The returns from other parts of Europe are more enooaraging, but the genural impression, derived from a re view of the whole field, is much leas favorable than that which was formed from a review of our own harvest fields, published a few weeks ainoe. Indeed, compared with the condition of American breadstuff markets, ilroso of Great Britain and many parts of Europe are in a stnigli'encd condition; and this fact, added lo tho appreciation of prices ante to follow the de struction of Chicago, ntsy be taken as a warning of future prices in the West. Origin or in* Chicago Fire.—The Commer cial Advertiser dispatches report as follows: iAte on Sunday evening a boy went inio a' atable on Dekoven street near ibe river on the W eat side, to milk a obw, carrying with him a keretene lamp. This waa kicked overby theoow, and Iho burning fluid Mattered among tho straw. This was the beginning of the great fire. A sin gle extinguisher on the ground, or aotive work of tho police in tearing down one or two sban- tiea, would have prevented the spreading flsmea; but the engine* were waited for, and, when they arrived, the firemen, stnptfied by their ex- ertions at the first fire on Saturday night, worked alowly and clumsily. Their i fforta nuavailed; the wind from the southwest blew a gsle, rapid ly the llsities shot from honse to house and from board yard to board yard, until the district burned the night before was reached. Tire Forest and Frairie Firms. The Wisconsin forest fires in respect to Ions of life, are os terrible as tho Chicago holocaust. Five hundred snd filly are reported in Iho morning dispatches of this edition as burned to ^eatli, and many have perished in the riven, whither they were driven to escape a more frightful death from the devouring flsmea. It ia bard to aay which presents the more start ling record of human ealamity, the burning metropolis of tbe West in her fiery agonies— or that vast forest and prairie region of whieh she is tho great mart—swept with all consuming flames—destroying everything but the naked ud blackened soil, snd driving the terror- stricken people before the storm of fire to death by burning or drowning. Nor ia it eaay to aay, in respect to three peo ple, whether death itaelf may not be preferable to the privations and sufferings whieh awsit the living. When we remember that just as tbe rigor* of their severe winter ate approaching they are suddenly stripped of all shelter, food, «J«ting. domestic animals, and even fuel and th* materials for budding new habitations, it Umt their situation is deeper- totbeseve'x 11 '^*’ *• to find a parallel sssjsrsisf-r —•*- —f JS7 "T OTW h off?ui^li ,0 “ ° f tb ® 8 ® supplies not only cats off tho main sourco of business to the n» fortunate lumbering population, bat will D rob! ably add to the difficulties of reeomu^Cte Chicago. Truly, tbo Went husbeoa terribl, of dieted this fall. J Col. Atxrt, of tbe Atlanta Constitution, called upon os yesterday, and we failed at first to ogniz* him in the gloom of our saaotum, owing, mainly, to tho masked improvement in his phys ical condition. Wo are glad, indeed, to note such nndubitablo evidenoe of re-established health, and hope he may long continue to thrive. Nearly all tho gaps in th* “burnt district' tu Bi nd, Ya., atll be fitted up this year. There Mnst be a Convention. We have beard bnt one opinion expressed as to the necessity of a convention of the Demoeratie members of tho Legislature when it aasomblea, for the purpose of puttingiorward the beat men for presiding and other officers of each Honse. This seems the party judgment, traanimon-Jy, ao far as we have heard and do know ourselves. The members of each House must meet and se lect the best men, and then pledge themselves to aland by them. There must be no guerrillaa nor stragglers to fail victims to tbe wilee of the common enemy. Let all wear the uniform and march in ranks. This is tbo way to secure tbe full fruits of our victory, and at the same time equitably divide tbe weight of reeponsibility now resting upon the ahonldera cf the Demo cratic perty of Georgia. We hear no objection to tbia policy, and we trust there will be none. In connection with the question of e con vention to make nominations, we vronld also suggest that on no occasion, heretofore, has there been more argent reason for the exercise of tbo gravest deliberation and the soundest judgment in making choice of proper presiding officers for both bonsca. Ability is requisite, we all know, but there ato other essentials per haps more important—certainly, sa important— just now. Ability withont prudence, e cool head, steady nerves, and at least a fair knowl edge of parliamentary law, would not serve as well aa these last essentials and a less measure of natnral capacity for the position. A man who