THE JOHNSTOWN OONFLAGRATION, The Great Rolling Mills of the Cambria Iron Works Almost Destroyed—The Loss Estimated at $400,000, PrrrsBuRG, Pa., Oct. 13, 1872, The Rolling Mill bulidings of the Cambria works, covering about five acres of ground, situated at Johnstown, Pa., caught fire about twelve o'clock Jast night. Prompt and strenuous efforts were made to extinguish the fire by workmen and citizens, but only a portion of the main building and the west wing were saved, in a damaged con- dition. The light machinery ofthe mill was entirely destroyed, but the heavy machinery was not much di The workmen organized a meeting and volun’ dd to contribute a certain part of their work to assist in the rebuilding of the works. The machinery will be constructed under a tem- porary roof, so that the delay in manufacturin, will not be longer than two weeks. The stee works, shops and furnaces escaped uninjured. The fire is supposed to have had an accidental origin. Several firemen were injured, but none fatally. The buildings will be reconstructed of fireproof mate- rial. A special despatch to this city says the loss will be about four hundred thousand dollars; in- surance, $100,000, THE SING SING FIRE. The fiendish act which occasioned such destruc- tion of property and probable losa of life at Sing Sing on Thursday morning is still almost the sole topic of conversation among the indignant reai- dents of that village. Nor does the Fire Depart- ment of that place escape severe denunciation, as it {8 asserted that many of the firemen stood still on the occasion and contemplated the fury of the devouring element as it licked up building after building with apparently insatiable voracity, One of the leading men in the village, while speaking of the glaring inefiiciency of the firemen, told the HeRALp repre- sentative yesterday that had fire engines never been introduced there the place would have been spared a loss of millions of dollars. But for this, he said, engine “runners’’ were mainly respon- sible. Now that the smoke has cleared away from the devastated property and tne excitement con- sequent upon the fire partially subsided, it would Ls md that the extent of the fosses has been some- what ex! rated. By careful computation it is ascertained that the total loss will not exceed $100,000, and of this amount about one-third is cov- ered by insurance. John Wheeler, the unfortunate fireman who fellintoa burning building, was still alive yesterday afternoon, although in a precarious condition and suffering terrible agony. His left limb, from the hip down, is literaliy roasted, in ad- dition to other shocking burns on Various portions of his Lage ‘het the ill-fated man haa survived thus far is @ matter of wonder to all who have seen him. Dr. Fisher, who is in attendance, be- lieves that Wheeler cannot possibly recover, A subscription for the benefit of the sufferers has been started in the village, OBITUARY, John O.

OSCEOLA DEPOPULATED. Secaseneeiecammenan Blacks and Whites in Armed Hostility Led by Carpet-Baggers. MURDER OF SHERIFF MURRAY More Scenes of Blood and Local War Imminent. Mempuis, Tenn., Oct. 13, 1872, Having just returned from Osccota, Ark., I am enadled to send a statement of the impending troublesat that point. The town of Osceola contains some six hundred inhabitants, five dry goods stores, seven retail groceries or grog shops, and several dozen trading - residents of various kinds. These are what are left by the tornado which swept over the place two weeks ago, and destroyed some twenty houses, including achurch and three storehouses, with their con- tents. Osceola is the county seat of Missouri county, Arkansas, and is on the Missouri River, ninety miles above this city. The surrounding country is swampy, and the settlement, except an Occasional cotton or farm piantation of several hundred acres, is rather @ wild region. Except by river there ts no communication with the place from this city, and it has neither railroad nor telegraph station, though there is a regular land- ing for steamers. The inhabitants, except those who own farms, are of an illiterate type, such as generally reside in a newly sottied country, For the past six years THE COUNTY OFFICIALS have been of the stripe of the followers of ex- Governor Clayton and his doctrines, Their eleva- tion to office was entirely due to the negroes and ignorant whites. Property and land owners havo had no vote in the election of officials, and a split in the dominant party in the State gave the liberals some hope of changing the political situation and eventually securing a less hated set of county otticials, The principal leaders ot the factions were Murray, the Sheriff of Missouri county, and Fitz- Patrick, County Register. The latter is a bold, bud, erratic man, of violent prejudices, a carpet-bagger from Kentucky and a confirmed radical. FITZPATRICK KULLS MURRAY, THE SHERIFF, In @ public discussion of local politics some six weeks ago he denounced Sheriff Murray, whom he afterwards shot and killed in an altercation, which brought great denunciation down on him. He was @ liberal or “brindle tail,” and popular with the people. Fitzpatrick was extremist, with only negroes for associates, d considerable feeling was engendered by his killing of Murray, which was by some rey led in the light of self-defence, that official having commenced the assault that resulted in his death. Fitzpatrick was soon released under bonds to appear at the succeeding term of Court. LOUAL TYRANNY. A short time since Colonel