Beyond Ibis was saved a record kept bra reporter of papef, of the suits brought Id Chicago since the 11th day of December, ISGT, almost to the present date, with the circumstances of its bringing.

In respect to the records of the criminal trials, acquittals, and convictions they are of the lost, excepting so far as the extracts which bare accompanied prisoners to Joliet verify what was of record. It had never been deemed necessary by the county uQlclals to place these records in a vault. But the pending Indictments arc preserved. These were in a safe lately provided. The thieves and other preyers upon humanity may have escaped for Uie time being by reason of the calamity which baa fallen upon the city, but they had better taka advantage of that enforced upon the people, to leave the precincts of Chicago, for the crimes against them arc still of record in that vault, which safe, and lu a few days Juries will return, at least, to the duty of enforcing the criminal law.

The only clue to the records of these courts will bo, as has been elated, for the Cook Countwrecords, to be found in the abstract tKXJks'whlch bare been preserved. THE GREAT FIRES OF HISTORY. In the midst of all the blank wonder with which the people of as they are for energy and 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: Chicago has always been bent on boating the world la has done 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 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, in 1838. which destroyed 1.158 buildings, and extended over 145 those ol Quebec, in May and June, 2845, which, together, destroyed k.BOO buildings and manv lives; that of Charleston, lu 1645, which laid nearly the whole city in ruins; and that of Portland, in the following year, whichi almost 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 referred to the typo of destructive four 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 value nf buildings, moreover, Iti.those days was exceedingly small when.compap*d to our times. About seventy-five ago the principal portion of Charleston, was. destroyed by fire and large ofltspeople rained.

Compared to the great Are ofNew kork, in 1635. it was larger in though probably not destroying so much property. Other historical fires aru thOfO of Moscow, destroyed by mililary orders; of Canton, China, about thirty ago, when more than 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 damage was estimated at $18,000,000, against the (some set it higher) which (be devouring element has (matched an ay from ub in Chicago. 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 tendered assistance of her friends in other parts of the country, Joined to the indomitable and elastic energy of her own jwople, will be bnilded again, solemnly yet determinedly, upon the still smoldering ashes of her late glory, ana become known an the Phcenlx appellation to which her somewhat obsolete one of Uatdou City will readily give place.

15 Sooth Canal street. West Division, oml the paper wiU heruoftcr be icguLirly from that place till further notice. In the midst of a calamity without parallel in the history, looking upon the ashes of thirty accumulations, the'people dfcthisoncc beautiful city have resolved that CHICAGO SHALL RISE AGAIN With woe on every hand, with death in many strange places, with two or three hundred millions of our hard-earned property swept away in a few hours, the hearts of our men and women are still brave, and they look into the future with undaunted hearts. As there has never been such a ca. lamity, so lias there never been such cheerful fortitude in the face of desolatioiuand ruin.

Thanks to the blessed charity of the good people of the United States, we shall not suffer from hunger or nakedness in this trying time. Hundreds of train-loads of provisions are coming forward to us with all speed from every quarter, from Maine to Omaha. Some have already arrived will reach us before these words are printed. Three-fourths of our inhabited area is still saved. The water supply will be speedily renewed.

Steam fire engines from a dozen neighboring cities have already arrived, and more arc on their way. It seems impossible that any further progress should be made by the I. antes, or that any new lire should break out that would not be instantly extinguished. Already, contracts have been made for rebuikling some of the burned blocks, and the clearing away of the debris will begin to-day, if the heat is so far subdued that the charred material can be handled. Field, Leilcr and John V.

Farwell Co. will recommence business to-day. The money and securities in all the banks are safe. The railroads are working with all their energies to bring us out of our affliction. The three hundred millions of capital invested in these roads is bound to sec us through.

They have been built with special reference to a great commercial mart of this place, and they cannot fail to sustain us. Chicago MUST RISE AGAIN', We do not belittle the calamity that has befallen us. The world has probably never seen the like of not since Moscow burned. But the forces of nature, no less than the forces of reason require that the exchanges of a great region should be conducted here. Ten, twenty years may be required to reconstruct our fair city, but the capital to rebuild it fire-proof will be forthcoming.

The losses we have suffered must be borne; but the place, the time, and the men arc here, to commence at the bottom and work up again; not at the 'cat-torn neither, for we have credit in every land, and the eNjaiiencc of one upbuilding of Chicago to help us. Let us all cheer up, save what is yet left, and we shall come out right. The Christian world is coming to'our relief. The worst is already over. In a few days more all the' dangers will be past, and we can resume the battle of life with Christian faith and Western grit.

Let us all cheer up! CONDITION OF THE BANKS One of the points of gieatcst interest is to know the condition 6f the banks. On this point it is well understood that on Saturday night the twenty leading hanks of the city held an average amount of cash means, viz: currency, bonds, and New York exchange, equal to 35-per cent of their aggregate deposits. We believe, after a careful examination of the bank vaults, that nearly every dol" this will be saved. Tlirce.of the National Bank vaults ed yesterday, and everything found ncact. 'i he most important point, however, is the A earful analysis of this item gives a rrtuberl.

more cheerful aspect to affairs than might lx expected. Of the aggregate lotr.s, nearly two-thirds were trade to lumber, gram, and provision dealers The provision and lumber dealers have lost comparatively little: and as far the grain dealers the entire loss of grain will not exceed 000. itis loss would fall mainly on about six leading The greatest loss in the bills receivable of the tanks will be on regular mercantile paper. If this merca 11- tiie paper is worth even 20 cents on the dollar, tbrre is reason to hope that the banks will ultimately find that bills are worth, average, 60 cents mi tke dollar, and, considerablymorc. It will take time to make this available, but we believe that some if the hanks will pay the -whole of their deposits.

They must, ofcourse, have some money to begin business on, and for tbi reason -will not be able to pay anything very soon There is to be a meeting of bankers at the 'Vabash avenue residence of C. T.

The greatest thing in their' favor is that thev have no mercantile paper.

The banks have taken temporary offices, mainly at two points, 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 indexes 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 neighboring cities. There should be sub-committees of our local relief organization totficct them, and direct the disposition 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 railroads take passengers free out of the city to the neighboring towns and country. The more who avail themselves 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 receive attention, will he very 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.