possessed all those qualities, but was not bril liantly endowed as to intellect, could better serve tbo purposes in view than the ablest man in either body wbo did not possess them. Wbat the situation demands is safe men—men who will not speak or act until they have weighed all tbe consequences, and who, having once taken position, will not retract from it. There may l>e acme grave work to do at Atlanta dnring the coming session, and those wbo tJisll give it shape and direction should bo of a temper and habit entirely controlled by judgment and sound discretion—not passion and impulse. Bnt wo remit tbo whole question to Iho good sen so, tbo patriotism, and honest ilosiro to do their whole duly of tbo memliers themselves. They have gravo responsibilities, but wo are assured they aro fully alive, or well os fully equal to them all. Wo will not jicrinit ourselves to doubt that they will, in ell things, bo guidod by “ wisdom, justice and moderation,’ nor that they will lift up oar dear old Mother front the dust of hor long and biller humilia tion. Wo only desire that they bo truo io the principles upon which (hey were elected, and to their instincts and impulses as Georgians, and all will be well TIIK GEORGIA FISK.KS. The Cily Council of Savannah Las appro- printed $1,000 for sufferers by tho Chicago fire. The first foreign cotton shipments of llto sen ior, from Savannah, was por British bark On ward, which cleared for Liverpool, on Wcdnes- day, with a cargo of 1,700 bales of npland cot ton, valued at $132,000. Harry Green, grandson of tbo late Benjamin Green, of Savannah, was killed by a railroad accident at Northampton, Mass., on Wednes day. Mr. John Barlow, of Alabama, brother lo Dr. W. W. nod W. J. Barlow, of Antericns, died at that place on Monday. The Cily Council of Augusta will soon take Rome decisive notion looking toward tho en largement of tbe canal, as that project lintt now boon endorsed by a popular volo. The biggest chew of tobacco on record was taken Taeeday night, at Augusta, by a man and brother. It weighed 30 pounds, and made the Ill and h. ao sick that be bad to go to bed—in jail. The Confederate powder mills pro|terly at Augusta will be sold at anction, on next Tues day Ibo l‘Jth inst, by order of that sweet saint, Bureau Howard. The property consists of over ot.e hundred and thirty acres of land and an- m< rons fino buildings. Commenting upon some articles commenda tory of Gen. A. R. Wright as a snitable Demo cratic candidate for United States Senator which it publishes, tbe Augusta Constitutionalist thinks the arensnuent of sending an ineligible man to Congress lo try and represent Georgia would be ton expensive, and fleds tbe fact that Gen.

"SbonFIy"has been adopted os their fuvorile tune, by tbe colored revivalists of Daw-sou. Messrs. O. G.

Tbe Dawson Jonrnal lifts tho follow items : 11 em ark able Familt.—Th ere is a family in Calhoun county, consisting of husband, wifo and five children, that boa t of tbo following remark able features in their history : The husband and fattier never wore a suit of “store clothes," never look a dcee of medicine, never drank a drop of liquor, never ate a meal's victuals at bis own house cooked by a negro, and never took but one chew of tobacco. Tbe wife and mother haa never worn any other than a homo- woven dress except on Sundays, and lias never taken any medicine. Tbe nunc facts relate to tbe children as to the parents. W* Lite to Learn.—A colored divine, in hta discourse on Sabbath last, said to his congre gation that when Jesus Christ was about making bis appearance on tbo earth, there were throe opposing powers—one of them consisting of tho devil and fifteen Frenchmen. Accidental —A pistol in tho hands of Mr. J. L. Willis, of our lown, was accidentally dis charged, the load taking t fleet in tbe arm of a negro girl who was aotmg in the capacity of nurse, snd was carrying an infant in her arms at the time. Fortunately the child escaped. Th*- jewelry store of Joseph Jerger 4 Bro , st at Thomasville, waa entered and robbed on Wednesday night of last week, of $200 worth of jewelry. Four negro boarders in tbe Thomasville jail, by the aid of a file, organized a syndicate one night last week, and sought other lodgings. One was nnder sentence of death, ono was in for murder, oue for burglary and one tar lar- oeny. Their landlord refuses to be comforted. Cot J. H. Logan has sold out bis interest in the Griffin Middle Georgian to Messrs. Hant A Mangham, his late partners, who aro now sole proprietors. Eddie Stillwell, age Awclve years, and son of Rev. C. H. Stillwell, who lives near Rome, hung himself last Tuesday. No cause assigned for the sot. The Dolton Citizen says that food moistened with strong alum water before being fed to pool- try, is a sure remedy for cholera. Rev.

