WHAT THE KAIMtHAM AHE DOIMi. It is. however, no exaggeration to Bay that the sal¬ vation of Chicago dopeuds on the railroads, and these vant corporations have not for an instant seemed Insensible to the duty that rested on them, although suttering heat fly. Every line in the coun¬ try, so far as heard from, have aided by free trans¬ portation, and actual donations of money, in «u-coriug the people to rebuild the city. With every facility taxed to the utmost, ti.«* gigantic concerns are now actually «building their depots, and replacing aTI that has ten destroyed. The great Union Depot will be up attain in very little time, and the other depots are in thebandtof the contractors already. It is a com¬ ment on tbe marvelous good management of these Institutions that, during the seven days of anarchy, terror.ttddestruction, not a life has been lout, not apackaft- uusased, and scarcely a tram belah d.

Routs went up spasmodically under the impulse of the business hegira, but they will very shortly bo readjusted, when the great wooden warehouses now going up are finished. Still, for a long time to come, the basement« of the handsome private resi¬ dence« on Wabash and Michigan-aves. must be seed for banks and other business of a like nature, and the rents of private dwellings must con¬ tinue high in consequence; hut there will be ao opportunity for "corners" in real estate, as several over-gullible Wall-st. sharpers intimated. There have been several cases where Bhrewd men have bought up leases, and rented buildings at 500 per cent advance. Onc|man, while his foundery was disappearing in smoke and ashes, bethought himself of a tumble-down edifice ou Canal-st., straightway .e* »red it at a rental of $1,200, and now rents it in rooms and ofhees at $12,000, and has still a room in tt for himself. Sales of real estate are substantially the same as before the tire, and that indicates pretty well the disposition of the business men. The scarcity of help aftectstthe grain market some¬ what.

Every sqnare foot is apportioned offto sons building, and wongal edi¬ fices have slut up like magie, on tho hitherto neglected waste. As early as Wednesday the ground had been staked oil, sigim copioindy posted about, and all the preparation of a great cam¬ paign begun. Two advantages aro gained by this apparently unmeaning selection. First, there is abundant water near at hand, and it will he months before the pipes can tie brought to work in the hunted dish ¡ote. Second, the erection of these temporary buildings does not cumber the grounds which must eventually he prepared for the rebuild¬ ing of the city. Furthermore, this is the home of "JOO.OOO of the population, and this is where tiny must be accommodated for tho present.

Oct. It!..There has Wen wonderful ac¬ tivity in the Sonth Division of the burned district to-day. Thousands of men have been at work clear¬ ing away the ruins and putting up temporary build¬ ings, &c. Every laboring mau willing to work can lind plenty to do at liberal wages. The action of the banks yesterday, in unanimously resolving to open for business to-morrow, and to pay at once, if called for, every dollar due their depositors, and the promptness of the insurance companion in settling their losses, have inspired renewed contidenee. Tho reports of the loss of life are greatly exag¬ gerated. The number of dead hollies already dis- overed ia less ihan 125. A largo number of person! supposed to ho lost are alive and well. The Board of Trade has not yet decided upon the future location of its building. The Rush Medical College resumed its usual connie iu the City Hos¬ pital to-day. The Secretary of the Treasury has reconsidered his recent order instructing Collectors if Costens to cease forwarding goods in bund to Chicago, as a tem¬ porary Cufttom-Honac has been established here, and nu rchandise in bond can now be shipped to this port A» heretofore. Col. Eastman, Postmaster, announces that the Money Order Department of the Chicago Post-Offlcfl is fa operation, and ready to pay all ordere promptly. Postmasters making deposita should remit National Ihink drafts on New-York, or send Currency by registered let tors. The l'ost-Ollice safes were reached to-d:iy, and their contents found badly scorched; $.3,500 in money -was recovered, and about $80.000 worth of postage stamps were in a condition to W returned for exchange, although not tit to be nsed.

