AMERICAN ENERGY. Nothing can more for
chilly illustrate the indomitable energy and in.
exhaustible resources of mind and action in our
countrymen, than is contained in some of the
accounts connected with the late dreadful dis
aster ut San Francisco. Among other sufferers
by the conhagration was matchmaker from
Boston, whose shop was in the centre of the
fire, and who rushed to the rescue of his prop,
erty. He filed his trunk with his goods, and
escaped to the street, where he was cut off by
the flames, abandoned his property through
dire necessity, and was dreadfully burned him
self. He was taken to the hospital, where,
lying on his bed, he dictated letter to his cor
respondent in Boston, ordering goods for his
trade to the amount of Sc, 900, while appliances
were making to draw the fire from his scorched
skin. Bankers in San Francisco lent to him
their credit, and offered to him place of bust
ness; and, if he shall survive, he will be a
living example of the energy and perseverance
of his race.
Another instance was that of q gentleman
who had recently erected and moved into
splendid brick store in different quarter of the
city from his lodgings. When the fire broke
out he was very active in assisting those imme
diately in danger, but after tn flames had
ragged for some time he wen how his
own store was likely to stand The fire was
close upon his premises, and he saw at glance
that they could not be saved. Without stopping
to see his large property consumed, he returned
to his residence, and in q few hours had com
pleted the draft of another and more expensive
edifce, to be erected on the site of the old one
In two days he had men at work clearing away
the rubbish and preparing to put up the new
building with all possible despatch.
