Fires in the Woods. Foreign Hews. The lsia, from Liverpool Aug. 12th, arrived at New York on Friday morning. Vermont State Fair.

The Annual Exhibition and Fair of the Vermont State Agricultural Society is to be holden at Brattleboro, on the 12th, 13th. and 1-lth days of September next. Great preparations are The Nebraska Test. The Bellows Falls Argus, replying to us in rough and unmannerly terms, insists that the Nebraska bill is not a test of Democratic orthodoxy. We bave already quoted the Washington Uniott, tliA nffioinl nrfffin In fclinw that iL IS MIDDLEBURY, AUGUST 30, 1854 virion street, is in ruins.

In this district is embraced an ex-tesive lumber district, and lumber a-mounting to not less than 250,000 was destroyed. The freight depot, machine-shop. Remember That the one grand issue in tho approaching election, an issue overshadowing all others, is, Shall the Nebraska bill be sustained Oa this question, every freeman will give his decision.

Staying away from the polls will show tliat you are indifferent to that gross outrage. A vote for the Administration candidates will be a vote of approval for the leading Administration measure. Argue as you may, it inevitably conies to that result. Your voice will bo counted on that side. Only a vote for Rovce, Fletcher and Bates, for Meacham and the regular Anti-Nebraska tickets throughout, will properly mark your condemnation of that measure.

Only a vote for the regular tickets will tell effectively on the verdict. Which County will have the Banner "Millions roa War, ect not ose Cent fop. Improvement." How long will the American people tamely submit to a veto policy which arrests river improvement and deprives lakes of harbors How long must commerce peridi by blows dealt by an executive arm? If a tithe of this in justice were visited upon the South instead of the North, we should have had to "set up nights to preserve the Union." What we have patiently submitted to for twenty-five years, would have been held by them, as a sufficient cause for disunion in two years.

The village is one of the most lovely in Vermont.

The Albany Evening Journal states that there is a destructive fire raging in the woods in the vicinity of Swanton.

near Lake Champlain and the Canada line On Tuesday it had run along on either side of the Vermont Central Railroad track a distance of more than two miles. Hundreds of trees had burned down, falling across the track, not only obstructing the movement of the burning the cross ties and entirely destroying the track. Passengers have to be carried in wagons eight or ten miles around the fire. Several thousand sords of wood belonging to the Railroad Company have already been destroyed, and the fire was still spreading Serioas apprehensions were felt for the safety of Swanton village." On Catskill Mountain, west of the falls, two large fires have hoen raging in tho woods for several days past. Fears wero entertained on Tncsday that the observatory and boarding house near tho falls would be destroyed.

Even the soil is burning to the depth of one and a half feet. As the flames are driven forward by the wind, trees, both dry and green, are ignited in an instant, and almost as quickly consumed. Several barns in the vicinity of the woods, stored with hay and grain, Lava been destroyed. Apprehensions are entertained for the safety of the town of Hudson. There has been no rain in this section since the 20th of Julyand nil vegetation has suffered greatly from the drouth Every attempt has been made to arrest the progress of tho flames, but without success.

Water cannot be brought to bear upon the fire in sufficient quantities to do any good. Last evening this city was enveloped in smoke from the burning forest. The woods near Painesville, fora mile in length, are all on fire. The Catskill Mountain House was destroyed last week in the general con flagration. A correspondent of the N.

From Troy Times Aug. H'tth. Awful Conflagration in Troy. Immense destruction of property Probable, lots not less than $1000 000 Tiro blocks burned d-ncu and others on fire. All the lumber yards on Front Street burned over.

About one o'clock this afternoon, the large Planing Mill, owned by Mr. Gibson, of Albany, and cccupicd bv George Qniggan, on the south west corner of Front and streets, was discovered to be on fire and although the fire Companies were on the PTonnri in less than ten minutes after alarm, it was impossible to stop the progress of the flames, owing to the large amount of cry lumbe, sha vings, in and about the building. A breeze from the north sent the flames at once to the adjoining lum ber-yard of John G. Buswcll Son, on tho south of Lyman II. Avery, which was on fire at two o.

clock, I he Grocery Store of R. Vanderheyden, opposite the Planing Mill on Iront street, took fire and was consumed. The fire extended through from Front to River streets, and at 2 o'clock tho dwelling house of F. W. Benson, corner of River and Division was burning.

An immense amount of property is being destroyed. We cannot begin to estimate its value. Later and Worse! 2 o'clock, P. M. Alt the property above enumerated is destroyed, together with fifteen or twenty wood buildings on cast side of tront, below division street, and the lumber-yards of Brainerd Cottrell, corner of Liberty and Front streets, and extending east to River street also lumberyards of G.

Tho prospect now is that the fire will sweep everything on River street (west side and some on cast side) below Division stieet. It is the most awful conflagration that lias visited Troy sice 1820 Many of the buil dings destroyed aro brick. A large number of families (many poor ones) are houseless. The destruction must involve a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property. 3 o'clock, P.

