Fihkmax’s Badges. —The City Cmiq.
cil have ordered that hereafter all the

aocess to buildings under the pretence
of being firemen.

Accident on the Georgia Road.
The up passenger train, which left
Augusta at half-past twelve yesterday
morning, ran off the track at Dearing,
twenty-five miles from this City. The

the Express agent, was painfully, but
not dangerously, hurt. In consequence
of the accident, the down passenger

and did uot arrive until about ten o'clock
last night.
Du. Bernhardt —We are informed
by I)r. Bernhardt, the eminent optician,
that he positively cannot remain in Au

and he feels compelled to leave us. Our
citizens who have neglected, up to this
time, to secure his services, should do so
immediately:
The following letter from a distin
guished citizen of Augusta, Ga., to
l’rof. Bernhardt, testifying to his profes
sion a! ability, is- centalnlv deserving of
more than passing attention :
August*, G*., Jan. 4, 1867.
I take great pleasure in saying that
the glasses I nave obtained from Prof.
Bernhardt have given me every satisfac
tion.- 1 verily believe them far superior
to any I have used before.

“Black men don't wear uniforms ii
Cuba.'’— Ax- han</e.
Unless there has been a recent change
in the military regulations of that fair
isle, hlafjk men do. wear uniforms ir.
Cuba. At a public review at Hnvaua,
a few years ago, theory ritqr saw, among
several thousand troops, a regiment
composed entirely pf free negroes.
Moreover, while the free negroes of Cuba
wore thus allowed to wear uniforms, the
white natives of the island were ex'
eluded from the army. This is Spanish
despotism, and it is not unlike that radi
cal policy, which would clothe the black
man of the South with suffrage, and
deny it to a large portion of the whites.
Life is Worship. —We have no
sympathy with the spirit of asceticism,
which separates Religion from all secu
lar affairs. We believe that the demands
of religion not only relate to devotion
and worship, hut require, also, secular
morality and civil virtue. The whole
life should be devoted to God. To this
high idea! religion requires every man
to conform. Altars arise, invisible only
to the indifferent and sensual, in the
quiet home—in the halls of pleasure—
in the secret closet of sorrow—in the
breathless chamber of death.
Our business should he religious.
Industry is a duty ; but industry may
be of such a sort as to he criminal in
the judgment of the high sovereign of
all. He requires not only that we
should labor in the spirit of love find
obedience—with such cheerfulness,
fidelity, and energy, as internal motives
inspire.' ‘ And why should industry,
which only Providence can bless, deny
that tribute of prayer to which its bless
ings are,pfomised ?. ~ .„ , ,
And when the harvests of labor are
gathered, Religion is still required to
dignify their enjoyment. The modera
tion it requires will renew’our strength
for labor, and the thankfulness it
awakens will secure that heavenly ap
proval Which assnres us of new rewards.
Without its restraints, success becomes
excess. Under its direction, each secu
lar effort and recompense takes its
place in a career of cordial nud loyal
obedience.
If, ho '-ever, we meet with disaster,
it is Religion which assigns a sacred
ministry to sorrow. The chastened
spirit learns that all its experiences
have been ordered by a Divine control
ler. and are intended for its highest good.
Adversity Upborne with submission to
that Sovereign will. The wounded heart
is opened to new motives to improve
ment, and humility, and filial trust, and
sends forth new issues of virtue, as the
scarred shrubs of Arabia shed frankin
cense and balm.
And when this various experience of
struggle and triumph and defeat shall
have come to tin end, w hat hut Religion
will sustain the worn man of business'
in a dying hour? If practiced in the
high duties he owes to another sphere
of being, he can cheerfully respond to
the summons which calls upon him to
resign tho visible for the invisih e, the
goods of time for the inexhaustible
treasures of eternity. With courage
unabated he can spend his latest
breath in animating encouragements
and sublime consolations to those who
watch and weep hv his bedside, lie
blunts the shaft of dentil with invulnera
ble faith and hope, and he goes forth
into the future world, as an explorer
into anew regime of activity, whose
industry shall perform its tasks upon
more fertile fields aud under balmier
t^kies.
The opinion is false, that Sabbath
devotion is all that religion requires.
It claims the life. The resolve is uu
manly to devote our wasted and de
clining years to spiritual activities.
There should be a universal consecra
tion. This high business presses upon
every human being in every class and
station. There is no effect that con
tributes to the well-being of this life
that may not give its rich tribute to the
other. There is no honorable pursuit
and no innocent experience that may
not prepare us, if rightly used, for in
effable ministries nud enjoyments be
yond the grave.
Short Days. — We complain of the
shortness of the days at the winter sol
stice ; but in most of the great capitals
of Europe the hours of daylight are
more contracted than with us. At St.
Petersburg, for example—a city of more
than .100,000 population, and in lafitndo
60—the sun rises at present at a quarter
past nine, and sets ut quarter before
three. At Archangel, a town of 25,000
population, in latitude 64, the day lasts
only from twenty-four minutes past ten
to twenty-four minutes before two.
At the beginning of the present week
clock time und solar time are nearly the
same, the sun being on the Meridian at
the hour of twelve ; on the 10th of Feb
ruary they will be fifteen minutes apart.
This variation makes the placing of a
permanently correct noon mark an im
possibility. ( , .