A little child of Mr. James Langley, of Dal ton, was scalded to death oue day Uat week. Atlanta had her usual yearly cleaning np, lost Thursday. Tbe Era aaya several hundred loads of filth have already been removed Col. WUliam L. Strain, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Greene county, died on tbe Rlh instant; aged 06 yean. He was William C. Dawson's orderly sergeant in the Creek war of I83G. Mr. John Lamar died at Griffia, lost Tuesday night, aged exactly 84 years. He was one of tbe oldest and most highly esteemed citizens of that oounty. We clip the following items from the Griffin Star, of yesterday ; Haaax M. Johnson, who wss appointed to gnage the bndy distilled in tbe sob-district, consisting of the oountie* of Spalding. Pike, Monroe sod Batts, has just completed bis la bors, having imaged 6,869 gallons SnEElFT Gray, Maud, Branch Bowdoin, L. O, and W. R. Maugham, went out to arreit Dr. Lockhart a day or two since, and met with resistance from some of his family, and after tbe knocking down of one of the resisting party, they returned, being unable to find the Doctor. A RmtAUAr-LB Familt.—Mrs. Pitta, of Piko oounty, has raistd ten children, who are now all fully grown, and not ono of them ever used tohaeoo in any manner whatever. One Wade, alias Snow, Ku-kluxed sn old man named Andrews, from Charlotte, N. C„ at At- •>• two ainoe, and robbed him of 260, inflicting furthermore npon the old man the enrewiiag tedignit, of swapping hats with him. Hit name ought to bo /Shaft, instead of bnow. The Atlanta Constitution, of yesterday, aaya: The Macon and Western Railroad Lease Case. —Governor Bullock employed the follow ing able attorneys to represent the interest of tbe State in the lease c*ao of tbe Maeon and Western Railroad: Anderson A Lanier, r f Ma- eon; A- O. Bacon, of Macon; B. B. Hinton, of Colnmbns; \Va Phillips of Marietta. We are informed that the Governor got er- GjTornor Joseph E. Brown and Chief Justice Lochrane to determine the size of their fees, which are set tled at $1,250 each, making an aggregate of $5,000. At least the fees of Maeon law) era are thus, and we understand the others are of the itojo fcize. As tbe Supreme Court decided Ibst the State had no interest in this lease case, it will be seen that the employment of connsel to repre sent the Slate’s interest was muieotteary, and it opens np to probability the suspicion that has been emphatically expressed, tbst Governor Bullock is spending tbe State's money to gu n Democratic friends. It is fortunate, however, that he selects such men as tbe above, who are ineorrupuble, and wbo would have spurned tbe fee bad they have thought such a thing was contemplate d. But tnere is another view to this esse. Of course a lawyer takes fees as they come, their legitimate professional services being in the market and bringing them meat and bread.— But this wholesale employment of large num bers of attorneys at the capriee of the Execu tive at State expense should and must be stopped. Tho people demand it, and it is one of the pressing duties of the new Legislature to attend to this. Railway Fnrcbose*. Tho Knoxville Press and Herald of the 12th We live in a day of mementoes financial operations. We chronicled, on yesterday, the pnrebase of the Knoxville and Kentucky Rail road, by W. B. Johnston A Co., representing the lessees of the Western and Atlantic Railroad and the Pennsylvania Central, tor $330,000. Also tbe purchase of the Cincinnati, Cumber land Gap and Charleston Railroad, by the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Company, for $300,000. _ On Monday, also, at Nashville, the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad Company purchased from the Railroad Commissioners, the Nashville and Northwestern Railroad, leading from Nash ville to Hickman, Ky. The price paid was $1,700,000 in State bonds, $500,000 in currency already expended on the read—for whieh the Nashvillo and Chattanooga Company hold a claim for extraordinary expenses nnder the terms of their leaso of the Nashville and North western—and the assumption of tbe claims of tbe United States Government against tbe pur chased road. Tim Social Condition Is pretty well illustrated by tho following from tho BInff City Times: Considerate.—On last Sunday evening one of our citizens saw his carriage driver “walking down broadway" with his best Sunday coat od, which lie had missed for some time. At night, calling tbo driver up, the following conversation occurred: Tom, bring my coat back, it’s too good for yon to wear. I no got your coat baas. Ob, yeH yon have, Tom; I saw yon with it on this evening. Bring it back. I can’t wear it any more, but I can sell it for something, and besides you ongbt not to bnvo taken my best coat no /tout. Well, boss, 1'il go git it, and accordingly the coat was brought. Now Tom, tbe next time yon must hare a coat, come np and I’ll sell yon one cheap, bnt don't steal my clothes. No boss, I clar I done quit take yonr close no more; and the conversation ended. Our friend aaya this is the best trado of the kind he ever made. If he bad prosecuted the rascal, he would not bavo reformed him nor recovered bis coat. If he had discharged him lie would have had the trouble of hiring another driver who might have stolen two coats and all hia breeches, the first chance he got. Uo is de lighted at his luck. * Tnx Sun says tbe bed of the Mississippi river seems to bo filling np at a rate which threatens in the course of timo to seriously affect naviga tion during Iho diy season. This year at St. Louis, while the surface of the water has been fnnr feet and one iuch above the lowest stage of water