heard at a distan-o like the roaring of
the sea. Balls ot fire were ob
served to fall like meteors in dittoed t
parts of the town, igniting whatever
they touched. People rushed with
their children in their arms to a place
of safety, but the storm of fire was upon

smoke, burning sand and cinders, and
those that were not able to reach the
river were stiflo ated and roasted

i Sunday night, the bin of October,
already made famous by the Chicago
horror. A member of the relief com
mittee, sent froui Milwaukee with
enpniies, says the only survivors were
those who were fortunate enough to
reach water, many throwing them
selves into the milf-pond and clinging
to floating log. A number of these
were drowned by being thrown from

Menominee, October 9, 1871. The
village of Peshtigo is burnt to the
ground, and from 1000 to "Mm persons
are out of employment. The nre was
seen last night at half-past eight, and
at ten p. in., every building was on
fire, together with the great Peahtigo
manufacturing company's pail and
tub factory. The wind came from the
southwest, and was heard coming an
hour before it burst upon the town,
and many were awakened from sleep
with barely time to hasten to the
river and sink themselves in the wa
ter to save their lives. No ni trial
man could live in such a heat. The
flames rolled mountains high, and
swept every building, stable and
fence, and left a scene most horrible
to behold. Mr. J. J. Taur nearly
perished in saving his lam

flames, and. Mr. Beebe's family

child to tbe river. The whole town
ran for the river, hanging un to logs
and booms, and had frequently to
duck their heads to save their lives.

are separated by the fire-king, never
to meet again. Tbe people have been
righting for two weeks the sugar bush,
south and west of the town and then
the fire king moved on the town,
blowing great billows of flame. Tbe
flve-story factory of the Peshtigo
manufacturing company was lost,
with all the stock and machinery and
stores and warehouses, and the Pesh
tigo house, all the stores and property

I just heard of thedeath of ev nty-tive
itersons, who could get to no water,
and were strangled and burnt to
death. Horses, cattle and wagons,
rind all movable property, were burnt,
and many are on board this boat, the
8t. Joseph, with heads burnt, and
eyes burnt out, and ears ofi. Some
saved themselves by hiding in wells
and burying themselves in the sand,
and in onr case five women perished
by a log turning, when they all
sank to rise no more. Fires are raging
near this place, and one hundred or
more are fighting tbe flames oft,
and all men who can ar helping their
neighboring families and- many ca
dre families are burnt. The loss can
not be counted. At a small village,
eighteen miles fruua here, Burch
Creek, eighteen persons perished and
it is sickening to see the suuerers come
with eyes out and feurlully maimed
some of them 1 life. Many children
were lost wandering T- m their homes
to the river. The whole west coast is
on fire from Green Bay to Menominee.
The manufacturing company were
making from one to to three thousand
pails daily, and tbe whole farming
country and lumbering for miles
around Peshtigo are burned over.
The streets are hard as brick, and
some predict that it never will be re
built. We shall probably hear of
other and more dreadful losses. Other
towns are threatened Deperr, Fort
Howard and Wrightsto vn. Fires are
raging in and around them, and
God knows when all this will
end. One good rain would stop
all but tor weeks no rain has visited
this section. Alter a wime a more

agony and c n fusion. It was said, in
thirty minutes after the awful roaring
was heard from the woods, the whole
town was in flames, arid in Peshtigo
no lumber was to be found to make
coffins to bury tbe dead. One man
was passing the benzine house with
his family when it exploded, and his
whole family was lost except himself.

Detroit, October 14. Tbe news
which has been received to day eon
firms the previous reports as to the
wide spread desolation inflicted by
the fires in various parts of the state,
from Port Huron to Point Aux, Bor
eaes tbe shore is almost deserted, the
inhabitants being burned out and
obliged to tsa for their lives, saving
nothing. Particulars of the Manistee
and Ilariand conflagrations also give
a more disastrous aspect than the first
report. AU the energies of the peo
ple in the city are now directed to aid
ing the sufferers in out own state, and
contributions of money, provisions
jutd clothing are being made. The
Petroit Free Press company to-day
aeot to the community their check lor
five hundred dollars, and the
employes of the same office
have contribute d nearly one hundred
dollars more. Senator Chandler and
E. B. Ward each contributed one
thousand dollars. The employes of
the Tribune over one hundred dollars.
Tbe central relief committee sent a
pedal agent to Manistee with five
thousand dollars' worth of supplies
and one thousand dollars cash; also
n agent to Lake Huron with clothing
an J supplies. Tbe committee has es
tablished a central depot tor the re
ception 61 eJothing, provisions, etc.,
and are receiving liberal contribu
tions. A collection will be taken up in all
the churches to-morrow in aid of the
Michigan sufferers.
In most of the cities throughout the
State, relief committees have been
formed, and the good work Is being
carried on with energy.
An immense sum of ready money

