The special dispatches printed below bring
the news o? another disaster BO stupendous In
Its proportions and BO tragic in its details as
to canse the heart to sicken and grow faint in
the attempt to form a conception of the ap?
palling calamity. The story, told In a few
words, ls that the heart ot Boston, the second
city In commercial importance of the Western
Hemisphere, bas been blotted out-barned in
a night-destroyed by a conflagration so
fierce and furious that lt bas but one parallel
In the history of the world.
The district ravaged by the Ore was crowded
with long rows of the most costly and substan?
tial business structures In this country, built
almost without exception of solid granite,
rangtog/rom four to eight stories In height,
and La many caaes extending, with basements,
cellars and sub-cellars, to a depth of twenty
Ave feet under ground. This very section was
elaborately Improved about twelve years ago,
Devonshire' and other streets being cut
through from Milk: to Sommer street and built
ap with extensive warehouses, which were
then the admiration ol the country. It com?
prises the whole of the Seventh, and a
part of the Fourth ward, and forn? almost a
square stretching from Washington street
eastward to the harbor, and from Summer
street son tc ward to State. The southern edge
o? this ?latr.ot contained hundreds of residen?
ces, thickly crowded together and sheltering
a dense population. This is the Fort Hill sec?
tion mentioned In the dispatches below, but
the r?sidences were of an Inferior sort, and
will, no doubt, be replaced by far better build?
ings.
The dispatches leave no room to doubt (hat
this calamity waa attended with all the tragic
details and the unnatural crimes that form the
sickening accompaniments of every tale of
disaster. Homeless women, turned to fiends
or idiots by the horrors of that night, rushed
shrieking through the biasing streets as at
Chicago, and whole families strayed shelter?
less in the pitiless night, vainly clotchlng their
household wares and trying to save some
lares and penates from the cruel wreck.
The prlef statement that the prisons over?
ran with thieves tells a whole chapter of
ghoulish crime, and the mind oan ploture the
scene of these prowling demons, seeing In
this terrible calamity only an opportunity for
them to rob their fellow-men, and adding to
the terrors of this conflagration a horrid proof
of the depth ot man's depravity.
The First Outbreak-The Fire Rush?
ing along abe Roofs, oat or the Reach
Of the Engt ne E.
[8FB0IAL TELEGRAM TO THE NAW8.]
BOSTON, Saturday, November 9-9 P. li.
An alarm of Are was sounded at about half*
past seven this ?vening, followed by a second,
third and fourth alarm In rapid succession.
The first engine, however, bad hardly reached
the ground, when the flames burst from tbe
fourth story of a granite building on the cor?
ner of Summer and Kingston streets, occu?
pied as a wholesale dry goods warehouse.
The flames caught In the engine room, rushed
np through the wooden Rhaft of the elevator,
and were first seen Issuing from the top ol the
walis:, Just under the eaves. The buildings In
this vicinity are mostly four story granite stores
with Mansard roofs. The flames soon reached
the lofty Mansard roofs on the opposite side of
Sommer street, Car beyond the reach of the
?nain??, and in less than thirty minutes the
whole City from Summer street to the water's
edge ?the east and north appeared to be at
the mercy of the flames, which leaped from
roof to roof with f ri gb ti ul rapidity. One great
dry goods warehouse after another suc?
cumbed, their granite walls falling across the
narrow streets, and forming Impassable bar?
riers In all directions. The fire is still raging,
and the engines are forced to retreat from
station to station by the Intensity of the heat,
which splits blocks of granite weighing tons,
hurling* the fragments across the streets,
bighting tba Fire with Gunpowder
SCOSMS and Hounds in the Streets-A
Night of Horrors.
BOSTON, Saturday, November 9-12 P. M.
The firemen are now blowing up buildings
on Un dell and Congress streets to check the
opread of the flames toward the northeast.
Beebe's Block, the finest row of business
a true tures in the city, is totally destroyed,
atewarfa splendid restaurant and dining sa?
loons served only to feed the flames a few
minutes. The scenes and sounds in the burn?
ing districts are apalling. The Intensity of the
heat canses a fierce upward current ol air, and
{seams to attract the atmosphere In the vicinity,
which rushes toward the fire with the fury of
? gale. Whole pieces of burning dry goods
start from the bursting walls and are caught
by the gale and sent whistling across the
squares, carrying the fire to other stores on
New Devonshire, Franklin and Federal streeta.
Every building 1B heated to the verge of spon?
taneous combustion, and they catch the
flames like tinder. The tail tenement houses
at the upper end of Federal street, near Milk,
are on fire, and crazed and hall-clad women
rash to and fro, staggering under the weight
of bedding and household furniture, which
they are trying to save. The extensive wool
warehouses on Federal street were crammed
from sub-cellar to garret, and burned like
tinder. The paper warehouses came next,
and tbe Freedmen's National Savings Bank
and the National Bank ol North America went
one hour later.
The loss at this hour (midnight) is estimated
at twenty million dollars. Several insurance
companies must succumb.

