Important Te*t «*f Steam Engine*.
A leading feature of the lemi-annual
parade ou Friday, wa» a teal, tong con
templated by Chief Engineer, ’J. B.
Platt, Eaq., to show the advantage of
applying a steamer directly to the hr
drants- He first attached SQO feet of
hoie to the hydrant, with an inch uozzle,
throagh which a stream of 72 feet 5
inches was thrown. A j nozzle was
then used, and threw 81 feet. This was
a fair test of the full capacity of the
hydrant.
The steamer was then attached to tho
hydrant, and played 154 fe*i 8 inches,
through an inch nozale ; and through a
| nozzle the distance reached was 163
feet 3 inches.
Another 500 feet of hose was then run
off. and two streams through j nozzles
were thrown 97 feet 4 iuches.
Six hundred feet of hose was then
put on, the pipe reaching to within
about 100 feet ot the base of the bell
tower, when a stream was thrown 15
feet over the lightning rod on the tower,
through a i nozzle.
Iu no instance during the tests did
the amount of steam exceed 90 pounds.
The water pressure was 155 pounds.
Citizen, No. 8, kindly volunteered the
use of their hose to aid the steamer in
these tests, though it wns feared by
many that no hose could stand the pres
sure.
The tests were highly successful in
every respect, and proved conclusively
the great advantage of steamers, used iu
this way, over the power furnished by
the hydrants or hand engines.
The Chief Engineer—who is enthu
siastic in every measure that cau add
to the efficiency of the Fire Department—
designs at a proper time to test the prac
tieability of drawing water with steamers
through the main pipes from the basin, in
case of the interruption of any part of
the water works from floods or other
causes.
Entertainment Monday Night.—
The Thespian Entertainment for the
benefit of the poor of the county, to be
■liven on Monday night, will be at
Clara’s Hall, over the Drug Store of
Stevenson & Shelton, and not at Con
cert Hall, as stated.
As the object of the entertainment is
one of pure benevolence, there will be
no free list; the ladies and gentlemen
who take part in the performance will
pay at the door the same as others.
The necessities of the poor of the
county are very urgent, and no appeal
is needed to induce our citizens to en
courage the liberal efforts of those who
seek to combine the holy office of char
ity, with innocent amusement.
Semi-Annual Parade. —The Semi
Annual .Parade of the Augusta Fire
Department passed off very pleasantly
on Friday. Agreeable to the order of
the day, the Companies formed in
Greene street, near the Bell Tower.
Drawn up in regular order, attired in
their handsome uniforms, with thoir
machines and hose reels glistening
like new dollars—not greenback dol
lars—the column presented a handsome
appearance. About half past three, the
column moved in the following order:
1. Pioneer Hook and Ladder.
2. Georgia Independent, First Di
vision.
3. Washington, No. 1, manned by
their own men, and by Blennerhassctti
No. C.
4. Clinch Steamer, No. 2.
5. Vigilant, No. 3.
6. Gazelle, No. 4.
7. Augusta, No. 5.
8. Richmond, No. 7.
9. Citizen, No. 8.
The Mechanic, Second Division, In
dependent Fire Company did not join
in the procession on account of the
death of Mr. Thomas, a member of
that Company.
The column moved down Clreene to
Centre street, through to Broad,
thence up Broad to Cumming, through
Cununing to Greene, and back to ihe
Bell Tower, where the parade was
dismissed, and several of the Compa'
uies repaired to different cisterns to try
their machines. No prizes were offered!
and the only coutest was between the
Georgia Independent and Vigilant, No.
3, in which the Vigilant threw 150
feet, and the Georgia 135 feet, through
500 feet of hose.
Augusta, No. 5, and Richmond, No.
7, were escorted up Broad to the corner
ot Campbell street, where they played
off for a few moments, but had uo con
test.
Washington, No. 1, played from a
cistern at the corner of Greene anu
Jackson, and threw a stream over the
Bell Tower.
The steamer Clinch No. 2, was en
gaged in a very interesting experiment,
of taking water direct from the hydrants,
to which allusion has been made else
where.
The companies dispersed at an early
hour, after which a collation was served
at Washington No. 1.
The ball at night passed off pleas
antly, and closed the festivities of the
day.
We regret to learn that a lad
—a son of Mr. J. B. Wilson—was
run over by one of the engines as they
were passing through Jackson street,
near the Globe hotel, breaking his leg.
German Trade. —Baltimore is about
to establish a lino of steamships, con
necting that port with Bremen. Two
steamships, ot 2,500 tons burthen each,
are at once to be built, and the line iB
to be in operation by February, 1868.
The Balt mere and Ohio Railway are
the managers of the line. The ports of
bavannah aud Charleston, aud the rail
roads connecting with them, are iniss
ing a grand opportunity in allowing the
Western roadß to control the European
lines.