Gouse, liberal candi- date for Congress, visited Osceola to speak on the olitical issues, Fitzpatrick met him and asked to pewnitted to “divide time.” recognize “im, and was compelled to leave the pecs, because Fitzpatrick declared he would reak up his meeting by getting up an opposition Lysis | @ few hundred yards distant. jad feeling was {increased by this circumstance, and some threats were made by both factions. Last Tuesday was the appointed time for the County Court to be held. Jud; Paimer, of Helena, was appoinsed special Tage in the absence of nage Stephenson, who | had ne off to settle the Pope county trou- le, in company with W. H. Clayton, brother to Senator Powell Clayton, and prosecuting attorney for the circuit; also several members of the Bar. He arrived at Osceola by steamer from this city early on Tuesday morning. It was soon palpable that trouble was brewing, and when the Judge opened Court he found that a!l THE JURORS AND WITNESSES WERE ARMED, During the morning session of the Court a party of armed white men, some twenty in number, marched into the place and stacked arms ina ‘store. They stated that they desired to protect the Court and jurors from attack or intimidation by bodies of armed negroes whom Fitzpatrick was known to have lurking in the neighborhood. An armed party of negroes carrying a flag also marched through the town and drew up in front of Fitzpatrick’s office. The latter took their colors and placed them over his house. He conferred with Judge Palmer, and stated that he was anxious to have his trial for the murder of Sheriff Murray at the present term of Court. JURORS TURNED INTO SOLDIERS. Upon opening the Court on Wednesday morning Judge Palmer found neither jurors nor witnesses forthcoming. Al! were under arms, and had joined the contending factions, the whites, under #eir chosen leader, Bowen, taking position to the north of the town, and the blacks, under Fitzpatrick, sta- tioned one mile south of the village, both on the river banks. Judge Palmer, Attor- ney Clayton, Sheriff Driver and _ several influential friends met the belligerents under flag of truce and read the riot act to the leaders of each. Fitzpatrick promised to disperse his band, 182 strong, and all the blacks. The other side dis- claimed being rioters. During Wednesday alter- noon Fitzpatrick, instead of dispersing his pand, moved them towards the town in double file, marched near the southern edge of the village and filed off through a lane. COMMENCING THE BATTLE. Halting nearly a mile west, the whites under Bowen accepted supposed banter for battle, and moved forward through the town and down the levee towards the blacks, who at once marched into a waste of fallen timber recently thrown down by a violent tornado, At a range of 600 ‘ards firing commenced between the parties, and jong range skirmish! was kept up for an hour or two, resulting in the death of Anderson Garret, a black follower of Fitzpatrick. The whites subse- ee drew off, retired to their camp, built camp res, threw out pickets and laidon ‘thelr arms during the night, FITZPATRICK RETREATED and on Thursday morning was invisible. The whites 1 iy closely, and caused Fitzpatrick to desert his followers and cross the Missouri in Tennessee, at Pecan Point, some forty miles above the city. On Thursday afternoon fifty-two armed white men reached Osceola from Homersville, Mo., a town twenty-five miles west of ola, ‘They came as velunteers to aid the whites and camped near the place. Saturday morning, shortly before I left the scene, the whites under Brown returned from the southward with FORTY-TWO BLACK PRISONERS, captured in the swamps and about various planta- tions. All were charged with being participants with Fitzpatrick with the troubles. The stores and houses were all closed, and much of the goods and plunder had been removed across the river or elsewhere. Families were also sent out of the place, cotton flelds were deserted, workshops closed, and the general appearance denoted strife and disaster, Fears are entertained that the whites under arms may, without acknowledged leaders, become plunderers, and perhaps, ander the ee of liquor, will commit an outrage or cut a throat. A FERLING OF INSECURITY PREVAILS among all good citizens of the connty, An order had arrived from Governor Hadley removing Fitz- patrick from the office of Register, and this act was favorably regarded by tue people. Fitzpatrick passed through this city to-day on his way to Little Rock, where he expects to lay his grievances to the State authorities. He boasts like a braggart. conquering hero of his ex- ploits, and thinks he will go back clothed with au- thority to call out the militia and devastate the country. Efforts are in progress among influential officials and good citizens to circumvent his plans and bring about @ peacciul solution of the impend- ing trouble. Gouse declined to = A PROCESSION RIOT. The Name of Greeley Inciting Negroes in a Grant Procession to Acts of Vio- lence. CINCINNATI, Oct. 18, 1872, Covington had a riot last night. A Grant pro- cession, consisting half of whites and half of col- ored men, was marching along the street, when, as one story hag be ad boy hallooed for “Greeley.” A negro said “shoot him,”. and commenced firing. Another story is that the to pied fired in the air, and another ‘that they fired into the crowd of by- standers, Although many shots were fired no one ‘was hit with burlets, but a number were struck with torches, The doors and windows of two stores Were broken in.