The fire is still extending, with terrible destruction of property Two blocks one extending from Division to Liberty, and from Front to River street, including also all the extensive Lumber Yards on Front street, is completely burned over.

The 6 th of September, If every Anti-Nebraska man dors bis duty, will be a proud day for the people of Vermont. Tbe verdict of this State gainst Pierce. Douglas and their iniquitous schemes and machinations, will be emphatic and decisive.

The means in this ease are simple and plain Let every man vote in accordance with his sentiments. Only two regular tickets are in the field Rovoe, Fletcher. Bates and Meacham, on the one hand Clark. Mattocks, Page, and Jewett. on the other.

To vote for any ether men, in this district, for the offices to which these candidates are nominated, will be to throw away your vote. Between these only is the contest. For which will you vote Both candidates for Governor have openly, and in writing, declared themselves in favcr of the prohibitory liquor fc law now in force. In this respect, both are fully and equally committed. The other and paramount issue, on which, fortunately, the election is to be decided, is one on which the position of the several candidates is equally unmis-takcable.

The ticket we support is in tho Bold expressly as the Anti-Nebraska ticket not simply as the Whig ticket or the Freesoil ticket, or any other mere party ticket. It was made up by the union and agreement of men of all parties precisely for this purpose of taking the sense of the people of Vermont on the Nebraska iuiquity. It will be sustained by men heretofore of all parties. Its success will not be claimed as a triumph of any party, but of the Anti-Nebraska, Aoti-Slavery-Extension sentiment of our people. If you are on this side, you will vote for Royce, Fletcher, Bates and Meacham.

You can show your faith in no other manner. You can contribute to a right verdict on this case by no oth or means. Do not fail, then, to vote yourself, and to secure every vote you can influence, for this ticket. possibly you bars determined to support this corrupt, broken-down, and imbecile Administration. Possibly jou LavS Been deluded, by the humbug cry of popular sovereignty," or by threats of Democratic leaders, or by party drill, or by tho possession or hope of officc.iu to acquiescence the outrageous breach of faith perpetrated by the party in power in forcing the passage of the Nebraska bill.

To any voter who occupies this position, it is probably useless now to address any argument. A ticket has been got up for the especial benefit of such. No others can consistently give it their support. In voting for Clark, Mattocks, Page, and Jewett, you vote directly to sustain tho Administration and its measures." With the Adminis-tration, so its official organ has distinctly declared, the Nebraska bill is a test of Democratic orthodoxy These two tickets the bane and antidote are before you The one great issue must dcteriniui your vote. Resist all appeals to party fooling and prejudice, and vote as you believe to be A Fall Vote Should be given for all the regular Anti-Nebraska candidates, next Tuesday.

Let no man stay away from the polls, this year, who can possibly bo pres. ent. And let every man in voting con-rider how indispensable it is, in order to give the greatest importance to his vote, that all who agree on the present alien-groasiug issues should Be United! All petty local, personal and party prejudices should be thrown to the winds. In some eases, the tickets regularly nom inated may appear to many to be unfair or illiberal. Do Dot be drawn into the support of any split-ticket, by sucb real ly unimportant considerations Go Kith the majority, where principles are right, and not scatter and waste your strength on new the same principles, and whom there is no possi bility of electing.

Examine your Ticket carefully, from beginning to end. Do not lose your vote by mistake. For county officers, partieularly, see that the candidates are the regular ones through out, unless you intend to vote a split ticket. Aud consider well the fore you form such an intention. Be early at the Foils, And do not leave until a Town Repre tentative has been elected.

Work Faithfully! Election cemee but oncer a year. Giro it all your effort. made a test by the party in powet. If the Argus chooses to say that the Ad ministration is not Democratic, so be it. Let us understand distinctly that such is its ground.

We know well that there are thou sands of men hitherto calling themselves Democrats, mou who helped bring this Administration into power, who now ut terly repudiate that Administration and its measures. But to be consistent, these men cannot continue to act with the National Democracy and the pow crs at Washington, moreover, have dis tinctly announced that they cannot re tain that connection on equal terms. They are repudiated as Democrats. Fur ther than this, every volo for the Demo cratic candidates, in this State or directly to sustain the Nebraska iniquity. Could that party suc ceed in this State, the Aigus knows the the result would be trumpeted all over the Union as a Nebraska triumph.

To say. therefore, that the Nebraska measure is not a party test, is porfco'ly idle. Every man who votes the Administration ticket necessarily makes himself an accessary to the repeal of the Anti-Slave-ry portion of the Missouri Compromise, He becomes a supporter of that measure, no less than those' who, in advance, favored its passage. We grant that the Argus is not alone in attempting to shirk this responsibility, where it is found too great a load for the party to carry. The same expedient is resorted to in many parts of the West, where Nebraskaisui is eschewed by the mass of the people.

