Tub Finn *t Chicago SuinfXD Ur.—It is es timated, opon wbat may be regarded as good authority, that the fire eovered over 2,000 acres iu the heart of the city; over 20,000 buildings were destroyed, and 93,000 persona diapoaeased of their borne*; !K>,000 buildings are left stand ing : .10,000 people have loft the city, and 280,000 remain. Upwards of sixty of the finest ehurcbe* were totally destroyed. Five groin elevator* were burned, with 1,COO,000 bushel* of grain; eleven elevator* remain uninjured, containing .1,000,000 bushels of groin. One- half of the enure pork product wa* burned, with the lAnio proportion of floor. Eighty thousand ton* of coal were consumed, and about tbo Heme amount is on hand. Fifty million fret of lumber were burned, aud two hundred aud forty million feet remain nnbarmod—nearly one-qnarter enough to robcild the waste places The stock of leather was reduced to abont one quarter, the value of that burned being about $95,000. The greater portion of the stock* of groceries, dry goods, aud bools and shoe* were burned, with more than one-half of tbe ready-made olothing, but the quantities destroyed were scarcely equal lo three weeks’ supply, and are being rapidly replaced. Abont ten par cent, of the currency waa burned.

Charles Voysey, the English clergyman condemned for heresy some time since, is attempting to fonnd n new ehuroh. Among other novelties, he naoa • litany whioh conlaina tbe following beseech- mat: “That it may please Thee to help all literary persona and editors of the pnblio press, that they may nse all their powers in the eanse of troth and rlghteonaneas, and rite above the praise and blame of men.” There outfit lo be nothing heretical in each •n addition to the prayers of tbo congregation AI1 editors need to be prayed for—some groat deal more than others, it ia true; bnt will hurt none of them. Tbe people who hold daily converse with the thirty millions of read, an and thinkers who oompoea tbo population of the United States, might to be nnder a eon atant aanae of their responsibility to God and tbeir country. They ought to be very earcfnl to avoid errors of fact and of opinion. They should be a* chary of pandering to prejndioe, and all those evil passions which distract tbe State, aoclety and the ehnroh as the fanner ia to sow pure seed in the ground There is no dais of'men in the wide world who wield so extensive an Influence; and as population and knowledge increase, tbe pros* outruns them as the aooepted and universal agent of public in. formation. If, therefore, the newspaper proas fails to imbibe a deeper and graver senae of ita own aooonntabilily, it is cqnally untrue to itself and to theeonntry. It will be nntrue to its minion and will be eouipelltd to undergo a re volutionary ordeal. It will be oompeUed to txt- oome more judicial, unprejudiced and impar tial. To view facta and events from nnbiaaed standpoints. No wise man wants to be misled on any point, and even the man of strong pre judices, become*, at last, impatient of a pander when he begin* to suspect it In this age of cniveraal and rapid movement—physical and intellectual—the people will demand auoh in creasing earnestness, candor, freedom, inde pendence and troth from the newspaper press. Wnxax u rax Foot KiixasJ-There is s very aotive, oouiplete and dangerous fool somewhere down in East Fioripa, who ia doing mischief to that oountry through the papers. A few weeks ago h* introduced to the proas a terrifio account of an extensive eaving of the limestone Croat in Marion county. As Umeainks are only too oom- rnon it Florida, the story waa credited to a great extent—much, we suppose, to the drainage of a very valuable comity. There is a wide spread deal re among people who bny land to have ita aarfaoe stay permanently on top; and the story of this geologies! performance, wherever whole square miles suddenly sunk below water, has been road by thousands who will never see the laugh over a successful hoax. The same fertile genius has started another frightful narrative of a grand ernption of the alligators in Orange oounty upon the people and cattle thereof. Now, ae there are too many alligators in Florida for comfort, the puhho sensitiveness on that point does not demand irritation at this time even in way of jest. Evidently the fellow means to go throngh with all the horrors seriatim. He ha* got next to write a hoax founded on the poisonous snakes which aie somewhat numerona —then upon the aoorpiona and forest spiders the sharks and atingaroea, and finally upon the mosquitoes, wherein hi* wildest hoax will be no groat exaggeration. If Floridians want immi gration they should spare no expense to atop these papers. VI4COM A Mltr.v.swIt K It. K. ‘•Development” Ex traor«linnry,“Over (lie Left-” Months ago we raised a note of warning our friends in Southwest Georgia to beware the Kimball money, and the danger of confiding too much in the promises of the managers of the Brunswick and Albany Bail road. At Ibe time of tbe passage of tbe bill through the agency of lobby workers calling themselves Demoenta, and who, it is currently reported, “Aad their reward," it was openly charged that members of the General Assembly had been bribed with shares of tha capital stock to grant the State aid called for. This charge has never been refuted to tbe satisfaction of tbe people. Wbat we wish to denounce at this time ia tbe wrong which has been inflicted upon the inno cent bat credulous people of Southwest Geor- Hard working, necessitous mechanics, have the wretched staff yclept "Kimball money" still on hand, and cannot pnrehaie a morsel of bread with it. Honest contractors who bought moles and carta, hired laborers, and abandoned their ordinary pnnnita to fulfill their obliga tions, are left without employment, and worse still, 7uire not been paid for their labors. One of these, a bridge contractor, told the writer re cently, that with $J,100 owing him, he had been refused credit at the company's commissa ry for a sack of floor. Another salaried offioer, a most worthy, efficient, and needy gentleman, has several hundred dollars due him, and his family suffer for the want of bis earnings. More than all this, stimulated by poeitivB assurances that the road would certainly be completed by November first, buildings have been erected in Gnlhbert, large stocks of goods purchased, and preparations madp for a heavy trade. How stands the matter? Many valuable stores are withont tenants, hundreds of destitute laborers, many of them unpaid, are out of employment end can get no work at this season, and tbs peo ple are gloomy and disheartened. AU honest men viewed the grant of $23,000 in gold per mile to thi# particular road, aa a frond upon the tax payers of Georgia. They were con firmed in this belief when a bankrupt Badical adventurer was elected President, who immedi ately subsidized with “white money”and tempt ing contracts, ail creation, to pnsh tbo work throngh by hook or crook, (mostly crook, how ever,) before the Legislators could give tbe coup de grace to the whole concern. Tbe bonds to tbe extent of five millions of dollars we are as sured, were issued, and duly signed, and placed in tbe hands of Gov. Bollock. How many Kim ball got, or what oar non-resident Governor has done with the balance, this deponent cannot say. We hope the people’s Representatives, however, will take speedy measures to find out. All Ibis is tbe resalt of a stupendous specu lation, whioh would, even if successful, have feathered the neats of a few only, and left the ovarbnr^pned tax payers of the State to carry the bag and bear tbe harden. People of Georgia, behold the folly of State aid promiacnonaly to all railroad enterprises. Learn a lesson also from the dearly bonght ex perience of your sister State of Tennessee. It is very safe to say, whenever a railroad project will pay, capital and labor will assured ly nnito to constrict it This will prove a trne tost in a majority of eases, though exceptional instances may arise when pnblic help might be expedient, because beneficial to all. How many of snch can be pointed ont? The Georgia Legislature Meets to-morrow, and begins what can hard ly fail lobe a laborious and exciting session. The subjects ooming before it are momentous. There most be a careful, olose and fair inves tigation into all tbe affairs and administration of tha State government since 1SC8, and deci sive measures taken to protect the State from bankruptcy. The jndicial system most be vised and amended. New election laws mast be passed. The system of Stste aid to railroads imperatively demands correction. A new edu cational system most be adopted. A new Legis lative apportionment will lie necessary. These are among the great measures of the session. No time should be lost in taking,tbem in hand. The session is only sixty days long, and there no margin for waste. Every white man Goorgia longs to see this Democratic session characterized by vigor, energy, pradenoe, dili gence and a high patriotic devotion to the beat interests of the State. 8hal! we see it ?

