Iar7 sloclv TERBIBLE FIRE! palmt Chicago in Ruins! year;' Destruction of Life Sf Property. temp l . r -t at most fearful conflagration ever Tn p0D U“ scon ^ nen *’ une( l ua ^ 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. ment those necessities, anl in an increas ed ratio, every way considered. New Orleans is exposed to the bruut of all, and we think her policy should bo to ‘take time by the forelock’ and by driv ing piles and raising embankments on a Scale of Hydraulic works commensurate with the iuipendiug aspects, as well as those to be reasonably anticipated, meet and avert the troubles before they ren der opposition doubly onerous and ex pensive, if not impracticable. We know it is customary for persons at a distance from scenes of such like dangers, to dis tort or otherwise misconceive their true import—and we also know what apathy or indifference prevails with those who are necessitated to face them daily, or because no vet j great calamity has oc curred are doubtful that any ever will— to go on rejoicing or so hopeful, as to be altogether careless—but there is a pru dence iu prepaiation, even if it is simply against the natural and unavoidable de lay of things, that amounts in the long run, to no inconsiderable savings ‘A stitch in time’ is wisdom epitomised, and its practical c-ffect should not be 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. New Advertisements* For first class Pianos—sent on trial- no agents. Address U. S.

To the Editors oj the Advertiser. , , 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. Another horrible calamity has occur red in Wisconsin. The Peshtoga vil lage mills and sugar house were totally destroyed by fire. From two to three hundred lives were lost. Chicago, Oct. 12.—A careful estimate makes Jibe uumber of sufferers by the fire to be cared for during tbo winter, 70,000. Cincinnati, Oct. 12.—Latest estimates of tbe Legislature are—Senate 18 Dem ocrats and 17 Radicals; House, 47Dem ocrats and 56 Radicals. Hamilton coun ty delegation standr—Senate, 1 Repub lican and 2 Democrats; House, Repub licans 5, Democrats 5. Reinforcements of Spanish troops are to bo sent immediately to Cuba to en force tbe rule of the Captain General. 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. TOMLINSON FORT. Knoxville, Tenu., Oct. 9th 1871. ly Prize stationery packages.

All that portion of the State of Michigan ly ing east of Saginaw Bay and north of a point forty miles above Port Huron has been swept by the flames. Numbers of the inhabitants perished in them. Five villages are entirely destroyed, and two partially. Others are threatened. There were large stores in these towns filled with winter goods. A steamer sent to their relief from Port Huron has return ed with forty persons, several of whom' arc badly burned. All telegraph offices r along the shore are burned. R.B Hub bard, at Huron City, shot all his fine horses and cattle to prevent them per ishing by fire. A light rain yesterday seems to have abated tbe fires. Prof. Ohas. Scott, of Hope College, perished in the fire; also, a minister whose name has not been ascertained. A GENT* WANTED. Exclusive territory granted on the PICTORIAL HOME BIBLE.
