Voters Of Perry County. The time is near ;it hand for us to i xc-rcise the highest duty of American itizens. Xo man who values good govern ment should neglect this duty. Thus far, victory has perched on the stand ardS of the Republican party every where, this fall. The one grand an iliem of triumph has rolled aeross the continent, and we have reason to be tsve it will prove a glorious prelude 4o the success which will crown our fforts in the presidential election of J m2. The Democratic party is routed, altered and disheartened. Ilencc, this county, as in other parts of the untry, our Democratic friends are Ring to forego their usual custom •■f putting a candidate in the field, in r hope of defeating the Republican ..i-uinees by so-called Independent .didates. The Democratic leaders mow that a united and aroused Re publican party in Perry county, cannot defeated. Hence, they will do all j h- heir power to stir up the old preju-1 dices and divisions which have dis tracted our party in this county the past two years. This lias been the effort of the Pinck ik‘ville Banner, and it fully accords wiili its “new departures.” We be in', o the Republicans of Perry county j and understand this just as well as Jo, but we desire to call their at tention to it, by way of remembrance, and urge every one to be at the polls j l wo weeks from next Tuesday, and J vote, to a man, for John L. Beveridge j lor Congr’essman-at-T.arge, J. Kim-' my, f i Assessor ami Treasurer, and ■i. A', fyler. for County Surveyor, avid ihiis demonstrate the fact that the Re publican party in this county is united —that they still adhere to the princi ples and usages of the great Republi can party,., The Legislature. An act for the relief of Chicago passed tiie lower House of oiir Legis lature >on Tuesday last, and it is more than •likely it lias passed the Sehate ere this. The following is the bill: 1,1 A bill for an act to relieve the lien of the city of Chicago upon the Illi nois and Afiphijyuii wtirt by refunding to said city the amount ■expended by it in making the improve ment contemplated by An act to pro vide for the completion of tire Illinois and Michigan canal, upon the plan adopted by the State in 1833,” approv ed February 16, 1865, together with the interest thereon, as authorized by section five of said act.” Discussion developed but slight op position, and the bill was referred to a select committee for slight amend- j incuts. This will secure for the relief of Chicago about three million of dollars. Chicago Business Prospects. It is said that the entire Lake front, from where the I. C. Depot stood, south, as far as Harrison Court, has been taken by parties who were hurried out, and who intend to go into busi ness at once. For this purpose per mits have been granted by the au thorities to parties to erect temporary buildings, one story high. The Cham ber of Commerce is to be re-built im mediately on the old site. Many new and subtantial buildings have already been constructed in various parts of the city and hundreds of temporary buildings are now being built. Chicago business is crippled but not crushed. It will rise from its ashes with increased vigor and energy. M'liat it needs now, is the continued eortdeuce and aid of its former ’riends and patrons. Let the busi ness-men of our once great and glori ’>us metropolis knoic and fetl that they will be sustained in this their hour of calamity, and all will be well. The eputation of Chicago business men is a tower of strength. In less than half a century, their indomitable energy and enterprise formed and built a city that was the pride of our nation, and the wonder of the world. To-day Chicago cannot boast of her ‘wautiful palaces, temples, depots, warehouses, avenues and residences; but their pluck and energy remain. Theseare already taking shape and giv ingsigns of renewed vigor and life. 'Nero win) destroyed Home by fire, l lasted that he found it“ built of brick e nd left it built of marble.’ So it will lie with Chicago, in a few years it will rise at»»\e its former greatness, wore substantial and enduring in ail its parts. Business may temporarily seek other channels, but to return again, with interest, when Chicago is herself once more. To Oi i: Readers.—For the first time since the great fire, we are to day able to send the Journal to all its subscribers throughout the country. We have issued for local circulation an extra"Journal every day this week, but it has been impossible until mow to resume our country circulation, We labor under the serious disadvant age of printing by hand, and it is slow work. We will have a new steam power press in operation in a few days, and then will resume our regular circulation, last our friends hear with us patiently. l or the information of those of our subscribers who have not received the Journal during this eventful week, we publish on one of our inside pages an account' of the great lire.