larger growth go about killing birds of a food
value of half a cent with charges of powder and
shot worth six pence, it is right they should know
the exact value of the birds in the economy of
natore. They not only contribute as much as or
more than the flowers to the beauty of nature,
but the wonderful extent of their utility is set’
forth in an able scientific report to the Legisla
ture of Massachusetts who appointed a com
mission to investigate the subject The ap
pointment arose on a motion to repeal all legis
lation for the protection of robins on the ground
that they were not insect eaters, but preyed upon
crops. The New York Commercial Advertiser
alludes to this report as follows;
A committee, headed by the eminent orni
thologist Professor Jenks, of Middleboro. was
appointed to investigate the matter. Mr. Jenks
devoted the leisnre hours of an entire year to a
careful and minute investigation of tho subject
committed to his charge. He obtained birds
from every locality, and ascertained, from an
examination of their stomachs, that they were
great insect eaters. During the months of
March, April and May, not a particle of vege
table matter of any kind whatever could be
found in the food of the robins. Insects in
large quantities varying greatly ns to kind, con
dition and development, were, during all these
months, their sole and exclusive food. The
larvrn of a species of fly, known to naturalists
as the Bibio Albipennis, formed a Large propor
tion of the contents of their stomachs. Fre
quently as’many as two hundred were found in
the stomach of a single bird. These larvte do
great injury to .vines, roots, seeds, etc., and
Mr. Jenks ascertained that great destruction to
vegetable life would be occasioned by them,
were it not that robins prevent their increase.
These larvre live in large swarms, and when a
largo colony is discovered, it is quickly exter
minated by the robins.
Prof. Jenks further discovered that during
the months of May and June the larvre are re
placed in the stomach of the robin by a variety
of insects. Prof. Treadwell, of Cambridge,
after many experiments, demonstrated, a few
years ago, that a young robin consumed forty-
one per cent, of animal food more than his own
weight in twelve hours before he began to gain,
nnd th?t after he had eaten this amonnt, his own
weight was fifteen per cent, less than the food
he hod consumed. That he absolutely needed
this large amonnt of food was shown by his fall
ing off in weight when he had less. “Even
when fed on raw beef the young bird consnmed
nearly his own equivalent, each day: and after
eating this amonnt daily for thirteen successive
days, his weight was then hardly twice in amount i
that of his'daily supply of raw beef."’ We can 1
thus form some idea of the enormous capacity
of the robin for making way with insects, worms
and other foes of vegetable life. ,
Thus it will be seen that the robins which ap
pear in the South just on the breaking up of
winter and in early spring, and furnish so much
sport to gunners, are heaven-sent messengers not
only to beautify the landscape,but to exterminate
the larvre of myriads of destructive insects which
is just ready to hatch and prey upon the young
vegetation. And when it is seen that each of
these birds destroys daily embryo insect life
amounting to more than Ms own weight, we can
readily understand what a fatal disturbance of
the harmonies and counterbalances of nature is

