loyalty rather than treason. This act gives
the lie to their pretended championship of

edit Democratic paper, but that he was
no Democrat. He adds: ...--.r
1--WE have been voted not a Democrat by
about dozen men scattered in different
sectlons of the country, for no other reason
imam that we have been too devotedly at

the end of rebellion, to endorse and sane

traitors crushed to earth never to rise again.

LAKE Observation-Disclosures SEASON
The country is literally burning up. There
has been but little rain since The middle of
April last, while the weather has been hot
beyond precedent-the mercury having
run up to 95 and 100 degrees above zero on
several days. The woods are almost like
finder box, and on fire in almost every
direction, while every green thing is dry
ing up for the want of rain.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.-We learn by pas
sengers from ports above that on Sunday
last, the stamp mill, saw mill, and several
the Amygdaloid Mine-the fire being driv-
en- or the location from the woods. Some
buildings were also burned at the Penn
sylvanla Mine at the same time.
FIRES STILL RAGING-MoRE DEsTRUC-
TON OF PROPERTY.-The woods in all di-
rections about Marquette are still burning,
there having been no rain in sufficient
quantity to extinguish them for several
weeks. Columns Of smoke are seen rising
on all sides, and the air is at times thick
with the fumes of the conflagration.
We learn that the lumber and logs at the
saw mill of the Messrs. Bacon, on Cherry
Creek, have been destroyed, and at latest
accounts from there the mill was in immi-
nent danger. We have not heard any fur
Their particulars.
Extensive fires have also been raging in
the neighborhood of the steam mill of DR..
Mckenzie, and near Dead river. There
are large quantities Of wood and other
property rather exposed in both these 10
calities, but such forces of men have been
stationed to guard it as, it is hoped, will
prevent its destruction.
Two dwellings on the railroad, near Rub
leins, were burned the other day, but the
amount of loss we have not learned.-Ldke
