X >jHASTaoii8 Fire . —Between »ev
en arid eijçht o'clock on Saturday
morning laHt, a Gro broke out in the
rear ol the store belonging to Mr.
NlcUOiiAH Wax , MppoHite the market
boose in our city, which conHUiued
the bui'ding and mont of it» con*
tent«, together with a new building
in the rear, and another building on
the comer occupied a» a residence by
Mr. Wax —tho whole property of
that gentleman. The fire also coui.
munioated to a building above, occu
pied as a saloon and owned by Mrs
John A. Bills . This was also con.
•um cd.
It is not known how tho 6re origin
ated. The damp weather prevailing
duubtless prevented tho whole square
and tho one below it from becoming
involved in one common ruin.
The members of tho two Fire Com.
panics—Washington No. l,and Inde,
pendôndonco No. 2,—wero promptly
on the spot with their Engines and
apparatus, and worked bravely, ansis.
ted by numbers of others of, our white
an well as black population. Several
breaks in tho hose of No. 2, preven
ted tho members from doing efficient
oxocutiori toward staying tho progress
of tho flames arid preventing so much
destruction of property.
We sincerely regret this serious ca
lamity, which ialls with great severity
on Mr. Wax and Mr». Kim . h .
The only insurance that existed on
the properly destroyed as far as we
have hoard is that of $1,000 held by
Mr. Wax , whose entire loss, we un
derstand will much fully $20,000.
Wo trust that this may bo the last
instance of the kind where our gallant
Firemen shall have to turn out with
defeclivo hose, ï'ho hose belonging
to No. 2, I ibm been in use some eight
years and is in a rotten condition
We call upon our municipal authorities
and üitiisüns generally to give this
mutter timely attention, and by an op.
propriation or subscription, or both
combined, to endow the Company with
means to enablo them to purchase
the requisite quantity of new hose for
their Engine.
T p.nkmf.nts in D bmand .—There
is an unprecedented demand in our
city for dwellings and store houses.
This we perçoive to be the case in
nearly all of the principal towns and
villages now rebounding into life and
activity since the close of tho war
In New Orleans, Memphis, Atlanta,
Savannah, Augusta, Charleston,
Mobile—almost everywhere in the
Houtli, the supply of houses does not
begin to satisfy the demand, not
withstanding the fact that in many
of the place» buildings have been
rapidly spinging up and are continu
ing to augment by hundreds, and
notwithstanding also, that rent pre
viously high, are correspondingly on
the increase.
Persons iri our city owning vacant
lots, and having the means to put up
Htnall, neat and substantial edifices
for business or dwelling purposes
would find their capital advantage
ously appropriated by investing it in
isuch improvements.