THE CRADLE AXD THE GRAVE OF THE FIRE. [KBOM THE SPECIAL CORRKl-POXDEKT OF TUB TH1BU.NK.] Chicago, Oct. 14..Man is the only animal who wastes his time in effort« to find out how things Wgan lor the mere pleasure of knowing. We aro not satisfied with our pleasures until wo have poisoned them with that flavor ot realism. We pur¬ sue our Burgundy until we have hunted it down to the vats where it spirts under the broad feet of the peasant« of Beaune. And we are eqnally unwise in dwelling on the source of our troubles, instead of 1.mking forward to the end of them, and then for¬ getting thom wholly. The Nile is better worth see¬ ing at Karnak and Cairo than at Nj an/a. Tho Mis¬ sissippi is a far more enjoyable stream at Spunky Point or Alton than at Itasca'Laka. Yet good men, sensible in the main, waste their lives in tracking them to those savage thickets, where nature haa hidden away their cradles safe from the tread of the world. Ißeethe folly of all this pla'nly enough, hut the human nature in me will not let me follow my own precept. I have here before me six miles, more or less, of the finest conflagration ever seen. I have smoking ruins and ruins which bave broken them¬ selves of smoking; churches as romantic in their dilapidation as Melrose by moonlight; mountains of brick and mortar and forests of springing chimneys; but I turned from them all this morning to hunt for the spot where the fire started. It is the greatest and most brilliant apparition of the nineteenth cen¬ tury'.more reckless than Fisk, more remorseless than Bismarck. Some details of its early Lie might not be without edification. There may be lessons in it« cradle and its grave. These were the thoughts that justified mo in going to Dekoven-st., though the real reason was that I was curious to see tho first footprint of the monster who had trampled a great city out of existence in a day. Nothing could W more ignoble and commonplace than this quarter of Chicago. I reached it by cross¬ ing over the long drawbridge at T\velfth-«t., which waa swinging gracefully on its pivot as I came. Tho etTeets were all filled with wagons loaded down with furuitnre, which exposed to the gaze of the loungers the broken life of the family. The air of the quarter was wholly foreign and not quite reputable. Even the little Church of St. Wenzel added to the Bo¬ hemian air of the district. German volunteers were guarding the relief stores from hungry Czechs, who would make irregular forays on the provisions Both sides thought their dignity required they should speak English instead of their native tongue. " Keep your fingers von dem pretzels off, or you 11 git a het on you." " Yee ! I bet you got a heap o' style, don't it." These colloquies sometimes give us moments of conjecture as to the final doom of our language. I found Dekoven-st. at last, a mean lit¬ tle street of shabby wooden houses, with dirty door- yards and unpainted fence« falling to decay. It bad no look of Chicago about it. Take it up bodily and drop it out on the prairie and its name might be Lickakillet Station as well as anything else. The street was nnpaved and Uttered with old boxea and mildewed papers, and a dozen absurd geese wandered about with rustic fsmilisrity. Slatternly women lounged st the gates and bare-legged children kept up an evidently traditional warfare of skirmishing with the geese. On the sonth side of the street not a house was touched. On the north only one re¬ mained. All the rest were simply sabes. There were no piles of ruin here. The wooden hovels left no landmarks except here and there a stunted chim¬ ney too squat to fall. The grade had been raised in places and left untouched in others, so that now, as in the North Diviaion, the rosda seemed like via¬ ducts, and acorchea and blackened trees seemed growing out of sodded cellars. But of all the miser¬ able plain stretching out before me to the burning coal-heaps in the northern distance, I was only in¬ terested in the narrow block between Dekoven and Taylor-ats., now quite flat snd cool, with small gutter-boys marching through the lots, some kicking with bare feet in the light sabes for suspected snd sporadic coals, and others prudently mounted on stilts, which sunk from tims to time in the spongy soil and caused the young scrobsts to descend igno- minioualy and pull them out. This was the Moco» of my pilgrimage, for here the fire began. One squalid little hovel alone remained intact in all that rmmt «pune. A warped and weather-beaten shanty of two rooms, perched m thia alka, with tia pistol nailed half way down them like dirty pantalets. There was BO shiibhier hut in Chicago nor iu Tipperary. But it stood there safe, while a city hail perished before it and around it. It wa« prcnerv.d by its own de¬ structive significance. It wa« made naen d by tbe curse that rested on it.a curse more deadly than that which darkened the lintel« of the house of Thycstes. For out of that hoiwe, last Sunday night, came a womah with a lamp to the barn behind the house, to milk the cow with the crumpled temper, that kicked tbe lamp, that spilled the kerosene, that fired the straw, that burned Chicago. And there to this hour ¦tanda that craven little house, holding on tightly to its miscrablo existence. I Storni on the sidewalk opposite, as iaduty bonntl, calling up the appropriate emotions. A strange, wrinkled face on a dwarfish body carne up and said, " That's a dhreadful sight." 1 aNsented, nnd he con¬ tinued in a melancholy croon; "Forty year I've lived here.and there wasn't a brick houso but wau, and that wai tho Lakeside House, and it's gone now ; nn' av yell helavo mo, Boor, I nivor see a fire loiko that." I believed him thoroughly, and he wont away. My emotions not being satisfactory from a front view of the shanty, I went around to the rear, and there found the Man of the House sitting with two of his friends. His wife, Our Lady of the Lamp.freighted with heavier disaster than that which Psycho carried to the hed-eiJe of Eros.sat at the window, knitting. I approached the Man of tho House and gave him good-day. He glanced up with sleepy, furtivo oyes. I asked him what ho knew about the origin of the fire. He glanced at his friends and said, civilly, he knew very little; ho wa« wakoi up about 9 o'clock by tho alarm, nnd fought from that time to save his house; at every sentence he furnell to his friends and said, " I can prove it bv them," to which they nodded assent. He seemed fearful that all Chicago was coming down upon bim for piompt and integral payment of that ÇJOO.WM 1,000 his cow had kicked over. His neighbors say this story is an invention dating from the second »lay of the fire. There wai something unutterably grotesque in this ultimate atom feeling » sense of reapousibility for a catastrophe so stupendous, nnd striving hy a fiction, which must have heavily taxed his highest powers of imagination, to escape a reckon¬ ing he was already free from, l.iko ti n fellow-t the midge ami the nil, Tlirumcti niiuutciii-hi», lo Wit. Huving seen the beginning of the fire we thought it worth while to track it through it« rise and its grandeur to it« magnificent end after a gloriousihiy's life. There i« a very singular caprice of tha fin in the North Division, equally remarkable with that in De- kovon-st. The house of Mr. Mahlon Ogden, a largo frame building standing very near the street, is en¬ tirely untouched, while the entire region around it is laid hare. Even the church across the street, which stands entirely detached, is destroyed. The escape of the Ogden mansion is as complete and as mysterious as if it had worn an invisible coat of as¬ besto«. Tho fire wai no less singular in what it at¬ tacked than in what it spared. Just beyond this houso, which would seem with its dry seasoned pine a most appetizing morsel for the fire-devil, there lie« a green and tranquil grave-yard, with nothing in it which could attract a well-regulated fire. But this fiery tempest has swept in among these graves and tombstones, has sought out with an apparent disregard of conducting material, the humble wooden headboards, and has even gnawed the marble in many place«. Tho last expiring efforts of the flames were in the quiet German cemetery at the gate of Lincoln Park, by the shining beach of the Lake. It is here that hundreds of the hunted fugitives of the North Division, hotly cha«e<l by the fire, came to pass that first miserable night of hunger and cold. Loads of household goods were brought here, and dashed carelessly upon the ground. As the hard night wore on, and the cold wind came blowing In fiom the " unsalted sea," chilling the blood after the fever of the day, theso unhappy people began to break up and burn the furniture they had saved, and brought so far with labor and pain. Everywhere you may seo the traces of that wretched vigil of heart-breaking desperation. At oye poinf there is a pilo of half-burned picture- frames profusely gilded and elaborately carved, and at another there lie the scattered fragment« of » richly-inlaid cabinet. A library-chair has it« back burned away and it« upholstery wrinkle<l{and singed with the watch-fire. lint there are other and more revolting evidences of tho misery which on that night gave many over into infernal guidance. I passed one modest grave, near the seono of a night- camp. A heart was carved npon the wooden tomb¬ stone by pious hands, and into this touching emblem a steel fork had been driven by someS brutal fist. Above the outraged blazon were the tender words, Jiuhe Sauft ("Sleep .Softly"). The scenes witnessed in that quiet graveyard dur¬ ing that night of horror wero enough to appall the stoutest temperament«. A throng of half-maddened sufferers straggled through tho grove looking for their friend« and finding no one, oppressed by a weight of anxiety that caused them to neglect their physical discomforts. Delicate women came a« they hRd escaped from death in thin fluttering night clothes blown about by the surly Autumn wind. Several were in a state which demanded the gentlest care and sympathy. Many little children wore thrown into the crowd too young to speak their parente' name«. And upon all, the crushing blow of an enormous and irremediable disaster had fallen and rendered them for the moment incapable of any rational judgment I heard of one company of German singers from » low concert sa¬ loon, who flew out into the night with nothing but their tawdry evening dresses, who sat shivering and silent in a huddled group in the lee of a tomb-stone, their bare arms and shoulders blue and pinched, and the tinsel flowers in theirbair.shining with frost They talked little, but sometimes they cheated their mie- eiy with songs, »nd it had a strange effect to hear in that gloomy and sorrow-stricken place the soft impu¬ rities of the Vienna muse, and the ringing and joyous jodelof the Tyrol. Near by the fragments of a Methodist congregation had improvised a prayer- meeting, and the sound of psalms and supplication went up mingled with that worldly music to the deep and tolerant heavens The fire could get no hold on the green wood of Lincoln Park and so gave it up, and went furiously off to the left and ate np all the pretty suburban houses on that side, and ended only when the wide prairie lay before it with nothing more to burn. At the corner of Willow and Orchard-sts., the noble out¬ line of the Newberry Behool bounds the line of de¬ vastation as if to ssy that the future hope of Chicago, the power that shall yet rise superior to calamity, is Intelligence.

