It is cstimtiW that tlio losses in
grain alone in Chicago will amount to
il •2,000,00®.
Many of the suffering children of
Chicago are being sent to adjacent

to fires in the great Northwest are
attributed to the general felling of the
forest. That count, yis already sub
jected to disastrous drouths, and one
suggests that tho destruction of
the trees will expose that vast region
to Biblical famine.
There is a place about twenty mil vs
South of hero that Used to be famous
for coons nml ’possums and wo imag
ine will he again, when tho hushes
cut down by those railroad fellows
grow up. The only difficulty will be
the danger of getting snake bit.
However, hunters never stand back

"Work on the Brunswick & Albany,
and Bainbridge, Cuthbert and Colum
bus railroads has been suspended.
On the former from the N. tchaway
Creek West, and on the latter from
Cuthbert North Rumor has it that
the managers and contractors have
completed so much of these roads as
they had received indorsed State
bonds for, and that they wero doing
the work just su pended on borrowed
Northern capital. A Financial crisis
in the North has induced the capital
ists there to offer tho suggestion of
suspending for the prosent.
The number cf deaths reported by
tho Chicago fire has been exaggerated,
owing to prevailing excitemont. Bead
tho following dispatch :
Chicago, October 16.—There is won
derful activity in the south division.-
Thousands are ut work removing the
debris, erec.ing temporary buildings,
etc. Every laboring man, willing to
work, can find plenty to do and liber
al wages. The action of tho banks iu
having resolved to resume business
immediately, inspires confidence. The
stories about the wooden pavements
horning up are exaggerations. The
number of dead bodies discovered is
less than one hundred and twenty-five.
A large mass of the persons supposed
to be lost are alive and well.
Somo of tho laws of Mexico are of
fensive to a portion of the populace,
and they have revolted to their sor
row. Tho following was dispatched
from the city of Mexico to the Now
York 'Tribune on tho 13th :
“This afternoon four hundred Gen
darmes and cavalry revolted and at
tempted to take possession of the city.
The garrison rallied under command
of Gen Rocha and others, and at
tacked and defeated the Insurgents.
Two of the latter wero killed in tho
light. Their leaders are said to be
Negrat, Tuledo, Itiveroand Chevlmues
who managed to make their escape,
hut several officers, with two hundeed
and fifty men were taken prisoners
and shot the next morning.”
Texas Affairs.
- Political affairs in Texas nro not
satisfactory to oither party, notwith
standing the Democrats claim a major,
ity of 40,000. The Governor issued a
proclamation declaring martial law,
but it is oposed by all parties. A ros
olution to sustain tho Governor was
taken up in the house, and the follow
ing is what Primly, radical from Gal
veston county, said about it:
“I shall vote against the Governor’s
proclamation of martial law because I
think it is illegal. I will not be de
terred from the expression of my
opinion against the proclamation by
the cry of having gone over to the
Democracy. J shall vote against it
because I am a Republican, and re
gard the proclamation as destructive to
the party and subversive of the Con
stitution and liberties of the people.— \
The Governor made a mistake. I will
not be compelled, under party lashing, j
to endorse and ratify the error, lly
county has increased its Democratic ■
majority from one hundred in two
years to two thousand. Now, the in-1
crease is caused by just such illegal
and irregular dictations of martial law
ftS we are now considering.”
The amount of public lands which
tho Republican party has given to the ;
various monopolies, rings and jobbors j
already exceeds two thousand millions 1
of acres. Estimating its present value
at one dollar and a quarter an acre, )
the donation amounts to two thousand
five hundred million of dollars, more
than our entire national debt. — lynch- i

The following in regard to their j
members homesteading is tho action .
of the Harmony Primitive Baptist As- j
soeiution at their last annual session :
“That the church investigate each
case nml when it appears that tho ;
member so doing lias done it against i
the will or without the consent of his !
or her creditors, that said member be j
dealt with by the church for a viola
tion of tho law of God in committing
fraud or extortion. And also that
other churches before they withdraw
their fellowship from their sister
churches which hold Homesteaders,
vi.»it them, and labor with them ao
cotdiiig to tho 18th of Matthew, and
investigate the case of the member in j
said chinch, and if it is found that:
Homesteaders are not guilty of baud !
or extortu n, nml have not violated)
the law of God in taking the Home
stead, that they do not withdraw their !
fellowship from them, hut to follow J
after the things that make for peace, ,
whereby one may edify another.
Proclamation l»y the President
Washington, October 12.
Wiikheas, Unlawful combinations
and conspiracies have long existed and
do still exist in the State of South
Carolina, for tho purpose of depriving
certain persons ‘and classes of the poo- \
plo of that State of rights and pnvi
liges, immunities, and protection nam
ed in tho Constitution ot tho United
States, and secured by Act of Con
gress, approved April 20, 1871, entitled
“An Act to enforce the provisions ol
the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of tho United States
and,
Wiiki:i:\s, In certain parts of said
State, to-wit: in tho counties of Spar
tanburg, York, Marion, Chester, Lau

