PRACTICAL ARCHITECTURE. ? How to B n lld Ho UKO-Val o able Bugges ges tions for Fire-Proof Buildings. Captain Shaw (of the London Fire Brigade) ls thoroughly qualified to write on the subject of buildings In relation to fires, and he has .done so In tm excellent volume just published. Every line of this little book has importance; there ls not an unnecessary word In lt, for it Is written with a brevity al most military, as If the book was Intended for the use of the bri. gade which the author commands. Few books' lately published are more useful or deserving of a wider circulation. There is a great deal of vagueness at present among the public with regard to what ls and what ls not a fl re-proof building. : 'The london Architect says that the building acts have tended to promote this Ignorance in England, and certainly our own building acm are begotten in and produce Ignorance upon the tire-proof question, as well as upon all other building questions. With us building acts appear to be framed solely lor the benefit of bonus house builders, ano in portions dis? play a lamentable Ignorance of well-known and universally accepted laws of construction. A'state of circumstances! can hardly be imag? ined In which lt ls not possible tor a building to be more or less Injured by fire. To be truly fire-proof, according to Captain Shaw, a build? ing should t? divided into compartments, and so constructed that the contents of any one compartment might be consumed by fire with? out calcining, melting, or otherwise destroy? ing the surrounding horizontal partitions, and, therefore, without communicating fire to the other rooms or floors. Of course. In many loa tan ces, such an arrangement Is ' m practica? ble, as It would olten ruin utterly the most beautilul and important features of a building, and would very much Increase the cost. TBS PROJECTING WOODWORK of a roof ls likely to take fire lrom the win? dow below; and lo this city, where houses are generally built in long rows, with the roofs ot the same height, these cornices are exceed? ingly dangerous, conducting the Ara with great rapidity lrom one house, to the entire row. Thirty years ago these cornices were built of brick-which ls not only a s aler mate? rial, but makes ot the cornices a finer archi? tectural feature. There ls no stone which, sooner or later, will not yield to beat, but, as long as the world lasts, stone, it lt can be found, will (erm the chief material for build? ings Forty feet from the ground, according to Captain Shaw, ls the greatest height at which assistance can be readily given to' in? mates by firemen; and sixty feet ls the Greatest height which can be protected, ut, notwithstanding this, buildings of greater height must be erected. In fact, there ls no material which we can employ that has not some risk in ita uso. . Capt. Shaw aaya that no structure can bo properly called lire-proof if the ultimate strength of it de? penda on any metal ; and this ls especially trne of cast iron. At a temperature of 212 de? grees Fahrenheit, or the bolting point of water, it- looses about fifteen per cent, ol strength; at612degrees or the temperature ot molten lead, lt probably has no strength ; and 2787 degrees, which ls likely to be below the temperature o? the centre of a large build? ing on fire, cast Iron melts. There la, however, danger in the use of columns of this material, but especially so when they form the main support of corner buildings. Io this latter cane, Capt. Shaw would make it compulsory to have, instead, on tho outer angle, either good walls, brick column?, or strong hard wood story posts ot oak and elm. To some extent iron columns and other things aa well are protected by having a coating of plas? ter. Instead of employing iron In the floors of buildings, Captain Htmwpwould use it rather in the roofs. He recommends as a roof which .would have many advantages, one of corrugated Iron, with sliding windows, which contd be easily opened to let the smoke and heat arlee, and which would give facilities to the firemen to get at their work inside. The trusses he would have of lattice girders, plated over and pasaing through the roof, thus to form party or fire walls, xne openings or Internal divisions, he Bays, should be fitted with single or double wrought-iron doors, with atlffoera lu the form ot ribs, ralla or bara, and the supports for these doors should be of wrought-iron or steel, and not more distant from each other than two feet. Borne of the most disastrous fires were extended from the warping or bucking of iron doors from want of proper support. REVOLVING IRON SHUTTERS often form' substitutes for these doors, and have advantages lrom their lightness and ? ompaotneaa. But In all cases where Iron, whuther wrought or cast, Is employed, allow? ance should be made lor the elasticity and for the expansion and contraction lrom changes of temperature. There ls no material which ls considered by Captain Shaw so unsuited tor resisting fire as stone. Sometimes lt calcines, or will so crumble as not to be able to bear a load; besides it cracks and splits in a fire, and in falling is most dangerous He does not tell us wbetner he found any difference between a sandstone, a granite anda limestone. Where stone has been found to resist fire for some time, he attributes lt rather to the mortar or cement. Stone ls found to be especially