above caption, I notice my name published as a
candidate for the office of County Commissioner,
and having been thus placed before the people
as an advocate for certain measures, it may not
perhaps, be regarded as improper for me to re
quest every voter in this county to do ns I have
done myself, examine thoroughly everytMng
that can be said or urged for or against the pro
priety of adopting the elegant and chaste designs
of Messrs. Woodruff Brothers, and making our
present City Hall one of the finest and most com
modious public edifices in the State, and Laving
thus examined the subject, to decide in such n
manner that the welfare of the community at
large may be best secured with the least possible
outlay.
Facts and figures will not lie to oblige any man
or advance his own private interests, nnd with
facts and figures the voters of this city and coun
ty have now to deal.
In the first place, the entire cost of tho con
templated improvements to the present City
Hall, at the time the Messrs. Woodruff6 plans
were drawn was set down in round numbers at
thirty-six thousand four hundred dollars, and
not sixty thousand ns stated by the writer who
signs himself “Qnidam,” in your paper of tMs
morning. “The people from the country” can
readily prove this fact by examining the plan in
question. More than tMs, any practical me
chanic in this county knows very well that con
tractors would require nothing better than to
take the job tb-day, at a tMrd less rates, giving
bond and security for the faithful performance
of their contracts. Twenty-five thousand dol
lars would adjust all the claims from the com
mencement of these contemplated improve
ments to their completion.
But it is urged that the land on Mulberry
street will be donated to the citiy, if the voters
of our city and county elect as County Commis
sioners men who will change the present locali
ty of our City HalL Will it indeed? How
much land, gentlemen, comes in the shape of a
donation? Does not every voter know very
well, that in order to erect the necessary build
ings required for the convenience of the city
and county upon this site, it will be an absolute
necessity for them to purchase, at a fabulous
price, the land immediately adjoining, wMch is
now owned by men at the North, who as a mat
ter of self interest look out for Number One and
do not care a picayune for anything that will
secure the future welfare of this city or county ?
The price wMch would have to be paid would
very nearly pay for all the contemplated im
provements, and give the city a commodious
edifice of which she might well be proud.
In the first place, our present City Hall is lo
cated where it may be seen from every road
leading into the city.
Secondly, the locality is remarkably healthy,
and, if no other argument were used, the health
of prisoners confined in the lower rooms should
not be lost sight of.
One Neobo Kiuk Another Because He Wocld
Not Go to Chtock.—We havo the particulars of an
attrocious murder that was committed on Sunday
laBt in Crawford, county. A negro man named Green
Hunnicntt, shot and killed another negro named
Ned Jones, merely because ho (Nod) refused to go
•to church. Green had threatened to do as much,
if Nod was .not more strict in his attendance at
church, and, according to tho testimony taken at
the Coroner’H inquest, it is presumed that he com
mitted tho murder because Nod did not hoed his
pious instructions. Green is still at largo, and tho
negroes in the neighborhood swear that they will
burn him if they catch him.
Destructive Fibe at HAwxixsvnxE.—Quite a
destructive fire occmred at Hawkinsville, Pulaski
county, Tuesday morning about 3 o’clock. The
cotton warehouse of Mr. C. C. • Clarke, contaim'nS
over 100 bales of cotton, ton tons of guano and a
few barrels of syrup, together with all the books and
papers of the warehouse were consumed. Mr. Jno.
Pate, a merchant of Hawkinsville, was the heaviest
loser. His loss amounts to about $4000. The total
loss is abont $16,000. No insnrance. Except the
twenty-six hales of cotton belonging to Mr. Pate,
planters will loose more heavily by the fire than
others, as tho cotton bclongod to them. The build
ing was little else than a shell-framed house, and
was not occnpied by any person at tho time of the
fire. It was, therefore, clearly the work of some
mean and wanton incendiarv.

Book by a Blind Girl,

book entitled “ Incidents of a Blind GirL” It
is a handsome little volume, and presents an in

and is endeavoring to earn a livelihood by the
sale of her literary work. She will call upon
our citizens to-day. We are confident that she
will be kindly received and her book find a ready
sale. The unfortunate lady should be aided,
and her laudable endeavors meet with generous
encouragement The volume will doubtless in

A private letter from a friend in Dougherty
county has this item of general interest:
“I am very busy in my crop, and doing as
well as could be expected. My hands are all
working welL The farmers through this sec
tion are all in a forward state of preparation.
Com np with all of us, and I find, as a general
rule, all are planting enough grain to do them.
If they have not pledged themselves too deeply
for manures which may not succeed according
to their expectations, they will hold the wMp-
hand still with the cotton the coming season,
for a man who has plenty to eat at home will
not be scared into sacrificing Ms crop. I
think our farmers are getting wiser, and, al
though mightily tempted by the high prices
on cotton, are stBl providing in some measure
for a reverse."

