aw hi]- u gh° u t the world during the
the iWwj. ^ as j ust occurre ^ i° U* e
ter adapivS 0 * ^ re originated in
u atauie jast Sunday night. The wind
was blowing a furious gale from the
South, and large masses of ignited mat
ter were carried by its violence to re
mote portions of the doomed city, envel
oping it iu flames and mocking all efforts
at its suppression. To add to the diffi^
culties, the water-works were soon con
sumed, and the fire-engines were render
ed utteily helpless. Large numbers of
buildings were blown up by gunpowder,
and other means employed without a-
vail. A heavy rain upon the morning of
the 10th, put [a stop to this fearful ca
lamity. An area, one mile iu width ana
tour in length, is now a mass of black
ened ruins. Ten thousand buildings
have been destroyed, embracing the en
tire business portion of the city, and one
hundred thousand human beings have
been rendered homeless. The loss of
property is estimated at three hundred
millions of dollars. It is feared that
five hundred persons have perished in
the flames. Ten thousand merchants
will be forced to make assignments. The
loss falls very heavily upon the Fire In
surance Companies. A large number
have already suspended, while a still
larger number will have their capital
and assets seriously crippled. Great
liberality has been shown the sufferers,
and immense supplies of clothing and
provisions are pouring into their relief
from all directions. Thousands are
camped upon the prairie, and it is stated
that many have already perished from
want and exposure. A large number of
incendiaries and thieves were summarily
disposed of by the soldiers and police on
duty. This terrible calamity has awa
kened the sympathies of the civilized
world. Some of the results that may
naturally be expected to arise from this
appalling disaster are the uusettling of
values for the present, fluctuations in the
stock and money markets, a riso in the
price- of provisions, and a temporary
panic in the commercial community. At
the time of writing, all is doubt and un
certainty in the great emporiums of trade
in the North and We6t.

it is customary for persons at a distance

THE CLANTON H01GCIEE
Col-Tomlinson Tort Vindicated.
Knoxville. Tenn., Oct. 9, 1S71.
Editors Press and Herald :—The fol-
iug appears in the Montgomery Dady
Advertiser of the 7th instant :
col. Hodgson’s card.
Col. Hodgson having become satisfied
that the charges implied by a portion of
bis remarks at the late Clanton testi
mouial meeting did injustice to Col.
Tomlinson Fort of Chattanooga, prompt
ly withdraws them through a card pub
lished this morning. It is but justice
to Col. Hodgsou to say that at the time
he preferred the charge iu question he
did nothing more than give expression
to a thought that filled almost every
mind and heart in this city. That idea
was not of course formed on the facts
as they were first reported and under
stood. Since then, the evidence before
the Coroner’s inquest and the high tes
timonials put forward in his behalf by
the friends of Col. Fort, have almost
wholly exonerated him of all intentional
wrong iu connection with that dreadful
affair.

