The present population of Chicago is reckoned
mt something over 100000, which is double what
the city had in 1860 The directory shows l,ooo
moro names than last year. There are bare
ly sufficient tenement houses to accommodate
this rapid growth By 1867 it is expected that
two great undertakings will have been accom-
plished-the tunnel under Lake Michigan for Dr., q
supply of pure water, and the lowering OF the Hi
nois and Michigan Canal below tho level Of the
lake in order that the Chicago Rivcr may connect
the two, and be cleared of its impurities which
have Long annoyed and endangered the city. Last
year the fire-nlGrm telegraphic system was put in
Operation. Building, manufactures and commerce
have all flourished in spite Of the war Periodical
literature is abundant there are six daiics, two OF
which ore in German.

THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 81, 1865.
Southern Emigration to Brazil.

Tho planters Of Lafourchc, Louisiana, lately
held q meeting to discuss the subject of emigra-
lion to Brazil. Tho Thbodeau Sentinel speaks OF
them as nativc-born Louisianians, who have come
to tho conclusion, after repeated efforts to sustain
tho planting interests, that the cultivation Of the
sugar cane must be abandoned for lack of labor
ers; that there aro nincty-ninc chances TO ono
against the SUCCESS Of cotton culture; and gen
eral cultivation of corn, as u last resource, would
overstock the market and ruin tho planter
Tho Sentinel edtorially declares that the agri-
cultural prospects OF tho State arc not as gloomy
as those planters Think and adds that, if the
evils of which they complain DC irremcdiablo, the
planters should not abandon their estates and
their country but should, a class, concert mca-
sures to invite the emigration Of laborers who can
bo dopendedon.

Extremes naturally produce extremes.
OF this we were ourselves yesterday an
instance. The extreme heat OF the
weather induced as 70 think OF the
other extreme, ice Thereupon arose
a wish 10 be st the inception or incipi-
ency Of ice, and accordingly We started
on our route up the street With the
"a anpronoupceable undesirable name
Tehoupitoulas 70 the Louisiana Ice
Works. Arrived, and entering, we
found ourselves very conrteously re-
ceiyed by the manager, 10 whom NE re.
turn our thanks. We saw some eight
or ten men 1T work, several vats, q
steam engine in operstiOn, and perceiv-
"A a very strong smell OF ammonia,
which we found TO be the principal
sgent used in the conversion Of water
into ice which many people think a
humbug, but which no one acquainted
with chemistry is surprised at The
Msssiss,ppi water IL purified by alum
and other salts, and is converted into
ice by the abstraction Of its coloric or
heat considered IS q substance. Liquid
ammonia. doubtless largely diluted
with water, Is subjected 10 = gentle
heat II Is at all times strongly and
earnestly inclined toassume the gaseous
form. aud il does assume ton account o.
the heat and becomes purified there By
reconversion into a LIQUID form in which
state il is nearly pure liquid ammonlA
II is of course a principle in chemistry
that the form of bodies, whether solid,
liquid or gaseous, is due altogether 70
the greater or less quantity Of caloFie
which they contain, and also that 3
body in passing nom q solid 10 a anid
form and prove s fluid to a gaseous
form, and has its capacity to contain
oaloric wonderfully increased, the re-
verse being the case with the contrary
process. The liquid ammonia Is now
passed through 80 extended system Of