to btate that the long expected race will take place
at 10 o'clock to-morrow. Thursday morning, at tho
racetrack. Best three in five. Colors: Macon red;
Atlanta blue. After the regular race the track will
ho thrown open to any match that may be made up.
Tho following gentlemen are requested to act as
Judges: O. G. Sparks, J. B. Cumming and W. J.
Aderhold. An ample police force will be on hand
and the most perfect order maintained.
The Atlanta Constitution, of yesterday, says:
“ Velocipede.—Tho Macon Telegraph says that
one of the Macon Velodpedist has been clssdlanged
by a gentleman of Atlanta to raco for $150 a side,
and that tho challenge has been accepted and that
the race will come off this week. When our ex-
Judge of the county court gets down there he will
make the Macon fellow blow, for he is as expert in
managing this new horse as Plueton was in controll
ing his ‘old dad’s’ coursers.”
We would suggest to our friend of the Constitution
to reserve Ms blow and brag until after the race.
All that will not win the money, unles3 tho ex-Judge
can bring out something better than “old dad’s
coursers,” he has little chance of beating onr ex
press train.
Macon as a Wholesale Mabket.—We clip the
following articlo from the Albany Nows, of tho 30th
ult. Its statements are true in every particular,
and tho argument is unanswerable:
Wo belioye the wholesale merchants of Macon,
under the through freight system, are able to lav
down their goods, wares and merchandize, at a tri
fling advance on Savannah and Charleston prices.
If th ev buy in thoEastem markets, their goods come
directly through, at about the same rates that Sa
vannah merchants pay. What, then, hinders them
from selling tho same'class of. goods to the trade as
low as tho Savannah merchants ? Bents are prob
ably cheaper, and expenses aro not so heavy: and
wo see no reason why country merchants should not
save money by stopping there for their supplies.
There may be, it is tmo, some difference m the
credit system, but acceptances or lions are now
pretty generally required, and tho accommodating
facilities at Macon are ample for all purposes.
Wo do not urge merchants and planters to buy at
a disadvantage m order to patronize friends near
homo, and build np their own cities; but. all things
being equal, we do urge, upon principle, and as a
matter of duty and pride, a change in tho senseless
practice of passing by neighbors and friends to
spend money among strangers and enemies.
Until we learn to sustain homo industry and com
bine to build up homo enterprises, we shall continue
to be the hewers of wood and drawers of water for
the sbodyiteB of New England and New York. Tho
money spent in traveling and sight-seeing in tho
Eastern cities, by merchants when they go on to
buy their stocks,’would pay freight, insurance and
taxes: and tMs, in addition to the profits on their
bills, goes to enrioh a people who hate us; to in
crease tho power to oppress us; to stimulate the
bloated bigotry that insults us, and to subject us to
tho disadvantages of weakness, povortv and infe
riority.
Wo know that the wholesale merchants of Macon
havo the means; that they aro making oarnest and
faithful efforts to accommodate the-trade, and that
they aro offering inducements that should attract
the attention of Southern merchants, and arrest
the suicidal policy of goingfurtherandfaringworse.
To our Southwestern merchants we respectfully
suggest a fair trial. Examine the goods and prices
at Macon, and if it is found that they will do aB
well for them as wholesalers elsewhere, stop and
buy; if not, go on, for yon are not expected to lose
money for the sake of a sentiment,

