debt Of admiration and gratitude to-
which my poor voice can give but a
feeble expression. You have under
taken the noble task of showing the
people of the North that the slave
holding States themselves contain the
elements of regeneration and of de-
monstrating to the South how that re-
generation can be effected. You have
inspired the wavering masses with

The Great Eastern in Trouble.

Since the great Cape May swindlc,
the steamship Great Eastern has been
falling into disrcputc. To add to
the troubles Of the proprictors, three
heavy law suits have been commenced.
The first of these suits is brought for
engaging in the coasting tradc-thc
penalty for which is the forfeiture of
the vessel. The second suit is by the
City Of Portland for the non-fulfllmcnt
of contract in relation to that port
damages 100000. The third is for
an alleged violation of patent in the
use of the screw combined with side
whccls-damagcs $4,000. BY the
time the end of all these suits is
reached the stockholders of the badly
managed Great Eastern will be com
pletcly ruined. The last suit against
the Great Eastern was on Wednesday,
18th inst, when the Sheriff took pos
session Of the vessel for the supplies
furnished for her Cape May excursion
-S270. The requisite bonds were
given, when she was discharged, and
the same day she hoistcd anchor and
steamed away for Halifax, and Milford
Haven, the southwestern port Of
Wales.

PRAIRIE FIREs.-Wc have, in two or
three instances, noticed fires near
town within the last few days. which
have caused much alarm among per-
sons owning property in the vicinity.
One fire was caused by a man at hay
ing, who undertook to burn wasp
nest, and burned half dozen tuns of
of his hay in consequence. Another
fire was set by man letting fire fall
from his pipe while moving. Owing
to the dry weather, these fires burn
in the turf and bog Of the sloughs,
and all efforts to cxtinguish them
have and must prove unavaiing. The
fire will live there for several weeks
or until drcnching rain. A high
wind would at any time arouse these
fires and spread devastation and ruin
far and near. The stacks of grain.
hay, and even the growing crops Of
corn, &c, are all in an exposed condi-
ton, and the products of the farmers
hard toll arc liable to be swept away
III a moment, at any time, should the
fires once be started. Let every one
observe the utmost caution in this
matter.