dan? gerous when used lor Internal work, suoh as corbels, landings or staircases. . If there must be stair cases, he would have the core or frame of wrought Iron, and the stone only employed as a covering. For ex? ternal work lt sometimes answers, bnt never BO well as brick: In order, he Bays, to Insure a high degree of safety, walls should be con? structed of well burned brick E, or of some other.snbBtanoe whloh cannot be effected by fire, Euoh aa concrete composed of ashes, slag, or other materials whloh have been previous? ly burned. He regards a mnd wall favorably, but unless It ls formed of great thickness it gets ont of shape, if there Is not a frame im? bedded lo lt, and this latter becomes itself a source of weakness from diff?re? ce of expan? sion between the materials ol the frame and covering. A building on fire, practically, la bubjeot to a variety ot strains arlatng lrom the expansion of materials, from falling bodies, Ac., and hence la the necessity of a thorough system of bonding. ? WALL OF HARD BRICKS, laid in good mortar or- cement, Is no doubt very sound, but even such a wall, Captain Shaw says, la likely to fall, on an emergency, If not firmly bonded Into a cross wal), and enormous loss has been occasioned by the ab? sence of this bonding. He suggestB, that in? stead of buttresses, tie-rods, &c, walls should he secured by constructing them In a aig-zag form, with a strong bond at the angles. Front, back and Bide walls, he aaya, should be proper? ly tied lu or bonded to eaoh other, and this would prevent what ls very common after fires, viz: the parting of front and side walls. External walls should be firmly tied to party and return walls by strong wrought-iron an? chors of strength and number sufficient to keep the whole outside of the building firmly fixed wlthont the assistance of floors, roofs, or internal ties of any kind, and walls should under no circumstances be tied together by the floors or roots, so that lt floors are burned lt may not affect them. Cornices should be firmly hung on, or secured by iron anchors, each of good length. Bond timber In walls ls dangerous, and should not be allowed; hoop-Iron forms a muoh bet? ter bond. The effects of a fire reach to the foundations, as at such a time unequal settle? ments arise, and what the firemen call the "tumbling about" of walls arises mainly trom ne want of a proper foundation. From Captain Shaw's experience he placeB great re? liance on wails built on Inverted arches, havlog under them either Arm ground, con? crete, ora solid substructure. 8o much does he think of good foundations that he con? sidera lt would be an advantage If there waa a law that no building ahould be erected within fifty feet ol another except by a skilled archi? tect, who would be responsible for the strength of all the parts; or at least no build? ing of forty or fifty leet in height should be erected without a certificate from an archi? tect or surveyor, testifying to the sufficiency of the foundations.

TBE"POOR, DEAR MURDERER" AGAIN The Assassination or Anthony O'Neil by James C. King-Carions Parallel with the FUlt-Siokea Cage-" Pretty Walter Girl " Saloons In New York Spasmodic Activity of the Police-The Dehnt of Miss Neilson-Forrest as a Reader. [FKOM OUR OWN CORRESPOND SN T.] NEW YORE, November 20. Tbere is not a little Bympatby expressed in our benevolent community for ?lng, tbe "poor, dear murderer," who perforated an individual wc om be disliked, ? la Stokes, In Pine street, on Monday. -iLia true the mob wanted to lynch the periorator While the police were escorting bim to the station-house, but I have met persons since the affair wbo think the would-be lynchers ought to havd been lynched themselves. I will ven? ture co say that if some gentleman should take it into bis head to roast his grand-mother over a slow fire, drown his mother-in-law in the cistern, and blow np the remainder of his family with nitro-glycerine, a etroog and zeal? ous party would be Immediately formed in New Tor* to justify his course. Did I not hear the sympathizers with Stokes howling around me during his trial for killing Fisk : "Hounded down,'slr, driven into a corner, slr; bad to kill the scoundrel to save his Own life." Just so say the admirers of Mr. King : "He killed the destroyer of his domestic peace, who sought also to destroy his life.!*. There can oe no doubt that King delibe? rately calculated the consequences that might follow the assassination ot his wife's friend ? and adviser. He knew that be was sure of a great deal of public sympathy if be could ob? tain currency for the story that his wife and O'Niel bad betrayed him. He foresaw toe law's delay, the cooling off of the indignation that might be excited by the killing; the twelve "idiotic jurors" oaretully eliminated from the rest of the community trying the case; the pathetic appeal of counsel to a court full of weepers; the acquittal, the embrace all around, and the restoration to freedom. Ia not this amusing comedy played twice or thrice per annum in the courts of New York, and will the bill be ohanged as long as lt is re? ceived with such flattering marks of public approval ? I happened to be going through William street on Monday afternoon, and aaw a part of the sequel of the tragedv. The immense crowd at the? corner of Pine street opened, and there issued four stalwart policemen bearing a