A fire in a bam on the West Side was the insignifi cant cause of a conflagration which hat swept out of existence hundreds of millions of property, lias reduced to poverty thousand* who, the dx, before, were in a state of opulence, ha* coveted the prairies, now swept by the cold southwest wind, with thousands of homeless unfortunates, which ha* »tripped 3,600 acres of buildings, which ha* destroyed public improvement* that it ha* taken year* of patient labor to build up, and which ha* set bade for*- years the. progress of the city, diminished her population, and crushed her resources. Butto a blow, no matter-.-.HoW tetri- We, Chicago will not iuecumß. Tsate a* it 1* in the season,‘general, as the ruin is, the spirit, of her citiieus has not given way, and before the smoke has cleared away, and the ruins are cold, they are beginning to plan for the future.

So much confusion prevails, and people are so widely scattered, that we are unable for a day to give absolutely ac curate information concerning them. We have, however, given a full ac count of the fire, from me time of its beginning, reserving- for a future day a detailed statement of losses. AVfc would be exceedingly obliged if nil persons having any knowledge of ac cidents, or the names of persons who died during the fire, would report them at this office. We also hope that all will leave with, or at No. 15 South Canal street, a memorandum of their losses and their insurance, giving the names of the companies. THE WEST SIDE. AIICSO a aDjall cow-barn attached to a hoiirv on Lhe corner of DtsKovvn and Jeflersou streets, one block north of Twefth *trout, emitted a bright light, followed by a blaze, and in u moment the building was hopelessly on ftre. Before any aid could be extended the fire had communicated to u number of adjoining sheds, barn* and dwellings, and was rapidly earned north and east, despite tho eflorta of the firemen. The fire suenied to leap over the engines, and commenced far beyond them.and, working to the east and west, either surrounded the apparatus or couponed it to move away. Jn levs than ten minntes the fire embraced the area between Jefferson and Clinton lor two block* north, aud rapidly pushed eastward to Canal When the fire first eutrulphed thu two blocks, and ibu effort* of the undaunted engineer* became palpably ahoriive to quench a single building, an i-ifort was made to head it off from the north, but ao great wna tbe area that it already covered at llh3o o'clock, and *o rapidly did it march forward, that by the lime the engines were at work the flame* weie ahead of them, and again they moved ou north. From the west side of Jefferson street, a* far a* the eye could roach, in an eiustcrJy direction—and that apace was bounded by the river—a perfect sea of leaping flames cover ed the ground. The wind increased in fldreonesa as the flames rose. and Ike dame* wailed more hungrily for their prey a* the angry guel* Impelled them onward. Successively the wooden building* on Tay.or, Korquer. Ewing, aud Polk street* be came the northern boundary, and then fell back to tbc r»:com! place. Meanwhile, the people in the mote bomhuru localities bent all their energies to the recovery of such property iu» they could. With ample time to niovo all that was movable, and with a forebod- ing .of viut was coming. in their neighborhood. HI lon6t, they were oot and In safety long before the daraea reached their dwelling*. They wuro nearly all poor people, tho savings of whoso lifetime wore represented in tho lifcle mas* of furniture which blocked the streets, and ini- prded the firemen. Thuv were principally labor ort, jmost of them Germane or Scandinavians. Though the gaunt phantom ot starvation and homelessness, for the night. at leant, pasted over them, it waa singular to observe the cheerfulness,- not to say merriment, that prevailed. Though mother* hugged their little one* to their brunets and shivered with alarm, yot, strange to *ar* they talked freely and laughed a* it rcalizlug the utter uselessness of expressing more dolefully their consciousnevi of ram. There wero many owners of the bal.dingß who gave themselves up to the consolation of insurance. But even that appeared to weaken a* the flames spread, and they gate themselves up to their fate. Many of tho vic tims wore stowed away in the houses on tho west side of Jefferson streef, while those on Clinton. cau*hl between two lire-, had rushod away, losing all bat their live* ami little one*. How many of thes* latter onus were abandoned, cither from ter ror or in the confusion, it i* Impossible to guess, but every sow and then a woman wild with grief would run lu and out amoug the alleys and cry aloud bar loss.

