Flro 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 WUmot was the music store of Messrs. TV. D. Zogbanm A Co. Their goods were removed from the bui'ding. Their loss will not exceed $400. Mr. Jaoob Hoaenband, occupied the third store of the block aud adjoining Messrs Zogbnum Hi? 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.

(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 londition. Several of her passengers have re turned to this city via Baltimore. Another teamer is to bo engaged to carry her mon and provisions to Nicaragua. The steamship James Adger bos been sentto Norfolk to tuko the placo of the Tennessee. Tho Boston Post says, “a deacon who be- y;mo ricli iu a grocery, net a hundred mile from the State Ilouso, used to boast how much as had dono for the causo of temperance, by fixing at least a gallon of water with every gallon of liquor ho sold.