stretcher, upon which tbere was something lying covered with a white sheet. They marched with measured tread down the street, and the multitude dosed around taera and shut them from view. They were talcing O'Nell'a body to the station-house. Tbere are some coincidences between this and the Stokes-Fisk case, which the papers have not noticed. Tn both cases the murderers were adventurers and dabblers in stocks in Wall street. They are both described as "hand? some" and "refined,"- and wearing exquisite clothes and diamonds. Both victims were employees of the Erle Railroad Company. King, like Stokes, shot bia prey from the bead of the stairs. A woman was at the bottom of both morder?. I might continue the parallel to the end, but lt ls enough to remark that neither of the "poor, dear murderers" will be hung. Tbe polloe have made some more raids on the Broadway "Pretty Walter Girls" saloons and carried off proprietors, bar-tenders and waitresses to the station-houses. The course ol the police Justices bas been to discharge the girls alter a night's . incarceration and bind over the male offenders for trial. There ls some fatal defect in the law or some po? tent political influence behind the proprietors ot these dens of infamy, for they are never brought to trial, and always boldly resume business a night or two after the visits of the police. Visitors to New York from your city have not failed to observe theae Broadway concert. saloonB-lrom the exterior always, I hope. They thrnst themselves Into the faces of evening promenaders, flaunting great glar? ing transparency sigue, bearing the advertise? ment of the attractions (?) within. Some? times the entrances to theae places are hall? ways brilliantly lighted and adorned with statuettes of nymphs, and leading up-stalra to rooms on the second floor. Sometimes they lead to cellars below. The "concerts" are a mere blind. Half a dozen Teutons in a corner fiddle and blow horn? at Intervals during' the long evening, but the feature of the concert saloons are the waller girls. They appear like the ladles in Mr. Daly's company at the Grand Opera-Houae, in the costumes of the ballet; one ls a lalry, another a page, but whatever the pretended character may be, a liberal expoaure of the person la the conse? quence. These enchantresses are, with scarcely aa exception, vile drabs, the very scum of the lowest order of depraved women, and hideously unprepossessing. Their busi? ness ls to serve the guests with liquor, get them drunk if possible, and rob them. Strange to say, though the dangerous char? acter of theae places ls notorious, they are crowded with visitors, often to overflowing. From the time the theatres let out until long after midnight men may be seen streaming in and out of the hallways. The police sute that a large majority of the patrons of the saloons are strangers in the city. ' They are attracted by the glare ot the gas In tbe windows and the mysterious hints about the female loveli? ness within emblazoned on the tranparenoles. Once Inside, they are pounced upon by the women, wheedled or bullied Into "treating," and usually drugged and robbed. What a commentary on our police system and upon the labors of our boastful reformers. Theae places of dicoy flourish In the most frequented parts of Broadway, within a stonets throw of the St. Nicholas Hotel and Grace Church, and op? posite the Grand Central. Every man sees them aa he pasees, every New Yorker knowa or has heard what Ia going on Within, and yet they go on doing business, night after night, with none to molest or make them afraid ex? cept the occasional polite policeman with his harmless raid. Miss Neilson, the English tragic actress, made a very successful American debut, at Booth's, on Monday night, Hlie haa talent and beauty. The stage la almost bereft of women capable of taklug the grand characters of the drama. Besides Janauachek and Mrs. Seott-SlddouB, hardly one In America can be named equal to the Julia Deans and Matilda Herona of the laat decade. Miss Neilson gives entire satlsiactlon to the critics. She plays Juliet ai none have played it here since Julia Dean died. Another dramatic event ot the week bas been the appearance ot the veteran Edwin Forrest, as a reader. He gave his interpreta tlon of Hamlet at Steinway Hail last night. He came on the platform in the oddest of cos? tumes for an ancient Danish prince-store clothes, and holdlog In his hands his hat and cane. Opinions will continue to differ about Forrest's " Hamlet." One party maintains that he ls sublime, the other that he has no conception what-ver of the character. The audience last night was small, though select quite different lrom the howling pit-full and screaming gallery-lul whloh greeted him In the olden time. NTH. JOTTINGS ABOUT TBE STATE, -Dr. Thomas A. Evins, for the past twenty five years an eminent practicing physician of Anderson Courthouse, died last week, after a long Illness, of disease of the kidneys. -The Anderson Intelligencer learns that the levy made by the county commissioners of Anderson, to meet the expenses for the ensu? ing year, ls at the rate of ota? and a half mills upon the dollar, which ls the lowest rate qf taxation since reconstruction. .A considera? ble surplus in the county treasury enables the commissioners to ameliorate the hardship thia year by levying so small a HUT for county ex? penses.