[Faon a BFBCiAL ooaaESPOSDiirr of tbs tsibcsb.] Chicago, Oct. l8..I have Just made a per- soaal Inspection of the condition of Worth Chicago. I en¬ tered by the northernmost of the bridges on the north branch, to order to see first what was left On my way to this bridge I cams upon a young man, in the open lot sitting on the ground by the aide of a box of bread. In- Qulrtog if he had gone into business u a baker, I found that be had been to aoms freight oars near by to procure soma sapplies, that hit box contained meat and apple», aa well as bread, and that he wa« resting on account of feebleness produced by exposure after the terribie ex¬ haustion of Mondar.

But a «harp change occurred about midnight ; rain came, with violent and Tcry chilly wlnd-t, under whick even the robust suffered severely. Thtise who had some cov¬ ering found the« wind too much for them, and many lacked even the chance to shield their wearied bodle« from the blast mid their little ones from the, chill un- frlendllne»« of the dropping »kies.

In a church some blocks away, quite» on tho north weat verge of pi.j.iiIhM.m, I found other examples of (differing. The flret to greet me wan a blight and brave German fellow, also a dry goods clerk, who had rescued lils wife and five children, and had saved plenty of good clothing aud hotiHchold stuff enough for tolerublo comfort, only I lint he had no money and no chance of riecnrlitg a house. He took little thought for himself, however, but showed me a family of ten.eight »mall children.the father and mother worker« with the sewing-machine. They had owned a hou>e and lot worth tt.ooo or I'.itjo, with a debt of 1700. The half-weekly payments for making up cloth¬ ing had been their lis lug. When the fire caine the two Hlnger »ewing-ma» hines were «avod by burying them in tim garern behind the house. Tues¬ day morulnir, on going to inspect, tue man found ghouls JiiHt ready to make off with thera. One- of these saved appearances for the moment by offering to carry them to ¡'.io owner'» place of refuge, bilton reaching this demanded fin, and took one of the 185 machines In lieu of ¡ia) meut. I am happy to nay that two of «-lui M.m-,, bavoucts are after that fellow, and that we have stern law fur the»»»-extortions if tho perpetrators are caught. But by far the »addest case here waa that of a beautiful and r» lined woman, known, I understand, In art and operatic circles, whose husband Is missing, und who c»«<.ipcil hcr-iiit In on'y anight wrapper; w.w drlven to distraction by the terrors of tho wild flight, aud was pi» ke»l up in Lincoln Park In a state of more than half Insanity. In the direst need of care from her own hoi, ready to die, alinont, from extreme exhaustion, and wandering In mind most of the time, she ha«l had laut night only the nursing and help which two men could give, end now lay on u pallet upon the church floor, directly behind the rear pew on one side. A young woman cared for her during tho day, but at night female ii.iagiuatloiileutpaitl.il insanity too great t»rrors, and care which should have fallen to womanly »ympathy devolved on th" rude though kind and skilled bauds of men. The mun wfcOM bravo and clear head ..»te. hlin h!»'f chargi- had had experience In a hoipltal; but It was pitiful that womanly protection should not be at hand, and thal tho couch of such a sufferer should not bo tenderly spread »inder a private roof. Unhappily, the entire length of burnt Chicago Intervened totweea all these suffen-rs, on the north »ide, and that part of the city «.here suitable«: ear* eoold have been seemed for them. THE BURNED IH8TBICT ACCIRATKI.T MKASUtH.D. There wa» more spared of the remota- north-we.*»' of t'.l- iiui iii eldo of Chicago than the reports had uny of them admitted.an explanation of which fact I shall prosc'itly mention, la UM the etty limits were at Fullcrton-a."., the length of which from the lake to the north branch of the river Is two miles. North-ave., a mile back in the city, is hut a mile and a half In length fnun lake to river. As far as North ave. there waa little left, and clear up to Fullerton-ave. the more thickly occupied part wa» all »wept away, but the limit of this part ran tl'agonally from near the west end of North-ave. to near tho e«at ead of Fullerton-ave. Un tho left or weat of this limit Is a large district mostly unoccupied, and yet sprinkled In various direc¬ tions with resiliences of city people, as well as with the cottages of gardener». Vnpaved streets deep with sand or with earth which is like ashi's, are opened, ami to a considerable extent sidewalks of plank are laid; and there are two or three small churches within the district. Thus In fact a territory in shape an lMsceles triangle, having the base nearly two miles long on Fullert»»n-ave. t»i the north, and the sid» s (1) the river on the west, run¬ ning there north-west and south-emit, and (2) the limit of cloeer building on the east, running north-east and south¬ west, was not swept by the fire, and is now the equiva¬ lent of a small, very sparely settled village. Oak openings covered with a young and low growth of trees, squares bare even of fences and thickly covered with thistle», gardens occupying four to eight ncre9, make up a very largo proportion of the district. The city limit« were not long ago removed half a mile north of Fullerton-ave., adding a district of more than a square mile, the whole of which is as much "country1' as If no city had ever been thought of In the vicinity. The fire actually crossed Ful¬ lerton-ave. Into this district, and ran across ita south-east corner, near the lake on the east and above Lin¬ coln I'ark on the north. But it waa the least possible snip of ground which wa« burned over here and only one small building which was reached. Tlie residence and grounds of Mr. lim k, one of the great Northside brewers, who lost tMo.OOO lower down ou tho lake shorn by the destruction of hi» brewery, occupies the lake hore front on the north side of Fullerton-ave hu barn itauding nearest the south-east corner of tho premise», and Just beyond it to the south-east is the small house which the fire reached. By groat efforts, and aided by the police, whom Mr. Huck »üinuiat-t-d by the promise of tl,noo reward, the barn was saved, aud the fire cheeked at that point On the site of till» oue small house, therefore, Just oter Fullerton- ave., and right at the edge of the wide sand» beyond which Is the lake, one stands at the finishing point of the conflagration. And here I niay correct the common account« even of persons resi¬ dent at the extreme north end, In regard to the distance run by the fire.

