Affairs in Burke.—A friend who
has just travelled over the different dis

freedmen ;ue going to work with a hearty
goodwill, and everybody seems hop<-
ful of a good crop. Nearly all aie
planting largely of corn as well ns cot
ton, so as to have something to eat as
well as to wear.
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. We
accept it as proof that the calmer
thought of the Southern people begins
to appreciate the fact that there is but
one way to re-union—acquiescence in
the law.”

employed throughout the night. The
work of embedding the supports and

present necessarily blockaded at this
point, and all vehicles have to wend their
way up and down town by some other

The Connecticut Election.
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

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.

firm, and that there has been a pretend
ed sale of $220,000 worth of goods
The damages laid are for trespass SIOO

A petition from illennerhasHctt Hose Fire

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.
