Political and c .„ ~ The Iwts Batlroadefdea The i3ehimore Patriot give Lbe tohjsineil-par 'imitate: • The folli.wing additional sad reliable information we gather from Mr. Abat and Mr. Mary, of Louis ville, vho reached here last night, and are now at Barnum's, where they are receiving the atter:Coo of a - physicists. 'Mr. Abet is considerably bruised, and Mr.-Henry slightly, but will be able to ge to New Vert us they intended, in a day or two. We learn from these gentlemen that in the two cars which went over the precipice, there were seventy-four paesengers, only twelve of whom were able to come threligh to Baltimore yesterday—the others, who were set killed, being too badly injured to be brought further than Cumberland. Mt. Abet it,ssisted in taking, care of Mr. Holt. \is It appears that Mr. H. was standing on the plat form talking with Mr. Rawlingt, the conductor, at the time the accident occurred. Mr. IL leaped from the platform end was saved, but Mr. Holt, be ing oa the lower aide, was precipitated down the embankment alighting among the sharp rocks, and was terribly torn and mashed. Ile lived, however, three hours, perfectly sensible, but during the last two hours suffered great bodily pain. His mind, however, was calm, and he gave his money, about forty dollars, and his gold watch, to Mr. Rawlings, with many directions to thooe watching him, about his position, so as to relieve or mitigate his suffer ings, if possible. He W 63 perfectly aware of his approaching end,..asid spoke of it without fear. We also learn that Mrs. Giese acted most nobly and coolly. - She was lacerated badly, and one of her children was instantly killed, and a ith her face lit erally catered with blood, picked up two of the children in her arms and went to the creek near by, and hilted and washed them so that they soon re vived. 10e. of these little ones died after they ar rived iw Cumberland. There were four of these, and the enly small children in the ears—two sur *tied with their parents. This family was also from Louisville. We are pleased to record that everything was done for the sufferers by Mr. Rawlings and the un injured passengers that could be done to relieve them and mitigate their sufferings. There were several shanties, and one ar two dwellings near at hand, where the dead and injured were taken, and snide u comfortable as the circumstances would al- Iww. Mr. Rawlings was considerably bruised,' but he wee indefatigable in rendering assistance to those requiring it, and labored constantly for three hours in having them removed to comfortable quarters. . There was another gentleman from Louisville, a Trenchant who was in the car a few minutes before it went over, but he left it for one in front, and of course was uninjured. Mr. Trenchard came on last night, with Messrs. Abut and Henry. This is the second wonderful escape of Mr. Abet. Revered years ago he was in a train of six cars near Paris, in Prance, which took Are, and seventy five persona lost their lives, but be escaped unhurt. Death of Mrs. Fillmore. • It is With deep regret that we announce the death of this excellent lady—the wife of •x-President Fillmore. Mrs. Fillmore had been suffering from an affection of the lungs for several weeks past, but her condition had not, we believe, been regarded as critical till, a abort time before her death, which to. placebo Wednesday morning.- This melan choly event, while awakening the sympathy of the whole country in the affliction of ex• President Fill more amf his bereaved family, will also be received with deep sensibility , by ti large circle of friends who have witnessed Mrs. Filfmure's benevolence of oharaeter andtinassuming urbanity of manner in the high waist station which she so lately occupied. Immediately upon receiving the intelligence of the sad event,,President Pierce addressed to Mr. Fillmore the'following lelterof condolence: Exaccrive MANSIO3, March 30, 1853. Mr MAR SIR: Information has just reached me of the death of Mrs. Fillmore. I beg you to accept the assurance of my earnest condulence in this great bereavement. Yielding to my deep feclinis of sympathy, and in testimony ef respect for the memory of the deceas ed, I have directed the meeting of the cabinet this day to be suspended, and the public offices to be closed. I Jig), With great cotaiderstiorn your friend, FRANKLIN PIERCE HOG. MILLARD ris.tmottai, Washington, D. C. We learn also that the Presidebt yesterday direc ted his private secretary to communicate uniacial ly the melancholy intelligence to the Senate, and to inform, that body that he should in consequence have no further communication to make to them during the day. Before this message of the Pres ident reached the senate, however, Mr. Seward, the senior senator from New York, had already an motioned the afflictive event, and the Senate had thereupon of inrned in token of its respect and sym pathy.-IVashinglon Elation. - 02'The free and easy manner in which our pea- pie transmit immense sums of gold, is a matter of , much. surprise to strangers. Not long since, one 1 of the Southern Express companies was requested to bring from Philadelphia to this City, one million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in nen ly minted geld, weighing over forty-six hundred pounds. 'Three wagons backed up to the door of the mint, having nu guar Is or watchman, except a driver for cash. The gob!, which was in bags, was thrust into the wagons like so many bags of sill, and driven to thevilice of the Company, where it was put ins large chest and sc•it to the boat.

