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. down. WI ■ ■— 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. ass , 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. — The Hi ver.

The Medical College of Breslau,.Prussia, by command of the Government, instituted enquiries in regard to the purity of Dr. Rad way's Pills. The following is a copy ot the report, after a thorough analysis, signed by Professors of the College : 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.” Signed in behalf of the College.

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. John Quincy Adams. Charleston, Oct 5. —A private dispatch from John Quincy Adorns, of Mass., an nounces his'acceptance of an invitation to visit and address the people of this State.
