Firemen’* Election—Addrew of
Hon. Foster Blodyet.
At a regular meeting of Mechanic
fin Company, held at their Hall, on
Monday evening, June 3, the following
officer* were elected for the ensuing
year:
President— Fohtk* Blodgett.
Vice Pretrident— Peter Haxsberger.

lit Lieut.—Kent Buell.
3ud Lieut.—Gao. Rubt.
Pipemau—Stehikx Frank.
Aaat. Pipeman—J. Darts. r~
Treasurer—ff*. Fix.
Secretary—Louis Sculler.
The President, on taking the chair,
delivered the following address:
Firemen of M Mechmic”
Independent Fire Company:
The compliment of a unanimous re
election to the Presidency of your Com
pany, which you have tendered me, i*
one which I heartily appreciate, and
for which I return yon my sinoerest
acknowledgements.
For rears we have been associated,
and I can truly state that no circum
stance has ev£r occurred to mar in the
slightest degree the harmony which
should always distinguish organisations
like ours. Speaking for myself, I (eel
that I hut speak for every member of
“ Mechanic ” when I say, that all recol
lections which animate us are of the
most pleasureable character, and that in
old age, when no longer able to perform
the duties of charity, In which we are
now united, we can recur to our past
with feelings of pride.
I accept the position to which I have
been chosen, and I assure you that my
best energies shall be exerted in your
'behalf, as well as in the behalf of all
kindred organizations of our city. No
petty feeling of envy stirs the bosom
of an Augusta Fireman. Honor due to
one is shared by all. The spirit of
generous rivalry which excites our
brothers to “ deeds of high emprise,”
in the cause of humanity, is laudable in
the extreme. No city in the Union can
boast of a more devoted band; no wreaths
are greener, or fresher, than those which
encircle their brows.
With this expression of my feelings
at your kindness, it might be proper
that I should stop. Knowing each other
as we do, the accumulation of words
•night be regarded as unnecessary, but
I cannot resist the opportunity of de
claring my gratification at tho unanimi
ty which characterizes you, whom 1 may
properly designate as the representative
mechanics of Augusta. You have pro
ven yourselves my friends amidst the
beating of the storm raging around us.
You are true and tried, as tempered
steel; while those in whom timidity has
usurped the place of reason are en
deavoring to burrow in places of refuge,
you come out in the glorious sunlight,
and utter no sentiment of doubtful im
port. You have not falsified your past
record, hut, as ever, you stand forward
with the determination to do, and the
courage to avow. Let us never forget
that there is a crown for the courageous
—contempt for the cur.
And while all who know you are fa
miliar with your inestimable services as
firemen, your conduct as citizens is
equally deserving of praise. And as
time passes on, I am convinced still
more of the truth of the opinion I have
ever entertained, that the best citizens
generally are those who, aside from
their daily pursuits, are united in volun
tary labors of love and charity. That
feeling of sympathy which urges them
to the performance of good works
towards a particular class of suffering,
also opens their hearts to the relief
of all the distressed of every character.
The sordid accumulations of wealth
may, possibly, in time briug a sort of
pleasure to the possessor, but there is no
delight so transcendant as that of doing
good.
As citizens, it in a great measure
depends upon ourselves whether our
future shall be happy aud prosperous
or clouded and burdensome. We have
to shake off the prejudices and opinions
of the past as the lion shakes the dew
drops from his mane. The voices of
lamentation and repining mast cease,
and our highest ambition must be
for the good of our whole country, or
we are hut entering upon the threshold of
new disasters. Famous among the na
tions of the earth have been the people
of America ; and whether it be the
home of our nativity, or the home of our
adoption, the South has been hitherto
honored and envied. Let not that en
ergy which has always distinguished
the American citizen become weakened
now, but rather let him renew his vows
of fealty to his country and gird his
loins with new ardor for the race'of
prosperity. We have a glorious country,
upon which nature has showered with a
liberal hand her choicest favors. We
have every incentive to industry, to suc
cess, to a glowing future—let us not
waste our opportunities, hut arouse
from our threatened apathy, and achieve
the glittering prize it is in our power to
grasp. Success is not accomplished
without labor. Fortune comes not to
the laggard.
My earnest efforts shall be in aid of
the redemption of our land from the
evils by which it is environed. My
humble abilities shall not be irittered
away in captious criticism, or in snarl
ing at that which I cannot avoid. I
regard it as the highest duty of every
good citizen—a duty which cannot be
too greatly estimated, or too often im
pressed upon the minds of all with
whom he may come in coutact—to assist
in allaying the feelings of bitterness
which he may find to exist, and in the
restoration of our people,to their former
affiliations. Passion has had its day—
let us noiv act in accordance with the
dictates of reason. So only can we
emerge Irom thegloom which surrounds
and overshadows us, to the brightness
of anew born day.
In such a work your services can he
of the greatest avail. Most oi you be
long to a class which has more to lose
by a disorganized state ot society than
any other. The agriculturist can always
find employment and renumeration, for
the soil pay* no respect to men’s political
opinions ; and the merchant pursues a
business which to a greater or less ex
tent must coutinue; but the mechanic,
whose avocation it is to execute the im
provements of the age, discovers his
greatest reward in peace, for then only
can the spirit of progress oblainduedevel
opment. With business paralyzed and
euergy prostrated, the mechanic knows
his “occupation’s gone.”
Let us not lose confidence in our
selves. Let us piofit by the sorrowful ex
periences of the past, and while banded
together for the protection of the lives
of our fellow beings from the ravages of
fire, also struggle to quench the flame of
discord, and preserve the life of our
country. No nobler employment can
• engage yonr services. No holier reward
can he won than that which we shall be
entitled to receive. Independently pur
-1 suing the course pointed out by patriot
ism—regarding as the “ idle wind ” the
carping of disappointed political Mu
tants, and the mouthing* of thoee who
can only exist by pandering to unsound
opinion*—wc can deserve well ol our
country, no matter how small may be
our influence, or bow lowly our station.
On motion of Wm. O. Bohler, the
daily paper* of oor city were requested
to publish the list of officers elected, to
gether with the address of the President,
and that a committee of three be ap
pointed to procure a copy of the address,
and furnish it to the different papers.
Wm. O. Bohler, A. J. Smith and J.
Prager were appointed aaid committee.

