THE PORTLAND F1RE.--It is announced, as
a curious circumstance connected with the
late fire at Portland, that the magnitude Of
the couhagratiau served to some extent as 4
cheek to the progress OF the flames. The
great volume Of heated air rising ca lsed the
cold air to rush in with much force to fill
the vacuum, and on the Northern side of the
city it had the effect Of contrary wind and
blew the flames back.

Mr.. SCHENCK made an appeal 10 the
House in regard to the various army bills
pending between the two Houses. He said
he had an interview with General Grant
and the Secretary of War the other day,
both of whom urged the necessity of a bill
being passed Immediately, as there was a
pressing demand for more troops than can
be enlisted under the present law. It ap-
peared to him that the Military Committee
in the Senate was determined to recon-
mend the action of no army bill from the
House, preferring, he supposed, 10 have the
credit of originating it. He therefore pro
posed with the unanimous consent of the
House, to report back the Senate army bill
referred some time ago to the Committee on
Military Affairs, and moved the House bill
as a substitute for it, and called the previous
question to pass the Senate bill as 80
amended, and then let the disagreements
between the two Houses be reconciled By
the Committee of Conference.


Mr.. sPALDING objected.

A FIGHT AMONG THE BIRDs.-Those
of our citizens who were about the pub
lie square on Sunday evening, witnessed


rather an unusual eight, and one which
shows that the bump of combatiyeness


is not exclusively confined to the heads


of the human family, or the brute crea-


tion. A large owl had taken up its posi-


tion on the vape of the court house
steeple, where il sat in complaeent con-


temptation of the works OF man spread
out in panoramic view below him. A
half dozen swallows, whose perch his
owlship had thus summarily invaded
were observed to fly off in different di-
rections, and soon returned with their
numbers largely reinforced How the
half dozen scouts managed to convey
the information to their companions that
there was trouble in the camp 1t Is or
course impossible even to conjecture;
but at al events they came, and at once
commenced battle that was well worth
seeing. The swallows pitched into the
owl, pecked at his eyes, screeched into
his ears, aud soon made it so exceeding
ly uncomfortable that he was forced to
beat an ignoble retreat, closely followed
by the constantly increasing number of
his assailants. He took temporary ref.
uge on one or two other buildings, but
was not allowed to remain, aud the last
seen of him he was sailing as fast as pos
sible in the direction of the woods in
the north west part of the town, followed
by the swallows-DetroH Post.

discussed section by section: and after


much hair-splltting and much discussion a.
u one cent, more or less, in the passenger
rates, the ordinance was adopted very
nearly as il was asked for by the company
through the president thereof. The ordi-


nance made it obligatory on the company
to complete and have III running order the


main line, from Rockets To Brook avenue,
in twelve months from the time Of its pas
sage. The other lines to bc completed and
to be in running order in two years from
the passage OF the ordinance.


Nearly eight months have elapsed since

railroad, nor would we know that there
was such company in existence, so quiet
are they, but for red sign with Rich

We would respectfully suggest that a

by the company is necessity in our city,
and would urge the company to commence
at once its construction. II they do not
intend to do it, let them give up their
charter, and We will guarantee that an
other company will be forthcoming in

will soon construct and have in run

Both the grade and the thoroughbred
are valuable as life protectors of sheep
They form q strong attachment to sheep
and feed with them kindly. We have
used a three-quarter doe to run with a
lot of merino bucks. The goat brings
them in out of the rain; to a barn yard or
shed of any kind that the goat is used to
sleep in, they will go every night. After
long days ramble they will start for
home, and the sheep soon learn to follow
them. Then if rain comes up in the
night, your sheep are in a dry place. On
open prairies or in new countries, where
wolves attack sheep, where they have to
be brought up and housed at night, the
goat is very useful. They will fight
dogs with the courage of game cock;
sheep soon know their friends.


The fieeces Of the Cashmeres are un-
doubtedly very valuable. Machinery is
being completed in this country for its
manufacture. When this is once in op-
Grafton the breeders of the Cashmere will
reap their just reward.


Mixed husbandry is acknowledged to be
the most profitable, and the day Is not
far distant when focks of profitable wool
bearing goats will be seen on many Of the
stock farms Of the United States. An

The FALL BusNEss-The fall trade Of this
metropolis has opened in an unprecedented
manner The columns of the HERALD are
crowded with genuine business advertisements,
which fact is always a correct barometer of
trade. The vast amount Of advertising, in ad-
dition to The news which we are bound to sup
ply the public with. compels US to issue .
triple sheet daily. Our circulation is increas-
ing rapidly and is equal to all the other morn
ing daily papers Of the city put together. The
business community and oil who advertise are
shrewd enough to appreciate the value Of such
medium for their advertisements. The
HERALD, then, as we remarked, is o correct baro-
meter Of the activity OF trade. From the pre-
sent early indications OF the opening fall busi-
ness we may safely calculate upon a very pros
porous season for our merchants and tradesmen.
In fact the whole country is full Of energy and
business life. Nothing can check our wonder
ful career Of prosperity if the radical political
demagogues In and out Of Congress will per-
nit us 10 have domestic peace.

Butler and Brownlow, Yates and Chandler and
their fellow destructives are there at home
and bolder than ever in their denunciations
Chandler, the blood-letting Chandler, Of Michi-
gan, goes so far as to declare the purpose of
the radical faction to be nothing less than the
impeachment of President johnson. This is
the issue which they present to the people at
last without much equivocation. The House
Of Representatives Is to indict Andrew John
son and the Senate Is to try him on articles OF
impeachment eff he does not execute the
laws of Congress Says Chandler in 80 many
words, If Andrew johnson does not execute
the laws he is traitor, and we will impeach
him.


We may take it as settled purpose, there
fore, Of the radicals, in the event of their sue
cess in these fall elections, to impeach Presi-
dent johnson, first electing some such reliable
fanatic as Sumner or Wade President of the
Senate, to become President for the time being
with the removal of Johnson. What then !?
Then we may look out for such reign Of mad
ness, fanaticism, terror and confusion as will
hurry us headlong to the gulf of bankruptcy
and ruin, financial and political, Union and

SOUTHERN ExrERMINAToN.-Parson Brown
low, of Tennessee, and Ben Butler, Of Massa-
chusetts, one the reprsseptasve radical Of the
south s6d the other the representative radical
of the North, boldly demand the determination
Of the mass Of the Southerners. We mention
these men particularly, because they are
outspoken and do not disguise their ami
mostly and purpose; but the other radical
leaders, as Wade, Stevens, Wilson, Banks,
Chandler, Sumner, Colfax and others, are
equally as malignant and destructive. II is
only necessary to read the speeches of any Of
these vindictive Jacobins to learn the purpose
of the radical party. They hate the Southern
people-not on account Of the war, for they
always did hate them-and nothing will satisfy
these malicious demagogues short Of extermi-
nation. They do not know the meaning Of the
words magnanimity or reconciliation. They
have no more Christian spirit than the vandals
Of barbarous age or the bloody Jacobins Of
the French Revolution. Woe be to the South
and the whole country II these men are per-
mittsd TO rule. We should have . reign Of
terror, civil war and universal ruin. The only
hope We have is that the people Of the North,
and particularly Of the great Central States,
will have common sense and patriotism enough
to prevent such catastrophe by electing to
