Xew York, Nor. 20. 2b the Editor of The Chicago Tribune Sir: Chicago’s prosnect,what is it? When will the city be rebuilt How long will it take her people to recover from the fearful calamity that has overtaken them I Can they retain for their city her pro-eminence as the trade-centre of the West? Or, is the mantle of her greatness to fall upon a rival Since the great lire, such questions as these have doubtless often arisen In the minds of tliiukiug men. Have they been auswcredsatisfactorily f It is quite safe to say, Xo. Yet it would bo extremely- ditiicolt to find a man wbo has not settled the matter to Uis own entire satisfaction. Tho conclu sions arrived at arc as varied as the human character. To notice iu detail even a tew ot the prog nostications ot the wise men who have for ever lixed the destiny ot Chicago, would re quire more space than The Tribune can at present conveniently spare. Suffice it, there- fore, to say, that many believe she will never recover what she has lost. Others think she wuy rise from her «nshes. and once more resume the proud position she so lately occupied among tho great cities of tho world; but that it will take her a long time to do so,—probably longer than the present generation shall live. Another set. the very sanguine, who seem to imagine that great talk will create great cities, loudly predict that from two to three years only aro nec essary to rebuild the city on a scale of grandeur far surpassing the old one, Js«t cities arc not built, nor is wealth accu mulated in this way; and these arc not the men whose precept or example should bo fol lowed at tlris time. When the novelty of the present situation has worn off; when the real position of affairs is made known; when the full magnitude of the'difficulties to.be overcome has developed itself—it is to be greatly feared that these sanguine citizens and over-confident friends will forsake their posts. Thcmcn who will stand linn iu the day of trial, and perform their part of the great work, whether it be at Chicago or by assist ing lier merchants with credit and advice, are those who calmly survey and clearly comprehend the situation; who neither mag nify nor,underrate the work to bo done; who do not overrate the moral, physical, and pecuniary strength of the fellow-citizens; and who determine what may be done by what has been already accomplished. Chicagoans, arc not these things so? You don’t believe them now? Well, you trill by und by. It is a cold, heartless, seltish world, this,—the “magnificent charity” of which, unfortunately, 3*oll have been the recipient, to tbc contrary notwithstanding. There is an old proverb which says that “A burnt child dreads the lire.” You aro likely to experience the truth of this. Capi tal is slij' 01 groat risks, except at correspond ing rates. To satisfy the money-bags of Wall street that Chicago does not come un der this head, will require time and patience,- self-reliance, and perseverance. It is tho same with communities as with individuals When they appear not to want assistance, it is offered them without" stint; but in the hour of need, their friends, are gener- all short, trade is dull, or money is scarce and higli.aml they find it hard “scratch ing” on all sides to take care of themselves. There are exceptions to all rules it may bo your good fortune to prove the exception iu tills instance Wc hope so. Your record iu the past should stand 3-011 in good stead now, and it will, but not to tho extent you de serve and may expect. A little time will tell. As a -whole. Chicago's prospect is far from bright, at present, ami no good can come of glossing it over. It is best to lools at the situation os it is,—not as you would like to have it. But, however dark the clouds that how overhang the horizon, no one in his senses cannot doubt but that the city will bo rebuilt. To fix a time within which to do this is extreme folly. But, whether it takes one year or fifty, is only of comparative im portance. It is imperative that sue maintain, the position she has long and creditably oc cupied. And no one who understands the stuff her citizens arc made of, anticipates that she will surrender her place to a rival. That her citizens are plucky, intelligent, en ergetic. persevering, even to a fault, men everywhere are agreed. The rapid growth of their city, the irrnndcnrof their under; takings, and their liberal support of every’ enterprise, promising an increase of trade, or to beautify their surroundings, have Tong been household words—the wonder and ad miration of*lhc world. The men who did this still live: and the same tireless energy and public spirit can do over again the works of the past. No doubt the second effort will be much harder than the first. Few of the pioneers of Chi cago’s greatness knew what it was to possess wealth and the luxuries of life, but were working to acquire them. Their aim now is the same; but their former success will greatly embitter the struggle to reach the goal a second time, ilauy will doubtless lose heart, and abandon as impossible what in earlier times would have appeared easv to accomplish. It cannot bo denied that men rudely shaken from the topmost rung of the ladder of life rarely live to reach it again. But it is subiimo to try. Beware of mistakes. Do not act rashlj*. A wrong step now may involve you in years of toil and trouble. It might prove the foundation of a'wide-spread financial crisis, injurious to the whole country, but specially so to you: perhaps retard the development of your city by ten or twenty years. The situa tion is a trying ouc, such, in fact, ns never fell to the lot of any people before; and you must meet and overcome it with your pro verbial good sense, and brain, amt muscle. Then examine well your ground, submit every point to a clear, cool judgment, and know just what yon nvo going to do before you move. The row you nave to hoc is” harder than you yet realize. But your indomitable energy, aided by