The frequency <f fire* iu this city and the conduct of the crowd* which ruish to them calls for some atten tion on our part as well as on the pan of the City Coun cil and the tire companies. It not unlrtqinnilv happens that houses are set on fire adjoining other houses which can certainly he saved, and which are always saved, hy our efficient tire com panies. This, however, is very far ft oin being the opin ion of a very large crowd of men and hoys who are al ways on hand in ease of a tire. The first thine they do is to break open the doors of the houses adjoining the one on fire, rush into the parlors and bed-rooms, break open boxes and elotbepprenses, and hurl every thing they can lay their hands on pell-mell into the streets, thereby damaging furniture of all kinds, break ing crockery, smashing giass ware, Boiling silks and satins, exposing, ah hem! under-garments, and other wise playing the very wild with everything they lay their hands on ; and just about the time they get through their work of destruction they find out that the house they have ransacked is not and never was in the least danger. Theufi fire-workers boast very much of their exploits and seem to think they are the only brave men in a community. Nmv we place a very different esti mate upon their services. They injure their friends much more than they benefit them, and if they can find nothing better to do at fires they had better stay at home. When a house is actually on fire and it is evi- j dent that the firemen cannot subduo the flames, such j conduct is justifiable, but under no other circumstances, j The place of a good citizen is at the Engine iu case ! of fire, and if he cannot find room there for his euer- \ gies, in nine cases out of ten he had better fold his j hands behind his back and write poetry on the flames. We, therefore, respectfully suggest to the Mayor of the city that he forbid all persons from breaking open j houses in case of fire, exeept at the request of the owner ■ or by order of the Mayor. And we are perfectly satis fied tbat the military woul-j be of more use than they are if a squad were stationed at the door of every house ; in the vicinity of a fire with instructions to thrust their j bayonets into every house-breaker who conies near j them. We are furthermore satisfied that much damage : might be prevented if our Engines could be brought into action more expeditiously. We suggest, therefore, | that the City Council authorise the Fire companies to j hire horses for this purpose at the expense of the city, j If the engines could have been instantly brought to play j as soon as the cry of fire was raised, much damage j might have been prevented during the last few days. ! But the engines are heavy and require a goodly number ‘ of men to move them through ouv streets. The fore- ; man is, therefore, compelled to wait until a Sufficient | force it collected before the engine can move from the ‘ engine house, and the result is, that the fire gets the ‘■ s*art and cannot be arrested. We are not complaining of the conduct of our oiti- | zens—we know that ail classes are actuated by the beet impulses in all such cases, and that especial piaiee is due to our Fire companies for the zeal and effi- ; eieney of their labors. We simply desire to call attention j to the disadvantages under which they labor, in the ! hope that they mav be removed. Wliiu Prospects. While our cotemporaries of the Whig press are la boring to galvanise the .-lead body of their party organ ization into life by strong currents of puffs and bragga docio, every election return which reaohes us proclaims the melancholy truth tiiat it is beyond the reach of hope — dead, dead. In Louisiana on election lately came off for judges of the Circuit Courts, and strange as it may be, every Democrat in the field was elected by handsome majori ties, and every Whig was dreadfully beaten. In Virginia an election has just been held for Con gressmen, and Democrats have been elected, it is said, in every District. The defamers, therefore, of General Piercers admin istration have as yet produced no impression upon the popular mind. The serried ranks of the Democracy are yet locked. Not a single square has been broken by the desperate charges of whig chivalry. Is this the reason why the Whigs of Georgia are so anxious to change the name of the party ? If on. Ilenry R. Jackson. The highest office yet conferred upon a Georgian by the President, has been given to this gentleman. lie was a Union Democrat. What will the Enquirer say to this appointment ? Are Union Democrats proscribed ? Wonder if he, and such as he, are included in the call ora Whig meeting which lately appeared in its columns ? Politics in Alabama. Our old friend and class-mate, James F. Dowdell, Esq., has been nominated for Congress in what is call ed the ‘‘bloody ?th, ’ i Alabama. Mr. Dowdell is a gentleman of classical education, pure morals and unadulterated political principles ; be i* popular with the people and is an able stump orator. He will be an ornament to his constituency in the Con gress of the United States. W e presume his election is beyond controversy certain. Col. Phillips and Col. Stalswortk haro both de clined the nominations for Congress tended to them by their political friends. Another convention is called to se lect a candidate, and it is earnestly desired that faction ■ball not be permitted to rob the Democracy of Mobile district. Mr. Moors has eoDeonud to oppose Sampson W. Harris in his district. They are both State. Rights Democrats. Mr. Harris is the regular nominee and has served his party ably and faithfully for three terms. Childs* Grain Separator. W e have had the pleasure to witness the operation of a model of Childs’ Grain Separator, now ready for exhibition at the Palace Mills in this city. It is a %ery ingenious and useful invention, cleaning wheat of all impurities preparatory to grinding or sowing. A •igbt of the machine in operation is its best recommen- Ktion ; and as it is an admirably constructed piece of uicc anism, ae well ;i ouriositv in its way, we take IT “ Ur V n COmmendin S 11 to the notice of those engag *heat * ™ aDof&OUir * of flour or the cultivation of •wit.’ °’ m owuer *t should call and Fire in Columbus. On Saturday last, the fire bells rung just at dark. The residence of Col. Frank Wilkins was consumed, I together with hia out buildings. The fire originated in the kitchen and was the result of carelessness. The lines in estimated at *'soo doilars. There was no insu- : ranee. Again the fire beli* rung at one o’clook on the same night to announce dm*, the house occupied by Mrs. • Williams was on fire. The fire originated in the kitchen, and the dwelling was very soon ignited and j the improvements on the lot were ail consumed. Mr. Brannon’s house was on firs several times, but j 1 by the active exertion of the fire companies and some ; : few public spirited citizens, his premises were saved. Main.