From Klnxle-»t. »out-, »cross the river, and aa far as Harrtsou-st., is exactly one mile. Nearly all of one block was saved north of Harrlson-st., the last block to the east, dirt«, fly on the lake. Excepting this block, the distance due north from »me limit of the Ure to the other, or from Harrison-st. to Fullerton-ave., Is precisely three and one-half miles. This, therefore, la the length of tho broad sweep of conflagra¬ tion. The average breadth on the south side is three- fourths of a mile, until one reaches Bandolph-at., going north, which 1» the third »treet »out- of the river.

Thus the conflagration crossed the main trunk of Chicago River with one mile of front.

But for the hut milt) not mora than half of the a-quart« mile was nut over, the burnt half being a triangle, of which the baa« was about a mile In length and the upper point was the flnlihing point of the Aro.

PARTICULARS OF TUE BIOTâ IN GBOESBECK, TEXAS. Washington, Oct. 16..Advices from South Carolina are looked for here with considerable anxiety to-day, as the last of the five days of grace allowed by the recent proclamation. The Attorney-General has gone with Col. Merrill of the 7th Cavalry to York County, S. C, the center of the proclaimed district. Additional cavalry have arrived there since the publication of the proclamation. According to recent advices, there appear« no disposition on the part of the Ku-Klux to surrender their arms, Ac. On the contrary, it is known tliat most of those who fear arrest are lying out. The United States Marshal and his deputies are busy in the Ku-Klux country. Among the arms to be surrendered are 800 Winchester rifles, captured from the State militia some months ago, whloh have been In the possession of the Rebel banditti ever since. Letters from Texas |give an interesting account of the trouble« at Groesbeck and Springfield, which have caused Oov. Davis to send » considerable body of the State police there, and to ask power of the Legislature to enforce martial law. The troubles were begun st Groes¬ beck by a gambler named Applewhite, who carried a pistol contrary to law, and refused to surrender the sams to » colored officer, who noticed it, and resisted aa attempt to disarm him. He WM shot dead ia the subsequent melee, while attempting to nae his pistol. Almost In¬ stantly the street« were filled with armed Democrats, ami the police officer wa« barely »ble to ssve his detach¬ ment, who first barricaded themselves in Groesbook »ad then marched to Springfield, in the same county, where they were followed and besieged by an armed crowd of several hundred mon, who gathered from all quarters, after the Ant affray, aa if under arden from aomo secret authority. The roads leading to the two towna wen picketed. and at Oroesbeck the Houston evening train waa stopped and searched for Bute officers. At Springfield the mall ¦tage was «topped and searched. Information ot the riot was first forwarued U» the capital by a lady. These events occurredJust before the election, sad, aa a resolt, no polls were opened there.

The Columbia did not «»qual her jiertormanr«* In the ra*-*-» off Newport Harbor last month. The lntereat in the city regarding the termination of the raoe wa« very creal, and, as the Staten Inland ferry-boat came lu at 6 p. m., a larare crowd had assembled to learn tho r'-ttilt of the contest.

The «Warner« Mmrenta, America«), Martin, fk'a Bird, |Arrow»mith, and Antelope, crowded with spectators, arrived at tim et-trt- ing-point soon after.

