V%e “Whig” in for a « Foss.”
“A from Blair County," and our
comments thereon, which appeared in the
lostnumbcr of. the Tribune, upset the
cquiliblinm' of-;tlie pliant Major of.the
Whig, and knocked bis calculations into
“ pi,” and forthwith he .pitches Into the
candidate put forth for congressional hon
ors by the delcgaies to the American Coun-
ly Convention) and also the delegates them
mjlvcs, in a style which will.not advance
the proSpccta of bis side iof the house.
flis article starts' out with an assertion
which the writer knows to be false, and
concludes with one equally remote from
truth. The editor of the Whig knows
perfectly! well thqt the neverpro
fcsHcd neutrality; hut we excuse his scein
ing ignorance, op the ground that it is
ouly-by perverting truth that he ccluld
make a show of opposition to that “Voice”
which 1 is now grating so unpleasantly upon
his cars. As to the explanation he ask§,
we think the “ voice” explains itself in a
easily misunderstood—only a
little to plain tb be agreeable. Wc care
nothing about the proceedings of the Con
' vention. - Other men have been rejected
by Conventions, and nominated and elec
ted afterwards; and it may be so again.
With the action of the Delegates to the
American Convention, we think the Whig
has little to dp, and the less said about
them the better for his cause, or that of a
Union between the opponents of the na
tional and State Administrations. Wbch
he mentioned his favorites in connection
with the nomination in this district, no
opposition was made to, them by the other
wing of-the party, in an open manner;
but as soon as the Americans express a
preference for a candidate, and one, too,
against whose popularity and qualifications
he dare not say a word, he is the first man
to endeavor to create dlssehtion. Such
incendiary attempts 4f to ignore the wishes
of the Americans of Blair, will not ad
vance the claims of the gentlemen presen-
tcd,through the columns* of the Whig.-
A difficulty between the American and
Republican parties in this county is all
that the Administration party desire, and
the Whig appears anxious to play into
the hands of the common opponents of
bothparties. '
Mr. Brotherlirie has certainly as n&any
claims on the conferees- and the people of
the District, as those 'mentioned through
the columns of the Whig. To say that
he is not entitled to the last consideration,
is about-equal to proclaiming that the fif
ty-seven delegates to the American County
Convention, who signed the recommenda
tion, are nobody’s, and the vote of the
American party in Blair is not worth con
sidering. . We should likp to know how ]
the editor of the Whig figures up a ma- ;
jority for cither of his candidates in the
district, by leaving out the American vote
of Blair County. He insinuates that the
manifesto wa* gotten up for the purpose
of producing more trouble. Well, that's
cool. -There was no trouble so long as he
could sebthe track clear for bis favorites,
but immediately on the entry of another
candidate, he creates the trouble an&then
attempts to charge it upon others, yho
ate only pursuing hie example and doing
what they had a perfect right to do. But
we axe not.astonished at the course of the
Whig. Men who entertain but one idea
are ever anxious to display it when an op
pqrfunity offers, and consequently the ed
itor qf the Whig, who is one of this class
of individuals, could not' pernut-a man to
be named by the Americans in connection
yaflx flic nomination for Congress, without
displaying bis ultra Republicanism in an
indecent attaok upon the candidate and
those who recommended him.
There-is no division among the oppo
nents of the Democracy on the Congres
{fional question, in the other counties in
tlte district, and there should he none in
jHaiv; hence we consider the article in the
Whig exceedingly impolitic, entirely un
.for and- destined to decrease the
Xiuws for nomination, by the union Con
terence, of those recommended through
dm columns of that paper, unless it is
tKo to-elect without the aid of
American votes.
Editorial Excursion.
*Qn Friday and Saturday last, our town
wte honored with the presence of a num
ber of editors and other distinguished men
from Philadelphia and vicinity, prominent
among whom was Morton McMichael, of
the North American ; . JohnW. Forney,
of the Press , and Chief Justice Lewis.
The cntiic Company numbered about 40
persons. They came up on invitation ex-,
tended them by the Board of Directors of
the Allegheny Mountain Health Institute,
at Cresson. While in this place, they
visited all the shops and places of interest.
Wc copy the following extracts from a
long article in the jßnen,,of Monday last:
At Altoona the tourists were glad to be onoe
settled comfortably on tom firms, and to eiyoy
the hospitable shelter of the Logon Honse.—
This hostelry at the great centre of the opera
tions of the Pennsylvania Baiiroad Company is
almost colossal in its proportions, and fora
town of five thousand inhabitants 1 may be con
sidered a wonderful sample of American-pto-
gress.