, , ni . , , Gentlemen : In my remarks at
overlooked by the Queen City of the.» the Theatre> on t i, e oc * ca8ion 0 f the
meeting in honor of the memory of dear
friend, General James H. Clanton, I
Mississippi Valley.
The returns from the recent elections
are most encouraging. The city of Sa
vannah goes Democratic by over 2,000
majority; half the negroes are reported
to have voted the Democratic ticket.
Texas elects an entire Democratic Con
gressional ticket, the majority of the
party over the Republican in the State
amounting to over thirty thousand.
E^The New Orleans Picayune ac
cording to one of our Exchanges, says
that, “for gome thirty or forty days the
Batturc in front of the Bazaar Market
and Red Stores, has been sinking until
tc-day, just below the Red Stores, it is
seven feet below the ordinary level—
the subsidence varyiog from three to
seven feet. The length of the Batture
which has thus sunk, is about 750 feet,
and the width 120, and there is no tel
ling where it will stop. The city Sur
veyor has made borings to investigate
the nature of tbe subsoil, depth, &c.,
with a view to tbe construction of a work
that will prevent aDy ^further 6inkage,
but failed to find any strata firm enough
to guarantee the permanence of any
such work.”
We do not attribute any ‘tidal wave’
tomfoolery to this announcement, but in
connection with it, we cannot forget the
old maxim which advises against the
danger of playing tricks upon travellers
or jesting with strangers. This is an
alarming sand sink ; that was a fanciful
rush of mighty waters—this is a reality •
that was an ideality ! The cry of wolf
in the one case no longer scares; the
bare sight of the other is a .fixed and
growing trouble. We trust however
that, as in a former and similar, though
less extensive, occurrence of the kind,
they will prove no more serions ; but ad
mit of filling up and eventually prove to
be a firmer foundation. Still we can
not but think tbe city of New Orleans
and its contiguous surroundings, should
be protected and permanently secured
by tbo erection of high and broad dykes
to guard against the continual and in
creasing encroachments of the Mississip
pi river. It will cost money ; hut far
more extensive ramparts and embank
ments have been constructed in Hol
land—to the exclusive protection of
which that country is indebted for its se
curity against the ravages of the Ocean.
Much of the ordinary levee system on
tbe Mississippi, will sooner or later,
have to yield to necessities that are al
most hourly accumulating; and with the
rapid improvement of the immense body
of lands that border the large streams
tributary to that river, will further aug„
ESP The Russian Minister is as good
as ‘bottled up’ by President Grant.
What the offence is we have not learned,
but Mr. Catacazy, the gentleman who
flies the Russian Eagles in the U. S-,
lias said something, or done something,
or failed iu one or the other, or both, so
far as to be inhibited from further inter
course with this Government. His royal
master will take him home, as per agree
ment, at the expiration of the Grand
Duke Alexis’ visit—having asked that
he Le tolerated that long for tbe purpose
of aiding bis son in Lis formal presenta
tion to tbe President, as well as to facili
tate the general objects of his visit to
this couutiy. The President in acced
ing to this request is understood to have
restricted Catacazy’s Role exclusively
to the times when accompanying his im
perial charge; and that when the Royal
Duke thinks proper to leave the United
States, Catacazy’s official relations
should terminate. This may all be bosh
but if only partly correct, we can but
suppose, it not only places the Minister
personally in an awkward and very un
pleasant position, but must cause no lit
tle embarrassment to tbe young Alexis
himself. Besides, we question if the
Emperor attaches much blame to his
Ambassador, or be would Lave deferred
more to the President’s first demand.
Altogether it is a singular complication
of circumstances.
Savannah Republican for Sale.
This old, consistent and truly valu
able Journal including its newspaper
and job offices, it is advertised at pri
vate sale, by its present Editor and pro
prietor, James. R. Sneed Esu., who as
signs as bis reason, “that finding after
several years experience, the duties of
the editorial chair and the cares of pro
prietorship not only incompatible, but
exhaustive of both mind and body, j
have determined to change my occupa
tion for one less laborious and exacting,’
We do not understand by this that
our brother who holds tbe frout rank of
the Editorial Corps of our State—and
would be a peer in any similar crowd—
designs to include himself in the Sale ;
in other words, that be wishes to retire
from the editorial chair of the Republi
can, as well as to get relief from the bur
thens of its mechanical, financial and
general Press duties—at least we hopo
such may be his only object—for his tru
ly efficient and trenchant pen could not
be excelled—while his long experience
and well posted mind—his inflexible,
conservative, political principles—all ad
ded to eminently moral and social habi
tudes, would hardly be replaced by any
successor. These arc times when such
men cannot be spared.
He needs a business partuer—one
whose capacities are equal to the de
mands of the exigencies that force him
to call for help—and thon with such a
‘span’ the Savannah Republican would
move on in its usual, if uot a more accel
erated pace. We wish him, however,
complete success iu whatever he may
deem advisable to adopt; and in aDy as
pect wo hesitato r.ot to reccommeud the
‘rare chance’ offered by him, as one no
less capable of pecuniary profit, than af
fording Dotable position to any worthy
adventurer.

red in Wisconsin. The Peshtoga vil

alluded to the circumstances of his death
and expressed my belief that there was
a conspiracy to accomplish his death.
One of the circumstances which led me,
with the people generally of this city,
to entertain this opinion, was the fact
that Col. Tomlinson Fort, of Chatta
nooga, who introduced Nelson to Gen
eral Clanton, was the attorney of Stan
ton. That circumstance was alluded to
by me in my remarks, I have since
been informed, through friends in whom
I have the highest confidence, and who
were friends of General Clanton, that
Col. Fort is a gentleman of great puri
ty of character and of high social posi
tion, and is not capable of committing
such a crime. I, therefore, unhesita
tingly withdraw that portion of my re
marks implicating him in a conspiracy
and acquit him of the charge implied
therein, and would request those papers
which copied the report of that speech
to also republish this card.
I am, very respectfully, &c.,
JOSEPH HODGSON.
1 am fatisfied with the card of Col.
Joseph Hodgson. I can appreciate that
in the excitement incident to the occa
sion. with the limited information then
before the public at Montgomery, an
unintentional wrong may have been done
me. I ask of tbo public and the press
to realize my situation as witness for
the State in the case of the State vs Col.
D. M. Nelson, charged with the murder
of Gen. J. H. Clanton, and to forbear
comment, until the facts are elicited be
fore the court at which Col. Nelson is
to appear for trial.
In my judgment, it would be improp
er, at this time, for me to give au expla
nation of the circumstances attending
the death of a man who I was proud to
call my friend.
I desire to acknowledge a lasting debt
of gratitude to the gentlemen of the
Bar of the 4th Circuit of this State,
also to several of the newspapers of this
State, and of my native State, (Georgia),
who 60 kindly volunteered to shield me
from an unjust charge of having been
an accessory before the fact to a homi
cide.
I request those of the press who have
copied the speech of Col. Joseph Hodg
son, to copy this card.

with winter goods. A steamer sent to
their relief from Port Huron has return

arc badly burned. All telegraph offices r
along the shore are burned. R.B Hub