George Wilson, and Harvey Harley sailed as guests ot Rear-Cominodor© Doughta, lu tho Columbia, and Lord Walter Campbell, Paymaster Cunningham, U. 8. N., and Sheppard Homani-, on th»« Livonia. The committee-boat waa industriously cm- ployud in koepiug «teamers and »mall boats away from the Livonia,an every one seemed anxious tu »<.» the stranger. THE RA« E. The ilicu.il waa given at 10:to a. m., both yacht« having previously hoisted their foresails, mainsail, and fore ami main gaff-topsails. The Livonia also aet her large »»quart] ir-.ff-topisalls. The Columbia first caught the brenae, her head sails.consisting of Jib, flylng-Jlb, and jiii-topsall. being run up and hauled to windward with a celerity which called forth the admiration of every yachtman. The wind waa blowing steadily from the north-west, and tho tide waa running out; the Columbia's head waa« canted toward the Staten Island shore, and «he spun rounp like a top and Ulled away on the starboard tai k and when fairly uuder bemlway she set her large main- topmast staysail. The Livonia hoisted ber Immense Jlb- toptall, and waa some time In canting her head, for ber after sails to draw, and she then ran up her fore staysail, and slowly followed In tho wake ol the Columbia. Both yachts moved slowly pa»*t the high blufft of Staren Island and boomed out their head sails to windward to catch every puff of air that carno from the bluff"**. The »"olum¬ bia, followed by the Livonia, rlgg«id in her booms and * hauled aft her sheet« as soon a« «he passed Fort Rich- mond. Clearing the Narrows, and fairly opcnliu »mu' the Lower Bay, they began to f»«el the strength »if ino breeze and the effect of the strong ebb tide, the ('»»lum¬ bla having passed the Staten Island Light bou.-c at linn*, and the Livonia at 1L&-). In this way the yaciit» moved sluggishly past the Upper Quarantine, at which point the Columbia was one-third of a mile ahead of ibu Livonia, and had increased the distance to half a mile when the Livonia was abreast of the Lower Quarantine. A light rain set in, which it was feared would kill the wind; but both yacht« kept their course for the South-west Spit, and the Columbia turne»! bnoy No. 10 at 12:01, having hauled down her main- topmast staysail, and standing on the port ta»:k for Sandv Hook. The Livonia turned the buoy in One »lyle at 12:09:37, and both »tent up their malntoniUHst staysail.« again, and drifted with the tide oast the Hook, half way to the lightship. The breeze freshened and shifted to th« westwurd, the Livonia being the first to feel it« .¦ile.-t. Tbe Columbia took it soon after, and turned the llght- ttbip at 1:23:53; the wind falling again as the Livonia ne.ired the lightship, which she rounded at 1:33:31. Both yachts stood on the starboard tack to the south, the Co¬ lumbia going about again when within 2*} miles of the southern eua of the Highlands, and the Livonia following aud tacking when she was within 3 miles or the «arno point. The Columbia stood for the Highlands with every stitch she could t.-1 eloae-bauled ; and it waa generally aoUced that however beautiful the Livonia looked with all her sail set on the same tack, she did not sall as near the wind aa the Columbia, which was favored In every respect with just the wind and water for her light draught. The »Columbia continued to iucivaae the distance between her and the Livonia as she stood in for the Hook, where she went aUnif again and stood to the south far enough to tack to starboard and lay her conns»« for the buoy on the South-West Spit, which she passed under a »loud of canvas at fc&O-lS, receiving hurst« of applause and «alvoa of artillery accompanied by waving of hat« ami hand¬ kerchief«. Tlie «Columbia stood on the «am« lack with the wind abeam from the weat, and Anally and tri¬ umphantly paeaed the home etake-tvoeu at l:S7:«2. and re¬ ceived another ovation.which, although not by tu» li number« aa is expected to .afreet the Grand Duke Alexi«, was certainly euthuslastlc. The Livonia rame home ar »:18:4a, having held her own pretty well on the htm>e stretch, and received a g^nerotis share of applause. omciAL Tl-B..«TASTT, «0:10 8. W. Spit. U-r-teal*** H. W.

THE CRADLE AXD THE GRAVE OF THE FIRE.[KBOM THE SPECIAL CORRKl-POXDEKT OF TUB TH1BU.NK.]Chicago, Oct. 14..Man is the only animal who

wastes his time in effort« to find out how thingsWgan lor the mere pleasure of knowing. We aro

not satisfied with our pleasures until wo havepoisoned them with that flavor ot realism. We pur¬sue our Burgundy until we have hunted it down tothe vats where it spirts under the broad feet of thepeasant« of Beaune. And we are eqnally unwise indwelling on the source of our troubles, instead of1.mking forward to the end of them, and then for¬getting thom wholly. The Nile is better worth see¬

ing at Karnak and Cairo than at Nj an/a. Tho Mis¬sissippi is a far more enjoyable stream at SpunkyPoint or Alton than at Itasca'Laka. Yet good men,sensible in the main, waste their lives in trackingthem to those savage thickets, where nature haahidden away their cradles safe from the tread of theworld.Ißeethe folly of all this pla'nly enough, hut the

human nature in me will not let me follow my own

precept. I have here before me six miles, more or

less, of the finest conflagration ever seen. I havesmoking ruins and ruins which bave broken them¬selves of smoking; churches as romantic in theirdilapidation as Melrose by moonlight; mountains ofbrick and mortar and forests of springing chimneys;but I turned from them all this morning to hunt forthe spot where the fire started. It is the greatestand most brilliant apparition of the nineteenth cen¬

tury'.more reckless than Fisk, more remorselessthan Bismarck. Some details of its early Lie mightnot be without edification. There may be lessons init« cradle and its grave. These were the thoughtsthat justified mo in going to Dekoven-st., thoughthe real reason was that I was curious to see thofirst footprint of the monster who had trampled a

great city out of existence in a day.Nothing could W more ignoble and commonplace

than this quarter of Chicago. I reached it by cross¬

ing over the long drawbridge at T\velfth-«t., whichwaa swinging gracefully on its pivot as I came. ThoetTeets were all filled with wagons loaded down withfuruitnre, which exposed to the gaze of the loungersthe broken life of the family. The air of the quarterwas wholly foreign and not quite reputable. Eventhe little Church of St. Wenzel added to the Bo¬hemian air of the district. German volunteers were

