Kinard, Newberry! . Samuel Drouthitt, Greenville C. H. -Wm. Mooro, Abbeville CH." julius Poppe, Anderson C. H. ?Tbc Great Portland Fire. The despatches from Portland, ' Maine, heretofore published, have j told the story of the calamity which j has overtaken that city. From our Northern files we gather some inte? resting details of the conflagration. The fire originated in a pile of shav? ings into which a boy, celebrating the glorious Fourth, threw a pack of pop crackers : Two hundred acres of territory, compactly built with dwellings and business nouses, have been swept by the tornado of flame, and 10,000 or 12,000 men, women and children were turned into the places which had once been streets. The heaviest loser was Brown, the sugar refiner, Whose loss is estimated at $1,000,000, which includes not only Iiis immense works, but houses in various parts of the city. Fortunately, his fine resi? dence was outside the burnt district. The destruction of the now city hall, the pride of the city and the State, is j generally lamented. It was not be? lieved that this would go, and many articles were taken there for safety, and were, of course, all lost. It caught in the dome, and this falling through, the roof, set tho interior on fire, and 5t was quickly burned to the ground. A few of tue city records were saved t*ud a great many de? stroyed. The building cost original? ly about $400,000, but it cannot now be replaced for twice that sum. Tho Methodist Church, ou Chesnut street, near the city hall, the most valuable in the city, waa saved by tho precau? tionary measures of iron shutters to the windows, which it is said many of the Society opposed when the church was erected. It is worth about $70,000. By the destruction of the Natural History Building, that cor? poration will lose $50,00U, exclusive of the valuable collections which it contained. The Custom House and Post Office, both in the same build ;zg, were badly damaged in tho inte? rior. Of tho eight churches destroy? ed, that of the Roman Catholic Jin maculate Conception Society, on Congress street, together with the parsonage, was the most valuable, and the loss will not fall short of 8100,000. Seven hotels were de? stroyed, including among others the partially finished structure known as the Marble Hotel, owned by the Hon. John M. Wood, once a member of Congress from Maine. The hotels destroyed are the International, Free? man, Commercial, American, Sailors' Home, Kingsbury's and the Marble. Tho two principal ones in tho city, the Preble and the United States, e* _ caped, although the latter was seve? ral times on fire. The banks of the city, seven iu number, were all destroyed. The opening of the vaults shows that the papers and money of tho National Traders' and tho First and Second National Banks escaped unharmed. ! The City Gas Works wero destroy? ed, so that the city now is in dark? ness when night comes down upon the wide-spread desolation. Tho , burning of nearly all tho supply ^^ggtorea renders it impossible also to ^^Bbtain lamps and oil to supply tho place of the gas. A letter from Portland says that the greatest apprehension among the business men is that their misfortune will carry down many of ' the insur? ance companies, particularly the local | ones, who have tho largest risks. If the insurance losses are promptly met, very many will resume business again. The people arc not disposed I to be discouraged, if it is a possibility i to again establish in business. Mr. Brown will probably commence the work of rebuilding ut once, und the ! Eroprietors of tho Portland Press ave already ordered new types und presses, and advertised for an o theo or proposals to build one. The scenes in the city during the progress of the fire were such us eye? witnesses will not caro to have re? peated in their experience. All tho vehicles obtainable were impressed into the work of transferring furni ture and effects from buildings burn- ! ingor threatened, but, in many-cases, j they bad no sooner been deposited in j what was thought to be a place of | safety than they were again endan-. gored, and, perhaps, qiiickly destroy? ed by the pursuing flamea In all the Northern cities subscrip? tions are being raised for the relief ' of tho I 'ortland sufferers. The poor manufacturers of New England are more cautious in the publication of the dividends, about these days, than they were before the tariff bill came np in Congress; bat now and then they let out a little of their doings as something altogether "too good to keep." Last Wednes? day, the .Chicopee Manufacturing Company held their annual meeting i in Boston, and disclosed that their dividend? for the past year-poor "fel? lows!