THE ESCURIAL.
The Most Celebrated Palace OF Spain
Destroyed by Fire.

From the Courier-JOurnaLl
Our dispatches this morning contain
the intelligence that the Spanish palace
Escurial, situated on the southeast slope
Of the Sierra Guadarama and about
twenty-five miles from Madrid, has been
destroyed by lightning. This was the
most celebrated palace in Spain. In its
mausoleum slept the long line Of Span
ish Kings from Charles V down. Here
were the treasured ashes of Princes; here
were collected works of art, the relics of
the saints, twenty thousand rare vol
umes of Spanish literatures, and four
thousand rare manuscripts written in
the Greek, the Hebrew, and Arabic
languages. All have now rushed
skyward in flame and smoke. The pal
ace was built during the seventeenth
century by Philip 1, in the fulfillment of
vow that he would build the most
magnificent monastery in the world if
st. Lawrence would give him victory
over the French in the battle of St.
Quentin. Twenty-one years labor and
sum equal to fifteen million dollars
were expended in completing the works
The church under which the mausoleum
was constructed by Philip " was q
triumph Of architectural skill. Porphyry
and marble Of the richest description
encrusted the walls, and on either
side were placed fine statue portraits
of kings and queens. BenvenutO
Cellinis's marble "Christ," presented to
Thilip by the Duke of Tuscany, and
which is said to have been brought from
Barcelona on mems shoulders, was there
and must have been mutilated by the
confagration. The loss of so many ven
erable relics will be deeply regretted by
the scholar, the artist, the historian and
antiquarian. The destruction of War
wick Castle by the same deveuring ele-
ment occurred but a few months since,
and the present loss of Escurial Castle
will be even more deeply regretted, be-
cause it contained richer collection Of
valuable relics.

/ From an Occasional CoTresrondent-l
/ HERNANDO, October 4.-The mass
meeting and barbecue here yesterday
was q splendid success. The vast audi
enee was addressed in a most eloquent
and able manner by Hon. Robertson
Topp, Of Memphis, Judge Jefiards, Lib
1 eral and Democratic Elector for the
| State at Large, Colonel Clifton, Mayor
Of Jackson, Judge Alcorn ia kinsman
I OF the GovernOT), and Major Ham
| Chalmers.
Your readers can form some idea of
the numbers present by the simple
statement that the tables measured over
a quarter of a mile in length, and were
crowded two deep at least, from one
end 10 the other. The dinner was boun-
teous, and NEST splendidly cooked and
served under the efficient and
able superintendent Of your former
tOwnsman, Captain Tom Cox. Not the
slightest difficulty or disturbance
throughout the entire day occurred to
mar the harmony Of the occasion. The
colOred people-numbering about one
thousand-had a table to themselves,
and were very quiet, attentive and or
derly.
Several ladies graced the occasion with
their presence, and contributed much TO
the enjoyment of the day. You can
now safely put old DeSOto down for a
handsome majority for Greeley and
Brown. Thewhole people are thoroughly
aroused 10 the momentous results of the
election, and you may rest assured that
the white people are nearly a unit FORBID

Watson's foundry, silk factory, and ma
chine shop, in Paterson, New jersey,
and in q few hours the structures were
entirely consumed. The fire made rap
id headway owing to lack Of water in
hydrants. The principal business car
ried on was the building Of iron railroad
bridges. One account places the losse;
at one hundred and fifty thousand dol.
lars; the foundry being rated at one hun
dred and ten thousand dollars, and the
silk mill at forty thousand dollars
Another account gives the losses at fOul
hundred thousand dollars, but it is be-
lieyed that this is an exaggeration. The
losses are about half covered by insur.