BOSTON, Sunday, Nov. 10-9 A. M.
The new granite Postofflce and tbe greater
part of Congress street will go. The fire baa
reached dimensions that simply defy descrip?
tion. The people of Boston find themselves
la danger of their lives, and the loss of houses
and property ls now scarcely thought ot The
people sro retiring before the flames toward
^Tremont and Court streets, where lt ls eup
pc8ed the fire will he unable to extend, bnt
the wind Is blowing a gale, and lc seems to
have no positive direction. It ls probable tbat
Fanenll Hall and Quincy Market will be de?
stroyed. The Western Union telegraph office
was abandoned at half past eight o'clock.

WASHINGTON", Sunday, November 10-1 P. M.
A private dispatch received here says that
the fire bas broken out afresh and crossed
State street, and that the whole olty ls
threatened. ThlB dispatch ls dated Boston,
6.30 P. M.
Secretary Boutwell has received a dispatch
saying that the postofflce and sub-treasury are
burning. The malls are safe, and Faneull
Hall will be used, temporarily, for the post
office.
LATER.-There is no confirmation of the re?
port that the dre bas crossed State street. It

The Fire Fiend Sated-A Terrible Sam
mary or the Destruction-Two Hun? _
drcd Acres of Desolation.
BOSTON, Sunday, November 10-8 P. M.
The conflagration is now stuypd. and the
remaining portion of the city le supposed tobe
safe. The havoc continued for eighteen houre,
destroyed hundreds of the costliest buildings
in the country, and paralyzed the shoe and
leather, wool and dry gooda trades. Not one
wholesale shoe and leather establishment ls
left standing; all the wool houses have shared
the same fate, and the remaining dry goode
and Jobbing houses are few and far between.
It is roughly estimated that over two hundred
acres have been barned, and the losa is vari?
ously stated at from one to three hundred mil?
lion dollars.
The fire waa reported under control and sub?
siding at about 2 P. M. It burst out again at
6 P. M., and for a time seemed to threaten the
destruction of the whole olty. An hour later,
however, lt was again got under control, and
it ls now thought that all danger of further
loss Is past.
The malls were taken this noon from the
postofflce to the customhouse for safety. The
chief engineer of the fire department was
killed while engaged loading a mine.
The Ninth Regiment ol the Massachusetts
National Guard, with detachments from other
militia regiments, are on duty protecting the
millions of dollars' worth of property strewed
over the burst district.
The following are a few of the most Impor?
tant out of the hundreds of business houses
burned:

THE ANDERSON COUNTY FAIR.
Thle fair, which ended on Friday last,
proved completely successful, despite the bad
weather on Wednesday. Fllteen hundred per?

