The New York Tribune says: “That Governor Brown, of Georgia, should sustain the reconstruction plan of Con gress will astonish the country—the South even more than the North.

The New York Herald draws the folhtwicjg. parallel between the opposing candidates for Oowgtess in that State the election iu which comes off in April next: The election in Connecticut, which comes oil' early in April, will be a very curious and interesting contest, perhaps the most important ever had in this country, and will he no doubt watched with intense interest by the public at large. There are two candidates for Congress of the same name nominated for the Bridgeport (Fourth) district. One of them, Mr. Wm. H. Barnum. the nominee of the Democrats, is an iron manufacturer, wl o lepresents the genu ine Yankee, and all that is respectable and truthful in that character—repre sents, too, the old Jacksonian Democ racy as it existed before the day* of poor Pierce, and poorer Buchanan. He is a religious man and an unmixed cold water iuau. The other Barnum, Phiueas TANARUS., the nominee of the Radicals, is a lair representative of the wooden nut meg Yankee, whose character is admi rably set forth and illustruted iu his autobiography. It any one who has access to his library iu Bridgeport would make & few extracts from that valuable book, show in; how he managed the woolly horse, the Fegee mermaid, the nigger turned white, and the white man turned nigger, the fat woman and the bearded woman, the learned seal, the Greenland whale, Tom Thumb, Jenny Lind, the petrified horse made of plaster of Paris, the wild buffalo hunt in Hobo ken, ihe baby show, the dog show, the shangh® chicken show, and the many monstrosities whereof that volume so and an g nuously treats, it would be con tributing a good deal towards the proper understanding of a wooden nutmeg Connecticut politician. The Radicals have selected I’hineas T. Barnum as their standard hearer, with the expecta tion that he will be able, from his long experience as a showman, to manage the menagerie of Congress. The result of this election will be waited for with great anxiety all over the world. Thunder. —The Columbia South Carolinian of Feb 27th thus discuseth: Thunder — We were treated yester day to the good old familiar sounds of heaven's artillery, and an attendant shower. The trees are laden with blossoms, that give forth sweet incense ; the gar dens are green with young plants and vegetables ; the spring birds begin to make music; the air is balmy ; one or two musquitoes have ventured a ser enade ; and the nights are too warm for more than three in a bed. Wm. A. Putney, of Putney, Knight A Hamlin, a large dry goods concern, in Chicago, 111., has commenced action against his partners. Knight and Hamlin of Chicago, and against Seth Otis and Horace B. CTaflin of New York. 17e alleges that the former have combined with the two latter to oust him from the firm, and that there has been a pretend ed sale of $220,000 worth of goods The damages laid are for trespass SIOO - action on the case $50,000.

Salet in a small way from storo are inado at $ l 00. BACON—Tho market is quiet, and prices are a shade easier. —A Maine boy, who amused himself some years ago by planting apple seeds, netted a profit of S7OO from his orcha.d last year. —There are 663 bars where wine, b er, and liquors are sold in Detroit, and 35 churches. What a ha’penny worth ot the bread of life to this intolerable quantity of sack! —The Hoods in the region of Vi n- C uc-s, Indiana are creator and more destructive than ever b fore, except the the single instance of the are it flood of 1828. The dkmaje s enormous. —The American Institute has decided to hold a World’s Fair at New York in 1876, beginning on the 4th of July, the the centennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. —The Boston Pont, referring to the recent organization of a Congressional temperance societvat Washington, liiits that it was done in self defence by the members to avoid the necessity of treat ing their visiting constituents at present Washington prices. —Some En.-lish gentlemen with ten millions of dollars cash eapital, re cently arrived in New York, en route to the cotton plantations, where they proposed to invest ; but finding politics so unsettled, they concluded to return home and carry back their money. —The Nobles’ Gazette of Moscow, lately contained this curious phrase : “Until now, thanks to the invisible pro tection of Providence, the cholera has attacked only the lower clases, but at present the terrible scourge attacks the middle class and even the nobility.” REGISTRY LIST OPENED.

Mr. Platt being present, advocated tho petition, and presented the following com munication which was re and by the Clerk ; CHIEF ENGINEER’S OFFICE, 1 Augusta Firs !■ Augusta, Ga., Feb. 28, 1867. J To Hie Honor, the Mayor, and Members ot the City Council of Augusta, Qa. : 1 Gentlemen : Some months ago, yonr honorable body promised u> give “Blunner hassoit llose Company” (anew Company recently organized under the old Charter of No* 6) a now llose Carriage and set of Hose. To do this, will coat at least $2,700. W ith the now Hose Carriages and Hose that havo been already ordered for other Companies, I think the Fiflft Department has already enough apparatus for that branch of the service. But I do not wish to be understood as objecting to Bienner bassett Hose Company having tho Hose and Hoso Carriage proposed. Far from it. The Company is composed of gallaut men, is located in a portion of the City where it is greatly needed, and will, 1 ho doubt, do efficient service, and, therofore, should be furnished with a good apparatus. I pro pose, however, aii exchange, which, I think, will be of benefit to the City and Depart ment. Anew Hose Carriage has already been ordered for Vigiiaut, No. 3, and is now nearly ready lor shipment. At a meeting of that Company, recently helu, the members unanimously declared iu lavor of having a Steam Fire Engine, and ex pressed their willingness to give up the new Hose Carriage and Hose, and the Engine they now have, if Council would furnish them a Steamer. Now, with $1,500 more, added to the $2,700 that the Hose and Carriage promised “Blennerhassctt” will cost, a now Steam Fire Engine can be purchased, and I respectfully suggest to your Houorable body, that the Hose Car riage and llose intended for No. 3, and nearly finished, be given to “Blenuerhus sett,” and that a Steam Fire Engine be ordered for No. 3. By this means we will have another Steamer addod to our De partment, at a cost of only $1,500 more than the City Council has already agreed to pay for apparatus, aud it certainly needs nv> argument io prove that such addition will give greater security against fire and render the Department still more efficient. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, J. B. Platt, Chief Engineer A. r . D. The communication was read aud re ceived.
