AYe are happy to say that we are not among those who are on the continual look out for disaster aaJ defeat. Brief and limited as our observation may have been, we have ever been able tosees.iulitrays even through aud beyond the clouds that for a season ob scured the di-!tant light. Suppose that our ancestors, wlio for seven long years stood side by side and battled for the right, had yielded to the first or even the tenth disappoint'jient; had they done this no Republic would have loomed up to mark the nineteenth century. With this before us, shall we, after the experience of four-score years, which has added millions to our popu lation, yield up to the first appearance ot de feat, and thus forever crush the hopes that are linked with our Nation’s destiny? For ourselves we answ* r. as we believe the whole unb.juaht North wdl, no.' Though Mc Clellan m.iy h.j.ve Boruside has failed in his lir»t great t Sort, let oui Na tion’s motto still l>s NEVER D E S P A IR ! ! B o a r t i SH p e i’vi.soas. The Board of Supervisors of the County of AYashington met according to adjournment at Union A'illage, Monday, Dec. 8, and con tinued their setting through the week. In our opinion, the voters in the several towns in AA’^ashington county, have good rea son to feel satisfied with their present Board of Supervisors. Take them as a body, we do not believe a more intelligent and indus trious aiTay of men have ever convened in the county. When they met, each and every one of the Board went to w.jrk with a will and energy that showed his fitness for the place, while they acted with unanimity, each one seemed willing to perform his part, and all were ready to d > that which was best for the common good. The foilowing are the names and residence of the respective members of the Board : A. 15. Law, Salem, Chiirman ; Horace (\>ttre!l, Easton ; *Or.son Richards, Sandy H ill; Azor Culver, Cambridge ; John Stew art, Greenwich ; R. C. Davis, Hartford ; Sol A Nixistance. During the last few weeks, we have heard from several different parties, of the .-xistenca of a house of bad repute in this heretofore somewhat moral village. It is said to be located near the east end of Liberty Street. The occupants, some half a dozea or more, are two females old enough to be in more respectable employment, and four or five younger specimens of the feminine part of humanity,' who like the witches of Macbeth, “ mostly fly by night.” Now, although we go in for the largest kind of liberty in one’s choice of occupation, we do object to having these moral ulcers fastened upon our com munity to eat away its very heart. Our first appeal in all cases of public griev ance, is to the statute in such case made and provided, the enforcement of which depends upon the Ciiy Fathers. After this, our next appeal would be to the strong sense of public opinion, rightly expressed. And last of all, both of the above having either failed to act or reach the existing nuisance, we would have recourse to toe strong arm of self protection, which when other means fail, claims the right to obliterate a public curse. This has been tried in many of our cities, and generally demonstrated that the masses are upon the side of virtue. Once upon a time, the rowdy class under took to control the ballot-box in two of our southern cities. For a while, through the aid of the bowie knife and stuffed ballots, they succeeded—but soon the evil became too great for the toiling, honest-hearted people to abide—then, in the hour when Law was ' but a form, and honestly spoken opinion pro- 1 duced no effect, the people arose in their ' might, and so organized and carried out their ' plans, even to death, as to arrest the progress ' of crime and restore confidence to the com- inunity. , ; Although we do not, as a common thing, belieVe it to be right for the masses to take I the Jaw into their own hands, we do feel j that their are times when it becomes a mat- I ter of stern neces ity ; and most especially in a case like the one alluded to in the first part of this article. AYe have written plainly in relation to this matter, believing, that as soon as it becomes known to those upon whom the duty devolves, the nuisance will be abated. But should they (ail, either for a want of courage, or fear of losing votes, we hold our selves ready to take our ------ pen in hand, and go to work in earnest.

Claims of all the Patents issued rom the United /States Patent Office duiing the week previous; thus giving a correct histoey of the progress of inventions in this country. We are also re ceiving every week, the best scientific jour nals of Great Britain, France and Germany ; thus placing in our possession all that is tran spiring in mechanical science and art in the old countries. We shall continue to transfer to our columns copious extracts from these journals of whatever we may deem of interest to our readers. A pamphlet of instruction as to the best method of obtaining Letters Patent on new invensions.is furnished free on application. Messrs.
