THINGS IN CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, September I, 1855
To tie Editor Of the National Era:
Thinking a word from the Garden City y
might prove of some interest to your readers, |
will say few words of its present thrifty con.
dition. Chicago has now about eighty thou.
sand inhabitants, and they are all of the 90.
ahead stripe. 1t is surprising to see with what
energy and perseverance each man pursues his
business avocations as he passes you on the
street. With short yet courteous bow he
pods his way along, and is soon out of sight.
The people are generous, and more free from
that tornallty and precision which character
ICES Eastern folks-seemingly having chosen
substance rather than show.
There are some twelve railroads running into
this city, and all paying large dividends to the
stockholders. 1t is surprising TO see the amount
OF grain brought over some of these roads. and
still more surprising to see the thousands OF
passengers who daily arrive in this city, from
all quarters of the country Trains from the
East often bring a thousand passengers at IA
time.
AS for hotels, Chicago may well boast. The
fremont, Matteson, Sherman, Young America,
Foster, American, and other houses, are scarce
ly inferior in size to many of the large hotels
IN New York, and, as for convenience and
beauty Oh HnlSl, are not eXcelled anywhere.
business is very brisk, and all seems full OF
life and animation. 1t is surprising to see the
amount OF lumber which is brought to this city:
and one is almost led to inquire where it all
goes to. This question, however, is easily an
swered by looking about town, and seeing the
buildings which are going up. The cost OF
building in this city, the present year, is est.
mated at over two millions of dollars Some
very fine stone fronts are being put up, which
add much to the beauty of the place.
The health of the city, l am told, was never
better at this time Of the year. There has been
no cholera this season in the form of an epi
demic, and this favorable circumstance has
helped greatly to hasten the progress of the
town.
The crops Of the surrounding country ar,
said to be excellent, and all look forward to a
good time. Last winter, many in this city suf
tered from severe want, who it is thought will
live in "peace and plenty" the coming cold
season. | hope it may be so.
Nothing new in politics, except that new
paper-a Know Nothing sheets about being
started here. 1t is said to be State organ
Yours, respectfully, o. Y. G.

soon after, have given the Kentucky press Of
all parties a dislike of MODS, which operates
still further to protect the freedom of speech in
that State.
Clay and Fee are but men, and need the care
and protection of God, to keep them from error
and faltering in the great furnace of principle
where they are placed. Thus far, they bear
themselves meekly and nobly, and their friends
are numerous and increasing. And without dis
paraging other distinguished men who are OPP
posing the Slave Power in this country, it seems
to me that there is no man whom the American
people would sustain for the Presidency with
such enthusiasm as they would Mr.. CLAW.

other man equally devoted to Freedom and Oh.
