Mayor Wentworth on the crisis.

Chicago, Jan. 7.

--Mayor Wentworth has issued a proclamation recommending that business be suspended on the 8th of January, and that the people congregate at such places as may seem best to adopt necessary measures to declare their attachment to the Federal Union. He recommends that the military companies take such steps as they may deem due to the memory of Jackson and the gallantry of Anderson.

At sunrise 33 guns will be fired for the Union, at noon 56 in honor of Major Anderson, and at sunset 78 for Andrew Jackson. During this salute the bells will be tolled.

A movement is also on foot for a sword for Major Anderson.