ADMIUADLË DOCUMENT#.
President Johnson, in response to
a resolution of fhe U. S. Senate, (Jail
ing for information as to thn condi
tion of the Statu« lately in rebellion,
Communicated to that body on the
19th u!t„ the special message and
accompanying report of Lieutenant
General Grant, which we annex be
low. The two documents, taken
separately or conjointly, comment
themselves to the American people,
for the calm, truthful and impartial
manner in which they review the
situation of Southern affairs, and for
the wise and judicious suggestions
embraced in them. Doubtless, a fac
tious opposition in Congress will be
slow to profit from the salutary views
and reflections of the President and
the Lieutenant General, but, we feel
well assured, that the masses of the
people will endorse and uphold them»
and that sooner or later the measures
recommended in them will he tri
umphantly vindicated and given free
scope in their operations for the gen
eral good of the people :
To tbe Betrita of lb« United fttnten:
In reply to tbn resolution adopted by
tho Henni» on tbe lläl h ifiatnnt, J im ve tlm
honor to »into that tho rebellion waged by
« portion of the people uftiurmt t.h« properly
constituted authority ut the O ivsfiirnent
of the ü Ii I tod Suto«, hilf been ouppreewid J
that the United Stele* »r» iti powwtnnion of
evory Stete in which tbe insurrection ex
iste!!, end that. »» fur n* Itooiil'i bo done,
the courts ol tho United fciUtew Imvo bees
restored, post office« r» <i*tiibli*botî, mid
steps teùen to put Into effective operation
the revenue Irwh <>f the country.
% A h the result of the memturts instituted
by tbe Executive, with the vluw of in
ducing a resumption of the functions of
the State» comprehended in tbe Inquiry of
the Senate, the people of North (Juroliria,
South Carolin», (ieorffia, Alabama, Miaais
«ir.pl, Louisiana, ArkntiniiM and Teniiof-.n'je
hsivo reorifaniznd their respective Stale
Governments, and "»re yielding oltedli-nco
to the law* and Government of the Uni
ted Stales," with more .wlllirigriewi und
greater promptitude than under tho cir
cumstances could have been anticipated.
The proposed amendment of the Constitu
tion, providing for the abolition of slavery
forever within tho limits of tho country,
has been ratified by each one of those
States, witli tho exception of Mississippi,
from which no official Information ha*
boen receivud, arid In nearly all of them
measures have been adopted, or are now
pending, to confer upon freedmen tho
privileges which are essential to their com
fort, protection and security. Iri Florida
and Texas the people are malting com
mendable progress in restoring their State
governments, ami no doubt is entertained
that they will at an early period be In a
condition to resume ull of their practical
relations with tbe (ieueral Government.
In "that portion of the Union lately in
rebellion," the aspect ol affairs is more
promising than, in view of all the c.irei;to
stances, eon Id well have been expected.
The people throughout the entire South
ovirice a laudable desire to renew their
allegiance to the Government, and t > re
pair the devastation» of war by a prompt
and cheerful return to peaceful pursuit*,
anil abiding faith is entertained that their
actions will conform to their professions,
and that in acknowledging the supremacy
of the Constitution an'l laws ol' the United
States their loyally will be unreservedly
given to the Government whose leniency
they cannot fail to appreciate, ami whose
fostering care will soon restore them to a
condition of prosperity. It is tine that iri
some of the States the demoralizing ffl'ects
of the war are to bo neon iri occasional dis
orders; but these are local in character,
not frequent in occurrence, and are rapidly
disappearing a» tho authority of civil luw
is extended and sustained. Perplexing
question* are naturally to ye expected
jr . m the great and sudden change in the
relation* between tho two races; but pry**
terns are gradually developing thameelveg
under which the freed m au will receive tho
protection to which he m justly entitled,
and, by means of his labor, make himself
a UHofiil and independent member of tho
community in which he has a home.
From all the information in my possens
ion, and from toot which I have recently
derived from the most reliable authority,
1 am induced to cherish the belief that sec
tional animosity Is surely and rapidly
merging itself into a spirit of nationality,
and that representation, In Connection with
a properly adjusted system of taxation, will
result in a harmonious restoration of tho
State* of the National Union.
The report of Curl Schurz i* herewith
transmitted, as requested by tho Senate
No reports from the Hon. John Covode
have beeu received by tho President*. Tho
attention of tho Senate is invited to the
accompanying report from Lient. General
Grant, who recently made a tour of Inspec
tion througu several of the State* whose
inhabitants .participated in tho rebellion,