Alteration at Cancers Hall.
We are more than ordinarily pleased
to learn that this “ Old Drury ” is
determined to keep up with the limes.
A combination of prominent citizens
has been formed for the purpose of
altering and reconstructing this old
established ‘‘home of the drama.” That
Augusta requires some place of resort
for the legitimate amusement of her
citizens—where all the modern attributes
of construction, elegance, and beauty
that should represent in her public
gatherings the refinement and good
taste that is part and parcel of her
growth—is apparent to the most casual
ooserver, and those who question the
success of un institution of this kind,
carried on in the proper spirit and with
consistent enterprise, show at once but
little faith in the future of our beautiful
City. With this essential object before
those that are interested, they intend to
make the “Old Augusta” a first class
Theatre, replete with all the accessories
of modern art as applied to decoration,
ventilation, illumination, scenery, stage,
and other conveniences. Wfe congratu
late I. P. Girardev, Esq., on his public
spirit, and the advantages obtained by
the experience of H. M. Akeroyd, the
architeot employed, for the regeneration
of this time-honored temple of the
Muses.
County Court.
The only case tried on yesterday was
that of Peter Elder vs. Henry Moore,
being an action for wages, verdict for
the Plaintiff for $48.80, being a part of
the amount claimed.
Recorder’s Court.
There was an unusual attendance be
fore this tribunal on yesterday. There
were five cases of Negroes, for violating
the 18th section, four of which were fined
$5 and costs; and one, (or resisting an
officer, fined $lO and 20 days in the
streets. Three whites were also up for
tampering with the same section, two of
whom were fined $lO each aud costs,
and one $5.
California Wheat.
We noticed at the store of J. M.
Clark & Sons on yesterday, a sample
of beautiful white wheat, from Cali
fornia, which is being ground at the
Augusta Mills. This looks like anew
era in the course of trade.
Respited.
We learn that Governor Jenkins has
granted a respite to the negro boy,
Carter Heard, who has been confined in
the jail of Fulton county, under sentence
of death for the murder of young Ham
mond.
Confidence (jinine.
We learn that a gentleman from the
country received a check on Branch,
Sons & Cos., on yesterday, from a
stranger stopping at one of our hotels,
for SSO. It was signed J. Baggs, and
on presenting it at the counter of the
above firm, the unsuspecting victim was
informed that no such a man as J,
Baggs had any account there. Return
ing to the hotel, Mr. Baggs was not to
be found, and nobody about the hotel
knew anything about him.
Attempt at Burglary.
A daring attempt was made on Monday
night to enter the Banking House of
Messrs. Branch, Sons & Cos., in this city.
The burglars succeeded first in getting
into the rear of the premises through
an adjoining lot, from which also they
forced the cellar door, and got into the
cellar under the banking house. From
here they commenced boring through
the fiodr, and had made a number of
holes, when for some reason, known
only to them, the work was abandoned-
Had they got into the banking house,
the tedious and very difficult work of
forcing the vault con(ronted them, before
any spoils of value would have been
available.
Address of Hon. Foster Blodgett.
At the request of the members of
“Mechanic Independent Fire Company,”
2d Division, we publish the address of
Hon. Foster Blodgett, delivered on the
occasion of his unanimous refilection as
President of that Company, on Monday
night. We commend the address to the
careful perusal not only of the Firemeu
of our city, but of all liberal minded and
progressive citizens. It evinces a just
appreciation of energy, and industry j
which are to be the prime agencies in
the work of restoring the country to a
condition of prosperity.
Extinguishing Fireworks.
The city authorities of Boston have
resolved to prohibit the use of all kinds
of fireworks on the coming Fourth of
July, aud thereby save the sixty thou
sand Hollars usually appropriated for
that Chinese element of the annual cel
ebrations. This is a wise and econom
ical reform in a custom more hon
ored iu the breach than the observance,
and one that might very properly be
imitated in ull our cities, where a large
amount of both public and private
money is annually thrown away in the
childish display of fireworks, and the
useless explosion oi patriotic gun
powder.

