heartily approved by Jthe press of Phila
delphia;, and suggestions have been made
by the North American that the road
should be continued to connect with the
railroad traversing the great valley of
Virginia and connecting with the Balti
more and .Ohio Road. "Thisis surely a
matter of interest to Philadelphia, whose
citizens should not be slow in securing so
desirable a trade as that which the open
ing of suoh a road and connection would
surely bring.
• . The Gains. —The Opposition party t
hag done well in the late elections so far*
as Congress is concerned. The following
are the gains:—,. ■ '
Kentucky
Tennessee
North Carolina .....
Oregon ....................
This considerably increases the strength
of the conservative balance of power in
that body to about thirty Representatives.
The Democrats have elected ninety-two
Lecomptonltes and six anti-Lecomptonites,
in all ninety-eight, and the Republicans
have one hundred and fourteen, and of
course neither can control the House, nor
organize it under any ultra Speaker.
Gov. Wise in Trouble. —Gov. Wise,
of Virginia, who is now playing a bold
Land to secure the Presidential nomination
by the Democratic Couvqjition at Charles
ton, has lately got himself into a “ peck o’
trouble” by letter writing, at which he
Las always been considered the most ex
tensive in the country. His late trouble
consists in the publication of a private let
ter to some New York lt is
said that he is now about to publish? a let
ter some twenty or thirty columns Ipng iu
, .right the impressions created
by. the publication of the private letter,
and also to give a history of the Albany
Regency ibr the last thirty years, as he
has known them from Jackson’s day to
the present. In nine cases out of ten the
fewer letter politicians wrke, either for
Publication or to private individuals, the
better for them. x.

A Correct Verdict.-- We are pleas-1
ed to learn that the Coroner’s jury who
Sohagticoke railroad slaughter
under consideration have dared' to call
by their proper names and have
rendered a.verdict in accordance with the
facts in the Case.- They say that the’
bridge where the massacre took place was
H rotten, unsafe, and known to be so
and that the Superintendent and Direc
tors of the road should be held responsi
ble. May we not hope that they will be
brought to strict account for thus know
ingly jeopardizing the lives of all the pas
sengers who | have lately passed over the
road, and finally hurrying a number of
their fellow creatures off the stage of ac
tion with scarce a moment’s warning.—
The District Attorney, within whose jad
diction this ease has fallen, will not per
forin his duty, should he fail to act at
once in the verdict and bring the matter
before a grand jury, with a view to the
indictment of the parties pointed out in
the fault.

Duel with Knives.—A desperate fight

The Jews In America.
In a lecture delivered by Dr. Morris J. Frank
lin, iu Providence, on Sunday evening, and re
ported in the Providence press, the speaker
said : The Jews of this country how number
about 200,000. In New York city alone there
are 40,000. The attention of the Jews ip Eu
rope is turned towards America on accoiint of
the persecutions to which they are subjected iu
some countries on the continent, and a rapid
increase of thoir numbers here may be expected
by immigration. Many Jews in this country
are occupying prominent and influential posi
tions in politics and business. Messrs. Yulee
and Benjamin, of the United States Senate, and
Messrs. Zollicoffor, Oliver, Philips and Hart, of
the National House of Representatives, are
numbered, among the children of Abraham.—
Instead of reading the Scriptures in the Hebrew
tongue, understood only as the Rabbi interprets
it, many now use the English version. These
hatfe introduced many reforms into their mode
of worship—they have now their choirs, their
organs, and their Sabbath Schools. The Heb
rew Christians, the converted Jews, in this
country, number three or four hundred, and of
this number nearly one hundred are engaged in
preaching, the Gospel of Christianity, or in a
coarse of study preparatory for doing so.
Desperate Row is St. Louis.— The St.
Louis papers give the details of a prize fight
which-took place on an island seven miles above
Alton, op Thesday, between Shanghai Connor,
of St. Louis, and James Byrnes, of New Orleans.
Twto steamers transported the crowd from St.
Louis to:the battle-field. Near fifteen hundred
persons assembled about the ring. Fourteen
rounds were fought. On the last round Connor
was struck while down, and the cry of “ foul
play” was raised, and Connor awarded the vic
tor. A toiribie row ensued. The Democrat
says: “Stripped, bloody and ragged, Byrnes
dared Connor to come out and finish the fight,
which he declined. Then many of Connor’s
men rushed on shore and joined their comrades,
and a scene of riot and murderous attack fol
lowed which baffles description. Knives were
freely, used; bottles, sticks and rocks were
hurled, and at last a shot was fired. This was
a signal for a general drawing of pistols, and
some one hundred shots were rapidly fired.—
Those who had not pistols rushed for their boats,
which at the same time besan booking off from
the shore. There was then a heavy rush to get
on board,: and some forty persons were instantly
in the river. Certain skiffmen pulled away iu
terror, leaving the victims to swim or drown, as
they might. One or two fights actually occur
red in the water. The swimmers at length
scrambled on board, not knowing bow many bad
sunk and been drowned. Probably three or
four perished, at least.”
The Ska Sekpent.— The Monster Caught.—
The Yarmouth (Mass.) Register says that the
far-famed sea-serpent has lately visited that
port, and was chased up a narrow creek and
caught. He tamed out to be a horse mackerel,
measuring over eight feet in length and weigh
ing 816 pounds. The Register says :—lt is the
opinion of experienced fishermen that this is the
fish which hns given rise to the belief in a sea
serpent. When it is running at its ordinary
in search of prey it moves along just un
der the surface of the water, producing a wave
rises up in a series of corrugations for
about one hundred feet in a straight line, before
it fails off into the ordinary Bprcadin<*> wake
by a boby moving through the s water.
This appearance in moderate weather so closely
resembles that of a hugh serpent moving over
the surface of the water that it is difficult, even
for- those accustomed to the appearance, to re
alize that it is nothing but a wave, and it is not
strange that when seen for the first time, it
shquld strike the beholder with' terror.

