Last night about nlno o'clock, tho three
story brick building, situated east of tho Mar
ket on Bryan and St. Julian streets, was dis
covered to ho on flro in tho. third story, near
the north west corner. Tho fire at one time,
threatened destruction to the entire portion 01
the block where it originated. Tho firemen were
soon on the ground, and quickly made the at'
taehments of their hose to tho Firo Plugs in the
vicinity, and commenced operations to ex
tinguish tho flames, they worked with a bettei
will than ever, to save that beautiful building,
which is one of the many ornaments that adorn
and beautify theancieut city of Oglethorpe.
The block is tho propel ty of tho ejlute o.
Waring, and Is insured.)
i Ur. 8. Wilinot, Jeweler, occupied the cornet
fronting on tho maiket, running through from
Biyan to St. Juliau street. Hia loss, by dam*
age ol water, docs not amount to $500. •
Tho secflnd and third stories of tho block, on
thenortbweat corner, wero occupied by Mesrrs.
Carey & Powelson, photographers and Dagucr-
reotypists. Their lot*, by’ fire and water, is
13,600. No Insurance. Messrs. O. & P. had
$3,200 worth of pictures finished and ready for
dtlivery, which wero all lost.
On the south-west corner, aud on tho .«cond
stoiy, were the dental rooms of Dr. Johnson.
'His loss, by water and damage to hia goods by
removal, is $300.
Above the dental rooms of Dr. Johnson woe
the establishment of Mr. J. W. Miller, photo
grapher and deguerreotypist. His loss, by fire
and water, is $2,500—insured for $2,000 in u
Philadelphia office.
Adjoiniugtho Jewelry establishment of Mr

Zogbanm A Co. Their goods were removed
from the bui'ding. Their loss will not exceed
$400.
Mr. Jaoob Hoaenband, occupied the third store

stock comprising clothing and gontlcman’s
wearing eppnrd was very badly damaged by
water—his low will bo about $5,000, no ln-
•aranco.
. The fire destroyed tho central portioim of the 1
threo hips of tho roof, running cast and west; it
will cost about $7000'to repair tho dnmago
the block has sustained by firo aud water. By
half past tea o’clock tho firemen had thorough
ly extinguished the flames. When tho Are
ocoored the wind was blowing quite fresh from
the north west, it soon died away, almost to n
calm, or otheiwisc more eerioua damage would
have been dono to tho block. Tho loss is some
eighteen to twenly thousand dollars, moro thou
halfof whicli is covered by insurance.
Steamer Eveboladz—It will bo scon by
the advertisement of Moss Coupcr & Fraser, the
Agents of the above named steamer, that she
will this week take her place on tborouto be
tween Charleston and Jacksonville, Fla., touch
ing at this city on Friday. The Evcrgladu was
recently built at Greonpoint uoar New York, by
Mr. Samuel Sneedcn under the immediate
auperintendancoof Capt. Coxetter, (formerly of
the Carolina) and has cxcellimt accommoda
tions for over one hundred passengers. Bho will
be commanded by Capt. L. M. Coxetter, .Hr.
R.Stuart first officer, and Mr. L. Roux, Purser.
John IinlX and tho Cotton Murker.
It will bo curious if John Bull, who has ever
had hie own way in regard to the price of cotton,
should be proved to have been caught napping
for once, in hia history. Up to this time, while
the French, Germaus, Rustians, Yanxocs—in
fine everybody else—liaabeen laying in a stock,
John baa doggedly stood aloor, scouting tho
Idea of paying high prices, and resolved to buy
no more than his factories consumed from day
to day. Meantime the market barcontinue.-l to
advance, with constantly accumulating evi
dence of a short crop.
In vain did tho Bank of England resort
to Its usual expedient in such cases—that o f
raising its rate of interest. No effect followed,
and now that institution is lowering its figures
And it is even intimated that speculators may
take hold of our staple with to much energy as
to carry up the price a penny or two higher.
There Is no telling indeed what may bo the ro-
Nt of their action should it soon become evi-
Vttbat the crop is not to lu aver two and
thtwcuarter millions.
Btilnmuch os tho chances seem to bo against
the English spinners it i3 too eoou to toy that
they arekiot to come off successful after all. Some
time mJstelapso before it will bo decided who.,
ther tjse victory la to be with tho bulla or the
bears.! Tho former are now in the ascendant.
We only hope they may continue do to tho end
of the contest.
•pain and Sir. Buohanart’.i Election.
Accounts from Spain go to chow that the
6panish Ministry aud people are by no means
well pleased with the result of our Presidential
election. Tho Dons don’t like Mr. Buchanan*
They reraunber IhoOitcod Manllesto, and
have not forgotten that bis waa the first name
signed to that paper. They think, or affjct to
think, that he haa au invinoible determination
to try his hand at tho acquisition of their bc.iu-
jifal island of Cuba; and the correspondents
of oorBlack Republican jouruala inform us that
the Spanish authorities, assuming that they
are to bo assailed, will proceed at once to jut
Cuba in a position of defenco.
Tho good book tells aB.tlmt” Tho wicked fleet
when no man puraueth.”* Bo it is with -the
Spanish masters of Cuba. Ths.yara conscious
that theirs Is an unrighteous possesion of that
Island, and so are on the alert to ward
yorts to wrest it from their grasp. Tjreyhad
better prepare to submit to what Is inevitable;

