FIRE ALONG THE RAILRoAD.-Whilet the
down train On the Fitchburg and Worcester
Railroad was passing between Leominster and
Sterling, yesterday afternoon, the brush on the
easterly side of the road was discovered to be
on fire, and spreading rapidly, probably caused
by spark from the locomotive. The train
Immediately put back, and all hands, headed
by Col Phillips, president of the road, went to
work, ana finally succeeded, by the applicil-
ton of evergreen boughs, in quenchng the
flames. Had they not been stopped on
the instant, immense damage must have
been done, as extensive woods were in
close proximity, together with large guam
titles of cut wood, in piles, which would
have been exposed 10 the fire Colonel
Phillips offered to pay back the fares of the
passengers who assisted in quelling the flames,
but they all declined The train was lelaye
about half an hour in consequence of the fire.

The Ladies Union Association having COM

those gentlemen who have given us the use
of sewing machines, which, in all cases, did
the work satisfactorily to those having it in

towels, bandages pin cushions. &c. have been
received, and we kindly thank those ladies

gift, amounting in one instance to Sl18 10, and
in another to S37 %, which,at the commence
ment enabled us 10 go on with our work with
out the delay of collecting. In future all arti-
cles Or moneys paid to the treasurer will be
acknowledged and a receipt given at the time.

principal streets, making fine appearance.
Both companies and bands were present,
with large assemblage of citizens, at

Hard to Please.

John W. Forney, we believe, was
never supected of being any thing but a
Democrat. He made Buchanan Presi-
dent, but most bitterly repented of the
great wrong he thereby did to his coun-
try, and did what he could to atone for
it in an honest and out-spoken
dcnunciation Of the treason hatched in
Buchanans Cabinet. He was thence
forth the ablest, as he was undoubtedly
the most influential, friend of Douglas.
lie was, and is, beside true and un-
conditional Union man.
With this "record," Forney was a can
didate before the House of Representa-
tives in Congress, for the office of Clerk.
But in consequence of the election of
Grow, of Pennsylvania, as Speaker, it
was not thought right to make another
Pennsylvania Clerk, and so Etheridge,
Of Tenn, a good Union man, and a
Southerner, was elected. Thereupon the
papers in Ohio, and elsewhere, which
must find fault with everything done
by the Republicans, extoled Forney as
the greatest man and best Democrat in
the Union, and denounced the Repub-
lican Congress in the gravest terms for
not electing him Clerk, and declared
that the only reason why he was not
elected was the fact of his Democracy.
And thereupon the Republican Senate
to ok him up for Clerk in that body, and
elected him. When, 10! these Same pa
pers denounce the Senate in like style
for electins the renegade and apostate
Forney to SO important an office! Oh!
consistency!

Will He do It?

Piracy, by the laws of all civilized
nations, is considered one Of the highest
crimes, and is universally punished with
death. 1t has been so punished under
the laws of the United States ever since
the organization of the Government.
jeff Davis has undertaken to COM
mission the ''robbers of the seas to
commit piracy on our commerce. Our
naval ships have captured a band of
these pirates, and they are now awaiting
trial in New York Of their guilt there
is no doubt, for they were taken with
all the evidence Of their crimes upon
them That they must be convicted is
"a necessity, unless the court and jury
perjure themselves.
But Jeff. Davis has deliberately no.
titled the Government that if these pi-
rates are executed according to law,
he will hang, rithout law, as many
Union men uho are charged rih no crime
at all!
Such an act would so outrage the
moral sentiment of the world, that we
don't believe even JEFF. Davis will dare
to put the infamous threat into e1ecu-
ton.

Food for Reflection,

! A letter written from Columbus a
few days since has this paragraph,
Which we have no doubt is true in every
pal ticular:
GA gentleman, resident of Richmond,
! Virginia, ten years, was here last night.
He left that Secession city on Wednes-
day of last week He had many friends
before the epoch of Secession, but ever
since the war began, has been regarded
with suspicion; has often been grossly
lnsulted, and was at length required
either to leave the city or enlist in the
Southern army. Not being in good
health, he obtained pass to White
Sulphur Springs. Watching an oppor
tunity, he took passage to Tennessee:
made his way from there to Louisville.
and then found no difficulty in getting
beyond the enemys power. lie left
valuable property in Richmond, and is
going to Washington with information

No doubt of it! What could SO ef-
fectually sustain the rebel cause as to
read from our own papers: the violent
attacks which day by day they make
against the Administration? If our
Government is finally overthrown, the
most efficient instruments of the evil
will be these Northern slanderers of the
men who are giving their energies to
the cause of their country.

