regard to merit or morals. Of the few who en-

to stand alone. The editors writings are so

For the Gazette

BOT me Gazette.
Mr. Editor-The recent alarms of fire have
again demonstrated to the members of the
Washington Fire Company that their Uggon, or
Hose Carriage some call 1t, Is totally made
quate TO the wants of that company, and to the
interests of the citizens.
The wagon or carriage is heavy, burden
some and inconyenent thing, altogether unfit
for any set Of men to labor with. Any one who
will take hold OF it, can have proof abundant Of
the inadequacy of this machine 10 the purpose
for which it is intended.
On last Saturday, when the company rum
ming, of its members fell completely cx-
hausted with the labor of dragging this concern
to the fire on Main street. The labor required
to get it to and from fires would be better calcu-
lated for horses than men, and is such men
cannot long endure, especially in the service Of
other people. The company is composed of so
so good and efficient men, many of whom are
heavy taxpayers and all voters, and who would
feel proper degree of pride in keeping IN good
order an apparatus that would be worth attend
ing to; but at present all is Encouragement, so
much so that it is with difficulty the members
can be induced to remain in the service of the
Council firemen.
We have repeatedly appealed to the liberality
of our citizens for donations to enable to pro-
cure proper apparatus, and some OF them have
kindly offered as fps, leyies or quarters, while
others tell us they pay tax for such purposes,
and that our appeals onght to be made TO the
Council. Others again laugh at us, and call us
a pack of fools for laboring we do, alleging
that those in whose service we are do not thank
US, as their property is all covered by Insurance
These things are by 10 means encouraging,
and hence We must ask assistance from some
quarter to encourage us TO further duties as fire.
men. Winter is here, and all the dangers of
fire attending it, and we know not at what hour
msy be called on to drag our soul-cases out

tainly it is not asking too much Of the Council
TO furnish US with proper material to work with,
and certainly that council would not be doing an
unpopular act in doing So when the cry of the
citizens is, L" Go the Council"

calls attention to the apparatus used by

SINKING OF 4 TENNESSEE NoUSTAIN.-It is
stated that a few days ago,a portion of Walden's
Ridge sunk, with noise resembling a deep
toned thunder, leaving a huge gap in the timber
that fringes the sides of the ridge, extending
about two miles in a parallel direction with the
top. The gap in the dense timber appeared to
be about sixty or q hundred feet in width, and
the fissure in the earth reached to an unknown
depth, in which trees Of the largest size were
torn up, and enormous rocks which had proba-
bly, lain concealed for ages, were rent from their
beddings and laid bare. The foundation on
which the mountain rests is supposed 10 have

however, was in favor Of admitting them

clared he had supported the compromise.
Yes, he did, in order TO get all the money

cause he was following the lead of Benton,
in order 10 make friends of the Free Soil

resolution. Its object was to satisfy the
country that the settlement which had been
made was final one, and one that the eff
forts of factionists could not disturb. No
opposition would ever have been made TO
it in a certain quarter, if Presidential aspi-
raGons were not entertained there. If
those Southern men here, who instead of
pursuing their course as became patriots
and statesmen, were intriguing 10 catch
Free Soil votes at the North, and if those
Northern men who were catering for Dis
union votes at the South, could be got rid
of, then this resolution would meet with
no opposition. Any man here, who was

Passing to another view of this controyer-

week sustained heavy blow and great dis
couragement in the death of old Raphael,
member for ST Adams. He was most ex-
traordinary character, and, considering his
long life and prominent position in various
respects, it is surprising how little notice the
newspapers have taken of his demise, prob
ably because the obituary manufacturers for
the journals are too much occupied with the
affair of the Pope. Raphael was both mi
ser and prodigal. He almost denied him

uries, of life-and would stand half an hour