Spar tan economy in private and public expendi ture, and a unity of purpose and action on the part of all, cannot fad to insure a happy release from all your troubles. It is feared, however, that many of yon are attempting to cany a loadyou will find your selves nncrpial to. It is creditable to your morality, but a somewhat severe reduction upon your discernment to promise to pay iu full at a future day. Not a few of you have done this long before you could have made so tliorough'an examination of your' affairs as was necessary to an iutelligeutdccision as to the form of settlement you should have pro posed lo your creditors. This is a grave er ror, and one you may repent of when it is too late. Ascertain exactly where you stand, pay every dollar you can now; but'do not tux the future f«v obligations incurred previous to tlic lire, which you arc unable to pay in full at present. Rather than mortgage the future to the past, yon should, if necessary, suirendiTiall yon possess, and begin again as salesman nr cleric. An honest man need feel no shame in compromising, if his estate will pay no move than twenty-live, fifty, or sev enty-live cents. And his creditors would prefer fifty cents cash to a promise of a hun dred a year or eighteen months hence, lit’ Bueli a settlement, they lnow what thev lose, which they cannot do in the ease of a'prom ise redeemable at another time. Ami .once the old score if settled, they can and will sell you again to make up their loss. In doing this, they also enable von to recover yourselves. Bui no merchant, having regard to his own safety, and that of his creditors will sell to a customer who Ims au old ami large indebtedness hanging over him. It would he little short of madness to do so. Be wise, therefore, in time, livery dav's delay only complicates the situation and weakens the universal sympathy you at present enjoy. Lose no time, then, in clearing the old score, and ask indulgence, if yon need it, on the new. Oiler in money ell you are a ole to pay. and continue in business, relying, on the generosity of your creditors to ic leaso von. They will do so, and both yon and they will he benefited by it far more than if you paid dollar for dollar at a distant day. By and by, if prospered, you can show yourselves honest men by paying the balance of the old debt. It will be very much to your credit to do so, and immensely strengthen your position should you con tinue in hustm'Kv By taking the course suggested, you put Yonifselvrft m position to at oucc resume, and with fair prospects of sneeCss, Try the other tray, ami the chances arc ten to one against you. Thin attempting to do more tliau wo can H neither wise nor manly. It is tho rock on which vast numbers have made shipwreck. Avoid it ■while it is within your power to do bo. The capitalists and merchants of tho East, upon whom, in a measure, you aro de pendent, arc watching yon with critical eyes. Estaldish yourselves in their conli dence at the beginning, they will render you invaluableasH.stance. Appear to carry to> much sail, and they will steer for safer quar ters, Make all taut” cro you start, and your bark will gallantly ride through the storms and breakers ahead, and in duo time laud you in tho haven you lomr for,—the vac Chicago,—greater, better (having been puriHcd by lire), and more beautiful than its predecessor. AY. J. 13. A NIGHT OF TEEKOS. Narrative of the AikcntnrcN of Hon. Isaac N. Arnold nml Family on the Night of the Great Fire-Prl»rncM ou the PJer-I'«cai»c oa the Tug Clifford—Running the Gauntlet of Fire up the River. The night of October 8, and the 24 hours suc ceeding, are too deeply engraven in the memories of our citizens to need any particularly vivid de scription to recall their incidents. There arc probably numbers of persons whose fate was similar to that of Mr. I. N. Arnold, and the fol lowing tide of Ids adventures at that time will bo, in general, that of many others. As It is particu larly vivid and intensely tlirillingln consequence, it may serve to illustrate to the more fortunate what they were lucky enough to escape. Mr. Arnold's house was situated almost in the centre of a block, and surrounded by a garden which the owner believed afforded ample pro tection agalnstthc apx>roach of tbs iicry foe. Ac cordingly no attempt was made to save any of his valuables, but the efforts of his household, consisting of himself, thi co children, and the ser. vants, were directed toward protecting the house, in which they were for a time successful. The narrator says; “Dm iag all this time the lire fell in torrents; there was literally a rain •of fire. It caught in the dry leaves; it caught in the grass; in the barn; in the piazza; and ns often as it caught it was put out, before it got any headway. When the barn first caught, the horses and cows were re moved to the lawn. The fight was continued, and with success, until 3 o’clock in the morning. Every moment Hakes of lire falling, touching dry weed, with the high wind, would kindle into ablaze, and tho next instant would bo extin guished* The contest after 3 o’clock grew warm er and -more fierce, and those who fought the devouring element wore becoming exhausted. The contest had been going oa from half past 1 until alter 3, when young Arthur Arnold, a lad of thirteen, called to his father, The bam and nay are on firci’ ‘Tho loaves tire ou lire bn tho ease side,* said the gardener. ‘The front piazza la in a blaze,’ cried another, the front greenhouse is iu llames, and the roof on fire/ ‘The icaler has (•(owed I 7 was tho last appalling announcement. Now, for the first time,’ said Mr. A., I gave up hope of saving my home, and considered whether we could save any of the contents. My pictures, papers and books, can I save any of them!’ An effort was made to cut down some portraits, a landscape of Kensett, Otsego Lake, by Mig not—it "was too late J Seizing a bundle of papers, gathering tho chil dren and servants together, and,loading forth tho animals, they started. Luc where to got They were surrounded by firo on three aides; to the south, west and north raged tho llamas, mak ing a wall of lire and smoko from tho ground to thcEky; their only escape was east to tho lake shore. Leading the horses and cow, they went to the beach- Hero wore thousands of fugitives hemmed in, and imprisoned by tho raging ele ment. The eauils from the govern ment pier north to Lill’s pier, a distance of three-quarters of a mile, were covered with men, women, and children, some half clad, in every variety of dress, with the motley collec tion of things which they sought to save. Some had silver, some valuable papers, soma pictures, some old carpets, beds, etc. One little child had her doll tcnacrly pressed in her arms, an old woman a grunting pig. a fat woman had two large pillows, as portly as herself, which she liad apparently snatched from her bed when she loft. There was a singular mingling of the awful, tho ludicrous, and the pathetic.” Mrs. Arnold and her little daughter Alice had been sent away to the residence of Mrs. Scudder, and the party were accordingly separated, a cir cumstance which added to the anxiety of tho wanderers. After toiling along IV. B. Ogden’s pier, they hired a small row boat and were convoyed to tho i Light House, where they were cordially received i by the authorities, and other refugees who had I preceded them. Tho party remained prisoners i in tho Light House, and the pier on which it i stood for several hours. Tho shipping above in j the riverwas burning; the Immense gram oleva- I tors of the Illinois Central and Galena Railroads were a mass of Humes, and tho pier Itself, some distance un the river, was slowly burning tow ard the lighthouse. A largo propeller fastened to the dock a short distance up the river caught tire, and tho dsinger was that ns soon as the ropes by which it was fastened burned offlt would iiont down stream and Bet lire to the dock in the im mediate vicinity of the lighthouse. Several pro pellers moved down near the mouth of tho river and took on board several hundred fugitives and steamed out into tho lake. If the burning pro peller came down Itwouli set fire to tho pier, the lighthouse, and vast piles of lumber, which had os yet escaped in consequence of being directly on the shore and detached from the burning mas*, a firo company was or ganized of those on tho pier, and with water dipped iu palls from the river tho lire kept at bay, but all felt relieved when tho pro peller went to the bottom. The party were still prisoners on an angle of sand, and the fire running along the north shore of tho river. Tho river ana the lire prevented an escape to tho south, west, and north. Tho firo was still raging with un abated fury- Tho party wailed for hours, hoping the tiro would subside, Tho day wore on, noon passed, and l and 2 o’clock, aud still it seemed difficult, if not dangerous, to escape to tho north. Mr. Arnold, leaving,his children IntUo the lighthouse, went north toward Llll’s, and thought It was practicable to get through, but was not willing to expose tbo females to tho great discomfort and possible danger of the ex peilraent.” “Between 3 and 4 In tho afternoon the tug-boat Clifford came down the river aud tied up near the lighthouse. Could she return—taking tho party up tho river—through and beyond the firo io the West Side, or was it safer and better to re main at the light-house I If it-nud the pier, the lumber and shanties around should burn during the night, as seemed not unlikly, the position would not bo tenable, and might lie extremely perilous; besides, Mr. A, was extremely anxious to biojp that Mrs. A, and little Alice were safe. The officer of the tug said tho return passage was practicable. Bush, Clark, State and Wells street bridges had all burned and their fragments had fallen into the river. Tho great warehouses elevators, storehouses, docks on the bunks of tho river, were still burning, but the fury of the firo had exhausted itself. The party resolved to go through this narrow canal or river to the south bank, outside the burned district. This was the most dangerous cxx>eriencc of the day. Tho tug might take fire herself, the woodwo ;k of which had been blistered with heat as she came dawn the engine might get out of order and tho boat become unmanageable after she got Inside tho line of.lire, or she might get entangled in the floating timber and debris of the bridges. However, tho party determined to go. A full head of steam was gotten up, the hose was attached to the engine, so that If the boat or clothes caught U could be put out. The children and ladies were placed in the pilot house, and the windows shut, and the boat stalled. The men crouched clo-U* to tho deck behind the butt works, and with a full head of steam the. tug darted past tho abut ments of Hush street bridge; ns they passed the State street bridge the pilot had to pick his way carefully among falling and floating timber. Qlic extent of the danger was now obvious, but it i was too late to retreat. As the boat passed I Stale street the pump supplying cold water reaped to work, and tho exposed wood in some 1 parts was Mistering. ‘Snatching a handker chief,’says Mr. Arnold, I dipped it in water, and I coveiiuz the face and head of Arthur, whoso hat tho wind had blown away, I made him lie flat on th.j dcck.as wo plunged forward through tho fiery furnace.’ On wo sped past Chirk and Wells streets. ‘ls not the worst ovorT’ ho asked of the Capiaiu, ns the boat dashed on and ou. ‘We aro through, sir,’ answered tho Captain. ‘Wo arc safe.’ ‘Thank God I’came fromhearts and lips as the boat emerged from tbo smoko into the clear, cool air outside the fire lines.” Tho party went ashore at Lake street, and Mr. Arnold commenced a search for his wife aud child, who. he found hud gone to Evanston. It was not until the next night that tho whole family were reunited at the residence of Judge Drummond.