In -Europe, this would have been carried in solemn pro cession, between double ranks of police or gend arme, while in Mexico, it would have demanded for its,protection a regimeot of soldiers.— Tribune tams sector Tex COPPRIII Mixv.s.—The }Lawn Yost says that it has been informed by an intelli gent correspondent, that he has gone over the sta tistics. of the copper mining operations on Lake Su perior, with the following results. He Hods that tweaty.ons mines upon the lake and the Ontonagon lave 224,000 *bares, which have cost by aseesss mint, $1,000,000 to the proprietors. The present market value of the whole stock of these twenty-one mines is $3,360,000, while their combined product hasalready been 10,400 tone, or $3,120,000 at the price obtained for the metal. Copper is now worth nearly or quite twice as much as it was two or three yeara ago. The previous calculation may seem unfounded to those who, because copper stocks were once the subject of a foolish speculation, believe the copper region to be valuableless. But a little in vestigation will satisfy the inquirer of the calcula tion. Thus the Cliff Mine, costing $lOB,OOO, would bring,s9oo,ooo at the present prices of stock—the Slinnisota, costing $66,000, would bring $530,000 t•-•tbeCopper Falls, costing $BO,OOO or $90,000, world bring $500,000, while the stocks of the Na tional", Forest, Phcenix, Dana, Winthrop, N.

In his twenty. eighth 'oar he occupied such a conspicuous position at the bar that he was appointed by Governor Porter, a gentleman of great discrimination. to the highly respon sible and honorable position of Judge of the Court of I 'Common Pleas of the coarsty of Philadelphia. a tribunal requiring more legal learning and industry than any ether Court in Pennsylesuis, except the Supreme Court of the State. ' la this tribunal are tried all the important came growing oat of the extensive commercial end bu shiest relations of the second city of the United Stites, and hero it was that he made that reputation forlalistrelf that pieced him ameaget ear most cionspieueue men in Peetts)lvania. For sire years he discharged the arduous sad compli• well duties of this Court and in all that time gave such universal satisfaction, that he immediately beetles. a prominent candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court of the state, when our judiciary became elective. Title mowed the jealousy of some other aspirants in Philadel pha, and an organized determiaed effort was made to de feat hie Domination. Fortenatsty the Convention to make the election of the candidates. was enlled expresely for that purpose, and never bolero or sinew has there u oothbled at Harriebergh a body of as able. honest upright men. From all the large counties the delegates were lawyers of the highest leaning and the gfoatest respect ability. To this Conventioa Judge Campbell's Cleo was submitted, after all attack* that had been made upon him, and it decided upon first helot by a vote of two thirds in his fever.

