Judge Eurlti \VR8 a proud man, and aii ambitious man, but with| out i but energy of character, per i rut > iihiicc, una lniiominuble will which me necessary to crown am bit ion with succor's. Iti faet, ho was loo conscientious, too modest,and too proi.d for ordinary success jn life, lie dcapi cd ilio unscrtipu1 us, and had a contempt for ig n in- co which he could uut conI ceal, and did not wUli to conceal. N<? man ever Incd who liad less i>l the tricks and arte of the demagogue about him. lie courted no l>?t|iula: iiy, and was too sincero ami proud to do so. His talents, learning, probity, and sincerity ol diameter, gave biin all the popu larity be ever possessed. .The wise and viituous required nothing more, the base and vulgar had to seek their idol iu some less deserving favorite. Tluit lie was not suited for political life, he well knew. In the first place, ho was not calculated to win the popularity o! the masses, and he was too honest and sincere to struggle with the art arid ciiuning of |M)liricians. Iifceyv'W. 1 owever, ho would have and he said that asein'n. ?!/? ? crress, of the United States was tho height of his ambition. The human heart must have Bonicth'ng to love?wife, chill, horse, dog, honor or riches. Jnage . Earlc had neither wite nor child to share his affections, and the love of tnonoy seemed to occupy their place. This love of money is a strange passion in tli# human heart, and cannot ho accounted fur on any philosophical principles.? Men who have no children, and no very great love h?r any one in particular, will often toil and strive through life to accumulate wealth. Tii03' do very often den}* them selves nil tlio pleasures and coinforts of living, to make inone}* and hoard it up. Why they will do this, when there is no one to whom they care to leave their rich es is very strange attd unaccountable. They know the}' cannot take their wealth with them to another world, and thoy know, too, that no one is left behind for whom they have the slightest aflcction, 01 for whom they would put themscl es to the slightest i neon veil ior.co to serve whilst living. It seems that it is an nlwolute pleasure to accumulate riches without any reference to the use or benefit they may be to themselves or any one else. That a man should love to make money t - gratify his own wants or the wants of his family, is most na turn! and laudable. That he should Io?c the possession of wculth for tlte purposo of making a display of i\ is ca-dly understood. That he should dcsiie to make money fur the purpose of doing good with it, assisting the poor and needy, and improving his country, is noble and worthy all praise lint ' that any sensible mail should love to make money to hide and con I ceal from the world, and live in poverty and want whiUl doings*, 1 without any purpose of using that money for himself or others, is [ what (the human mind is hardly . able to comprehend. 1 I.. tl.o 1.0 lor i.Qi-f of liia lifo Judge Eurlu was attacked with * paralysis, and threatened with a renewal of the st oke. I knew ' that he had long desire 1 to make o the tour of Europe, and I urged him to rcelgn his seat on the bench, * and take a trip across the Atlurn tic, which might possibly restore ?. his health, lie replied that he could hot afford the expense ol such a trip. I said to hitn verj 7~ lifa u 0f more - importance to you than youi u..M, ev1 knew that he had the oon m , trol of unlimited meant. Hut In * declined to make the trip on tha ? ground solelr. and afierwaid* fel ?g dead on the floor of the Mansioi J Houso, in Green villo. He had i "a largo fortune, but left no will which showed that tbere was n so one, in particular, for wliooi b a* cared to uare hia fortune. Id tbo character of Judge Earh n- there was another woaknesa mor r inexcusable than his lore of moi .. y ey, and far more injurious to In t health and happiness. lie was, r i? I linre already aaid, a man of hig [j character, pur? and conscientiou in the discharge of every duty t '? his fellow-men. He wns a |>rou m man, an accomplished gcntlemni exceedingly handaomo persor 0 with, talents and acquirement a which would have adorneJ an station, lie was ambitious, an< 1 as