Saturday waa a gala day in our city-the occasion of the seuii-annuai parade of oar excellent Fire Department. The street* were lined with people, and the halooniea, door-way* and Torandah* were occupied lty fair tpeotator*. The variou* Companies pretented a fine appearanoe, the engine* and reels being decorated in the moat taste ful manner, showing that the gallant fire fighter* are held in kind remembrance by the hotter portion of our population—the girl* and ladies fair. By aotaml count, the Companies “turned out” a* follow* : Pioneer Hook and Ladder 32 Washington. No. 1 46 Clinch, No. 2 28 Vigilant, No. 340 Fillmore, No. 4 50 Augusta, No. 5 26 Biennerhassett, No. 6 41 Richmond, No. 7 33 Citizen, No. 8 41 Goorgia (Independent) 52 Mechanic, “ 38 At Ihe close of the review, a contest of muscle came off, on Broad street, between Georgia, Vigilant, and Mechanic compa nies—a proposition to see which Company oould throw the farthest distance by means of Georgia’s engine. Prize — a magnificent stannum trumpet (three feet long). It was also agreed that the Company throwing the least distance should donate a barrel ot lager-beer. The result of thin spirited trial was : Georgia—l7o feet, 10 inches ; Vigi lant, 176 feet, 8 inches; Mechanic, 181 feet, 2 inches. The presentation to the winning Company was made by Mr. Ros well Kino, and accepted on the part of Mechanic by Mr. A. R. Wright— both speeches reflecting much credit on the speakers. But the feature of the day occurred in front of the Augusta Hotel—the presenta tion and christening of the new and beauti ful Hose Reel ordered for the efficient band of Firemen known as Fillmore No. 4. In the presence of several hundred ladies and gentlemen this interresting ceremony oc curred. Alderman Levy, chairman of the Engine Committee, formally presented the Reel; Captain Edwin F. Blodgett, in a neat little speech, accepted the same in be. half of his Company, and then introduced the master of the christening ceremony, Hon. Henry Hilliard, who enchained the large auditory for thirty minutes in one of his happiest efforts, concluding by breaking the generons wine and pronounc ing the name of “Annie Lee,” in honor of the daughter of the renowued Chieftain of that illustrious name. We shall not at tempt a sketch of Mr. Hilliard’s eloquent remarks, hoping to present the speeches entire in our next issue. At eight o’clock in the evening, over one hundred invited guests were received by the Fillmoreans at their Hall, to partake of good cheer. After another inspection of the “Annie Lee ” Reel, which had been decorated with beautiful wreaths, artisti cally trimmed by the skilful hands of fair admirers, the company were ushered up stairs—to find long tables bountifully spread with substantial and delicate ap petizers of the Inner man, anil to which ample justice was rendered. After which, with the proper vinous accompaniment, was inaugurated “ the feast ot reason and the flow of soul.” At the late hour of adjournment, it was impossible to give anything like a fair re port of the many appropriate sentiments and responses inspired by the occasion. Suffice it to say that “the'day we celebrate,’ Millard Fillmore, Georgia, the City Council of Augusta, “Annie Lee,” the Judiciary, the Press, Woman, the Bar, etc., were duly toasted, and acknowledged by gentlemen present. We were compelled to retire be fore the musical part of the entertainment, vocal and instrumental, came off. All in all, this reunion of brother firemen and citizens, at Fillmore Hall, was a most pleasant affair, and will long be remembered by the gratified participants. Tlie Weather. Yesterday was a delightful day. The sun shone pleasantly, and our Firemen could not have been favored with better weather for their grand display. Th* gallant boys doubtless felt highly complimented by the large turn-out of handsome ladies to witness the parade. Orchards. When the ground occupied by an orchard is uneven and not drained, the trees on the dry knolls will be larger and healthier, and will yield more abundant crops than those in the wet hollows, and this in spite of the fact that the soil in the hollows is deeper and richer. Orchards should always be drained. In selecting a site for an orchard, choose a hillside in preference to a valley, divided by a small stream. Warm, low intervals of land are more subject to untimely frosts than the neighboring elevations. As the night air becomes chilled, its density increases, and it rolls down the hillside and settles on the flats, whore the prevailing stillness favors the process of freezing. During the mild and sunny.days of winter, fruit trees are more liable to be swelled prematurely on low bottoms. One who is in the habit of riding over a broken piece of country in cold, still nights, will not need to be told that the lowest temperature will be found in the lowest localities. Fruit trees will be less likely to suffer from cold weather when the ground they stand upon is thoroughly drained. The fruit grower who suffers his trees to stand all winter in puddles of water or in fetters of icc, has no right to complain if his garden is over stocked with grateful pea brush.