What would prop- erly be the sermon on the occasion was delivered to-day at St. Peter’s Episcopal church, by the Rev. Dr. Brainard, who will oficiate to-morrow. Mr. Seward had long worshipped in this church, and was for many years a vestryman, The services were peculiarly solemn, DR. BRAINARD'S SERMON AT ST. PRTER'S, The rector took for his text Matthew, xxil., 32— “God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” His remarks in reference to Mr. Seward were sub- stantially as follows :— The grief which we are feeling, brethren, this day, is felt all around the world. What an influence must this distinguished man have exerted during his threescore years and ten, that, when the silver cord is loosed and the bowl is broken at the fountain, the tidings are telegraphed all around the world, and a personal shock is felt in every Court and Cabinet on the earth. We have, most of us, I doubt not, read ofthe departure of some one of earth’s greatest sons; how perhaps a new grave 1s made in Westminster Abbey, for some great scholar, chieftain or statesman, Whose deeds called out a nation’s gratitude, and whose death unsealed the fountain of a nation’s tears; and you have thought, I doubt not, what a privilege it must be to join in that throng who witness such a demon- stration of popular feeling at the last resting place of the ed and good. But, my brethren, here in our midst one has been living these many years, and has now been called away, whose superior it were difmicuit to find within the annals of history. His life is measured by the years of this nine- teenth century. Where can you find another whose threescore years and ten have been so fruitfuly What English writer was such a master of the language ¥ What master ever used language for nobler ends ? What conquests have been won by his words and pen? If the land is to-day breathing the pure air of freedom it was because of his influence that the shuckles fell from the limbs ofenslaved millions. If throughout this land there has been felt the spirit and power of great principles it is because all these years he has been. their mighty champion... We have seen him, breth- ren, when returning to the peaceful rest of a home which esteemed his presence the greatest of biess- ings, he would come to this holy place and join in praise and worship of the sanctuary with the deepest devotion. HERE AT THIS ALTAR he was wont to kneel until infirmity rendered it impossible to commemorate the passion of his Redeemer. For many years he was an officer in our ae serving as a vestryman, aud from time to ime as @ lay delegate he represented St. Peter's church in our diocese in convention, In these always ioeet and during many pastorates, he hi en the rectors’ friend, and I here bear grateful testimony to his unnumbered acts of kind- ness me _ personally, and record my profound obligations for the words of wisdom which I have heard from his wonderful lips, Such & man, brethren, it has been our privilege to call our neighbor and our friend. This man, thus dis- tinguished in life and honored tn death, has dwelt among us, and the “loveliest village of the plain” has had an added loveliness because it was the home of America’s most gifted son. And now in the providence of God this statesman whose pro- found wisdom has secured the world’s ieee this advocate whose voice and ede have ple: ied for the poor and defenceless ; this philosopher, whose enlarged vision, looking out upon our country’s future, could see such sf; of hopefulness that in the darkest hours he had no doubts or fears; this Cabinet officer, whose hated the haughtlest foreign Courts were obliged to recognize: this busy, untiring workman th the fair flelds of literature and the deep mines of truth; this near neighbor and | speech whom we love; this fond father, whom ‘is amily idolized; THIS GREAT MAN, who from earliest years filled places of high distinc- tion, and filled them well, has laid