Death of Mrs. N. E. Qmtrleriinin. In another column will be fonnd a notice the deoeaae t f this mother in Israel on Tuesday, the 2tth inst., near Unthbert, Georgia Mrs. Quartennan was a native of Liberty county, and relict of Thomas Qaarterman, Esq., one of the Puritan stock, who emigrated from Dorchester, Eogland, to Dorcheeter, Massachusetts, thence to Dorchester, Sonth Carolina, and finally 1752, to Midway, Liberty county, then known as St. Johns Parish. For many years she was a member of old Midway, tbe mother of churches, and a devont and consistent Christian. Possessed of gentle and winning manners, and a heart fnU of the milk of bnman kindness, she was greatly beloved by her numerous friends and kindred. Mrs. Qaarterman was ibe mother of the wife of Mr. Milo Freeman, oar fellow townsman. Her remains were transported to the old moss- grown cemetery of Midway church, where they will repose by the side of her husband and rela tives nntil the final resnrrectioD.

We were indebted to Mr. Milo Freeman, President of the Combination Boat Club, last week, for a pleasant excursion of several miles on the waters of the Ocmnlgee, in the pretty steamer Daisy, named in honor of Mayor Hoff’s daughter. The tiny croft is thirty-two feet in length, eight feet wide, and draws eighteen inches of water only. Her model ia graceful, and almost withont effort she moved the rate of fourteen miles an hour. Quite a pleasant party of ladies and gentle men were on board, and all seemed to enjoy the trip exceedingly. The Daisy will be in great demand for pio- nies and pleasure excursions.

Nathaniel Hioon Crawford, D. D , at his farm in Whitfield oonnty, on Thursday night, from paralysis. He had suffered from paralysis, which affected his tongue, for about a month, and it gradually spread nntil his throat and head were affected. Bev. Mr. Crawford was the bod of Hon. William H. Crawford, (at one time candidate for President of the United States) and was abont sixty years of age. Nathaniel Macon Crawford was one of tore’s noble men.

Jr. Montinollin’s wounds, though not seriona, are very painful. Wo learn, however, that he is doing aa well ms eonid be expected. The con duct of the negroea toward these gentlemen after being wounded, was ontrogeona, and if there is an; such thing as law and jnstioe in Sonth Carolina, we trust that the villains will be brongbt to speedy trial, and severely pun ished. The nnfortonate gentlemen speak in high terms of the kind and hospitable treat ment they received at the hands of the white people of Blnffton, who did all in tbeir power to contribute to their comfort.
