IMPORTANT PETITIONS.

There are two important petitions now before
the citizens of this town, which it behooves every
resident to critically examine. The first relates
TO a proposition TO pay the debt which is impend-
ing the property of the town. and which
hangs like dark cloud of fearful omen over its
advancement and business prosperity for those
who own property cannot hope to induce capital
or trade to centre here, while heavy taxes are
ready to swallow up whatever comes within its
vortex, and having brought the misfortune upon
ourselves, it is but right. proper and manly, that
we should free ourselves from the bonds.
The second is of as much, if not more. impor-
lance than the first as it will materially aid in
producing the results calculated on in the first pe-
tltion it will also give the control of our own
property, secure to us local government, formed
of those who are closely and intimately connected
with us in business and interest, and above all
secure to us the speedy administration of justice,
while it will leave the town and county free and
untrammelled with conflicting interests, to pursue
that system Of measures, which each NAV think
most conducive TO their prosperity and advance
ment. We hope that this latter petition may re-
ceve the unanimous signatures of the town, in
GLIDING all parties. Indeed, it oughtnot be made
party measure, as all are interested in consum-
mating the incorporation.

AMERICAN FACTS.

1t is among the worst omens of the day. remarks
the Philadelphia North American, that we have
in the United States no national feeling no gen.
,tine love of country The traveller in other
lands finds every where the institutions and pro-
auctions of people priced by themselves, thong h
they may be condemned by strangers. Here the
order is changed. fany work 10 literature, art .
or science, is by an american, it is set down by
mob of gentlemen who talk of such matters as
altogether worthless, or as deserving favorable
regard only on account of its resemblance to some
thing foreign We recite few facts, admitted
by all the world abroad for the benefit of this sort
of people.
Imprinlis: The greatest man, " take him for
all in all, :" of the last hundred years, was George
Washington, nm american.
The greatest natural philosopher was Benjamin
Franklin, an american.
The greatest of living sculptOrs is Hiram Pow
ers. an american.
The greatest of living poets is William Cullen
Bryant, an american.
The greatest of living historians is William H.
Prescott, an american.
The greatest living ornithologist is John James
Audubon, an american.
The greatest living painter, in portIaiture, is
Henry lnman, an american.
There has been no English writer in the present
age, whose works have been marked with more
humor, more refinement, or more grace, than those
of Washington Irving, an american,
The greatest photographer and philologst,
since the time Of johnson, was Noah Webster, an
american.
The inventors, whose works have been produc-
tive of the greatest amount Of happiness to man
kind, in the last century, were Godfrey, Fitch,
Fulton, and Whitney-aU americans
Ifone of these facts or estimates is doubted. we
can prove them By foreign authorities, and so
prevent all controversy.

THE DISMAL SWAMP ON FIRE

This Swamp is again on fire. and has been for
several days. and last evening the atmosphere in
this vicinity was thick with the smoke of the
burning juniper. When, last summer, we ques
toned the correctness of MIR. Espy's theory of
large fires producing rains, we were told that high
winds must not be an accompaniment. Well, we
have the fire without the wind, and yet we have
no signs of rain, for weeks and weeks. Last
night about 9 o'clock the wind came out lightly
from the North and cleared off the smoke. when
the whole southern heavens showed themselves
gorgeousy illuminated by the fires that were rag,
in the Swamp.

CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE.

We give place to the following articles from the
Milwaukee Courier andlNew York Globe and
would say that we mainly agree with them in the
remarks which they have deemed it expedient to
make. Ii is onr opinion, too, that Messrs Blair
< RIves, who occupied so prominent position as
the administration organ at Washington some
years since and have made a golden fortune by
the especial favor Of the democratic party should
now withdraw. They have had their day, and
no true democrat ever harped at the success
with which the Globe met in those days Of her
good fortune. Now that they have, by special
contract, given to the proprietors of the " I'm
ion" their succession in the newspaper business
and their special good will, we think that their
attempt to compete with them in the pubca-
ton of a " Cong essional Globe" and in the pub
Tic printing. as some say is their intention, is not
altogether fair and honorable.
In this matter, we hold it to be the duty Of the
Democratic members, at Washington, to sustain
the Union They should faithfully stand by the
central Democratic organ of the party, and enable
1t to strive successfully against those who seek 10
destroy IT'S Influence Mr. Richie is an old and
gallant soldier IN the Democratic ranks. has not
been blessed with any adequate remuneration for
his services, is now doing his duty faithfully, and
will, we trust, be duly remembered by the Re-
publican party in Congress