The internal economy of the honse is com
plete in every department, and in all the ppints
of a well-ordered hotel, of the first-class, it
challenges comparison with eny in -the great
seaboard cities. That it should be superior ta.
even the first-class hotels in Europe need not be
Wondered at, for everybody knows ~that even
the best of these are only tolerable when coin'
pand with the noble caravansaries which abound
ail over the Union/hat it. is verydonbtfal
whether it is hot almost superior to even the
most celebrated in; our great cities.. The mar*
vel is to fiud sucha house, provided with all
the elegancies and substantial comforts of the
most luxurious and palatial residences, on the
summit of the AHeghanies—on a fable-land
some elevenfiqndzed-ftoi above .the level which,
wc bad left only a few hours before.
After a good night’s rest, Which was the more
enjoyed as the thermometer indicated a temper
ature of 68 degrees, the excursionists rose, and,
prepared to make a personal inspection of the
immense network of machine-shops connected
with the .Con.tnd Bead, The whole place, in
fact) owes its existence to this railroad compay;
for within the last eight years there was only a
single, log cabin, (which still remains, and ought ■
to be preserved) on the sito where now are com- 1
fortablo homes for several thousand people,
with all the necessary' civilizing adjuncts of a
large town, including a good newspaper.
The next step set down in the programme'
was a visit to Grosson, a point about fifteen
miles west, and about twenty-two hundred feet
above the level of bur Delaware. The railroad
from Altoona to thia elevation is certainly one
of the greatest triumphs of engineering over
achieved. Gradual as tho ascent appears, itis
at the rate of ninety-fire feet to the mile, or
about one in fifty-five. There was only one
feeling among the tourism on this point, namely,
of delighted admiration. Several who had tra
versed the beaten and now familiar roads of
European travel emphatically declared that
even Napoleon's? far-famed road of tho Simplon
was inferior to the wonderful path over which
the iron.steed passed, with as much rapidity as
safety. |Tho solid mountain cut through, the
iron rails securely laid down, the most pictur
esque scenery, the most exquisite blending of
the beautiful and the sublime—these formed a
combination most marvellous, we might have
said most overpowering.
It is usual to compare tho mountain scenery
of one locality with that of another. We may
therefore say that the difference, as it struck
ns, between the AUeghanios in Pennsylvania,
and the mountains in Switzerland, can be sta
ted in a single sentence. Wc do not compete
i with Mont Blanc, poetically immortalized as
“ the monarch of mountains,” but this railroad,
along wbiob we were whirled, gives us a new
point of view. In Switzerland, the roads are
in the valleys and the traveller, driven along
them, looks up at the mountains which surround
him. But, from tho Alleghanics which we as
cended, wc .looked down upon the lovely vallics,
surrounded with lofty hills, and surely such a
succession of scenery we never before bad seen.
, Grandeur and beauty were charmingly blended.
At every new view, of particular attraction,
where the scenery was boldly grand and origi
nal, Mr. Foster made the locomotive pause, to
permit all to feast themselves with snatches of
such rare beauty. Nothing so overawing in
pointof sublimity, can be Imagined without
‘ seeing it. Wo fhril not attempt to describe
the indescribable. ■■ .
One very grateful and well-deserved act was
performed at Altoona, on Friday evening, name*
• 1/, the organization, under the presidency of
Chief Justice Lewis, of the tourists into a
‘Tneeting,” at which thanks were voted to Mr.
foster, Vice-President of the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad, to the directors of the Cres
ses Health Institute, and to Dr. Jackson; to
Mr. Campbell, of the Mountain House, and to
D. B. Miller & Co., the proprietors of Logan
House, Altoona.
■ As these resolutions will be published in our
own and other Journals, when drafted by the
Secretary of the meeting, we only here have
stated the fact that they were unanimously and
gratefully passed. Hot we mnst add that the,
visitors are under the. greatest personal obliga-'
tiona, hot ontyto Mr. Miller, butto.Mr. Waite?
C. Hoe, of Logan House, who gratified aillheir
wishes, and actually seemed to anticipate them.
He is one of Hid most courteous, 'attentive,.in
telligent gentlemen We have ever met, and Hie
opinion we thus express is shared, we know, by
ollibe party. He has their best wishes and
thanks. -
The Logan House, which the party quitted
with regret, at noon'on Saturday, merits a more
detailed description than we can new give.—
Xhe following statistics, however, will convey
some idea of its extent and completeness:
Xhe whole length of * the boUding 286 feet, ''
depth of wings 88 feet, back buildings 158 feet
The principal floor contains 1 dining room 140
feet long bySSfeel wide.. Hast wing contains
8 drawing rooms 26 feet by 34. West wing, 1
gentlemen’s parlor, smoking-room, ■ and offibe.
