Read the following, extracted from thc SouBi
Carolinian, published in Columbia. If Bie in
tention is carried out, the firemen of Bie South
ern States will have a grand time, and an op
portunity to test their skill in working fire en
gines wifii a host of competitors for the prizes
offered.
It is in contemplation, and. efforts arc now
bcing’madc by our citizens, aided by the Firm
Department of our town, to get up a grand prize
ronU’st in .May. tu which the file companies <>!
the South shall ho invited. Thc move had its
origin in tho determination, tlie Independent
Fire Company had formed, previous to the Har
per's Ferry excitement to go on to New York
during the spring. The sectional feeling which
has pervaded tho entire South*caused them to.
abandon it Tho committee will, this week,
take the list and solicit subscriptions from our
citizens. Tho design is to oiler prizes. ■’Two
first class prizes, in w.liich the first prize'sliall
bo for the first class engine throwing horizon-
tallv the grcatc-t iii-tau.v ; tie- scc.v.ul (hr the
first class engine throwing the greatest-quanti
ty in a given time. There shall bc two second
class prizes: the first fo bo given to thc second
oloaa engino throwing horizontally ll,e greatest
distance; tlie second for thc second class engine
throwing thc greatest quantity in a given time.
The fifth.prize will bc awarded to tho (jest steam
fire engine. ■ . '
Wc have no doubt Biat this will bc a grand
affair, and will be productive of-a good social
result, in bringing together companies from va
rious parts of the South. It will also have a
stimulating effect upon tho lire department of
our town, and thus, if possible, give it greater
efficiency and perfectness. Last year, Bie In
dependents went down tcwCharlcston and cov
ered themselves with glory, in the part they
bore in the glorious rivalry which took place
■under the auspices of Bie hospitable and public-
spirited fire department of Charleston. Now,
Columbia, the victor at Charleston, is d&irous
of proclaiming another contest, and tQ invite
thereto all Southern knights of tho nozzle. We
hope that our citizons will cntqr into their de
sign with spirit and enthusiasm, and' Biat' they
will give Biem such sympathy -that the- affair
may pass off wiBi a success, and eclat worthy
the growing importance of our aspiring city..

Fire Engine Wanted on the Ilill.
Every. fire that occurs on the eminences
skirting the Western border-of our city is
fresh proof of thc want, of an engine .at som?
accessible point, where it .can be used when
occasion demands. Last night our gallant fire
men would have succcded in saving the dwelling
houso-burnfcd, but for time necessarily consum
ed in reaching the fire. To drag an engine .up'
our long hills-is a Herculean task anji requires
more time and labor fhan can bc spared in _thc
emergency of a conflagration.
If the city Conndl would contract for an en
gine and locate. it at a point near thc Blind
Asylum or the Female College, it might be the
means of protecting largo public and private
Interests. The residents on the *“ Hills” .pay
taxes and wc think are entitled to demand this
of thc city authorities. We cannot permit'fiiis

’Judge Pouglas.
-It is marvelous how this distinguished Dem
ocrat is misrepresented. “ Heard ” in to-day’s
Telegraph charges him with votipg and speak
ing for the Wilmot proviso. Well! well!!
IVhat says the Record ? In thc Congressional
Globe wc find tliat in February-1847, Wilmot
offered liis celebrated proviso to tho three mil
lion bill, and Judge Douglas stayed it as a giaqt
would a pigmy. The final vote was taken on
it the 8d of March 1847, and stood ayes 97,
nays 102, Judge Douglas and all his friends
voting nay. Will Heard have, the magnanimity
to retract ?
lie charges Judge Douglas wifii sustaining
the admission of California into thc Union.
Suppose he did, let me ask Heard how he calls
himself an Administration man, knowing that
Mr. Buchanan approved the admission of Cali
fornia, and that Lewis Cass and Howell Cobb,
"both approved and sustained the compromise
measures? But if disposed to do Judge Doug
las justice, why did not Heard let the people
know that he sustained and lias always been a
champion of the Fugitive Stave Law. And
again in tlie'compromise.measures and thc ad
mission of California, the Soufitistraggled for
the extension of tlie Missouri compromise line
to Bie Pacific. Judge Douglas was the-man
who moved it in thc Senate, and on tho lOfii
day of August 1850 it-passed that body by thc
following vote, viz: Ayes—Atchison, Badger,
Bell, Benton, Berrien, Borland, Bright, Butler,
Ss'jgig;
Houston; Johnson of Moi, Johnson of La., John