Desperate Jump or a Drunken Mas. — Says
the Trenton American :—We witnessed on Sat
urday afternoon an attempt to break a neck,
.which, nine times out of tea, would have been
completely successful. When the train for New
York, at 6.15, was near the trosUo. work, we
saw a man rush up to the conductor, and ask to
have the train stopped in order that he might
get off, as he ‘Wished to go up die Belvidere
road, amd had mistaken the train. The conduc
tor told him; that this was impossible, find that
he must go to Princeton and take the train
back. After some words the passenger turned
around, and hurried through the car to the door
in the rear. Seeing that he was very much ex
cited, we watched his motions, and'saw him
step upon the lower step where he stood a mo
ment until the train had passed a party of la
borers at work upon the road, when he sprung
off, the train at the time running at a speed of
fifteen or twenty miles an hour. He alighted
upon his feet, but -scarcely touched the ground
before he pitched head first in the ditch, and
out of that by a backward summersault, and
rolling over and over fetched up some ten feet
from the track, in the meadow. The last wo
saw'of him he was trying to get up. Of course
the passengers who witnessed the ground and
lofty tumbling were much alarmed, and the con
ductor was abont to stop and run back to pick
up the dead or mortally wounded man ; howev
er, on being told that there were laborers upon
the spot, he concluded to go on and telegraph
from Princeton to the agent at Trenton, who,
| on receiving the despatch, at once made inquiry
i as to the fate of the jumper, when he found
| that far from being killed, he had jumped up,
set off on a run, and actually caught and jump
ed aboard the Belvidere train. So far ns could
be ascertained, be had not sustained the least
injury. •
Life-Presebving Railroad Car. —The New
York Post notices, among the latest inventions,
a Life-Preserving Rail Road Cur, made at Pat
terson, New Jersey. It is constructed entirely
of iron, of strong iron braces and girders, and
of iron panel pieces, so peculiarly and ingeni
ously put together, that it would seem to be
impossible, by any amount of force, to bend or
break it, or to do injury to It, even by rolling it
down a precipice. The interior is finished off
in the most elegant manner. Every panel lias
_a fiuc papier-mache picture in it, representing
some famous view or monument; the seats are
capacious, and the ventilators are numerous ami
apparently efficient. The car, owiug to the
greater thinness of the ironsides, is eight inches
wider than the uarrow-guage cars usually are,
and weighs less by a ton than a. wooden cur of
the same dimensions. This is certainly a de
sideratum, for in proportion to numbers, the
battle of Solferino was not more fatal in the
destruction of human life, than some of the late
railroad disasters.
A Sewing Macuinr Millionaire's Coach.—
A New \o_rk Sunday paper describes the family
coach of Mr. Singer, the proprietor of the sew
ing machine, as follows This gigantic family
coach is capable of carrying just double the
number of passengers that custom has allotted
to an omnibus. It is nearly eighteen feet in
length, and contains a saloon elegantly fitted up
with luxuriently cushioned seats, mirrors, &c.,
a coupe, intended for the servants, so arranged
that it can be made into nn entirely separate
room, to be used as a smoking apartment, a re
cess for baggage, another for dogs, guns, fishing
tackle, &.c., when on sporting excursions, aud
other conveniences too numerous to enumerate.
The body of the coach is painted bright yellow,
and the interior trimmings are of the same color.
It is built in the most substantial manner, com
bining the strength of the old English mail
conch with the elegance and lavish recklessness
ot expense that distinguishes our fashionable
turn-outs, and is the invention of its owner.
Fbencu Invasion of England. —The New
Y N ork Post is ridiculing English fears of French
invasion; even if invaded by Louis Napoleon,
the editor argues that the British Lion has
nothing to apprehend “An invasion would
be a great calamity; the exposure of a com
merce worth three hundred millions of pounds
sterling a year to the hazards of wnr-would
aloue be a great' calamily ; but the wooden walls
of England are its numerous and impenetrable
ns they were in the days of the elder Napoleon :
the military resources of England are more for
midable : ami the .yeomen of Englan 1 iu case of
an invasion, would be invincible by any that
the continent could send against them, provided
that the army could be lauded, which it demon
strably could not be.”
From the New Orleans Vicnymie wc lenni
that on the 10th ult., a melancholy accident
occurred near Brandon, Miss. A Mrs. Jackson
had occasion to go, during the night, to the
window of the room in which, with her bus
band, she had been sleeping. While engaged
in arranging the blind or shutter, the husband
awoke and seized the gun. supposing that some
felonious intruder was in the room. Mrs. Jack
son advanced toward the bed, although her hus
band called out to her to stop or he should fire,
and he'actually discharged his musket at her,
and she at once fell dead. He then turned to
the place where his wife was lying beside him,
to tell her that he had killed some one, when
not finding her, the truth flsshed upon him that
he had shot his own wife.
Juniata Co. —John I. Hart mysteriously dis
appeared from his home in Tuscarnra township,
about ttvo months ago, and about one week a~o
intelligence was received by his friends that he
had been drowned in Texas. A bundle of
clothes and a carpet bag found oh the bank of
the river, containing some papers revealing his
name and the residence of his family, led to the
discoveipt that ho had been drowned. He was
at one time considered very wealthy—carrying
on a very extensive farming and tanning busi
ness, but owing to some misfortune he was last
spring compelled to appoint assignees, and ow
ing to the fact preying upon his mind, it is snp
ppsed that ho was partially deranged when he
loft his home.
A Habd Knock.—A day or two since a couple
of men were coming round a curve, on the Alle
gheny Valley Railroad, in a hand car, when
they saw a man on the track. They hallowed
to him, but he being deaf di l not hear, and
they could not stop in time. The crank
struck him, and knocked- him off the track
senseless. They were much frightened, think
ingthat he was dead. One of them ran and
filled bis oihclotb cap full of water and poured
it on hjm, which tevh-ed him. He got up, rub
bed himself, and hie irst words were, “Tyell
that w?e a d-—-d had knock you fellows gave
me. He then walked off apparently well again.