-amonnt to only forty-five per cent. But they have saved enough to buy the property- of the Massachu? setts Arms Company, at Chicopee Falls, with water power to carry 15,000 additional spindles. The Pa? cific Mills, at ' Lawrence, Massachu? setts, are ashamed to say that twelve per cent, is their comparatively insig? nificant semi-annual dividend. The Maine Mills, at Lewiston, also show the following contemptible results of six months* Work: HUI and Andros coggin Manufacturing Company, twenty por cent, each, and the Bates Mills ten per cent; - The latter, pro? bably, bates rio jot of heart or hope that the' ten per cent, will bo doubled in the next half year. All. these po? verty-stricken companies, with othors .whoso dividends are too large to pub? lish, are howling for "protection.*" [New York WorUl A MAN STEAMN? ''PAnrrrATTNO'1 BOSOMS. -A uicc-looking moustached man, by the name of Milo M. Mor? gan, was arraigned for stealing from the fancy store of Emil Horner, No. 421 Main street, sundry articles, ehief among which were certain mysterious looking "plumpers," Supposed to be "For man's illusion given," in artiiicially rounding ont and xen* dering "palpitating" the female bust. These mysterious appliances are per? haps more accurately described in the beuch warrant, as follows: "That on the 15th day of June, A. D. 1866," Sec., ?rc, &c, the said Mor? gan "did with force and aims felo ! niously tako one fan, three skeins of yarn, one }>aljji(atinp husom, ono pair ? of scissors," ?cc, ?tc. ! The purloiner of ladies' palpitating bosoms (does lie steal their hearts as well?) was fined $7 and costs, making S9.8G. He was given time to sell his watch, ??c., in order to raise the need? ful. -Hartford Times. ?EN. Ci KANT NOT A CA??DH>ATE VOR THE PRESIDENCY.-It may be stated positively that Gen. Grant will ac? cept a nomination for tho Presidency for the next tenn from no party or faction whatever. His nomination would be equivalent to an election, and Iiis election would necessarily j lead to his retirement from public ! life at the end of his terni of office, j He considers himself yet too young ; to withdraw into retirement; and \ while ho unquestionably has aspira- j tions for Presidential honors with j which to crown his illustrious career, I he feels confident that he can enjoy ; such honors eight or twelve or more i years hence as readily as now. These ! ideas have recently buen expressed j by him'to his most intimate personal ' friends, aro unquestionably the ideas ! that will control him, notwithstand ing the powerful influences now being used to win his consent to accept a ; nomination. So says the New York | Her ali I. A foreign correspondent says: Queen Victoria is never cheered j when she visits London now-a-days. j The remark is that "tho people have forgotten how to cheer." She fre? quently visits town, but her carriages are permitted to pa?;s in silence. The people are either alienated or chilled in their feelings toward her. Ou her ! birth-day, a week or two since, I wu* struck with tho faintness and stingi? ness of tho illuminations. She does many eccentric things, to which allu? sion is made in the papers iu a very covert and veiled manner. For in? stance, the SUir for Juno 1th refers to ', the Queen's recent visit to tho Duke I and Duchess of Sutherland at Clief? den: "The visit to Cliefden was, it is tilted, a sudden inspiration, and un? expected by the Duke 'id Duchess, who had invited a party bo stay there during tho races." KECONSTRUOTION or TENNESSEE. - General Fisk, Military Commander of Tennessee, states that he has closed all the medical establishments of tho Bureau, in that State. He intends to cease the issue of rations, except in tho most urgent oases of nocessity, aud says ho expects to set the Stat? uj ou its legs again, before frost. Samuel Smith, of Bristol, died, on Thursday of last week, aged eighty eight, and his wife, aged eighty-six, died the day after. The couple had been married for sixty-seven years, and, during the whole time, had been separated only three nights. The funeral was observed on Sunday, and they were both buried in the same grave.
