Chicago, October 9.—The Saturday
Bight’s fire has been subdued, after a
loss of half a milion. Vincent, Nelson
& Co.’s immense grain elevator was
saved.
Another fire in the western district
commenced at 9 o’clock Sunday night,
two miles distant from the oonrt house.
At two o’olook, this morning, the fire
had spread- fearfully. The flames ap
proached the telegraph office, and the
wire commenced falling. Twenty
blocks have been destroyed. The
wind is blowing a gale from the South
and the flaming brands are flying Over
the city, threawraingdestruotion every
where. •
The tower of the court house caught
fire from the flying grands. The fire
has reached West Monroe Btreet, a
mile from its origin, and is now be
yond the control of firemen. The im
mense lumber yards, with freight de
pots, have been burned. The Swe al
ready amounts to many millions.
SPREAD OP THE DEMON.
The whole city is threatened. The
panic is increasing. At half-past two
o’clock the telegraphers abandoned the
Western Union Telegraph office.
10, a. m.—The entire business por
tion of the city has been destroyed. -
All thebanks, express, telegraph and
newspaper offices, except the Tribune,
six elevators and the water works have
been burned. There is no i water In
the city.
Not less than ten thousand buildings
have already been destroyed. The fire
has burned a distance of five miles,
and is still raging.
The wind is blowing a gale.
It is almost impossible to get any
reliable detailed particulars in Borne
time, as there is only one telegraph
wire working, and that only to the
suburbs.
EXTENT OP THE CONFLAGRATION.

has reached Wabash Avenue arid is
spreading rapidly. His location is
three miles south of Wabash Avenue.
He expressed the opinion that the fire
will reach him before night
BANKING HOUSES ALL DESTROYED. '
Mr, Wilson, Superintendent of 4he

It is asserted that the water works
are still all right but the water has
been shut off the Bouth to supply the
demand on the north.
Thousands are leaving the dty by
every availiablemeana Great hunger
and suffering are inevitable.
GOOD SAMARITANS.
Every city and town offers assistance.
Buffalo subscribes one hundred thous
and dollars, Cincinnati two hundred
thousand.
In reply, the Mayor asks for cooked
food for the suffering.
, Firemen from other cities ore en

Great sredit is given the telegraph
superintendents . for what they have
done in getting communication from
the doomed dty.
AWFUL WORK OB DESTRUCTION.
Chicago, October 9—6 p. m.— The
awful work of destruction still goes on
with relentless iury. From Harrison
street, in the south, to Division street
in the north, and from the river to the
lake, an area of four miles long by one
wide, the flames have swept everything.
It is estimated that at least 100,000
peopleare homeless and in a suffering
*are lined, fw
hold goods as have been saved from de
struction. ■
The most generous offers of assist
ance in money, food, or anything want
ed, are coming from almost every city
and town in toe country by telegraph.
The Mayor responded to several offers
asking that oooked food be provided as
soon as possible.
Firemen are on their way here
from Cincinnati, St Louis, and other
cities.
The water works are entirely de
stroyed. Buildings are now being
blown, up on the line of the fito in the
attempt to arrest its progress.
Later.—lt fir revs befceyed that tto
spread of the fire sontbwfued, has been
stayed at Harrison afreet, but on the
nortli side there is no diminuatiou of
its fnry. This entire division of theeity
is evidently doomed to utter desfrno
tion. There are grave fears that the
flames may spread to the West side of
the north branch of the river and toe
inhabitants of the streets nearest the
river are already moving to a place gt
supposed greater safety.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany have now six wires working east
and sonth into a temporary office on
The Northweretera Railroad Company
are running brains on both its branch
es, which are crowded with flying citi
zens. It is now positively asserted by
some that the water works are still in
; tact, bnt that the water is shut ofl
from the south on aooount of toe quan
tity used on the north side.
A BAY OB HOPE.
A reliable gentleman just arrived
from the North Division brings intel- {
ligence that the water works are train- 1
jured. God grant it may be true 1

After * long delay, and overcoming
mwiy obstacles, Mercer University was
opened in this city, yeeterdty.
The beginning is qnite flattering.—
Parents and friends of young men are
in the city to procure board and lodg
ing aad otherwise arrange for the oom
mgof more students.
We expect to receive into the Uni
▼©ratty rad teach without charge, the
sons of all the ministers of the city.—
Also twelve young men who shall be
nominated by the the Mayor sod Ooun
cil. It is very desirable that the par
tutors of these benefits shall at once
embrace them. These student* must be
prepared to enter the Freshman dan,
or one higher, as there is no prepara
tory school.
The Board of Trustees at a meeting
held on Tuesday and Wednesday of
: this week, did all in their power, at
tins tike, to advance the interest of the
Institution, v„
An apjAopriation of $60,000 is made
with wuioh to begin the building of
our college edifices near Tatnall Square.
This wen is oonfided to a committee,
mainly of your own citizens. What
ever delay may occur in the progress
of these buildings, will arise from those
oanses always attendant upon enter
prises so great and important The
purpose is to erect University build
ings which shall be enduring, elegant
jand an ornament to this city for all
time to come. . , •*
The Board have now elected the
Rev. Archibald J. Battle, of Alabama,
President, and have strong hopes tint
he will soon bo here. He is a native
Georgian,, and possesses all those qual
ities and attainments which, in an em
inent degree, fit him for this high po
sition.
We congratulate ourselves upon the
Meroer University now, in your city.—
The co-operation of the oitisens and
kindly asaistanoe of friends ia toe city
and tul over the State, ia invoked, tout
we may speedily attain to success and
great prosperity.
The members of the Faculty will
take great pleasure in gmiur informa
tion to anybody upon uyshbject con
nected with the University, aodto*va

The buildings oocupied are the John