—Ctii *''Uio Krruiuy Journal, Soturday H(li. The Chloag'O Journal. The enterprise of Chicago has f worthy representative in the Evening Journal, published by Chas. L. Wilson. The fire on Sunday night reduced tin office of the Journal to ashes. But th« enterprise of its proprietor was such, that by Monday evening he had col lected material and a press, by means of which, the Journal was issued, as usual on time, (only smaller in size) without missing a single number. We did not receive Monday and Tues day’s issues, but that of Wednesday r readied our office and created rejoic ing like that we might expect from the returning of a lost friend. The Chicago Evening Journal is ono of the best papers published in the West. We hope its circulation will be doubled this fall. We cordially recom mend our friends who desire a relia ble western newspaper, to subscribe for the Journal. Ku-Klux in Missouri. For some time past most diabolical and fiendish outrages have been com mitted in southeast Missouri, by or ganized bands of Ku-Klux. The Democratic press and many leaders of that party have denied the existence of such organizations in that State and when murders,' assassinations and whippings were committed, by the members of that lawless band, some sort of an excuse for, or a denial of their occurauce altogether, was the de fence set up by their apologists in the north. Honest Democrats do not ap prove or sanction the acts of these outlaws any more than Republicans. The couduct of the Democratic press throughout the country, has done more than all else combined, to foster and encourage these human fiends, in their organized form, to perpetrate the most diabolical crimes upon the inno cent and peaceable citizens. On the first page of this issue will be found an account of some of these outrages which have been abundantly proved by competent witnesses before the In vestigating Committee appointed by Congress. As to the existence of Ku Klux organizations in Missouri, it is now established beyond all doubt, as the following proclamation, issued by Gov. Brown, on the 10th inst., will show: Whereas, Information has been received that an organized band exists in the counties of Stoddard and Dun lin, threatening the law-abiding citi zens in their homes and property, and Intimidating or setting at defiance or dinary justice; and Whereas, A full investigation has been made under my authority by the Adjutant General, from which it ap pears that the local authorities of said counties have failed to preserve the peace, or to arrest tlioie guilty of such outrages, and require executive aid in enforcing the process of law. Now, therefore, I, B. Gratz Brown, Governor of the State of Missouri, and Commander-in-Chief of the militia thereof, by authority of the act of the General Assembly, approved March 21. 1SUS, and deeming that the proper enforcement, of the laws of the State require it, do hereby order an enroll ment of the militia in the said coun ties of Stoddard and Dunlin, and the arming and equiping of such portion of the same as may lie found requisite, uuder orders to be forthwith issued from the office of the Adjutant Gen eral; and, I now call upon all connected with such illegal organizations, who may threaten to take the law in their own hands, or who may undertake to in fringe the rights of person or property, to return to the condition of law-abid ing citizens. And I announce that the privileges of every citizen in both respects shall be maintained intact, and that the proper execution of the laws under the duly appointed officers of the country. State and national government shall be maintained by the whole power of the State. And I do further call upon the law abiding citizens of said counties to give now their hearty co-operation in securing the enforcement of the laws, and in bringing to justice all who have violated them, by the organization in their own midst of an effective militia force, who may be always prepared to give assistance to the action of the duly constituted authorities. In witness whereof I.hereto set my hand, and cause the great seal of the State of Missouri to [seal] be affixed. Done at the City of Jefferson this 10th day of Octo ber, a. d. 1871. B. Gratz Brown. By the Governor. Eugene F. Weigel, Secretary of State. Is it any wonder that the Democratic party should meet with such over whelming defeat everywhere, while their leading organs defend such out laws? Thousands of the best men in that party have voted with Republi cans at the elections this fall, because of the corruptions of their own party. Peterson’s Magazine for Novem ber -the cheapest and best of lady's books—is before us, and a magnificent number it is! “Baby’s Answer,” its principal steel plate, is a perfect beauty. Then comes its double-sized, colored, steel fashion-plate, and “Pe terson” is now the only magazine that gives these double-sized plates en graved on steel. Then there is a su perb slipper-pattern, printed in colors, itself alone worth the price of the number. The tales and noveletts, as always in “Peterson,” are all original and of thrilling interest. “The Mys tery of Bride’s Bayou,” in the present number, is a story such as we rarely see anywhere now-a-days. 1Vote is the time to get up dubs for 1872. The Pros pectus is just out. The price of Peter son is only two dollars a year to sin gle subscribers, while other magazines of its class are three or four. To clubs the' terms are lower still, viz: five copies for eight dollars, or eight copies for twelve dollars. Every per son getting up either of. these clubs will receive the Magazine for 1872 gratis, and also a splendid copy-right engraving <21 inches by 18), “Five Times One To-day!” We can speak from personal exiierience of the beauty and value of this engraving. Speci mens of the Magazine sent gratis if written for. Address, Charles J. Peterson, 300 Chestnut Street, Phil adelphia, Generous Response.. In speaking of the prompt relief for the sufferer at Caicago the Journal very truthfully says: Every city and town, and, wo may say, almost every corporation and in dividual throughout the entire nation, are doing what they are able for Chi cago’s