Tho elections over, we shall now lay aside, poli tics and furnish our reader with news and other matter of a different character. Du ring the late campaigu wo have endeavor ed to do our full duty to tho party to which we havo been attached since a voter, and which we have had tho honor to represent ns Chairman of 'the' County Committee for several years past. If we havo failed iu performing any part of our duty it was not by design. 'We .confess that wo havo had a heavy task imposed upon us since we aswimcd entire control of tho Ameri- our own ranks which showed its fears of losing a little patronngo bestowed upon it by tho Ring. We are happy to note tho fact that our cilbrts were not in vain, aud that honest men of both parties viewed the matter in the same light, aud that a chaago has been wrought about in a providential way. Northumberland county . can now boast of as good, competent and honest men elected to ofllco as ever graced our couuly offices. For this change wc hope now that the share of labor we performed towards its accomplishment may not bo iu vaiu, and that tho officers elected will perform their duties faithfully and manage affairs to relievo tho peoplo of the burden of taxes and let them sco that the moucy is collect ed and honestly appropriated. In tho Prcsidmlial campaign Iho Amer ican was alone at the couuty scat iu dc fcuding,and in open support of tho Repub lican nominees. And although attacked on every side its vindications of the principles of tho Republican party were open and fair. Whether it had tho influence which we deBired it to have, wo leave tho public to judge. Though frequently told by jour nals iu this vicinity that the American was without influence wo take prido iu congratulating the people of tho county upon tho result of tho election which was emphatically decided in favor of tho men And measures which this paper sustained. Slaving accomplished this much wo rejoice with all who helped to bring about this .grand result, and shall lay down the poli tical helmet, and endeavor to discuss other topics of interest to our readers and renew our efforts to further improve tho Ameri can, and make it ruoro useful in accord ance with our means of support by a gene rous; public Tim Great Fire in Boston. In an other part f this paper wo give a full ac couut f the Jjwgcst conflagration that has yet occurred ia jiay of our Eastern cities. The fire that wept away the business por tion oi iuo ity wr ixmon oil aaiuruay aiight last, was only equalled by that of Chicago tl.ivtceti motiMis ago. The summa ry of tho Chiaago loss was 1S.000 buildings liuruod. ?One hundred persons killed, 80, 000. temporarily rflieUcrless, and S300.000, 000 of property destroyed. Tho Crc on Sat-urdaynightwaa-notcotitrolled until Sunday a.ftcmoou,and.is estimated at a loss of over $100,000,000. TLepriuuipal business por tion f theity i laid in ashes, and thous ands of persons: are thrown out of employ ment. .This will create great sufl'ering among tho poor. Efforts arc being made everywhere for their relief. The losses on insurance ns fur as known are stated at 3160,232,726. Insured iu New York 837, .789,552 ; by other American companies, 85,414,811 ; by foreign companies, $20, C28.3G2. UltlNGINO VI' THE RESERVES. TllO Jicmocrat tho week Lefore tho election, called on its readers to "bring up tho re serve, aud they would give Greeley a hand some majority in tho county." To bring out these reserves, tho editor of the litera ry, fictitious and Billingsgate department, did his best to defame tho character of Gou. Grant, with illustrations and lan guage worthy of tho text. The result has, no doubt, convinced him that the in telligent portion of tho Democracy arc neither devoid of tasto or good sense, aud are not disposed to encouraga slang and blackguardism whether in politics or in tho social circle. DiinciDallv of ernnite. A north west wind is nrcvailinc. Tho newspaper men hero call it a second Chicago. 11. d. m. Tho fire is now within two blocks of the Western Union Telegraph of fice, and the operators are taking up their instruments and preparing to vacate. Lino men and moterial nave been ordered to Boston from adioiniug towns, so that if communication with New York is lost. which now seems very likely, it will pro bably be soon restored certaiuiy at an early hour in the morning, if not to-night The (ire has now traveled half a mile tlnouch tho heart of tho business portion of the city, and is spreading with frightful raniditv. 