sensitive as a woman to h's hor or and reputation. And vbt will all those high and noble qualitic of hesd, heart and uer6on, lie conh ' not restrain himself, in the nse o spiritous liquors, from gross expos ure. lie was not like soino men whom I have seen, and who Mr Pstigrew said had their gauge and who could drink a great deal and keep up. The Jud.e was not an habitual drinker, but when he did drink he exercised no prudence or cour-ealincnt. It seemed he was too honest to conceal his faults and foihles, Governor Wilson once preferred charges against I'un to tlin T " 1 ~v?.niiiiurv, lur nirempcrai'.cc, in order to gratify 1. its revenge for a supposed insult in court. I was at that timo a member of tlio House of Representatives, and, with the assistance of Major Henry, of Spartanburg, had the chargo laid on the table. I went immediately t > the Court of Appeals, to inform Judge Earle of the result. I found him anxiously pacing the portico, and after telling the fate of the charges against him, I cautioned liitn as to the future in very strong terms. I said to him that it was a scandal to see a gentleman of his character and position, go into a grogshop or bur-room and call for u drink. His friends would always be glad to join him in a social glass at their houses, and when at homo he could drink as he pleased. 1 knew that at his own house lie 1.ever indulged to excess, lie promised most solemn ly tlmt lie would do so. But like "" sueh promise*, tliey were soon 1 wns 111 Luiuuiu.... Court of Appeals when Judge Earle died. Judges Uichardton and Butler enme to my room mmcaiuio!}* after hearing the dad intelligence, nud -requested me to draft suitable resolutions for tho adoption of the bar, and have them presented to the court the next morning. Col. William C. Preston presided at our bur meeting, and on presenting the resolutions to the court, they were ordered to be copied on their minutes. Judge Earle was greatly esteemed by his brethren of the bench and the bar of South Carolina, as well as ull who knew him. In p-ditics, Judge Earle was a States rights man of the Crawford and Smith school, and was opposed to Mr. Calhoun and his National doctrines whilst Secretary of War. The Judge after wands became a Nullitier. and idoutiticd with that party. We differed widely in our |M?litical creeds in 1832, and this difference was painful to 1110. It did not, however, interfere with our social relations, lie was iny friend and advisor in a difficulty growing out of politics, nud stood by mo in one of a more serious character which also originated in politics. Judge Earle, as I have said, was never married. lie lived and died an old bachelor. This lie deeply regretted to ine in tho latter pat tot his life. 1 told him it was not too late then to retrieve the great error of his l!fe. But he 6aid it was. He could not then expect to live to senilis children brought up and educated. Moro over, ho had doubts all his life whuthor lie was suited to a married lite, llo was afraid he might re pent marry inir. Some one. it it caid, asked Socrates whether it was better to marry or live single i i lie old philosopher replied, " dt which you will, and you will re pent of it." Judge Em-la verified the truth of Socrates* remark In living single. Had lie married he might not have repented.? Sotne remain single in conrequenc of early disappointment*, but tliii was not the case with Judge Earle I feel assured ho i ever addressee i a lady in his life, and there wot few wno could have refused him Xoontinukd wkkk.] j.

In driving a London nnde I ground tunnel, we are told that * one part ot the line the cnttinj were made through a maw skulls and bones six feet in tl ground. In another plaoe, a fo ' gotten secret passage, twenty fo ? wide, was discovered, supposed i date from the 14th century. - - ? * is I Incidents of the Chicago Fire. 19 j A gentleman jnat arrived frm h ( Chicago lias furnished us with 18 report of many interesting ep ? sodes and incidents which cum d under his own observation durin '? the progress of Iho great conflu ? gration. 8?ioo of them have a 9 ready been narrated by our spcci y at correspondents; but a grea d many are entirely new.

