A STORM BREWING-LooK QUIT

We were surprised to hear, on Monday last.
that petition has, for some time, been in car
cula,ion among the people, asking their sigma
lures to authorize the Legislature 10 empower the
County Court to levy another tax OF $4,000 u
on our citizens, for the benefit Of the Rail Road
We hnted some few weeks ago, that such {
proposition would, most probably, be made; but
we had no idea at that time, Or since, that the
friends of the measure would seek to accomplish
their purpose without consulting with the peo-
pie. Common Justice would have required
that such course should have been pursued.
Now, when it is known, and was publicly de-
elared at the last Spring election, BY all the ad-
vocates for the tax that another call would NOT
be made upon the people other than that to
which they were then asked to give their sane
tion, and to which they responded IN SO confid-
ing manner, believing the statements then
made to be in good faith, no surprise need be
felt that this second call has aroused the ndigna-
ton of the country people. They ask with what
propriety can we be appealed to again, and III
the teeth Of statemen,ssto the contrary. Besides;
it was taking an undue advantage OF those who
are opposed to another levy, and one which was
we'll calculated 10 excite their prejudice, and will
now, certainly defeat the object aimed al-as Ii
ought to do Why move along secretly among
certain folks and say nothing TO others The
whole movement was wrong--tha people ought
to have been consulted-but it is too late now.
We have heard many persons, friends OF the
Read, who voted for the tax and subscribed Tor
stock say, they will not give another dollar IN
the shape of tax-and we have heard, toe, that
many say, hey will never again vote for a
candidate for the Legislature who lives in saun-
ton This will be terrible news to some aspi-
rants for legislative distinction who reside lit
this ancient borough and we hope the country
people will carry out this Observation-Disclosures
Of the small fry politicians might think the IN
teres,s of the county would suffer unless they
were consulted but we think differently In
teedswe should be glad to see two OF our respec-
table Farmers representing Augusta ccnnty IN
the Legislature OF Virginia. Il has been init
mated, too, in relation to this new petition, that
the object of the fuss lately kicked up In. this
place. about another matter, was 10 get the
country people to take sides in a town quarrel,
and while wrangling about that, the petition
would be presented TO the Legislature and law
passed to tax the people before they were aware
of any such movement. We.only give what we
have heard, remarking, that the opinion, at the
commencement of the quarrel, was general, that
its originators had.some sinister end in view
The people may draw their own conclusions, and
we again warn them to watch the FIFTEEN
SHILLING CLIQUE and 'subservient press"
Mr.. HuGH GUTHRIE, we understand, has gone
to Richmond, with its counter memorial, and it
is not likely that the new scheme will be carried
out, at present. 1t has defeated itself.

The Railroad Celebration at Burlington.

The Burlington Courier, of last week,
states that the Railroads and Steamboats, are
to make arrangements to bring the people
from abroad, who attend The Railroad Jubi-
lee, to that place, on I'uesday, (the 25th)-
the celebration not commencing until o.
clock T.. M.,-and to carry them away on
"Wednesday.
The Railroads will both send out trains at
n very early hour, say three or four o'clock,
on Wednesday morning, so that. in case OF
great rush, such MS we believe there will
be, many can be set DOM at Nergcnncs,
Middlebury, Richmond, Montpelier, Shell
burne and other towns on the lines within
an hours run Of Burlington. We are au.
thurzcd to say that the Chanpldin Trans
portation Company will have boats enough
ut the wharf to accommodate a thousand per
sons who may desire to 20 to bed, rather than
participate in the ball in the Pavilion.
The Courier further says:
Those who DO not intend TO buy ticket
and 20 into the Pavilion, will probably no,
find much to interest them except the town
and the scenery, unrl evening, when, We
learn, there is to be a display Of fire works
Although the meeting for speaking &c, i.
TO be holden at three o'clock, no person will
be admitted within the Pavilion at any time
without a ticket. This, we think, ought tt
be distinctly stated, 10 prevent any chance
of misapprehension.
One word more and we have done 1t j
distinctly understood that neither the Cen
trial nor the Rutland and Burlington Raj
Road Company has any participation in no
assumes any responsibility in relation to thi
celebration, in its corporate capacity. Til
is rendered proper, and not only proper bu
necessary, by various considerations nc
nccdiui now to enumerate. But there is Ia
need of their official participation. Til
citizens and friends of the Roads are goin

hook, and the Roads manifest abundm
friendship TO the operation by reducing .he
b fares for Il week, before and after that tint

