Newspaper Page Textht Mtnwtwt FRIDAY. ..OCTOBER 20. 1871 THE CHICAGO HOEEOE. Many scenes and incidents connect ed with the Chicago fire must have been absolutely horrible. Dispatches to the San Francisco papers in regard ' to the conflagration were much fuller than those sent to the Portland dailies, and describe the scenes with a vivid JIC93 wuiuu oiiuuag vaitrto vuv vvf buuu- der with horror at the spectaclo pre h-UiaV AMnonA n ..V. i. .1 sented. The fire originated in m large planing mill, breaking out about mid night, and increased with such speed that nothing in the line of property "which lay in its course could be saved. The inmates of many houses were only startled from their slumbers in time to rush into the streets in their scanty night-robes, and even some were wholly unable to escape, and be came a prey to the devouring element. In several instances children, hastily wrapped in blankets and quilts to break the force of their fall,' were thrown from second-story windows to the ground. ' Mention is made of an heroic mother, who, after dropping her babe in Bafety to the ground, found herself surrounded by the flamesand unable to escape. Her re mains' were burned to cinders and were afterwards found among the charred and smoking ruins of her re cent home. Men, women and chil- dren, in attempting to save property or to rescue friends, were cut off from escape by the flames and either smoth ered with smoke or destroyed by fire. It is said that a vessel passing up the river through the burnt district, on bridge drawn while a hundred people "were crossing on it, and before it could be returned to its place this large mass of human beings were eu- veloped in flames and burned to death. "When the gas works were blown up the report could be heard for miles, and flying missiles were hurled through the air in every direction, sending burning brands among crowds of peo ple in the vicinity. Some idea of the magnitude of the ruin wrought may be gleaBed from the fact that more than two hundred blocks, including the very heart of the city, on which stood the hotels, banks, printing offices, insurance offices and Chamber of Commerce, reaching up north a distance of at least six miles, were swept away before the irresisti ble fury of . the raging , element. Panned by a high wind from the sooth, the red waves poured on, bear ing in their fiery current lofty and magnificent structures like the Pacific Ilotel, the Custom House and the Court House. So vivid was the blaze that the water-pipes and the Nicholson pavement on the principal streets were burned, and the heat was so in tense in the main part of the city that no one could remain near the Kccne ui wie Diacitenea ruins. The fire raged for nearly three days with the most merciless fury, and was at last extinguished by a heavy show er of rain, alter all attempts to quell it by human effort had failed. The scenes after the fire were even more distressing than during its progress, and absolutely beggars , description. Thdusands of people were almost frenzied by their losses, and acted and looked like maniacs many of them standing about, where the heat was not too great, gazing with lack-luster 'eyes on the ruins of their homes, while frequent agonized shrieks and groans might be heard to issue from the lips of the despairing and desti- iui; ciuwu. t uiueu wno oau never , known anything but luxury were in one short hour driven from their crumbling homes into the streets, crouching among the ruins, and shiv ering for the want of sufficient cover ing for their persons, and wondering where they were to find food and .shelter for the morrow. In some places where enough of the walls - were left standing to form a partial -.shelter, groups of women and chil dren .were huddled together for warmth the piteous wail of babes, mingling with the moaiuof helpless mothers.', -' It would require many, columns to give anything like a full account of the harrowing spectacles which are but they are such as must appeal to the strongest sympathies of the civil ized world, and will certainly result in a hearty response in the way of substantial aid to the many thousands of Bufterers.by this great calamity.. Whex men become such liars that they never speak the truth, they are not so dangerous after all, for everybody knows that they are continually lying under the visionary extravagance of their corrupt imagination. To. reply to such a chronic -.lar as the Baker City " tumble-bug," wqtild be to dig nify his lies and give his libelious ut terances character where they now have none ; hence we shall: permit i i v u n t,: i ii i mux w ueiciULcr iuu uio uau, epew forth bis harmless ana impotent ven om and revel in the filth, of his own exeremental alvine. -- ,. California. Our latest advices last eight from the California Judicial lecfkm indicate that the Republicans th&ve carried the State by a much .smaller majority than in September. Democrats claim the election of Judge Lake ju Sau Francisco. THE STATU FAHU . "We were present at the State Fair on Friday and Saturday of last week, and can hardly say that vo were deep ly impressed with cither its manage ment or the variety and amount qf articles on exhibition. The grounds and buildings Were in a better condi tion than we have ever seen them at that, place, but there seemed to be general dissatisfaction with the Mar shals and some of the other officials, and we heard considerable complaint at the manner in which premiums were5 awarded. In the pavilion the show was especially meagre being much inferior to that of last year. In the line of fine arts, mechanical con trivances, needle-work, etc, our Linn County Fair was scarce behind it. , . The "Floral Wing" of the Pavilion was the best filled of any department of the Fair," and, -With its rich and luscious fruits, and rare and lovely flowers,, it presented the appearance of a miniature Eden. In the equine and bovine - depart ments there was alike a scarcity of stock, and in the swine stalls the long line of empty pens was the prominent feature, while a few solitary sheep elsewhere looked as if they had been