BY JAMES GARDNER. AIIGIISTA, G Aj THURSDAY MORNING, AUG. 10. IFroin our Evening Edition of Another Fire. About quarter past 2 2 o’clock on Wednesday morning, a Fire broke out in a small oDe story wooden building on Centre-st., next to the corner of Reynold, occupied by Mr. Nicolai, a dyer, and Mr. Stegins, asegar maker. The fire originated in the portion of the bouse occupied by the latter. The flames soon spread to the two adjoining wooden buildings, one occupied by Mr. Peter McMahon, the other by Mr. Perdue, as a grocery. These three buildings were destroyed, as were also a small dwelling in the rear of Mr Perdue’s store, and a stable belonging to J. H. Mann. The property destroyed was of but little value, and fully insured in the offices of the Augusta In surance, and the .£tna Insurance Company in Hartford. The brick building adjoining, occupied by Mr Costello, caught on the roof, and was much in jured by water. It belongs to Dr.«T. Phinizy, and was fully insured. Damage about SBOO. Our new Hook and Ladder Company deserve much credit for their exertions in saving Dr. Phinizy’s building. The Hamburg Fire Com pany also deserve much credit; they did Yeo man’s duty on the occasion. Heavy Robbery — Etcape of the Thievei.—Po liceman Devoe, of the Chiel’s Office, in New York, on Saturday,received information that two Germans were engaged in Wall street in chang ing a large amount of bills of the Farmers’ Bank ol Lancaster, Fa., for gold. The parties were asked why they wished so much gold, and stated that they intended going back to Germany, rnd should take it with them. Their hurry and anxiety to exchange their money ($5,000) for gold, created suspicion in the minds of the bro kers, as well as in that of the officer, and the latter telegraphed to the Bank at Lancaster, in quiring if a robbery had been committed there, but received no answer. In the absence of any good cause to arrest the suspicious characters, no action could with propriety be taken by the po lice. The parties in question, as announced by themselves, left in the St. Louis, for Europe, on Tuesday, and had not been gone more than four hours when the Chief of Police received a letter, from Philadelphia, stating that Mr. Malone, the President of the above bank, had been robbed of $5,000 in bills on that bank, while in a hotel in Philadelphia. He had been paying out money, and left his carpet bag at the hotel. The thieves had been watching him, and they succeeded in carrying it off. Mr. Malone now in vain offers SI,OOO for the recovery oi the $3,000. Americans in the Russian Service.—A considerable number of Americans have gone to St. Petersburg within the last few moi ths.— Eight physicians from ths United States, after having studied some time in Paris, have en tered the Russian service recently ; six were im mediately sent south to Prince Gortschakoff’s command, while the other two were placed in ths military hospitals at St. Petersburg. Anoth er company of three or four are making prepa tions to start. They have entered the service for one year, a less term of service not being al lowed. The pay is 800 roubles annually, while although furnished with everything, the expen ses required to keep up the position are much beyond the salary allowed, and only those who have an income beyond their pay can support the position. This is true of all officers of rank in the Russian army. Nitrate of silver, they say, is coming to be quite an article o( commerce for purposes not generally recognized. It used to be principally employed for marking linen. Then bronchitis came into repute, and nitrate of silver was found to cure it. It is found still later that nothing is so serviceable for dying the hair, and so making old men seem young, and ladies' ages uncertain, as preparations of the nitrate, and that gives it a new start. Fatal Experiment in Swimmino. —A teach er of swimming in New York, whose practice was to fasten a long rope to a around his pu pil’s body and then tow h; along himself on the wharf, while he endeavored to make efforts at swimming, accidentally dropped the rope and befo.e he could recover it again the boy sank and was drowned. The coroner’s jury laid the death of the boy to the teacher’s careless ness. An officer of the fleet in the Baltic communi cates with his friends in Edinburgh in rather a novel way. When ciuising about, he throws his letters into the sea in a bottle, trusting to their being picked up by some English home going vessel and lorwarded to their address. Two of bis epistles, thus consigned to Father Nep tune's direct custody, have come to hand without delay, and it is questionable whether, if sent by regular course, they would have arrived at their destination within the same period. The Alta California says that as a heavy loaded cart was recently passing down Jackson street, in San Francisco, the street planking gave way, and the eait disappeared suddenly into the depths below. Upon examination, it was found that the supports of the planking beneath had been bored .through in many places by some mischievous individuals, who had obtained ac cess three by the aid ot boats. The Alta Cali fornia thinks there is no doubt that the perpe trators of the plot had designed to rob the specie eart, on its w,.y to the steamer, and for this pur pose bad weakened the supports, intending, when the cart fell through, to be prepared with a con veyance beneath, and, seizing their booty, to deeamp with all possible speed. Alabama and Tennessre Trade. —The Sel ma Sentinel gives an account of the railroad train which came into that town last Thursday on the Alabama and Tennessee River Railroad It consisted of twenty-one cars loaded with coal, cotton, rock, wood, lumber, corn, cross-ties for the Alabama and Mississippi Railroad, shingles coops of chickens, biskets and barrels of jars and kegs of butter and honey, cows hogs, and other live stock, apples, peaches, pome granites, water and musk mellons, and all oth er conceivable kind of products of the up coun try. A New Article of Grorgia Manufacture. —The Savannah News says: A hank of baling, twine manufactured in Columbus, Geo., may be seen at our reading room. Judges of the article pronounce it superior to the imported very strong qualities which render it admirably adapted to the purposes for which it is used. As will be teen by the advertisement in another column I £l)f |> at Ip Constitationufot aui» fu'jmblic the Georgia twine is for sale in ths city by Messrs. Wells & Verstille. Reward of Affection. —The Jacksonville 111., Constitutionalist of the 11th has an account of the exercises at a late “ exhibition” of the female academy of the town. Prizes were awaided so several of the young ladies for excel lence in different depaitments of study, and the performances closed by presenting the following prize :—“ To Miss Hattie J. Hine, for meekness of disposition, kindheartedness and affection— a husband —Mr. Austin Rockwell.” The Ward Farce in Germany.