aside all these honors and left his work, and lies down in happy and trustful peace, while the angels of God breathe ee him a blessing and shut to the doors of his cart. One year ago to-day I addressed you upon the pressing calamity of the hour, the destruction by re of the great city of the West. To-day this city, this nation, the world, are more deeply stirred, The year is past, and industrious toil and marvel- lous enterprise and fnergy have to an astonishing degree rebuilt the city; but who shall restore to ita former place the majestic structure that has fallen in our midst? Who can rebuild the noble temple that now lies prostrate? My brethren, cities and nations have no future ite, but for man there 1s reserved this marvellous po Sele “God is not a God of the dead, but of the living.” He whose departure has unsealed the fountains of our tears has pass within the vale where the sublimest knowledge is attainable. The dead are living men; they live to God; and while to-day we feel that earth has lost her most gifted son, let us at the same time thank God for the promises of His blessed Word, and let us humbly pray that the lessons of this noble life may not be spread out before us entirely in vain, SERMON AT THE FIRST METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, Rev. W. J. Beecher, Professor of Hebrew in the Presbyterian Theological Seminary here, filled the pulpit of the First Methodist Episcopal church in the absence of the regular pastor, and delivered an eloquent sermon, Speaking of Mr. Seward he said: To-day the eyes of all nations are on our little town. We have hung a few yards of black stuils upon the fronts of our dweilings, and the telegraph has told of it in every American village and has hastened the news under the seas and spread it throughout Europe, Asia and Airica; and wherever the news comes—to Caucasian, Mongolian, Malay, African or American—men’s jaces grow sad | in sympathy with our sorrow. A third | of a century since a fellow citizen of ours became suddenly famous by stand up against the world in behalf of a poor, brutalized wretch, who had committed a horrible crime. In afew years more this citizen had become the controlling tind in the politics of the Empire State. A little later men owned him as a master of the capital of the nation, The irrepressible conflict which | his sagacity had recognized hastened to its | crisis, On him devolved the gravest responsibilities | of the hour; more than once he stood nearly alone, resisting the prejudices of the nation as well as the attacks of itsenemies, The assassin’s knite reached him, ‘To the burdens and glories o: tesmanship | he nearly added that of martyrdom; and forth from those eight. years of service there came @ rescued nation, and a feebie, palsied old man, whose mag- nificent vitality had been wasted in the rescue, Men wondered at the resolution which enabled him, ins’ wah of shutting himself up as an invalid, to make the TOUR OF THE WORLD. He did not goas @ sovereign prince. Cabinet omicer, no accredited ambassador, longer held oficial position—he was simply a pri vate citizen, a leeble old man, carried ina chair. | Yet from every people and race in the circuit of the earth the feeble, palsied traveller received such | honors as had never been before paid to mortai man. He heard his pba spoken in half the principal languages of the globe. Even the haughty chiefs of the ancient aristocracies of Asia were proud to bow in respect before the Western stranger. FATHER LOUGHLIN AT ST. MARY'S CHURCH. At the Catholic Church of St. Mary's the Rev, Father Loughlin satd, in addressing his congrega- tion, that circumstances permitted him to say only afew words to-day, and they would be to express his personal sorrow for the death of their dis- tinguished fellow citizen, and to add his feeble tribute to the general voice of regret, He advised He was no He no ? cl a Saal ATES a a a ai Ce hon and | me toteave home.

