DEATH OF DK. FOARD.
Dk. A. J. Foard, formerly Sur
geon U. S. Army, and more recently
.Medical Director of the Confederate
Army of Tennessee, and Professor in
the Washington Medical College at
Baltimore, died in Charleston, on the
IStb instant. Dr. Foanl was born
and raised in Baldwin county, and was
in his 4-3rd year at the time of his
death. His. remains arrived in this
city on Friday afternoon, and were es
corted to tlie house of his friend, Dr.
S. G. White, where tl ey remained in
state until Sunday afternoon. The
funeral discourse was made by Rev.
Mr. Fliun, of the Presbyterian Church,
and the closing services read by Rev.
Mr. Malloy ot the Methodist Church.
The character of the ceremonies, and
the large assemblage who followed the
body to the grave, evinced the interest
all classes felt in the deceased. His
memory will be cherished by all who
knew him.

REMOVAL OF THK CAPITAL.
It that part of the Constitution
| which authorizes thd^ removal of the
j Seat -of Government was submitted,
thy itself, to the people of Georgia,
it would be rejected by an overwhel
ming majority. This question was
submitted to the people in 18-55, du
ring the most prosperous days ever
known to this country: when the State
was not in debt; when there was but one
Railroad to this city, and when the
public buildings were not in as good
condition as they are at present, and
the people decided, by a large ma
jority, against removal. Now, when
our people are in a starving condition,
when property is being sold all over
the State (even in the great and pros- 4
perous city of Atlantu.) to pay taxes ;
when the public buildings have just
been put in thorough repair and great
ly improved in appearance; when an
other Railroad has just been comple
ted ; when there is not one good rea
son for removal, are the people will
ing, will they sufler themselves to be
taxed for such u purpose ?
I hope all persons, throughout
the State, (whether they oppose or
favor the Constitution as a whole.)
who are unwilling to be taxed for the
benefit of a few property-holders in
Atlanta, will give expression to their
wishes by endorsing on their tickets
“No Removal.”

Alarm of Fire.—On the 20th inst.,
at about half past one o’clock, an un
occupied negro house in tlie lane of
Judge Harris, was discovered to be on
fire on the roof. The shingles were
much decayed, and the fire evidently
originated from a spark blown from a
low chimney twenty feet west of it.
By tlie activity and energy of Mr. Ly
man Compton, Mr. Alexander Moffett,
and Mr. George Harris, principally,
assisted by some of the neighboring
women in bringing buckets of water,
the lire was suppressed before the en
gine company could reach the point
of danger. A couple of barrels of rain
water, collected by tin tubes from the j
dwelling house, were fortunately on
hand. The wind was blowing strong
ly from the north-west, and a destruc
tive fire was thus happily arrested—
evincing the advantage of keeping
ladders and a supply of water on every
lot.
An hour or two later, the kitchen
of Cloe Watts (colored woman) was
discovered to be on fire. A high wind
was prevailing at the time, and if the
fire had got a good start, at least one
square would have been destroyed.
Fortunately, by the prompt action of
some of our citizens the fire was sup
pressed with but little damage to prop
erty.

To complete tbe organization of our

such a company has been organized

The movement, we believe, meets with

and we trust the Company will have
rio difficulty in raising funds sufficient
to buy leather buckets, and such oth

amount of money required is small
and property holders should not hesi

start to New York on Saturday, and
will, if the means are furnished, buy

of the third article” the powers of the government
of the State of Alabama shall be divided into three
distinct departments, namely ; legislative exec,

tliat after all the Radical glorification
over New Hampshire, that party has
lost 616 on the Gubernatorial vote,
and 10 members ot the House of Rep
resentatives. It should be borne iu
mind, too, that the vote this year is
is five or six thousand larger thau last
year, and that if there had been no
change in public aeuciment, the Radi
cal majority ought to have been in
creased iu proportion to the increase
of tin* vote; that is, the Radical ma
jority this year would have been at
least 3,500.
The Bankrupt Bill vs. Relief.—
The reader will find on our first page
a sensible and timely article on this
subject, taken from the Augusta Chron
icle and Sentinel. It exposes one of
the fallacies of tlie much boasted Re
lief secured to debtors by the Radical
constitution. The people wrH find
out that this attempt at relief—for it
is only an attempt—has no power, ex
cept by its reflex action to crush the
debtor class, and hurry them to ruin.
It is a fatal delusion—a cheat of which
its heartless and unprincipled authors
will not only be ashamed, but will be
held to a rigid account by a deceived
and betrayed people. Were it legal,
its practical operation would be to
plunder the honest poor at the expense
of the dishonest rich ; but being ille
gal and void, though ratified at a thous
and elections, its necessary effect will
be seen in feelings of bitterness and
reproach between the debtor and cred
itor class, aud a war between the two
which is obligpd to result in the utter
ruin of the former. The creditor,
when this thing shall be brought to
the test, will have the law and the
power on his side, and he will ap
proach Lis settlements with his milk
of human kindness dried up, and the
door of mercy closed by dishonest
efforts to defraud him of his rights.
Mark this prediction, ye who lean
upon the broken reed of Radical Re
life, and are even willing to give up
the liberties of yourselves and your
children that you may grasp at glitter
ing but empty bubbles— Telegraph.

Cincinnati, March ]8 —The Steamer Magnolia,
Cincinnati and Maysvillo regular packet, whic h
left here at noon to-Jf.y with about one hundred
cabin passengers and a largo amount of freight,
exploded her boilers twelve miles above this city,
at half past oue in the afternoon The greater
portion of tiie cabin was carried away and the
boat afterward* took tire. About forty persons
were killed, several being burned to death.
The boat took fire immediately after the boilers
exploded, and after the remaining : pper works
were destroyed, some powder in the magazine ex
ploded,—destroying everything but the Lull,
which soon sunk. Many of the passengers jumped
overboard snd were drowned, while others wrere
burned to death. The Captain of the boat is
among the lost. The boat was valued at $3)1,000;
insured for $20,000. Name* of Southerner* do not
appear among the lost or saved.
TO-DAY AND TO-MORROW.
Small need have those who love romance.
On battle field to court her,
Where cannons boom, where chargers prance—
The roads to strife are shorter
Each man that earns his daily bread
Has rnenties past number;
Hope’s dying feelings, crushed or dead,
His ouwaril march encumber.
Still bravely join Life's firery fray.
And sternly cope with Sorrow;
The man that bears his cross to-day
Will have a chance to-morrow.
Hopes, fears, desire*, in myrisds crowd
Our mortal pathway ever.
The spirit’s pure perceptions cloud
And clog sublime endeavoit
Grief, shame, remorse, and fierce despair
Bring legions to confound ns—
Such are tliedsngors we must dare!
Such are the spells around us!
Yet lift thy shield with courage gay,
An I hurl thy lance at Sorrow;
The man who steels his nerves to day,
Can face bis foe to-morrow.
Steer, pilot, for some glorious end,
Though late in port arriving.
Heaven s grace, like manna, will descend.
And sanctify thy striving;
Good, fur thy life, resolve to do,
And evil shall avoid thee;
Doubt may have made thy pulse nntruc—
Sloth may have misemployed thee—
Crush out these attributes of clay,
Stamp on the neck of Sorr.iwl
The man that perseveres to-day
May be a prince to morrow!