Tux Mad Stone. —We condense the following I
article from the- Linn county,’ (Iowa), Stgitfir:
•« The Rev. Mr. Clcghorn, of Gower’s Ferry, |
Cedar county, had one of his; sons bitten by a
mad- dog on the 2d inst., and alap tbehorso
upon which the boy was ridjpg at tototjme.—
Having seen the accouht>w))feb wast|fnbj|shcd §2
few days ago of Hie “in*d Ittme” ift
sion of Mr. in hi
storied wiUfdus boy
horse.. ’ the stoqe wg»,;sd|lted i»;wsWi milk;
and water,, and tbe&appUi&to the vtound. It
adhered with great tenacity—so much' so as to
canse intense pain for a few; minutes. After a
short time it seemed to fill itself and dropped
off. Aft‘r being sabmerged lh the niilk and
water again—during whiohi a green, offensive
scum would arise from the atonq—it was again
applied. After the fourth time it would not ad
here any more, and Mr. Evans pronounced him
cured. It was then applied to the wound on
the horse, to which it adhered three times only.
To moke sure of the matter* however, Mr. C.
remained over night, and tried it again in the
morning, but it would haveino effect ou either
the boy -or the horse. It-seems to be a fact
well attested that this stone trill’not adhere to
any wound not made by a rabid animal, and if
so, must confound the wisdom of the most phil
osophical.”
Bearing the Marks ioo-fPj.AiNLT. —A roan,
claiming to.be a Milanese merchant, but sus
pected as an Austrian spy, was fought before
a court-martial at Brescia. He’defeuded him
self coolly, though professing to have lost the
papers v which would confirm his report of him
self. Suddenly the colonel presiding said, —
,r Step forward ft little ! 1 cannot hear well."
The man obeyed.
•• My friend,” said the colonel, “youstepped
with the left foot first, your arms close to your
sides, and the little finger against the scam of
thh pantaloon. You aro a soldier iu disguise.
Wo know you now.” The poor fellow confessed.
Alabama “Bull Pens.’I —It seems by the
annexed, for which the Columbus (Oa.) Sun is
responsible, that, there are “ Bull Pena” in Ala
bama as well us South Carolina :
“We understand penning Voters was exten
sively practiced in the receijt election, by both
pofitical parties, iu the neighboring county of
Russell, over in Alabama; .«od we have heard
one instance related where some voters escaped,
ami were tracked up by dogs and made to come
back and perform. They are. said to bo about
three hundred floaters iu that county who have
to be cared for this way at every election.”
Death has been very busy among . the
printers of New Orleans. Five of those connec
ted with the Picayune alone have been carried
off since November last. Iu an editorial on the
subject that paper says : A But the noble senti
ment of charity and brotherly fooling that ever
characterizes the printers', in whatever part of
the world they may be found, in some degree
compensates for those lossesf and although
there is no rule that calls fop such ncPon on the
part of the printers, as a body, the widows' and
orphans’ griefs are often assuaged by the prac
tical kindness and benevolence of the friends
and associates of the loved and lost.”
