The newspaper publishers, with that
indomitable energy which distinguishes
the craft, though every yestage of their
offices were destroyed, have at once set
about making arrangements to resume
publication. The EUening Journal, as
already announced in these dispatches,
commenced issuing hall sheet on Mon
day evening. The Post will issue its sec
ond number this evening. Joseph Medill,
of the Tribune, though he had seen the
results Of a lifetime of journalistic labor
swept away, Immediately procured an
office on Canal street, West Division, and
this morning issued well printed half
sheet, containing full account of the first
disaster, two columns Of advertisements
and the following editorial, headed
CHEER UP"
"In the midst ofa calamity without par
allel in the worlds history, and looking
upon the ashes Of thirty years accumula'
tions, the people OF this once beautiful
city, have resolved that Chicago shall rise
again. With death in many strange
places, with two or three hundred mil
lions Of our hard earned property swept
away In q few hours, the hearts
of our men And women are still
brave, and they look into tho future
with undaunted hearts. AS there has
never been such calamity, so has there
never been such q cheerful fortitudo in the
face of desolation and ruin. Already
contracts have been made for rebuilding
some OF tho burned blocks and the clear.

II the heat Is so far subdued that the
charred material can be handled. Field,
Lester s. Co. and John V. Farwell Il Co.
will recommence business to-day. The
money and securities in, the banks are
safe. The railroads are working with all
their energies to bring us out OF our
nhiction. The three hundred millions OF
capital invested In these roads is bound
to sec US through. They have been built
with special reference to the great COM
merclal market Of this place, and they
cannot fail to sustain lis. Chicago must
rise again. Wedo not belittle the Calam.
ity that has befallen us; the world has
probably never seen the like of 1t, Ger.
tainly not since Moscow burned. But
the forces Of nature, no less than the
torces of reason, require that the ex'
changes of u great region should be con
Quoted here. Ten, twenty years may be
required to reconstruct our fair city, but
the capital to rebuild 1t flre.proof will
bo forthcoming. The losses VIC have
suffered must be borne but the place, the
time and the men are here TO commence
at the bottom and work UP again-not al
the bottom neither, for we have credit ii
every land, and the experience Of one up

we shall come out right. The Christian
world is coming to our relief The wors
