The election for Delegate to Congress is
over, resulting in tlifl success of Oallegcs by
90 majority. Oreat efforts were inado by
Otero's friends, but there was a good deal of
anti-American feeling in the country.
Indian troubles have measurably censed.
A treaty was m.tdo at Albuquerque with the
Jicarilla Apaches, but n few ilisafl'ected ones,
who were not present, still make disturbances.
While the treaty 'was being made, some
misunderstanding sprung up between Kit
Carson and the Governor about, feeding the
Indians. The Governor suspended Carson,
who leaves shortly for Washington, where
the whole nmur will undergo investigation.
Col. Fauntleroy was to Luxe gone out with
tho Governor, but he would not turn over the
command of his regiment to Major Blake, sent
out by General Garland to receive it. The

by the War Department ugainst Major
Blake, who is to bo tried on grave charges.

Skrious Railroad Accident. Tho train
that left Augusta for this city yesterday
morning did not arrive et tho depot until
nearly 7 o'clock last evening, in consequence
tif a second class car having been crushed to
ntoms by one of the rails having given away,
at about half-past 1 o'clock yesterday nfter
noon, a mile and a half above KrancliviHe.
The cur ai crowded, mostly with negroes,
and every one was cut moro or b-ss. Capt.
Crews, tho conductor, was badly bruised
nbont the face and body. Mr. W. England,
the baggage master, was also badly bruised.
Mr. G. Hoffman, of Lowry's Turu-out, was
badly cut about the face and arms, and Mr.
J. S. Jenkins received bruises on his head.
Wo are gratified to learn, Lowever. that
none of these gentlemen are considered to ba
seriously injured. Four negroes, two women,
a boy and u child, belonging, we believe, to
A. Masyck, Esq., of St. James .Sautee, were
hurt more or less, but none seriously. A
train hand, named Miiier, lad his leg broken
above the ankle, and seemed much injured.
Margaret, tho stewardess of the train, wus
likewise bruised. Ono boy, about thirteen
years or ne, was so much injured that he
cannot live. He and thirty others had been
liberated by their late owner in Tennessee,
and were in charge of the executor of the
u.-state on their way to Baltimore, from which
city they are to take passage to Liberia. The
scene, wo ure informed, was horrible in the
extreme. The car was literally smashed to
pieces, und some thirty or thirty-five people
were mixed up with the broken fragments.

A New .State out of 'Ixas. A writer
from western Texas says the German, French
Swiss, Hungarian, and ether European set
tlers in northwestern Texas are to n man in
favor of forming a new State out of tho west
ern portion of that State : and to n man they
are opposed to slavery. There are many se t
tlers from tho Northern States among them,
too, and together ho thinks they can com

Congress from Mississippi, who has lately re
turned from a visit to Texas. By the" act

Philadelphia Oct. 31, 1855. J
Although thero has been a fair amount of
business in the city this fall, it has not been
equnl to what had been anticipated. At
present there is said to be a little "lightness'
in the money market, ond some fiirltering in
stocks. This result is perhaps owing to the
critical state of the monetary affairs in
Europe. The Bank of France, it is feared,
will be compelled to suspend specie payments,
und if so the Bank of England will find it
difficult to sustain itself. The enormous ex
penses of tho war, bomo almost wholly by
England and France, nre beginning to be felt
most sensibly in Europe. Tho allies, it is
true, have captured Sebastopol. But this
victory, if not a barren one, has been the mot
bloody and expensive known in the annals of
warfare. The cost in' human life probably
exceeds fifty thousand persons while the
expenses of the two governments will not fall
short of four hundred mill on of dollars. Such
are Ihe desolations and the disastrous effects
of war. Had half this money been expended
for tho amelioration of the condition of tho
people, and the improvement of the country
by rail roads and otherwise, one could scarce.
ly contemplate the vast amount of good that
might have been accomplished.
Our friends will rejoice to hear thst the
work on tho rail road from Sunbury to liar-
nsburg will now be resumed, and tho work
completed Without delay. A portion or the
old contractors, in connection with some
gentlemen or New York have taken the en
tire line. They have advertised a letting of
the work to be held at Harrisburg, on the
15th of N jvembcr. Thot portion of the line
between Sunburyand Dauphin, is to be com
plcted by the 1st of August next. Tho bal
ance, including the oridge at Dauphin, by the
1st of January 1S57. At Dauphin the road
will be connected with tho Dauphin and Sus
quehanna and the Pennsylvania rail roads.
and thus form a continuous rail way from
Sunbury to Philadelphia by easy grades, three
miles shorter than any other route now jri
operation. Our friends in Shamokin and
Trevorton, engaged in the coal business will,
no doubt, look forward with great anxiety for
tho completion of this important work, which
gives them another outlet Tor their coal.
I am pleased to learn that the prospects of
the Sunbury and Erio road, are also highly
flattering. That portion of the line extending
from Erie to Warren, C2 miles, and from
thuco twenty miles east, to the bituminous
coal region, in all 82 miles, was let, a few days
since. From Sunbury to Lock Haven tho
road wiil be completed in a few months.
From Lock Haven westward, 100 miles is
also under contract. Tho gap between the
two points not under contract, is about 40
miles nccording to tho old survey, but may be
shortened, perhaps 10 or 15 miles, by new
surveys that nre now making.
The election of a United States Senator,
and a new State Treasurer is already enga
ging the ottention of politicians. The west
claims the Senator, and thero will be no little
difficulty in adjusting matters.
Judge Black was supposed to be a promi
nent candidate for that office, but I wa in
formed by a prominent politician at Harris
burg. himself a friend of Mr. Buchanun. that
J udge Black Lad, in a letter to him, positively
declined being a candidate. There will be no
lack of candidates for the office. The State
Treasurer-ship will be a matter of secondnry
consideration, and will be made to play its
part iu the clectiou or a United States Scua
tcr. Tho Americans and whigs in this city, at
tribute the disastrous result of the recent
election, wholly to the passage or tho Jug
law. The impression is that a stringent li
cense law w ill be passe J, with a clause or
section repealing the present law. It must
be pretty evident by this time, to all reflecting
men, that legislative enactments, restraining
the appetites or individuals, cannot be enfor
ced. Moral suasion, and the force of a good
example, will prove much more efficacious.

POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY IU MINNESOTA
Kansas Octraors Ri-knacted. The St.
Paul Daily Times or the 19th. comes to us
with an extraordinary account of the manner
in which the friends of Henry M. Rice, the
Nebraska candidate for delegate to Congress
from that Territory, cooked upon illegal vote
for him in certain portions or the district. It
appers to be beyond controversy that the
new wilderness counties or Doty and Superior
on the St. Louis river and on the north side
or Lake Superior in Minnesota Territory,
never did and do not now contain over fifty
legal voters. But notwithstanding this, the
Rice faction polled in these counties nearly
five hundred votes, ail for Rice, and besides
this, nearly nil tho people or the town or Su
perior, in Wisconsin, went over to tho Minne
sota su;o and voted tor Itice. Three new nnd
illegul polls were opened, citizens or Wiscon
sin were put in as jndees or the election, and
a host or Chippewuy Indians were broucht un
to the polls, and every one or them made to
vote lor Kice. Uno Inct shows the atrocity
or tho fraud. At the census taken in June.
there wore scarcely three hundred people,
men women and children, in tho whole north
shore, and now there are nearly double that
numuer oi voiers.
These frauds arc certainly sufficient to ren

tains the following from the pen or D.J. Due
gan, an American Surgeon at Sebastopol :
"A seaman, knocked down bv a fragment of
a mortar or shell, was picked up dead. The
head was apparently swept from his shoulders,
but there was no truce or hermorrnge. On
disentangling his clothes, which were tightly
jammed around the injured part, the bead was
driven downward into the chest, carrying
with it a great portion or blue shirt and red
comforter. A small tnft of hair alone was
visible at the bottom of a deep cavity. It
was a regular iutussussccptioti."

replied Pat, with some degree or astonish

look of surprise, and then, with that laconic
eloquence, which is peculiar to a son or the
Emerald Isle, exclaimed "an' go naked?"

Shamokintown, Oct. 22, 1855.
II. B. Masses : Sir Shamokintown is a
great place for curiosities. Many or them
are well known to your readers. At to eoal,
the people of Elmira well remember what
ponderous specimens she seut them. And,
though we sre hemmed in on every side bv
large bills and mountains, the people of Sun
bury are well aware that we are not altogetb.
er behind in the line of agriculture ; and had
the county fair been one week later, like
tsarnum in tne Duoy line, we could have
shown tbem a master specimen or humanity.
Yesterday, though not intentionally, I am
glad to say that a number of fellows freed
themselves from the crime of desecrating the
Lord's day by releasing a wild man from a
stata of starvation. When found, the poor
fellow was io s sad condition. IU was not
only hungry, btrt urtnerwbat briw4 and eesrrW
naSsQU-tavrng: no sSoVs Bpon"iis feet, and I
bis garments all In rags. Un being brought
to town the sympathies of the citizens as
well they might be were soon aroused, and
beiore nignt ne was wen clad from head to
foot. And that was not all t he was well
fed, and too well, as I understand, for ha
could not contain it all.
Tboutrh apparently a man of more than nr.
dinary mind, as all hermits usually are, be did
not seem to understand anything that was
said to him, and yet he could speak onr lan
guage as well as the best of ns. To all ques
tions pnt to Mm it mattered not how simple
soever they were bis answer would always
be, "Four hundred and fifty dollars and ten
tents." On offering him some money, he
politely refused it, and added that he
happy as bo was. and that would only tend to
make him miserable.
Owing to the strangeness of his appearance,
persons of all ages turned out to see him
'im e . 1 . j , .
a ho guuiua vi wm iri ucu inrii wns employed,
if possible, to solve the secnt of his history!
All efforts, however, were iu vain. O ne mnn
who prided himself very much on his superior
scholarship, ventured to converse with him
iu Latin, but he was glad to confess, with
confusion, that the old man, poor and rust v
as he was, was Tar his superior. I would only
add in conclusion thnt he is a sinirnlar ..,-
men or humanity, and that, so far, bis history

The following conundrums, which were
offered at the late Horticultural exhibition,
recently held iu one of the public squares of
Philadelphia, in thrco large tents, were han

We cheerfully give them a place, not only to
j oblige our fair friend, but because they are
