of Mrs. L.-J. Pock, of Augusta, and occupied by Mr. R. Y. Moore, and Mr. B. 0. Salvage, tho Foreman of tho Courier office. Tho firo is supposed to havo originated from ash es deposited in a box in tho basement room ol the house,, and had progressed so far when discovered, that tho occu pants wove just able to osonpo withou* saving anything but their lives from tho flamos. Their loss is about 8200 each. Tho building was insured for about $800. The fire noxt communicated with the building owned and occupied by Mr. R. L. Duncan, and burnt it to the ground, but the night bolng very calm, and no other houses within roach of the flames, tho conflagration proceeded no further* Mr. Duncan savod ids movables. Loss $600; insurance $300.

The Meeting on Tuesday. The meeting of tho Constitutional Union party of Floyd, whoso proceed, ings may bo found In our paper to-day like all mootings evory whore of the same party, was composed of our most respeotable and intelligent citizens— men who cannot be led about by misled- dert at their will—but who think and act for themselves. While thero was was not the boisterous enthusiusm of blind followers of designing dema gogues, there was tho earnestness of pa triots who appreciated tho importance of the occasion, and were determined to do their duty. Mr. Alexander’s speech was listened to with eager attention and delight, ami the people were assured that they still had on able champion to fight their bat tles fof them in the field of debate.— His roview of the rise of tho Democrat ic party, although necessarily brief, was lucid, truthful, and instructive, and his denunciation of their duplicity an I corruption was or just as it was indig nant. Ills eloquent allusions to Henry Clay and John Boll were loudly applau ded. Ills hearers left for their homes with feelings of gratitude to him, and more thoroughly convinced that John Boll of Tennessee, and Edward Everett of Massachusetts were the men to res cue our country from the dangers which environ it, and restore it to peace, prosperity and its pristine purity. fiQrRev. N. M. Crawford, President of Mercer University will preach in the Baptist Church on next Sunday. $2r.!Ion. Mr. Bouligny, of Louisiana, an Opposition momber of Congress,who last winter declared his intention to support Mr. Dougins, has abandoned that candidate and is now for Mr. Boll. The Insult to Mb. Dallas.—Wo Imve not time now to comment at largo upon tho intelligence which reached us from England late last night, but wo think that wo interpret tho sentiment of every white man in the United States, when we characterize tho conduct of Lord Brougham at tho International .Statistical Congress in London as neith er noblo nor discreet. Tho insult whioh thorough ex-Chancollor of Eng land wantonly cast upon Mr. Dallas wus uncalled for, out of plnco; and it will bo resented by the proud and spirited people whom Mr. Dulles represents, in ways whioh England may sorely deplore. It may turn out that the Prince Consort, who presided at tho Congress, called the voneiablo statesman to order; but should it appear tlmt Prince Albert was silent during the rude speech of Lord Brougham and all that followed it, it will he difficult to calm the storm which the unfortunato incident will oc casion in this country. Our people are feverish enough just now; they wunt no additional stimulation ; wo trust, therefore, that Lord Brougham was re buked on tho sjtot by one of his own peers. Tho dignity of Mr. Dallas under the joint assault of Lord Brougham and his tdnek brother, wus most commondablo, —Boston C iiricr. Late News. upper part of this county three no groes, belonging respectively to Dr. Chaney, Mr. Sledge and another gen tleman, whose name wo do not know, were overheard concerting a plan to rise and destroy tho whites In that set tlement. One of them was afterwards whipped by his master and confessed tho truth, and on Tuesday tho neigh bors met and brought the negroes be fore them, and they corroborated tho statements of tho other. Mr. Sledge’s boy, whose name is Green, and is a no toriously bad character, divulged the whole plot, which seems to havo been about this:—They had determined to instigate un insurrection between now and Ghristmas, and had approached several negroes on the subject, some of whom consented to join thorn and others refused. Their first point c.f attack was to have boen on a meeting soon to be held at a Baptist Churoh on Armueheo creek. The people were on the eve of hang ing tho boy Green, who seems to have been the ring-loader, but thoy let him off upon condition that he should bo sent out of tho State. There is no evi dence that white men are implicated, though such is doubtless the case, as thero are several suspicious individuals prowling about in tho county. The people cannot bo too vigilant in watch ing suoh fellows. They might find proof to justify them in making an ox- ample of ono or more of them that would be a wholesome lesson to the rest. ^ m Lecture by Rev.C. W. Howard. Wo have received from the author a copy of his Lecture on “Christian Be nevolence as illustrated in tho early History of Georgia.” It was first deliv ered before the young Men’s Christian Association of Augusta, next in this place and afterwards in every city and town of importance in the State. We had tho pleasure of hearing it here, and the impression then made upon our mind has not since passed away, and the delight of that hour will be repro duced by a perusal of tho address in its present form. It is neatly and oreditably printed at the “Steam Power press of the Chron icle A Sentinel” Augusta, Ga., at the request and for the benefit of the As sociation in that city. The Steeiuno Apparatus op the Great Eastekn.—There .is ono thing about the Great E-islrn, which I do not remember to havo soimi noticed by any newspaper, and which admirably illus trates the obstinacy of tho English mind against tho introduction of American improvements in naviuation. Thu steering arrangements in Yankee steam vessels, as every body knows are for ward whore the steerunui ecu overlook tho bow of tho ship, und see exactly wluit is before him. Un tho Great Eas tern ho is placed between the paddle boxes, on an elevatjon, where he c «eo little or nothing cm either side or front, lie does not actuully do the steering, hut indicates how it is to be done to the oight men who bnndie the rudder at the stern. The signals which ho uses are the movements of a hand on tin dial. Should tho 8‘gnals get out ofordor at some critical moment, it would talco several prooious seconds to pass the word back to tho men at tin* stern, any serious accidents might Impponin tho meantime. The direc tions ns to steering are given by the captain or acting lioud officer from his station on the weel-iiouso. it is evi dent to any American sailor that tho whole business could be much better done by fewer hands, at a pilothouso near the bow; but that would be an in vasion of tho English system, and there fore, of course, is out of tho question.— N. Y. Cor. of Charleston'Mercury. The Insult to Mr. Dallas. The foreign advices by tho Asia at Now York, although not as late previouly received contain some mat ters of Importance which wo sub join : At a meeting of tho statistical Con gress in London Lord Brougham, the ohnirmun, said tliut ho wished to mako an observation. He regretted very much that Mr. Dallas, tho Minister for tho United States, was not present, be cause it appeared that u remark which he had made at the opening meeting on Monday iiad been attempted to be turned into something disrespectful to tho American Ambassador, lio could only say ho was very sorry that remark should have boon so misconstrued. Ho never intended to say anything that could possibly bo painful to our kins men in the United Slates, tor whom ho had tho greatest respect, 'though there were subjects upon which ho and they diffoved. When ho saw Dr. Delaney, a respect able colored gentloiuan from Canada, in the rocm, ho merely mentioned it ««u statistical fact, which it was, and a fact, he might be permitted to add, of no sinull importance. He only called the attention of Mr. Dallas to it in the sumo way as he would have invited the at tention of their oxoellont colleague from Brazil, without tho slightest intention of saying anything disrespectful to tho Brazilians, llo hoped that Count de Ropolda would also ucoept this expla nation, as the Spaniards Had persons of various races in their possessions in the New World. LATED FROM EUROPE. Arrival of the steamer KANGAROO* _ St. Jouns, August 5.—The steamship Kangaroo with Liverpool dates to tho 25th ult, passed Capo Race on Friday night last.