11.30 p. m. Tho flro is now progressing towards Broad street, haviug swept both sides ol bummer street to llign street ana I'urcuase street, lhe goods arc Doing re moved from tho stores in every direction in tho vicinity of tho fire. Fire engines have becu telegraphed for from Providence, Worchcster and other places. Midnight The fire is moving up Frank lin street and has reached nearly to llaw lcy street. The cathedral building at the corner of Devonshire aud Franklin streets is on fire, with no hopes of saving it. The flames are also spreading on Federal and Congress etroota and every kind of vchiclo is impressed for moving goods. Tho fire has reached the Broad street wharves south of Congress street and the. vessels are on lire. The Hartford and Erie railroad depot is burned. Nov. 10, 12.15 A. M. Tho fire is still raging furiously. Communicationshasbcen destroyed with the main office. Dispatches will bo forwarded from tho suburban offi ces. From present appenranccs the fire will be verv extensive, and fears are ex pressed that tho whole business portion of the city will Do destroyed, me names re sist all efforts of the firemen, police and citizens to extinguish them. A number of pumps are being worked by stationary engines, and all the extinguishers and fire apparatus of the city and private institu tious have been brought into requisition. 12.30 a. m. Tho fire is still raging.and it is feared the entire area from Summer street on the south, to Washington street on tho west, and Milk street on the north, to Wa ter on the cast, will be laid waste. Tearl street has so fur escaped, but the heat is intense. 1 a. in. The flames have reached Wash ington street north of Franklin, and tho Transeript buildms ie oa orc- -A.il tne splendid granite warehouses on Franklin Square and 'Winthrop Square and vicinity are burucd. Fears are now entertained that the flames will sweep everything to State street, if not further north. 1.30, a. m. The report that tho Tran eript office wrs on lire is not correct, but the buildings on the cast sido of Washing ton street are in imminent danger. The Boston Pilot ollice and the buildings on Franklin street are destroyed. Tho wind continues northwest and fresh. Worcester, Nov. 101, a. m. A spe cial train from Boston to carry the Worces ter fire department to the burning city, made the run of 41 miles, iu 45 miuutes. Boston, JNov. 10I:i, a.m. Among corners. Jxtua reports were just now Heard and probably other buildings are being blown up. 8.40 A. M. Tho fire did not reach the Hartford & Erie Railroad tkpot. The whole of Pearl street is in ruins. Several buildings on Washington street, including that of ilacCulicn Williams, arc burned. The heat is so intense that the firemen cau not fight the fire successfully. The North National and Revere Banks are burned. 4 a. m. It is impoeible nt this tlmo to give an approximation of the louses, or even a correct statement of the extent of the de vastation. The fire is burning as fiercely ns ever and will probably cross Milk street, towards State street. 4.10 a. m. Tho conflagration continues with fearful effect. Building alter building is blown up, with only the nppntcnt effect of increasing the tcrriblo voluino f flame. The newspaper offices which are on tho lino of the lire have all made preparations for the removal ol their books, papers, xc, with no hope of saving any material. The 2Vans-yollico is already in flames, and the old South Church, dear to all Bos toninns, is at last to fall a victim to the fire. The Journal office will next have to suc cumb, and the Post, Globe and Traveller, will soon follow. All tho nuxilliary forces of tho fire department are being placed in State street, to protect if possible, tho Banks and Insurance offices. II us new l'ostolliec, although incomplete will undoubtedly be ruiucd. If the flames be not stopped at state street, tnu wnolo .North part ol tho city must bo consumed. The lire has not yet touched tho Wes. part of Washington street. JMilk street is now on lire between Pearl aud Federal. 4.30, a. m. All the valuables are being removed from tlici St, lie s .trot banks and Insurance offices The U'es-tt i n Union Tele graph company is moving Ua more valua ble apparatus.