Where It seemed impossible lor a man to stand without suffocation they carried their huie. •priakling thu houses opposite and endeav oring to atop Its spread lu a westerly direction. But it was evldvut by miduight that hu man ingenuity could not stem that fiery lido. At the same time, at* burdened wore the minds of thu citizens with the conflagration that the question of where it would end never entered their minds.

Thu light from lh« burning remnants of these eighteen acres of ruins illummrd the heavens on Sunday evening. Precisely nt half-past yo’cfock the lire bslls sounded an a’larm, ana a fresh light, distinct from the other only to those living west of the tire, sprung np. The wind at the time, as It bad been for the preceding forty-eight hours, was strong from ihe southwest. This Are commenced on DeKovt-Ji street, at the corner of Jctlerson. and one block north of Twelfth street. The wind carried this Are straight before It, through ihp block to the next block, and ao on northward, until U reached Van Bureu street, whgjv U slrucfc the south line of the district burnt tlu; night before.

While the flame* were nearing the South Branch, at Harrlton street, a« wull mi sweeping northward toward the burnt district of Saturday night, and before any communication of fire had been haaxlwL across to the east sidu of the river, a blazlhguiea senger-stileil on the wing* of the hurricane, over leaping a distanceoffully a quarter 9? a mile, end lodged agalm-1 the dry clipboards of a three-storr tenement bouse. situated near the.#** work*, abotn midway between Adam* and Monroe, and Well* and Market streets. The momentary contact of the fire-brand with the ride of the building was sufficient to inaugurate-"the frightful carnival of destruction. The dry riding took tire ilk* a liuifcrmatch. and before there was time to turn around the -uliru structure was unvelojied in flame. At (hi* time the neighborhood known as Conley's Patch,” and lh« most squalid, pov erty-stricken, crime-stained jwflion of Chicago— contained hut few people awake or close at hand, the gtcater part botug absent at the scene of the fire across the river, while the women and children were In bed and asleep. A cry of horror and alarm was at once raised, but not soon ‘■nongh, it is almost certain, to enable the sleeping inhab itants to save themselves. The frightened wretches came crowding out of the blazing tene ment, but, sooner than we can wnte It, all oscapo from the lower part wa* ent dff.'and there Is every rent-on to-oppose that from dvy to ten human be ings iieilshed In the flames ni this TKiiut. HI GUT AND LEFT the flro sproad, tnivelling among the dry tene ments, thickly distributed, at a rate of speed fester than a man could walk. Within sir;y second* the space of one block hail been traversed, and the south Hue of Mourou street was reached for nearly the entire distance between Wells and Market streets. A lurid mass of flames was hflriod bodily across Monroe street toward the nonh. lapping up the stable!* of John V. Harwell Jc Vo., run the American Merchants* Union Kxnress Comp. \y before more than bnlfa dozen of tno hundred odd magnificent burses could be rescued, the remain der of the noble nod valuable animals lie lug ait nor burned or sit (located within two minutes. ACROSS WELLS STREET. Bv this time the fire hud crowed to the oast sido of Welle street, and was rapidly working eastward, swooping everytidng In it* eourve. it 1* impossible to usiliualc the number of live* loot iu tht* local ity, the area of which wna wholly covered with wooden frame structures. all of them crowded to the utmost with poor )>eople. In the terror uud confusion which prevailed hundred* of women, with their brood* uf children, were seen wandering about in a state of hopeless bewilderment, many of them doomed, beyond ft doubt, to Ik: overtaken ami surrounded and lost in thu wilderness of flame. NORTHWARD AND EASTWARD the flaim-s progressed, crossing Madison street.and extending east to LaSalle street ut thu same time, Stone, brick, or wooden structures tell alike, and with almost the same degree of rapidity, and It SM now' become apparent (hat tho outlre hu*iue*R iHirtlou, to the lake shore, hid doomed. No one could doubt this a* bckiu a* u fresh display of light further south annouucod thu fearful fact that the Weal Hide fire had LEAPED THE RIVER. At about a quarter to I o'clock thu regular chain of lire from west to east was establUbro. the junc tion beiugeffecled across the river at or near Van P.uren street bridge, wheto (lie rows of Wooden buildings »n Market street, and the remaining portion of Conley's Patch south of Adams street, formed a rapid route for the progress of tho devas tating element. What the first Are ou tho South Side had left behind the second one look up, and, working eastward even more rapidly than the other had dune, so (hat by 1 o’clock it also bad reached LaSalle street. A coalition wus effected between the twu department* of flame at about this lime, and there the awful work went ou more furlouslv than ever. faster than it could bk traced, or. at least, faster than, from any position «if obser vation. the looker-on could accurately note the preoc buildings which were overtaken In their order, the Haines now raged toward the river and the lake. The finest of Chicago's business Archi tecture—and thl* the marvel of nil America—was included In the ravages of the fire. At 4 o'clock iu the morning (bn line of flame and ruin in the South Division extended from above Har rison street northward to the main branch of the river, a distance of about one mile. To the eastward It bad reached Dearborn street, having included the Michigan Southern Depot, the mammoth Ogdeu Jluttsc. covering an entire block of ground; the new and unoccupied Bigelow llottht!, both uf JJonore Blocks.