attained by ihe riverin 1803, there was at tho santa time only about five inches differ ence in tbe depth cf Iho channel between " years, showing that tbe bottom of the river must be three feet and fonr inches higher than it was in 1803. Sa in 1856 the bed of tbe river was fonnd to be two feet and three inches higher tbsn it was ten years previous. It is thought that tough clay particles are brought down by tributary streams from the cultivated fields of the northwest and deposited in the channel, and that tbe«e, forming with the sand a concrete mass, adhere to tbe bottom, inatead of being aconre.1 out by the nnnual freshets, aa is tbe case with ummxed sand. Chicago —Tbe New York Sun, commenting npon the Chicago conflagration, says* Oue g<>od result will be obtained. Chicago, when it is rehnilr, will lie bnilt mnch more sub stantially and handsomely than it was before. It is impossible tbst, in tbe face of this awful warning, the anthoritiea will permit tbe farther erection of those wooden shunties which were at ouoe no disfiguring and no dangerous to the city. For it is not to be doubted that bat for tbe immense number of these inflammable structure*, the fire could never bavo got Jhe headway it did, and tbns been enabled to over Como tbe more Rabstantial buildings of brick and stona. Exposed as Chicago is to fierce winds from both tbo lake and tbe prairies, to Imiid it of wood was to invite precisely tbe de vastation that has swept over it. In the in funey of tho city it was perhaps impossible to prevent this from being done; bnt now that its prosperity ia consolidated and its fntnre as sured, tiie periions practice should bo prohibited. Wesletan Female College—Wo are gratified to learn from tho Faculty that tho Wesleyan | Female College has opened its current session very prosperously. Two hundred students are in attendanoc, and everything is moving on very pleasantly and harmoniously. One Smoot, a Radical tax Collector of Tal ladegs county, Alabama, says that he was robbed of $7,000 near the depot a few morn ings since, as he was starting for Montgomery. A medical examination discovered no marks of violence on his person, and when it is remem bered that-tho act is said to have been done in a thickly settled neighborhood, and that Smoot has bad the Grand Jury after him for the “bad odor" of bis official papers, he may—really —have been robbed. But nobody believes it. He bos been arrested on the evidence of ihe Probate Judge and Treasurer. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS CEXTHAL CITY Purchase and! oin Association.

Rig. gins, died at her residence, in Bibb county, September SO, 1871, in the 59th year of her age. Truly "death loves a shining mark,” and tho insatiate monster haa never struck down from tho walks of lifo one whose absence will be so sorely felt in the oommnnUy where she liTed as this noble-hearted, Christian lady. Kindness, love, gentleness and patience were the beantifnl traits that made her piety con spicuous and gave brilliancy and loveliness to her pure character. For 45 years she adorned the Christian profession in communion with the Methodist Chnrch, and through all that long period her religions life was untarnished and spotless. Devotion to Christ and hia church waa the ruling principle of all her actions, and her whole character was adorned and beautified by the graces of religion. She let hor light shine be* fore men, and many were brought, through the influence of her bright example, to glorify her Father in Heaven. To do good to the souls and bodies of men was her meat and drink; and sorrowing hundreds who knew and loved her will rise np and call her blessed. Such a woman is a blessing to her family, society and the chnrch, and Her death is a public calamity. She waa an active, zealous Christian, “alwfvs abounding in the work of the Loid.” The Sunday-school was the field in which her laving heart found its largest dslight, and for many long years did this sainted woman, though feeble in body, gather the children of her neighborhood together in n eemmon log honse and teach them ucaided the doctrines of her holy religion. To her devotion, nnder God, more then to any other one person, a respecta ble chnrch was bnilt in her neighborhood; and there Sabbath after Sabbath, winter and sum mer, did this heroic woman go and minister to the religions wants of the rising generation. Her name and virtues are enshrined in the hearts of all who knew her; for “to know ter was to love her " Her life is her noblest mon ument, for her works of piety and love will live through all the generations to come. Withont the refinement and polish of the gayer circles of society, she possessed what was far better—a pare heart and a guileless spirit. Her home was always brightened by her presence, and her death has made a vacuum which can never be filled. Ko woman haa ever so completely won the hearts of an entire neighborhood, nor has any oommnnity ever felt so universally bereaved in the death of a single person If “the memory of tbe jost is blessed,” then certainly tbe memory of ihe be,ntifol virtues of our cherished friend will otct remain as a pre cious legacy to all wbo knew her. As a wife, mother, muteem, and friend she was peerless and faultless. Christ-like gentle- nese and abounding charity were the brightest gems in her oornet of virtue*, and made her character a fit example for imitation. Like Paul, she might have safely said, “follow me aa I follow Const.” Noble woman! we oh oil miss tbee from thy home, the church, the walks of life. Thy. friendship was one of the sweetest enjoyments and most highly prized privileges of our earthly life.