retired on half pay and overlooked by the Commissary sergeant. In fact there was a lamentable deficiency about tho entire Fair that would give the strang-er a very unfavorable im pression of Oregon enterprise. There is no excuse for this save in the mismanagement on the part of those who have the Fair under their superintendence. "We have wealthy stock:raisers and fine stock we have the best farming lands in the world we have enterprising and ingenious people, and a sufficient amount of ar ticles of almost every variety would be brought to the State exhibition, if the inducements were such as to war rant them in doing so, to compare favorably with much older common wealths. Let the managers of- the Fair hereafter cease to make foe lish, absurd and impracticable rules for the government of those who seek adrais- sionat their gates; let them select a I careful, judicious and discreet Chief Marshal, and distribute their premi ums with a tendency to encourage the exhibition of that which is useful and beneficial, rather than to thrust for ward those features which are least calculated to result in the prosperity and advancement of our State and the development of its unbounded re sources ; and then they may expect to render satisfaction to the public and a general benefit to the State at large. - the mE maro. The great fire at Chicago absorbed so much of the world's attention that the fact was for a time overlooked that even more extensive and destruc tive conflagrations were transpiring in the more isolated portions of the Great Northwest. From Minnesota, Michigan and Northern Wisconsin the news is appalling. : In Wisconsin over fifteen hundred human lives have been sacrificed to the Fire Fiend, and hundreds of miles of country along the line of the conflagration have been completely scorched op and depopu lated. Corn. Lay, cereals, live stock, etc., have met the same fate and have become a prey to the devouring ele ment, while thousands of people have become fleeing refugees from their obliterated homes and are utterly des titute, with a long, cold, cheerless winter already staring them in the face and chilling their unclad limbs with its frigid breath. The Chicago people are already partially supplied with necessaries for winter, but hun dreds of the sufferers by these North ern fires are so far removed from the habitations of plenty that they will never be reached by the hand of char ity, and will doubtless be forced to succumb to the , merciless winds of winter and the pinching pangs of hun ger before spring shall again return. These distressing events call for the exercise of the most unlimited charity on the part of those W'hom Provi dence has blessed with an abundance of this world's goods. Li ' A jtegro bandit, named Lowry, at the . head of an organized band of black oulaws has established a reign of terror in North Carolina. For three months past this black despara do has been robbing, murderiug, and burning in two or - three counties, without opposition, save an occasion al temporary organization, of the terror-stricken populace. The Govern ment has plenty troops In North Car olina, but they are engaged in hunt ing down imaginary--Ku-KIux,' and have , no time to spend in looking after such little Regularities as citi zen Lowry is guilty of. Frightening negroes by means of streaks of phos phorus, or a white sheet wrapped about the body, is a crime to be pun ished by imprisonment, but murder and arson, if committed by black out laws, are mere trifles. . "The Memphis Avalanclie speaks of 'rare Ben. Butler," JDuring the war Ben's favorite lay was the rear," but since hedefeated himself for Governor he seems to be on the rear." ' He rears np behind and kicks up before. ; ' The predicament in which General Butler's father now finds himself is entirely owing to a 6ort of confidence game of which he was the victim. lie was roped in, . HASTY CONCLUSIONS. 'The, Radical jress throughout the State are endeavoring to make politi cal capital out of the fact that 'Joseph Wells, who killed Dennis, near i Ash land, Jackson comity, was a Demo cratic member of the last Legislature. As Jackson is a strong Democratio county, they would promulgate the idea that Democratio officials are guilty of tho crime of allowing him to run off on a bail of $3,000. The truth of the matter is that Wells was brought before Atmon V. Gillctt, the bell-wether of the radical party in the precinct of Ashland, which always goes Republican by a vote of nearly two to one. Gillctt, after hearing all the evidence of the case, decided to admit him to bail, and as soon as his bonds were filed Wells left for parts unknown. Our Republican cotempo raries should be more careful in future and tell both sides of the story. In this connection we desire to men tion the course of the two Jackson ville papers in regard to this affair. The Sentinel tool Time iiave both ex ceeded the province of impartial jour nals in alluding to this case, so much so that they may have been said to have tried and convted Joe Wells even before he has been caught. In this they have shown bad judgment, for if he should be taken, it would now be almost impossible to find a jury in the county ot Jackson to try him. As the editors of each of those papers claim to be lawyers we suggest that they refrain from convertinjr newspa pers into judicial tribunals for the fu ture. ' " THE LATE ELECTIONS. ' The elections which enme off in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa, last week, are simply a repetition of our late California disaster, which disaster is a natural consequence of cowardly platforms and policy candidates. Pennsylvania gives 12.000 Radical majority, Ohio gives 20,000 and Iowa gives the Lord only knows how much ! They have all three "gone where tho woodbine twineth," and the Democratic candidates who expected to catch Black Republican votes with BlacI: Republican angle worms have taken new departure for Salt River. Democrats can and mtgltt to win upon a platform which enunciates' Democratic pri.iciples, and by putting forth candidates who talk pure and nndcfiled Democracy ; and the sooner they conclude to do that the sooner will we regain our recent losses ; but when we endorse tbe ; mot infamous and corrupt measures .of the Radical party we ought to be jlaxed out on every battle field. .Whsn we pro claim ourselves champions of tliat which we know to le wrong, we then cease to be honest, and no party should be permitted to gain power by trickery, deception and fraud. From the Salem Statesman we lr-Arn that the Indian Convocation in t bat city last Friday was attended by j 00 Indians. "One of the Indian spet k ers was Joe Hutchins, of Alsea, wh o told bow he saw the first missonariet arrive. They were poor when they firet arrived, hadn't horses and came in a canoe. He was glad to see tbem and treated them well, gave tbem something to eat, and felt sorry for them. He went on to say that he didn't understand how it was that they all grew rich and he grew poor, and he proposed to learn tbe way it was done and begin at this late day to practice the same things that made the white man prosper. Joe Hutch ins gave the audience to understand that this site of Salem was bis origi nal home, the property of his ' tribe. His recital of early incidents and bis impressions concerning civilized life were interesting. There were sever al other Indian speakers, but they were hardly as eloquent as Hutchins. , Charles Kandle, of Wasco county, was last week accidentally killed by a "spring gun" which was set in . the window of a neighbor's house. He went to the house while the occupant was gone, and attempted to enter the house by the window for the pur pose of getting some of his own prop erty, when the gun went off, lodging its contents m his abdomen and kill ing him almost instantly. He was a respectable citizen and leaves a young wife to mourn the great calamity which robbedhejr of his compJkion sbip and protection.' The above from the tfbuntaineer., , ". Ben. Holladay was refused admis sion to the Stae Fair because he de clined to wear his bodge on the front of his coat. ( For this insult His Du cal Highness now threatens to tear down the depot at the Fair grounds, turn the railroad in another direction, divert the channel of the Willamette away from Salem : and remove the capital of the State to Junction City.

Prairie and wood fires are raging along the ralway between New Al bany and Lafayette, Indiana, which have swept away miles upon miles of fences, gram and not a few houses, barns and cow pens. Towns along the north end of the road have beeu compelled to turn out. all the inhabi tants to fight the fire. News from St. Clair and Huron counties in Ohio is of the most dis tressing character. AH that portion of tbe State east of Saginaw and north to a point 40 miles above Port Huron have been completely swept by fire. A number of lives have been loat Tbe villages of Forestville, White Rock, South Beach and Huron City are entirely destroyed. Rock Falls and Fort itope are partially burned. Nothing has yet been beard from Port Auntin or Port Crescent, but it is hardly possible that they have escaped. Bandar. October 1 5. The Mayor of Chicago has issued a strong appeal to the county at large in behalf of the sufferers and desti tute. A romor prevails, and is by some believed, that Henry Uhlman, the banker, was murdered instead of be ing suffocated by the fire.

The people of Manitoba are generally ex cited, and every able-bodied man is under arms. Monday, October 16. It rained in Chicago yesterday, which was a grateful relief to its stricken inhabitants. A dispatch from that vicinity says that the eighty dead bodies lying in the Morgue, the two long columns of names of missing in this morning's papers, the churches and school houses crowded with half clothed women and children, are ter rible reminders of the great calamity whose whole horror no words can de scribe; The bodies in the Morgue were mostly found on the north side, and it is certain they were only a small portion of the number caught in the flames and consumed. The vault of the Custom House was opened to day. It contained one million in gold and two millions in greenbacks. The gold was melted into an almost solid mass and in the shape of bullion. The greenbacks were entirely con sumed. .They belonged to the gov ernment and no loss is incurred. Tuesday, October 17. Nearly 100,000 people are living in tents. " : j't't . ": : ; Many insurance companies are "gone up." "V ' ' ' '.' Chicago w'as visited by a fnrious gale last night. It earned much alarm to the citizens; especially to those residing in the vicinity of the late fire. Fire brands were blown about in every direction. . Skeleton walls were prostrated in quick suc cession, shaking buildings in the vi cinity from loundatiou to ape,x.- Much alarm prevailed, the f people rushing into the street from their dwellings in many instances, . fearful that their houses would be prostrated and they buried beneath their ruins. No material damage .was sustained. . Later accounts r from: -Northern Wisconsin confirm previous reports. The loss of life in the . neighborhood of the village of Peshtego, will reach over 1,200. The fire was heard at a distance like the roaring of the sea. Balls of fire wTere soon observed to fall like meteors in different parts of the ' town, igniting whatever1 tney touched- ; People rushed with their children in arms for a place of safety, but the storm of fire was upon them and enveloped them in flames; smoke and cinders, and those that were not able to reach the river were suffocat ed and. roasted alive. This tcrible scene happened on Sunday night, the 8th, the same night of the , Chicago horror. The town of Peshtego num bered two thousand souls, one third of whom nerished. Reports from the east shore of Ureen Kay place the loss or uto luuy as high as at Peshtego. The account states that the immediate wants of the people are supplied, but that large amounts of provisions and clothing will be required for the coming win ter. The Governor of Wisconsin ap peals for aid. Wednesday, October 18. Chicago is fast rebuilding. There were just about 100 people burned to death in Chicago.