was creditable, the household departments

the cattle and hogs decidedly better than

HOW THE PAPERS TALK.
Comments of tile Press on the llesultof
the Presidential Klectlon.
We make (be following extracts from lead?
ing Journals oa the result of the Presidential
election on the 5th instant :
[Prom thu New York Tribune !
There ls scarcely a parallel to the complete?
ness of the route and the triumph. Demo?
crats hsve vied with Liberal Republicans In
contributing to it, some of them by voting di?
rectly for Grant electors; many more by ne?
glecting to vote at all. For the present the
iliberal movement seems crushed. Let no
man accuse the able and shrewd politicians
who, as the Republican national committee,
directed the canvass for General Grant's re?
election, with rquanderlng the unprecedented
sums raised and disbursed by them in this con?
test-with having played a whole park of ar?
tillery to kill a fly. Toe Liberal movement
waa at one time formidable, and bad a pros?
pect of success. Had not millions been ex?
pended to arrest itu progress lo the State elec?
tions of the last three months, it might even
have awept the country, though all the money
raised in ita behalf would at best have been
pence to balance pounds. But a peril antici?
pated ls often a peril averted. Thousande of
the votera of North Carolina, Vermont and
Maine, were convinced by money that they
might better vote the Administration than the
Liberal ticket, and that, lt theyacould not so
vote, it was their Interest to stay at home on
election day and not vote at ail. Tn ns the
Liberal Republican strength In those States
was nearlv neutralized by Democrats who
"wouldn't eat crow" when they could get five
to twenty dollars each lor not eating it. Tnus
waa secured to the Grant State ticket a small
majority in North Carolina, and nearly the
Republican majorities of 1868 In Vermont and
Kaine; and thus was encouragement given
to the enormous outlay by which Pennsyl?
vania was made to roll up for Hartranft at
least treble ber Republican majority. There
was nothing purchasable In the Keystone
State that was not bought, whether of voters,
electloneerers or inspectors and canvassers;
aod but one party had the wherewithal to
buy. The small yet ample majorities In Ohio
and Nebraska, with the balanced result In In?
diana, assured all who stood aloof watching
the struggle as cool spectators that General
Grant's re-election was highly probable, and
at once a stampede to the winning side began,
which grew day by day more formidable. It
we, who were in the thick ol the tight, could
not see thia, lt was obvious to those who pro?
fited by lt, and their nopes were swlltly swell?
ed Into certainties. Thousands who had been
perspiring with zeal for the Liberal cause
silently drop?ed into the swelling torrent.
The gallant few who stood out might as well
have tried to stem the torrent of Niagara.
[From the New York Times ]
Our readers will share with us In the satis?
faction with which we regard the close of the
Presidential contest. It will now, we hope,
be posslble'to talk about something else be?
sides politics and the "claims" ot candidates.
There are many social questions which urgent?
ly call for attention, and lt ls very desirable
that careful study should be given to the meas?
ures which can alone render the Republican
?>arty worthy of the confidence which the pub?
ic has so long reposed in lt. We do not re?
gard our work aa fl nish ed, although the elec?
tion ls over. We have, as a party, yet to
prove tbat we deserve to retain the controlo!
public affairs, and that can only be done by
unremitting care, by a careful consideration
of the wishes and interests of the people,
and by pursuing a broad and libera! policy,
worthy of the period In which we live and of
the nation. We have not the slightest doubt
that we can get from General Grant one of
the best administrations tbe country has ever
seen. He ls a man of great shrewdness and
sagacity, and it would be Btrange, indeed, if
he were not actuated by a sincere desire to
promote the best Interests of the country, and
thua Incidentally to vindicate his own great
fame. Aa he bas himself told the people, he
will avoid errors such aa a man new to poli?
tics naturally commits, and if any cbaBges are
made lu his cabinet, they will doubtless be In
the direction ot the public wlabes. He ia
entitled now to open and* generous
treatment. Undoubtedly the people will
expect that he shall receive fair play-that
the Schurz and Fenton factions shall
cease to throw hindrances and embarrass?
ments in his path, and that the unsuccessful
war against him ot thia year shall not be
transferred to Congress, to the great Injury of
the people, and the obstruction of all Impor?
tant business. It ls quite posslole that before
a month is over the Tribune and Fenton
convertible terms-will be scheming tor more
"congressional committees of inquiry."' On all
such attempts the public will certainly look
with disfavor. The Greeleyltea have made an
appeal to the nation, have greatly disturbed
the business of the country for many months,
are responsible for much contusion and up?
roar, and now will be expected to allow the
business of the country to go on in peace.
[From the New York World.]
The cause of this 'deplorable discomfiture
Ilea much further back than the nomination of
Mr. Greeley. It was doubtless a mistake, even
under the circumstances which existed last
May and June, to take up Mr. Greeley; but the
real source ot weakness was la the circum?
stances themselves which rendered such a
nomination possible. " The cause of the cause
ls the cause of the thing caused." If the Dem?
ocratic party bad not been reduced to a feel?
ing bordering on despair by previous untow?
ard events, lt would not have tolerated for an
Instant a candidate whose whole past history
represented everything which was hostile to
Democratic Ideas of the philosophy, functions
and limitations of government. The true ex?
planation of this deleat ls not to be found
In the nomination of Mr. Greeley, but In
that previous letting down of party hope
and spirit which reconciled our national
convention to an act of sheer desperation.
Most unfortunately, the explanation ls too
easy. The wings ot the Democratic parly were
clipped by the astounding frauds and corrup-1
lion of the Tammany ring. Had lt not been f
for the shameful exposures which cost ns the
State election last year, we should easily have
succeeded lo this presidential contest. The
Tammany iranda were the source of all our
woes. New York waa the chief citadel of the
Democratic party, and lt la creditable to the
moral sentiment of the country that tho bide-1
ons revelation of last year brought the Demo?
cratic party Into disrepute. Had lt not been
for the weakening, prostrating effect of those
revelations, the Democracy, with all the omens
In Its favor, would have disdained to go out?
side of ils own organization for a candidate.
It ls not Mr. Greeley's nomination at Balti?
more, but the previous demoralization which
rendered such a nomination possible, that has
cost us this election.