ARREST Ot GENERAL THOMAS. Washington, February 22.—The Senato, after seven hours' executive session, re solved that the President had no right to remove Stanton. At eight o’clock this morning, Thomas was arrested on a warrant issued by Judge Carter, on an affidavit ot Stanton, for a violation of the Fifth Section of the Tenure of Office Bill. Both Houses meet to-day sot busiuess. The e’xcitement here is very great Thomas is released on a bail of #5,000 to appear on Wednesday. Stanton camped in tlic War Office last night and is still in possession. Sherman’s letter to the President, Janu ary 18th, is published, alluding to the contemplated efforts iff himself and Grant to induce Stanton to resign. Sherman says if he will not, then it will be time to contrive ulterior measures— Sherman deprecates precipitation. The Committee on Reconstruction— seven Republicans against two Democrats —decided to-day to prefer articles of im peachment against the President for his conduct respecting the removal of Stanton. SECOND DISPATCH. Washington, February 22, Night. — The debate is progressing with spirit, but dignity, and the excitement is snbiiding. The President will take no arbitrary measures. Ho is content with the present shape of affairs. • The matter is now with the courts. The day has been generally observed. No domestic markets. Only Brooks and Beck voted against the impeachment resolutions in the Reconstrue tion Committee. After the release from custody, Adjutant General Thomas found his oflico door locked, Stanton had the key. Thomas went to Stanton’s office, finding Stanton and ten members of Congress and Gens. Grant, Dent and Howard as sentinels guarding each door. Visitors were only addmitted after cards were inspected. Several cards presented for Thomas, but admission re fused. Col. Moore, the President’s private Secre tary called to see Thomas, but admission was refused. Thomas remained in Stanton’s room until half past twelve, when he left the War building. During the interview, Stanton notified Thomas that ho would not give up the Sec retaryship, or obey Thomas as Secretary of War, and that lie had instructed all em ployees of the Department not to obey Thomas. At two o’clock Thomas had a prolonged interview with the President, during which the President said he desired to test the matter legally in the Courts. The Democratic National Committee named New York ns the place on the 4th of July, for holding the National Conven tion. Committeemen from the Southern States had full voice in the Committee. The President’s impeachment by the House is undoubted. Congressional. Washington, Feb. 22. — Senate:— No business. Adjourned. House. —Eldridgc moved that as it was Washington’s birthday, Washington's fare well address be read and House adjourn.

Half a dozen trivial matters were moved but all objected to in retaliation, and regu lar order was demanded. A bill declaring San Antonia, Texas, a port of delivery. Passed. The motion to have the address read was resumed. Mr. Schenck objected. Mr. Ingersoll, of Illinois, proposed to postpone the reading of the address till next week. The House refused to adjourn by a vote of 2G to 106,. A bill punishing Federal officers for un lawful use of money or property was passed. It imprisons from one to fifteen years and fines twice the amount lost by loan, deposit, or personal use. Mr. Stevens rose, when the Speaker gave notice that the demonstrations in the gal leries would lead to their clearing. Mr. Stevens reported the following from the Reconstruction Committee : Resolved, That Andrew Johnson, Presi* dent of the United States, be impeached of high crimes and misdemeanor in office.

Meiudias, Miss., February s^-Bates, the ex-Federal Sergeant, who is to' walk alone aud unattendcdjfrom Vicksburg to Washing ton by the Ist of June, carrying a United States flag, reached here to-day. He was cold, wet and thirsty, and said he would like to take a drink. Ho was escorted to a saloon by au enthus iastic crowd of ex rebels, who treated him with distinguished consideration, and the whole party took sugar and whiskey. Bates pronounced it good, and the wh de party took another taste all round. Bates still approved of the mixture, and wanted to stand treat himself, but it could not be thought of. A delegation of citizens, headed by the Mayor, called on Bates, and oysters were ordered. Bates took a dozen raw and a dozen fried, with butter and pepper. The Mayor presented his guest with the freedom ot the city. The bar-keeper now treated. They all took whiskey and sugar. Bates and the Mayor adjourned to the bil liard room and played a friendly game, at intervals taking whiskey aud sugar. After which, on account of the weather, they took a little whiskey and sugar. Bates now left the city, on the Selma road, but after going about a half mile, es corted by a delegation of citizens, headed by the Mayor, he returned and took some whis key and sugar. The landlord gave Bates a bottle of whiskey, and an enterprising gro cery merchant gave him two pounds of sugar, which he put in his pockets. After this, Bates left on the road for Selma. —Special to the Selma Times and Mes senger. •:—— j— * # [Advertisement.] Legal Blanks- At this office the following Blanks, neatly printed, may be obtained, by the single sheet or by the quire: Garnishment Affi davit and Bond, Bail Bond, Attachment, Claim aud Replevy Bond, Mortgage Bond, etc. tl [ Advertisemen t.j Cooda at a Sacrifice.
