WOODS BURNING.
The Forests Of Arkansas Ablaze-Terri-
BILE Consequences Feared-The
Railroads.

Extensive fires, says the Little Rock
Gazette, are raging in the forests in
every direction. A gentleman who
came Gown over the Cairo and Fulton
railroad tells US that he was hardly out
of sight of burning trees between MOark
and this city. Reports are much the
same over the Memphis road, on which
the train Sunday morning had mar
row escape, running into the branches
of a tree across the track before the engi-
neer could check his locomotive.
The same train was obliged to
stop at another place and extinguish
a trestle-wOTk before crossing. 1t is
feared that many small farmers have
lost not only their residences but their
stock, much of which has been caught
in the burning timber. The fires are
spreading in all directions, and as the
weather continues dry there is no know
ing what awful scenes we may yet be
called upon to record. 1t will be re-
membered that so far this has been q
year remarkable for the absence of rain,
and if we do not have some very soon
it is feared we may look for confagra-
tiOns as destructive perhaps as those Of
last year in Wisconsin.
From the Lonoke (Ark.) Democrat.I
For the last four or five days the
whole country has been kept in con-
slant alarm at the fires spreading
throughout this section of country.
From every part of the county come
reports of the loss of property, and the
high winds prevailing since Sunday
have made the fire more unmanageable.
s. I. Walters, Charles McCraner, Gov
ernor Hadley, Mrs. Hunt, William G.
Adamas, Thompson Brothers, Joseph
Thompson, Mr.. Buck, Robert A.
Neely, and many others have sus-
tanned severe damages to their farms,
and in some instances we hear of resi-
dences and Improvements of every de-
scriptiOn being burnt. Upon the whole,
such destruction to property has never
been known to be caused by fires in this
country before. Some poor people are
left without homes or necessary apparel,
as well as food, in the midst of winter
that, judging from present indications,
will be very severe; while those who
have their homes left are lily able to re-
pair the damages to their farms while
money is so scarce. The fire is still
spreading, and we cannot say when it
will stop. The loss the county has
already sustained cannot be conjectured,
but it is very great.

WAR IMMINERE.

The news i'm regard TO the Cuban inn
broglio which we printed yesterday
morning was quite exciting. Pre-
parations at all the navy-yards con-
tinue on a scale commensurate with the
determination of our government TO
exsct reparation in some shape for the
capture of the Virginius and the muir
der of her crew and passengers. The
secretary OF war is putting our coast
defences In order, and We may soon eX-
pect to hear that the artillery forces now
manning them have been increased to
war strength. The Spaniards are not
a day behind us. They, too, are prepar-
ing for the last extremity. Carlists,
intrAnsigentes and republicans are unit
as TO holding Cuba, and it is expected
that the cut-throats of Cartagena viii
surrender the ironclads to the CASTELAR,
government, and that all classes on the
peninsula will unite for the defense of
Cuba. Our minister has again
been threatened, and fears are
entertained that he will be driven from
Madrid before negotiations can fairly be
entered upon, certainly before congress
meets to declare its purpose in the prem
ises. War seems imminent, more so
than at any period since the massacre
Of the unfortunate Cubans, Americans
and Englishmen, for it will be seen by
the telegrams of to-day that President
Grant means that and nothing else.

Among the causes argued in the SUI
preme court, at Knoxville, last week, was one
involving the title 10 the house and lot IN
which the family Of the late Judge Nelson re-
sides. on Cumberland street. The property
was sold under an execution Issued from the
circuit court of this county in 1864, while
Judge h. i. Hall held his commission from
Andrew Johnson, military governor OF the
state, as the property OF W. g. Kain. About
one year ago, Mr.. kain went into the circuit
court and moved TO proceed In the original
cause as though IL had not passed to final
Judgment. Judge Hall refused to entertain
the notion Kahn now applies for a nidHda-
mus to compel him TO do so, alleging that his
action as Judge, holding under Johnson as
military governor was void, as Johnson was
NOT laWIuuy governor OF the state. The
whole question OF the validity of the Johnson
state government, viii be passed upon in the
decision OF this cause.
Engineer Louis Kell, of the Missis-
sippi Central railroad, who was in charge Of
the engine that run over a stranger near
Grand junction, last week, was arrested in
accordance with the verdict Of the cOrOner's
jury and taken TO Bolivar for trial. The Jack
son Wing and Tribune says OF Mr.. kell ::
Louis Kell Is sober, upright man, highly
esteemed by all who know him, and one Of
the very best engineers on the Mississi ppi Gen.
tral railroad, which is saying great deal
That he could have been WillfulIy guilty Of
such crime; that any carelessneSs on his
part caused the tragedy-no one acquainted
with him can for a moment believe. Such
deaths as the one met by this unknown man
are common. Louis Kell is too good and true
a man 10 be guilty Of any such crime, as the
one with which he is charged. Here, where
he IS known, he can give a bond Of one hun
dred thousand dollars If Unnecessary. The COM
pany he serves will not desert him, but Will
spend thousands OF dollars rather than see
him the victim Of ignorance, or misconstrued
duty"