Location of the Court-house.—Editors
Telegraph : Tho question of tho location of the
Court-house is again being agitated, and a vague
notion prevails that it should be placed more cen
trally than the comer of Second and Mulberry
streets, but the whereabouts is still undecided.
Economy Seems to be a favorite argument in favor
of the point mentioned, inasmuch as the property-
holders in that vicinity propose donating the lot,
while those who contend for centrality, itis thought,
will have to bny the ground. In either case an ex
penditure of from sixty to eighty thousand dollars
for buildings is proposed, wMch, in the end, might
bo a much larger sum. In the present impover
ished condition of onr people, these large sums
have an awful significance, and their expenditure
should bo avoided if there is any possible chance.
That chance exists. The citizens of Macon, who
own six-sevenths of the property of the county,
have a building upon wMch if ten thousand dollars
were spent, would be finer looking, externally, than
any that could be erected for those larger sums, and
would give more space for court and jury rooms, as’
well as county offices, than will ever be needed or
used. Erect an additional story to the City Hall
building, with separate entrances on the side to the
second and third floors, and the work is done! Tho
present Hall has never been of any real use to the
city, wMch has ample hall and office accommodation
on the lower floor, and may very well be dispensed
with. The necessary subdivisions may bo made and
the business of the county accommodated in a satis
factory maimer, with much less fire risk than would
be with tho Court-house part of a block surrounded
by other buildings.
At the time of the erection of the present City
Hall, that structure was considered to be the best
piece of work that had ever passed through the
hands of Major Steel, and stronger than seemed

General Remarks—The wholesale and Jobbing
trade of the city during the past week lias exhibited
a fair degree of activity. The operations in the
leading staple were much larger than during the
week before, and the demand lias been general, at
steadily advancing rates.
There has been no change worthy of special men
tion in tho money market during tho week. Ease
contmues to bo the leading feature. Currency is
abundant, and the demands for accommodation at
the banks exhibit very little increasei. . . ,«j
In stocks and bonds, the market continues dull and