The gas is uow going out in tho telegraph office. Boston, Nov. 10. Another account of tho lire says : There was hardly a breath of wind stirring when the alarm was Bouuded, about half-past 7 o'clock, followed by a second, third and fourth in rapid succes sion, but tho first engine was hardly on tho ground when the lire broke out from tho louiUi story ot a largo luur-story granite store, on the corner ot bummer and Kings ton streets, occupied by iilibcls, lsaldwin & Davis, wholesalo dry goods dealers. It had caught in the eugiuo room, and the names spread with liglitniug rapidity up the large elevator and were first seen climb ing uuderneath tho woodwork of the roof. The engines were fairly at work when be fore any other store had caught. Tho buildings in the vicinity were all of granite, four stories high, and each surmounted with a Mansard roof, none of them beiug over five years old. Tho detached splin ters flew readily as the air was warmed by the terrible heat, and soon flames began licking the Mansard roof, on the opposite side far above tho reach of the streams di rected upon it from all quarters. Fire was constantly in the air, aud ono building af ter another caught on tho roof, and the flames skipped lightly froDVnc window sill to another, so that in less than thirty min utes every cheek was blanched as it becamo evident that the whole city in one direction was at the mercy cf tho flames, which were leaping gaily from roof to roof, and from one building to another. The flrcuien erected barricades and work ed behind them, but they were burned as soon as erected. An hour had hardly elapsed before it was evident that ileebo's biouk, tho 11 nest business structure in the city, built of granite, five Rtories in height, with Mansard roof over all. must go. With in thirty minutes, the flames were coming committee and others are all thoroughly exhausted by the superhuman efforts of the past thirty-six hours. The city presents a strange nnu excuuu scene. State street is sun pueu wun goous, which are now being removed, Everybody appears to be on tho street, and sleep and rest are unthought of. Boston, Nov. 11 1:30 r. m. The flro is still under control, and is now considered thoroughly subdued, al though the engines still continuo at work. The crowds about the burnt district are immense. Telegraphic commumication is seriously interrupted, and it is almost impossible to send dispatches on either line, all the companies having sustained severe losses. Everything is at a stand still. Business is neglected, and the ter rible disaster is the all absorbing topic. The outlook for the working class la ap palling for the next ten months, and most probably will exposo tho poor of Bosten to a serious hardship, unless promptly assisted from other sections oi tho country, j. ne destruction of coal has been Very ereaL All the banks except seven are open and doins business this morn I u 2. It was feared when tho fire broke out again in Jordan, Marsh & Co.'s, this morninsr. that a fresh conflagration was unavoidable ; tho danger, however, was averted bv the promptitude of tho au thorities in exploding two largo stores adjoining, after whion the flro was speed ily checked. Tho entire distance burned over is sixty flvo acres of crround. embracing tho best business portion of the city. Upwards of seven hundred buildings are in nsnes. Lltllo definite information can vet be calhered concerning the loss of lire, but many perished in their attempts to save their goods. Falling walls and timbers crushed to death numbers whoso bodies will never bo recovered. Tho police sta tions are crowded with anxious inquirers for missing friends and relatives. 2 p m. Engines from other citios did most cllbctivo scrvlco and tho peoplo are grateful. It is estimated that over 12,000 men are thrown out of cmnlovment. Tho banks burned were the bank of North America, Revere, Continental, Mount Vernon, National and Emigrant National. Dispatches just received state that but two buildings wi re burned to-dav these destroyed by explosion ot gas. The fire is now effectually extinguished and no further alarm is felt. FINE MILLINERY.

COllKESPONDENCE. Ourl'uilnueIlilii Letter. PriLAUELi'iUA, Nov. 8, 1872. Frttml Wilvert : The election is over, aud we havo won a victory, the like of which never was seen. In October we drove in their pickets and captured their outposts. On Tuesday wo marched upon them agaiu, and captured their eutire works. Their arms and men are ours. Tho terms given upon our first advance were the same old reply given at Donaldson "unconditional surrender, or we move immediately upon your works," nnd the result has been the same. We were all disappaiutcd, somo not as agroc ablo as we were nt the result of the Octo ber elections, and the immense majorities have again done so, being so much greater than we could expect. Pcnnsylvauia is justly the Banner Slate. When I stood in out on hrey billows from every window, front of the Icaztio on Tuesday night, and nnd up the stairway leading to A. T.