Mr. Editor :— Wouldn’t you like for me to tell | you something about our Educational Festival 1 Vou needn’t think you can have such things as Rail road JoliiicatioDs, without stirring up a sp'rit even here. We are a fast people ourselves. We | have built anew Academy, two storied, hid away : among the shady trees on a beautiful ground. Os I course it cannot compete with colleges,” but it ‘ is quite as neat and more retired than yours on the surrounding hilU to your beautiful city. Who knows huw many will look back to this house of ; learning as the birth place of many a happy thought, i the starting point of many noble aspirations that have run successfully to the goal of honor and glo ry ! It is relreshing to see these preparatory steps ! taken iu every part of our country to make useful, intelligent, and moral citizens, who may in after days aloin its history and add lustre to its name. ; It is addmg a share to all the varied pursuits of ag riculture, law, medicine and every profession so re munerative and so honorable — when energetically ! studied. This is the first starting step in the great i line of enterprise which we are following with so vigor. The public beneficiary who seeks the I inTpK'vement of his State, may as well canvass the i great cfeseYUfor aid and comfort in his efforts, as to | go where thelight- of education has not beamed upon j the masses; but to auy dissertaton of my own. I commenced ot what was done and ! said by others. Well, before night came evening, 1 our little place began to partake s P’ ol a j stir. Spectators from your city, amoi?§J’^ >m were | the fairest Jloicers , drove in as if tney ; getaway from dust, and tti.se, and heat, ; and rusticate among honest hearted and j people, where the winds blow pure and j where a boundless contiguity of shade invites raH| : to tbs weary traveller. For a time we graspeß ; hard and hearty bauds, and mingled tho eonrdi-* j tuents of the day with commentaries od crops. | Ihe hour arrived for the commencement of our ! Jollification, and we repaired to the new edificeabout , to be dedicated to the advancement of knowledge ; ; anl truth. They wero all there, the sturdy farmer and his happy family, the beauty and the chivalry, | brave men and fair women. We were well pleased, but not because we were minus of such joys that your young ladies , arae to grace our feast with their lovel ness. VVe were called to order, and the ser vices opened with an appropriate and good prayer from the Rev. Mr. Scafe. He also introduced to the sudieoce your young and talented fellow citizen, Edgar G. Dawson, Esq., who had kindly consented to entertain us with an oration on the occasiuD, and indeed he rendered us a full measure of practical good thought and beau tiful sentiment*, as true as beautiful. He did not daiiy with his time or subject, but went straight o work as a man who badeonkethino’ to do and in tended to do it. He commenced by saying in sub stance, if not in words, 4i lf he is regarded as a bene factor of his kind who performs the simple act of giving a cup of water to the parched tips of the thirsty, how much greater the virtue, how much ’ nobier the philanthropy of him who opens a foun tain from which not only one, but all may quart, ! yea, a fountain of knowledge ! We recognize it in the edifice we this day celebrate, and must congrat ulate the youth art mid me who ate 10 drink of its waters and honor the generosity and liberality of those who have dedicated if to the great cause of I education.” He gave us thoughts upou the mind, ; its dignity, its power, its great agency, its influence 1 over the material world, and that he who went forth in the battle field of life without a mind well disciplined and improved, was as illy prepared tor its duties as the warrior who goes to the contest, his muscles undeveloped and his sinews void of strength. Ho impressed upon us the overwhelming j force with which the proper cultivation of intellect ! and also of tiie heart presented itself to the conside : ration of all; that when imbued with high principles of truth and religion, a higher glory was imparted to i its elevation, and it commanded not only the ad ; miration of the world, but the homage ot its affec tions. He paid a high, and let me add sincerely, a • well deserved tribute to one of your own citizens, a modest, a worthy r.nd talented divine, when be said if there was one duty mure incumbent upon a ! Stale and people than another, it was the education ■ of her youth, and to none was more credit due for his •ndefarigable labors in this cause than the Rev. Mr. Scot t. He expressed the hope — in which I and you | and all of us concur—that he might live to see his ef forts c tunned with success, and the education of every youth iu the land a monument to his philan ! thtopv. To the ladies he remarked, it hi and been i said of them, their great object in life was to fliit, j *dhg. dre.-s, dance, marry a moustached, brainless • monkey,and then sit and simper away her existence, but for himself he discarded this as a t ile slander. And well he did, for there was at least one pair of bright eyes pouring forth a volley from their batte ry, that he must have feit ever iu after day?. He said theirs was a nobler aim iu life, to elevate, to en noble, to soften, to be the guardian angel of man, to direct the education of the youth iu its proper channel. But, Mr. Editor, I must dose, although it i is pleasant to dwell on the varied thoughts and | beauties of this speech; a copy has been solicited for publication, and I hope we will all have the ! pleasure of reading it at leisure. After the least, of l reason, we were conducted to another— more iangi | hie —that the greatest to the least was able to ap- I predate fully. A feast of fat thinzs that grow in the country and are peculiar to the country, and of which vve never grow tired. Yes, the supper was j substantial and delicate, containing all things pala | table.