Thankful and r«>**t in flaumuble to l>o allowed to stand. The proi«r method of stopping wa* here adopted, and the principal actor in the contest was thereafter a red capped chan in n square-box wagoo in which were also placed several hundred jhiuiuls of j>owdcr. The wooden building, on the northeast corner of State and Harrison street?, was first to go, and was laid flat by two charges of powder. Next to thif on ibe cast was n thrcc-i-lory double brick which met tbe haute fate kh lie neighbor, and in a moment onlj the front walte remuitu d. The cflVct of this wah aceu lu n moment, and the lire was effectually checked, at lc«»l as far a* the liitrh rr aching dangerous flames were concerned. Be tween the brick bouse, last mentioned, and the church, which occupied the comer of Waba»h, was a small frame building, which was an extremely dangerous cuKtomcr. and partook of the came treatment whlph cured the next bonus but not until after it had hi far been enveloped in flames as to sonon-Iy endanger the church. This hut building wan In reality THE HOPE OF THE FIHEMKN. ami it moo 1 Ita'grouud nobly. It was commonly called the Wabuidi Avenue Methodist Church, and’ \v«n one of the oldest churrhe** in the city, having been dedicated in 1857. The blowing up of the building ou the \ve»t proved Hie salvation of that end. and the church resisted the attach from that ride. On the north ride of the church was the real danger, ihougn, fortunately, there war a vacant lot between the nearest hoiw and the church. The heavy, honestly-built walls of the latter and the In tervcuing distance so far protected It that nothing took lire except the ornamental lower on the northeast comer.

