The Jersey Forest Fires.

VINELAND, Sept "a.
The past rains have offectually quenchod
the fires in our swamps and forests, and we
are able to estimate the damage done in
this neigbborhood In Galloway township
about 1000 acres Of young timber, cram
berry .bogs, grape wineries and swamp
lands were burnt over. A tract of land
five miles East of Elmwood, known as the
Bank tract, and owned by Joseph Wharton,
was partly devastated, over 5000 acres OF
young oak, cedar, and pine timber having
been burnt, causing loss of at least $780,
600. On Penny Pot stream, southwest of
Elwood, $500 acres were swept over, be-
longing to Mr.. Colwell loss $4,000.
Between Old Hammonton and Pleasant
Mills the flames went through about 5000
acres loss about $4,000. Other large
tracts have been blackened by the fire, and
many farmers have had their harvests dam
aged. The loss in the sections above de-
scribed is estimated at $780, 900.

Our death column this morning gives the
sad announcement of the deccase of Henry
Warner Erench of Barre. To those who
knew him this announcement will be read
with peculiar sadness, for to know him
well was to honor, to love, and to admire.
The deceased possessed many rare qualities
of head and heart, while, as is often the
case with men of unassuming demeanor,
they were but half appreciated by the circle
in which he moved.
In his death the village of Barre has lost
one of its best citizens and enterprlsing
business men. To him they are indebted
for much of its present business prosperity
and especially for the improvement made
in the past ten years. Deceased was en-
gagged in the mercantile business at the
time of his death IN large and handsome
business block lately erected by himself
He was ever an earnest and interchangeable
worker for the advancement of every social
interest of the town, as well, and he was
always ready to lend helping hand &c
every enterprise that would advance the
interests of Barre in any direction, or thai
of its inhabitants. This trait in his charac
ter must be acknowledged, and with sor
row at this time by those who have bene
| fitted thereby.
He was brother Of James G. French
ESQ.,, of Montpelier, and of the Frencl
Bros. of Chicago, and leaves wife an
daughter to deeply mourn his death thu
early in life.

Unfortunate for wood.

Thursday morning four of Rutald's en-
terprislng young men, viz: Charley Wood,
Bill Lyons and brother, and Bill Smith,
alias Scar Faced Jack, went to the stable
of George Richardson, on Wales street,
and hired his hack and two horses for the
purpose of attending the fair at Brandon.
Before they arrived there everybody was
sober, neither was there place where in
toxicating liquors could be procured. Soon
it became known that liquor was for sale
somewhere and examples of its doings
were frequently seen. Examination into
the affair showed that the liquor came from
the Rutland carriage. Constable III. s.
Buttes was called to the scene, and tht
carriage, as well as the pockets of some Of
supplied with pint bottles full Of thu
| ardent, which they were retailing TO
the-small- of dollar bottle
water thrown in. AS matter of cours
the citizens of Brandon were ndignan
that none of their own people were allowed
to sell while outsiders were doing a rushing
business. As natural consequence al
arrest was made and Charley Wood wa
the victim. For two hours he languishe
in the Brandon Lookup, when after earnes
protestations that he was not the guilt
party, he was released on 500 bail bein
furnished for his appearance at futur
day. Charley being released, the part
soon after started for home, where the
arrived about half past eleven at night, n
doubt feeling thankful that the affair ha
terminated as easily as it did.

The Rebels Of Louisiana.

New York, Sept. "a.
A special from New Orleans contains
long address of the committee of seventy
of that city in defense of the late action
against Kellogg, claiming justification in
consequence of the misrule to which they
allege the people have been subjected. In
explanation of the formation of what is
known as the white league, tue address
states that 1t was necessary to form an or
ganization of whites, because the blacks
had secret organization, into which not
even their own white friends were admit
ted; and the blacks were making such bold
assumptions, solely based upon their color,
that it became imperative TO form for de-
tense of their lives and property. The
committee claim that every peaceful
measure had been exhausted, and they now
appealed to all lovers of freedom in the
whole country for their rights. The ad-
dress concludes as follows:
Friends, countrymen and lovers of free
dom: We make our last appeal to you.
Every peaceful remedy had been exhaust
ed we had borne and forborne, until our
submission was construed into cowarGice
our desolatioii was accomplished, the hum
of industry was stlled in our workshops,
the wheels of commerce were stopped, ag-
rculture languished, capital fled from us,
our taxes were increased until real estate
had become curse instead of blessing.
In the midst of our own poverty we saw
with unavaling Indignation, alien and bank.
rupt adventures grow rich with spoile
wNang from us by every species Of unjust
and oppressive cxtorton. In Our despair,
and in the exercise of what we believed tC
be an inaienable right, we overthrow by
arms usurpation begot in fraud and main.
tainedby force. The power of the United
States has again set it up to be Il task
master over us. Our tale Of misery is com
plcte. Nothing remains but submission,
relieved only by the dim and distant hope
that the sober second thought of this grea
people will reconsider calmly, and conduc
and devise in their wisdom some method o
relief for the unhappy province.

Base Hall Match.

This afternoon there will be match
game of base ball, played on the fair
grounds in this village, between the Name
less base ball club of Rutland, and the
Stars of Pawlet. The occasion will be by
far the most interesting of the kind that has
transpired in this section this season, and
we are confident that it will bring out a
large crowd should the day prove as fair as
yesterday. The nameless have been in
good practice for few days past and
know they have contest before them that
will be sharp and interesting, and contest
ants worthy of their steel. They them
selves claim no abilities that they have not
already shown upon the field while the
Stars are the acknowledged champions of
the state.
Rutland takes considerable pride in her
boys of the ball and bat and will no doubt
show their interest by attending the game
this afternoon. Excellent accommodations
will be given all to witness the game
Ladies are cordially invited to the grounds
free of charge.

A Smash UP.

About one o'clock Thursday morning,
an extra freight left St. Adams for the
south, shortly after the regular freight
left, although it seems no notice was given
of the special, which usually had been
sent out in advance. The first train stopped
at East Georgia to take water, and while
there the regular came up and the grade
being very heavy, and in curve, in the
road, ran into the forward train,
demolishing and throwing from the
track nine of the cars, constituting a
complete blockade. The engine 10 ID.
Hatch is complete wreck. The engineer,
Charles Greenleaf, and the fireman escaped
without injury, the only person injured
being brakeman, and he slightly. The
morning trains we all obliged to "carry
by" and the southern mail was some three
hours late. 1t seems that the accident
was caused through the carclessness of the
| yard master at st. Adams.

Missouri Republican Convention.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. "a.
The republican state convention last
evening adopted resolutions renewing con-
fidence in the republican party; endorsing
Grants administration declaring that
parties founded on race or nationality are
repugnant 10 good government; denoun-
cling the late attack of the legislature upon
the school fund that as the officials of the
opposition party have so misruled the state
as to lead the good men of that party to
seek reform, and as there are more men in
the republican party seeking selfish ends
than to reform abuses in the state, there
fore this convention deem it prudent and
patriotic without making any nominations.
