 In Perry, Maine, new brig on the stocks, nearly completed, has been destroyed
 The St. Andrews Standard says that the forests are burning in all directions. Many farm houses have been burnt to the ground and the crops destroyed.
 shire are driving the bears and rattlesnakes from their forest homes, and several have been killed.
 The following are the latest dispatches:
 B,Valo, August 28.-The fires in the woods near London, Canada West, are still burning, and threaten the city with destruction. The smoke is so dense that the Great Western rail- road trains have been temporarily discontinued.
 Bangor, Aug. 28.-The fire in the woods still continues, and there is scarcely town within fifty miles of here that has not suffered more or less. The drought still continues, and the crops are literally parched
 The damage to the woodlands in this imme- diate vicinity from fire is estimated at over BIO, OOO The roads are impossible in many places
 Boston, Aug. 29th.-In Tewksbury and Will mington, in this State the fires ill the woods have been raging for several days past and was only checked yesterday. About 1000 acres o1 woodland have been burnt over. Loss estimat- ed at $2OOOO.
 Bufa1o, August 31-The Ohio pine swamps west of the Hudson have been burning for SC verdi weeks. The meadows, to the extent ot several hundred acres, are burnt four feet deep The fire bursts out from the soil, causing the greatest cOnsternatlOn.

Late from the Rio Grande.

Col. Lane arrived in this city on the 2d inst. en route for his residence from the Rio Grande tie confirms the intelligence of the revolution in Mexico. He had conversation with Col Caplstran. It is the determination of the re. volutlonary leaders not to make a great sacri- nee ot life to gain possession of Matamoras, but to establish garrlsons at the passes of the Sierra Madre-keep out reinforcements-cu off SUD- plies, and force Gen. Wool to capitulate, ol evacuate the city, withouta regular investment This is the plan we proposed in the revolu- tlon of Gen. Carvajal. It will succeed. It is said that Gen Wool sent an express to Santa Anna, asking for endorsements and money He was told by His Serene Hghness he would have to rely upon men and the resources he had in hand and could obtain in his depart ment.
 The general opinion in Mexico is, that Santa Anna IS preparing to leave the country. He is represented as having invested much of his dis posabl' means in forei gn securities Itis thought he will abandon Mexico on the receipt of the ,OOO under the Gadsden treaty. There IS no guessing at his movements.
 The Indians continue to commit depreda- tions The commissioners found it impractica ble to proceed from Rio Grande city to Laredo to investigate the land claims in Webb county They have returned home, and will await fo, the mastering in of the Rangers, in order tc procure an escort from that corps to proceed tC Fl Paso
 Col. Lane left Rio Grande city on the 25tl August. His party met with Indian signs al many points on the road to Corpus Christi They had to keep vigiant watch to proven, them from stealing their horses. At the Olmos some seventy miles from Corpus Christi one O. the horses received a wound, suppo ,ed to have been made by an arrow.
 The whole frontier is in state of utter in security. The Quartermasters hands were dri ven ln from work at Ringold Barracks, on the 24th of August. The danger to travellers il crossing the country between the Nueces anc the Rio Grande is imminent
 The party of Indians committing depreda tlons in that region is supposed to number oyer one hundred. They are sometimes in separate bands; at others, all lltogether. 1.-the party men toned in our last should visit that part of the frontier, they will quite break it up. | The Rangers should now be in the field.- There IS ample service for them to perform. I IS probable the Indians may not harrass the set dement's during the winter. Spring is the mos usual time for them to make descents. Tho grass is good-their families are then higher u, the country and out of danger. The colo northers, upon the broad, bleak prairies abov, 1 the 32d degree of latitude, are avoided by tn, Indians in winter.

HoMIc1DE.-Yesterday evening about o. clock, John Q. High, constable of Spring Creek township, shot and killed John Slate, of the same township, in this place. High had awar- rant for Slate, who had whipped youth, son of Mir. McCawly, and followed him into town, found him on mule, endeavoring to escape. High ordered him to stand" when Slate drew revolver and High shot him with double barreled shotgun, causing his death almost in- stantly. We regret exceedingly the perpetra- ton of this homicide, particularly in our town, as we think it might with ordinary prudence have been avoided
 We clip the above from the Helena Shield of the 9th, which reached us on last Friday night, having made the trip all the way from Helena to this place in the wonderful space of thirteen days. We also learn from the same paper that High was acquitted by the examn- ing court.

PERTURBATION OF KNOW NoTH1NG1sM.- We are pleased to see the promptitude with which the democracy every where repudiate all alli- ance, or utilization, in any way, with the secret political association yclept Know-N Nothing. As we said some tsne ago, we yet believe, that the new party is an offspring of the whig party. 1t IS devlce to unite an opposition to democ- racy to be made up of demagogues as leaders and dnpes as followers. So far as we are con- cerned, we desire nothing to do with this fac ton Tn any way, and hope to see every demo- crat standing aloof from it.
 It would not in the least surprise us to find an organization sufficient to defeat the democ- racy in the next Presidential contest. And if SO, we will here predict that the successful can- 'dldate will be whig with abolition predilcc- alons,-tfe''dersom Reporter.
 We think the Reporter in error in regard to this hybrid party ever being strong enough to succeed in national contest We believe that before 1856 this Know Nothing medley will be defunct.