The November report or the statistician o? the Department of. AgrtoWture gives to the cotton prospects substantially the same Inter? pretation as the October. statement. The weather has been fine for plotting. Frosts have been earlier than usual in the more Northern States, but an earlier maturity ot the plant is indicated, and.tb? past month has been quite favorable for the development of the maturing bolls. While the returns of the condition since August have been much be? low an average, they bave been higher than. those of the corresponding months of the previous year and very' unfavorable sea? son, averaging in October 82 against 76, and tn September 91 against 80. '1 he November retorna give the indicated total product in comparison with the small crop of 1871, and the average made ls about 16.per cent. In? crease, with an area in cultivation larger by 12 to 13 per cent. The greatest losses from the prevalence of the army and boll worm are found In Florida and Alabama. In Louisiana, Mississippi and Georgia, local damage has also bee'n heavy. In Arkansas a reduction ol tbe yield was caused by drought in July and August. The comparison by States with last year's crop ls as follows: North Caro? lina, 121; South Carolina, 124; Georgia, 119; Florida, 102; Alabama, lil; Missis? sippi, . 112; Louisiana, 121; Texas. 126; Arkansas, 105; Tennessee, 110. Missouri, Virginia, Illinois and other Slates, which, tOL'e'.her, produced 55,000 bales In 1860. In which .cotton culture was stimulated In sev? eral subsequent years,'now scarcely yield 10 per cent, ot tttat amount. The total produc? tion aa indicated by the returns of the drat week In November ls made nearly 3,450,000 bales. At that date apparently 25 to 30 per . cent, of the crop, or nearly 1,000,000 bales, re? mained to be picked and subject to the vicissi? tudes ot' the weather, which might decrease the Anal, aggregate by -beating storm?, or . slightly enlarge ic by a favorable season for . opening and gathering the fibre of the top crop. The indicated product of fibre per acre, as re turne '. from esoh county, makes the following averages for each State: North Caro? lina, 173 pounds; South Carolina, 182; Georgia, 180; Florida, 126; Alabama. 170; Mississippi, 200; Louisiana, 215; Texas, 220; Arkansas, i70; Tennessee, 190.- The area in cotton, as calcu? lated from the returns of 1872, is aa follows: In North Carolina, 450.629; South Carolina, 570.652; Georgia, 1,311.331; Florida, 168,099; Alabama, 1,387 972; " Mississippi. 1.437.6iS; Louisiana, 940,218; Texas. 914.269; Arkansas 693,572; Tennessee, 618,605.

Since the dose of the war thc increase has been most rapid. Northern capi? tal, immigration, new industries, increased numbers of invalid aod pleasure seeking visit? ors, have all contributed to our city's advance? ment; added to this our raliway connections, additlooal steamers on the river, and increased settlement on the St. Johns, have added to the trade of Jacksonville. Indeed, by locali? ty, facilities, capital already accumulated and population, this city la now, and ls deBtlned to be, the future metropolis of Eastern Florida, I if not tbe entire State.

