Editors Chicago Tribune;
You haye already, doubtless, had coInuuni-
cations from different sections Of the country
relative to d supposed meteor which Waited US
last night !. but it Is desirable to COM
pare the views and observations Of as many as
possible, that the eavaus Of your city may nc
curntely determine It's precise nature. On the
morning of the 11th, about three o'clock,
an exceedingly brilliant illumination Of
the sky was observed, which ]asted several
seconds, aud wns followed by a sharp, trench
dous explosion, ycry much like that Of can-
non or the bursting of steam boiler, only
moro powerful, which startled people from
their sleep. It was much more powerful and
sharp than the explosion Of the steamer Globe
recently in Chicago. Some supposed it to be
thunder, but the long, permanent, intense
light, and the coldncss of the weather, forbid
that conclusion although it was followed by
loud, deep rumblius sound that gradually
died away. Others, with your correspondent,
supposed 1t to be meteor, and this opinion
was confirmed by at least one individual who
saw from his window body sf light tr:1ycrsc
the skies. The circle of its observation was
too great for q thunderbolt, having been heard
for sixteen miles cast Of here, and many miles
west, md, presume. in your city Perhaps
this year is to be sisnalizcd by disturbances in
the atmosphere as well as in the political sky.
Yours truly, II. E. PETERSON.

But by does the Senator from Kentucky seek to
overthrow the compromises Of 1ssot Why seek

The once distinguished colleague, now deccafed

the Senator now proposes to do what Mr.. Clay d.
c1ared no power under God could induce him to do.
Why nos settle this matter: The Republicans
have had no power to dan,age yuu. The South has
hsd all the control. and Il things bave xop: wronS

ehe was compelled to cause her laws 0 be re-
poHcdto Congress, SO that Congress could revise
them.
There arc many objections to the propositions of
tho Senator from Kentucky. He proposes to effect
constitutional amendments In an Unconstitutional
way. and contrary to the DIVISIONS of that instEu
uaent. lie proposes to amend BY majority vote,
when the Consultation demands twothirds. Mr..
T's method Of saving the Union Is not to Yield to
maintain The Constitution and enforce thc Law m
der It. and then, when the States which hare taken
our forts and vessels and atseuals hare given up
opr property and returned under TIE Constitution,
lie does not bcicyc there is realIy any cause, but
the Is, let It be shown and corrected. He believ

not attempt its cultivation at once. With
only q very little more trouble here than
in the vicinity Of New York, they can be

growing now three: seasons, and the past
two they have ripened their tempting
fruit. Although my expectations were
sufficiently high, they have been fully re-
allied as to the favor, great size and abun-
dance of:fruit. They sre profuse bearers,
to an extent that excites the surprise Of all

culture than many choice fruits. and re-
quire but little care. 49,. '>...:5:a'
