MONKY. p N * w YORK, NOV. 28.—Money was active In the morning at the high rate* of yesterday, but in the afternoon the market watt easier, and the rates at t h e clows were 8 to 8 per eent on call. The Secre- tary of the Treasury declined to make any awards for bonds to-day, aa the prices at which they were offered were, in hia estimation, above par in goM. Bankers who have sent to Washing- ton 6-MSJ of 11M2.J called in for redemption on December 1, will to-morrow receive Treasury gold check*, payable December l, to the amount of fS.OOO.m. that amount having been already ex- amined and counted by the department at Wash- ington. The bonds were forwarded Be7eral day* aga, having been received from Europe. It ia estimated that the above sum is about two-thirds of the entire amount presented for redemption. This amount include* all called bond* presented thus*f*r for both^domesftc and foreigners' necotmt. The entire atnonnt of M h g a l l e d in ft* December 1 is tlW.ow,***. The great- er part of these have been taken up by the Euro- pean and American syndicate, and will be turned in payment for the new five*, so that it i* likely but a small amount of additional gold will come on the market. The knowledge of the fact that the Treasury will tend here to-morrow t6,oon,oot> «-f gold checks, payable December!, weakened the gold market, and sympathetically govern- ment bonds, made the money market easy, and checked the downward tendency of the stock market.

WASHINGTON, D. C , Nov. 28.—The publication of Blair's views on the polltlcsl situation has creat- ed unlimited discussion among those politicians and officers who have arrived. The Democrats evince considerable chagrin at what they con- sider Blair's injudicious advice, and refuse to commit themselves either for or against a passive policy. Congressman Beck thinks the best thing the Democrats can do at the present time is to keep their months shut and not concede that their cause is hopeless in advance of the contest. Senator Kelly, recently elected from Oregon, as Williams' successor, does not think his constituents would endorse the move- ment, but the Democrats would lose the State in the next Presidential election, through apathy and discontent He says that such a course, on the heels of the recent Repub- lican victories in New York, Ohio and Pennsylva- nia, would be hailed on the Pacific coast as a vir- tual dismemberment of the Democratic party.

