A GREAT FIRE IN EATON.

Our readers in general must have
heard of the great loss of property
sustained by Mr.. Morrow, Of Eaton,
by fire, on Thursday, tho End inst.
The fire is said to have originated
in a spark from q locomotive being
blown on to o stack near the track.
Between forty and fifty stacks of
Flax, the greater part of the ma
chinery, the roof of the buildings,
and part of the walls, were all de.
stroyed. The damage done by the
fire, to Mr.. Morrow, cannot be less
than $4,000. The town of Eaton,
and the whole of Preble county,
have sustained a great loss by this
terrible and destructive fire. We
think that every man in the county
should come forward at once, and
also the Board of Directors of the
Railroad, to subscribe checrfully
and largely, to make up a great
part of MIR. Morrow's loss. Why
not? the thing can be done, and it
ought to be done forthwith. Gen
80. - r. 20 = ~ ....
tlemen of Eaton and Preble county,
take up the subjeCt-form your
town aud township committees
start a subscription worthy of your
selves, and let there be q careful
and systematic canvass made
throughout the town and county.
W. have been requested to say
to all fax growers in the county,
that they may bring on their fax
to the old stand at once, or keep ii
back for a few weeks, and MIR,
Morrow will be on hand to attend
to the business.
W. are happy to add, that the
rebuilding of the burnt property
has already commenced. Mr.. M,
is a good and sound citizen, and an
enterpris:ng man; let him be gen.
erously and cheerfully sustained,
by q liberal public. --

DEuOCHACY AND DIsUNION.

There is somewheresa legend of fondly
foolish father and mother who resolved that
their infant should never want or ask in vain
for anything. This went on very well for a
limo, but at lest the child saw the moon
through the window, and wanted i. TO put in
its basket-cOuld not be gratiied cried
itself to death. Had it been taught to govern
aud curb its desires, it might have lived, not
quito 90 fast, but much longer.
The Democratic party for long time got
on very swimmingly by acting Oh the simple
rule Of letting the Shareholders have whatever
they saw fit to demand. Suppression Of the

So long as only "niggers" or /" Black Republi-

hesitate. At last they demanded Disunion,
which was just the one thing that even De-
mocracy could not Afford to concede. There
were symptoms Of coOlness directly.

by insisting that tho Rebellion docs not mean
what it says. 1t is only "AbOlitOn rule thai
the South wants to escape from--only put the
Democrats back into power, and all will fall

The South-that IT, tho Rebel chiefs-hate De.

They mean to shake themselves clear Of de.
grading association with "mud.sils" as well
as with negro-lovers, and have Government
of their own, based on tho ownership of Labor
by Capital. All the Woods and SeymOurs on
earth cannot charm them back into the old
ways. They have struck for independence,
and unless thoroughly beaten, they will take
nothing else.
Tho triumph Of Seymour and Toucey in
Connecticut will BIO understood BY them-and
with good reason-as q leo gun fred by the
North-a signal that we give up the contest
for the Union. That will be q mistake-a
bloody, fatal one-but they will certainly
make it. TOucey and Seymour, they will
plausbly say, have always opposed tho War
for the Union-have neither equivOcated nor
kept silepce-have condemned every step taken
with intent to make them return to loyalty.
They are openly on recOrd--they have no idea
of restoring the Union otherwise than by
begging the Rebels to come back and govern
Us on their own terms; and they have plainly
declared that they will have nothing to do
with US on any terms. How ean the Rebels,
then, understand q vote for Seymour to be
other than q vote to acquicsce in Dsunion