guarding the relief stores from hungry Czechs, whowould make irregular forays on the provisions Bothsides thought their dignity required they shouldspeak English instead of their native tongue. " Keepyour fingers von dem pretzels off, or you 11 git a

het on you." " Yee ! I bet you got a heap o' style,don't it." These colloquies sometimes give us

moments of conjecture as to the final doom of our

language. I found Dekoven-st. at last, a mean lit¬tle street of shabby wooden houses, with dirty door-yards and unpainted fence« falling to decay. It badno look of Chicago about it. Take it up bodily anddrop it out on the prairie and its name might beLickakillet Station as well as anything else. Thestreet was nnpaved and Uttered with old boxea andmildewed papers, and adozen absurd geese wanderedabout with rustic fsmilisrity. Slatternly women

lounged st the gates and bare-legged children keptup an evidently traditional warfare of skirmishingwith the geese. On the sonth side of the street nota house was touched. On the north only one re¬

mained. All the rest were simply sabes. Therewere no piles of ruin here. The wooden hovels leftno landmarks except here and there a stunted chim¬ney too squat to fall. The grade had been raisedin places and left untouched in others, so that now,as in the North Diviaion, the rosda seemed like via¬ducts, and acorchea and blackened trees seemedgrowing out of sodded cellars. But of all the miser¬able plain stretching out before me to the burningcoal-heaps in the northern distance, I was only in¬terested in the narrow block between Dekoven and

Taylor-ats., now quite flat snd cool, with small

gutter-boys marching through the lots, some kickingwith bare feet in the light sabes for suspected snd

sporadic coals, and others prudently mounted on

stilts, which sunk from tims to time in the spongysoil and caused the young scrobsts to descend igno-minioualy and pull them out. This was the Moco»of my pilgrimage, for here the fire began. Onesqualid little hovel alone remained intact inall that rmmt «pune. A warped andweather-beaten shanty of two rooms, perchedm thia alka, with tia pistol nailed half

way down them like dirty pantalets. There was

BO shiibhier hut in Chicago nor iu Tipperary. But itstood there safe, while a city hail perished before itand around it. It wa« prcnerv.d by its own de¬structive significance. It wa« made naen d by tbecurse that rested on it.a curse more deadly than thatwhich darkened the lintel« of the house of Thycstes.For out of that hoiwe, last Sunday night, came awomah with a lamp to the barn behind the house, tomilk the cow with the crumpled temper, that kickedtbe lamp, that spilled the kerosene, that fired thestraw, that burned Chicago. And there to this hour¦tanda that craven little house, holding on tightly toits miscrablo existence.

I Storni on the sidewalk opposite, as iaduty bonntl,calling up the appropriate emotions. A strange,wrinkled face on a dwarfish body carne up and said," That's a dhreadful sight." 1 aNsented, nnd he con¬tinued in a melancholy croon; "Forty year I'velived here.and there wasn't a brick houso but wau,and that wai tho Lakeside House, and it's gone now ;nn' av yell helavo mo, Boor, I nivor see a fire loikothat." I believed him thoroughly, and he wontaway. My emotions not being satisfactory from afront view of the shanty, I went around to the rear,and there found the Man of the House sitting withtwo of his friends. His wife, Our Lady of theLamp.freighted with heavier disaster than thatwhich Psycho carried to the hed-eiJe of Eros.sat atthe window, knitting. I approached the Man of thoHouse and gave him good-day. He glanced up withsleepy, furtivo oyes. I asked him what ho knewabout the origin of the fire. He glanced athis friends and said, civilly, he knew verylittle; ho wa« wakoi up about 9 o'clock by tho alarm,nnd fought from that time to save his house; atevery sentence he furnell to his friends and said, " Ican prove it bv them," to which they nodded assent.He seemed fearful that all Chicago was coming downupon bim for piompt and integral payment of thatÇJOO.WM 1,000 his cow had kicked over. His neighborssay this story is an invention dating from the second»lay of the fire. There wai something unutterablygrotesque in this ultimate atom feeling » sense ofreapousibility for a catastrophe so stupendous, nndstriving hy a fiction, which must have heavily taxedhis highest powers of imagination, to escape a reckon¬ing he was already free from,

l.iko ti n fellow-t the midge ami the nil,Tlirumcti niiuutciii-hi», lo Wit.

Huving seen the beginning of the fire we thoughtit worth while to track it through it« rise and itsgrandeur to it« magnificent end after a gloriousihiy'slife. There i« a very singularcapriceof tha fin in theNorth Division, equally remarkable with that in De-kovon-st. The house of Mr. Mahlon Ogden, a largoframe building standing very near the street, is en¬

tirely untouched, while the entire region around itis laid hare. Even the church across the street,which stands entirely detached, is destroyed. Theescape of the Ogden mansion is as complete and as

mysterious as if it had worn an invisible coat of as¬

besto«. Tho fire wai no less singular in what it at¬tacked than in what it spared. Just beyond thishouso, which would seem with its dry seasoned pinea most appetizing morsel for the fire-devil, there lie«a green and tranquil grave-yard, with nothing in itwhich could attract a well-regulated fire. But thisfiery tempest has swept in among these graves andtombstones, has sought out with an apparentdisregard of conducting material, the humble woodenheadboards, and has even gnawed the marble inmany place«. Tho last expiring efforts of the flameswere in the quiet German cemetery at the gate ofLincoln Park, by the shining beach of the Lake. Itis here that hundreds of the hunted fugitives of theNorth Division, hotly cha«e<l by the fire, came topass that first miserable night of hunger and cold.Loads of household goods were brought here, anddashed carelessly upon the ground. As the hardnight wore on, and the cold wind came blowing Infiom the " unsalted sea," chilling the blood after thefever of the day, theso unhappy people beganto break up and burn the furniture theyhad saved, and brought so far withlabor and pain. Everywhere you may seo the tracesof that wretched vigil of heart-breaking desperation.At oye poinf there is a pilo of half-burned picture-frames profusely gilded and elaborately carved, andat another there lie the scattered fragment« of »

