New York, Jan. 26.—The Post says a gentle- msn, who has spent severel years in Macon, Ga., recently reached Newark. He declares the rebeltion ‘an utter failure. Even the lead- ers see that succes is gut of the question, while the common people wonld hail with delight the resteration of Federal authority. One ot the principal bankers otf Macon told him, “our only hope now is that the Federal army will deliver us from our troubles, for without that intervention we must perish.” The utmost destitution prevails everywhere. The con- scription is being enforced with pitiless energy, including even gray-haired men. Slavery, he says, is dead, and this is admitted by nine. tenths of the Southern people. Three years ago the fame man wrote letters asservating in strong terms the South could not be subdued; now pesteclares its only hope is in the Northern ar- mnies.

THE RerorT or THE Carer ENGINEER OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.—The twelfth monthly report of the Chief Engineer of the Fire Depart. ment was sent to the Common Council on Monday night. The apparatus is in about the same condition as last reported, with the exception that the ‘Western Hose has received 500 feet of new house, and an appropriation is asked to pur- chase the same amount for each engine com- aid any. Popne Chief again urges the necessity of the immediate erection of a fire-alarm telegraph and the purchase of steam fire engines, and states that the fire on the 11th instant, on Cap- itul Hill, fully proved the necessity of steam engines on the high grounds of the city; besides it is impossible to get men to work hand engines, The same fire proved the necessity for the erec- tion of a fire-alarm telegraph, as it was quite if not more than fifteen minutes after the fire was discovered before the alarm bell of the Colum- bia was rung, although the engine house was but three squares from the fire and a police station midway between the engine house and fire. It was half an hour before the alarm became general, if it ever became so, as onl: five of the eight companies were on the ground. Since the last report there has been eight alarms; four false and eight actual fires, as follows: The first at six p. m. on the Ist inst., in the house owned by Daniel Kealy and occu- pied by Mrs. Clum, on Virginia avenue, between Sth and 9th streets eist, cansed from a burning chimney—damage slight; on the morning of the 11th inst., in the frame stable at the southeast corner of 3d street east and Pennsylvania ave- nue, which spread to the ehh tcas A dwelling of Mrs. Devlin and six similar dwellings owned by Dr. Bates, involving a total loss of about 86,060, on which Dr. Bates was insured for $2,700 in the Mutual Compan y—cause incen- diarism; on the 15th inst., at half past eleven p. m., which destroyed a small frame dwelling owned and oecupied by a Mrs. Shea, on 2Uth street, between K and L.—loss about $200, cause incendisrism; on the 16th inst, at four p.m. on Maryland avenue, repre ead asmail quan- tity of hay belonging to the United States Gov- erpment. The false alarms were all caused by the ringing of church bells, which are the cause of nearly all alarms, owing to our not having ® proper system of alarms. The fire bells should be hung stationary, and rung quick— the direction of the fire from the engine-house giving the alarm to be struck at least ten min- utes after the alarm becomes general. During the year ending December 20th there were 121 alarms, of which 73 were for actual fires; 41 of which required the services of some portion of the de] ent; 5 were from bon- fires, 8 from burning chimneys, 21 were false, 2 from fireworks, 5 from fires beyond the city, 1 from a tar-pot, 1 trom a tar barrel, and | from lime-kilns. Theloss of property amounted to $131,212.25; amount of insurance on buildings, $140,300; amount Sale Sia erring. of com- panies, $61,207.95; showing & saving of $79,- $2.75 to the insurance Companies. loas to our own citizens above insurance was $56,( as $15,000 was Government preperty. Of these fires 23 were incendiary; 6 supposed incen- diary, and 7 unknown, making 33 which could be set down showing that more than one-half were thé work of incendiaries. There has been but one fire ot apy pote at which the chief or texgineer was not present 2s prompt as possible.” The have also been > The chief bas been ont to 26 alarms and Mena apd the assistant to 3 alarms and 59 free; eng whet 79 times A 4. 18 out in times; the Un daa in ries fhe Anacoain tre gn py peg any Et s mes, service 10 times; the "Metropolitan Hook and Ladder 58 times, in service 19 times: the Amer- tie Hook and Ladder 48 umes, in service 9 mes, The whole department has never been in service.at one fire during the year, though there “bss been several fires, where every _ or apparatus and every man was |, but there has not been more than ten fires where half the department was needed, and he thinks that where it was necessary to depend upon band engines the property has been entirely destroyed, except where it was saved by the Government steam engines, and there are places where, if @ fire takes place, and by ac- cident the Government : team fails to get there, there will be thousands of dollars worth of proyetty Gestroyed. He urges the Coundils to do something. There was ‘appropriated last year $22,969,25 for the department. In conetnsion, the Chief says, “I suppose you are tired of hearmg ‘it, but I will never tre in a :0cd work, so-4-will end by saying give us the fire telegraph, steam firee! and fire plugs, where there is water mains and reservoirs where there are no mains, and try ws, und if our fire Cepartment is not efficient, then make an ont and out paid department, he in Wy humble opinion, is the true sys- ma?
