The Missouri FILLING Up.-The be

of the Missouri river seems to be fill
ing up at rate which threatens, in the
course of time, to seriously affect nav
igation during the dry season. This
year ct St. Louis, where the surface OF
the water has been four feet and one
inch above the lowest stage of water
attained by the river in 1863, there was,
at the same time, only about five inch
es difference in the depth of the channel
between these years, showing that the
bottom of the river must be three feet
and four inches higher than il was IN
1868. So in 1856, the bed of the river
was found TO be two feet and three
inches higher than Il was ten years pre-
Yions.

THE EXTENT OF THE CHICAGO CA
LAMITY.

The Chicago Eveninq Journal thus
refers to the great destruction of the
fire, as oomprred with great fires in 9TH
er cities in the world which have oc-
cured in the past. The Journal says:
'Some idea of the fearful ravages du-
the Great Fire of Chicago may be enter
tanned by comparing 1t with the other
two greatest of frey visitations in the
history of the world-those of London
and Moscow. The Great Fire of Lon
don covered 500 acres of ground, rem
dered homeless. 200, 1000 Inhabitants and
1880 houses. That of Moscow burned
10000 houses. The Great Fire of Chi
cago laid waste over 1900 acres, up
wards of 5000 buildings and rendered
about $1,000 persons homeless.
AS to the pecuniary loss no fire which
ever occurred in the world has been at
tended with that suffered by Chicago,
as in no city was there such an amount
of valuable merchandise or so many
expensive buildings destroyed. Most
of our merchants had received their
winter stock of goods, none of which
they were able to save. The loss in
merchandise alone at this last great con-
fiagration, will be double that suffered
by London and Moscow combined.

With heroic courage the people al

es. are everywhere setting to work to
relieve the distresses of 9th rs. Mil.
warkee, st. Louis, Detroit, Toledo-in
fact every village and city within reach
have already come to our relief with 6
generosity and promptitude, the mem
DRY of which will ever be treasured in

But, we repeat the great heart of Chi

There was a Confederate gathering
at Lexington, Mo-, on the 10th instant,
at which General Marmsduke, in brief
speech, gave expression to the follow
ing:
There is holy conviction with me that We
all entered into the contest believing we were
right, and fought IL out to the last, and the
fact that so believe makes me happier in the
thought that am now citizen Of the United
States. l have an admiration for those who
fought bravely against me, and say to them
to-day we are your friends. Let us all strive
TO be good and worthy citizens, and In the
end we will be the strength and stay OF the
government. II we be true to ourselves. our
fellow men and our country, we will have n
government beyond reproach.
fall Southern officers and soldiers
had renowned their treason when they
found it was worse than useless longer
to contend, and declared their allegiance
to the Uuion in this monner, it would
have been better for them and the gov
eminent. We feel glad to hear ex-reb-
els speak in such tone of cheerful
submission. 1t is honorable and sensi.
BILE.
AT the same meeting General Shields
said:
We have not come here to-day to plot trea
| son or hatch rebellion, as some may think ant
say; but we came to meet all as friends anC
| brothers Of n common country. For whil'
we were DISTINGUISHED. never heard tru'
Confederate complain OF this. We are now
by q display OF extraordinary liberality, re
stored TO full citizenship.
Commenting on this meeting, the st
Louis Democrat says:
Only one speaker, evidently with more win
than wit, talked disloyally. When Confeder
ates tell US that they are glad to be still citi
zens OF the United States, and are proud I
claim that they are American citizens, W
may hope for the day when many Of thes
. veterans, tottering with age 10 the grave. shall
honestly confess that they have lived to rejoic
that their cause was lost. This will be so
the spirit OF concord and patriotism above eX
pressed shall but come to pervade the masse
OF the ex-Confederate States.

The question whether the insurance
companies are liable for the buildings
blown mp in Chicago to stop the pro-
gress of the fire, had already been de-
cided by cases brought before the New

that troubles Chicsgoans most.
