AnvtRTiSEMrra. Our readers will find
nmnber of new advertisements in our column
this week. Several liave been crowded out tlii
week that will appear in our net.
O" Most of our first page, this week. U
taken np with the Address of the Native
American National Convention, which we
pnblish at the request of a number of our
subscribers, a portion of them prominent
members of the Democratic party. As the
American party has no organ in this county
and as tbey complain of having been grossly
mis represented, it is but right and proper that
they should have an opportunity to be heard.
63 ScxncBT and Erik Railroad. "We
understand the company intends to open
the road from Northumberland to Milton on
the 20th ult., if possible. The pradinjr, with
the exception of a fcwTshort links, has all
been completed, and the track is now nearly
all laid.
The grading between this place and Nor-
thumberland, is progressing. The work on
the bridge has been greatly retarded by high
water, but the piers are now all above water,
and one of them completed.
THF. KRSUI.T AS PU KOICTED.
After the Standing Committee bad issued
their manifesto, requiring the democracy of
Northumberland county to vote as they
directed, we predicted that the people would,
indignantly, repudiate the action of the com
mittee. The result of the lute primary elec
tion has fully verified our prediction. The
whole vote polled will not reach 550, while
Eve townships were wholly un-n-presented,
and paid no attention, whatever, to the man
dates of this political inquisition. If such a
rebuke does not satisfy them that the people
have no confidence in them, we can hardly
imagine any thins that will. '"The unterrified
chairman of the committee," and his friends
might exclaim in the language of a more
renowned hero, "another such a victory, and
we are ruined."

TIIK STANDING COMMITTEE'S
CONVENTION.
The Standing Committees Convention, as
sembled at the Court House on Monday last.
It was but meagerly attended, and was, per
haps, the smallest specimen of an attempt
at a convention that ever met in that build
ing. Five townships, visj Chilisqoaque,
Coal, Cameron, Jordan, and Mount Carmel,
were not represented. The number of dele
gates or Judges was sixteen. The whole
number of votes polled, when summed up,
amounted to a little over 500 or less than
the democratic vote of Shamokin and Augus
ta townships. We were not furnished with
the proceedings, but took a note of some of
them at the time. The following is the vote

nominated for Assembly s

There were but a few scattering votes.
For Register Recorder, Ac, C. Boyd
Panel had 493 votes.
For Treasurer, George Bright had 523
votes.
For Commissioner, Chus. C. Holtenstein,
of the upper end was nominated for 3 year,
and Frederick Haas, Esq., of Augusta, fur
1 year.
Win. T. Forsyth, of Northumberland, was
nominated for Auditor.
The committee then proceeded to tie
nomination of delegates to the state conven
tion, when D. B. Montgomery was nomina
ted Senatorial, and Jacob Leisenring repre
sentative delegates. The delegutu from
Point proposed to nominate Major Dewart
as a delegate to the National convent ion, ut
as the resolutions of the Inquisition had made
no pr visions for this change, it wus denned
advisable to let the Stateconvention perform
that duty as heretofore.
The next business in order was the ap
pointment of the Standing Committee, or
rnther the re-appo;ntment of themselves.
The people, of course, had no say in the
matter. The Committee hud appointed the
Judges or delegates, and they, of course,
were, in duty bound to return the compli
ment, by re-appoluting the committee. In
this way they will be able to perpetuate their
power ond rc-oppoint each other to the end
of time if the people do not tako the matter
into their own hands again.
The Standing Committee have certainly
but a poor opinion of the democracy of
Northumberland connty if they cannot trust
them with the choice of their own Judges and
require them to swear that they are demo
cruts.
During the convention a letter was read
from Cameron, stating that the small vote
of that township did not justify sending in a
delegate. Mount Carmel was pretty much
o the same opinion, but sent in its six votes
by letter, thinking, perhaps, that small favors
would be thankfully received. The democra
cy of that township have grown exceedingly
negligent since the last delegate election.
One of the remarkable things of the con
vention was the omission to pass any resolu
tions. Perhaps the odium attached to the
late resolutions of the Standing Committee
gave them a surfeit, but surely the sworn
democracy ought not to be afraid to express
their views on any subject.