and Chcstei field, such combinations
ami conspiracies do so obstruct and
hinder tiie execution of tho laws of
said State ami of tho United States as
to deprive tho people aforesaid of the
rights and privileges, immunities und
protection aforesaid, and do oppose
and obstruct the laws of tho United
States and their due execution, and
impede and obstruct the due course of
justice under tho same ; and
Whereas, The constituted authorities
of said State are unable to protect tho
people aforesaid iu such rights within
said counties; and
W 1 ideas, The combinations and
conspiracies aforesaid, within the coun
ties uforesaid, organized and armed,
and so numerous and powerful us to
he able to defy the constituted author
ities of said State, and by reason of tho
said causes, the conviction of such of
fenders and tho preservation of the
public peace and safety have become
nnpracticables iu said counties ; now,
therefore,
I, Ulysses S. Grant, President of tho
United States of America, do hereby
command all persons composing the
unlawful combinations and conspira
cies aforesaid to disperse and to retire
peaceably to their homes within five
days of date hereof, and to deliver ei
ther to llit* Marshal of the United
States for the I listrict of South'Uaroli

for which the combinations und con

Times Violent.
Affairs do not iriovo with the equa
nim:ty they used to maintain “when
you and 1 wero boys together.” Tho
burning, drowning, storming, flood
ing, stealing, raining, fighting, swin
dling, drinking, earthquaking, volca
noiug, tidal waving, swearing, freez
ing, and murdering, are all more vio
lent aud cruel than they used to bo.—
When wo were hoys, a ease of murder
would set our grandmothers to rub
bing their spectacles and rearing and
sighing Ity the hour together. If a
child was burnt in a house, or a fam
ily drowned in a freshet, or a stage
upset down an embankment, it was
iood for melancholy talk for a fort
night. But look at things now ! The
Tiilecbai'ii has had little other busi
ness for the past ten years than to tell
of nwful violence by flood and field.—
Its record is a long catalogue of death
and dostiuction by tho wholesale. Du
ring this decade wo have had violent
and bloody deaths by tho million —of
whole regions laid waste by fire and
sword—great cities given to tho flames
—w hole countries devastated.
But this, you will say, was tho fate
|of war. The operations of nature,
however, seem to have sympathised
| with tho violence of men. What
I frightful earthquakes—wlnit iuriuus
storms and tempests —what desolating
Hoods have swept over the earth ft fre*
quedey and destructiveness unparal
leled iu previous history. The news
! paper scarcely escapes a day, without
| some fierce aud gloomy record of this
j sos* in some quarter of the globe.—
| And without reprehensible human
| agency what storms of fire and de
struction have been sweeping the great
j West for the past fortnight!
The telegrams of to-day report these
I fires growing worse, and say that 1,-
200 victims have perished iu the
\ flames. Then in the far East, terrible
floods and storms are reported on the
| China coast, overflowing 10,000 squure
miles of the country’. These are the
1 days of wrath aud violence. The fury )
of man began the work and now it |
: seems to be carried on by tho angry
forces of nature. We plead for a lit- {
| tie more gentleness all round. Ten |
years of Radicalism pervading the j
whole political, social and natural
world ought to be enough. Let us
have peace. —Telegraph Messenger.
The Saturday Review, in speaking
of costumes at church, says that “dress
ever was and will ever be, as webs
spread in thejvay of woman’s right
eousness ; no doubt Eve frilled her
apron of fig-leaves before ehe had
worn it a day.”

A “Lost River.”
A leading article in a Into number
of the St. Paul Press gave tho follow
ing mournful account of the condition
ot things at tho “head of navigation
“The Mississippi has almost dried
up. The majestic river whoso mag
! nificent volume two thousand rml63
froni its outlet, has been the theme of
: the tourist’s adjuration ; so broad and
deep that it seemed somo grand estu
ary of the sea on which the navies of
the world might ride ; has shrunk to
a mere ridiculous creek, and its thin
and attenuated current crawls lazily,
as if it wero ashamed of its shrunk
i shanks, among low, red, bare subma
rine ridges and beaches of sand that
have never seen the sun before, so far
as human knowledge goes, since God
separated the waters from the dry
! land. The water has never been so
! low within the memory of the oldest
inhabitant. Herds of cattle bask in
I the sunshine of the dry bed of tho
; groat river ten or fifteen feet under the
level of tho waters, where a few months
| ago great fleets of steamboats rode at
i will. Boys with their trowsers rolled
up to their knees, sound with their
feet tho grand mysterious depths which
have engulfed so many wayward boys
and hapless men, whom accidents or
rashness lias entangled in the strong,
swift undertow.”
Whereupon the Duluth Minnesotian
observes : “In the meantime, we notice
that boats continue to arrive at Still
! water ; showing that tho other head of
navigation is still alive, and going
ahead.”
State Action.— The Governors of
Michigan, Missouri and New Jersv
have issued proclamations appealing
to the citizens of their States to assist
Chicago, and the Governor of Illinois
has convened the Legislature of that
State to take proper action in reference
to the great calamity. —Louisville Com

The Insurance Companies lose $35,-
000,000 by the Chicago fire. Some
have failed—the reported number is
