There are required in those new Coal Townships, such improvements as Iliads aud Bridges, costing more money year alter year. Heretofore, the Forks" have done well in securing county offices : but the "lower end in gaining power so fast, that that source of filiation, and cause of attachment, is broken ; and a connection over the river would enable them best to protect their local interests. These are special and urgent motives for ilie emancipation of the Forks "at this time," for li i.ewisourg is successtui. tne neon e 01 me : . ..

The nature of the increase in the Coal and Iron regions, is not calculated to take off farmers' burdens, as population and voters, pauperism and crime, gain faster in proportion than taxable proper ty.

Shamok- ; in. rottsville, Trevorton. Ac, would be quite ; a good as if they were all in one county." The American retorts in this wise : 4 Now as to our Court Honse we have on!v . .i... .. u. -i . a j r I foruhle one though Dlain in its annearanee. ! Ai regirds Ihe Jail, it has been sufficient tor i unit:. . u F,cc.u,c ciuzrns 01 norinum- hortand. If the character of the popu lation of I'uum is such, as to require heavier prison walls, our friends of the "upper end" had bet ter be rid of their company." It will be seen by reading our article q oted above, that the comment is an un just perversion of our argument. We ak the .ilmenVrtn to copy irAtf ice suiii on that point, and will then submit it. The American gives truly most of our comparison of the "fair proportions" of Northumberland county,. and carries on the joke as follows : Om friend of the Chronirle, may think an ohject shaped like a barrel of pork mrre beau tiful than one like an honr glass or a fashion able lady with a taper waist, to which, a refin ed and more cultivated taste, would naturally have compared it. but, as he n todes west of ! the Susquehanna, we are willing to make al lowances. Well, hour-glass or wap-waistcd lady be it, then, the Iwad up this way, the kiiV at Sunbury, and the fret at Sbamo kin and Mabonny ! If that head dm't choose, ultimately, to effect a Union with a very good looking wooer west of theOtr cnachsoD, we much mistake its desires and giod judgment, to say nothing about the matter of tate. There may be some inte rested Editors and Lawyers who would like to forbid the banns, but as the lady is of sufficient age to choose for herself, the Le gislature will perform the ceremony, and the Governor whoever he may be give it his blessing ! We do not wonder that our Sunbury neighbors would dislike to part with Cbillisquaque, Turbut, Milton, Lewis, and Delaware, but, this is a world of change, aud their loss would be our gain ! We propose, some day, to get a map of the two counties, showing the present "fair proportions" of Northumberland, and what that county and Union would be when ad justed as proposed. The Sunbury "Gazette" Is usnally among the most pleasant and unruffled of our compeers. Even tbe vic tory of its then Editor over a widow lady in bagging the Post Office, did not disturb Li equanimity, even when said victory was followed by furious indignation meet ings. It has been wont, also, to aryuc public questions after a fashion and tried at least to give a reason for any po sition it might assume. But perfection of temper, or of judgment, is not the lot even of Editors, as will be perceived on reading the annexed volley of billingsgate to be found in a recent number of the Ga tettr: nmsioir or hoethtjmbcbland couhtt. From tbe Mittonian, we learn that peti tions are being circulated in that neigh borhood for a division of Northumberland county. These petitions we understand, originate, in Lcwitlury, a town which has been larg'-ly instrumental in tbe nrarious division of Union county, with the view of making that place a seat of Justice. Having damngul one county by an tin ncceuary separation, making two inmjnif icaxt parts of what was once a respectable intirety, it now designs to secure its chance of beiag a county seat by jerjctratiiii a second! outrage. Lewisburg is situated tt one side of that dismy red portion of the old county of which it is ambi tious of being tbe seat of justice. Unfor tunately fur iu aspiring expectations there ii another town in Union which, ou account of its geographical position, ba a Utter claim to being the seat of justice, and stands a better chance. Taerefore Lacitlurj is going to make it self the centre by filching territory from tt neighbors. Now, waa there ever any thing more arnsA and r.iratiral t Can there be anything conceived that equals it for irb.rVt l-orj the Gratification and 1 .