One of tin 1 first places to which he rcpairet I was the Shermnn House, In whicl * he had friends, lie found it 01 * hia arrival still untouched, but tin * guests were passing out in all di * lections. ' Among other incidents he wit 1 ncssed is one not the least strung* of the ninny which have been told A guest of the house, on hia waj from the West, had with him his invalid wile and children. In tin hurry of the moment they were overlooked, and ns the fire wne i rApidly encroaching oti the building, )to became frantic in his efforts to save his f:?'nily. The convevanccs nrouiui u\c hotel were all engaged, but by paying li.o enormous sum of $1,000, be manned to 6ccurc an express wagon and thus e8ca)>cd. On Wabiibh avenue the owner of one of i s marble houses had his carriage and c lor cd coachman drawn up at his door, preparatory to couvoying his family to a place of refuge. Three ruffing on the lookout for plundcr approached the carriage, and, jumping on to the seats, threw a sack over the head and shoulders of -the coachman and I.?..i~.I i.:? ?- ? ......ivvi 111111 iu mo ground.

They ave burned our city, und it is use'esa for us to attempt to escape, for they will burn us up, too P All sorts uf stories were in cirlatum as to the orgin of the fire. Almost every one ho met had n theory of his own, and no two nc counts tallied. On lower Clark street, just be low the Crurt House, were some rows of splendid business houses. The upper portions were fitted up in furnished rooms, and, sad to say, wero lot to the less disreputn ble portion of the domi mode. Doing steeped in the heavy slumber ot vice the flic had reach ed the lower part ot the building before tliey were apprised of their awful danger. When thoy were or roused troth their lethargy their ter ror was fearful. Appearing at the upper windows of the burning | blocks, they found their commitni cation almost cut off, and tlieii creams wcro terrific. Tlio stair * cases wcro still partly standing ' and after great difficulty the giil were reicued from their perilou } position. One young girl, an Itnli , an, attracted the atiuuiion of al ' by her picturesque beauty, whicl r was heightened by the tragic si ' nation in which she was placed.Her hair, wildly flowing, rcache c almost to her leof, while the foi * eign expression of her feature and the tragic pose of herattitud ruado her look like a traged ? queen. 8ho was a striking illui '* nation of the line, m B??uty niKlurn*!, tdi?rie<! lli? moat. y Poor nnfortnnate!

No Immediately before this ac >r* dent ocourrod a fearful soono wi et to be witncased at the corner to Sherman street, about half block west of La Sa!lo, near t Michigan ?Oil thorn Railroad n depot. The afreet (which was a a small one) was entirely occnpiod i by hngnoia, conspicious among c which was tho corner one, run by g a courtezan well known in Chica r go as ono ol the worst characters |. that evor disgraced a city. Her i name was Nellie Grant, otherwise ,t known as M Tipperary Nell," as i that historic county haJ the honor f oh giving her birth. As usual the y inmates on that fatal Sunday night e were in a beastly state ot intoxi I cation. The flro crept uppn thorn i unperceived, and had it not been i for a busly driver, the bully of a Nelly, the inmates would have ! been burned in their beds. As it j was the bouse bad eantrlit n?. ^v.v. V 1 . any of tliem got out, and the' i 6creamg, cui6es and lamentations1 . of the iinfortuiiato were terrible to licnr. 44 iNelly " herself was in- j i sensible from the effects of her po- ' > tntiuns, and her lover had to carry j i her out?r.o easy job, tor she was i not by any means what you would call a 44 light weight." lie suececdud however, in enrrj-ing her to n place of safety, and the remainder of the wretches were re9 ' cued without harm.