The loss of houses aud other property is being now scarcely thought of. .every street tn tne neighborhood or the nro tho prominent buildings already destroyed j is thronged by people, all endeavoring to are tho Cathedral block, the Dnnial Web- save a few valuables as they flee towards The Constitutional Convention. The convenliou to rcviso tho Constitution of Pennsylvania met nt Harrisburg on Tuesday last, nnd organized by electing Hon. William M. Meredith of Philadelphia, President, and Hou.D. L.Imbrie,of Beaver, as Secretary. An invitation from tho Philadelphia city council was extended for tho Convention to meet iu that city, and it is altogether likely that a majority of the members favor tho removal after the first of January nest. Tho Convention will be iu session for ono hundred days and perhaps longer. G HANTS MAJOKITV IN THE STATE. Tho official returns from all the counties but Gve, viz.. Clarion, Green, Jefferson, McKean and Tioga, have been received, whieli make Grant's majority 132,700. The more returns wo get the higher tho majori ty is getting. We would suggest that all who voted for Greeley, clan go their votes and make this thing unauiinou, and that his tory record tho votes for Greeley along with those for Black and O'Conor under tho head "scattering." The horse desease is abating somewhat ster block, tho Boston Pilot buildings and the rear ot the xsoston l fansirtpt building. Orders have been given to blow up both comers nt the junction of Devonshire and Milk streets. The fire is spreading towards South Bos ton, nnd is also progressing towards State street from this street. The immense block opposite the 2'i7of office, chiefly occupied by wholesale woollen dealers, is now all in flames, Attempts are being made to blow up two corners of Franklin street, to pre vent tiie conflagration from extending fur ther towards State street. Immense crowds of people fill the streets, and every effort is being made by them to save property, which is being transferred to various parts ofthocitv. The utmost rood order pre vails, aud nothing is done which at ordina ry times would be considered unseemly. 1.45 a. in. --It is now evident that the busiuess portion of our city is to bo laid in ruins. 1.00 a. m. Jordan & Marsh, Hovey & Co., and other firms on Washington street are moving their goods, aud many parties on Milk nad Water street, aud even as far north as State street, aro doing the same. All the newspaper offices have a force on hand, prepared to move at a moment's no tice. It is reported that several firemen have been killed. 2 a. m,--The fire has broken out on both sides of Pearl street, at the comer of High street, aud threatens tho dUtruciiou of this great centre of the shoo ami leather busi ness. 2.30 a. m. Two buildings have just been blown up at the southeast corner of Devon shire and Milk streets, which it is hoped will stay tho progress of tho fire towards State street and save the new unfinished postoffico building. The streets leading to the Sre are fenced in with ropes and in the care of strong de- lacumeuia oi jwiice, wno Lave strict injunc tion? to permit no one to pass the barriers on any pretext. Thus it is impossible to obtain more than a general account of the progress of the flames. 2.45 a. in. Both sides of Hawley street, also Morton Place, are on fire. The fire on Franklin street has not yet reached Wash ington street. 3 a. ru. Steam fiie engines have just reached here from Worcester. They were pushed through by rail a distance of fourty Tremont and Court streets, where the fire is thought to bo unable to reach. But there is no telling where this awful torrent of heat and flame will stop, ns the wind has already risen to a gale, and it sec ins to have no possitivo direction or current. Tho flames increase in intensity and power, tho vcty atmosphere lends additional force to the wind, which rises ns it were in our midst, and goes rolling over the track of tho fire, huriirg denso showers of firey sparks into i!.e air, only to send them into that portion of the city untouched. Tho rumbl'ug noie nf torrent of llame is now aud then relieved by tUc detonation of J-.uropc, nnd sent word ahead to be sure and have his party registered, for they were bound to return in time to vote for Gen. Grant. He 6ecmcd "really rejoiced at the result, and seemed glad, 1 thought, to get away from his old free trade party.

The excitement of the elections was some what dampened by tho great plague which has fallen upon us. As I look from the window I see heavily laden wagons passing but few where formerly there were hun dredsand why They are drawn by men. The noblo animals, tho horse and mule are sick. Now and then we soo oue pass, closely blanketed, walking slowly staggering, weak and coughing. It is fear ful busiuess is stagnated. What is that unusual sight V An ox, geared like a horse, drawing a grocer's, wagon I There goes a load of lumber drawn by meu. There a milk-man delivering his milk front a push cart.

The flags aro at half-mast, und the funeral which takes place on Monday next, (hour not yet set) will be the greatest military and civio trib ute of respect ever accorded to any ouo in the city of brotherly love. I.aM night we started our arruugeinent to bring out. as a body, the old sailors and soldiers or our army and navy to attend the funeral, and it would uot surprise me if thev uumbcred ten thousand on that day.