The moon rose upon our delights, ca .ting ) her silver sheen of flooded light, deepening the inte [ restand enhancing the beauty of the scene.

The accounting officers of the Treasury are on the track of the immense frauds perpetrated under the color of the law granting extra pay to seamen and marines who have served off the California coast during the Mexican war. When enacted, the friends of this scheme alleged that it would not cost the Treasury more than $300,- 000. Already it is estimated at the Navy De partment, that if claims honestly arising tinder it only are paid, the sum total requit ed on this i account will be three millions ; and if frauds are | to continue under it, there is no telling where i its cost is to end. These frauds are believed to | implicate quite a number of persons heretofore ■ of very high standing in Washington and else* I where.

Alabama and Florida Rail Road. —We learn | from the Pensacola Democrat that on Tuesday, i the 17th inst., the stockholders of this company, ; in the State of Florida, met at the City Hall,and | elected the following Directors, to wit: Wm.

In the Pension Office, under the newsy stem of transacting business, introduced by Secretary McClelland and Commissioner M aldo, an ag gregate of one hundred and sixty-five warrants, under the law of September ’23,1850, are being daily got out by three clerks, as against one bun- ; dred and forty got out daily by six clerks in the j middle of March last.

The Flogging of a Prince. The London correspondent of a North Ger man paper relates a story with regard to the wav in which Prince Albert disciplines bis chil dren, which the Tribune translates as follows: “The young prince stood one day in his room ! in the royal palace at Windsor, at the window, | whose panes reached to the floor. He had a j I lesson to learn by heart, but instead was amus- j ; ing himself by looking out into the gardens and j playing with his fingers on the window. His ; governess, Miss Hillvard,an earnest, and pious j person,'observed this, and kindly asked him to j think of getting his lesson. The young prince j said : ‘I don't want to.’ ‘Then,’ said Miss Hillyard,‘l must put you in the corner.’ ‘I won’t learn/ answered the little fellow resolute- j ly, ‘and won’t stand in the corner, for I am the Prince of Wales.’ And us he said this, be j knocked out one of the window panes with his j foot. At this, Miss Hillvard rose from her seat j | and said ; ‘Sir, you must learn, or l must put ! ! you in the corner/ ‘I won’t/ said he, knocking ! ! out a second pane. The governess then rang, 1 i and told the servant who entered to say to i j Prince Albert that she requested the presence of j ! his Royal Highness immediately on a pressing matter connected with bis son. The devoted ! father came at once, ami heard the statement i of the whole matter, after which he turned to j his little son, and said, pointing to an ottoman, j I ‘sit down there, and wait till I return.’ Then I Prince Albert went to his room and brought a bible. ‘Listen, now/ he said to the Prince of! Wales, ‘to what the holy Apostle Paul says to j you and other children in your position/ Here- j upon he read Galat. iv, 1 and 2: ‘Now 1 say j that the heir, so long as be is a child, differeth ; nothing from a servant, though be be beloved lof all; but is under tutors and governors until j the time appointed of the father/ ‘lt is true/ j | continued Prince Albert, ‘that you are the j ; Prince of Wales, and if you conduct properly ! you may become a man of high station, and j I even after th.£death of your mother, may be- j ; come King of England. Rut now you are aj little boy, who must obey bis tutors and govern- j ors. Besides, I must impress upon you another ■ ; Laying, of the wise Solomon, in Proverbs xiii. j 24 : ‘He that spareth his rod, hateth his sou ; | but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes, j I Hereupon the father took out a rod and gave the j heir to the throne to the weightiest empire of I Christendom a very palpable switching, and then stood him up in the corner, saying. ‘You! ! will stand here and study your lesson till Miss j . Hillyard gives you leave to come out. And | j never forget again that you are now under tu j tors and governors, and that hereafter you will j |be under a law given by God.’* This adds, the j ! correspondent, is an excellent Christian mode • of education, which every citizen and peasant j I who has a child mav well take to his heart as a model. i It may be proper to add that the younster j ; who is represented to have received this patern jal admonition is but 11 years old. i | David Fender “popping the question” in a let ! ter, concluded thus; “And should you say, j ‘ye s/ dear Mary, l will truly he your D.