iii« Excellency a. Johnson, President of tbe Ont
ted Stales.
Air—Ln reply to your note of the Ißth
Instant, requesting a report from nie, giv
ingsuch Information as I may be po.susa
ed of, Coming within the scope of tho in
quirios made by tbe Senate of tbe United
State* in thoir runolutio'i on tho 13th iriat.,
I iiave the honor to submit tho following:
With yonr approval arid also that of the
honorable Secretary of War, 1 loft Wash
ington City on the H7ih of last month for
tho purpose of making a tour of inspection
through some of the Southern Stu.es, or
States lately in rebellion, ami to see what,
changes were neoowsary to bo madfe in the
disposition of thé military fori*:* in the
country, how these forces eotild be reduced,
and expense* curtailed, etc., and to learri
a* far o* possible tho feelings and inten
tions of tho citizens of those State» toward*
the General Government. The State of
Virginia being so accessible to Washington
City, and information from this quarter,
tberef re, being readily obtained,!hasten
ed through the State without conversing or
meeting with any of its citizens. In Ua
loigh IS. C., I spent one day; in Charles
ton S. (J., two (lay*: Savannah and Augus
ta, Ga., each one day. Moth in traveling
and whilst »topping, I saw mach and
coavorwd freely with tho citizens of thoeo
L.-L.- -U-L. ,
State a, as well a* with offlwr* of tbe truly
who hMe been stationed among them
The following are the conclusions Coma to
by me: .
1 am satisfied that tho roassof the thinIr
Ing men of the Sooth accept the present
situation of uffslrs iu good faith. Tho
question* which have heretofore divided
the sentissent* of the people of the two
sections - slavery and State rights, or the
right of a State to secetie from the Union —
they regard as having been settled forever
by the highest tribunal (arms) that man
can resort to. t was pleased to learn from
the leading men whom I met that they
not only accepted the decision arrived at
as final, bet now that the sm ike of battle
ha* cleared away and time lias been given
for reflection, that this decision has been
a fortunate one for tho whole country,
they receiving the like beneBts from it
with tli ose who opposed them in the field
ami In the call' e.
Four year* of war, during which law
was executed only at the point of the bay
onet throughout the State* In rebellion,
have left the people, possibly In a condi
tion not to yield that reijdy obedience to
civil authority tho American people have
generally been ili the habit of yielding.
This would render the presence of small
garrisons throughout those State» necessary
until such time as labor returns to its
proper ohatfnels und civil authority I* fully
e*tab)lsbed. I do notrneotany one, either
those holding places tinder the Govern
ment or citizens of the United States, who
think it practicable to withdraw tbe mili
tary from the South at prosent. Tbe white
and the black mutually require tbe pro
tection of the General Government.
Tbere is such ti ai versai acnulesence in the
authority of the General Government
throughout tho portion* of the country
visited by mo, that the mere presence of a
military force, without regard to number*,
{»sufficient to maintain order. The good
o| the country, and economy, require that
the force kept in tho interior where there
are many freodmeri (elsewhere In the
Southern States, than at forts upon tho
sea coast, no force is necessary,)should all
be white troops. The reason* for till* aro
obvious, without mentioning any of them.
"The presence of black troops, lately slaves,
demoralize» labor, both by tbolr advice
and by fnrnfahlng In their camps a resort
for thufroedmen for long distances around.
W bite troops generally excite no opposition
anil therefore a small number of them can
maintain order in a given district. Colored
troops tnnst be kept In bodies stlfllciefit to
defend iliemselvo*. It i» not from the
thinking men Who would use violence to
wards any class of troop* sent among them
by the General) Govern ment, but the ig
norant in sonio places might ; and the late
slave seem» to bo imbued with the idea
that the property of hi* late mar tor should
by right belong to I. im - at least, should
have uo protection from the colored sol
diers There Is danger of collision being
brought on by such causes.
My observation« load me to tho conclu
sion that the citiîfmts of tho Southern
States ere anxteusto return to self-govern
ment within the Union, as anon as possible
that whilst reconstructing, they want and
require protection from tho Government ;
that they are In earnest In winhing to do
what th y think is required by tho Gov
ernment not humiliating to tbom as citi
zen« - and that if such a course was poin
ted out, thov would pursue it in fopd faith,
ft is to lie regretted that there cannot ho a
greater commingling at this time between
tbe citizei.s of the two sections, and par
ticularly, of those entrusted with the law
miking power.
1 did not give the operations ol the
Freed man 's Hureau thut attention I would
have done if more time had baeh at my
disposal. Conversations on tho aubjcct,
however, with officers connected with the
Bureau, lead me to think that In some of
tbe State* il* ali'i»ir» have not beun conduc
ted with judgment and ofionomy, and that
'be I »eitel , widely spread among the freed
tuüp of tbe Sou tbom State», that tho lands
of their former owner» will at least in
part be illvided among them, has corne
Irom tfiij agents of this Bureau. This bo
llef |»'steri0U "ly inteifaring with the wil
lingness of the freed men to make con
tract* for tho coming year. In some form
the Kreedmali'» Hureau i» an ah»gluto ne
cessity uiij.il civil law i* established and
iri forced, Securing to tho freedinen their
rifflit* and full piotection. At present,
however, it l»)lridependent of the military
establishment of ihe country, and seem*
to bo operated by tho different agent* of
the Bureau, according to thoir individual
notions. Everywhere, General Howard,
the able heed ol the Bureau, made friends
by the just and lalr'inetiuctloaa an d ad
vice he gave ; but the complaint In South
Carolina wu», that when he left, thing*
went on as before. Many, perhaps tho
majority of the agents ol the Froedmen'»
liurcttU, advj»o tbe freedrnen that by their
own industry they must expoct to live.
To this end they endeavor to »ecuro em
ployment for them, and to see that both
contracting partie» comply with their en
gagement». In some instance», I am
aorry to nay, tbe freedmen's mind does
riot seem to be dlsahtiKod of the idea that
the freodrnan has a right to live withont
care or* provision for tho future. The
effect of tbe belief In division of land is
itiloucHS and accumulation in camp»,
towns and cities. In such cases I think
it will be found that vice and disease will
tend to the extermination or great reduc
tion of tbe colored race. It cannot be ex
pected that the opinions held by men at
tbe South for years can be changed in a
day, and therefore the freed men require
for a tew year* not only law* to protect
them,'hut the fostering caro of those who
will giae tbom good couusci and in whom
they rely.
Tbe Freed men's Bureau, being separated
from the military establishment of the
country, acquires all the expense* of a
re parate organisation, Gne doe» not know
necessarily what the other i» doing, or
what order they are acting under. It
»coins to me this could be corrected by re
garding every officer on duty with troop*
in the Southern State* as agent* of the
Freedmen's Bureau, and then nave all the
orders from the head of tho Bureau sent
through the department commander».
This would create a re»pon»ibillty that
would »ecure uniformity of action through
out the South, would Insure the order» and
uistruotlons from tho head of tho Bureau
being carried out, and would relieve from
duty and pay, a large number of tho em
ployes of the Government.
I havu the honor to be, very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
U. 8. Guart , Lieut. General.

" He is doing very,'' well very

Fur "colfeeto#," ih« canvasser wrote

suit against the printer of the Dirue