The centre of the building is two stories high..
The’ wings are four stories high. The back
buildingjTarc 8 stories high. The verandah, 12
feet wide, extending 450 feet around the bail
ding, and is constructed of best styles of iron
work.
The second story contains forty-seven cham
bers, four parlors, six bath-rooms, with cold
and hot water, and four sets of water-closets.
The third story contains thirty-one chambers,
two parlors, and two bath-rooms. The fourth
story contains thirty-four chambers.
Mr. Thomab Burchinell, master builder to the
Railroad Company, superintended the erection
of the Logan House. The design, we believe,
originated with Mr. Strickland Eneass, of our
city. Design and building arc admirable.

Misses. Editors Since the issueing 6t this
patent, it has received many flatteringooU***
and universal praise. The newspaper* hare
spoken of it in the highest
ing will show. The Harrisburg JSentld, of the
13th Inst, saysi' • ;
Valuable Ixvxsnost.—Great Lft9a*mgl»-
provenunL —We have at several different pen*
ods spoken very favorably in regardtothe inn
protement which ear fellow dtixen, Mr. C. B-
Cotter, has made and received a patent for, in
reference to the coupling of railroad care. The
merits *f this invention are of so, peculiar and
useful a nature, that we feel it a duty that we
should give a 'more lengthy description of it
than has yet appeared in print. The new coup
ling consists of two distinct (pieces, which are
fastened separately into the ears in the same
manner almost'as the ordinary coupling, and
can be fastened into anySortof cars. The rear
section is a solid piece of iron, with a spear sha
ped head, back of which the iron tapers gently
to a greater thickness. The front section, or
part tn the rear of the front ear, consists of two
-heavy springs, double the width of the rail on
which the car runs, with a “ ketch ” on the end,
that receives the spear shaped head above- men
tioned. By this arrangement, two cars coming
into contact with onelanother, wall immediately
become connected, and cannot be cast apart un
less in case of an accident, such as the improve
ment is principally intended to obviate, or by
the regular manner provided for. To discon
nect the cars, regularly, the exceedingly dan
gerous practice of going in bettreon thqm is not
required, but all that is needed is to step upon
the platform, move a “right and left*’screw
which unite the springs, and by a slight turn
they are opened widej enough to allow the coup
ling to become detached. By means of the
spear shaped head, and the peculiar form of the
“ketch” in which it! is received, the coupling
is,jiWith unavoidable {precision, immediately de
tached, in case of either car running off the
tracks the breaking flown of one or the other,
or the overturning of either.
The great advantages of this invention may
bfe perceived by any {person of ordinary talent
at a moment’s thought. Nothing that has ever
been produced in railroad inventions surpasses
it in the mighty consequences which its intro
duction must effect; The inventor has had a
very extensive experience in railroad life, and
the present effort has been the result of a long
and earnest study upon the subject.. Mr. Cot
ter has received letters of the most favorable
character relative to his invention, from rail
road men high in authority in this State, and
wc hope before a period of much length passes
by, be may have toe proud satisfaction of seeing
his labors crowned With success, in the general
introduction of his improvement upon the rail
roads of the country.
The Harrisburg Telegraph of the 7th Inst.,
says:—
Cottkb’s Patent Cab Couplings.—Our fe!
low townsman, C. 8.-Cotter, Esq., who was en
gaged for a number of years as Weigh Master
and State Agent on the Allegheny Portage Rail
road, ond more latterly as Mail Agent on the
Philadelphia and Reading and Dauphin Susque
hanna Railroads, and having, consequently, a
large practical experience in Railroad matters,
has within a few days completed and patented
a most important improvement in Car Couplings.
The peculiar advantages of this invention are
said to consist in the fact that it is self connec
ting and self adjusting, while upon any disar
rangement occurring by the cars running off
the track, the breaking of a wheel or an axle,
it Instantly detaches and disconnects itself.—
This invention basJ we are informed, been care
fully examined by p largo number of scientific
and practical railroad men, <uid pronounced by
them, a most valliable improvement. Among
these we are advised is H. J. Lombacrt, Esq.,
late Superintendent, and now Vice President of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, R. C. Cul
len and Geo!. A. Ricbols, Esqs., President and
Superintendent of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad, with many others. Wo congratulate
Mr. Cotter upon bis good fortune in completing
on invention, on which he has spent much time
and thought, and which promises such impor
tant results in safety to life and property on
our railroads,, and likewise such substantial ben
efit to himself. We ore the more pleased to
make this announcement os Mr. Cotter, is we
believe, a practical printer, and for a number
of years printed and edited a paper in the nor
thern part of this State.