Yet even there, the Democratic leaders determine that tho test shall be rigidly applied. The reputed organ of Senator Douglas at Chicago Young America) thus disposes of this question, for the benefit of all such recusant Democrats The Democratic Press of yesterday says that certain newspapers and certain members of Congress havd assumerl that the Kansas and Nebraska bill is to be henceforth a test of party foalty, and asks triumphantly hole the right was acquired to prescribe it The Press is not tha only paper a-mong the truants from the Democratic side which makes use of this shift to palliate their secession. The question is easily answered by simply citing the Washington Union, acknowledged as tie National organ of the Democratic party, which expresses its views upon the orthodoxy of the Nebraska and Kansas bill as a lest, in few but comprehensive words." For the Middlebury Register. Whigs To your Duty It may be well for the Whigs of Addison County, at this time, to consider well their duty in the approaching election to be prepared to accomplish it resolutely and effectively. Altboughbe-lieving as we do that a large majority of them regret that a somewhat differently constituted ticket had not been adopted by their Convention, yet, as at that early period many circumstances now known were then undeveloped; as it was then unknown that any out of tho regu-lar Whig ranks were desirous of uniting with them, in this eounty.upon the State or county ticket as a usually consti tuted ticket was accordingly nominated, and tho party bound in honor to its support we believe and hope that no trie Whig will now desert his ticket, and the regular nominations of those with whom he has always fought, to support any ir regular hybrid ticket, however flatter ingly constituted it may be.

We desire aud beliove that the Whig and thoroughly 'Auti-Nebraska nomina tions should receive, as thoy deserve, a full and cordial support. Wo desire a full vote for our Senators of last year, who have received only one election, and' who, by their consistent and reliable course in tho Senate, eminently deserve a re-election. Dr. Warner being upon the Free Soil ticket, will of course re ceive an unusually full rote. Mr.

Jones, whoso name is superseded upon the mu tilated ticket, is one of our very best fi nanciers, and took a front rank among the new Senators of the last Legislature. His influence, by no means inconsiderable, was always reliably, prudently aud indefatigably opposed to tho schemes of Loee-focoism in every phase and form whieh it showed at tho last session. We know the Whigs of Old Addison too well to dream for a moment that they will, in aDj case, now fail to givo an emphatic approval to his course, by hit reelection. The Free Soil candidates for the Bench have also been iudorsed by the Pierce Nebraska Democracy. So Nebraskaisui is, in this case, 'chek by jowl' with Freesoilism, in harmouious concert.

We would not for a moment believe that there was any collusion between certain leaders of the two conventions 1 Will any true patriotio Whig of Addison County give his approial and vote for such a ticket 1 We shall see. JC5E Windiiam County. The Whigs and Freesoilers of Windham County failed to unite on a county ticket, through the management of Locofocos in the camp of the latter, who succeeded by one majority over those who went for union.

As far as ascertained, no fatal accidents have occurred. A Thorough Organization.

Every vote in the County, which the friends of freedom and good government can raise, ought to be surely given at the polU. The occasion is a great one. The Town Committees should be resolute in doing their work. A complete organization is the only sure thing that not a vote be missed, or lured on to the wrong side, by some of the many schemes ot the enemy. An eye open to the great end, aiid clean tickets thoroughly distributed, will uo the work.

Free Press. A Compliment Well Dkskhved. The Enquirer, a paper devoted to Democracy and slavery, after observing the pliant subserviency of Northorn Democracy for years, and the readiness with which their at the north will do the bidding the slaveholders, passes this dubious panegyric the Democrats of the free States. Let theia liuve the foil benefit of sueh praises 'In fact, Northern Deovera3 are the only nsercaicrs, as a part v.

Constitutional New York Herald thinks that in view of the President's Message, vetoing the Kiver and Ilatlior bill, but indicating his readiness to sign b.lls making appropriations for constitutional of the kind, an interesting inquiry wiil arise a3 to what Rivers and Harbors are constitutional, and what are without the pale of the law. We suppose it is settled that the North Carolina riv ers are constitutional; but perhaps this decision will take another form, that they are constitutional in those States where elections are pending. Generally, we think, it will be found that Southern Rivers Harbors are more constitutional than Northern, and almost anything that takes money is constitutional iu California. Prou.

Journal. Suggestive. The Portland Sta of alluding to the present political canvass in that State, makes the following suggestive remarks "One thing is quite apparent that the administration has no party, and very few ardent friends in Miine. The administration of Franklin Pierce has not once been referred to with approbation by the resolutions of conventions or otherwise.since the commencement of the political canvass, and many of its most ardent supporters, at the time of his election, are now in opposition." The secret atttending the drugging of liquor during the late session of the New Hampshire Legislature is out at last. An agent for the sale of guano, who kept samples of his powerful fertilizers in bowls, stopped at Gass's, the old line head quarters, and his bowls of samples got set away by mistake with Gass's sugar bowls.

It is needless to say more as the reader's imagination wiil readily supply the denouement. Home Again. Hon. Geo. P.
