—-“"U
To llu Reader* of The Sun
I hereby make known to the public
that I bare sold and assigned my entire
interest la Tna.Sot Publishing Con-
rant to Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, who
U now the sola proprietor thereof, and
hare relinquished its general manage
maat and responsibility.
This step is taken by me at my own
request-and far reasons el tf personal na
ture. I hare labored night and day lor
eighteen months, and the wear and tear
apon my physical condition is more *b»n
I wish to oontione to undergo. I used
rest and recuperation tor a time.
I leave tbja active management, with
Tan' Son having a larger circulation
than any (taper ever publiabed in the
Sonth lor tne same length of time.
Mr. SnmnclA. Bobola, who anoeeeds
tie, and takes charge from this day, ia a
young man of energy, nntiriDg industry,
of floe ability as a popular writer, and
talents as an editor. He ia likewise
widely and favorably known os a business
man.
01 Mr. Stephens, the proprietor and
political editor, it is needless for me to
asy anything. Hia fame as a statesman
and an orator of the highest order; his
great learning and ability; his pnrity
and spotless integrity in all matters, are
as widlely known os civilization extends;
and I prediot that hi" editorial career
will, in all time, be regarded by the
historian, tho statesman, and philoso
pher, as one of the most honorable and
useful of alt his great labors. My per
sonal relations to him, for many years
have been the kindest, whioh shall be
remembered with gratitude and pride to
the end of my life.
With beat wisliee for Tub Bun and all
connected therewith, and tor the good
ot all Us renders, and our common coun
try, I now take my leave.
J. Hznlx Smith.
By reference to the foregoing card it
will be seen that Mr. J. Henley Smith
has resigned the management of the
Basinets Department of Thx Bun. The
undersigned respectfully snnounces bis
eonneotion with The Sun, from to-day,
as Business Manager and Assooiate Edi
tor. Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, who
is now the sole proprietor, will, as here
tofore, bo the Political Editor.
All communications on business, or
for publication, not political in nature,
will please be addressed to me. Political
correspondence should be addressed to
Mr. Stephens, at Crawfordviile. AU
dues to tho paper will also be piid.te me.
Mr. J. Henly Smith, in dissolving his
connection with the paper, carries with
him the kindest pers onul regards of both
Mr. Stephens and myself, and the esteem
of both as a man of strict integrity and
superior business qualifications.
In assuming tho management of Tux
Sun, I respectfully solicit a continuation
of the patronage it has heretofore re
ceived, and the beat endeavors of all
connected with the paper will be pnt
forth to make it deserving even a yet
more extended support.

THE BOSTON CALAMITY.
It seems bnt a day' since the desti ac
tion of Chicago sent a thrill of pain
throngh the ccnntry; and the cry of
angnish cent np by her rained inhabit
ants engaged the sympathies of Human
ity; and, yet, scarce has the dekrit been
oloared away ere the flames hare again
bant forth, laid waste one of the oldest
and wealthiest cities on the eontineet,
and. In one night, the monuments of
genius, the triumph,! of architeotnre,
and the earnings of years of indnstry
have been swept away.
The fire in Boston is, perhaps, the
most extensive that has ever taken place,
If we oonaider it in the destruction it
has made, it equals that ot London; In
tha lost of money consequent, it equals
Chicago; in the obliteration of historic
landmarks, whieb are olten beyond price,
it exceeds them both. Aa the cradlo of
American-Liberty most ever In tercet the
patriotic oitizen who eherizbea the mem
oriee of the Revolution, the loss of many
old buildings, aside from other consid
oration*, would be a matter (or hia regret.
Bui they are destroyed. The atately
business blocks of Sommer, Congress
and other streets, are charred masses of
rubbish; manufacturing places are ru
ined, dwellings hare disappeared; and,
in the cold, caul air of a November night,
thousands of children and women suf
fered the keen blasts of a Northern win-
ter, with

The lore is hastily estimated at $200,-
000,000; bnt, Judging from the extent of
of the confWgratioa and the locality in
which it occurred, we are confident it ia
much worse—$60,000,000 at least.
The fire in Chicago occurred October
8th, 1871. It destroyed 18,000 houses,
and property to the value ot $200,000,000.
Teaman were killed, sad 80,000 prerena
left without shelter. Full reports from
Boston will, we believe, show the eesi
ties there to have been much greater.
The population of Boston ia 250,520;
that of Chicago 298,977.
In the fires throngh the Miehigan and
Minnesota woods last year over 2,000
persons lost their lives.