The general facto relating to the burning ef Chicago are well known—the unparalleled extent of the burned district, the blasting wind whoso unabating fury will never be forgotten, the local- ity where the fire originated, its unexpected pro- gress across the South Branch of the river, its rapid advance in a northeasterly direction, con euming the very heart of the city, its occasional eddying to the right and left, zigsaging along al- leys or wooden rows, and suddenly encircling some magnificent block in a sheet of flame; pale faces peering from upper windows, b.urried- l y calculating the chances of eseape; streets crowded with horror-stricken fugitives, fleeing for safety they knew not where; a sheet of flame ode mile in length, driven by a hurricane having a velocity of 120 miles an hour, with a heat so in- tense that it consumed al Ike wood and iron, and brick and stone. Besides this, many heart-rend- iug Incidents have been related of perilous escapes and fearful deaths. And yet who shall say, aw from day to day the workman's spade uneartas ndw victims, revealing new facts, aad adding ehapter after caapter to this already ponderous v ulume of horrors, that the story has all been told, and that concerning that dreadful night there is no unwritten history 1 Recent facts en- able us now to tell the sad story and tragic fate of John E. Donovan, who lost his life in the fire. Mt. Donovan eame to this city about six years ago from Sauk County, Wisconsin, where he had served as Sheriff of the county, and where h e was well known. In this city he had for several years been known as the lessee of Pope's Block, adjoining the new Open Board Building. At the time of the fire he was stopping with his wife an* child (a little girl about 2 years old) in the Post Office Block, on the corner of Dearborn -and Monroe streets, east of the Post Office. Duriug Sun- day night Mr. Donovan had watched the burning of the main portion of the business centre of the city; had witnessed tht< burning of Pope's Block, Farwell Halt, Board of Trade, Court House, Sherman House, etc., having in his own mind concluded that the Post Office Block would not b u m . But in {he morning the fire had assumed such a shape that it at once became apparent that the block could not be saved. He then removed hia wife ana child to a place of safety on the comer of State and Monroe streets, while he returned to hisiroom to secure some papers. What followed win appear from the following letter from Mrs. Aekley, the last person, so far as it is known, who saw Mr. Donovan: WYOMING, JON-RS COUXTV, IOWA, > Nov. 19, 7871. i MRS, DONOVAK : Dear Metdam ; I regret that your letter was not received sooner. I sympathize with you, ami would be glad t© give you. something detlnite re. garding your husband if possible. All X can say is that, just before the building burned, I went up to my room, leaving my son Jesse on State street to watch my tnujks. In a few minutes a man came up and told me to leave the building immediately, saying, " Those old btables are all on fire." I supposed he meant those wooden buildings to the rear of the block, but looking out I saw no lire, and did not think he meant the buildings OMposite, on Monroe street. I then stepped bate your room, No. 29, seeing Mr. Donovan there, ami paid to hini, " that man is more scared than hurt," to which he replied, "that is just what J think—I don't see auy Are.* The man, speakiug as he did, using the word •' stables," Is what deceived Mr. Donovan, as well as myself. This is all the ©on- veisation I had with him. I cannot tell positively whether he had anything in hts hands or net— he was standing or walking in about the mid- dle of the room. I saw him no more. On going to my room, my boy come running to perfectly wild with fright, saying, T* Mother you will be burned alive here!" We ran down the Monroe street stair way; in the excitement I never thought to stop at your room and ought to have called to Mr. Donovan, but you know how it Is at such times. We ran to TUB TRIBUNE coiner, and found ourselves in a situation where suffocation Beemed inevitable. When we went on Monroe street it was black with. smoke. Jesse pays it was when he came up, and he says he did not See any one either in the buildtog nor in the street. I did not see any one. I did not think of anything but being burned alive. The fire was coming on us from the opposite side of Monroe street. I cannot tell whether our buildtog was then on Ire, but Jesse said: " W# cannot go to the trunks—we must go down Dear- born stieet." It was hot on the street. We kept on our.side of Monroe street ran around the corner, and down the east side of Dearborn street until we reached THE TRIBVJHE office. Jesse says he looked back when in range of McVlcker's Theatre, and l e says (but you must not rely too much on it) that he thinks that the Post Office Block was then on tire—at least, he savs, there was a fearful body of fire back of us. I cannot rsmember as well as he can. The only way of escape for us from THE TRIBUNE coiner was along Madison street to the Madison street bridge. This was a fearful journey—beyond description. All this dis- tance, of about seven blocks, had just been burned down, and the smoke and heat and wiud, and some- times the liames, were terrible. I saw no one but men, and their faces were as white as this paper. I do not give up easy, but if a gentleman, essaying the same way, had not helped me, I should never have got over the hot piles of brick burning my feet, and the hot coiled tel- egraph wires tripping me at every step. I lost every- thing but the clothes I wore. Mrs. Donovan, my heart ache* for vou! I presume this letter does not cou- tato one grain of anything satisfactory; if you do Uud your husband, please write to me the particulars. Wry truly, MRS. ACKLEY. Nothing further was known concerning the fatebf Mr. Donovan until Saturday, November 18, when the workmen in T H E TRIBUNE Building found the remains of two men. Their bodies lay under the pavement, on the north side of the building, and about thirty feet east of Dealrborn street. About five feet from the door which led into this "Newsboys' room," lay the body of Joseph P. Stubbs, a young man who nad recently come to the city, and who was associate editor of one of our daily papers at the time of his death; and . beyond him, the body of John E. Donovan. Both men were found with their heads to the east, their hair burned, features destroyed, and liaibs con- sumed. The broken pavement fell on those bodies, and the watch taken from Mr. Donovan's pocket was crushed, and stopped at 18 minutes to 10. LTnder this pavement then, these men had been driven for safety—where, doubtless, they were secure, until the expanding of the iron joists caused the north wall of T U B TRIBUNE Building to fall, crushing them instantly. Mr. Donovan was held in high esteem b y all who knew him, and leaves a large circle of friends to mourn his loss. He was a man of excellent judgment and sterling good sense. A friend in- forms us that he often heard him express his con- fidence that T H E TRIBUNE Building need- ed no insurance, because it could not be destroyed by fire. Driven to the corner of Dearborn and Madison streets as he must have been very soon after Mrs. Ackley's es- cape, in that awful moment he choose (and who would not, if they reasoned at all), the protec- tion of this building to the desperate chance through bu'nlng ruins for the distance of more than half a mile.