The Lykens Journal of the 15th and 22d inst.,
says:—
“ Valuablk Intentios. —Wo have within a
few days, had much pleasure in examining a
new invention which is destined to effect a
great saving in lifis and property. Tho inven
tion referred to is'an improved car-coupling in
vented by Mr. C. B. Cotter, of Harrisburg. It
is so arranged that in case of accident, by run
ning off the track* upsetting or breaking down,
the train is disconnected at once, so that but
one car leaves the track or is damaged, The
operation of making up trains, which is attend
ed with much danger with the present couplings,
is by this improvement rendered an automatic
operation, the simple backing together of the
cars being all that is nepessary. The cost of
the improved coupling is but little greater than
the common while its simplicity, efficiency and
safety mpst render it by far more economical
and commend it to the attention of railway
companies.”
“Mr. Cotter, whoso now coupling we no
ticed last week, was here, a few days, exhibi
ting his invention to the managers of the Ly
kens Valley Railroad. Wo learn tnat Mr. Fos
ter, the superintendent, intends trying the In
vention as soon as he can spare the cars long
enough to have it fitted. Had this coupling
been in use on the New York and Erie roads,
but ene ear would have left the track in the
late accident”
Mark the Reference to the New York accident!
The Harold calls it a u life-taving Improvement I’’
The results of this Improvement in saving pro
eri>/, aB well as life, arc startling when properly
contemplated. The inventor made aiT-ex

22d inst, preparatory to introdudng it upon the
Fenruylvania Railroad; Col. Scott Is at once I
one pf the greatest Railroad managers in the
world, and no man does more for the benefit of
both a Company and the public than he docs.
The saving ofcobtfiy the breaking of cars, (as
done-by the present mode by drawing them
along when off ithe track,) together with the
saving Of human life and the cost of penonot
damage, are objects of too much importance to
escape bis sagajdty and economy, Mr. Ward,
who stands high! for scientific and mechanical
skill, will undoubtedly coincide with Col. Scott

The most serious accident that has ever oc
curred on the happened
Express train (which leaves Jersey City at 5.80
P. M.,) on Thursday, six miles east from Port
Jervis, at about 9 Vcloek P. M. The train con*
•isted of a locomotive, six passenger cars and
one baggage crate. There were about 150 per
sons on thetrain. They had just stopped at
Comer where passengers .take tea,
and then proceeded westward at the rate of
about 85 miles an hour. - On approaching a
i place, known as “Shin Hollow,” where the road
Is straight, with a “steep embankment, some for
ty feet in depth on one ride, the locomotive
struck a .broken rail, which it jumped, carrying
along the crate and the first four passenger cars.
The two rear cars, however were thrown from
the rail, and, after being drawn over the sleep
ers for some distance, de coupling broke, which
connected these, two cars with the rest of the
train, and they were both thrown over the em
bankment. The rear ear turned two or three
times completely over, while the other made bpt
one turn and a half, remaining bottom up. The
last car was torn to fragments, one ofthe heavy
iron trucks passing through the bottom and
crashing to death sereral of those ,^ithin. All
the deaths occurred in this ear, fflil* -In this,

living last evening whose injuries areso serious
that it is thought they cannot recover.:
For over on hour a scene of the wildest con
fusion prevailed around the spot. All delights
having been extinguished, de surrounding
darkness added to the horror of their situation.
While some labored industriously to extricate

Us effects were so wonderful, we ; focl It ear duty to yoa

Our littlo son’s bead for some time had been perfectly
covered with sores, and some called- it scald bead. Tbs
ha'r almost entirely came off in consequence, when a friend,
seeings hie sufferings, advised us to nse your Beslorativo,
we did so with little nope of success, but to our surprise,
and that of all onr friends, a Very few applications remove 1
tho disease entirely, and a new and luxnrient crop of hair
soon started out and we can now say that our boy has si
healthy a scalp, and as Inxurfctat a crop of hair as ssy
other child. .We can therefore, and do hereby recommetd
yont Restorative, as a perfect remedy for sll diseases oftha
