THE FIRES.

The latest accounts from Northern Wis
consin report the fire still raging. The viii
lagc OF Peshtego was totally destroyed. For
miles around the country presented one vast
expanse Of fire, giving forth dull, rumbling
sound like the roaring OF the sea- The &C
count says:
People rushed with their children in
their arms for place Of safety, but the storm
Of tire was upon them and envcloped them in
flames. smoke, burning sand and cinders, and
those that were not able To reach the river
were suffocated and roasted alive
Twelve hundred persons persisted in the
flames and several thousand suffered injuries
from which many will not recover
The fire swept over an area Of 3, 900 square
miles.
4 tornado Of fire was raging over North
ern Michigan, destroying everything in its
course. Whole forests have been swept away
in single day, and the destruction Of vii
lagos and loss Of life is almost incredible.
Extensive fires are raging in the woods and
swamps Of Monroe, Niagara, Genesec and
Seneca counties, New York At Rochester
the smoke so eiiectually obscured the light Of
day that it became necessary to light the gas
in the houses.

The Los Angeles Nefs denounces the pro-
ceedings Of the mob Of the oath ult., in
terms that cannot be mlsconstrued. From
all the accounts which we can gather, aided
by the editorial staten ents set forth in the
Nsr', the wholesale lynchng was principally
the work Of "roughs" whose main object
was pllage, and who sacrificed the lives Of
the Celestisls ostensibly in the cause Of law
and order, but really with the hope that their
apparent zeal would serve as a mask before
the eyes of those who would otherwise en-
barrass their pundcrins operations.

A Defence Of Colyer.

A csnting hypocrite, who has not the NOR
al courage to give his name to the public, has
taken up the quill to defend Vincent Colyer
and to yindicate the ou,rsges which he has
inflicted upon the people Of Arizona. We
might have looked with comparative calm
ness upon the efforts Of this crawling, whin-
ing thing, if its home were in New England
and its dastardly whine chanted through the
columns Of New England journal; but such
is rot the case. The Los Angeles Express Is
the medium through which Justice" speaks.
The pivot upon which the weight Of his argu-
ment seems 10 rest is this Vincent Colyer
asserted at Los Angeles that his policy had
the approval Of General Crook, and until
there shall have been gathered sufficient proc:
! to show that this is not the case no blame
rest. with Mr.. Colyer.
To dispose Of this matter it Is not neces-
sary that we individualize the acts OF Mr.
Colyer in Arizona, to find material which we
NAV condemn. His whole course was an ar
bitrary exercise Of authority, as unjust and
outrageous as it was disgraceful to republican
liberty In the next place Department Head
quarters are less than one mile from thi,
Office and hence our opportunity Of knowing
the sentiment existing there should be taken
into consideration. We .aid upon former
occasion, that, when Mr.. Colyer stated, al
Los Angeles, that Gen Crook was in harmony
with his views, he simply stated that which
he knew to be false; and we repeat that his
statement was wlttd deliberate litr-ss Gen
Crook does not believe in C.'s peace" heresy

occasion the slightest doubt TO the contrary

GENEROSITY.

Young Mems Christian Association, Of San
Francisco, regardless Of the wear and tear Of
their pantaloons, ruthlessly flung themselves
down upon their marrow bones and prayed
long and earnestly-yea, with clasped hands
and up-turned cyes-for the homeless thous-
ands of Chicago. They didn't happen to
have any money about their clothes, though,
when solicited for monetary contribution.
