FRIDAY, June II, 1859.
Ed. EMPIRR-- This morning we arose re-
freshed, at Eve, and took long walk before
breakfast. On our route we passed through
Clark, Randolph, State and other streets, and
took q look at Michigan Avenue. The
streets are of irregular grade, many of them
being regarded and elevated several feet, so
as to afford cellars and Easements. In some
places we are told the streets have been
raised from ten to fifteen feet OF course
the buildings have also to be raised, and five
story brick buildings are raised so as 10
make room for basement, by means of
screws. A Thousand screws and two hum
dred men are employed in raising or remov.
ing these large buildings This new sub
soil of ten feet is brought from considera-
BILE distance, and is very expensive but the
enterprising Chicagoans overcome all diff
culties. A city that has increased in popu.
lation from $1,000 to 10000 within the last
twelve years, besides building some of the
most magnificent warehouses, store rooms
and private residences in the world, exhibits
spirit of industry and enterprise unparal.

After a lengthy walk we returned to our
Hotel with an excellent appetite fer break,

City Railway ride to "Cottage Grove, and
several public institutions besides Rail Road
excursions to various parts. We determined
to accept the invitation Of the Chicago and
Milwaukee Rail Road. On our arrival at the
Depot we found eight cars crowded with eK.