All this diatribe, the reader will ob serve, is utterly destitute of ever, a show of argument on tho issue. It is abuse agaiust a town," without rhyme or reasou. No one ever supposed that the Editurt or the Politicians of Northumberland coun ty would ever consent to the forth-comiug 're-annexation.' The Editors would there by lose much good subscriptions and other id i-,. - .mc , natrnnnri ami I'olitii'iaris wouhl hud manv i- i ii . -.t .i i- set up a simultaneous howl from tho four p0intsSuubury, Milton, Mifiliiiburg, and f. , " ' fc " .New iicrlin against Jjcwisourg I .l oor, uuf rttutiate, dwindling little Lcwisburg ! With regard to all this slander of our town, we would just hint to Suubury aud all others, that it is nothing new. For dis-usted, and vomited back the filthy . , , - . 1111188 ln: ,he bosoms of its concoctors. The New IJerliu traduccrs of Ijewisburg were much more talented, vigorous, aud devoted to tlieir holy work, than you are, or can be- 1?ut whether New Uerlin or Lewisburg suffered most by this kiud of w..rf..r. fnr , . TJilnra an,l Polili-Iana of Northumberland to consider : aud when they have asctrlained just how much New Berlin nutile by their vulgar and false as smluupoii Lcwisburg,"please make a note on't." In the language of Daniel Webster j respecting well-abused Massachusetts, we I say of Lewisburg, TllEItE SHE 6TANIs LOOK AT 11 Kit 1 The above ''first rate notice" of the Ga zttte, is so barrcu of reasou, yet so full of falsehood, that wc can not attempt to aoswer it in detail. We would remark, however, that from everything we ran learn, the charge -that the "petitions for dividing Northumber- land couuty originated in Ije.wubunj," is wholly false. No such petitions hive been printed, or circulated from here, or by our aid or advice, to the best of our knowl edge aud belief. It would be folly for us to ask such a thing before the County Site is located and the Buildings erected. Then will be the time for the friends of the proposed re union, or both sides of the river, to move in the matter. If, then, such a move has been made as the cne miVjt of Lewisburg assert TUEY MUST have made it, in order to precipitate the matter at the wrong time, and thereby in jure it. They have done the deed which the Miltonian and Gazrtte condemn so ve hemently, and then lay the blame on Lew isnuita ! There's honesty for you with a vengeance ! Having got up those petitions, (or false ly asserted that they were iu circula tion we know not which) they next raise a hue and cry against Lewisburg, which is joined in by the Editors, Politicians, and Candidates for Office on the other side of the river. Every Editor is threatened with loss of patronage every politician fears his plans may be disturbed and ev ery Candidato hastens to keep right with " the lower end" of the county by de nouncing Division, and vicing with each other in heaping calumny upuu calumny on devoted Lewisburg ! Next follow the Remonstrances got up by Mifiliiiburg and a few of the Milton men who have a neighborhood jealousy of their rival. They tell the people that Mif fliuburg will be the county seat that Lew isburg, if it got it, would cheat the peo ple, and would not put. up tho Ooumj Buildings and, by persistent and perse vering efforts to get nant't at every hazard of truth and honor, are getting up a lung list to appear presently, with a trcmeud ous flourish of trumpets in the Mifflinburg luminary, to be copied by tho disinterest ed papers aforesaid as evidences of Public Opiuion ! Well, they have laid their plans, cun ningly. But, unfortunately for them, the FA It ME US of the " upper end" are not foola. They know Sunbury well know just where, and how far off it lies they know Lewisburg, too, and just where, aud how far off, it STANDS, teg" Wlien the time comet mark it, ye Editors, Politicians, and Candidates vhen the proper time ar rive, they will ask to be delachcd from Mahanoy, if they deem it advisable; and they will asl it to unmistakably as to admit of no denial. Uutil then, (we, and) THEY 'hide Ttir.m time, and allow fcditors, Politicians, and Candidates to abuse Lew isburg to tlieir hearts' content. Last spring, however, we should state, the people of Cbillisquaque (one man only, who was called upon, declining,) did say that in case Uuion was divided, and tbe County Building, erected at Lewisburg . . w II . t. wnnout laxutinu, turn tbry wouiu ats i : join the new county. There are hundreds HUn know ln tuo ,. townships. i - . - 11 r . , f i((7 tl)eI)j tIlcv of COUTiC) W,U not aD(1 i should not make any move in the matter, i and allow Suubury & Co. to have it their i own way. t&rlt the Uuion couuty site is at Mifflinburg, that ends the matter, and our county will remain its present biz ; but if the Bite is fixed at Lewisburg, uoth- i " mo" P1"'" " ""' both i hidtaf the river in the sanic organization and a better, prettier county could not be found in the State.tBJ The slaug of the Gazette about rain ing Uuion couuty by its Division, will of course ratso many hearty laughs ! Just as if the people of this couuty themselves, voting on tho question after thorough dis cushion and mature deliberation, did not know their own interests best, but wanted an Editor, offiu his iimy shop in Sunbury, to tell them ! ! The people of Union county, and of the ui p.r end of North um berlaud, Mr. Editor, think for themselves ! 'n sucu matters, and neither Suubury, itcwisuurg, uor Aiuiou can prevent tbeui from judging for themselves what their own interests will be in locating the seat of justice for Uniou, or their after rela tions respecting it. ORIGINAL ESSAYS . ..No. II, TIIK SKY How wonderful is the Sky ! No eye can fathom Us mysterious caverns, no in strumeiit of vision can reach beyond its eternity of existence. Its magnificent depths wander far back into the infinity of space, beggaring the eye as it gazes up ward, and puzzling the soul with a bewil dered satisfaction. 9 There is not. a cloud now to dinrits radiant azure, and there the Day lives in all its glory. The Sun from his inex haustible fountain pours forth his sparkling beams, playing in the broad fields, going forth like bright-eyed, joyous children as the great Hand of Nature cruidct them Like a monarch coming down from his turuue clothed with all his pomp of rega lia, so glides the kiug of day step by step down tbo great stairway of bis setting. With kinducss ou his brow, smiles on his lips, and a lingering farewell in the glow of his ardent eye, he bows himself through the gates of the most. G. nt!y jjow glides in upon the world the fairy sister f the : cveuing, timid, coquetish Twilight In melancholy silence they walk the aerial floor, as kiud sisters leaving a blessed home where many a hallowed tic yet lin gers. Then there comes to meet them their generous brother Night. See how they rush iuto the arms of that beloved broth er, who hides them in his bosom, as if to shield 'them from some lurking fate, "lis then a music floats from out the open portals above as if the angels had come to look upon the scene. 'Tis then the minstrel zephyrs sing the weary world to res', and to the smiling hosts above breathe twinkling serenades that make them blush with kindling rapture. But this is the romance of nature. Yet it it sweet to know how well she loves us, and 'tis sweet to feel the poetry of stars and flowers, of singing zephyrs, kindling in our souls a love fur tho beauties of na ture It is these combined which make earth a paradise. Did wc cease to feel and love the outward forms of nature, as, with their varied arts, they appeal to us, wc should shut out from our spirits the good angel of earth, and fail to appreciate tho Author of all things. Night is around and above us what a study is presented ! Yonder in the mea sureless depths of tie Sky shines the star whose light must speed its twice three years ere earth receive its hallowed beni son. The Sky is packed with stars and planets that in tlieir ceaseless goings forth do fill'the flashing p . and light creation up. Most fertile ia to ; study of the Sky of those orbs that Vivo bo long rolled in order and harmony obedient to the In visible. Not only may we investigate tbem wiiu ibe eje of OoUoce, but we mav also sublimely speculate upon tbe charac ter of the beings who probably inhabit them ; bow they exist, and above all if to nur God they civo adorine praiee. In this field thought can wander until be wildered and beggared, nntil all sagacity or inspiration are swallowed up in myste ry, and she returns to her earthly habita tion, weeping at her sad, sad impotency. Though she bad soared until sublimity had whitened her speechless lips, and the great voice of eternity thundered in her deafened ear, she turned away, breathing, with a sanctified feeling, the acknowledg mcnt that the " ways of God are past finding out." When the soul is frecd.and lives in its eternal glory, it will ouly Men know IliM as He is known in heaven. S. G. D. Why He was Defeated.