rceive a round sum of gold from Undo Sam in

(From tho Philadelphia Evening Bulletin )
How A Philadelphia Tailor Paid a Bet
as this Election.—Somotlmo before the late
•lection, u Southern ndmircr of Mr. Bucbauan
made a bet with hia tailor, a Philadelphian and
a Fremontor, on tho result of tho oleotion. The
iui was u suit of clothea ugaitiut their value in
money, that John Charles would cany the day.
Tho Southern gentleman, of course, won the
money, and upon the occasion of a visit to the
oity within a lew days, tho suit of clothes was
font home to him at his hotel. Now the wln-
ucr of the bet is wont to be attired in the
height of tho fashion, and bis surprise may be
imagined when it is stated that the waggish
schncider had sent him a full suit of sober drab,
cut after tho strictest Quaker JOahion, collarless
uud without aught superfluous. There had been
no stipulation aa to what kind of a suit was to
ho made, and the Southerner began to conclude
ill it hia tailor “had him.” after all. But the
recipient ot tho garments was equal to the oc
casion; ho mounted tho drabs, and during the
early part of this week peoplo were rather
astonished ut seeing lu the streets, at the
hotels,and at tho thcutro9,a gontloman attired
In “plulu clothes,” aud wearing a moustache
and a fashionable beaver. The Southerner
started home on Wednesday, carrying his new
clothes away on his back.
Loss of the Schooner John J. Tailor.
The loss of the Taylor has, by many, been re
garded as a certulntv, for Rome time post; yet
wo have, up to this time, delayed announcing
tho facts, in tho hope that sho might yet be
sale. Hero they are; the John J. Taylor, Ben
act C. Anderson, Master, sailed from New Or-
icaua tor this port about the 6th of August last,
aud has not since been heard of. Then can
oo little' doubt that she foundered at sea lo.the
gale of tho 12 th of the same mouth. The Tty-
tor was owned by Messrs. W. G. Ferris A Son,
j! this place.
Mrs. E. Moore and her daughter, Martha,
were passengers on this unfortunate vessel.—
Tampa Petitmvlar, Dec. 20.
Richmond, Va., Dec. 27.—There has been,
"or several days past, considerable excitement
here and in adjuluing couutiee, iu referrence
o uu apprehemded rising of the negroes
Examination were made of the negro quarters
•u several plantations not distant from Rich*
nonti. some days ogo, when arms and amtnu-
iitlou were found in possession of the slaves,
t was thought they purposed making a de-
noustraliocduclug tho holidays, but thus far
.11 is quiet, and apprehensions of danger have
mbeided.
“How did you feel,” asked a sympathetic
ady, of a fireman, who bad been resoued with
■jreut difficulty from a burning building, into
which bo had heroically ventured—“how did
you feel ns you were lying there In tho flames?”
‘Scorched and smoky, ma’am,” waa the blunt
and expressivo reply.
New York, Dec. 29.—The steamer Tenues-
•ce nut into Norfork on Saturday In a disabled
