The Courier-Journal says:
“Just one year ago Chicago met
with one of the most terrible calami
ties that ever befell a city. Proud of
her prosperity, and confident of her
further success and future greatness,
the people went a'yout the city that
fatal lay litll< dreaming of the great
ami fortune that tl:e night was to bring
upon Ahem. In the twinkling of an
eye a little flash kindled a flame that
in a few hours enveloped the doomed
■city-and swept to destruction the labor
of years. As the »ews spread the

set down among the things of the
A special brings advices from Osce
ola, Arkansas, to noon of the thir

still under aims and greatly excited
under reports of negroes marching on
the place. Soores of prisoners had
been captured and the jail was crow
ded. The citizens were shipping
their fomilies and goods to places of
safety.
The steamer Celeste, in route to
Memphis, Was hailed 15 miles below
Osceola, and on reaching the landing,
a gang of armed negroes demanded to
be taken to Osceola, but they were
driven off and the steamer got away
safely. Armed bands were seen at
other points on the river.
Fitzpatrick did not proceed to Little
Bock, buti crossed to Crittenden coun

the sheriff to cross with him into Mis

is stated that the militia are en route
from Little Bock to the scene of

Association.—On Sunday
last there was a Baptist Association
about thirteen miles from Athens. It
was what is known as Hard Shells,
though we bdieve the proper name is
Primitive Baptist. There were ministers
from other States in attendance. The
sermons were said to be very fine, and
a large concuurs^ of persons present.
We do not understand, or rather don’t
know precisely what their lx lief is. We
think they believe very strongly in elect
iou and predestination, and preached
that doctrine with great force and
ability, one of the ministers said lie
believed there were infants now in hell
not a span long. It is strange, passin;
strange, that any one who has been
educated in a Christian community
ehould advance such an idea. We
are very certain they don’tfind it in the
Scriptures. There we are told that
God tempers justice ‘with mercy,
Christ took children in his arms and
blessed them, and said “ suffer little
children to come unto me, and forbid
them not, for ot such is the kingdom
of heaven ”—in these words we find
no exceptions, the command embraces
them all. We make these remarks
with no unkind feelings for tlieir
church. So far from it, we have great
respect for them. W e havealways heard
that they were a very upright and just
denomination, and were firm os the
rock of ages in their belief. We regret
it was out of aur power to attend their
meeting for we learn that their minis
ters preached with great ability.

flames. Ruin stared men in tire face,
there was need of even the necessaries
of life, the proud monument of indus
try and weelth was but a heap of ashes,
but tire high purpose and tho restlcs
energy that characterized these people
in their prosperity did not fail them
in the hour of disaster. The spirit of;
progress rose from the still heated
ashes, complemented by the noble
resolve to battle against fate and re
trieve misfortune. Had these people
given way to wailing and despair, had
they covered themselves with sackcloth
and ashes, and sat down amid their
ruins to dream over th sir past glory,
or sought other homes where they
might shutout the recollection of their
faded greatness, Chicago would have
become the abode of owls and bats,
and the haunt of moody tourists who
desired to make themselves melan
choly in the contemplation of the
vicissitudes of fortune. But, as it was,
the ashes were swept away, the heated
walls were toppled over, aad on every
band the signs of renovation sprang
from the scene of ruins.”
“But one year has passed away

“ The spirit that restored Chicago
Is a type of the spirit of our whole

the Federal army did not give way.
The Confederates, with equal confi

a ray of hope. The war over, the
8onth set about building herself up
again, and all over the country the
spirit of complete restoration sprang
into being. Of course there were, ns
there have always been and always
will be, those who were ready to spec
ulate on the misfortunes of their fel
low-men, and. Ibis class being

HEAVY ROBll£RRY.
Tlie Pay Master of the Port Royal Rail
road Robbed—His Trunk Broken
open Sunday—Four Hundred Dollars
Taken.
We have just closed the most rc
markable convention I evei saw. The
Grand Lodge from the first seemed to
me more like a religious assembly than
anything else, ns for example the
“ Methodist Conference ” which cer
tainly does not usually excel this body
in gravity, earnestness ordecorum, and
am constrained to think that any
dispassionate stranger would have been
impressed as I was with the intellectual
and reputable character of the body.
Very grave questions were considered,
developed anddeterniiued in a manner
that would have been creditable to our
legislative assemblies, and in view of
their exciting character of some of
them, with great clearness, and settled
with much wisdom. The election of
Hon. J. W. II. Underwood to the
office of Grand Worthy Chief Templar,
the arrival of the talented “ Wright
Grand Worthy Counseller” J. J.
Hickman, of Ky., gave still greater
dignity to the body. The presence ot
so large a number of Clergyman had
from the first helped to give a sacred
character to the whole assembly, and
their constantly increased prominence
deepened the effect until it culminated
this evening in a scene, the like ot
which I had never expected to see out
side of a purely Ecclesiastical body.
First a closing address full of humanity
and piety, warm, tender and eloquent
meeting was poured forth upon our
hearts from the lips of that princely
“Good Templar,” J. J. Hickman.
Then we were called upon by the. G.
Chaplain, first to engage with him in
singing a good old foshioned hymn,
during which each delegate went for
ward and silently and solemnly gave
bis hand to the G. W. C. T. in token
of abiding Faith, Hope and Charity.