Washington telegram to the New York Tri-
bune.l
EX-President johnson, on being asked
for an expression of his opinions con-
cerning the Spanish outrage, manifested
hesitancy in allowing them to be made
public, for the reason, he said, that he
might be deemed officious, especially by
expressing his views concerning the
proper policy of the government in ref
erenee to the subject. He said there
were two parties interested in involving
the United States in a war with Spain
one anxious that the navy should be In
creased, the other desirous of in-
creasing the army. MIR. johnson
said if the navy was inefficient, the
proper and usual course should be taken
to strengthen it, but not under the pre-
text of going to war with Spain. Like
wise, additions to the army should be
brought about without ascribing the
reason for the increase. Cuba, he be-
lieved, should have been annexed to the
United States many years ago. Her
commerce, the inclinations of her peo-
pie, and the situation of the island, all

toward the protection of the United
States. This had been delayed twenty
five years through the designs of reck-
less class of adventures, and their ac-
tions had done much toward increasing
Spanish opposition to ceding the island
to a foreign power. War with
Spain would entangle our COM
merce with innumersble complications.
1t would subject it to the prey of pirates,
and its facilities would be hindered
through letters of marqne. During the
late rebellion our government was al
ways very jealous of interference by
other powers, or any attempt in favor Of
granting belligerent rights 10 the south
We blame Spain, he said, in precipitat-
ing action in reference to the fate of
those captured on the Virginius, yet
there is 8 demand that the government
act with equal haste In obtaining re-
dress for what has been committed. To
his mind war with Spain was a serious
question, and demanded much consid-
Grafton. The subject should be weighed
carefully and with judgment. He dep
recated any undue haste, and believed
the Spanish government would act
justly in treating with the United States
in reference to the execution of the
Nirginius captiyes.

damp seat in the road, leaving Colonel
FalcOner standing cn his head with one
foot in the air and TIE other nearly
there, his beaver in his hand, and his
martial cloak about him, and rushed
ahead to hail the horse. After all was
still and the count was taken, the loss
summed up thus: Both were wet,
clothes soiled, bodies bruised, horse an
safe anymore, buggy almost demolished,
themselves detected, demOraliZed, and
ten miles from home, nearly dark, and
no way to get there, and no insurance
on anything. Their thousands of friends

in town the next evening at four O'Clock,

nIoreY District.


From Perlia Rowell, who has just returned
from a ramble among various districts, We
gather several interesting items respecting the
mining sections which he visited. The most
remarkable of the o~re-producing region seems
Just now to be that of Morey District. We say
remarkable, as, by the specimens shown us from
the Magnolia mine, belonging to a New York
company and in charge OF Major Ogden, we see
three distinct and separate characters Of mineral.
At the surface we are shown yellow chlorides.
evidently base in their character, and Of but
little value for reduction purposes next we
como to a specie Of antimonial silver ore, Inn
pregnated with pyrites of iron and at the depth
of 80 feet in the shaft sunk find quartz with
horn and ruby silver thoroughly mixed in. This
is certainly the most remarkable formation 1t
has ever been our lot to examine, and shows,
contrary to most ore deposits or veins in that
section, richness at depth. Mr.. Rowell informs
us that the material and lumber for q mill are
already ON the ground, and the construction Of
the same will soon be commenced. 1t is with
pleasure we record the success of the company
having this work In hand, as they have persist
emily stuck to it during a long season of ADVERSE
ty and expensive operation.
Our informant also visited Hot Greek, and
met our old friend DR.. Galley, 80 well and
deservedly known as the sage-brush poet. All
the mining districts passed through are showing
we'll, and the developments made promise to
make the coming season one Of unparalleled
activity In mining circles.

THE PEERLESS CHAMBER.-rhis remarkable
body Of ore in the Eborhart 4 Aurora. which we
have before attempted to describe. shows no
signs Of giving ont. on the contrary. Is daily in
oreasing in size. The quality of ore taken there
from is superior 10 any we have seen on Treasure
Hill since the famous Eberhardt days. Mine
Superintendent Potts is now working eight shifts
of men in this one locality, and the daily product
is sufficient to keep the Stanford mill in con-
slant operation. 1t will not surprise us If this
chamber does not exceed in extent aud richness
anything ever found on Treasure Hill.

McClain, while driving a pair of spirited horses,
came near losing his life. The horses became
frightened near the head of Main street. and
dashed furiously down the street. the buggy
finally striking the corner Of the New York
Bakery. One of the horses was thrown down
against the side of the building, which allowed
time for Mr.. McC1ain to jump out and thus
escape severe injury. We understand the gentle
man is not badly hurt.