Ata meeting of the Irish Volunteers, held on I
Monday evening, November 4th, 1372, the follow-1
lng preamble and resolutions were unanimously
adopted, and ordered to be printed In the dally
papers of Ulla city: .
The survivors of the Irish Volunteers are called I
to mourn their commander. The man who braved
death so often and In so many forms, has fallen
by slow and wast in? disease.
For those who die on the battle field the menu
mental sh art la raised, their sacred dust ia gath- I
ered and enshrined, their memory ls hallowed,
and their names go down to distant posterity in I
a halo of glory ; bnt for the victime of the battle
Held the nation's gratitude u dumb. They can
boast no tumored scars, and the shrunken and
wasted frame, the feeble vole?, and the tottering I
step] may tell nf duty and of suffering, bnt not of
glory won. How many like Captain James M.
Mulvaney have -fielded to the slow approaches of
disease contracted In the faithful dtschargo or
their duty, and have gone to their rest honored I
only by the few who knew themr 1
With the fortitude or a truly brave man and
tue resignation of a Christian he aaw the tide or
lire ebbing slowly away. He knew that hie days
were numbered, and he awaited in patient hope I
the atruke that was to release him from bis sur-1
faring.
The autumn or life had scarcely commenced; I
the fruita of hui early labors, his ability and Ms
merit ripened when be waa called away.
The flower of the Held is robed In beauty, fulfils j
Its appointed task and fades away within a sea
son; but the majestic oak that slowlyrearB Ita
head will be whitened by the snows and swayed
by the storms of many a wi J tor before lt reaches I
Ita true proportions and full development. Very
much sola it with men. Some develop very rapid-1
ly, and are full blown almost before they reach
the years of manhood; others have to conquer I
their progresa arep by step. They lind thslr
pathway beset with difficulties, and only the
possession of some of the noblest qualities I
that adorn human nature will enable them I
Anally to succeed. Captain Mulvaney was one I
of the latter. ' From early youth he had to
rough hew his way through Ure. There waa I
nothing to aid, nothing to encourage him-neither
education nor wealth to amooth hla path; and I
only by hla own industry, hla Integrity and his
merit could he hope to find the green spota In the j
apparent ly unvaried waste berore him.
The irish VoluutcerB need not bs told of his
record aa their commander. His heroic bravery j
In action, the generosity and genial warmth of I
his disposition, and bis kindly regard for the wei"
fare of those under hla command, will be remem
be red long afer all that ls earthly o f him shall have I
monldered away.
The expression of onr regard for him and our
respect for his memory will be a fitting conclusion
to the life or one whose best days were spent with
ns, and whose deeds have added a lustre to the
already historic record of the Irish Volunteers, I
whtoh time cannot impair. Therefore be it
Resolved, That we tender the widow and family
the assurance of our high esteem and respect for
the accessed, and our sympathy with them in
their great loss.
Resolved, That a page in our Minute Book be
inscribed to his memory, and a copy of these rcso- I
lotions be forwarded to the bereaved family.
Extract from the Minutes.

-The Fayetteville (Ark.) News describes a
Blngular phenomenon mat occurred in Madi?
son County, In that State. Some of the citi?
zens were astonished by a noise like the rush
of a cannon ball through the air. Onlooking
up they discovered something that looked like
a solid column of fire passing with tremen?
dous velocity through the air, with a whirring,
hissing Bound, something like that of a shell,
but many fold louder. About a minute or
two after lt passed out of Bight an awiui ex?
plosion was beard that shook the eartb for
miles around, and was heard at a distance of
fifteen miles.