SCENE FROMTHETiUBUNE fU’ILDfNO. Tbe eight from the window* of THE TRIBUNE Building was one tbe like of which few have ever I acta. At fifteen minutes lu i o'clock tbe vtgw was like this: To the southwest ruse a cloud of black smoke, which, colored with the lurid glare of the I flames which caused It, presented a remarkable picture. Due west another column of smoke and i fire ms*, while the north was lighted with the fly* ing cinders aud destructive brands, in leu win-, ut«*s more the whole horizon to the west, a* for] a» could be seen from the windows, was a fiery cloud, with flumes leaping irjralong the whole Hue, Just showing their heads ami subulding from view i Uku tongue* of snakes. Fiv* minute*-more wrougut a change. Peal after jkuil whs sounded from the Court lloqm bell. The lire wo* on LaSalle street, hud swept north, sud the Clumber of Com merce began to belch forth stroke and flame from j windows and ventilators. The east wing of the Court House was alight; then the west wing, the tower wus blazing on i the South Side, ami at S o’clor!: tb'. whole build* ing was in a sheet-of flame. Tne Chamber of Com merco burned with a bright steady flame. The smoke In front grew denser for a minute or two, and then, bursting into a blaze from Monroe to Madison sheets, proclaimed that Farwell Hall and the building* north and south of it were on fire. At iu minute* pnst i o'clock the Court Housu lower wa* h glorious sight. It stood a glowing, al most dazzling trellis-work, around which was wrapped s sheet—a winding sheet—of flame. At a quarter past two, the tower fell, and In two tum ulus more a crash announced the fall of the build ing. The window* of the office were hot, and the flames gave a light almost dazzling in Its Intensity. It became evident that the whole block frpm Clark to Dearborn and from Monroe to Madison must go; that the block from Madison to Wash ington must follow; Pmlland Block ablaze, while everything from Llark to Dearborn op Wash ington street wa* uu fire. At t*:3o the Are.was half way down Madison street; the wind blew a'hurri cane the flro-brand* worehurled alongthc ground with incredible force against everything that Blood In their way. Then the flames shut up in the rear of Reynold'* Block, and then THE TRIBUNE Building seemed doomed. Au effort was nude to *sve the flies, and other valuables, which were moved Into the combing room, but the building stood like a rock, lashed on two side* b>* raging waves of iUnie, and ll wa* abandoned. It wa* a fire-proof building, aud them w ere not a few who expected to see It stand the shock. The greatest j>osalblo anxiety was felt for it, u* it wo* the key to the whole block, including Me* Vicker’s Theatre, and protecting Stare atreer, and Waliash and Michigan avenues north of .Mudlron street. When tho wail* of Reynolds' Block fell.and Cobb's Building waa no mom, the prospect* ofjts standing were good, Several persons wont tip stairs and louud it cool aud pleasant.—quite a’ refreshing haven from the hurricane of smoke, dust, and elu de:* that assailed the eye*. Meanwhile tbe fire had *wcpt along northward and eastward. The Briggs House, me Sherman House, the Tremunt Uoiue, had fallen in a few minute*. The bridge* from Well* to Rush street* were burning; the Northwestern Depot was in a blaze, and ftom Tan Bureustreet on the south. far over into the North Side, from ll»o’river to Dear tyorn street, the whole country wa* h mass of I smoke, flame and ruin. It seemed an If the city east of Dearborn street and to the river would bC navud. The hope was strengthened wboti the wall* i fell of Uunorv's noble block, without Igniting that standing opposite. Tuo vacant lot to the south seemed to protect it,.nnd at 7 o'clock on Monday morning the whole of the reitfou designated was considered saved, no Are being visible except a smouldering firo in the barber** shop under THE TRlßUNEufllcu, which, being confined to brick walls, wa* not considered dangeruns. Every ofl’nrt wa* made to quench it, but tbe Water Work-* had gone up.and the absence of water, while It an nounced how far north tho flames had reached, forbade airy hope* of quenching tho fire below. SCENES ON WAIt.VHU AVUM E. The scene presented on Wabash avenue on Mon* d»y, fora period extending from *4 o'clock a. m. lilt lute in the day, was a most extraordinary out*, calling to miud moat vividly ihe retreat of* touted army.

Men dragging wagons wore green vails over their faces to protect their eyes from the blinding dust. Drunken men staggered among the crowds, ap parently,possessed of tho idea that the whole »f --lair was a grand municipal sprue. In which they were taking part as U duty that should be discharged by all good cltlxeus. Trucks passed up the streets, loaded with trunk*, on which sat la dies in costly garb, and with diamonds In their ear* and on their fingers. But one «ay before they would have scorned the idea of riding in anything less imposing than a luxurious laudau or coape; but their pride was levelled in the inesencu of the universal Imminent danger, nud they were thor oughly glad to get the humblest cart iu which to place 'themselves and their valuables. Tho great portion of the )tenplc knew not whither they were going. All they knew was that the horrible dre was Iwlitud them, and they muat move on.

So little Idea bad the jwoplu living near Iho Historical Society Building on Ontario street, txi tween Dearborn and Clark, o! the terrible and utter ruin which the tire would work, hot snatching tip what valuable* they could, they sought rhelier in its cellar, which was tin* fortuuately tilled to a great extern, with in flammable material. According to the state ment of the Übrarlan of the Historical So ciety, William Corknin, who waa there at the time, the following uer.vms certainly bought refuge there.

At that time mere did not seem to be any symptoms of the in the roof. Then, going downstairs again Into tho lectnre and pamphlet room, he saw the flame* rushing up stairs, and made his exit as hurriedly as possible. Nothing was saved from the building, not even the Emanci pation Proclamation,-and it is now au titter aud hopeless wreck. AT CHICAGO AVENUE.