— All the papers in Germany are at present, and have been fir some time, engaged in gloating over the Ward case, which is variously stated to have transpired near New York and near Boston 1 near where the revolutionary battle was fought.” We suppose they mean Lexington Mass. Another New State.— The N. Y. Tribune says it has “information from a credible source that a proposition has recently been made to the three nations, the Cberokees, Creeks and Choc taws, to form a State out of the territory occu pied by these semi civilized tribes, admitting them as citizens. This proposal was accompan ied by an offer to build them a handsome Sta*e House at the expense of the General Govern ment, and to bestow certain other advantages. The offer came from the Superintendent of In dian Affairs, and was sanctioned by the Execu tive of the Federal Government. The evident design was to form another slave State, as there are large numbers of slaves held by all these tribes. But the proposal was rejected by the Cherokees,for the reason that it would palce them upon the same level with other tribes not so far advanced in civilization.” It is stated that a vessel will sail from Balti more on or about the 20th of September next, for Liberia, Africa, which will take out such passengers as may offer. Another will leave on the Ist of November next. The Weather.— The weather during the past week has been intensely hot, the range of the mercury having averaged fully as high as at any other period of the season. The effects of the recent showers have been overcome, and we are again suffering severely from heat and drought. The crops in our section are represented as suffering materially from the drought, and it is stated that unless relieved by rain shortly, the yield both of corn and cotton must necessarily be greatly cut off. We have some slight indica tions of rain at present.— Columbut Enquirer, Bth inet. In p&oveuENTs. — The work of preparing the foundation for the superstructure of the new Ho tel is about completed, and the brick work w 11 be commenced this week. Other improvements in the city are being made, in the way of new buildings, painting up, repairing side walks and mending the streets.— Federal Union , Bth iusl. ( Discontinued —The Tri-Weekly Georgia Citizen oas been discontinued for the reason that it did not pay. It seems to us that the pepula tion of the city of Macon might warrant, the es tablishment of a Tri-Weekly paper. But newspaper enterprises are hazardous at ail times, and must be so, while the public are so little in terested in their welfare.— lb. The Weather.— As dry as this subject is, it is yet the theme ot general conversation, and elicits the warmest notices from the press. The past week has been, to us, the hottest of the summer. Frequently the thermometer has reched 100 in places not the least exposed. We submit to our readers, if the state of the weath er is not a valid excuse for the absence of edito rial. Ihe man that can put the machinery of his brain to work, and the thermometer at 100, must have something frigid about his cranium. As for us, we are in the ‘‘melting mood,” rollers and all, and therefore ask of-all our readers, a lit tle indulgence to lay up and cool.— lb. Death of the Rev. Wesley Adams.— The Florida Sentinel of the Ist inst., contains the following announcement which will be read with mournful interest by many who, like our selves, have sat with delight under the refresh ing ministry of this devoted servant of Christ: Departed this life in peace, on the 20th inst, at Dr. S. S. Adams, in Thomasville, Ga., the the Rev. Wesley Adams, in the 79th year of his age, having been nearly a half a century a local preacher in the Methodist Church. “•Bless ed are tpe dead who die in the Lord.” A more extended notice of this good man will be furnished shortly. P. p. S. Milledgeville Recorder , Bth init. Coroner Eden held an inquest yesterday on the body ot Edwurd , the property of Mrs. S. F. Goddard, who was wounded some weeks ago in a recontre with Uriah , the property of Mr. A. J. C.

This Tifreture produoes its effect by equalizing the circulation of the Blood, and by relieving in flammation. Its effeot in relieving inflammation, either internal or external, makes it useful in a great variety of diseases. For Fever and Aguo, or Chills, it is almost an infallible remedy. Diluted with syrup or honey, it is useful for Colds and all affections of the Lungs, arising from colds, such as Cough, Croup, Asthma, Difficulty in Breathing, Ac. As an external remedy, in fresh Cuts, Wounds, Biuises, Burns, Scalds, Bite of Snakes, Sting of Bees, or Bite of poisonous Insects, it prevents in flammation, and greatly relieves the soreness. I sed as a wash in eruptive diseasos, such as Scald Head, Ringworm, or diseases which cause an itching sensation upon the skin, it soon produces a healthy action. When thus used, the Georgia Sar saparilla should be taken to purify the blood. For Horses, and other animals, this article will be found invaluable for Bruises, Cuts, Galls, Fistu la, Ac. For Colic, and various other dangerous attacks, it rarely fails to cure evon the worst cases. This is the most active medicine in use, yet it may be given without danger of injury. It seldom fails, in dangerous cases, to cause an immediate re action in the system. After i; has caused a reac tion, it may be followed by such other medicines as the situation of the patient mav indicate. Prepared by J. DENNIS, M. D., Augusta, Ga.