A GEDEB FUTURE. HORE OB TBE PRESIDENT'S NEW DEPASTURE. Civil Law, Peace and Progresa. [Prom the; New. Torfe Herald, November 20.] We learn from Washington, la confirmation of the reports we havti already given our read? ers of the new Southern policy of the admin? istration, that, In answer to an application from the United Staves district attorney and the United States marshal at New Orleans for the use of troops In the enforcement of the laws of Congress concerning elections, the department commander, General Emory, re? plied, under positive Instructions from the President, that no mops would be furnished as ci ron me tances then, stood, but that the ora dals concerned must; proceed according to the laws themselves In tbe prosecution and punishment of perse ns charged with their violation. In other words, General Grant has determined tbat henceforth the maintenance of law and order lu tue South shall be left to the civil authorities, and that martial law, whloh Indicates a stat i ot war, shall no longer be the prevailing law of the reconstructed Southern States. This, too, ls an Important movement in the right direction. It means that Georgia and Alabama, restored to their normal relations a? States ol tho Union, are to nave the same Ju? risdiction over their looal affairs as New York and New Jersey. In this simple statement of the case lt will be perceived how lar this new policy ol recognizing. North and Souths the equality of the sever il States as members of the Union, ls calculated to reconcile the South. Under the continuance of a military supervision, alter tho Slates concerned have fulfilled all the conditions of restoration Im posed upon them, and alter their restoration under these conditions, there can be no recon? ciliation. But General Grant, in removing his troops from the govei n ment ot the local affairs of the reconstructed States, removes the most serious Impediment, to the re-establishment of law and order therein, AS suspicion cre? ates distrust, so confidence beget* loyalty; and while no government' bas ever gained anything by a policy based on suspicion, so no government bacevei lost anything lu a policy of generous confidence In Ks people. A general amnesty covers ihe?same ground. We cannot lui ly restera the lately rebellious 8tates without"tully restoring their lately re? bellious people to the common rlurbts and equalities of mern bi ra Of the Union, lhere may be but a hunt red or so, or less th ah a dozen lt you please, ot ez-cebels who are ex? cepted from the. bjuerita of amnesty; but many or few, th eut exceptions make u dis? tinction between Pennsylvania and - Virginia whicn onght no longer to exist. In short, while Jeri. Davis remains under his rebel dis anilities, alt tbe Staus und people concernen with bim la Meir "lost cause" sympathize wltb him in his exclusion, and leel that "toe bloody chasm" between the North and the South ls cot yet obliterated. Give ns. Mr. President, with the lupremaoy ot civil law lu the South, a universal amnesty. Including Jeff. Davis, and then will be nothing lea lor Southern Irritations or discords ur olasblngs with the General. Government. Davis has .-said that he has not asked, and does not in? tend to ask, for at amnesty. No matter. Let him have li; for this la the way to disarm him and his followers. Disarm them ol their grievance?, and the moral effect over the whole bouth will be that of a treaty ot peace. Give the supremacy of civil law and a univer? sal amnesty to the Bi uth, and peace and pro? gress will follow. Peace and progress ' From all sides the re-election of General Grant ls bailed as the harbinger ol peace md progress lor the Dol? ed States ou a grane er scale Lhan ever before known to any natlot. For example, General Grant has Just received a letter, dated Parts, October 13tb, from General Guardia, Presi? dent of Costa Rica, who desired to express his thanks to the President for his ; courteous attentions to him while on a visit io thia country last summery and- to-congratulate' him on the good prospect ol bis re-election,; whicb, says General Guardia, is an event that will secure to the great American people the continuation ol trael : colossal progress, while I securing to Central America "the construc? tion of an inierocea ile canal as the great con? necting link betweon the two oceans and the highway of the world, Looking, tben. ta our Southern States, to Spain and Cuba, and to Mexico and Central America, what a magnificent field for a new' policy of peace and progress lies open to Gen? eral Grant with hi s re-election for another Presidential term. Ezoeptlog Washington, in the work of establishing the Unlou, and Lin coln, in the work- ot saving the Union, no President of the United states has had the glorious opportunity which General Grant, with the restoration of the Union, DOW ls of? fered for great achievements in strengthening the government, and tn extending the power, the honor and glory of the oountry. And we j rejoice to believe that In the new departure Indicated he recognizes his trae policy in his opportunity, its advantages and its responsi? bilities. RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.