Esgr'IIow keencr than udders tooth is
ingratitude-'
The St. Louis Republican is now ex-
pcriencing, in all its intensity. From an
odd Line-Whig" Journal of the pro-
slavery stripe, which it used to be, it slid
over by the easiest Of all possible grades
to rampant Know Nothing concern.
and thence to be the organ of Democ
racy in the South West. In all its
transmutations, it has been bitter op-
ponent and reviler Of the Republican
party.
But it has the sense to see, and the
self-nterest to acknowledge, that the
United States cannot and will not per,
nit Missouri to break up the Union
1t sees and acknowledges the power Of
the Union, and the utter madness OF
Missouri's attempt to overthrow that
power by leyying a reasonable war.
And because it says so, it is furiously
denounced as an 'ABoLITIoN' sheet by
papers in Ohio, whose editors are
clamoring for a Democratic ticket, un-
der the sham prefensc that thereby they
will pcrpetuate the principles on ,chich
the Union ,cas founded! Oh! Jemimah!

The Western Indians.

The traitors in Kansas and Nebraska,
having failed to subjugate the people
being no longer backed up by the Ad-
ministration, as in the days of Pierce
and Buchanan-are seeking revenge by
an effort to instigate the Indians to join
them in bloody massacre of the loyal
inhabitants.
The Ottoes acknowledge that at one
time majority of their warriors had
agreed with the leaders of the Secession
lists to join them in their murderous plot
They say, however, that they have now
concluded not to do SO. But the dis
trust and alarm of the inhabitants are
SO great that many are leaving.
A terrible retribution awaits these
rebels.

Where will the Rebellion
Leave us.

! Don't neglect to read the article on
the first page headed as above. 1t is
from the .itiaatic Monthly for August,
and contains one of the clearest and
best expositions of the relations of the
citizens to the State and National Gov
ernments that we have yet seen. The
fact that estate" as such, cannot COM
nit treason, or rebel, or secede, or
change the relations of the people to the
General Government, is made so clear
that no one capable of eomprehending
language can fail to see it.
| The Governor, and Senator'S, and Rep-
resentativcs, and Judges Of Virginia, for
instance, may, individually, or by con
spiracy with each other, commit treason H.
but they are not the estate" 1fcaught,
they may each, or all, be tried, convicted
and hung as rebel traitors, but the
estate is not thereby executed. By
their treason, they simply place them
/ selves outside of the protection Of the
laws of the State and Nation, but can
not abroSate either. The Constitution
still remains, and the loyal people, be
they few or many, constitute the estate, >
and have right to the protection of the
General Government against the rebels,
whether these rebels are Governors and
Senators, or simple unknown rufians.
The article is peculiarly appropriate
at this time, when the true and loyal men
Of Virginia are SO bravely and so wisely
thwarting the schemes of her traitors, by
inaugurating a loyal Government, and
appointing officers to supereede those
who have, by their affiiiation with the
Southern Confederacy, ahdicated the Of
fees to which they were elected in Eir-
sinia as State in the Union. Many
true men sympathized with the actions
of the Union men of Virginia, without
being able to see clearly their legal JUS
tifcation. \ careful reading of the ar
ticle will relieve them of all embarrass-
ment on this score. 1t points ont, with
unmistakable precision, the road through
which the Union men of the other South
ern States may, and must travel, to reach
the reconstruction of the imperiled
Union.

He came there with the same old lies
which he had found so effective in the

destroying their property, disgusted and

cinnati Gazette, reports that the notori-
GUS jenkins was shot by one Of our

We fear this is too good to be true
jenkins is simply highway robber and
murderer With commission from
Jeff. Davis, he has been prowliny the
country, committing depredations that
would have disSraced savage in any OF
our Indian wars. Being man of great
wealth, and some prestige as Member
of Congress, he has called around him
a company of outlaws whom he supports
at his own expense, when they can't steal
enough to satisfy them. Being a terror
to the whole region, we trust the report
may prove true. If not, he should be
hunted to death like ferocious beast.

m- Even Boston has her tories as
we'll as Ohio and the other loyal States.
The Daily Adrcrtiser, of that city,
whose sympathy with the rebels is
scarcely as we'll disguised as that of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, in speaking of the
defeat of our army at Manassas, says
1t appears that with little more
promptuess in the charge of the rebel
cavalry, "Gcneral Schenck's entire brig
ade, aoiA all the cicilians, aoouM hare
been entirely cut of. This tardiness IN
the Soufhe'n charge may be termed our
greatest miJortune" This miserable de-
scendant of the tories of &c has the
cool audacity to announce, under the
very shadow of the sold cradle of Lib
erty," that the failure Of the Southern
cavalry to destroy our men was the
.greotest misfortune of the day!'
1t is becoming a question whether
the loyal citizens will be justifsble in
always permitting these tories to insult
the patriotism of the country by such
exultations at the slaughter of our brave
volunteers, and regret that the massacre
was not greater!
Boston, to be sure, has IN almost
idolatrous devotion to the 'liberty of
speech and the press But whether
she will permit it to cloak treason, is
the question
