CALIFORNIA _1HTFLLI8EHCE.
THE GREAT SAX FRANCISCO FIRE.
M o received (snvs (lie Raltiniore Sun of the
'20th inst.) last night ov the Philadelphia Hont,
copies of Sail Fratici-eo papers to the 15th u!t.,
from which we extract the following additional
particulars of the destructive conflagration
at San Francisco.
Picture of the Fire.
The editor of the Alt:i California gives tiie
following vivid picture of the conflagration:
Iron and zinc railed up like scorched leaves,
and sent forth their brilliant flames of green,
blue and yellow tints, mingled with and moditying
the great rod tongues of tiro which flashed
upward from a thousand burning houses. The
hill sides were lighted as if the sun were above
the eastern mountains, and tln-I. trees, shrubs,
herbage and houses were as distinguishable in
the bright light as if it were norm. Darkness
hung over largo portion of the shipping,
where the broad and heavy ocean of smoke
lay down in impenetrable gloom over the bay. 1
People became paralysed. Many removed j
their stocks of goods, or portions of them,
four or five times, and had them overtaken and
destroyed hv the flames at last. The streets
were crammed with masses of human beings
and rushing teams, only giving way before tin* i
advance of the elements, as the smoke and
heat and crashin? walls unshed them back. J
Men became mad; some rushed headlong in- ]
to the flames. Weeping women and prattling ,
infancy were wandering amid ashes and des- 1
trueUon. Every few moments the earth and
air trembled, as great buildings were torn into j
fragments by explosions of gunpowder, and
the atmosphere was tilled with shattered tim- j
hers, brick and mortar. The multitude hung ,
upon the borders of this "vast sea of flame:"' i
few, comparatively, knew or could know what i
were the dangers and exertions of those who
were within the rang of the stilling smoke and j
scorching flame. In less than nine hours from
the beginning, more than twenty squares exis
ted onlv in the memory and in the assendiug
columns of smoke and flame which covered
the city's site
Bat the saddest sight of all was the destruetion
of brave, but bewildered men, who, finding
TnelKfcbTvcs suddenly surrounded with
tire, rushed, staggered and uncertain, from
flame to flame, in hopeless efforts to escape;
until strangled and scorched they withered
and fell in full view of hundreds, who were
comeplctelv powerless to save them. Others,
after battling inside of what they had considered
fire-proofs- finding their efforts to save the
building v:m, endeavored to escape, but too
late. Tiie doors ami window blinds wore rod >
hot, and could not be opened in some install-1
ces, and their last chance of safety failed them.
We cannot express our sensations of jester- ;
dav, while looking upon the blackened re- i
mains of poor humanity, as they still lay burn- j
ed to coals, amid the fire which filled the celler : i
of a building on .Montgomery street, still be- ! i
yond the reach of all who gazed upon them, j
May we never again see so horrible a specta- j
cle. ' i
Wc were furnished, yesterday with the . i
names of the six noble men who were burned ; i
to death in their endeavors to save the store of j
TnfFe & C'ahill from destruction. Captain
Welsh was recovered from the ruins and buried
yesterday. The others are .Messrs. Edw'd MeCahili,
Leon (Jrccnabaum, Reuben Baker,
Neusbaum, and Rosenthal.

"The actual value of merchandise hurned j
does not in our opinion, exceed 900,000 to '
1,000,000. ;
"It was found that most of the goods horned
were in shops, and occupied much space, as !
tiiev wore generally unpacked. Some large j
stores and three ships were l?urn*? ti, hut we
think the merchandise could he ivjdaced for a
million of dollars. There is an abundance of:
merchandise Jell ami, no actual scarcity ot any- j
thing. There lias been but little business ilone I
since the lire, The amount of merchandise ;
destroyed at Stockton is trilling. It scorns to j
be the general opinion in Wall street that two J
or three millions of dollars will cover the entire I
loss by the San Francisco lire."'

The Confl i^riition ol Stockton.
j to tin the AI in California.}
We have a Journal extra, giving an .account;
of a most destructive fire at Stockton on the 7th
in?t. The following extract gives an idea of the
extent of his sad calamity:
The fire organiated in a new and beautiful
house just opened under the name of the Merrhnnts'
Hotel, formerly kr.on as the Branch and
beyond a doubt was the work of an incendiary.
It is supposed thai some miscreant intended by
this diaboliucal means, to succeed in releasing
the prisoners now confined in the county jail;
but the purpose failed in its accomplishment, as
the wind proved unpropitinus, and turned the
course ol the davastatmg element upon more
precious ami cosily fuel to satisfy its long slumhe
ring rage.
From the Point at which it originated, the fire
swept up Levee .street, prostrating Montgomery's
stately auction establishment, the large and
magnificent El Placer building, the El Dorado,
I Intel de Mexico, Drs. Clements <Sc, Item's drug :
store, Dickinson House and all the buildings on
those two central squares. From them it spread
across to the Central House, and in three quar- j
tors of an hour from the first alarm, our large '
three-story building was enveloped in ilanies.
lJ v the most strenuous exertions, we succeed in j
saving our pre*s and printing materials, though |
in a very damaged condition.
Every mercantile house on levee street, except
six; all on Main street; all on Centre street; all
on El Dorado street, except three; compose the
victims of ti;is incendhu v attempt.
A Model dun. ?Tiiev have some oriirhals '

tlii' following dualling letter was sent by a San 1
Francisco lawyer to a Stockton gentleman, '
and tlic editor recommends it as a model in its
way. It is certainly ricli:

As Sons of Temperance and Members of t0 ^

If wc undertake to look into, and account
for the way of the Sujjreme Ruler of tiie Universe,
we are at once lost in wonder and astonishment?and
compelled to lay our hands
upon our mouths and be still.
In the death of the Rev. Elias L. Eraser, the
State has lost a sound, true, and patriotic
Southerner?at a time too, when from all liuman
appearances, such coulJ be the least ^
spared. The Church?one who, especially
in the Pulpit, was capable of combatting
successfully?(with the assistance of Divine
grace) against sin and wickedness, in all its
varied forms?Temperance, a warm-hearted
thorough-going, and never-tiring advocate of
the principles of entire abstinence from all
that would intoxicate?This Division, a
much loved and worthy Brother, being the hrst sa;
\V. 1\ of this Division, who presided over it in t0
its infancy, with that degree of parental influence,
and urbanity of manner, which characterizes
the scholar, the gentleman, and the christian.
While his health would permit, and even
after he was unable to meet the Division on
account of his afflictions?so groat was his
love to the Order, that he would request the gri
Division to meet him at his own house, where l|l<
on the bed of affliction, he won Id cheerfully
loin his Brothers of the Order, in advising and ,
planning out the most suitable ways to promote sln
;he cause of Temperance. fro