A little boy aged about thirteen
years, son of Joseph 1*'. Wampler,
living near Broadway, in Rockingham
county, hanged himself last Thursday
evening in his father’s coopershop. He
used his suspenders for the purpose.
When found his body was warm but
life was extinct.
Professor Plantamour has been heard
from. He admits the errors in his
calculations—i. e. his old calculations,
not his new ones whieh he has just
completed, and which are infallible.
These last fix the 21st of October,
2011—just one hundred and thiry-
nine years hence. We may take our
rest.
The Columbus Sun, of yesterday,
says: “A covey ot partnUgeo
alignted on a a leuce near the vesiueuce
of Mr. John riealey, ou Broad street,
in the lower part oi me city on yester
day morning, when Mrs CSealey suet
with a double-barreled gun and luueu

Several ladies and gentlemen witucsseu
this unusual occurreuce. Mrs. Serney
is fifty-six years of age.
One hundred and twenty-nine (129)

General D. W. DuBose announces
bimself in* tlie Augusta Omstduiion-
alist as a candidate to represent the
Eighth Congressional District of Geor
gia iu Congress, and will snortly issue
an address to the people of tlie Dis
trict. The effect ot fiis candidacy, we
take it for granted, will be to insure
the success of the Radical candidate
in that District. General DuBose is
a straight-out Democrat, against whose
adherence to principles we have noth
ing to object, but we think a sincere
opponent of Radical misrule and cor
ruption might find some more effective
and practical way of proving his con
sistency. The only hope of Radical
ism in Georgia is in the division of
the Democratic party. To prevent
discord in the Democratic ranks at
this time, every true Georgian should
be willing to forego his individual aspi.
rations and opinions—to make any
sacrifice not involving his personal
honor.

A. Herald correspondent; at Ni
agara finds Gen. B. B. Buckner, of
Kentucky, at the Clifton House, and
has this to say about him:
' Among the prominent guests stop
ping at the Cliftbfi House is General
uckner, of Confederate army meni<>
ry. He is a splendid specimen of a
outberner,- tail, finely formed, and
jerfectly free find outspoken in his be-
iefsand opinions.
“ What do you think,” I flaked bint
to-day in the course of a conversation*
“ of the present political situation at
the South r
“ I think,” he promptly ttnsflrflred,
it is the most deplorable that can be
imagined,” and then he continued:—
“the South is under bayonet rule.
A much worse military despotism can
not be conceived. Carpet-baggers
have stolen money right and left. We
might sell North Carolina and Florida
to-day, and they would not briug
money enough to pay their State debts.
Louisiana is not much better off. I
know peonle in New Orleans who PIJ ART 1?V XJTT t
would be glad to rent their houses for V ri * HILL
the taxes.”
You drawn gloomy picture, Gen
eral.”
Only the true one, sir;” he. _
out energetically. “ The South 'is in
much worse condition to-day than
at the close of the war.”
“ To what do you attribute this ?”
“ To the government we have been
under.”
So the remedy would be a change
of government?”
“ Precisely this and nothing else ;
that is, if the change be the right kind
of one.”
“ So, then, it is clear you are not
in favor of the re-election of Grant”
“ By no mean?, and these are not
my individual sentiments, but those of
all the born white Southerners. Grant
will get no votes except those of his
carpet-bag minions and thieves and
the negroes.”
“ All your people, then will vote
for Greeley ?”
There is no other alternative. We
want a change in the government, and
a change even uuder Greeley, with all
his impracticable theories and notions,
might be for the better.”
, “ How about the negro vote V
“They will vote for Grant, of
course; they will do the bidding of the
carpet-baggers; they will be marched
to the polls in semi-military style, and
votes placed in their bauds, which they
will cast, not knowing what they are.
They are told that if they vote for
Greeley, they will be reduced to slav
ery again, and they believe it. I do
not know how long this sort of thing
is going to last, ft is truly disheart
ening. There is not an instance on
record of any attempted resistance by
Con federates to the Government. The
people are loyal. Our country might
be made a unit, which it is not, and
the South be made prosperous and
happy.”
The interview was much longer;
but I will give you no more of it
The above is a sample of his views
upon the present political situation at
the South, and, of course, is to he
takeu for what it is worth. “ This
and nothing more.”
The Democratic gain in Cincinnati,
Ohio, is very encouraging. Hamil
ton county, in which it is, two years
ago gave a Radical majority of 2,797;
last years of 1,564. It reversed the
eugine this year, wiped out the 1,564
Radical majority and gave a Demo
cratic and Liberal majority of 5,646
for Secretary of State and 8,876 for
Supreme Court Jud.e.