FROM RALEIGH.
Raleigh, N. C., June 3.
The ceremonies at the City Cemetery
commenced at noon tu-day, in connec
tion with the dedication of the mouu
ment erected to the father of the Presi
dent. It is a simple shaft, on red
limestone, ten feet high, with an orna
mental cap. The inscription is as
follows: “In memory of Jacob John
son, an honest man, beloved and
respected by all who knew him. Born
ease caused by an over effort in saving
the life of a friend.”
The President and party accompanied
by Governor Worth, General Sickles,
and others, having reached the ceme
tery in carriages, were conducted to a
platform near to the monument. A
very large number of spectators was
present, all apparently deeply interested
in the ceremonies. After preliminary
religions exercises, Hon. D. L. Swain,
L.L.D., President of the State Univer
sity, delivered an address, in which he
traced the history of Raleigh, and iu
this connection alluded to Jacob John
son, who by a deed of noble daring,
saved the lives, from drowning, of Hen
dersou and Calluin, at'the ultimate cost
of his own —passing away eventually, a
martyr to humanity. The following
obituary notice, written by Col. Hender
son, the editor of the Raleigh Star, is
copied irom that paper of the 12th of
January, 1812: “Died in this city on
Saturday last, Jacob Johnson, who had
for many years occupied an hutnDle but
useful station. He was city constable,
sexton, and porter to the State Bank.
In his last illness he was visited by the
principal inhabitants ot the city, by all
of whom he was esteemed for his hon
esty, sobriety, industry, and humane,
friendly disposition. Among all by
whom he was known and esteemed,
none lament him more, except, perhaps,
his own relations, than the publisher of
this paper; for he owes his life, on a
certain particular occasion, to the bold
ness and humanity of Mr. Johnson,”
The orator, among other things, al
luded to the fact that three natives oi
the State—Jackson, Polk, uad Johnson
—have passed from obscurity and pov
erty, in North Carolina, to comparative
opulence and eminence in Tenneeeee,
and hence to the higheet poiut of honor
in the Union and the world. Dr. Bwan
oonclnded M follow*:
Lioa“Of the history of the son of Jacob
Johnson, who commenced life nnder
; such comparatively unfavorable ana
pices, this is not the time to apeak.
Tbs companion of hie boyhood, I-eorf
ides Polk, whose character I have
attempted to portray, has passed the
portal of the grave. The President of
the U nited States is before you, scarcely
more time worn than the Lieutenant
General seemed at our last interview.
His career in life thus far is one of the
most remarkable in any age or nation.
His country and the world have decided
between the two representative men of
the two parties which divided North
Carolina and the South, that he who
achieved successes, if not more pure
and patriotic, was as brave, as disin
terested, and wiser, than his compeer.
The mementoes of past services are
before yon. The crossed swords may
be suspended as a memento of the past,
and a warning for the future. The
blood oi the noblest heroes on both
sides of the conflict will soon form a
union in the veins of the descendants
of those who met in deadly strife on
well fought fields. The most patriotic
hearts, North aud South, East and West,
already beat in unison. The time has
arrived when patriotism, not less than
Christianity, requires the forgiveness of
all that we cannot forget; the crossed
swords on the monument, surmounted
by the stripes and stars, form an appro
priate memorial association for the
Confederate and Union dead, and 110
strife should be impressed above their
graves, bnt patriotic and generous
emulation to do most to promote har
mony and restore the more perfect
union designed by the constitution of
oor common country.
The ceremonies were closed with the
benediction.
Two colored girls laid large bunches
of the choicest flowers on the grave of
Jacob Johnson.
The President, accompanied by Secre
tary Seward, Post Master General Ran
dall, and others of the party, were
escorted to the Capitol, to day, at 2
o’clock, by Governor Worth, and
Major General Sickles and Staff, and a
number of prominent military officers
and civilians, including the Mavor of
Raleigh.
The reception took place in the hall
of the House of Commons. The visitors,
after saluting the President, were in
troduced severally to Secretary Seward,
Post Master General Randall, aud Gen
Sickles.
The deaf mutes from the State Asylum
were among the many who paid their
respects. Whites and blacks were all
treated with the same courtesy. The
greeting received by the President from
all persons was warm and cheerful.
Old as well as young congratulated him
on his visit to his native town, aud every
body appear to be happy.
This afternoon the President and
party attended the State dinner at the
Yarborough House. The entertain
ment was in elegant style. No toasts
were drank nor speeches made. The
President, in company with Secretary
Seward, Postmaster General Randall
and others, this afternoon visited the
several State chartitable institutions in
the vicinity. They leave to-morrow to
attend the commencement at Chapel
Hill.

