Fire.
The alarm of fire last night was caused by
the burning of a hole about the size of a
greenback on the kitchen of Mrs. Willis,
on Ellis street, in the First Ward.
Three buckets of water did t.ie work of
putting out the fire, and yet the man at the
bell at the Lower Market kept up an inter-,
minable ringing, which, however, he did not
begin until after the fire was out and not a
vestige of it seen.

A Mistake.
The Augusta Republican attempted to
brow-beat the lieporter, but the Reporter
whipped it away from our sanctum.— La-
Grange Reporter.
Altogether a mistake. The Republican
is not a Democratic journal, and has, conse
quently, too much regard for fairness to
“brow-beat” any one; nor can it bo
“whipped" by anything this side of sun.

Winter Supplies.
A great many Freedmen, yesterday, were
industriously laying in their Winter sup
plies of wood, which came floating down the
Savannah river, caused by the rising from
the recent heavy rains. This is right, both
white and black should catch as much of
this wood as possible, for soon old hoary
head will be here, and a comfortable fire is
indeed a consolation.
“ Honor to whom Holier io Due.”
It affords us pleasure to chronicle the
fact that the street lamps were all ablaze
early on Sunday night, notwithstanding the
moon has not yet reached its last quarter.
This is decidedly to the credit of the Gas
Man, especially as wc are informed by the
Almanac that “twi-light is shortest now,’’
and we have all seen that the darkness
“about now” is very dark indeed.
A Regret.
Wc havn’t seen the Augusta Republican
in a month. We didn't see much when it
came to our office every day.— La Grange
Repot ter.
We regret that our amiable friend has
been deprived of even the little he might
have seen to admire in the Republican
during the past month, and assure him that
its failure to reach his office was purely
accidental—an omission in transcribing our
Mail Book.

K iehl’s Paper Cutter.
Among the recent additions wc have
found it necessary to make to the machinery
of our establishment is one of Michael
Riehl’s Guillotine Paper and Card Cutters.
It will cut a ream or more of paper as easily
and with as great facility us a lady would
slice a loaf of pound cake ; and is, altogether,
one of the best and most serviceable ma
chines we have ever seen. All persons in
terested, or Printers and Binders desiring
to supply themselves with an indispensa
ble implement, arc invited to call at our
office and examine ours for themselves.

Stephen Fountain.
Mr. Stephen Fountain, known ns Steve
Fountain, died this morning, in the City
Hospital, at four o'clock.
Although Stephen’s position in life was
not what any of us would aspire to, yet he
was one of God’s children, with his troubles
and cares, and in his death, sorrow touches
the hearts of his humble friends and rela
tives, and the tears from their eyes arc as
bitter as from the rich or the proud. What
a lesson we learn by observing the life and
character of these fallen children of earth.
God in His Providence, it seffins, has
decreed that some shall live for the benefit
of others. As we deplore the downfall or
degradation of any human being-, we ask
the attention of our readers, especially the
young, to the lesson taught by the life and
character of this misguided young man.

The Mayor’s Election.
The Superintendents of registry opened
their books yesterday morning for the reg.
istration of voters at the Mayor’s election-
One hundred and twelve persons were reg.
istered.
Wc here give warning to those receiving
certificates that they will have to present
them when they go to vote, and should,
therefore, preserve them with the greatest
care. As this is a matter in which the City
of Augusta and her citizens alone are in
terested, we would suggest to the proper
authorities that a severe penalty be im
posed upon those who attempt to infringe
upon a fair and legal expression of the pub
lie will, by destroying or getting possession
of these certificates in any way whatever
from their rightful owners.

Report oj an Analysis o f Radu ay's Regu
lating mis,
Instituted lor the satisfaction ol the
Prussian Government and people. It ap
pears that the great popularity of the Pills
throughout Germany, as an aperient, anti
billious mid alterative medicine, bad pro
voked the malice of the apothecaries, who
caused a report to be circulated that the
ingredients were poisonous. Therefore a
scientific inquisition into their nature and
properties was ordered, the issues of which
was a most triumphant vindication of the
sanitary value of the Pills.
The Faculty of the College state in their
report that after a careful and minute ex
amination, they have the honor to state that
“ the Pills are not only Irce from evcl’V sub
stance injurious to health, but are composed
wholly of substances and elements promotive
of digestion, and certain at the same time to
act favorably upon the nervous system,’
etc., etc. They state, further, that the inju
rious rumors set afloat by the Prussian
apothecaries originated “in a mean spirit of
trade jealousy, excited by the great celebrity
attained by the Pills within a very brief
period.”

