A full httendar.ee is desired. Cl.iTl'olti> Anukksox, Chairman. 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 totros *«<nd '•cities to be eared for. Considerable excitement in the In dian Territrjry in consequence of a •"ITfiWei nunifg the Creeks. A few r.o. » i.-Quld do them more that tho area . . , . ■ - _T«uiuom 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 for them, so begin to collect your dogs. "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 burg Jtejmllicun. 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 rens, Newberry, Fairfield, Lancaster 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 nu, or to any of his deputies or to any military officer of the United States within said counties all arms, ammu nitions, uniforms, disguises and other means and implements used, kept, possessed or controlled by them lor carrying out tho unlawful purposes for which the combinations und con spiracies are organized. [.Signed] U. S. Chant. 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.” CUovgia Hewn The Democratic majority for Mayor I during tho lato election in Savannah | was 1,653. j Tho Savannah City Council gives . one thousand dollars to the Chicago , sufferers. A negro noar Columbus named Dan ; Davis, killed another, George Mahone whil« stealing corn from his field at uight. Tho houso of Mrs. Glovor, a widow lady living about six miles from Dal ton, was burned last Friday night. The Sheriff of Liberty county has slain nine wild cats this season. If | he keeps on he soon will have “whip ! ped his weight in wild cats.” Rev. Mr. Drysdale, of Dalton, re | turning home from Marietta, last Fri | day night, had his arm broken by al- I lowing it to coliido with a lumeer [ train.

It is estimated that tho farmers of ‘ j Bartow county lost over two hundred \ thousand dollars by the failure of tho | wheat crop this year.

Scalded to Death.— Mr. Jamos Longloy, residing near our town, met with a sad bereavement a few days ago. His little child burned to death by the upsetting of a vessel containing boiling water and meal.— Dal. Cit. The State Road Joke.— Tho racy State Rond joke of Foster Blodgett, says the'Constitution, has reached the jolly’ robustious proportions of A. L Harris.

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 mercial.