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT!
ON TIIKCOIDKSi AM) A1IBOV RAIL lllAP.
We s'op the Pnss to record another '"
p'orable uccident which occurred on the
Candeti and Anibny Railroad, on Wednesday
last, by which twenty-one persons were killed,
uud fifty or sixty wounded.
The train of cars which left Philadelphia,
reached Burlington just before 11 o'clock. It
then stopped, waiting for the 8 o'clock New
York train, which passes ut that place.
After waiting five or ten minutes, and the
New York t ruin not nppturin'r, the Philadel
phia train went forward slowly, watchinj for
the approach of the downward train. It hud
gone forward about a mile and a quarter,
when the New York train came in sight.
The Philadelphia train commenced backing,
and soon got under rapid headway for Bur
lington again. The engineer being with the
locomotive, of course had not the advantage
ot seeing what was ahead of the backward
going train. He had run hut a quarter of a
mile, and a mile from Burlington, when the
first passenger car came in collision with a
light pleasure wagon, driven by Dr. limine,
gan. of Columbus. N. J., who attempted to
cross the track in front of the cars.
The watjoti contained Dr. Hannepan, his
wife, and two children. The former, it is said,
is hard of hearing, and by this infirmity runs,
ed an accident nearly similar, but not so fatal,
near Beverly, about a year pgo. The doctor
had seen the cars pass as he wus driving
down the road, and supposing all safe, neglec
ted to keep a proper lookout. The first pas
senger car struck the two horses in the wa
gon, just as they were crossing the truck, kil
led them instantly, and threw one thirty feet
on one side of the track, and the other forty
yards on the other side. The wagon wus
turned round and upset, none of its inmates
being injured, except in slight bruises. The
front car, A, ufter striking the horses, run
forwards, and off thu truck, about one hun
dred janli, aud over a small embankment.
The second car, B. was thrown directly across
the trat k. The third car (C) went through
car B aud stopped diagonally across the r ad,
the fourth car (D) followed and ran into C.
The fifth passenger car and the baggage car
stopped without leaving the track. The two
latter were not injured, but three of the other
passenger cars were knocked to pieces, and
many of their occupant were killed, wounded,
and maimed.
Ths killed and wounded were taken to
Burlington. Two special trains were dis
patched from Philadelphia containing Ptiysi-
ciuns, friends, relatives, Ac.
SJjr Ciaci's. Our readers will observe

9 Tus War in tdc Cmmia. The arrival
of the Canada brings important news from
the seat of war. The Russians attacked the
position of the allies at Tchernaya, with C0
000 men, under Liprandl. The action lasted
three hours. The Russians were repulsed
by the French and Sardinians, with a loss
or 4000 or 5000. The loss of the allies Is
much smaller. Sweaborg has been bombar.
ded by the allies, and the store bouses, arse
nals, and magazines, with many other build
ings, were destroyed. Breadstufls have dc
clined.
DEATH or IIOK. ABBOTT LAWRENCE.
The telegraph informs us that the Hon.
Abbott Lawrence, whose feeble health has
for some time piven his friends fears of ap
pronching dissolution, expired at 11 o'clock
ou Saturday morning. J I is disease is said
to have been congestion of the liver. This
sad event will bo regarded with much sym
pathy throughout the country, for the de
ceased was undoubtedly a man of great mark
both in private and public life. Mr. Law
rence was boru in 1792, in the village of
Uroton, Mass., and was therefore, at the time
of his death, about C3 years of age.
llis father was a respectable farmer of
Middlesex county, whose means were too
limited to allow him to give his children any
more than a common village school education.
In 1808, Abbott went to Boston, whither his
elder brother, Amos, had preceded him. and
started in business as a retail dealer. In the
course of a few years he was so successful
that he was enabled to enter into partner
ship with Amos, as an importing merchant.
The firm did an extensive business in British
fabrics, and M r. Lawrence resided for some
time iii England, superinteiiiliugthe interest
of the concern, lie continued in this branch
of trade until the establishment of manufac
tures in New Ei gland, when he invested a
large capital in the mill of Lowell. He
displayed high energy and business capacity,
and as Lowell grew in size end importance,
he amassed a prte c'y fortune. For tunny
ye.irff, he was the lo ad of the linn ol A. & A.