richly-inlaid cabinet. A library-chair has it« backburned away and it« upholstery wrinkle<l{and singedwith the watch-fire. lint there are other and more

revolting evidences of tho misery which on thatnight gave many over into infernal guidance. Ipassed one modest grave, near the seono of a night-camp. A heart was carved npon the wooden tomb¬stone by pious hands, and into this touching emblema steel fork had been driven by someS brutal fist.Above the outraged blazon were the tender words,Jiuhe Sauft ("Sleep .Softly").The scenes witnessed in that quiet graveyard dur¬

ing that night of horror wero enough to appall thestoutest temperament«. A throng of half-maddenedsufferers straggled through tho grove looking fortheir friend« and finding no one, oppressed by a

weight of anxiety that caused them to neglect theirphysical discomforts. Delicate women came a« theyhRd escaped from death in thin fluttering nightclothes blown about by the surly Autumn wind.Several were in a state which demanded the gentlestcare and sympathy. Many little children wore

thrown into the crowd too young to speak theirparente' name«. And upon all, the crushingblow of an enormous and irremediable disasterhad fallen and rendered them for the momentincapable of any rational judgment I heard of one

company of German singers from » low concert sa¬

loon, who flew out into the night with nothing buttheir tawdry evening dresses, who sat shivering andsilent in a huddled group in the lee of a tomb-stone,their bare arms and shoulders blue and pinched, andthe tinsel flowers in theirbair.shining with frost Theytalked little, but sometimes they cheated their mie-eiy with songs, »nd it had a strange effect to hear inthat gloomy and sorrow-stricken place the soft impu¬rities of the Viennamuse, and the ringing and joyousjodelof the Tyrol. Near by the fragments of a

Methodist congregation had improvised a prayer-meeting, and the sound of psalms and supplicationwent up mingled with that worldly music to thedeep and tolerant heavensThe fire could get no hold on the green wood of

Lincoln Park and so gave it up, and went furiouslyoff to the left and ate np all the pretty suburbanhouses on that side, and ended only when the wideprairie lay before it with nothing more to burn. Atthe corner of Willow and Orchard-sts., the noble out¬line of the Newberry Behool bounds the line of de¬vastation as if to ssy that the future hope of

Chicago, the power that shall yet rise superior to

calamity, is Intelligence. '« H-

THE BURNED IH8TBICT ACCIRATKI.T MKASUtH.D.There wa» more spared of the remota- north-we.*»' of t'.l-

iiui iii eldo of Chicago than the reports had uny of themadmitted.an explanation of which fact I shall prosc'itlymention, la UM the etty limits were at Fullcrton-a.".,the length of which from the lake to the north branch ofthe river Is two miles. North-ave., a mile back in thecity, is hut a mile and a half In length fnun lake to river.As far as North ave. there waa little left, and clear up toFullerton-ave. the more thickly occupied part wa» all

»wept away, but the limit of this part ran tl'agonallyfrom near the west end of North-ave. to near thoe«at ead of Fullerton-ave. Un tho left orweat of this limit Is a large districtmostly unoccupied, and yet sprinkled In various direc¬tions with resiliences of city people, as well as with thecottages of gardener». Vnpaved streets deep with sandor with earth which is like ashi's, are opened, ami to a

considerable extent sidewalks of plank are laid; andthere are two or three small churches within the district.Thus In fact a territory in shape an lMsceles triangle,having the base nearly two miles long on Fullert»»n-ave.t»i the north, and the sid» s (1) the river on the west, run¬

ning there north-west and south-emit, and (2) the limit ofcloeer building on the east, running north-east and south¬west, was not swept by the fire, and is now the equiva¬lent of a small, very sparely settled village. Oak openingscovered with a young and low growth of trees, squaresbare even of fences and thickly covered with thistle»,gardens occupying four to eight ncre9, make up a verylargo proportion of the district. The city limit« were not

long ago removed half a mile north of Fullerton-ave.,adding a district of more than a square mile, the wholeof which is as much "country1' as If no city had ever beenthought of In the vicinity. The fire actually crossed Ful¬lerton-ave. Into this district, and ran across ita south-eastcorner, near the lake on the east and above Lin¬coln I'ark on the north. But it waa the leastpossible snip of ground which wa« burned overhere and only one small building which was reached.Tlie residence and grounds of Mr. lim k, one of the greatNorthside brewers, who lost tMo.OOO lower down ou tholake shorn by the destruction of hi» brewery, occupiesthe lake hore front on the north side of Fullerton-avehu barn itauding nearest the south-east corner of tho

premise», and Just beyond it to the south-east is thesmall house which the fire reached. By groat efforts,and aided by the police, whom Mr. Huck »üinuiat-t-d bythe promise of tl,noo reward, the barn was saved, audthe fire cheeked at that point On the site of till» oue

small house, therefore, Just oter Fullerton-ave., and right at the edge of the widesand» beyond which Is the lake, one standsat the finishing point of the conflagration. And here Iniay correct the common account« even of persons resi¬dent at the extreme north end, In regard to the distancerun by the fire. From Fullerton-ave. south to Klnzle-st.,Is two and one-balf mile» by the survey, Klnxie »t, 1»

the second street north of the main channelof the river. From Klnxle-»t. »out-, »cross the river,and aa far as Harrtsou-st., is exactly one mile. Nearlyall of one block was saved north of Harrlson-st., the last

block to the east, dirt«, fly on the lake. Excepting thisblock, the distance due north from »me limit ofthe Ure to the other, or from Harrison-st. to

