Martial Law. WASHINGTON, October 17.-A proclama tion, after many whereases, suspends the writ of babeas corpus in Spartanbnrg, York, Marion, Chester, Laurens, New berry, Fairfield, Lancaster and Chester field counties of South Carolina. The sus] euston extends to arrests by the Uni ted States Marshal, his deputies, or any . :'irarv officer of the United States, or soldier or citizen acting under order ot s u:l Marshal, deputy >-r said military officer, within said counties, charged with any violation ot' the Ku Klux act of Con gress during the continuance of said re bellion, j Rebellion is described in the whereases.] . - - THE GREAT "CHICAGO FIRE. ? JLxeiliiuj Scenes and Incidents. When the- fire was raging in the lumber yard of .Sherill's & Son some six or eight men were surrounded by fire and could not get out. They were in imminent dan ger of being suffocated or burned, and, as a last resort they tumbled one of the bla . zing stacks of lumber into the river, and maila a sort of 'raft upon which they pad dled their way in salety to the opposite bank. Deadly diseases call for 3harp remedies. It was a"singular sigh't to see tue fr. en ' be - longing to thc coal yards hauling heavy trucks lind wagons and precipitating them into the river. This was the only method to be adopted to save them under the cir cumstances. About fifteen trucks and twenty-five wagons were in this manner . thrown into the river. ?n Chicago avenue a father rushed rip stairs to carry three children away, when lie was overtaken by the iiames and per ished with them. The mother was after wards seen on the street,-on-the -north-, west side, a raving maniac. In the same ' neighborhood a family of five persons per ished. The list of such fatalities is very long> and cati only be fully verified after the smoke shall have cleared away. There 'are hnhdveds of families on thai side who saved no clothing, but barely theil- lives. ,<? None but an eyewitness can form an idea of the fury and power of the .fire among the buildings and ware houses on thc south side. The wind blowing a hur ricane at .times,, it seemed ; ait tb.-! work of a moirknl ?or the fire to %ntw-*the U&edh end of the buildings frontina: on Randolph, Lakeland Water streets, and" reappear at the north doors and windows, belching forth m~nerce flames which orton licked the* apposite buildings, and then tie - flame:?, Tssuing forth from the buildings ?n both sides of the street, would unite and present a solid mass of fire completely filling the street from side to side, and shooting up a hundred feet above the house^topi Thus was street after stree: ? filled witVflame. Huge-waH?? would top ple and fall into the sea of lire without an audible sour.';. The roar of the fierce element vas so great that all minorsounds were' swallowed up. Many buildings sit uated along South Water street, buried their icd-hot rear walls in th . water, into which they plunged with a hiss. The heat was so intense at times that the burning"buildingsr.could not be-: ap proached within 150 feet. The fire, after reaching the business part of Randolph and South Water streets, leaped the river to the north side iu an incredible short space . ol' time, and thence among the wooden buildings on that side, reached the lake shore, after reducing block alter block of happy dwellings to ashes. A scene of such utter powerlessness, in the face of an enemy, was-never presented as thal bf this people trying to combat the fire, for the combat was not of long duration. The j-eople bowed, their heads in angpish of spirit, and allowed the fire to have untrammeled sway. Whit* there are many instances of generous devotion on the part of the rich and poor, in divi ding with the destitute, there are painful instances of meanness and selfishness. One person was trying to remove valua blejaapers from an office, and asked two firemen to help him, but they refused un less he paid them fifty dollars. The papers were destroyed. Drivers of express wagons have taken $100 and even SoOO for an hour's use of their vehicles in getting the distressed' people away from danger. Among the sad scenes was the appearance ot-men . and_b',;ys beastly intoxicated around the streets of the north division, where the saloonker-pers' stocks of liquor were turned into the streets. There can hardly be any doubt that many of these wretches |found their death in the flames. One poor man had crowded for refuge into a water main lying in the street, near the waler works, but the fire found him even there and ' robbed bim of life. From all the bridges in the vicinity of the great lire the scene wai one ot' impar- j alleled, terrible beauty. The dense col umn of -moke, driving before? tho south easterly jaie the- millions of burning cin ders, carried by tho force of the wind over a mile from the theatre of conflagration, and the dense, fiery glow of the destroy ing element itself, illuminating the entire city, made up a panorama of grand- but terrible features. Everything was rendered so plain by the gigantic llames that the ropes on the i vessels in the riyerstood out in sironger r-jlivf ila-a they would have done in the'] light of day, while the] gallant firemen drove t!i*ir hors*?, coming from the South Side fire, right over the burning bridge at Adan s street, calling ?forth i-h? adniiration of al] beholders. The nura bf spectators was beyond precedent, ever: alley and lane, as well as the principal streets, the cross yards of vessels and tie roofs of houses were garrisoned with anx ious and excited citizens, watching with interest the progress.of the llames.

This fall they hare exhibited much spirit and en terprise in filling up their different establish ments, and we have ' observed with much pleasure the largo and steady patronage they are receiving from all parts of their own Dis trict. In fact thoir stores are thronged every day, und tho number of ladies driving in from tho country, to ship, rominds one of the good old times before the war. And this is as it should bi?, for at no period in tho history of | Edgefield have her merchants boen worthier or more enterprising men. Their stocks are being rapidly picked over, but we can assure our people that como when they may, now or three months heneo, they will find splendid troods, moderate pri?es, and a cordial recep tion. Nover forget the claims of homo and homo-people ! Shameless Collusion of Radical Officials. Some three weeks ugo, Messrs.

Pope i JCer.-lmw, their counsel, ap peared before Comn.issioner Boozer, at the State House in Colombia, in obedience to the warrant under which they were arrcstod. Goss, with two witnesses, was present. And by thc '?s:ini?nv of th'"S? two witncs.ua-.lUhougb on 'ho si|lo of floss-it appenred that no shadow of conspiracy existed between Messrs.

Arguments were than heard, and in about five minutes the" Defendants were bound over to appoar at the U. Si Court,,be ^ forejudge Bond, in November neat,'?t Co lumbia. The Camden Journal, in calmly detailing this open denial of a fair-showing to two honorable citizens, closes thus : - " Tho conduct nf B'H'zer, tho Commissioner ?ho ia alto Clerk of the Supreme Court, shows *thi?t he isa mero tool in thc hand! of^Vorth in-rton and that class of men, who aro now en deavoring to have Marshal Johnson rcm^iyod and Hug..- substituted.
