Excitement In Jen York. Niw York, Oct.

9. There is great excitement in Wall street and throughout the city generally over the Chicago fire. onm of the Principal Buildings Destroyed. Among the buildings reported as destroyed are the Court House, the Sherman House, and the Chamber of Commerce, all of them large and substantial structures, and erected on strictly modern principles. During the past two or three years the Court House has been considerably enlarged by the erection of wings on either side, and it was at the time of its destruction one of the largest and most substantial buildings of the kind on the continent.

The building extended from Clark lo Lasalle street, in the centre of the blcck bounded on the noith by Randolph, and on the south by Washington street, leaving an open piazza on either face. The central portion was built of stone quarried near Lockport, N. and had an exceedingly dingy look, affording a striking contrast to the newer and brighter portions. The Chamber of Commerce, one of the finest and most substantial buildings in the city, was situated on the southern side of Washington tireet, immediately opposite the Court, House. The Sherman House, a magnificent white marble building, somewhat resembling the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, in external appearance, and about equal to the Continental in Bize and capacity, had its main front on the west side of Clark street, and extended from the north side of Randolph street, immediately opposite the Court House, half way to Lake street.

The office of the Western Union Telegraph Company, which is burnt, is an elegant sand stone building, one of the finest in the city, and only completed and occupied a year ago. It resembled in its exterior the Herald build, ing of New York, and was nearly as large and costly. It fronted Court House Square, and was surrounded by buildings of like character, occupied as banks, insurance offices, real estate offices, etc. The United Slates Custom House and Post Office, at the corner of Monroe and Dearborn streets, was a splendid sandstone structure, built in the moat substantial manner by the U. S.

Government, and was supposed to be entirely fire proof. It cost about $300,000. Lombard Block, which adjoined the Custom House, is one of the largest business structures in the city, and contained the offices of several newspapers and magazines, including the Advocate and the Little Corporal. The Chicago Tribune building, which is the only one left in the business centre of the eity, was saved by its being absolutely fire proof, there being no wood whatever in any portion of the structure. The water works, situated on the lake shore, quarter mile north of the mouth of the Chicago river, were the pride of the city, and contained some of the finest and most powerful engines in the world.

The destruction of these, about eight o'clock this morn ing, stopped the water supply throughout the city, and left everything at the mercy of the fire. The Michigan Southern and Rock Island Railroad passenger depot was probably the largest in the countiy, substantially built of stone, and of elegant architecture. The Union Passenger Depot of the Illinois Michigan Central, and Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad stood at the foot of Randolph street on the lake It was built of stone, large and commodious but in so elegant as the Michigan Southern. All tko Business Portion of the City tieeireyrn do.uuu a eopio Homeieaa. Chicago, Oct.

0. Noon. The whole business portion of the city is in ashes from Harrison slreet North to Chicago A East of River to Like Avenue. The fire sweeps destruction three miles in length, to mile or mile and a half in width. Every Hotel, Bank, Express office, Telegraph office, Theatre's, and Newspaper office, with the wholesale houses in the city are totally destroyed.

Many thousands of dwellings and the water works are destroyed. Early this morning the wind was blowing a terii fic gale from the Southwest. No one can tell what the end will be. The only salvation for the remainder of the city is in the wind keeping its present direction, Fifty thousand people are homeless, most of them in destitute condition. The unburned streets for miles are lined with household goods.

Noons dare think what the loss of life may be. The flames swept through the city with the rapidity of a prairie fire, and many must have perished. The Western Union Telegraph has succeeded in getting up few wires from a hastely improvised office in the southern part of the city, establishing communication in nearly all directions, Munificent offers of assistance are coming in from every direction. It is reported the Ritlicrrnel's celebrated picture of the Battle ef Gettysburg is destroy ed. The fire Under toatrol.

White, con victed at April Sessions, 1364, of murder in the second degree and sentenced to ten years' imprisonment, was received from Harriidmrg, White served the first four or five years of his sentence in the Eastern Penitentiary, pre' vious to his removal to our county prison, The circumstances under which the crime was committed, it will be remembered, were that the victim, Frederick Weaver, a member of a Company of Cavalry doing duty as a provost guard and stationed in camp near this city, was shot on the pavement in front of Bertolet Grant's tavern, at Tenth and Penn streets, by White, ho was so much under the effects of liquor at the lime as to be bereft of his reason.

When 'lodged in prison, he was found to be in i condition of delirium, upon recover ing from which he was entirely ignorant of what had taken place. He had previously been a habitually sober man. White is from Georgia and was impressed into the rebel service at the outbreak of the war, being then some seventeen years of age. He deserted in Maryland and joined the Union aimy, being promoted to the position of Sergeant for good behavior. His deport ment both in the Eastern Penitentiary and in the county prison has been exemplary, and the Warden of the former institution joined with a number of leading citizens of this county in an earnest recommendation to the Governor for a pardon.

The efforts to Be cure the pardon were continued for several years past by the friends whom White had interested in his behalf. Had not the pardon would in all probability have been released next spring under the Commutation Act, for good behavior. While in prison he cultivated his mind, and was per mitted to subscribe for a newspaper. He is represented asbaving been from the beginning sincerely repentant of his ha'sty act, and has every prospect of an honorable and useful life before him, the salutary result of the punishment inflicted by the law.

Secretary, COTTON FLANNELS, ELLEUTON MILLS, AMOSKEAG MILLS, NASHUA MILLS, EVERETT XXX, and other good makes of bleached and un li leached Cotton rlannels just opened, at Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs, uoh as Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, Bronohitia, Aathma, and Consumption. Among the great discoveries of modem science, few are of more real value to mankind than this effectual remedy for all diseases of the Throat and Lungs. A vast trial of its virtues, 'throughout this and other countries, has shown that it does surely and effectually control them. The testimony of our best citizens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that Cherry Pectoral will and does relieve and cure the afflicting disorders of the Throat aad Lungs beyond any other Thesmost dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs yield to its power; and cases of Consnmp Hon, cured by this preparation, are publicly known, so remarkable as hardly to be believed, were they not proven beyond dispute.

As a remedy it is adequate, on which the publiu may rely for full protection. By curing Cough, the forerunners of more serious disease, it save unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering not to be computed. It challenges trial, and coa vinces the most sceptical. Every family should keep it on hand as a protection against the early and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affections, which are easily mot at first, but which become incurable, and too often fatal, if neglected. Tender lungs need this defence; and it is nnwise to be without it.

As a safeguard to children, amid the distressing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, Cherry Pxctorai, is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multitudes are rescued from premature graves, and saved to the love and affection centred on them. It acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds, securing sound and health restoring sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Iufluensm and painful Bronchitis, when they know how easily they can be cured. Originally the product of long, laborious, and successful chemical investigation, no cost or toil is spared in making evory bottle in the utmost lossible perfection. It may be confidently re ied upon as possessing all the virtues it hat ever exhibited, and capable of producing cures at memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.