should demand rigid economy on the part of i necessary. The walls aro tMck and good now, and
their public servants. As a matter of fairness
and justice the plans of Messrs. "Woodruff should
be publicly exhibited at the polls upon the day
of election so that every voter can vote know
ingly and understanding^.
If we carry out the plans of these gentlemen,
and the sooner it is done the better for all con
cerned, we can very well afford to let the swamp
qnestion remain in abeyance for the present, at
least We wish, and need, a corps of County
Commissioners who will labor for the interest
of the people at Large, and not for the interests
of a favored fee to the exclusion of all the rest.
Every voter in the county has an interest in the
matter and should see for himself and act per
fectly free from the persuasion of others. My
own pecuniary interest would urge me to re
commend strongly the removal of our City Hall
from its present site, to the one on Mulberry
street, but the interests of the entire people of
this city and county force me to oppose this plan
as suicidal to the future welfare of Macon and
its surroundings. Very respectfully yours,
E. Isaacs.
As Expected Let the Voters be
Warned.
H doubts have heretofore existed as to the
position of the Mul erry street ticket on the
drainage qnestion, the article of Quidam in yes
terday’s Telegraph will surely dispel them, and
6how to tho signers of tho petition to the Leg
islature in behalf of that object that wherever
else they may look for relief from their mias
matic troubles, it will be vain to look to them.
“How not to do it” is again the order of the
day, and “time,” an indefinite amount of it will
be taken, be assured, to “survey and issue the
bonds,” and then it is said “no man can be so
lost to the teachings of common sense ns to ad
vocate the drainage of the swamp in summer 1”
There it is, the whole programme revealed.
They are in favor of it, oh, yes, but when?
Not this summer—perhaps this winter, if it be
dry—if not, it can bo done then next summer!
No, that would kill everybody in Macon, and so
on, and the opposition that failed to defeat the
measure by stealing the bill in the Senate, and
tearing it in the Honse to prevent getting a
copy, on the heel of the session to defeat it, will
have triumphed nevertheless, if that ticket be
elected, and is properly represented by their
advocate Quidam. On the contrary, elect the
men who have advocated the measure from the
first, who feel the necessity of commencing the
work at once, having suffered already from pre
vious delays, and although it be “no child’s
play” that is undertaken, “ground will be
broken,” and the work be in progress long be
fore the autumn winds of 1809 have breathed
apon us. Old fogy must get out of tho way for
Young Enterprise.
Western Ice Melting.—Onr papers and dis
patches yesterday mentioned that the ice in
streams north and west of St. Lonis is just now
beginning to melt and the country to thaw out.
Here is a Chicago dispatch of the 23d:
“ This is the first spring-like day we have had
since March set in. The river is opening to-day. ”
Here is one from St. Louis, same date:
“ The ice in the Missouri river is moving, and
the prospect of an early opening of navigation
is very good.”
This is strange reading to us. We have had
it is presumed, in tho absence of an architectural
report to the contrary, are qnite strong enough to
support the additional structure. And if so, where
is the necessity for this large contemplated outlay ?
In this view of the matter, might not economy and
centrality both be satisfied, and all conflicting inter
ests thus be reconciled ?
In this connection, a lot for the erection of a Jail
is spoken of, and has almost been laid off by nature
already, at or near the intersection of -First and
Wharf streets, about the same distance from tho
City Hall as the present guard-house, and as nearly
hid from tho public eye as it is possible to be within
the limits of the corporation.
There is already in the Treasury some thirty-five
thousand dollars cash, which is presumed to be am
ple for both buildings, and if appropriated as above,
would relieve tho people for years to come of a
heavy load of which the onerous taxation of the
present year is but a foretaste. Theso views might
not suit either of the parties in the field as candi
dates for Commissioners—certainly not the sub
scribing party for Mulberry street—but tho question
is none the less in the hands of tho people, who can
doubtleaq savo themselves $50,000 by their votes on
Saturday, if they so will it. Having pointed out the
method of doing so, it but remains to commend to
the people, in this as in all things, a liberal
Economy.
Acquitted—Mr. J. O. Leftwick, who was tried
yesterday in the United States Commissioner’s
Court, on a charge of passing counterfeit money,
was fully and honorably acquitted. In fact, thore
was no evidence offered against him that could be
fairly termod evidence, and the trial was little else
than a mere formality.
In tho case of Mr. A. J. Craft, he was dismissed
without even so much as a hearing. Ho makes a
full statement of the caso in an advertisement, else
where in this paper.
Pen Spobt.—Good actions, like virtue, are their
own reward. It is safe to go on doing them to an
unlimited extent. *People who have never had any
experience should order samples home.
The trouble generally with people is not so much
how to say a thing as what to say. First get an
idea into the head and it will find its way to the
tongue. There’s no running a stream without a
fountain. Even the ladies cannot talk without
something to say.
We were asked, yesterday, if we knew how
hens hold on to the roost when asleep. We have
never given the subject special attention, but sup
pose it is done the same way as when they aro
awake. If man was a hen, he would hold on with
his hands: hut a hen appears to prefer her feet
Scandal, if an invention, is sure, liko children, to
grow rapidly. The more improbable, the faster its
growth, anil the more readily credited by a majority
of people. Folks let fiction in at the front door
with all sorts of ceremony, but kick fact out at the
back door without any.
Sportsmen think the velocipede may be made prac
tical. Nice to run down a hare without losing one
from your own head, or pouncing on a covey of
birds withyour swift-winged (more literally, wheeled)
bicycle. Then to out-wind a fox, or scramble upon
a deer—what dear, delightful, exhilarating sport it
will be. We see it all clear as day—in the mind’s
eye, by the aid of a transparent horn.
Tho way to get up a circulation of the blood is to
circulate the body with a vigor. The one follows the
other as naturally as marriage courtship. If you
are skeptical take patterns of both home and see
how they wash.
It is an eccentricity of people in liquor that they
think everybody else drunk and themselves only so
ber, the streets are crooked, the sidewalks uneven,
and everybody is in a bad way—and growing worse
at every step.
The leading question should sometimes be, not
whether a young man can be fitted for college, but
whether he is fitt ed to go by his nature and instincts.
It is of no more use to send some young chaps to
college; than it would ho to race a mud turtle with
a velocipede. Failure would be sure in either case.
Many very philosophical, and many very satisfac
tory works have been written on memory, but none
have ever explained why somo people almost always
forget to pay their little bills at the comer groceries,
the provision dealers, and their washerwomen.
Their faculty for gathering the smallest bills due
them is at the same time very active and keen. Evi
dently a new, larger and more extensive volume is
needed. , ;
Dress and address have their advantages. Nobody
wants to go into society without more or leas of
each, and the more of both the better, unless pushed
to extravagance. Both are eminently worthy of
cultivation, and the fact that many are very slovenly
in the former and very innocent of the latter, is all
the more reason for urging the point.
The secret of happiness is in tho ability to extract
sunshine from whatever is around ns. On this prii>
dple poverty in a hovel is on a footing with wealth
in a palace. In other terms, happiness is an inside
passenger. . ,■
“No” is a hard word to utter. The lips don’t
pucker on it easily. It stumbles on the tongue. It
don’t jingle. When it is out, it never goes into other
people’s ears pleasantly. May be it was a mistake
to have ever invented it Everylody is down on it,
and the wonder is, that it did not go np long ago.
Such were the comments of a handsome young man,
yesterday, who had just returned from a visit to one
for whom ho has long “pined in thought ” and has
had his very soul in keeping.
Bills differ. One that is payable has no pleasant
feature—in fact, is ugly. A bill receivable is as
pretty as the face of tho girl you fancy, with the ad
ditional excellence, that it is real. A bill payable
often leads to a sort of mental bill-iousncss; hut a
bill receivable often cures the worst of ills. Bills
differ, wo repeat.
More care should be exercised in what we breathe
than in what we eat. We breathe incessantly, and
only eat occasionally. But nine people in ten shut
out pure air as if unhealthy. Tho great air question
needs thorough and constant ventilation.

