THE Chicago Journal has not missed a
single day of its regular issues on account
of the great fire. Notwithstanding the
fact that its office, type and presses were
included in the general ruin OH Sunday
night, by the assistance of friends. the
journal got out small sheet on Monday
afternoon, while the fire was raging.
Every day since that the Journal has sent
out an edition. Owing to inadequatepre
facilities, all its subscribers have not been
supplied, but the managers deserve more
credit than can ever be given them for
the energy with which they have over
come great difficulties.

great wonder is not that so many people should
have persisted, but that single individual re-
mains to describe the fearful scene through
which he passed. Certainly no one OF the few
that did escape expected anything but certain
destruction at the time Several families sought
refuge in a large boarding house, but 1T quickly
took fire and burned A few of the in
mates Succeeded in reaching the river
Many were burned in their fight, and a
mother was consumed in the building
with her five children, which she would not
desert. Mr., Beebee and his family were at the
store and attempted to fee to the water, which
was only half dozen rods distant, but all per-
ished in the scorching flames except a little boy.
Several, seeing the hoplessness of escape, in
their desperation attempted to take their own
lives. Many families became separated in the
general confusion that followed the first alarm,
and those that survived suffered the most in
tense anxiety concerning the fate of the others
Some, gaining a secure position, afterward lost
their lives In their vain search for their friends.
A family from the East was visiting with Mr..
May, and the whole of both families were burned
up together.
Many who were saved owe their lives to the
eIertion of Others who we're near them, and a
score of heroic deeds were narrated to US. In
contrast with this we heard of human hyenas
who prowled over the ground as soon as the
danger of the storm was past plundering the
dead and helpless Can human depravity ever
find better illustrated There are other tales
of suffering and anguish told of that terrible
night that are too narrowing to write or think
of Verify, the Peshtigo horror will long be re-
mem bered

THE LESSON OF CHICAGO.

The people of Chicago are setting an ex-
ample before the American people, which
cannot fail to be turned into good account.
Not only will the nation-the people col
lectively-profit by their noble example,
but individually, and especially the young
and the vigorous, will learn most VaIua-
bic lesson. They will learn never to re-
pine and grow respondent under dlfncul-
ties and misfortunes, however appalling
they NAV appear at first sight. They may
learn a lesson of hopefulness, in the face
of what, to ordinary minds, would seem
irretrievable disaster.
Had such fire occurred in some of the
large Asiatic cities, hundred chances to
one, they would never recover from the
shock. But Chicago, Phoenix like, arises
from her ashes and assumes life and vi
ror. that points to a time near at hand
when she will not only have recovered her
former glory, but have out-stripped it all
The embers had hardly ceased to glow in
her ruins, when her enterprising inhabi'
tants commenced to remove the rubbish
preparatory to rebuilding the city. Be-
fore Christmas, massive blocks ofbuildings
will stand, where, but few days ago, the
mad element was devouring everything
before it.
Does this not present worthy example
for the emulation of the civilized world
1t teaches us that very few things are i'm
possible with man where he has will to
accomplish his ends. The American peo-
pie owe the Chicagoans debt of gratitude
for their noble example in this their time
of sore trial, and we are proud to know
that they have done all in their power to
discharge that debt, by literally contri-
buting of their means, for the relief of so
noble, and so worthy people.

THE GREAT NORTHWESTERN FIRES.

Almost simultaneously with the confla-
grafton at Chicago. a fire broke out in the
pine forests of Wisconsin and Michigan,
which has been one of the most appalling
calamities of which history gives any ac-
count. Not only has property been de-
stroyed to the amount of millions, but hui
man life has been sacrificed to a fearful
extent. A whirlwind of fire has swept
over a large territory of country, obstruct-
ing every avenue of escape by falling tim
Der and burning bridges. Men, women
and children were forced to stand in the
water for hours in order to escape hor-
rible death. Gov. Fairchild, of Wiscon-
sin, has made it the subject of an
address to the people, in which
he calls upon the State to assist the desti-
tute. bv sending to their relief food, cloth
inc. blankets, &c. He has been urged to
call a special session of the Legislature, but
has declined to do so for the reason that
the expense of an extra session would be as
much. and perhaps, more than 1t would be
necessary to contribute to the relief OF the

in the water, and cannot be recovered TILL they

THE INVISIBLE EMPIRE"

The letter of the distinguished Demo-
cratic gentlemen from North Carolina to
Judge Bond, together with his pointed and
sensible reply, is attracting a good deal OF
attention. These gentlemen evidently
failed to consult Democratic editors before
writing their letter, or else they never e1-
pected it to be made public. Their letter
contains admissions, which are not Of
ten met with in Democratic circles. They
start out by saying 1.-the fact that secret
unlawful organization called hukIuX, or
Invisible Empire, exists in certain parts OF
the State has been manifested before the
recent trialsn over which Judge Bond has
presided. How strangely different tn
is from the light in which the Nashville
Banner, and other Democratic journals,
tr to make these Investigations appear
The Raleigh Standard said the convictions
for violating the law were brought about
by packing the jury. The Banner and
other Democratic sheets copied it and gave
it to their readers to make them believe
that no such organization existed. And,
vet, these gentlemen, prominent members
of the Democratic party, practicing law
yers in the court, say that it is made man
ifest by these trials that the unlawful or
ganization called the KukluX, or the In
visible Empire, does exist in some parts of
the State. These men show by their APP
peal to the Judge to pass over the cases
untiIa future term of the court, in order toaf-
ford these gentlemen an opportunity to dis
band and cease their plundering and muir
dering operations, that they are the personal
friends of members of the Invisible EN-
pire,n which is another name for kukluX
klans. They being their personal friends,
would hardly misrepresent the testimony
which made their existence so manifest
We are glad to see the spirit of candor dis
played in the letter to Judge Bond, but
suppose the evidence was so overwhelm-
ing that the facts were beyond dispute.
We trust we will hear no more denials OF
the existence of such an organization after
the evidence given from this unprecedented
source against the "lnvis'
IDLE Empire.at least"

the CENTER No further particulars are given
Another Bordeaux dispatch gives the substance
Of a general order issued by Gen. Chanzy to his
troops, explanatory of the late disaster at lie Mans
He attributes the abandonment of that city by the
Army of the Loire to an unexplicable panic among
some of the troops the loss of important positions
which compromised the safety Of the entire army,
and the failure to execute certain orders given by
himself He says, nevertheless, that supreme
l1ort on the part Of the army may yet save the
country, and appeals in strong terms to the SOL
diers to rally to his support, and to fight with
renewed vigor for Liberty and the Republics
Advices from Laval state that $1,000 French
troops had left Cherbourg to reinforce Chanzy
and others were to be sent at once to the front.