MHssRs. EDiToRs Some time since
all account appeared in the Chronicle of
a Mineral Paint invented by MIR. s. b.
Spaulding of Brandon. Interested IN
all improvements which promise To be of
substantial utility to the community, |
have taken pains to examine this lnyen-
ton of Mr.. Spaulding and being sat>
sied that it possesses merit, have cho-
sen this method of asking for it the at
tenllon of the public.-The great object
aimed at, aud gained by the inventor of
these paints, is dUrGbiHtV. The want
of pigments, for outside painting capa-
BILE of sustaining exposure without being
faded or otherwise impaired has been
too severely felt 10 need remark. This
want, Gas above minated 1t has been
the effort of Mr. Spauldirg to supply.
For this purpose he investigated the
chemical constitution of all native pig,
menls, especially those most remarkable
for durability under the influence Of ex-
posure; aud availine himself of the prin-
ciples pursued IN the laboratories of ma
ture for the production OF natural paints,
he instituted a series of experiments, the
result Of which he now s1bmils TO the
Judgment of the public This result is

tuition of which is such, that SO far from
being impaired by the action OF the
weather, it grows brighter and better the
longer it is subjected to exposure. Nor
is the additional cost Of paints prepared
by the use Of this mineral ingredient, at
all proporiionale toihe advantages which
il offers. Indeed il is exceeding cheap,
when il is considered how small an a.
mount is requisite for given quantity
of paint; for although the mineral prep
araiion is expensive, yet. an amount SUI
ficient for 100 pounds of whitehead, put
up in convenient aud portable can,
can be furnished for the small sum of
two dollars. In addition 10 great va

vcnlion to be held on the 18th inst. The
Delegate plan recommended by the Com

quartet, and we, know not how fair repre-

similar method. The great objection 10
nominations by mass convention is, that
the different parts of Tho County will not
have their due influence, and it would be ca
sy for one or two towns 10 control all the
nominations
No town, we trust. will fail to send its full
number of Delegates, and as many more as
they see fit, We want full and spirited
meeting. The campaign must be opened
with zeal and vigor. There is much at stake,

the part Of the Wings may be fatal to oul

Phillips, Sampson Co. 1860
We are indebted TO the Author for copy
of the above-a pretty volume of about 100
pages. The several pieces which ii contains,
as we learn from the Publishers Note"
were the productions chiefly of boyhood, and
as such are creditsble TO the writer. This
lddS verse ha, in general musical flow,
has few marked faults, and discovers, occa-
sionally, real aud intrinsic beauties.
The following was composed in tho Au-
thors twelfth year.
With n sad and melancholy tone
Der the hills and wales the night winds sweep;
Der silent dells and mountains lone,
And forests deep.
Away. away the leaflets fly
Emblcms Of the departing year
Soaring in the dim blue sky
They disappear.
| The flowers arc dead that bloomcd in Spring,
The birds have flown the ioylcss vale,
And streams, once glad, are murmurng
A mourniul tale.
When few more years have passed away,
When a few more joys and grieis we've
known,
To us will come solemn day
Autumn. our own
Shadows is one of the prettiest pieces
in the volume-and will, with the preceding
give our readers good idea of the whole
collection:
Shadows on the ceiling,
Shadows on the floor,
Shadows where no shadows were
In the days Of Yorc.
Shadows in the window,
Shadows in the hall
Shadows where the sunbeains
Used to brighten all.
Shadows on the river
That so gay flowed
Sparkling in the sunbeams
BY the winding road.
: Shadows in the meadow,
Shadows in the vale,
Where the blre-eyed violet blooms,
And the lily pale.
Shadows, shadows everywhere,
That may neer depart,
But the deepest shadow Ii