Ditohno Line of Districts 564 and 716.—Wo aro
requested to publish tho dividing lino of theso two
districts, in both of which Magistrates and Con
stables aro to bo chosen on Saturday noxt.
Tho lino commences at tho bridgo and runs up
Bridgo streot to Wharf; thence up Wharf to Fourth
street; thence up Fourth to Cherry; thenco up
Cherry to First; thence up First to Cotton Avenue;
thenco np the Avenue to tho Columbus rood, and
from the Columbus road to tho city boundary. Tho
district north of this line is known as tho 5S4tb, or
Upper District; that south of it, as tho 716th, or
Lower District.
Like tho weather, as tho season advances, the
contention among our people in regard to tho lo
cation of tho now Court-house and draining tho
swamp, waxes warmer bb the day of election ap
proaches. We have as little Idea of tho way the
thing is going as we have of the direction in which a
cat will jump when turning it out of a bag. It’s
got to come out, however, on Saturday; but will it
take to tho lot on the oomer of Second and Mnl-
green peas, new potatoes, lettuce, etc., of this streets, to the City Hall, or to the swamp ?
B ^ r Who can tell ? •
I doubt whether the Governor, Parson Brown-
low, was ever a handsome man. As it is, a po
liceman is said to have requested him to get in
cars, or take a hack, as he scared horses, and
threatened the quiet of the streete.—Puitt,
year’s growth. One or two mornings during
the winter we bad ice the thickness of a wafer,
but have had no sngw. The woods are now
looking green.

day evening, by.actual'count, was 6,702 bales.
Sale of City Pboptity-—Tfie committee on pub
lic proporty will sell a valuable and desirable city