Lunri-uce & Co. Lowell is much indebted
Li his enterprise and liberality for its wonder
ful progress.
Mr. Lawrence first entered public life in
1835, as a representative from Boston in the
twenty-fourth Congress, lie served in thai
body with ability and industry mint .1 ls39.
In 1843 he was selected us one of the Com
mission .rs for the settlement of thu North-
eastern boundarv finest ion B verv honorable
appointment, considering thu importance ot
thu interests confided to the Commissioners.
In politics. Mr. Liwr ii'e was an ardent
Wh g, and for in my years, he was a firm sup
porter of Daniel Webster. In 1S43, how
ever, he separated from that statesman upon
the ipu'stion of the fitness officii. Taylor lor
the Presidency. L'pon the accession uf Gen.
Taylor to the Chair of State, Mr. Lawrenci.1
was offered the post of Secretary of the
Navy, which he declined, and wassubsequeiit.
Iv appointed Minister to the Court of St.
James, in which position he continued until
after the death of President Taylor. From
the time of his return to Massachusetts, Mr.
Lawrence was almost entirely engaged in
superintending his business affairs.
Mr. Lawrence was married many years ago
to a duuifhter of Col. Bigelow, of Middlesex
county, Massachusetts. Besides his widow,
three sons and two daughters, allof whom un
married, survive him. He was a man of
commanding presence, pleasing address, and
unbounded hospitality. He leaves a splendid
monument of his liberality in the Lawrence
Scientific School, attached to Harvard
University, which he gave 5100,000 to en
dow. He will be remembered as a generous
and public-spirited citizen, a firm friend of
American manufactures, and a man of real
business tact and skill and perseverance, who
has set an admirable example to his younircr
countrymen by the integrity of his conduct,
and thu judicious uses to which he applied
his great wealth.
Bounty Land Warrants. From an fifii
ciul record in the L'nim of the business trans
acted at the Pension Office for the week en -ing
the 21st instant, we find thut there were
Applications under act 3d March, '55, 2.500
Examined or re-examiued, 3.000
Allowed, L"10
Warrants issued, 2,320
Total number of applications, 206,800
Acknowledged, 165.080
Allowed, 23.223
Warrants or certificates issued, 20,586
From this we observe there has been un
average issue of 1715 warrants per week for
twelve weeks since the first of June. It is to
bo hoped that the Department of the Interior
will adopt measures greatlv to increase the
number, us thousands oftlie applicants are
poor and feeble, most pf them ranging from
the ugeg of CO to 104. The bounty, to be
beneficial, must be speedy, for to these old
folks time flies with untiring wings, and the
sands of their lives are fust running out.
Tub Ykllow Fever at Norfolk. Dr.
Stone says, the fever at Norfolk is that which
the Creolvs call la pente, w hich visited New
Orleans in 1853.
'It seems to differ from the old type cf
yellow fever in manner of attack, iu treatment
required, and in thu celerity with which the
work of death ia performed many of its
victims dying within a few hours of their
ui taik. The premonitory symytoms are
simply a sharp, acute pain, like rheumatic
pain, or sometime a paralytic shock in some
part of the body. Others ure attacked by a
sharp pain across thu knuckles of the hand.
-Unless attended to iininei iately, the pain
extends up the arm or leg, audgra liially ovi r
the entire body. Internal l'i v. r t usiies, while
the skin and e'xtreuutii s ure i y cohl. The
first t fl'oil is to bring about a reaction, b
wrapping the patient in ice, followed by hot
mustard applications, the obj-ct being to
produce eispimtiou, which, il si.ccesslul, is
generally followed by a cure. Yi ry lit lie, il
uiiy, internal medicine is nei-ded or uilowt d.
except, perhaps, a slight tonic."
The number of deaths in Norfolk is now
averaging about seventeen daily ulid about
twenty in Portsmouth. The iin reuse ol new
cases is, however, in a much lurgerproporl.ini
than the increase of deaths, showing that it is
uiore readily yielding to medical snutnuiit.
The Norfolk and Portsmouth Si fff.kkl.