Fullerton-ave., Is precisely three and one-half miles. This,therefore, la the length of tho broad sweep of conflagra¬tion. The average breadth on the south side is three-fourths of a mile, until one reaches Bandolph-at., goingnorth, which 1» the third »treet »out- of the river. Herothe great Central Depot grounds at Ute foot of .Lake andWater -t». push the Une of breadth ont to exactly one

mile. Thus the conflagration crossed the main trunk of

Chicago River with one mile of front. Over the river theline of br» adth puihe» »till moro into the lake,enough to girt the Uro a front of a mile andone-sixth, and this front is fully kept forthe flrto half mile north and nearly or quit«kept for the «econd half-mile ; It did not lose much of itfor the third half mile. But for the hut milt) not mora

than half of the a-quart« mile was nut over, the burnt halfbeing a triangle, of which the baa« was about a mile In

length and the upper point was the flnlihing point ofthe Aro. This whole regionm aot burned by a directnorthward progress of tb« In, hot in «rast swaths fromthe river oa the matt diagonally acroa» to the laka.

Washington, Oct. 16..Advices from SouthCarolina are looked for here with considerable anxietyto-day, as the last of the five days of grace allowed bythe recent proclamation. The Attorney-General has

gone with Col. Merrill of the 7th Cavalry to York County,S. C, the center of the proclaimed district. Additionalcavalry have arrived there since the publication ofthe proclamation. According to recent advices, thereappear« no disposition on the part of the Ku-Klux tosurrender their arms, Ac. On the contrary, it is knowntliat most of those who fear arrest are lying out. TheUnited States Marshal and his deputies are busy in theKu-Klux country. Among the arms to be surrenderedare 800 Winchester rifles, captured from the State militiasome months ago, whloh have been In the possession ofthe Rebel banditti ever since.Letters from Texas |give an interesting account of the

trouble« at Groesbeck and Springfield, which have causedOov. Davis to send » considerable body of the Statepolice there, and to ask power of the Legislature toenforce martial law. The troubles were begun st Groes¬beck by a gambler named Applewhite, who carried a

pistol contrary to law, and refused to surrender thesams to » colored officer, who noticed it,and resisted aa attempt to disarm him.He WM shot dead ia the subsequentmelee, while attempting to nae his pistol. Almost In¬stantly the street« were filled with armed Democrats,ami the police officer wa« barely »ble to ssve his detach¬ment, who first barricaded themselves in Groesbook »adthen marched to Springfield, in the same county, wherethey were followed and besieged by an armed crowdof several hundred mon, who gathered fromall quarters, after the Ant affray, aa if underarden from aomo secret authority. The roadsleading to the two towna wen picketed.and at Oroesbeck the Houston evening train waa stoppedand searched for Bute officers. At Springfield the mall¦tage was «topped and searched.

The ilicu.il waa given at 10:to a. m., both yacht« havingpreviously hoisted their foresails, mainsail, and fore amimain gaff-topsails. The Livonia also aet her large »»quart]ir-.ff-topisalls. The Columbia first caught the brenae, herhead sails.consisting of Jib, flylng-Jlb, and jiii-topsall.being run up and hauled to windward with a celeritywhich called forth the admiration of every yachtman.The wind waa blowing steadily from the north-west, andtho tide waa running out; the Columbia's head waa«

canted toward the Staten Island shore, and «he spunrounp like a top and Ulled away on the starboard tai kand when fairly uuder bemlway she set her large main-topmast staysail. The Livonia hoisted ber Immense Jlb-toptall, and waa some time In canting her head, for berafter sails to draw, and she then ran up her fore staysail,and slowly followed In tho wake ol the Columbia. Bothyachts moved slowly pa»*t the high blufft of Staren Islandand boomed out their head sails to windward to catchevery puff of air that carno from the bluff"**. The »"olum¬bia, followed by the Livonia, rlgg«id in her booms and *

hauled aft her sheet« as soon a« «he passed Fort Rich-mond. Clearing the Narrows, and fairly opcnliu »mu'the Lower Bay, they began to f»«el the strength »if ino

breeze and the effect of the strong ebb tide, the ('»»lum¬bla having passed the Staten Island Lightbou.-c at linn*,and the Livonia at 1L&-). In this way the yaciit» movedsluggishly past the Upper Quarantine, at which pointthe Columbia was one-third of a mile ahead of ibuLivonia, and had increased the distance to half a milewhen the Livonia was abreast of the Lower Quarantine.A light rain set in, which it was feared would kill thewind; but both yacht« kept their course for theSouth-west Spit, and the Columbia turne»! bnoyNo. 10 at 12:01, having hauled down her main-topmast staysail, and standing on the port ta»:k forSandv Hook. The Livonia turned the buoy in One »lyleat 12:09:37, and both »tent up their malntoniUHst staysail.«again, and drifted with the tide oast the Hook, half wayto the lightship. The breeze freshened and shifted to th«westwurd, the Livonia being the first to feel it« .¦ile.-t.Tbe Columbia took it soon after, and turned the llght-ttbip at 1:23:53; the wind falling again as the Livoniane.ired the lightship, which she rounded at 1:33:31. Bothyachts stood on the starboard tack to the south, the Co¬lumbia going about again when within 2*} miles of thesouthern eua of the Highlands, and the Livonia followingaud tacking when she was within 3 miles or the «arnopoint.The Columbia stood for the Highlands with every stitch

she could t.-1 eloae-bauled ; and it waa generally aoUcedthat however beautiful the Livonia looked with all hersail set on the same tack, she did not sall as near thewind aa the Columbia, which was favored In everyrespect with just the wind and water for her lightdraught. The »Columbia continued to iucivaae thedistance between her and the Livonia as she stoodin for the Hook, where she went aUnif again andstood to the south far enough to tack tostarboard and lay her conns»« for the buoy onthe South-West Spit, which she passed under a »loud ofcanvas at fc&O-lS, receiving hurst« of applause and «alvoaof artillery accompanied by waving of hat« ami hand¬kerchief«.