relief. From everywhere, where Christian men and women live, come words of sympathy and contributions for the relief of thousands of our homeless people. All arriving trains on all the rail I roads are bringing in great car-loads of provisions, clothing, etc., and great trains are on their way from all over the country. In the midst of our great affliction and loss and suffering, the hearts of our people beat with joyful and grate ful thankfulness to our common hu manity all over the land, for their overwhelming manifestations of sym pathy and generosity. Our community will need all the help offered and given. There are many thousands ot men, women anu children who have neither home, nor money, nor prospects. With the win j ter approaching, these will need to be I fed and cared for weeks and months.” The prompt and liberal response of our city council and from the peo ple of Du Quoin are worthy of the highest commendation. Several car loads of cooked provisions, flour, ba con and other articles have been for warded from this station by Major Phillips to the care of Mr. Newell, President of the I. C. R. R. On Tues day morning, after the fire, we printed a large edition of circulars in this of fice, setting forth the condition of the sufferers in Chicago, and that all con tributions for their aid and comfort would be transported free by the I. C. R. R. Hundreds of these circulars were sent out and distributed at the various railroad stations on the Illi nois Central and B. S. I. R. R. in response to which, large contributions were immediately forwarded to this station from Belleville, Freeburg, New Athens, Coulterville and Pinckney ville, on the B. S. I. R. R., and these coupled with the generous of ferings from every town on the I. C. in Southern Illinois. Of course these offerings are but as a drop in the ocean, when compared to those of the large cities and from the nation at large, but like the widow's mite, it will not only contribute to the happiness of those who gave, but gladen the hearts and strengthen the hands of those who are almost crushed to the earth, with a calamity that is beyond the description or comprehension of the human mind. The Wisconsin Fires. Janesville, Wig.,. October 13.— Gov. Fairchild telegraphed the follow ing from Green Bay, in relation to the Wisconsin fires, to-night: The appaling calamity has not been exaggerated. Over 3,000 men, women and children are now destitute. The loss of life has been great—not lees than 500 persons have been burned at Pestigo and vicinity, and 800 on the eastern shore. Scores of men, women and little children are now in temporary hos pitals, burned and maimed, in want of money, clothing, bedding, boots, shoes, provisions of all kinds not cooked, also building materials and everything needed by a family to com mence life with. The people are responding nobly, but there is no danger of too much being received. The destitute must be provided for during the winter. Milwaukee, October 13.—Colonel C. D. Ilobinson, of the Green Bay Advocate, telegraphs Mayor Ludington as follows: Northern steamer just in. Doctor Nichols of your city, and other passengers, bring the terrible news that 470 dead bodies have been found at Pestigo and vicinity, and it is thought that the loss of life will reach 700. This is exclusive of the east shore, where the loss of life is fear ful. THE BURNING OF MANISTEE. Detroit, October 13.—Full particu lars of the burning of Manistee, on Sunday night, are received. About ten o’clock the fire engine gave out, after which the flames ravaged with out resistance the helpless town, the wind blowing a gale all night. The loss is estimated at nearly a million of dollars, on which there is but $80, 000 insurance. The sufferings of the people are be yond description, Manistee being so far beyond immediate communication that considerable time passed before their wants could be made known. The people of Grand Rapids and Grand Haven promptly supplied their immediate necessities, and Senator Terry and the Mayor of Grand Rapids have issuod an earnest appeal to the people of the whole State for aid. They say the latest news from Man istee more than confirms all previous reports of the sufferings there exist ing. The necessities of the people are imperative. They need immediately, flour, meat and clothing.- Direct -ail supplies to Senator Terry, Grand Ha ven. A good vessel will convey all contributions from Grand Haven to Manistee. The people of Detroit and other cities are nobly responding to the ap j peals made to their generosity. A car load of provisions leave here to-night fer Grand Haven. One goes from Lansing in the morning. Large quan tities of clothing, bedding and pro visions are forwarded by boats to Port Huron, Lexington and Port 1 Sanilac for the relief of hundreds of the destitute congregated at those nlaces. {T'The great Chicago fire consumed hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of elothing, but lias not in the least interfered with Joe Solomon’sex tensive trade in that line of goods. He is selling just ns cheap as ever. Joe has just received, and is now opening, at Ins store in this city, oneof the largest and best assorted stocks of gents’ fur nishing goods, clothing, hats and caps ever brought to this market. Every-! body is invited to call and examine I his new goods. lie is selling cheaper than ever. Ourdtreat Calamity. For the information of thoae thous ands of readers of The Journal to whom it has been impossible for us to send the paper since the overwhelming disaster whieli has