BANGOR, MAINE, Sept. 3.
Fire! Fire The fires in the woods continue
to rage, destroying every thing with which they
come in contact. We are told by creditable per.
sons that the whole country from Passadunkeag to
Nj Matanawcook, or both sides OF The Penobscot river,
is one general confagraton--that it appears like
!" sea Of fire. The Islands in the river do not
escape--the Nlatanawcook Islands have been com
pletey burnt over. The distance OF the range
Of the fire on the liver is about thirty miles; the
width cannot be ascertaintd.


We are told by . number Of persons Of seracity
that in the vicinity of the heaviest fire the ground
actually trembled-that the roaring OF the hire which
sounded like thunder, was heard Al the distance Of
IL or 10 miles.


In other parts Of The county the fire has got in
among the settlements. We have it from authority
which leaves but too little room to doubt the fact
that it is raging in Williamsburg, Browoville Sebec
Atkinson Blakesburg. Milo, kilmarnock, Sebos,
and in most Of the unsettled lands in the vicinity
and from reports, it is also doing the work OF des'
truction in a variety OF other places. II is mpn'-
sible 10 compute the damage already done. What
will be most Immediately and severely iet is The
destruction Of houses barns, fences cattle, &C. Sc
Among these latter we have TO state the burning
Of the house and barn OF James Campbell jr in NJ
mernock, with most Of their contents. In Naxleld
the house and barn Of Joseph NIIntosh--a school
house--a house and barn owned by Thomas Dewitt
"a house owned by John Lunt, and one owned BY

tity OF clothing-hc crops and fences Of The above
farms are almost entirely destroyed, and The soil
itself much injured. saw and erst mill owned
by L. Mcintosh, and the mill house occupied by
VIM. Sweat, and barn Of Mr.. Lindsey, IN aeoois'

turning from school, through the woods, was 10

siderable alarm for several houses and barGs