By order of the President, through

order, denounces Wells in strong terms,
and removes him, appointing Thos. J.
Durant in his place. Sheridan also

appointed William Baker in his place.
Sheridan’s removal ot Gov. Wells is

FROM MEXICO.
Surrender of Maximilian.
Nkw Orleans, June 3.
A telegram from Galveston Bays that
a letter from Queretaro (date not given))
says Maximiliun and his principal offi
cers gave up their swords to Escobedo
himself. The entire army of Maximilian,
with artillery and ammunition wagons,
surrendered. The following chiefs are
prisoners: Maximilian, Mejia, Castillo,
Carsanans, Guzon, Mereno, Alveria,
Maximo Campas, and Miramon. The
latter was captured on the streets of the
City shortly after the surrender. Men
dez alone is missing. Over two hundred
subaltern officers were also captured
with Maximo Campas, and reported by
a private letter as having been shot on
the 16th.
Maximilian had a severe attack of
dysentery on the evening of the 15th,
and a physician was sent him by Esco
bedo. Private correspondence from San
Luis says he has recovered, and is
expected in that city, and probably
crossed over into the United States.
A report says the Austrians removed
Lopez and sold Fort Lacruse with three
thousand men. This is denied in the
official reports ot Escobedo, who an
nounces the death of Colonel Louis
Cavalo, of Labuca, and Colonel Miguel
Palcapalcions.