Thanksgiving Offerings. The Bight Bev. William Henry Odenheimer, Bishop of New Jersey, has addressed the follow- ing pastoral letter to the Clergy and Laity of his Diocese : " Beloved Brethren of the Clergy and Laity of the Diocese of New Jersey .-—The beauti- ful houses of prayer in which our brothers of the city of Chicago worshipped, have been burned, and they will keep the approaching Thanksgiving Day amid the ashes and desolation of their churches. Can w e not help the Rectors of these burned churches by sending them our of- ferings on Thanksgiving Day ! Unless you have pledged you» alms for other and worthier objects, I recommend that the collections to be made throughout the Diocese of New Jersey on the 30th day of November be devoted to the fraternal object of helping to rebuild the destroyed churches in Chicago ; and that the money bo sent to Mr. Henry Hayes, Newark, N. J., Treasurer of the Diocese, to be forwarded to the Right Rev. the Bishop of Illinois, who. in conjunction with the Rectors of the churches that have been burned, will faithfully apply it to the purpose designated. Affectionately your Bishop.'' l.ongmout. Last Wednesday the town of Longmont cele- brated its anniversary. Longmont it will be re- membered, is the Chicago of Colorado. The set- tlers there were all Chicago men originally, and to this m a y be attributed the wonderful growth of the littlej town. One year ago a meeting was held in Farwell Hall, for the purpose of starting an organized co-operative movement. Mr. O. H. Pratt was Secretary of the meeting and agent for the colony. About fifty persons started out at first. To-day there are are no less than 700. In March there were two habitations; to-day there are 200. The colony has now about twentv miles of Irrigating ditches, aud has in process of construction twenty miles more. Near- ly every colonist is the owner of a tract of land, varying from five to forty acres, and, in most eases, it is the intention to put the land into crons in the spring. Mr. Pratt, who is at No. 39 Canal street, states that even now, in the winter, he is receiving applications dally, and the prospects are that the opening of spring will witness a great rush to Longmont. The Press, of that c i t v - lt n i u s t b e a c i t y with a newspaper office already established—says: "The indications are that a*t least, one hundred families, friends of those here, will join the colony next season. We predict the colony will double its present inhabitants in 1872.

It seems she was preceded in the first named place by another Mrs. Cowell, and some little confusion has arisen in consequence, many people not knowing " who is who.1' We knew already that there are numerous lecturers on the Chicago fire, but it seenis that the number is now s o g r e a t a s t e l e a d f t o a djbuhiing-iip pabcete. We may add that M m AaatfCowell was oho Tof the" greatest sufferers by the fire, literally losing everything—including what was probably by far the finest theatrical wardrobe In the West, Pipe Laying. The inducements offered to the travelling pub - lit-, especially those of that now rapidly increas- ing class of millionaires red need to penury by the great fire, may be exempli tied by the follow- ing edifying fragment of conversation, heard at the depot at Ottawa, 111.; "Well, Tim, and what is it y o u are doin' here!"

The best audience of the season filled comforta- bly, but not to repletion, the Union Park Congre. gatienal Church last evening. The attraction was Mr. De Cordova, who has been duly published and advertised as belonging to the royal family of hu- morist*. The atmospheric conditions were agree- able, . A summer warmth reigned throughout the auditorium. But the prevailing color of the dresses w a s dark, and, under the soft gray fres- coing of the ceiling, and within the concen- tric , circles of cheerful woodwork, the asseinbly looked gloomy. Elegant young gentlemen, with pale, intellectual faces, white chokers, long-e ared collars, and studs of dead gold of barbaric richness, upon stainless linen, ushered the people to their seats, and bad- gered the harmless ladies and gentlemen who were suspected of being out of place until such unfortunates wished they had remained by the domestic fireside. Little parallelograms of paste- board, distributed on the cushions, contained a list Of the coming attractions, supplying the place of the perfumed programmes of the ante- conflagration era. The organ played charming classic music that sweetly suggested the Thomas concerts. What could be more appropriate than that the exquisite Traeumerei, whose sadness is too deep for tears, should be a part of the prelude to a humorous address ? The lecture commenced theoretically at quarter before 8, but in reality at quarter past, many persons coming in fashiouably and disagreeably late. At that i hour Mr. De Cordova appeared, and was in- troduced to the audience by the Secretary of the managers of the Constellation course of lectures. He came to the footlights and laid upon the desk his lecture, which was written upon what, among ~*-*«*v««»o, io iw luuuul ly known as sennou paper. Mr. De Cordova has a foreign air; W one would presume him not to be a for- eigner, because he alluded to public schools in a manner indicating that he had at some period enjoyed the benefit of those useful institutions. He was in full dress, barring a black waistcoat. His proportions were alderinanic. An elegant gold chain attached hia watch to a button-hole of his vest, from which a portion of his ckain hung as straight as a plumb line, having a eharm ot cunning device at the end. Our humorist is as bald as the prophet who w a s mocked at by tho hapless Israelitish children, bnt his remaining hairs were carefully economized, and discreetly arranged. A pair of Kqld eye-glasnea upon an aquiline nose completed a Imd ensemble whloh might be called distingue without wrench- ing too severely upon the convention- al proprieties. The lecture was a story, the scene of which was laid in "Womanhat- tan,T'f a " city of the sea," situated in the State of " Albania," in the county of " Uaia." Limited time and abbreviated space forbid that we should here attempt to elucidate for the benefit of the generafTeader the meaning of these deep- seated jests. The moral of the story was that " Honesty is not the best policy." Brown, who is so deeply to be pitied, has been taught the pro- verb in its old meaning, and therefore makes the grand mistake of his life, not being able to be se- duced by Tammany into any of its nefarious schemes. Poor Brown sticks to virtue like moss to a log, which is very sad. > K « >>pentu4 '' The «A®ki eiK who ii sailed In will to-in. •fayajH l" lions,, that I : HB nalio ., , ittt h.iid- m w 'fit,.' o@ei.ber I, i oheuka, if six inil- dy •• x.t u- Washlug- cent for •JO wai dempti< rei\e I l, to tin bavii j Mia were from 1 C'b-ariLK" •1K.7SO.000. ante weak and lower at the close, ow- faet that the government accepted i offers to sail U h , as they wese all to i>e above i>*r in gold.