Pennsylvania -March of an,Army
Corps of Republicans.
Pailadeli’iiia, October 2—There, has
been a visiting force of hilly thirty thousand
carpet-baggers in Philadelphia to-day.
About fifteen thousand of them were veteran
soldiers, and of these twelve thousand were
in the ranks and in uniform. It is certain
that since the closing review of war at
Washington there has been no such column
of veterans on march in the country. The
whole city aud thousands from this .section
were out to witness (he demonstration.
Philadelphia has often been draped in flags,
but never were they seen in such prolusion
before.
The marching way in the streets was kept
clear by the police, and the column moved
on in quick time with that long, easy swing
ini' step which veterans alone can take, and
which peace men can not counterfeit.
There were fifty-four delegations, mid
three of these numbered at the lowest figures
five thousand men. The march was by
platoon front. The leading battalion, wear
ing blue caps and blouses, carried lances,
each having a small flag attached with the
one word “peace” upon it-
Next came a large battalion similarly
uniformed, but on the flags of their lances
were such words us-“ Libby,” “Belle Isle,”
“Catawba,” “Andersonville,” “Salisbury,”
“Columbia,” and so on, through the whole
list of rebel prison-pens. Every one was
represented in the lines. Wherever they
passed first came it cheer at their mulching,
aud then quiet, and next tears in hundreds
of eyes.
There was a tannery in line, poles, build
ing, vats, hides and workmen, all complete,
and the figure of Grant himself among the
rest. The only motto the next large com
pany carried was, “We’ll go lor Seymour as
w- wenwHor Lae.” The Massachusetts dele
gation, one of the hugest in the line, an
nounced themselves with single sente-nee,
“A few carpet-Iniggers from Massachusetts.”
I he ‘Allc.gli .iiy boys, io.ili-l by the Pitts
burg tanners, attracted as much attention as
any single delegation, a .d appeared .several
hundred strong. The soldi, rs in tho Wash
ington City Printers’ Grant and Colfax Club
aro here in force. There was scarcely a
man in the whole procession who had not
participated in some ol the most memorable
battles of the war. In fact, the column was
made up with the idea ol its being exclu
sively of veterans. In the opinion of politi
cians who have been through the whole
North in the political campaigns during the
war,-uo column has marched which matched
this one.
Nominations.
New Orleans, Oct. 4. The Republicans
have nominated J. 11. Scgher for Congress
the Ist district, L. A. Sheldon for the full
term from the 2d district and J- Wills Me
nard for Coleman’s unexpired term.
Menard is a negro, and announced him
self as a candidate for the nomination in a
circular, from which the following is an ex
tract :
The time has fully conic to test the pro
fessions and principles of those who now
control the Republican party ot Louisiana,
and that it is a sacred duty to themselves
for the colored people to sec that the colored
race is not sold out by a few toadying,
treacherous white Republicans in Louisiana,
as it has been in Georgia. This State is
entitled to seven representatives in Con
gress ; arc not the colored people entitled
to al least two out of this number? Is it not
our plain duty tfct-co that at least two,
if no more, colored citizens are selected to
represent in Congress the 90,000 colored
voters of Louisiana. The ballot means equal
representation as well as equal rights, and
if men are still to be debarred from the halls
of Congress, or even the VV hite House, on
account of the color of their faces, then
reconstruction and Republicanism are lamen
table failures, the reward of the long-op
pressed race will not be adequate, audfthe
great cause of equal rights will not be fin
ished until the colored man is seen in every
department of this Government. It is neces
sary that the Forty-First Congress should
possess more backbone than the present one,
in order to fix a plain provision in the su
preme law of the Republic which shall coo
ler the ballot on every citizen, regardless of
race or color, North, South, East and West.