beyond human control to stay the
conflagration. The damage at pres
ent is inestimable, but the largest part
of the town which is on the south
side, is destroyed, while so far twenty
seven buildings are totally gone on the
north side.
The loss, as near as I can learn,
amounts to one million three hundred
thousand dollars, with only about
one fifth insured.
The latest reports from the terrible
fires in Northern Wisconsin and
Michigan, represent tbe loss of life as
being fearful. Some seven to eight
hundred dead bodies had already
been recovered, and it is believed that
the number will reach fully one thou
sand, and the wounded fully two hun
dred. This comprises fully three
quarters ol the population.

Chicago, October 15 A furious
rale urevailed in this city last night;
it became aim st a hurricane by 12
o'clock, but subsided before morning,
it caused much alarm to the citizens.
and especially those residing in the
vicinity of tne late nre. rireoranas
were blown about in every direction
skeleton walls were prostrated in
quick succession, shaking buildings in
tbe vicinity from foundation to apex.
Much alarm prevailed, people rush
ing into the streets from their dwell

their houses would be prostrated and
thev buried!beneath the ruins. The
excitement and alarm was scarcely
less than on the night of tne great dis
aster. Fortunately it had rained for
twenty-fonr hours previous, and this
prevented any conflagration aa the re

The Sabbath has been recognized in
a marked manner in all the churches

Chicacjo. October 15. A meeting
of the officers of tho national banks of
Chicago was held at tho office of the
third national t ank, No. 437 Wabash
avenue, on Sunday evening, October
loth, at ux o'clock, for the purpose of
confe' Og with Mr. Hurlburt, comp
troller of tbe currency. J. Irwin
Pearce, president of the third national
bank, was called to the chair, and
Henry Greenbaum, of the German
national bank, was called for secre
tary. A full exchange of views touch
ing the condition of the Chicago
banks as (-fleeted by the late great
fire, was had, and it was
ascertained on a comparison of
liabilities and resources that all
the banks were perfectly sound and
could resume business at once. The
only delay asked by any of the banks
was tor sufficient time to convey their
safes from the ruins and io their new
places of business and to arrange their
books and office furniture.
After a general discn.-sion in which
the comptroller participated, on mo
tion of Mr. Blair, president of the first
national bank, the resolution hereto
fore passed to pay fifteen per cent, im
mediately was unanimously rescind
ed. Mr. Coalbaugh, president of tbe
Union national bank, offered the fol
lowing resolution which, after full dis
cussion, was also unanimously adopt
ed: Whereas, The books andvHumres
of all the uational banks ot the city,
the safety of which was to some ex
tent uncertain when the resolutions
of the 12 h lost, were adopted, have
been -ecovered intact and,
Whereas, A careful examination of
our assets since that time assures us
not only of our entire solvency, but of
our ability to carry on our business as
usual, without further delay, therefore,
Resolved, That we, the national
banks of this city, will open onr doors
at the temporary offices now occupied
by us, on tbe 17th instant, at ten
o'clock a.m.
7o (he l'ab'.ic Having ascertained,
from personal investigation, that the
national banks ol Chicago are solvent
institutions, and that, notwithstand
ing the late fire, they are able and
ready to pay all jii3t claims on presen
tation, I hereby announce that the na
tional banks ol Chicago will open their
doors for the transaction ot business,
as usual, on Tuesday, the 16th instant,
at ten a.m. and I hereby express my
belief in their ability to meet all their
legitimate engagem nts on demand.

merely with the name and neg

people be made happy or we take any
honorable stand among the nations.
We have deeply lamented this state