0TThe Peoples Advocate, democratic paper, published at Salem, Massachusetts, thus sketches two of the prominent men, who figured in the late whig convention in that State
 C Its presiding officer, Hon. Franklin Dexter was bred in the bone of federalism and most truly did he show his blood in his speech on that day, full as it was of nullifcation, and the idea that Massachusetts Is the pivot on which revolves the universe. Close upon him fol- lowed Hon. Josiah Quincy, who commenced life stern and uncompromisng foe of the re- publican principles of our government, and has reserved for his old age all the fire of youth to enklndle his hatred still. The man who drew down upon his head the anathema of Henry Clay that he solled the carpet upon which he trod,' for hlS bitter opposition to the American glory and honor which were vindicated in the last war with Great Britain-the man who fur. nlshed the Hartford Convention with its most reasonable sentiments-the man who never recognised the democratic genius of our gov ernment-could find no better sphere in which to perform the closing acts of long and vigo- rous political life, than whg convention It was no new thing for him to denounce the constitution. and we find his last words accor- dant with those who burn that sacred nstru- ment in public on our nations birthday, and brand 1t as covenant with death, and league with he'll An old man, gathering up his strengh to denounce his country, and absolving the moral obligations of the constitution-tar nishing the brightest virtues of private life by an utter denial of public faith-striking his last feeble blow at that republic which has covered him with honor, and given effect to his endeavors-can anything more be wanting to show the poison which turks in whig poli ties and which even old age cannot eradicate? No wonder that younger men tried to reach him with their speeches and their resolutions. No wonder that free-soil orators found ample room and verge enough in this convention to reach the height of their folly."

GFWe copy the following excellent remarks from the Baltimore Patriot of the 3Oth:

GFWe copy the following excellent remarks from the Baltimore Patriot of the 3Oth:
 THE WHEAT AND CORN CRoPs.-Although we are far from undertaking the very serious damage to the crops by the severe August drouth, yet we are quite as little disposed to ad- init the truth of all the gloomy pictures of the present, and the still more gloomy vaticinations of the future with which some of the journals are filled. It is we'll known fact to the busi- ness world, that there are bulls" and "bears" as we'll in grain and flour, as in fancy stocks and that immense sums of money are yearly lost and won by speculations in the necessa- ries of lfe It follows, inevitably, that the same class of newspapers which are employed by op- orators to affect the value of stocks and other securities, will carry out the same course in re- spect to grain and breadstufs. The method by which they principally act is to carefully col lect and mass together every unfavorable account from the country press; and when these are not sufficiently plentiful, to manufacture them to suit the emergency-while every opposite account is carefully suppressed. Thus the ma- terial for panic is laid-while a few adroitlv constructed leaders, aimed at the ever suscep- tible fears of the commercial world, complete the work.
 Among the journals most consistent and most active in this ungrateful work, of paralyzing trade and discouraging industry, the New York Tribune has ever been conspicuous. Its lead- ing propretors and stockholders are largely en- gagged in spcculations of various kinds-banks stocks coal mines, provisions, etc.,-and the regular lire of their operations is uniformly with the bears Consequently, the Tribune with It's immense circulation, and the reputa- tion for good faith which the apparent frank ness and sincerity of its political editor have conferred upon it, has gigantic power for mis- chet, and annually depreciates commercial and agricultural values throughout the country, to the extent of millions These facts require mperatively to be known, for the protection of all classes of the community.
 These remarks are made appropos of a state ment which has just met our eve. that "the wheat crop of Wisconsin is abundant, and the Sranarles or the farmers were never filed more piehtl1ully." This shows that the accounts are not all so bad as has been represented Be- | sides, from other accounts from other regions and our own observation and private sources of information, we believe the truth to be, that the drouth has been partial and sectional; and that While Ill some places, there will not per maps be more than half crop, in others, the damage has been comparatively slight It must be remembered, too, that the low stage of the western waters has prevented arrivals, and that the stock on hand in our Atlantic cities has consequently got so low as to suspend op- eratons, except for actual consumption or fu- ture delivery. In short time, the rains will come, and the balance of last years stock from the west will come pouring in.

CAPT. HoLL1Ns.-We had a despatce few days ago, stating that Capt. Rollins had been detached from the command of the sloo o-of. war Cayne, now lying at Boston. A despatch from that city, dated the 9th inst, says
 The Secretary of the navy expresses regret at the recent arrest of Capt. Rollins, and asserts that he retains the not only unimpaired, but strengthened confidence of the department for patriotism, true courage, and all the elements of fitness to command national vessel. Also, that the government will stand between him and any difficulties he may be subjected to, in consequence of the bambardment of Greytown.
 On taking leave of the crew of the Cyane. Capt. Rollins addressed them in an eloquent' touching and appropriate speech, which was responded to with laud cheers and great enthu- siasm. The scene was quite affecting.
