The great FIRE which occurred at Saratoga
on Sunday 10th was without doubt the work
of an organized gang Of incendiaries. 1t
broke out about half-psst four in the after
noon in the United States Hotel, in the north
wing, over the office, and in a short time
the flames broke out in another and distant
part of the building. The fire spread with
fearful rapidity, and the hotel was soon de-
suoyed, together with about dozen cottages
adj dining. The flames then communicated
TO Marvin House, which was also consumed,
together with three or four club houses, the
Western Union Telegraph Office, and the Ex-
press office Two men were killed by the
falling ruins, one of whom was Officer Case
of Saratoga.
President johnson is pushing his plan oil
reconstruction along rapidly. All the states
which seeded have been supplied with loyal
Governors except Alabama, South Carolina
and Georgia, and it is expected that these
states will be provided for before the Fourth
Of July, when all the states will be back a.
gain in the Union. Seven of the states have
Governors Of their own choice and four have
provisional Governors appointed by the Pres
ident.
The Richmond Republic says sales Of pro-
perty on Main street have been made within
few days at low and reasonable rates. A
decided improvement 10 the feeling on the
subject of prices has been manifested, and il
men from the north desire to make invest.
ments on advantageous terms abundant OPP
portunities may now be found for doing SO
In Richmord.

soUrH CAROLINA DEsoLArE.-Henry

South CAROLINA Discriminatory
Ward Beecher, in description of his visit to
Charleston, says South Carolina swings on
the web of the Union as on the spiders web
swings the body of a fly, a she'll" It's des-
olation and punishment are beyond concep-
ton. Every invested dollar, almost, all the
orphans funds, all the widows funds even,
were exchanged for Confederate bonds and
these bonds are not worth the paper they are
printed on. Gov. Aiken told him, that in
many places in the State there is not young
man left between the ages Of twenty and fifty.
A generation has been cut off. Charleston
is utterly bankrupt--its old rich families
wiped out and gone-snd the city can never
recover its standing, except by the ingress Of
other populations. As South Carolina was
the greatest sinner, so has she been most Sc
verely punished in this respect. Other States
and cities at the South may soon recover
their former prosperity and standing, but it
must be long time before she can again take
her place in the Union. When she does a
new class of people must own her soil, con-
duct her business, and control her destiny
The " chivalry " are no more.

The following extract from the ersburg
ext press affords significant illustration Of the
opinions of the Virginia white men upon the
question Of permitting black men to vote
" Although rendered as an advertisement,
we have deemed it best for II parties to de-
cline publication Of the proceedings Of the
mass meeting Of colored men held at the Gill
field Church on Tuesday afternoon last. The
chief object of the meeting was to advocate
the supposed right Of the colored race in Vir-
gina to the right Of suffrage.
Such a movement in this State now cannot
possibly be productive of good. InNewYotk,
where emancipation has prevailed Tor a half
century they are denied the elective franchise.
In fact, we cannot recall any State in the I'm
ion where they are permitted TO exercise it.
Some of the leading Northern journals oppose
it violently. Here in Peter, burg to agttate
the question at present, we feel assured, can
not possibly be productive Of good. On the
contrary, we apprehend it may produce evil,
and would advise those engaged in it to let it
rest"
The people Of Savannah, it appears. are not
yet reconcied to the new order Of things, by
any means. The Republican OF that city re-
marks:
The majority of Savannahans, the former
large Shareholders in particular, refuse To be
comforted or consoled with the new order OF
things. A few rational men are reconciled
to the wonderful changes wrought in the
South by the treason of Fire Eaters, and very
sensibly seek to conform to the wishes OF
government. We regret to see so many
kicking in the traces at this late day, for
ample time has elapsed to convince all Of the
determination of government to revoke no
orders which have been issued concerning the
Freedom Of the Southern slaves"

No. IV.-PRovERBs OF THE People
"Life is half spent before zoe know what ii u.s."
How true is this maxim and yet the million
do not know it. We form vicious habits be-
cause at the moment they give pleasure, not
anticipating that eventually they will " bite
like the serpent and sting like the adder"
Be wise in time. But if you embibed too
much to the cup Of pleasure, and qualification
of vicious indulgences, and the essential or
gans have become weakened, try RoMAINE's
CRIMEAN BITTERs, the only compound which
has met with the approval of the U. S. Army
Surgeons, and Physicians who have become
acquainted with their merits--very pleasant
to the taste. See advertisement. Sold by
Druggists and Family Grocers.

tematically arranged and carefully preserved.
A man in Springfield decapitsted turtle
and left the head in the yard. Hearing a
lively squealing shortly after, he investigated
and found that a rat which essayed to graft
fly its taste for turtle had been seized by the
head it sought to devour and actually killed.

JOHN E. ECxkfPPS, ESQ.


On Thursday, the 18th inst, Mr.. JouN L.
Scn1rrs, who has b:sn identified with the
Chicago TRIBUNE for period OF nearly s=yen-
teen years, disposed Of his entire interest in
the same. In parting from Mr.. scr:pps it fs
proper that We express the regret, which the
radius of the TRIBUNE will hugely share, in
losing the services Of IN accomplished editor
md gentleman, and being deprived Of the
counsel Of q easacious adviser and friend
During tha past four years, as the public are
aware, Mr.. Scripps has held the o:lce and
discharged the duties OF Postmaster of Chi
cago. during which time he has not been edl-
5ofiany connected with the paper. With
IL intermiaston, he has labo-cd in the edi-
to,ial harness III this city sincc the 23d Of
August, 1e4s, at which time he became, with
3{r. John E. Wheeler aud Mr. Thomas 4.
Stewart, ono Of the proprietors Of the TRz-
DUNE. On the 11th of June, 1856, he sold his
interest in the TRIBUNE, aud, in September
Of the same year, In conjunction with Hon.
WILLIAM BRoss, established the DEuocRA1Ic
Press. After O successful career Of sir yesrs
1hc Press was united with the TRIBUNE,
July l, 1858, and Mr.. Seripps was the senior
editor Of ths paper until he accepted the
portion Of Postmaster, March g, 1851.
During ths period Of lis active editorial
life Mr. Scr'pps has labored with an industry
that knew no flaggglnG3, and degree OF ability
which, il measured By the success Of his sew
csal enterprises in the profession Of journal.
Ism, must be admitted to be eminent.
Through his entire connection with the Tai.
DrSE and Dc3ocRAr1c Pass We doubt If he
ever gave just cause Of o:fensc 10 nny meu.
The III banity Of temper, for Which he is dis
1.rsu'shcd in his social intercourse, never for.
fool him in tie editorial chair. Always fr1n
for the right, he never indnlccd in personall-
ties, and never allowed his party ntfiniies to
warp his judgment, or cmoitter Lis pen, in his
deAli"gs with his political advcr.aric..
*tAnd thus he bore, without 1cp.oacn,
The grand old Name OF gentleman
We trust that Mr. scrlpps may nrc long in
the land, and that Chicago may always claiu
lis residence.