The Rey. 8, W. Boardman. D, D., pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, delivered an interest ing discourse on the subject, in which he paid a long and eloquent tribute to the character of the great statesman. » He then proceeded to show that: firat, the life of Mr. Seward teaches all, and especially the young, the value of diligence and industry ; second, that he must have very early acquired, ag he sald of Mr. Webster, that just estimate of his own powers which was the basis of self-reliance, which all the world approved, while it betrayea no vanity, ride or arrogance; third, that he has elf us @& splendid example of patriot- ism; fourth, a comprehensive benevolence toward all mankind, and especially the down-trod- den and oppressed. He sald no taint of corruption attaches to his name; no party accuses him of riches unjustly acquired in public oitice. That he was ambitious of eminence and even high orice does not mar his public record, A right embition is noble, and both the order dT his talents, which it was well for him and for the world that he should early estimate Suan and his early successes in life, abundantly justifed in him the highest honorable aspirations of any American citizen. “He weil knew that he had an ability to serve his country which belonged to few, and te is only to his credit that he was always willing to exert that ability to the utmost. His great exam- ple teaches us each one, however humble our Sphere, to do likewise. In alluding to MR. SEWARD'S SUFFERINGS the preacher said the greatness of Mr. Seward, as of all other benefactors of the race, appears more conspicuous in his sufferings than in his words or achievements for principle and for the good of men, Suifering is greater and more eifective than action. There was a time when Mr, Seward had few associates in the Senate in the maintenance of Pipl which have since become prevalent. ‘hey were generally pronounced as impracticable, if not malicious; their theories were regarded as visionary and mischievows, It required no slight courage to stand nearly alone with so wide a gulf between himself and most of his fellow-Senators, Was there not self-sacrifice and self-denial for the sake of principle in that voluntary isolation’ It is easy to attribute a deep, far-secing scheme of self-seeKing to such men, as if their course were adopted because of its foreseen ultimate triumph and asa means of selfish agrandizement in the end, But such an imputation is as unreasonable as it is uncharitable. Did not Mr. Seward choose that position of general unpopularity, not because it Was unpopular nor because its reproach was ever likely to be turned into favor, but simply because he believed it to be right, to be demanded by his duty and to the public good? In earlier and in later days he labored in the same cause with lesge numbers, but he will undoubtedly stand out in the Ught of history as most conspicuous when most alone in THE ADVOCACY OF RIGHT. In later years how touching the record of his sulferings in attaining the consummation of ends which had been before him for life! Not a mem- ber of his household who did not do or suiler something for the Union in the hour of its terrible trial. A man of singular natural amiability, after a career of life-long benevolence, the knife of the assassin, cutting its way through children, and attendants to his sick bed, and flashed revengeiul over his honored head, leaving him bruised and scarred, while it only failed of its aim in his instant death, at the same moment with that of the martyr President, recall the slow re- covery of himself and his gradual wasting and sink- ing under the reaction of such a shock to their atiections of those who were dearer to nim than life, till in succession wife and daughter were followed by his desolate household to the tomb, Who that witnessed it can ever forget that pale but sustained and noble countenance, framed in the surgeon’s bands, as he hung over that open grave in Fort Hill Cemetery of her who had been his early love and life companion? {t was a scene which the artists of some distant centur, iy strive in vain adequately to picture. All this he suffered cheerfully because of his services for the humble, the lowly and the oppressed ; because he devote his great talents, with great and tireless exertion to help the he oo to uplift the down-trodden, to set e the bound when it could be safely done, he was accounted worthy to suffer s0 much for the poor. This pulpit is draped; the world mourns to-day for a greatness above that of ail in- tellectual achievements of ofticlal eminence—the moral etek of doing and suffering for the op- pressed. The discourse concluded with an eloquent argument showing the “rh peer of a firm reliance upon God for success in all the affairs of life, AT THR BAPTIST CHURCH, The Rev. Mr. Maynard, of the Baptist church, made an incidental allusion to the death of Mr. Seward, promising his congregation a discourse on some future Sabbath. He said:— Almost within the sound of our voice one sleeps in death who has been a chief actor in the most im- portant events of the age. The time has not ar- rived for an impartial estimate of all his public acts; that office must be consigned to unborn his- torians. We, his fellow townsmen, however, of all political and religious sects, of all nationalities, without one dissenting voice unite fi bearing our witness that, living among us with @ frank unreserve that enabled us to see the thoughts of his heart as through an open window, he produced this impression upon our minds, that he labored with pure motives to make this land the home of @ free and united republic. Whether in aiming at this regult when guiding the ship of State in the midst of tempest and darkness he might have been at one period too radical, at another too conservative, we leave lor future generations to decide, venturing the pre- diction, however, that these future generations (citizens ofa republic for which he helped to achieve a permanent freedom and a permanent union) ,bein: imbued with a reverential gratitude for his great services, will deem harsh criticism of minor mis- takes a gross sacrilege. To-day evergreen arches are being sprung over the streets through which the faneral procession will pass en route to the cemetery, all being appro” priately draped. LIST OF PALI-BEARERS.