Caucus, Ac,
Washington’, Feb. 12.—Dissatisfaction is
pressed by many republicans in respect to t;
amount of patronage bestowed upon their new
allies.
Mr. Ilaskin, they say, gets a chairmanship of
a committee; gets a clerkship under CoL Fi
ney; gets a place under tlie doorkeeper, and al-
so half of the binding for Alexander, of New
Y'ork. Mr. Hickman is reported as having se
cured like position, save and except any portion
of the binding spoils. I hear that George Har
rington is appointed clerk of the republican cam
paign committee.
It is stated tliat-Mr. McLano will not return
to Mexico, even if the treaty negotiated by him
bc ratified.
Tlie balance in tlio treasury on the first of
last week was $8,400,000. Receipts the week
proceeding was $1,600,000.
It is estimated at thc Navy Department that
$350,000 a year would cover thc increase of ex
pense which would arise from thc passage of
Mr. Mallory’s bill increasing thc pay of Bie
navy.
Several democratic Senators were not at the
adjourned caucus held yesterday, with a view
to adopt resolutions upon slavery* issues which
should bc supported as a party measure. Of
the Senators absent were Messrs. Mason,. Ilun
ter, Hammond, Johnson, of Tenn. Four hours
were consumed in. the discussion of the point
asserting tho justice of congressional action to
protect slavery in Territories.
Mr. Saulsbury moved that it was inexpedf-
ent to adopt thc resoluti ns. This motion was
supported, I hear, by Senators Clingman.and
Toombs, who were opposed by.Messrs. Gwin,
Bright, Fjtcli and Lane. Mr. Douglas opposed
the adoption of any resolutions in advance of
the meeting of Bie Charleston convention—de
clared for tlio Cincinnati platform without
change, n,1 *i ni-gucd against legislation in rela
tion to the slave property in territories prece
dent to any action of the Supremo Court As

A Batl “Look.”
A French gentleman highly amused us a few
days since by the relation of one of his ‘contre
temps’ in Bie early period of his residence in
this country, when his 'knowledge of English
was glimmering and uncertain. He chanced to
break the key of his room door, and going to
life landlady attempted.to explain Bie accident
by declaring Biat her ‘look was had!’ Tho la
dy in question only had ono eye, and lacked
other elements of beauty. She colored, her eye
flashed, and her lip trembled.- It was ap infa
mous. insult,- and her rage could scarcely bo
rcontrolled. ~ • . ' •

Curious Discovery.—A workman, while engaged
last week in cuttinR a ln.le through a brick wajl
beneath a building in Boston, came upon subterra
nean apartments high enough for a man to stand
upright ill. A steam pipe rail 1 liruu-li
rooms, reiniering it quite comfortable. The room
contained an oil lamp, a jag partly fillod with oil,
candles, cigars, a hatchet, hammer and saw, some
baker's bread, writing utensils, and a number of
books'. Upon tho leaves of two of the hooks was
the name of John C. Crowley. There was a door
in the partition ahont twenty inches square, which
opened into the space beneath a freight house. The
Advertiser states that this place was the resort of
thievish boys, while the Herald claims that it was
the hiding place of John C. Crowley, who murde
his wife sometime ago.