In the midst of all the blank wonder with which the people of Chicago—noted as they are for energy and hopefulness—were forced to stand and gaze at the havoc which the elements wore making with their properly; In the midst, oven, of the sorrow that the calamity was bringing to every hearth, one might often hear this apparently frivolous utterance: “Well, Chicago has always been bent on boating the world la everything—the has done t again now. She has bad the most destructive fire ever known. 1 Tills Is unquestionably troc. The Are which devastated Chicago on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday Is unquestionably the greatest fire’and the greatest disaster, so lar us projwrty is concerned, that is known to history. The principal conflagrations which have happened In America, after that of New York (noted below), are those of Charleston, S, C., in 1838. which de stroyed 1.158 buildings, and extended over 145 acre’s; those ol Quebec, in May and June, 2845, which, together, destroyed k.BOO buildings and manv lives; that of Charleston, S C., lu 1645, which laid nearly the whole city in ruins; and that of Portland, Me., in the following year, whichi al most toTa'.ly destroyed that beautiful city. The damage in that case amounted, howcver.totcarcaly more than one-tenth ot that which Chicago has now suffered. The gn-al Loudon fire, which we often hear re ferred to o» the typo of destructive conflagration?. raj;ed four day* and nights (viz, from Sept. 4to 7, 1666), burnt over-130 acres and uestroyedflve-slxthH ofall the city within walls. But the Loudon of that day was a town ot only 200,000 Inhabitants, and having beenalrendy devastated by the terrible plague of 1605, had doubtless been abandoned by mane of Us wealthy inhabitant*. .The value nf buildings, moreover, Iti.those days was exceeding ly small when.compap*d to our times. About seventy-five year* ago the principal portion of Charleston, .S. C., was. destroyed by fire and large .numbers ofltspeople rained. Compared to the great Are ofNew kork, in 1635. it was larger in ox ten:. though probably not destroying so much property. Other historical fires aru thOfO of Mos cow, destroyed by mililary orders; of Canton, China, about thirty year* ago, when more than t mile square of the most densely populated portion of ibe city was destroyed, and of Veddo recently, about which little is known. The great lire of New York. occurred on the 10th of Decamber, 1835, and destroyed CIS stores, and many other buildings. In the best built quarter of the city, but the total amount of dam age was estimated at $18,000,000, against the $125,- u/i.iXXJ (some set it higher) which (be devouring element has (matched an ay from ub in Chicago. .Mat London was rebuilt in four years, and New York, though also scourged terribly by cholera hi 1832 and 1834, arid visited in 1837 by the financial crash of that year, increased her population more than 50 per cent daring the decade of 1830-40. So Chicago, aided by tbe sympathy and already ten dered assistance of her friends in other parts of the country, Joined to the indomitable and elastic en ergy of her own jwople, will be bnilded again, sol emnly yet determinedly, upon the still smoldering ashes of her late glory, ana become known an the Phcenlx City—an appellation to which her some what obsolete one of Uatdou City will readily give place.

The greatest thing in their' favor is that thev have no mercantile paper. The banks have taken temporary offices, mainly at two points, viz.: Burlington Hall, on State street, and on West Randolph street, near Jefl'er- The records of deeds were burned up in the Court House, hut the in dexes were saved, and the abstract firms, Shortall Hoard and Chase Brothers, have saved their abstract books complete. TO LOCAL COMMITTEES. Trains arc arriving almost every hour laden with provisions, under charge of committees from neighbor ing cities. There should be sub-com mittees of our local relief organiza tion totficct them, and direct the dis position of their supplies. Otherwise they will go roaming around in vain in search of the proper authorities, as the Cincinnati committee did last night. We understand that all the rail roads take passengers free out of the city to the neighboring towns and country. The more who avail them selves of this opportunity to get away for a period the better. The wpi'U of feeding and otherwise caring for. the destitute multitude is necessarily immense, and anv relief that may come hv a removal of any portion to other localities, where they can re ceive attention, will he very great.. The scarcity of work, as well of provisions, make it very desirable that the unemployed should seek work elsewhere, and they should he urged to avail themselves of the liberality of the railroad companies.
