FROM BLOOMINGTON, IA.

To the Editor ofthe National Era:
DEAR SIR: A subscriber to and constant
reader of your excellent paper has some doubt as
to the expediency of sending to Congress petitions
for the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law, particu-
larly petitions from obscure places and signed by
but few individuals. Ii is true that if great num-
bers of petitions were sent in, from all parts of
the Northern States, they might make some i'm
preston, by showing the extent of the Anti-Sla-
very feeling pervadng these States; but even
this good might be in great mersure counter
acted by petitions perhaps as numerous, of an
opposite character which we have very little
doubt could readily be got up AS it is, it seems
to me that these petitions merely consume time
perhaps unnecessarily irritate those who are op-
posed to them-without accomplishing any good.
Anti-Slavery men should certainly act in concert,
and by united action make their power felt, and
do something to arrest the retrograde movement
that the nation seems at present to be making. IL
it would not be inconsistent with your views of
propriety, you would much oblige me, and am
sure many others, by giving your opinion as TO
this matter-by showing the proprety or impro-
priety Of sending petitions to Congress and by
recommending what you would consider to be the
best course for the opponents of slavery to pur-
sue in order to counteract some Of the evil result
ing from the unanimity of those who are so har-
moniously united for promoting bad cause.
Yours, truly, w.
Where there is a well-considered movement for
sending in petitions from all parts of the country
at given time, we think they may do good, as be-
ing one manifestation of popular sentiment but
where they are merely local, irregular, with
out concert, it seems to us that they hardly pay
for the trouble of getting them up. In any case,
voting does more good than petitioning which,
unless followed up by consistent voting, is a
mockery.-Ed Era.

chimney in the north part Of the house. burs-
ting out the bricks nearly the whole way to
the chamber floor, and here 1t appeared to di-

and tore up the floor in the chambers, then

below, where there was q stove, wnich was
sent to the opposite extremity OF the room.

around aud some of the windows were also
broken: il then passed through the floor along
the cellar sill and escaped, after tearing nearly
the whole of the plaster from the wall and
sp,intering the stills. One other portion of
the lightning passed down the chimney and
tore up the bricks of the hearth, on which was
sitting a man. leaning his chair against the

were literally broken TO pieces, and, wonderful
to relate, he was not seriously hurt. 1t passed
from this room. in which were fifteen persons.

received such . severe shock that his life was
despaired Of He was monday af,ernoon)
thought to be out Of danger, though it is
probable he will be NAMED for life. 1t then
passed into the cellar. Another portion left
the chamber noticed above, running down the
stairway into the entry below, tearing away
the ceiling in its course, and ripping up the
floor. This passed out of the windows, it is
thought. although so much damage was done
it is hard to get its exact course little girl
