But there is another thing we should like to see, and that is, that our citizens should take more in terest in encouraging and sustaining those who aro " Ever ready when duty calls," and who when occasion requires, peril life and health in protecting their property. We have actually seen men,—and men that could as well afford to give $5O as most of the members of the dif ferent companies can afford to give that many cents,—refuse to give one dollar for a ticket for the Good Will's Benefit Ball last win ter, saying that he had the week before con tributed _fifty ce»ls to the Columbia. Now, Eifel% encouragement is neither generous nor just. The public spirited young men who eon• stituto the fire department are generally me chanics and worldngmen, whose limited means will not enable them to supply apparatus ren dered deficient from lung use, and our citizens. ought therefore to contribute liberally. Our only safe guard in times of conflagration is an efficient fire•department, and it should be our object to increase rather than diminish the effi ciency of the fire organization. TTecexsity of Lighlninfi ROli4 A large number of fires have ()retired from lightning the present season, in Lehigh and the adjoining counties. In some instances, these might have been prevented had proper lightning 'conductors been allbrded to the buildings. , It may perhaps be well to state that a failure to have lightning rods vitiates Insurance Policies, and we would advise persons who have their property insured id sec to it that they are properly guarded in this respect.', The ,prop erty of Mr. Merman, at Lebarsville, Which wo mentioned last -week as having been destroyed by lightning, was insured for ,-1.100 in the Lehigh County Fire Insurance Com. panY, but as it was not protected by a lightning rod, the Company made a deduction of El(10.

A rrangt !bents ate to be made for the apple:wiling election. The Whigs are meeting in various parts of the State and preparing. fir the fall campaign. In some counties the Whigs have secured the cooperation of the Americans by abolishing their lodges and forming a union ticket; in other localiths again the Whig ,join•nals give unmistakable signs of hostility to the American party, and the result most likely will be a dis tinct Whig State Ticket,. and also Whig organi sations in most of the Counties.

Report of Ell N•ocoll PlOrrlA, Esti .Elwood Morris, Esq., Civil Erigincer, has pub lished a report of a reconnois.ance made by him for the Aulorrn, Port Clinton and Allentown Railroad ; which is to connect the Dauphin and Susquehanna Railroad, at Auburn, with the Lehigh Valley Railroad, at Allentown. thirty eight 'miles distance, and which he describes as forming the " only unfinished link in a great chain of railroads, Uniting the city of New York with the commercial emporium of the West by a connected route, so nearly upon an Mr line to the head waters of the Ohio, at the city of PittSburg, that future works can never super sede it." The distance from New York to Cincinnati, by this route, is set down at 720 miles ; to St. Louis, 1057 miles ; to Chicago, 88'5 miles. This is shorter than the present ravelled route, via New York Central Railroad to Cincinnati, 156 miles ; to St. Louis, 187 miles ; to Chicago 76 miles ; and via the New York and Erie Railroad to Cincinnati, 128 miles. The road will form also a new coal bearing road to New York and as the report says, a new passenger line to Philadelphia. Coal, the report estimates can be carried by this route, from Schuylkill Haven to the waters of New York Harbor, for less than two dollars per ton, and delivered in the hold of a vessel there within three hours of the time that tire Reading Railroad could place it in a vessel floating in the Delaware, and at no higher charge. It will also, according to Mr. Morris, hold the Reading Railroad in check in its charges upon coal. The estimated cost of the line, with equipments, to put it in operation, is Plre.—Aveldeitt. Between 11 and 12 o'clock on Friday last a fire was discovered in the house of Mr. THOMAS 11erz, inlton street. The fire originated in the chimney and then communicate& to the ceiling and a kind of closet on the second floor. The firemen witli their usual alacrity were promptly on the spot, and succeeded ih extin guishing the flames. An immense quantity of water was thrown in the house, which done a great deal of damage. After the fire was extinguished a Party of young lads got hold of the rope of the Washing. ton Engine for the purpoSe of taking her home, but before they had proceeded far, JOHN, a son of Victor Blumer„fell and was run over.— Luckily however, lie escaped with a slight bruise on one of his legs, and a small cut on the head. We hope this hair-breadth escape will serve as a lesson to the members of this company, and hereafteinot allow any boys to lay hands on their rope. MEM The.

The Itrovihß of Railrontly: It is hiteresting to examine the rnsult pro duced, hi various ways, by the introduction of railroads into sections of the country hitherto inaccessible to the great market..,. The facts and figures, Man properly autho . iticated and laid before the community, always do away Avid' any prOidices that may have existed, ❑nd serve to establish the argument that, railroads are the real pioneers in the niare!l of progress. Alluding to this subject, the St. Louis Duno crat says : • " The oflivial tax statistics of . I"icliigan show that, through thpse counties where railroads have been built, the taxable prOperty has, within three years, increased .100 to 50 per Tent.. while in those counties where no railroads have been built, the ratio of increase in value has not been over one hundred. ht drafting their schedule fir the prices of lands, we find. too, that the Diiyetors of the Illinois Central Railroad hhve conic far short in estimating the value of their lands, fir the road has caused the demand to be so great 1;r thew, that they are now bringing a large price above the mi nimum at which they were graded. In some instances lands that were rated at 5.:44,1,er acre, are selling fir i,- - .4•20, and others rated at - ..=•'20 are readily sold foriii;* - 2.5. Railroads, especi ally where they course though rich sections of country, not only auginent the prices of lands, but they do more. they promote social intercourse. build tip cities, augment the popu lation of villages, :mil the farmer, having a cheap outlet to market fir his products, plants 111111.11dd what he did before the railroad was established, and his increased activity and in dustry are rewarded by large surplus, gains. The same principle prevails wherever well conducted railroads haVe been constructed. Lt this State no proof is required to show that the value of lands has been very greatly en hanced on the line of all our roads, aside from the other benefits that have been derived front the union of distant sections, and the general spirit.. of activity which - hats been induced. Such will be found the case as the Sunbury and Erie Railroad wends its way through the nothern• counties, hitherto of comparativ*. sniall account in our estimate of the wealth and resources of the State. The possessor of a wilderness with no fixed value will soon find himself a man of property, with -'ltpilalists courting his fitVor, and, as a cot'emPornrrhas well remarked, " the farmer who opposes rail roads because they may trespass on a few acres of his ground, or endanger the lives of his stray cows, is as blind to his own interests as a man would be, who refused to sow his crops, because insects might destroy a few seeds."-- 1 , Phi/.

A SRTIONAL PARTY.—An article in the New York Tribune states 'that for the first forty- Oght .years under the' Federal Constitution, down to the election of Martin Van Buren, only fifteen votcs were cast South of the Potomac fur nny northern candidate for the Presidency.
