CONFIDENCE REsTURED.
CHIUAGo, October l2.-There was no
renewal of the fire last night, and moth
ing occurred to disturb the city. General
Sheridan has complete control, and conf
mittees are busy, and now that relief is
thoroughly organized, all the needy are
being relieved.
APPEAL TO THE COUNTRY.
At meeting of the various commit
tees from other cities, held in this city last
evening, the following appeal was unani-
mously adopted:
'.The relief committees appointed by the
different cities of the country 10 bring
supplies and investigate the immediate
necessities of the devastated city of Chica-
go beg leave to present this appeal to the
commercial men and capitalists of the
United States. After a careful survey Of
calamity unparalleled IN the history of
the world, with the evidence before them
of our overwhelming losses, mental trials,
individual sutferngs and pressing necessi-
ties never before experienced by any COM
munlty, pray their fellow citizenr, and es-
peclally those having business relations
with the city of Chicago, a city whose en-
PA4SCy 4nO0SIIy anu GAuduSGleSS energy
have conferred honor on the American
people, to sustain the business men in
this, their hour of trial. Their calamity
Is crest, but let your confidence abide
with them.
Extend CO them a generous iberality
by compromises an dextensions when
needed, by the largest possible advances
IN money, so that the business property of
the city may be restored, the desolated
districts rebuilt, and its greatness reestab-
hshed.'
NEWSPAPER EETERPR1sE-cHIcAeo's graf
TTUDE.
The Republican this morning, the an
niversary of its first year under its pres
ent proprletors, issues small half sheet,
and announces its determination to con-
tinue publication The Tribune comes
out with an entire sheet, and with more
than whole page of fadvertisenents,m ts, most
announcements of merchants and other
business men of the reopening of new
places of business.
= The Tribune, in an editorial headed.
Rebuild the city," says: "All is not
lost. Though four hundred million dol
lars worth of property has been destroy
ed, Chicago still exists. She was not a
mere collection of stone, brick and lum-
Der. These were but the evidences of the
power which produced these things they
were but the external proof of the high
courage, unconquerable energy, strong
olth ann restless perseverance, which have
built up here q commercial metropolis.
The great natural resources are all in ex-
lstence; the lake, with its nayies the
spacious harbor; the vast empire of pro-
duetlons extending westward to the Pa
cihc the great outlets FROM the lakes to
the ocean; the thrrty-six lines of rial
roads connecting the city with every part
Of the coetlAent; these, the great arteries
Of trade ana commerce all remain unim-
paired, undiminished, and all ready for
immediate resumption.
What, therefore, has been lost ? We
have lost the accumulated profits Of TWEEN
ty years of prosperous growth. We have
lost the stock In trade on hand on the
night Of the fire. We have a dozen grain
elevators yet remaining; we have mater
iel on hand with which to replace those
which we have lost; we have within thir-
ty-slx hours time the whole country to
draw upon for supplies of every dascrip-
ton OF goods. In two weeks from the
date OF the fire, our merchants can fill al
most any order for merchandise that may
be sent them. The credit of Chicago is
saved when tho whole country has faith
and hope and chnfdence in US. There
will be no depression.
"Cn Chicago itself the wholesale trade
OF the city can be resamed at once Tenn
porary warehouses are being erected and
business resumed. Lot no trouble be bor-
rowed from the past All the losses of the
IRE will in time be passed into the great
crearlng house, and the payment of bal
ances will be made easy for every body.
'Rlch men have become poor. The aa-
cumulations of years have been destroyed
but no one will sit down and waste time
crying for split milk Let as avail our
selves OF the liberal spirit which the coun-
try hae shown IN our calamity. There
are no relentless creditors pressing US for
payment, forcelosing mortgages, or de-
manding the full measure Of their bonds.
On the contrary, the world is asking us to
take money, and unlimited credit and go
ahead, leavsng the pas to be taken care of
IN the future, when Chicago shall have re-
sumed her power and glory.
Let the Watchword thenceforth be /:
Chicago shall rise again. /"
This editorial Feasoss perfectly the ut
most universal feeling of citizens of all
classes, IN regard to their future business
prospects, as it does the following from
the same paper, SO far as mere words can
do, their gratitude for the universal sym
pathy which has been expressed, in the
most practicable form, for the sOrely smit-
ten city. The writer says:
"The response of the people Of the
United States to the appalling calamity
which has overtaken our city, has no par
allel n the history of the world since
Christ died for our sins. We can't return
our thanks for their loving kindness
words falter our lips. Only our stream
ing eyes can tell how deeply we feel their
goodness. While, however, the stricken
people have already aroused themselves
from the first stunning. bewildering effects
of the terrible blow to their business, and
are manfully girding themselves to re-
build their ruined fortunes"
