Crowding at Fires.
The following from the Wilmington
Journal, of the 4th instant, is applica
ble to Augusta also:
We suggest to the heads of the fire
department the necessity of keeping
people out of the way whenever there
is a fire. An instance in point occur
red last night when the firemen were
greatly retarded in their labors by the
crowd surging upon and around them.
Strict discipline on the part of the
officers would cause the firemen to
work more effectively. Rules should
be laid down and strictly observed at all
fires, and, instead of the confusion
which generally prevails, the fire could
be subdued with much more ease. Our
efficient firemen are always troubled
more with the crowd pressing about
them while at work than in subduing
the fire.

Endorsements of the People’s Rem
edy.—When skillful and cautious med
ical men give over their own signa
tures a favorable opinion of the sooth
ing and vitalizing effects of a prepara
tion, the public does not hesitate to
believe them. The voluminous and
emphatic professional testimony in
favor of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
as a specific for all disorders of the
stomach and bowels, for liver com
plaint, intermittent and remittent fe
vers, and the thousand ills that wait
upon dyspepsia, must convince the
most skeptical. Aside, however, from
the testimony of the faculty, there is a
large mass of evidence from patients
in every walk of life, and showing that
this groat preventive and restorative
is of inestimable value to the sick and
debilitated. The Bitters are suited to
all climates, and are universally en
dorsed as a preventive of disorders
caused by miasma and impure water.

Prize Drill.
Last night the hall of the Ogle
thorpes, on Reynolds street, was crowd
ed with the military and citizens gen
erally to witness the prize drill of Ogle
thorpe Infantry, Cos. B. The company
was formed promptly at 8 o’clock by
Capt. Jas. O. Clarke, and drilled for
about half an hour in all the most dif
ficult military manoeuvres, in which
they exhibited a marked excellence.
The company was then halted and
those not desiring to join in the con
test dropped out—leaving 16 men as
contestants for the white plume.
The judges were Lieut. Coffin, of Cos.
A; Lieut. Jones, of the Clinch, and
Lieut. Buckley, of the Irish Volunteers.
The contest began and continued about
five minutes, when Corp. Calhoun, Pri
vates C. Couturier and Campbell were
invited to the rear.
After a slight rest it was renewed,
and this time fortune frowned on the
hopes of Corps. Harris and Hines, and
Private Clark, and they, too, took a
back seat. A few minutes after, Ser
geant Bland was also designated as a
good man for a spectator, and he, too,
retired. Seven men were now left, and
the contest was continued for over a
half hour before any failure could be
detected by which the contestants could
be dropped out, but finally Privates
H. Couturier, and Williams were ad
judged worthy recipients of a chair on
the outside, and they, also, retired.
Five were now left, and marching was
resorted to in order to induce them to
make some blunders, by which a con
clusion could be reached. Another half
hour was consumed, aud Sergeant
McCoy, winner of the plume last year,
was dropped out. Four left, and specu
lations and bets were numerous as to
who would be successful, and finally
the friends of Privates Fargo and Bowe
saw their favorites, their predictions
and their small change lost by the de
parture of the above named gentlemen
to seats in the rear.
Secretary Oakman and Sergt. Fitz
simmons were now the last of the Mo
hegans, and stillness and excitement
reigned supreme as they went through
the manual with a skill and perfection
which rendered a detection of a flaw al
most impossible, when Sergt. Fitzsim
mons finally fell a victim, and Secre
tary Oakman was declared the winner
of the plume, after a two hours’ con
test.
The plume was presented, in a few
pertinent remarks, by Lieut. Foster,
and received by Secretary Oakman.
Thus ended one of the most exciting
and spirited military contests ever wit
nessed in the city, and the company
well sustained the reputation which
it has so ably acquired.

David Crockett, after returning home
from his first trip to New York, gave
his backwoods audience his idea of the
first gentleman in the metropolis:
“ Philip Hone is the most gentlemanly
man in New York, boys, and I’ll tell
you how I know it. When he asks you
to drink he don’t hand you a glass—he
puts the decanter on the table, and
walks off to the window aud looks out
until you have finished.”
A one-legged Yankee orator named
Jones was pretty successful iu banter
mg an Irishman, when the latter asked
him : “ How did you come to lose your
leg ?” “ Well,” said Jones, “on exam
ining my pedigree, and looking up my
descent, I found there was some Irish
in me, and having become convinced
ihat it had settled in that left leg, I
had it cut off at once.” “Be the pow
ers,” said Pat, “it would have been a
better thing if it had settled in your
head.”

The Savannah Advertiser is very
bilious on Mr. Stephens. Perhaps a
little reflection will satisfy our con
temporary that Mr. Stephens’ vote sep
arating the Louisiana propositions was
a judicious one. If the Advertiser
still remains unconvinced, suppose, for
a change of air, the editor pays his at
tention to Gen. Gordon, who advised
the Louisiana Conservatives to accept
the Wheeler compromise, including
Kellogg.
When our friend of the Advertiser
attempts to make the impression that
Mr. Stephens is an advocate of tiie
Civil Rights bill, or dodged a vote upon
it, he gives way to prejudice and loses
control of his generally well-balanced
intellect. Our contemporary will no
doubt have occasion to review his ipse
dixit when all of the facts are known.
The Barnwell Sentinel has this item :
We regret to learn of the death of
Mr. Samuel Erwin, which occurred at
Allendale on Sunday evening last, after
a short illness. Mr. Erwin was a gal
lant soldier in the late war, a good
citizen and a kind and benevolent gen
tleman, and his death has cast a gloom
over the entire community in which he
lived, and created a void which few
men can fill. Peace to his ashes !
Mr. Erwin was a brother of Mrs.
Robert Martin of this city, who will re
ceive the condolences of her many
friends for this serious affliction.
A correspondent of the Atlanta Con
stitution has the following paragraph :
Mr. Stephens’ health is very good,
and he is able to attend diligently and
regularly to the discharge of his duties
iu the House. He is universally re
garded here as the greatest man iu
Congress from the South, and his well
established wisdom and moderation
give him a commanding influence over
the people of all sections of every shade
of sentiment. His private parlor at the
National Hotel is crowded continually
when he is in from early morn until
late at night with visitors who admire
his lofty character and talents, and
who are anxious to consult him on the
great questions of the times.

nenrtwu\rTV'vgprrrPr^5 tles .Southern men that this COSfCENTRA
ax.D CHEMICAL FLRULLSLR may claim to be equal, if not superior to auy in the
market, that being composed of a base of raw-bone, decomposed with Sulphuric Acid
and a combination ot Chemicals, it is devoid of the enormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosphate Rock preparations must contain; and that it presents the best
guarantee of a large profitable return, as testified to by all who have used it. We refer
to our 1 amp hints for this evidence, as it is too voluminous for our advertisement The
preparation is varied in composition to meet the condition of the two great classes of
