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.