overtaken The Journal office, in common with nearly all the business part of the city, we give the following brief statement: The great city of Chicago is vir tually in ruins! The entire business portion of the South Division, from Harrison street north to the main rjver_a distance of about two miles— and from the South Branch of the Chicago river east to Lake Michigan —a distance of about a half a mile in width—is now a general scene of des olation and ruin, as also is the North Division from the main liver north to Lincoln Park—a distance of three miles|in length and from the North Branch of the Chicagu River to Lake Michigan—a distance of about one j mile in width. The whole area burned over is not less than 2,300 acres, all of which was thickly covered with buildings. The South Division was literally pacxea wiui great, stone ana brick edifices, including all the banks, all the great hotels, all the newspaper offices, all the places of amusement, I all the public buildings, some of the i principal churches, and in fact the very heart and wealth and greatness of the city—all are now indistinguisit able heaps of rubbish. The North Division was filled with business houses,, many fine residences, many manufactories, many, fine j churches, the City Water Works, and about ten thousand smaller houses oc I eupied by shops and residences—all these are also n.rw in ruins. Not a more terrible calamity has ever overtaken any city in modern times. The number of buildings de stroyed will exceed 20,000. The amount of property destroyed $200,000,000. The number of miles in length of the scone of conflagration is about five, and its width ranges from a mile to half a mile. Not less than 2,500 acres have been completely burned over.’^It is believed that not less than 500 lives have been lost—perhaps many more, i The residents and 'occupants of buildings fled in terror from the rap idly sweeping ocean of flames. But few had time to save anything but their lives. Men, women and children in swarms, fled in terror before the conflagration, and never before on the face of God’s earth has such a specta cle of terror, agony, chaos and suffer ing been witnessed. Words are too weak to give the reader anything like a just idea of the horrible scene. The fire broke out in a stable on the corner of De Koven and Twelfth Sts., in which a woman was milking a cow, the animal kickiug over and breaking a kerosene lamp. From this small be ginning, the great city has been laid in ruins The fire begun at 9 o’clock on’ Sunday evening, October 8, and raged with unabated fury, until Tues day morning, .6etbber,l0. The flames spread from bouse !to house, from block to block, from street to street, witli a degree of rapidity that is in credible. It would seem as if a show er of lire from heaven had fallen on that part of the city—or as ifia hot. and fiery wind from the clouds had swept down upon us. The wind, which was very violent, was from the southwest, and of course the direction of the conflagration was northerly and northeasterly, and Was irresistible in its progress. Among the great buildings in ruins on the South side are the Postoflice and Custom House, the Court House, the Sherman House, the Tremout House, the. Briggs House, Colonel Wood’s Museum, McVieker’s Thea ter, the Tribune building, the great new Pacific Hotel, the great Opera House, the Drake Block, Terrace Bow, the great Illinois Central Union Depot, the Rock Island and Michigan South ern Railroad Depot, the Wells Street Northwestern Railroad Depot, four great grain elevators containing mib lions of bushels of grain, the great dry goods stores of John V. Farwell Co., and Field, Leiter Co.—in fact every great wholesale store in the city and all the large retail stores—all the produce and commission houses on South Water and adjoining streets —all the fine business and residence structures on Washington and Wa bash avenues as far south as Harri son street—the gas works the old Second Presbyterian Church (known as the “spotted church”) the Episco palian Trinity Church, the Second Presbyterian Church, the St. Paul’s (Univsrsalist) Church, the Evening Journal building—and so many others that the entire list would fill columns of this paper. On the North side among the principal buildings in ruins, are the City Water Works, a dozen fine churches, a thousand fine resi dences, two great grain elevators, the Northwestern Railway freight houses, the Revere House, and many other great buildings and instiH stitutions—not less than 10,000 build ings in alL As before stated the en tire number of buildings destroyed in^ the city is about 30,000. The whole country—nay, the whole world is alive to the extent of our great calamity, and contributions of money, food, clothing, etc., are coming in from all directions, in vast quanti ties—and our community is unspeak ably grateful to the country at large for its prompt efforts to relieve the wants and sufferings of 100,000 home less citizens.—Chicago Journal. Goixg.axd Coming.—While many of the unfortunate sufferers by the confla gration,having lost every thing,are leav ing the city in all directions for tem poraryor permanent residence els where, thousands of strangers from all over the country arc arriving by the trains, cither to offer their help, to look after friends or property, or as a matter of curiosity, to see the greatest ruins now to be found'on the face of the earth. Our streets are full of people, and the ruined districts are swarming with crowds' from day-dawn to night-fall.— Journal. OK7TLNG MARRIED.