Democratic .Meeting' in .Baldwin
In pursuance of a call made through - thc
columns of this paper, a portteo'of tho .Demo
cratic party- of Baldwin county-, met at the
Court House in this city, ou Tuesday last As
soon as the -meeting was organized, Col. D.
C. Campbell, arose and proposed that a Com;
mittcee of ten, bg appointed to prepare busi
ness for Bic meeting. Mr. J. U. Nisbet request
ed before a votc was taken on CoL Campbell’s
resolutions, that he bc allowed to read a couple
pf resolutions which he held in his hand. ■ Col.
Campbell objected, ami declared that Mr. Nfe-
.bct and-all those who endorsed tlie action t>f
thc December Convention, were excluded from
any participation in this meeting. Tho call for
tlie meeting, hvas then read, when it was found
that all tlie Democracy Of Baldwin, were invit-.
cd, and it was also stated, that those who en
dorsed the action-of thc December Convention,
w«ro willing to send delegates to the March
Convention. Col. Campbell still contended,
that they had no business in tho meeting.—
Pending the discussion on this question, Copt
John Joses declared that this was an anti-
Cobb meeting, and proposed tliat all who were
opposed to Mr. Cobb, should come over on his
side of the house ; there being no' movement in
that direction, there was a motion made, that
tlie meeting now adjourn, which motion was
carried and several gentlemen, tho friends of the
December Convention, left Capt. Jones, and
CoL Campbell then requested those in favor of
sending delegates to the March Convention to
remain, after which CoL Campbell again offer
ed his resolution, fo- a committee of ten, to
jirepare business for the meeting; thisjesolu-
tion was voted down by- a large majority. Col.
McKinley then proposed, that Messrs. Briscoe,
McCombs and Brown, the same gentlemen that
represented Baldwin in the December Conven
tion, should represent us in Die Mareli Conven
tion. Col. Campbell offered thc names of three
other gentlemen, as a substitute. Col. Camp
bell’s substitute was voted down, and Col. Mc
Kinley's proposition was sustained by- an over
whelming majority. Upon a call for a division,
a very- large proportion of the meeting, sus
tained Col. McKinley's proposition, and Col.

SAVANNAH, December, 1859.
Last year \ve were induced to accept the agency
ior the sale of KettlewelLs Manipulated Guano up
on well authenticated reports received from Mary
land, Virginia and the Carolinas where this gre*» f
and standard Manure, tor all crops had been tnoi
ughly tried and tested. We issued a circular to the
I'lanters ot Georgia, advising them to nay; Many
.hundred tons were distributed throughout the State,
and was used upon all crops, and as far as we can
learn the result has been more successful than' any
'Fertilizer new used in bur State. We therefore, ap
pear again before you, with renewed confidence
morelhoroughly based upon experiment and actu
al ’demonstration and observation. Since our last,
.our Senior has visited Mr. John Rettlewell in Balti
more, in order tliat we might learn everything per
taining to this Guano, every facility was granted
him by Mr. Kettfewell, and his General Agent, Mr.
G. Obear, to investigate his works, process of Man
ipnlatlon and character of Guana used, Ac., which
he availed himself of, and was greatly surprised
at the magnitude of Mr. KettleweU’s enterprise.—
Over two acres of v&Iuabl&ground is covered*with
costly machinery, buildings, Jcc. The business be
ing conducted with the utmost care and system. Gu*
ano of the choicest kinds are selected and Manipu
lated wita great precision, and with the means in
vested and employed to carry on this work, lie came
to the conclusion that this Guano is entitled to all
the confidence and character claimed for it. JSo
successful has Mr. KettlcWell’s enterprise been that
many articles are forced upon the public claiming
tp be Manipulated Guano, Ac.i mere imitations, with
no claim to the name of Manipulation, mere mix
tures by hand and shovel of Guanos of doubtful
character—hence, tho importance of proper discrim
ination, by Planters. Mr. Kettle well comes endor
sed to you, and can refer to responsible citizens of
our own State
The Hon. Ilowell Cobb, of Georgia, says that he
a personal friend of mine, of many years st&nd-

a gentleman in every respect worthy of your regard
andconfidence.

4th. Its low price.
Peruvian Guano contains 16 per cent, of Antonia
and only 25 to 30 per cent, of Phosphate of Lime.—
By reducing tho Amonia one-half, and doubling the
Phosdate of Lime; a tar more valuable Fertilizer
must be produced. It has been demonstrated that
8 per cent, of Amonia is'enough for all crops—more
is injurious, besides expensive. Indeed, many pre
fer the No. 2 Manipulated Guano, because it con
tains a larger per eeotage of Phosphate of Lime;
the simple reason why cotton sepd is so valuable a
Manure is owing principally to this element. *.
Tho No. 2 may not produceas largo a first crop o;
some soils, but ns a permanent Fertilizer is gorptt
sed by none. The advantages named with the dil
ferenco in price to Peruvian Guano, ought to sup
plant every prejudice and convince tlio moat obsti
natemind. Certificates regarding tho use of this
Guano frotn prominent Planters of our State, could
be added, but we deem it entirely unnecessary, re
ferring to pamphlets on hand and in circulation for j
