are believed 70 be in force. News may be

The hostiles are intrenched IN one 81 the

GOVERNOR JEROME, Of Michigan, has
issued an appeal to the people Of the United
States for aid for the sufferers BY The recent
disastrous confagration In that State. He
says: The fire district covers territory
about l,soo square miles. about one-half 81
which escaped the flames. and the other hall
4 blackencd waste, the destruction "a
properly being pretty evenly distributed
over the whole territory. This Il an agricul-
tural country, with occasionally village OK
small business center, At which were four
ing-mi'ls. saw-mills, stores. churches. etc. !,
etc MANY Of these places and their indus
tries were wholly DESTROYED. and in the
farming portions Ia the track OF the fire
nothing was left for mans use but the land !.
have visited the burned district aud trav-
ersed large portion thereof, driving
through the ruins The knowledge thus
obtained satisfies me that the former esti-
mate that over 200 persons persisted in the
hires was correct, and that further estimates
that there are $4,000 Of these sufferers
now dependent upon the generosity
~ Inc Rut1c were not exaggerated.
They were dependent upon the productions
Of their farms for support. There are few.
Il any, manufacturing industries near them
70 give employment. The aid extended %
the unfortunate By those whose homes were
saved will soon exhaust the surplus Of the
latter. What these people require Is aid to
procure such necessities IS will enable them
70 live until their lands yield. They must
have food until the haryests or 1852 are gath
cred. Anything short Of this will fall 10 ac-
complish the undertaking. The first effect
Of this disaster was to stupefy and paralyze
the energies Of the people. The prompt aid
and encouragement received have stimula-
ted them q help themselves. With the bare
land and their labor only left they begin 70
build anew. The necessity for continued
assistance 70 enable the sufferers 20 70
through The coming winter and 70 become
self-sustaining 4 IN no wise abated. The
