The wholo of tho Shaudnken Moun? tains seemed ablaze last Saturday night. For miles the country was lighted up with the bright reflection. In the vicinity of Monticello and Liberty Vil? lage the fires oxtend for four miles in several directions... Tens of thousands of cords of wood and tannery bark have been destroyed. The Methodist chapel, the public school house and other build? ings have been consumed at Black Lake. Kamora prevail of. other extensivo losses of property, and perhaps of human life. The flames have surrounded several farms and dwellings on tho distant mountain terraces, and fears ' are en? tertained aa to the safety of the inhabi? tants. The Orango County-Monatains havo also boen bnllro, but not to so great an extent. Tho most extensive of these Conflagrations, was along the Hodson highlands, westward of . Iona Island. Captain- Abbey, of the steamer-Thomas Cornell, and other river navigators, de? scriba the night scenes there as being superb beyond all description. All the North-west hiii-sidea were' in flames, which spread with amazing speed until the tall peaks wero reached. The lurid reflections sent their glare down on the black waters in the river below, and against the sky in every direction. Tho crackling roar of the fire deadened the whistles of the railway locomotives on the bank, and the thundering paddles of the night at?amete, whose white forint were tinged with a blood-red glare. .Hundreds of acres have thus been boral over, bat the showers of Monday arrested tho flames, and the fire now smoulders, possibly to break forth again.

But tho novelty of Mr'. Greeley's reception nt the South lies mostly in tho fact that ont of some hun? dreds of Radical editors who have beeu instructing the people of the North re? garding their Southern fellow-oountry-, men, he is positively the flrst one of any celebrity ever known to penetrate the 'Southern States beyond Richmond at the East, or Louisville at the West. To ; the Southern mind a Northern Badical editor is a greater wonder than a giraffe, or a rhinoceros; for the latter, though uncommonly raro visitants, have ot times made the Southern tour with the travel? ing menageries; whereas Mr. Greeley is tho'first specimen-of his hind who bas ever attempted it. Bat beyond all this, we aro happy to add, in perfect seriousness, there is a be? lief at tho Sooth that Mr. Greeley will honestly report men and things as ho finds them. Should he do so, as wo doubt not that he will, so far as ho de? pends on his own experience, the effect of his visit will be good upon those per? sons who oro accustomed to take their, cue blindly from him.

Armstrong was iu this oity on Saturday, drinking freely, and is represented as having cursed Jeff. Davis, and pronounced Blodgett and tho negroes tho only gentlemen ever in the oity.

A SEA CAPTAIN'S HUMANE ACT PUN? ISHED.-The Liberal Christian has the following anecdote from a gontlcm?n who was an eye-witness of the circum? stance narrated : Tho thermometer often stands for days at from 100 to 117 degress in the Bod Sea, and when tho vessel is with the wind, and traveling at about the speed of tho air, tho lack of nay breeze or ventilation makes life on the steamer almost insupportable. On this occasion four men and two women among tho passengers were BO overcome with tho heat that the ship's doctor reported that they must die if the ship's course wero not changed and a breezo created by tra? veling against the wind. Tbe captain very reluctantly, and in dire fear of bis company's orders, yielded to the cry of humanity, ??d steamed 100 ?xiiles baok on his course. He thus reduced the op? pressive temperature twenty degrees, ventilated his ship, and saved the lives (probably) of six passengsrs.

At the culminating point of the" piece Ibero is a grand engagement be? tween a. band of brigands and a party of sharpshooters, tho former stationed upon a group of rocks, and tho latter on the level ground., Just na the combat was at its height, one of the sharpshooters fell, and-in BO natural a manner that the act waa greeted with ttn enthusiastic round of applause. A moment after; wards, however, it was plain that some? thing bad gone wrong. A oouplo of mon rushed upon the stage, and lifted the body of the prostrate actor, when it was seen th-t ho was lying in a pool of gore. ? Cries and shrieks arose from every part of tho'house; women fainted; and men. jumped upon the stage. ' Mean? while the orchestra continued to play, and many of the performers oontinuod their parts, others rushed about ia wild confusion. .At last tifo manager, palo'as death, came forward,' and his aspect at once hushed the house into silence. An untoward accident (ho said) had just oc? curred, and the'representation must nt once be brought to an end. -*. ^ . t>--- m On Saturday night a negro woman, residing on South Boundary street, Au? gusta, proceeded to fill her lamp while burning.

The woman waa so badly burned that, after H?gering a fow hours in per? fect torture, sho died-another victim to carelessness in handling kerosono.
