FIRE IN THE MOUNTAINS. = Frank
Cooper arrived in town yesterday from
Butte Greek. He describes the terrible
FIRE that is raging in the mountains at
the head of Butte, Abiqua, Mollala,
Rock and Silver Creeks, as fearful. On
Tuesday, 18th instant, the same day that
it was so dark and the ashes were blown
on the sidewalks in town, Cedar Camp
was entirely destroyed, and the Gerkin
boys lost everything, including about
fifty thousand cedar shingles. They
fought the FIRE until they were satisfied
that nothing could be saved. The men,
Sam Cornelius and two Riggs boys, at
tempted to make their escape by the
Abiqua route, rs that was the only
practicable way. In travelling they got
lost, as it was so dark they could not
tell day from night, and thus did not
arrive at Silverton until the Friday fol-
lowing, being four days and II half.
This fire made its appearance at the lime
kiln about the same time, burning ev-
erything, green rs we'll as dead timber.
Jacob Bales, who lives ut the head of
Rock Creek, had his barn aud all his
hay burned, hut he succeeded in saving
his dwelling. His loss was about seven
hundred dollars. Mr.. Cooper says that
ut the time he left the FIRE was seven
miles long, aud about Eve or six in
width. It sounded like n storm at seq.
It came within half a mile of his place.
Teams have since been there for lime,
and report that the FIRE had passed by.
None OF the men who were at work ut
that place remained.-Saiem (0regon)

TIE UNITED STATES AND MExIco.-
The London Tines declares itself quite
willing that the United States should
annex Mexico, upon the assurance of
two contingencies. One is, that the fu-
ture peace of the country should be set
tied ; the other is, that the debts of
Mexico should be paid by the United
States. Perhaps these declarations had
better be taken in the INT style as a
lady's letter, the postscript first. The
payment of the debts Of Mexico, espe-
cially those due to British creditors, is,
after all, the most important thing in
this collocation. If that benefit can be
insured, and John Bull can get his
money out Of the country, whether the
peace of Mexico would hereafter be
maintained would be of little impor-
tance to England. Very good security
could not DO exacted for that part Of the
bargain. A simple promise to attend
to it would be quite sufficient, and Mex
leo, with the assent of Great Britain,
might fall into the lap of our country as
easily,'as a ripe apple. It is not worth
while to speculate upon the subject.
There is apparently much more anxiety
in reference to the matter in England
than in this country. When the time
comes for the annexation Of Mexico, if
it ever does come, we will know in the
United States precisely how to deal
with il.

A BERKSHIRE County RoMANcE.-A
young man from Western Massachusetts
on his way to New York on one of the
Hudson River boats, recently made tho
acquaintance Of a lady of middle age,
who seemed much interested in him,
and who ut length told him that he
greatly resemblcd II son Of hers who
had died not longago. Before separating
from him, she gave him an urgent inyi-
tntion to call at a certain number in
New York, which he promised to do.
On arriving at the place appointed he
found that 1t was not the residence of
his fellow-travelcr, but Of n friend Of
hers, who had = daughter of engaging
appearance, but apparently in i'll health.
This young lady, it appears, was the
betrothed of the young a who was
dead. Owing to his striking resem.
blance to the deceased lover, our friend
from Berkshire was received with great
cordially, and was urgently requested
to call again, which he did, md before
he left the city he was engaged to mar
ry the young lady. Shortly after re-
turning to his home word came that his
aflanced, whose health was greatly i'm
paired, was much worse, and he returned
to the city and remained with her until
her death. The young lady had about
thirteen thousand dollars in her own
right, and during her sickness, with the
free consent of her parents, she be-
queathed It all to her intended, and lie
has since come into full possession Of
the entire amount in Government bonds.
Being a poor young man Of excellent
habits, this legacy will undoubtedly be
of great use to him, though it can poor
ly compensate him for the loss OF one
to whom he had become so deeply Mt
tnched under such peculiar circum-
stances.

Cocks CRowISG.-The Democratic
paper in Virginia City, The Safeguard,
this morning came out in n jubilant
article over the result of the elections
in Indiana and Pennsylvania-having
two 6ghting-cock typographical cuts
over their editorial, expressive Of their
great joy at the result |! Really, if it is
q matter of congratulation to our Demo-
cratic friends to hear Of such q glorious
victory to the cause of the Republican
party, W don't hardly see why we
should find fault. The latest returns
plainly Indicate that there is cause for
congratulation by the Republicans, and
if Democrats wish to join in the general
greetings which so plainly point to the
triumphan, election Of General Grant,
we cannot but feel jolly over it. The
Safeguard, however. is slightly mistaken
as to its party having gained thirteen
Congressman in Pennsylvania, and hav-
ing elected in all seventeen. They have
elected in all just eight Congressman in
that State, and gained just tro-as
they had six in the last Congress.
The latest returns from that State,
received this morning, so state. The
State Of Indiana, too, is claimed by the
Safeguard as having gone Democratic by
1000 majority {! Our latest kilograms
from hal region-receired since the
Safeguard vas last printed-show that
it has gone for the Republicans by . 1000
to 5000 majority-and the election of
Hendricks, the young Giant of the
West" is not even conceded-a devil of
a "giant," to fall short that way. Truly,
in the language of the Safeguard, "with
such a result before them, no n will
further doubt the patriotism and intelli-
gence of the American people, and every
true lover of his country and his kind
will exclsim with us-Glory