Bravo men wero endeavoring to r-lmrkv (tittt'neait ivnmnn w-iili nn appearance of lightheadedness | which was far from real. Individ* 11 al instances of gallantry on the part of women were not wanting, and our informant is in ra|>ture with the coolness displayed by a widow, whose bravery extorted the adipiratioti of all who beheld her. She hud to cheer the spiiits of s o in e half dozen drooping maidens and guide them to a place of safety, which she did with perfect success. She was none of your " fair, tat and forty ones," but instead a young and pretty woman, and from all we can learn she will not long live in widowed bh-ssedness, if any of her uumer utis admirers of the trying Monday can traco her. The meet ridiculous scenes over mingled with the most terrible ones, and the spectacle of the /r . .? I ? J inccis iline were uemg earrieu away were in many instances extremely amusing. A la<ly who kept a hoarding li aise on Adams street struggled hard to get her stores out ut the risk of her life, and frantically ; ahused her lodgers for defacing the walls of her house in carrying out th??r trunks. The flames were only half a block awaj' at 5 the time, and before she had ceos? cd scolding her house had fallen " in, nearly burying her in the 1 ruins, lint some of tiro most sel * fish spirit was displayed. Next, ' door neighbors in many instauco6 A- refused each other the slightest us8 instance, and much valuable property was thus lost that would otherwise have been saved. On the 1 other hand, many whoso homes escaped the conflagration acted I w?:l? a largo-hearted generosity, _ and freely shared theii homes with all the sufferers they could accomo * date. This spirit was particularly ltifinneaicu i?y mu?v ?iu?c iuom? y hail been greatest, and too much 1 praise cannot be bestowed on c >n duct so noble. Tbc sights to be witnessed on Tuesday were of the d meat heart-rendering description, v but as our correspondents have alio ready narrated the most of the in 7- cidents seen by our informant we ?* ncjod not recapitulate them. One ks ot them is, nowevei, new. A ,r- mother who had lost her onh a child was wandering franti >e cally among tho ruins in search ? in her darling, and when she coult of discovor no traces o( it lier roasoi fled and she became a ravin) ci. maniac. On Tueadav night tin is gentleman left the city tor Nev 0f York, and he presenMtti graphi A picture of the exoitcmont and sua Ue; j enw all along the line of (he rail YULUMti AVIIIm"NO. 2C, | roach. The train on leaving the' depot was densely crowded, the aibles of the cars woro filled with Itassengers, so that the wheel* pounde 1 with the weight and two powerful engines were scarce eufftcient to carry the convoy along.? When it had got about three' tftfKjsfrom the city a cry aroso in tho cars tltft tho South side was on fire, and a rush was made for the windows, from which a lurid glare could be perceived in the heavens over tho lower part of Cottage Grove avenue. It was only mo~ mentary, however, and was doubt-* less ouo of the buildings which were fired by the incendiaries. When the train had reached Toledo, which it did early on Wednesday morning, a dense crowd ot people were gathered at the depot, wnitixr* ^ ?v* uiu news irom the* burned city, and every consideration was shown for the fugitives. At Cleveland there was a repetition of the samo scene, and at the smaller stations the interest wns unabated. Buffalo was reached about nine o'clock Wednesday night, and hero the excitement culminated. Numbers of the prominent merchants were working as hard as they could loading provision cars, and each and all seemed to be au/imated with but one spirit. Ctowds tr?ro waiting for the arrival of tho relief train, which was momentarily expected, and in cagor lookout was kept in tho iirection from which it would some. Iu a short time its lights were to be discerned ; soon it cniue nearer, and, ainid tho cheers if the assembled thousands, steamid into the depot. The division inperiutendent of the Erie ran to lie locomotive, and, shaking tlte> inginecr by the hand, said, " Jim, rou have done well."

" Tlic pluckiest thing we lmvo heard of in connection with tho contlagration is connected with the persistent issue of the Chicago Evening Post. That journal, liko the others, and even more completely than the others, lost everything? building, presses, type, paper, materia!, and even the books. Two of tho Post coinpositore, driven to the West district by the fire, found a little job oifice, about Monday noon, open and completely deserted, the occupants having rushed to the tiro then raging and seething like a hell across the city. One instantlv wrote out an account of tho fire, as far as it had progressed and tho other put it in typo, and they clapped above it the old familiar words, 41 The Evening Poi t,,v made it up in a page about 6ix by eight inches and exultantly printed it.
