Flames were dis¬ covered by policemen about three o’clock n the morning, in the rear of the store f A. K iteostock A Co., or George H. Davis A Co.

The whole fire department responded, but weic unable to make much headway. The buildings in which the the started were located in what is known as the “Iron Front” block, and consisted of five stores, each five stories high, and was the hand somest in the city. The block was soon a mass of flames which communicated to buildings on each side and swept across the street, consuming sixteen places of business before they were stopped.

GEORGIA GOLD MINES TO BF, PURCHASED AND OPERATED BY A BOSTON SYNDICATE. Mining circles are syndicate agitated over a ru¬ mor that a Boston is negotiat¬ ing for the purchase of the Dahlouega, Ga., gold mining property. The rumor states that the owner will dispose of all the valuable water power, acqueducts and mines for the sum of $1,500,000. The Boston syndicate, it is btated, have discovered that the gold of the Dahlouega mines can be worked to advantage cheap¬ er than any other known property. Low grade ores, which assay one dollar to the ton, can lie milled for twenty-five cents, leaving a handsome profit. aud In the west ore which averages two three dollars a ton, cannot be worked without loss. The ore of the Dahlonega mines is almast inexhaustible, and it is said the Boston syndicate, if the purchase is made, will work on the system that the greater the output the greater the profit.

A A dispatch from Dallas, Texas, says: company with a capital of a million and a half has been organized to reclaim a hundred thousand acres of land near that city. It will he done by straight¬ ening the channel of Trinity river. The land will be worlh ten million dollars. Mr. and Mrs. IV. L. Murfree, the pa¬ rents of Miss Mary N. Murfree, who lias become so famous as “Charles Egbert Craddock, "are now in Murfrcsboro,Tenn., renovating and refitting the old home, to which they, with their distinguished daughter, have returned to stay. A. Hirsh & Co., the largest dry goods and miiincry house in Birmingham, Ala., was closed on Saturday by the sheriff on attachments aggregating $43,000. About $20,000 of the attachments are in favor of clerks in the stoie and relativta of the firm. The Alabama National bank at¬ tached $19,00J. Two men armed with Wineheatcr rifles were seen iu the vicinity of Iroudalc, Ala., eight miles fnm Birmingham, late they Wednesday afternoon. Soon after dark robbed two citizens half a mile from the town. One of the men robbed re¬ ported description that one of tbe highwaymen filled the of Rube Burrow, the train robber. News comes from Spartanburg, one of the best cotton-growing counties of North Carolina, of a new cotton plant, which, if it is as claimed, will make a wonderful revolution in the agricultural and cotton oil interests of the nation. T. Ferguson, tin experienced cotton planter, claims to have a cotton plant which will produce nothing but cottou seed without the 5iut. Rube Burrow, the train robber, took a ride on the nigbt express train on the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham ruilroad Tuesday night. He was seen and recognized, but no one attempted his capture, lie boarded the train, west bound, at a smalt station iu the western part of Alabama, and rode a few miles across the line into Mississippi. He was alone, but carried a large Winchester rifle and two pistols. Governor Richardson, of South Caro¬ lina, has received a communication from Gen. Marcus J. Wright, at Washington, requesting that maps and descriptions ol his state and its resources be sent him to forward to a new company organized in London for the purpose of investing capital in commerce. Tbe corporation has sufficient capital paid main up to office begin operations, and besides ti e in London, has an agent at IVashington. Treasure in the Transvaal. Daily discoveries are being made all over the Transvaal of new reefs and mines containing gold in paying ardevea quanti¬ ties. The Transvaal mines at¬ tracting Cabinet Ministers from their fo¬ lios, as was instanced the other day when the Colonial Secretary took the post of Secretary to the Consolidated Investment Company of Johannesburg, a company that, with a capital of £175,000, is al¬ ready in the way of making by rent# alone of properties purchased for £75 000 about £30,000 per annum, and likely to carry on one of the largest bus' nesses in South Africa. Its scrip is no issued yet, but as much as seventy-fivo per cent, premium has been offered foi shares in the company. The gold ex¬ ported from the Cape last month amounted to 24,000 ounces, valued at £83,000, and the total value of gold ex¬ ported for the last eight months amounted to £529,650. The output of gold from the Itandt last month is esti mated at 36,000 ounces, of which on* company alone, the i.anglatigh, con tributes 6500 ounces. There is no doubt that this country should attract the attention of Americans in another way as a great outlet for their trade in machinery and other tilings. Much exjienses and loss are incurred by a want of knowledge of mining and the want of proper machinery. There is a field for an enterprising firm. The country of the Matabcle is about to be opened up by a company to whom a royal charter has been granted, and in all directions arc signs of enterprise such as is only known where mining is carried on on a large scale .—New York Sun.

Hooper, a well-known sea captain, while sitting in the Astor House rotunda yesterday, gave an inter¬ esting account of Cayenne, from which place he had just returned. In talking about that far away spot, Captain Hooper said: “Cayenne is in five degrees north lati¬ tude, aud close to the equator, and is a very unhealthy place. It is known as the Botany Bay for France, which many a Frenchman has discovered to his sorrow. To speak of Cayenne to a French crimi¬ nal will strike terror to his heart, for onee sent there he can never return to this country again, as the sentence in all eases is for life. Tnere are three thousand prisoners there, while ou the island of Salut, off Cayenne, there are ten thou¬ sand aud more. “After a period of good behavior, prisoners get a sort of ticket-of-leave. Among these ticket-of-eave men are some of the wealthiest men of Cayenne, who, when the prison bell tolls at night, are obliged to walk to their cells. “The harbor is a very fine one,although it is so shallow in many places that very few large vessels can sail into it. “There is hardly ever an escape from the prison at Cayenne, as the country is mountainous and rugged to such a degree that it would be dangerous to make the attempt. Throughout the mountain passes are to be found wild beasts and ana¬ condas, the knowledge of which alone prevents the prisoners from attempting to escape. For miles around, there are rich gold mines, which are visited only by those possessing the courage to brave the dangers and deathly fevers and mala¬ ria lurking near. The Cayenne colored men are often seen trudging along, their big, brawny backs bending under a heavy load of golden nuggets and other valuables, gathered here and there along the mountain side. The road to the mines presents a ghastly sight, as here and there along the way are to be seen the skeletons of white men, who, inspired by the stories of the golden-veined country, sacrificed their lives in the chase for wealth. Should a company be organized to prospect and mine the Mountains of Cayenne, the California days of ’59 would be nothing in comparison to the stam¬ pede that would be made for the gold fields of Cayenne .”—New Yorl Star. French Politicians. According to a French arithmetician, 178 members of the last French chamber were thin, while only 97 were fat, and the remainder were betwixt and between; 184 deputies were tall, 121 small and the rest of middle size. As to hair and whiskers, 131 wore beards, while 85 were shaven; 173 sported the manly musioxhe, while 68 favored - -n. tton chop” whiskers a la M. Jules Ferry. Finally, 438 were smokers, and 139 abstained from the use of tobacco. Birmingham, England, employes 1009 umbrella-makers.
