IT is now certain that Speaker Gibson
is not the Gibson who died over in old
Virginia the other day. he still lives to
advocate the calling OF an extra session
Of the legislature, and thus to prevent a
sense Of utter loneliness pettliug down
like pail over his yoke-iellow, the Hon.
wm. E. Arnold, of Lewis county. These
two are the "par mobile fratrumn" who
seek to make OF no avail the provision
Of our constitution limiting sessions
Of the legislature to one 10 two
years. They give as an excuse for
thus setting at nsught the Constitution
the plea that the times demand an extra
session. There is nothing new about
their idea. On the plea Of necessity the
biennial provision Of the Constitutional
amendment has been constantly diSre-
garded ever since it was enacted, and
these two statesmen are simply following
in the line Of precedent in agitating for
an extra session this winter. However,
We rejoice to believe that the plea of ne.
cessity has made no impression on the
people, and that We are to have rest in
the matter Of legislation until January,
1879.

ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORT.
10 THE DAILY LNTELLIGRNoER
FIRE IN CHICAGO.
Field & Letters Great Dry Goods
Establishment Burned.
One Fireman Killed and Four
Others Fatally Injured.

CHICAGO, November 14.-At 8 o'clock
this evening an alarm Of FIRE Was sounded
from the corner Of State and Washington
streets, ere having been discovered in
Field & Letters retail establishment. By
= fatal mistake nobody was At the box
when the fremen arrived, and they were
mi'directed to another building, and had
almost concluded that false alarm had
been sounded when the flames were seen
bursting from the upper story Of Field &
Letters large store. By this error fully
10 minutes were consumed, and the FIRE
had gained much hsadway before the first
stream Of water was thrown on it.
The origin Of the Ere is now in
doubt some saying that it began in
the pressing store, and some that 1t was
frst found in the loft alone. It quickly
communicated by means Of an open ele-
yator hGtchway with the lower floors, and
at 10 o'clock almost the entire stock OF
dry goods was completely destroyed by
FIRE or by water. The building seems to be
completely gutted, except on the second
and lower aoOrs, which remain less in.
jured than the others.
An accident happened to the firemen
by which one was killed outright, and
four otbers were taken from the ruins so
badly Ihurt that they will probably die.
No list OF insurance can be given tonight.
The loss will be estimated and sent as
soon as possible.
The building may be considered very
nearly a total loss. The stock is va.
riOusly estimated at from three.quartsrs
Of a million to one million and hall.
Mr.. Field estimates it at about 81 900, 900
on the stock. The manager Of the retail
department says there was a retail stock
OF $4,000 and from $4,000 to $4,000
OF wholesale stock stored in the base.
ment. The insurance on the building is
not known, but It is stated to be over
100000, and is placed by New York
agency. The stock is believed to be in
sured for at least two.thirds Of It's value.
The accidents were numerous and scarce.

resulted largely from the falling Of the

What Might Have Happened.

It will always remain CURIOUS spec.
ulation as to what might hSve happened
had the Confederates followed up their
Srat success at Gettysburg, a. the time
they drove the Union troop, through the
town and up to the Cemetery hill that
oysrlooks the town. It has often been
said, and on the authority of those who
ought to know, that the true policy Of
the, Conisderstes was to have followed up
that success without delay, and that not
doing 30 was as fatal mistake as Han.
nibaps neglect to march on Rome imme.
diately after the battle Of Cannae. This
is the impression that we have always
entertained, and so far as We have OBJ.
served it is very general impression.
New interest in ths battle Of Gettys-
burg has been created by the recent arti.
Gle Of General Longstreet. He discusses
in 4 most interesting manner the error
committed in attacking the Union troops
after they had been largely reinforced
and strongly fortified on Cemetery Hill
and on the prominent points adjoining
that commanding position. he lays the
whole blame on Lee, and in SO doing be
is sustained by Lees own admissions.
Longstteet advised against the attack.

council Of Confederate Generals, before
the march into Peunsylvania, that
the strategy should be offensive,