A comp'tuy has been formed in this Ci ty for tbe purpose of settling lands in Kan sas on the Octagon Plan. That is, each farmhouse to frout on an octagon green or nark, and the farm enclosure to run in the ! rear of each house between roads and radi ating from the center at the angles of the Octagon the whole ultimately forming an octagon town. Already 4,000 shares, at $5 each, have been taken in a company on this plan. The capital of the company is employed in the purchase of machinery, implements and other facilities for buili- ine and farming, so as to secure to all the settlers by co-operation the advantages of lirgo capital in commencing their opera tions Men of no carjital rtav for their shares by tbeir labor.

Tfie hdy looked at her brother's eye, and, cing no token of jest, concluded that he kiesit to do as be said. There was an ojfcn window and balcony by her side, with it street in front, but a moment satisfied bet that safety did not lie in that way. So, Jutting on a smil ing oountenance, she saidwith the greatest apparent cordiality: "Tlat is a strange idea, George; but would it not be a pity to spoil this new lace tijpet I have got on? I will just step to my Horn and put it off, and be with you again is half minute." Without waiting to give him time to con sider, she stepped lightly across the floor and passed out.

We do not speak of the subordinate Ge neraIs,whose sphere is the newspaper office the Grceleys, Weeds, Daoas, or JJige lows nor of the guerrillas who have done yeomen's work io the contest, such as the Tappans, GaTrisons, and Smiths but of the recognized commanders, who have tak en their seats among the rulers of the land, and actually planted their banner staff on the floor of Congress itself. In tho first rank stauds Wm. II. Sew ard, of New York. Wc dare say the time is gone by, when his talents or his perse verance can be denied either in the North or in the South. He is tbe most skillful and unrelenting enemy of tbe slave inte rest, aud, whether sincere or insincere, must be regarded as a formidable antago nist. For ourselves, we regard him as a fanatic, whose sincerity is as deep as the roots of life, and who believes that in ad vancing bis political ambition, he is asser ting the cause of humanity also. He is a man of fiue and extensive attainments a graceful and captivating writer, a subtle and Maehiavelian organiser, and an orator whose full, Ciccronian,and somewhat florid style, must always attract popular atten-1 tion in a nation which loves eloqnenee as dearly as the United States. To those qua lifications he adds a deep political presci ence which is rarely deceived; a patience which nothing can disturb; and an adapta bility, which in these times of change and inconsistency is the most valuable gift of tbe thorough politician. The rise aud pro gress of Seward, from his first beginning as au obscure lawyer, to his present re markable exaltation, is one of the most curious phenomena of modern political his tory. It docs not require much insight to perceive that he is no casual waif, born to an elevated place by tbe tide of party, but the artificer of his own fortune, in the ..... .tr t. t v . e most pliant subtlety, the most reckless dar iup, and an amount of genuine ability, wn.cn can not tre uitstaneu tor . moment. We are not writing a puff for Mr. Seward, but simply describing the foremost enemy i L x i r . I of the 8outh, as he really is, and not as tue vulgar, wuica too luauy peujue inistaae him for. Is this man to be despised or disregarded ? Is it wise to liv abej, and dream of utter security, while such an en gineer is mining under our outpost, with tbe detcrmiuatiou of springing the mine at his convenience ? Then next in rank, stands Sumner of Massachusetts. No person, even the most prejudiced, will mistake him for a common man. He was distinguished as a juris consult of a high order before be became noted as au incendiary. His standing amongst the scholars of his State, so pro liCo in fanatical men of letters, has been confessedly high for many years, and to considerable scholastic attaiuments he uni tes many popular accomplishments, which are equivalent to credentials of success in au era of agitation and revolutionary designs.