Fottaaa or Iho Mard.r.
In GHameock county, near the line di
Tiding Qlaseoock and Washington conn-
ties, ia a bridge, known as Kitchens
bridge. About one hundred yards from
this bridge, a yonng man namod Renben
Armor, has recently erected a small store
house, where he has been keeping a
small stock of goods, snitable ior tbe
country trade. For two or Ibrte weeks
past. Mr. B.—, a friemf of Mr. Ar
mor, (Vo withhold his foil nsmo for the
present), has been on a visit, staying in
tbe store, and sleeping in the bark room
with Armor, whiob was oocnpitd as a
bedroom.
On Saturday afternoon, Armor, who
was drinking, had a diffienlty with some
persons, the particulars of which our in
formant does not know—at a house in
the neighborhood. When he came to
the store late in the afternoon there were
marks and bruises on his face which
would indicate that he had been fight
ing. He stated to hia friend that he
had had a difficulty, giving the namee of
the parties, and that he had been mis
treated, there being several of them
against him.
THE MURDER.
A little past t2 o’clock Saturday night,
some negroes, passing, called at the
front door of the store, awaking tbe two
men, who were asleep in the back room,
stating that they wished to make some
purchases. They were informed that
the hour was nnseasonable and they
oonld not get wbat they wished. A few
minutes later a gentle rapping was heard
at the door, and avoioe which was recog
nized as that of a man living
near by, asked admittance. Mr. B ,
who had put on hia pants, opened the
door, when a man in a black hood and
gown, covering completely bis body,
with a navy piatol in hand, pushed him
self inside, psstMr. B , who, though
much startled, demined hia business.
No reply was made, bnt the piatol was
turned from Mr. B , and pointed at
Armor. Two other men in similar dis
guise now oame in; Armor was seized
forcibly, being totally unarmed and car
ried ont the door.
A fourth man in disguise, armed with
a musket or carbine, pointed it toward
Mr. B., who grappled with his would-bo
er. In-the aeuffi* tha gun was
fired, and the third fioger of Mr. B.’a
left band shot off. Another one of the
disguised men ooming np just at this
Juncture, Hr. B. was very wisely “seized
with a leaving," which he effected by
means of a window in the back room,
whioh tbe Iittlo negro boy wbo slept on
the floor in the office, bad already
opened, to effect his own escape.
Mr. B. ran from the house some dis
tance, and lay oat in tbe woods nntil
day, when he called fur tome of the
neighbors to go with him to the store,
where they tound Armor dead, hia throat
ont from ear to ear, and his head orushed
and mangled. A coroner's jury was
summoned, and a verdict rendered, that
the dsoeased oame to death by the hand
of some nnkuown parties.
Great excitement and indignation ia
felt in Glasscock and Washington.
Mr. B., from whom we obtain the fore
going particulars, oame to Atlanta this
morning to procure from the State or
Doited States authorities tha immediate
arrest of tho murderers. He slates that
he knows who two of tha disguised men
were, and haa proof to conviot them.
We are satisfied of tha truthfulness of
Mr. B—'s statements.
The murder cannot be attributed to
any politioal causes, unless tbo murder
ers were Radioala, for both Mr. Armor
and Mr. B were known to bo Demo
crats. The outrage is evidently caused
by a personal animosity, aggravated by
that evil provocative of so much crime
and unhappiucas in oar land—strong
drink.

AXldulgrit dapatolioa
Washington, Nov. 10.—The entire
oommanity was to-day startled by the
news of the great fire in Boston, an ac
count of which was published in the Sun
day morning's papers. Tbe desire
to learn further particulars was intense,
especially among the citizens of Massa
chusetts sojourning in ’Washington, in
cluding Secretary Bontweli. Hundreds
of them during the day thronged tbe of
fice of the New York Associated Press,
in pursuit of further intelligence.
Maps of tbe oity of Boston were pro
duced, in order to trait- the limite of the
burned district. The explanations given
by those familiar with the locality,
Secretary Bontweli umong tha nnmber,
ia increasing the general interest.
Crowds also gathered at the hotels and
telegraph office, where dispatches re
ceived from time to time were the snb-
ject of comment.
Tbe excitement was at least aa great as
at tbs time of tbe Chicago fire.
Extras giving the latest details were
iuued by the Chronicle and the Repub
lican newspaper offices, and were eagerly
purchased by all elutes of tbe comma-
nity,
Secretary Boutweil received a dispatch
this afternoon from General Burt, Post
master at Boston, saying tbe present
poetoffice an-1 sub-Tri tu-ury is low Dom
ing. Tbe Treasury vault will not be in
jured. Tho new building haa suffered
little. Tbe Centre Block aronud the
uew office is destroyed.
The lire makes a clean sweep from the
head of Summer street to Fort Hill
Many dispatches liavo been received
by Iho S> cretnry of the Treasury, from
bankers and insurance companies, both
in Boston anu New York, saying there is
quite a panic in those cities.
Tho Secretary telegraphed them that
there is no reason for a panio, and a dis
patch not to yiold, us he will do oil he
can (o sustain them. Secretary Boat-
well in tended leaving Washington to-mor
row, to remain till Friday, on matters
of importance, bat he will not do so, as
business originating on the Boston fire
may require his pretenoe in this eity.
The Assistant Secretary of the Tress-
ary, Richardson, was to here left Boston
for Washington last night
Ha has been telegraphed by the Sec
retary to remain there. If he bos already
left Bouton he will be intercepted by the
telegram on the way and requested to
return. The Comptroller of the Oar-
renoy, Knox, and Mr. Bigelow, ohief of
the Loan Division of the Treasury De
portment, left for Boston to-night, at
the instance of the Secretary ^ the
Treasury, to look after the Government’s
internet in Boston, and to report to bim
the foots in tbe cobs.
Mr. Leopold, Ohief of tbe Sub-Treas
ury Barren, was to have accompanied
these gentlemen, but it was subseqnently
determined he should remain here to
answer business demands from Boston,
and to send snob supplies thither
maybe needed for the Sab-
Treasnry. It was only last Satur
day that the examination ot the
accouuts of the Assistant Treasury at
Boston was oomplcte. Mr. Conant, tbe
chief of the Warrant Division of tbe
Treasury Department, is now in Boston,
and will render snch assistance as the
Treasury officials may require.
The Fostmsster-Gcneral has also taken
action concerning post-offioe affairs in
Boston,
Boston, November 10.—A meeting of

A bureau of relief was also or
ganized—ex-Mayor Nororoas treasurer.
At 3 r. m. the progress of tho flames
in tho direction of the water ia obeoked,
and tbo fire seems to be well under con
trol everywhere.
Tbe new Pontoffioe uud snb-Treasory
building, was for a long time exposed to
the fierce flames and smoke, but was
sourcely scarred. This massive fire-proof
structure saved the Boston Morning Post
buildiug, directly opposite, and Helped
greatly in preventing the fira from resell

Tbe old South Church also escaped,
though several timet given up for lost
Tbe costly and beautiful Transcript
