The Michigan Fires.

From the Grand Rspids (Mich) Eagle.
Further news shows that the fires In
the woods are more extensive than was
supposed could b possible, 20 much had
burned over before. About Kalamazoo
the damage has not been great except to
growing timber, because Of the efforts OF
the people to stop the flames; the fires
are yet burning there, and the Telegraph
states that the sky Is all illumined every
night. Between Detroit and Pontiac
quite large tract of country has burned
over and is burning yet. The people
Of Romeo were obliged to fight fire
all day Sunday. the ed. Near Battle
Creek, Hamlin's Marsh was on fire, and
the railroad bridge near it was saved
only through the great exertions of the
neighboring farmers. At Ypsilanti fires
are reported all about the city, and
several buildings burned and the smoke
has been so thick in Adrian that 1t could
be "cut with knife"
The woods in Lenawee county are on
fire in many places, and the damage to
crops. timber and fences is great. New
fires are said to have commenced at
| several points IN Van Buren, county
At Galesburg there has been some con
siderable damage, which was increased
by the burning Of an unocoupied dwell
ing, undoubtedly the work of an incen
diary, intended to distract the attention
of the inhabitants while other portions
of the village were burglariZed or set on
fire.
Last Friday and Saturday, Goth and
2lst, were terrible days in Monroe coun.
ty. A large number Of houses, barns.
and two or three mills were burned In
London and Milan townships. Large
quantities of hay and grain were de-
stroyed; the many miles Of fence burn
eli are hardly thought Of, 80 great has
been the destruction of other property.
The people fought fire until completely
exhausted, and at length had to send to
other towns for help, or abandon their
efforts.
Cass City, In Tuscola county, Is said
to have been entirely burned, and in all
! the country between there aud Gage
vile, about fifteen miles distant, scarce
ly a building 10 left standing. Many
shingle and saw mills were burned, and
| tho destruction Of homesteads in the
whole county is almost general. In La
peer county = dozen or more houses and
barns and the crops in them have been
burned, and the fires are not out.
The dry weather continues. The
smoke helps to dry up the woods and
buildings even faster than the sun, and
the danger Is constantly increasing.
Nothing but constant watchfulness and
care will save many Of the residents of
this and other counties from losing their
houses aud other property. Look the
danger squarely in the face, and he
prepared for it.

PrInciDle AGAINST POIiCy.

If the policies of the revolutionary, radi
cal party, which tend directly toward the es-
tablishmentof military despotism, are des,
tined to maintain supremacy, let the last
bIow-the last nail in the coffin-that puts
a quietus upon civil liberty, be struck by
those who inaugurated the revolution The
Democratic party, which is daily being re-
inforced from the ranks of those who have
hitherto acted and voted with its opponents,
cannot afford, at this crisis, to go into the
enemy's camp in search of candidates and
principles. Every true patriot, when the
hour comes-if it is destined to come-that
witnesses the final setting of the sun upon
the civil liberties of the people of this coun,

hands, and proclaim, .

Fiendish Outrage.


The Nashville Republican Banner of the

Last Sunday night n notorious negro
named Paul Tyler went to the house of Mrs
Edwards, near the Nashville and Chattanoo
ga railroad, between the Tunnel and Tan
tallOn,p rofessed!y for the purpose of lighting
his pipe While there he forcibly violated
the person of Mrs. Edwards, in the presence
of Mrs. Howard, and left the premises when
his unhOly lust had been stated but returned
in a few minutes, and threatened to murder
them if they disclosed the foul deed. II,
then boldly went forth toward rantallon but
upon the facts being made known, was ar.
rested by a party of men whose outraged
feelings were with difficulty restrained till
the ladies arrived and identified him Du-
ring the night he was unceremoniously
ushered into another world Such aggra-
waited crimes at the hands of either a white
or colOred man, have always been regarded
in the south as beyond the pale of the law
and meriting summary punishment We
earnestly trust that the present case will not
be tortured into Ku Klux g, utrage"

been committed upon the perpetrator of
which swift retribution was more Justly