The Wah in Candia Tf.uuim.r
Scene axu Loss of Life.—A letter
from Athens to the New York Herald,
in relation to the war in Candia, tin g
describes the fighting at the Cyiiyeut 'of
Arcadioh, heretofore briefly men tiohed :
Areadioti is a convent, situated in a
strong position in the Department of
Retie, rnnos. It was occupied altogether
by five hundred and forty persons, three
hundred and forty-three of whom were
woman and children, leaving one hun
dred and ninety seven men capable of
bearing arms. Upon the 20th Musta
pha Pacha left his headquarters at
Episeopi, with twelve thousand men,
and advanced*. uppu de
manding the surrender of the garrison.
The Cretans have refused and the
1 urkish artillery immediately opened a
tremedons fire upon the place, keeping
up a bombardment two days and nights.
A breach being at lasi, effected in the
walls, the Turks, who had suffered heavy
tßSses, poured into the convent court.
This was surrounded with small cells, in
which the Christians had barricaded
themselves and kept up their fire for six
hours. Finding ail resistance ineffec
tual, the defenders of the convent formed
the desperate resolution of setting fire
to the powder magazine. A monk ap
plied the match. The explosion was
tremendous, hurling Turks and Chris
tians into the air, strewing the neighbor,
hood with corpses. Two' thousand
Turkish sol liers were killed on the spot,
and large numbers wounded. Thirty
nine men and sixty women and children
of the garrison were all that escaped.
1 liese were taken prisoners and carried
off to Rethymnos. The wounded Turks
are daily being brought into’hospital.
Cauea and Souda have received up
wards of a thousand, many being offi
cers—among them being Mustapha
Pacha’s brother-in law. The Turkish
army is reported to he much dispirited
by this disaster.
Important Arrests. —Mr. Mac Lin
spy, formerly a member of the North
Carolina Legislature, and Mr. Joseph
B i.xter, both of Currituck county, were
arrested near the Court House in that
county on Christinas day by the Federal
authorities, for being engaged in the
capture and robbing of a vessel during
the late war, wheu they were not em
ployed in the Confederate army. A man
named Moore was arrested some time
Hince on the same charge, and is now
confined in jail in Elisabeth City, where
those prisoners are also td'be sent.
The Anderson Prisoners. —We are
gratified to learn that the proposed Con,
gressional Inquisition into the case of
Messrs. Keys, Stowers, and Byrum—
who were convicted by a military Com
mission in this city of the murder of
three Federal soldiers in Aderson Dis
trict, in November of last year, were
sentenced to be hung, and were recently
released by Judge Hall, of Delaware,
before whom they were brought upon a
writ of Hu beat Corpus —has been aban
doned. Ihe reason assigned, according
to the Tribune, which burned with self
complacent indignation when Judga
Hall's decision was published, is that
the charges against them “are not
founded in fact.”
Negro Emigration.— T(ie Atlanta
Intelligencer says: “Not a day passes
but large numbers of the negro popula
tion take their departure Westward over
the State ltoad. We nave been informed
that not less than u thousand per week
are thus transported on their way re
joiciug to the rich Mississippi bottoms.
They are collected up in various sections
by agents, and it is said that all sorts of
inducements arc offered them. A group
may be seen at the car shed every day
awaiting shipment.”