The New Court-house.—This subject is still tho
theme of much talk in tho city, and the location of
tho building gives rise to a vast deal of speculation.
Thoso who selected tho coiner of Second and Mul
berry streets, as the most accessible and convenient
point to the centre of business and the heart of the
city, aro now silently awaiting the action of others
who may have tbe selecting of a site for the build
ing, and aro a little curious to see whether a better
or cheaper location can be found. A cheaper site
cannot, certainly, be obtained than the one fixod
upon by those Commissioners whose action has been
ignored and set aside by tho Legislature; as the
Bite was presented by Mr. Johnston, thus saving to
tax-payers of tho county fifteen or twenty thousand
dollars, which it will probably cost to secure a suita
ble sito elsewhere in tho city. Thoso from this city
who engineered tho bill through the Legislature
seem to bo satisfied with almost any site for the
new building, savo the one selected by tho late
County Commissionersr-not excepting even the old
site, though thoy would, perhaps, prefer tho grounds
now occupied by tho City Hall and Market House.—
WelL wo havo no particular objection to this site
more than It will bo much more expensive, perhaps,
than any other that could be selected; but as to
erecting the now Court-house where the old one
stands, wo would moat emphatically object, if the
objection could bo mado effective. It is an out-of
tlic-way place, and a fine building there would be
little else than a “light under a bushel.” All whom
wo havo heard express an opinion on the subjoct aro
opposed to tho old location, and we* scarcely believe
ten men could be found in this city or county who.
if elected Commissioners, would select it for the
new Court-house.
As yet, wo havo not heard tho name of. a single
gentleman whom it is proposed to run as one of the
ton Commissioners, to bo chosen at the coming elec
tion, on tho 3d of April, and it would seem tliat it is
about time for this matter to be settled. Ten of
our wisest and most discreet citizens should be cho
sen for the work specified in the Act for draining the
Macon Reserve and building the Court-house—men
who will look to the interests of the whole county
in the discharge of their duties, and will act wholly
independent of the wishes of a few property holders
who hope to be permanently benefltted by these im
provements. Convenience and economy should be
the leading features in the aeleetton of a site for the
now Court-house, and the draining of, the swamp
should bo done well and thoroughly, and the con
tractors for tho work sbonld not be released from
their obligations until such is the case.'

There has been quite an improvement in this line
during tho past week upon that of- the week before,
in point of activity. A fair demand for leading arti-
ticles has obtained all the week, whilst it has been
very good for the last few days. Bacon is now very
firm at quoted rates and the demand active. Com
is in fair request and very firm. Flour continues
dull and drooping, and prices have fallen off about
$1 00 per barrel during the week. 1 Molasses has
been in light supply and good demand at unchanged

The Fire at Ilawkinsrtlie:
The Hawkinsville Dispatch, of yesterday, says r
Disastrous Fnx. — On yesterday (Tuesday)
morning, between three and four o’clock, the
citizens of this place were aroused from their
slumbers by the alarm of fire. It was found ta
be 'the cotton warehouse of Clark & Davis,
which, with its contents, was speedily a mass of-'
flames.
The' building was owned by William IE Oli
ver, and was not insured. It had stored in.it
some J25 bales of cotton, 25 tons guano, 40
sacks salt, and 12 barrels syrnp, none of which
was 'insured. The total loss is estimated at
625,000. Mr. Oliver’s loss will reach $3,000.
Major John H. Fate lost 26 bales cotton, which
he had bought the day previous, together with
10 tons, of guano. The remainder of the cot- -
tori was in small lots, and owned by various par- -
ties.
j Messrs. Clark & Davis lost all of their books'
and accounts. They have our sympathy.
A few bales of cotton will be saved, in a dam- :
aged.condition, and perhaps a. little salt , and’-'
guano.
The freedmen worked long and well, without
fee or reward, and to their untiring exertions,,
in common with those of the whites, is due the-
credit of having stayed the spread of the fire.
The store, of Mr. Oliver, and Mr. Spnrlin’s •
shop,, upon either side of the burning warehouse,
both caught, but were put out.
The fire was evidently the work of an incen-
diary.-rio fire ever being used about'the prem
ises. In confirmation of this supposition, it
stated that the front door of the warehouse was
found open at 9 o’clock on the preceding rnghfc.
As we write, tho business portion of the place-
is nearly deserted by our citizens, who are busily
engaged in throwing water upon, the burning
cotton bales, which are then taken on drays to
the river and dumped in, and the drays return .
Ifideactl with hogsheads of water.