The Freedmcn's Bureau was organ
lied for the protection Of the emanci-
pated slaves the Civil Rights Bill was
passed to protect citizens and meas
ures adopted to give peace, tranquility,
and n republican form of government
to all the States whose governments had
been usurped by the rebels. Some Of
these measures have been carried out,
others remain q dead letter for reasons
needless to discuss now, and they will
remain q dead letter until General Grant
is elected President Of the United States.
General Grant stands this day before
you the foremost military commander
in the world, with "Peace" rs his
watchword. Why should he not be
elected? What reason has any lover Of
his country for not voting for him? By
his side stands Schuyler Colfax, who,
by his own energy and industry, ad-
vanced from the printing Office to the
Speakers chair, and for three success
sive terms has filed that important post
with honor and distinction. Honest
and patriotic men have been nominated
for Representatives in Congress, pledged
to stand by Grant and the country.

THE XVIII

Ex-Governor Pugh, of Ohio, has re-
Gently made a speech, printed in the
New York World, in which he denounces
the XIyth Amendment as ga. fraudulent
amendment to the Constitution that nerer
ras adopted" He says further:
would not give them a three-cent postage
stamp for their Fourteenth Amendment. It
is not q part Of the Constitution, and It never
will be-. 1t is a base fraud, and I say, as
Frank Blair said, these carpet bag govern.
ments must be oyerthrovn.'
This amendment has been declared
ratified by the Secretary of State, in
accordance with the law. The Chief
Justice of the United States has recently
recognized it as u part Of the Constitu-
ton. But not one Democrat, anywhere,
has conceded its adoption. On the con.
trary, their platform pronounces all the
reconstruction measures, of which the
amendment is enc, as ~usurpations, rev.
ol%utionary and void.
Suppose Seymour and Blair elected,
and the XIVth Amendment o%verthrown,
what would be the effects?
First-The equality Of rights Of every
citizen before the law would not be
secured.
Second-Equality Of representation
would not be secured. And the South
ern States would be represented on the
whole of their colored population instead
Of three-ifths, US formerly, though
it were all disfranchised. Conse-
quently, thirty members of Congress
would be chosen in the rebel States by
virtue of their late slave population,
being twelre more than they ever had before.
The North would then lose twelve rep
resentatives, and the South would gain
them, as the result Of emancipation
And one white rebel voter, voting for
himself and his proportion of the col
ored population, would have nm average
Of one.half more political power in the
nation than a white voter in the North
Third-Eyery rebel would be eligible
to office, no matter what his crimes.
Fourth-C Compensation for slares eman-
cipated, could be demanded.
Fifth-The Union debt would be open
to reputation. And,
Sixth-The rebel debt would be open
to adoption, in whole or in part.
All these questions are closed forever
by the XIyth Amendment. That is the
reason the Copperhsads oppose il so
violently. If you think they should be
closed, vote against the party whose
policy is to reopen all these agitntions,
and create all these risks.

The IssuE.-Ift the Union Republicans
as a party succeed at the ballot-box, we
mean that the Democratic party of this
country shall obey the laws Of the land,
peaceably, ifthey will ; BY force, if they
must! We propose as a party to place
the result of this great political canvass
in the ballot-box. If the Democratic
party succeed in securing a majority Of
the votes in the States Of this Union, we
will, as it is our constitutional duty to,
yield to that party with what degree Of
grace we can, trusting to Providence to
deliver US from the perils which beset
our path. But, judging by the results
Of the late elections, the Democratic
party may just as we'll make. up its mind
noe that the Republicans are going to
succeed on the Sd Of November.

Pour six drops Of prussic acid into a

This differs from our estimate, pub
lishcd some time since, in reckoning
New York and New Jersey as doubtful,
and in putting California and Connecti-
cut down on the side Of Grant. We
have believed that they would 60 for
Seymour, but with regard to Connecti-
cut u opinion is changed. That State
will, in all probability, vote for Grant
by about 1000 majority. California,
too, will possibly be carried over to the
Republican side by the influences which
have operated so decisively in Vermont
and Maine, though we have no positive
data by which to reckon her as sure in
that direction.
The only other points on which we
would now question the accuracy of the
above table, relate to what it calls
doubtful States. Georgia has, we
think, been made certain to vote for
Seymour BY the expulsion of the negroes
from the Legislature, which gives the
Democracy the control Of the registers
of voters throughout the State. New
Jersey, strange to say, is probably going
to vote for Grant, and the vote Of New
York can hardly fail to follow that
which Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana
will cast in October next.
On the whole, it is quite within the
bounds of possibility that the Demo-
cratic candidate in 1868 may carry one
or two more States than gave their
votes to Mcclellan in 1864. He had
three-namely, Delaware, Kentucky and
New Jersey. Of these, the first two are
certain for Seymour. So is Maryland,
and 20, We think, is Georgia. Perhaps
he may carry New York in addition, and
that will doubtless be regarded by some
people as the evidence Of a great re-
action in his favor.
