The sireeis were fuil of men who wooked and actea like maniacs, and of af- Mghted, (rantic-stricken Waltung women.

They now rushed franucaily from house to house and from group to group, some imploring aid vo save household goods, and others raising au ago- nized cry for lost brother, sister, parent or child. The air was filed with faggois, fying like fire bal- loons on awful errands. Au opaque cloud of cinders and sinoke ciosed down on and en- veloped the affrighted fugitives, blinding and almost suifocating those who lingered to fight the fire. Indeed, fighting the fire apparently ceased; not @ stream of water was visibie in front of the crimson wall: men lost hope and energy, the wind blew a hurricane, the air was lurid and there seemed to be abroad a vague superstition that all the tnfernal forces had conspired against Chicago and that resistance would but madaen these nether wers and make their vengeance more complete. Does some trace of Voodooism still linger in the human mind to break out aud assert its domina- into almost a solid mass, but is sate in the shape of bullion; the greenbacks were entirely consamed. THE ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE, An informal joint convention of the lilinols Legis- lature assembled this afternoon at Standard Hall ie this citv. Lieutenaat Governor Dougherty pre- sided, and Mr. John A. Logan, on behalf of the | committee appointed at a meeting of citizens, pre- sented areportfrom that committee. It suggests that tbe len held on the Jilinots and Michigan Canal for three mulitons by the city of Chicago should be assumed by the State, as provided for in the Internal Lmprovement act, passed at the recent session of the Legislature, and that the amount be paid Lo the city at once; that the State should at once provide for the SUPPORT OF THE VARIOUS CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS now sustainea by the city and county, including the County Insane Hospital, &c. The report was dis- cussed by General Logan, who spoke eloquently, S. 3. Hayes, Wi liam B. Ogden, Senator tuiler, Samuel W. Fuller, Rev. William A. Bartlett and others, und then referred to the joint convention for their con- ecerens at Springfield. It was also suggested ry STATE TAXES FOR 1871 BE REMITTED, and that a new assessment, in accoraance with the present condition of atfairs, be made. THE BOARD OF TRADE | to-day passed a resolution that ali outstandtur con- tracts be setiled on the average prices of Saturday, October 7. ‘The stockholders of the first National Bank voted DEEDS BETTER THAN SPEECHES, WHAT THE MASSES ARE DOING, No Abatement in the Work of Col- lecting Money and ‘The labor of charity still continues, and the result 1s that New York is the banner city of the world in responding to the appeals from the sufferers at Chicago.

The atmosphere, too has been so dry and hot that Dreathing was diMiquit and the PARCHED LIPS AN) UEOODSHOT BYES of every one compelied wo be out of doors attested the furnace-like heat. The apprehensions felt by waterless inhabitants of the Unburnt portion of the city tn regard to further conflagration have been greatly allayed by these timely showers. ‘The beavens are still overcast, and it is to be hoped that we shall lave still more abundant rain, and tuat it may be widely extended.