The price of gold at noon was 111, and the government could nave selected bonda at that price and under from an'""g the proposals, but the Secretary took the price ofgold at a later hour as his standard. Stocks opened dull and steady, but became htrong on the news from Washington above re- ferred to, and was firm at the close, when the entiie list advanced %•% to 1 per cent from the lowest point of the day. The advance was most marked in Pittsburgh, Ohios, Northwestern, Bock Island, Wabash, and Western Union. The current of speculation on the Stock Exchange seems to have changed from bear to burl. Money, this morning, was active at 7 per cent, but the Washington news caused an easier feel- ing, the closing rate lieing S per cent. Southern bonds dull and firm, except new South Cfcxolina, which were weak. Merling, 109. Governments: Coups, 'Si J17 1-2 Coups, *! "11-4 ( oups, *64...

The completion of this firm's new building of 70 feet front, on West Washington street, at the end of the tunnel, and its connection with their flve-etory Canal street store, gives them as much room as they had previous to the fire, and their immediate proximity to the hotels and the South- ern, \V estern, and Northern railway depots gives them a decided advantage over their less fortu- nate competitors. A glance at their store, which was crowded with customers yesterday, sho wed their stock to be full and complete in every de- partment. • 1 • B e l i e f for t h e Chicago Sufferers.

Deunison Miller, of greenficld, o n l n d a v night, is the bokUwt «tut Jnost brutal deed of crime that has shocked the people of this vicinity since the WilMtts tragedy was enacted in this city. Mr. Miller was a well-to-do farmer residing al>out two miles beyond the second toll-gate gn tbglChicago road, and opposite Shatter's Si x-Mile House. lie resided in an ordinary two-story frame house, haviug four room's and a pantry below, and four sleeping-roomp above. The parlor occupied the northeast corner of the house, aud from it a door led into the stthng-room. The kitchen is in the southeast corner, and off it is tho pantry. Iu the southeast comer is the bed-room where Mr. Miller and his wife were sleeping ou the night of the tragedy, a room not more than eeven or eight fc#t square and opening into tho kitchen. On Friday night, Mr. Miller, his wife, and a young man named George Erwin, were sleeping in the house, the latter occupying one of the rooms up stairs. At about mid- night Mrs. Miller was awakened by some noise about the kitchen door, and, thinking the cut wanted to get out. she arose and went into the kitchen. She unbolted the door and opened it a little way, leaving an aperture through whicJi the cat went out. Before she could close it the door was pushed further back and a man entered, his face either covered with a black mask or black- ened to imitate a negro, probably the former. Mrs. Miller was terribly alarmed and scream- ed ou,t. The man told her to keep still and she would not be hurt. So far from doing so, she screamed again, aud by this time her husband was thoroughly awakenedandcaine outof the bedroom. The robber took no further notice of the woman, but pushed forward toward th« . husband and seems to have met him at the entrance to the sleeping-room. Miller caught him by the collar with both hands and deman- ded ithat he wanted. The robber answered threateningly. "I want your money." The wife called out that they had none, but the two men were already engaged in a struggle, and in a moment was heard what she knew to he the sound of stabbing, and her hus- band fell before her. Tho robber, new a murderer, wasted no further time in the hou-ie, but darted through the door and wa.de off. Young Erwin.by this time, had got down stairs, aud rushed out of doors in pursuit, but too late to be of ser- vice. The neighbors were, however, at once aroused, and every indication about the premisos wntch promised to give any clue as to ike direction it which the murderer had 5one was noted. On the threshold of the oor was found a little blood, and on the casing tho marks of bloody fingers, the mur- derer seeming to have taken hold there and swung himself around the corner. The cite wa« found open, and a few drops of blood were discovered upon and near it. Mrs. Miller had her hand slightly cut bv thtfknife of the assassin as he pulled it out of the body of her husband. On looking to him, as he lay upon the, ffoor, she found Eim quite dead from a terrific stab through the heart, extending into the back of the victim. His-heart had been.penetrated and he proba- bly died almost instantly on receiving the wound.