A Real Novelty. —One of the Ute*t
end most useful inventions is the Novel
ty Match, which for safety end econo
my are unsurpassed. There ia a cose
something after the pattern of a tape
measure, and accompanying it is a box
of fifty matches, which can be lit by the
action of tho case and will burn for
some time. The match is lor sale by
Barrett, & Co n Wm. H. Tutt, and
Hansherger & Cos.
A Suggestion. —Our City cotempo
raries, having suggested assistance to
Mr. Jefferson Davis, and to the poor of
Richmond connty, we deem it our place
to suggest something also. We suggest,
therefore, that Mr. Bonus Moore, of the
Chronicle and Sentinel and Mr. Bonus
Stockton, of the Constitutionalist, donate
our one thousand dollars bonus to each
of these praiseworthy objects—say one
give SSOO to the Davis tuud and the other
SSOO to the charity fund of Richmond
county. We think that we have a right
to make these suggestions, because it is
our money, and Mr Davis aud the poor
people of our county have much more
right to it than the Bonus parties to whom
we have referred. Os course they won’t
object, and the ladies whoare engaged in
collecting for the objects named, should
call on them for their donations. If
they give them, as we suggest, we shall
cheerfully credit them with the good
deed, and obligate ourselves to say noth
ing more about the Bonus the rest of
this year.
What say you, “ neighbors ?”
Banking House Troubles in At
lanta.—Considerable excitement has
been created in Atlanta during the last
fe.9 days by the reported disappearance
of Mr. Wildman, the New York partuer
of Brown A Wildman, Bankers—with
a large amount of the funds of the firm.
The supposed defalcation caused the sus
pension of the business in Atlanta, and
much sympathy was manifested for Mr.
Brown, whose htgh integrity and supe
rior business qualities have secured for
him the unlimited confidence of all who
know him. A meeting of the deposi'
tore of the bank was held, in which Mr.
Brown was ex honerated from all blame
in the unfortunate affair, Mr. Wildman
having sustained such a character as
fully justified the confidence reposed in
him. The Intelligencer says a dispatch
was received on Thursday which creates
some hope that there is a mistake in
regard to ihe supposed elopement of
Wildman. The whole matter, says that
paper, is still involved'iu mystery, and a
suspension of public opinion is asked,
until the details are more clearly brought
to light.
P. S. Since the above was written,
the Intelligencer of the 23d has come
to hand, which states that there is no
longer any hope of the solvency of the
firm. Wildman has evidently fled the
country, taking all the funds ot the firm
available in New York? The amount due
depositors is a little over $36,000, and
it w boliovod $ 10.000 more will cover
the liabilities. The conduct of Mr.
Brown iu turning over the books, and
using every means to save depositors
from loss, is highly commended, and
he is universally endorsed in Atlanta as
an honest man.
Dry Goods tn New York. —The
Herald says this business is remarka
bly flat. Prices have decreased fully
one half from the ruling rates in
1865-6. Domestic goods, which last
year met with a ready sale at forty
cents per yard, can now be bought at
twenty five cents. Cloths are at least
thirty per cent, cheaper than they were
last year, and shawls have fallen in
price at least thirty three per cent
I he principal demand nt present is for
domeslic goods, both in the city and
country trade. Prices now show an
upward tendency, in consequence of
the opening of the spring business,
which bids fair to be quite brisk, though
it will by no means equal that of last
season. The proposed new tariff will
put np the prices of silks, satins, linen,
and drapery goods generally. The
spring trade will not commence before
the middle of April, it being fully a
month behind band.
It is hoped that as the season opens
trade will improve ; but all depends on
the demand from the South and West,
which now promises to be small.
A planter in Washington county was
recently asked what he thought of the
new military bill, he replied by asking if
it would prevent him from making cotton.
When assured in the negative, he replied,
“and ii Congress and the bill, Let ’em
rip. I’m going to make cotton.” His
policy, if not piety, is worthy of com
mendation.
The Macon Messenger pleasantly re
minds us that the paragraph headed
‘‘Black as Midnight,” and credited to
the Telegraph, was from the Messenger.
He thinks it must have been as ‘black
as midnight” in onr sanctum, when the
wrong credit was given.
The Pencils.— *• What becomes of
the pins?” is an interrogatory that has
never been satisfactorily answered. It
is so mixed np with the shadowy mys
teries ol the feminine toilet as to defy
solution by masculine barbarians. What
becomes of the pencils? is a query
which every day in the calendar agi
tales the habitues of the counting room,
and especially the corps editorial. They
disappear like the mists of the morning,
and every morning are missed from their
proper places. We shrink in despair
from a solution of their mysterious dis
appearance, and apply to Quinn, whose
supplies appear to be unlimited, aud
are of the best quality.

Alabama, like that of Georgia, has ad