We hav e ' , c oder• ed, from seeing the large number of apparently homeless and homeless little ones, ragged and dirty, running at large, that immorality and crime did not increase in even a greater retie to the pepulatiou than it does. We have seen them in the naid,t of winter. bundling in by dozens on the fleoz of an open stairway with the naked beards for a pillow and no covering save the few tattered rags that sufficed fur their cloth through the day. and we have wandered when we hate seen them so, hew one single spark of virtue or morality could be left in them. and hundreds and hundreds of them come op thus ne glected in all large cities. And even our own city. small as it is, is not far behind. We presume hundreds might be found in Frio, who, from the different causes sot forth in ihe bill spokes of. would be subjects of the care of the institution which it contemplates establishing for their care and protection. That bill provides for their education, both moral and hate:kettle% and also prohibits even a parent from b:ing• ing up a child in ignorance and idle ness. In speaking of the present laws and their efficiency in the work assigned them, the committee say: in regard to comincki schools, the theory supposes that they will be well conducted: that the teacher will be competent to discharge his duty ably, and honest enough to discharge it faithfullj:. It is supposed, tiro, that they will be cot.- @tautly improving in their character. And so they doubt. less *1.1; and this progressive improvement will coatsnue until we shall have a system of education as perfect as may be, from the people's primary school to the people's . college, from the institotied where the first rough -cuttiug of the diamond is commenced to that where its high. est polish "hill imparteit But u yet, it must be evident that our prudes is ha hiud our theory; the fulfilment is too often a sad mock ery of the promise. There are too many homes whose inflOonci over the growing child are ouythiog but saluta ry, and too many schools under the control or incompe tent persons. Tho difficulty experienced I. partly the moult of necessity, loot more the result of tho neglect of t he Stater to discharge its whole duty; it is deo to the law. or tither the want of law. The law permits somethings and co.ipsls rionntlaings. It permits a man to select his own occupation, religion and mode of life; it compels him to respect his neighbor's occupation, religion and rights. Bat hew is it with brio ewe eiliiLirenl it compels him is support them, to for oish them with raiment, food and shelter; it permits bite utterly to negleetiheir training and occupation; it compels hiut to be responsible fur their act, until thy shall attain • certain eze; it permits him to suffer them to become vagabonds and culprits; it compels him to provide .for their physical necessities; it permits him to allow theta to grow up in idleness and vice; compels him to pefovide fee the body that shall perish; permits him totally tt otgloot, nay worse, to deprave the spirit that shall live f • For the School; the law compels us to raise money to build school houses and to employ lusher*: ityicrinits us to send our children to school or not, as we chodee. The b)unty of the State‘ furnishes the means to 'purchase ' bulks and apparatus for every school district. but every inch district may neglect or abuse that bounty if it will. The State, however, by establishing a Normil School foithe instruction of teachera, and by providing scads- mies with the means of furniahing like instruction, bra I made great and commendable progress in the right di• notion. The necessity er providing by law for the or ganization and support of these schools. is pointedly conceded, since experience has shown that it is neither prodent nor sets to leave an interest so vital to the wel fare of society, to the potilic spirit or sense of duty of in d viduals. But the necessity of also providing by law that the advantages thus aff,,rded shall be used and im proved, has not been generally admitted. Aud i yet this hitter necessity is more cogent that the form ions much+ as. If acknowledged and made effective . micas ficent results would pzecisely nub that portioU of tbs community which is lout enlightened, least seisibla to the obligations of either social or private duty. la both usu. the lame course of reasoning, the same grounds of public utility and common welfare. furnish the bilis of legislation. Fee it is the duty and right of every cdtd-• Anunity to protect itself and secure its own well-being— :to provide for its own safety. Whateter degree of con trol. therefore, ever individual action or private conduct, is requisite to secure this object is' jest and expodieni. For the State, then, the most important step yet -'Ill• mains to be taken. Public schools ehoald, not onlyl be provided. bet atteadance upon them, in certain cute should be made obligatory, For it is perfectly clear that schools can be of little benefit to those who cannot, or will not attend them. If the parent. guardian or muter of the child is intemperate. incompetent or indifferent, the law shouldogake their place and see that they, ere properly trained. If they are avaricious and desire to speculate for gain, out of the tender bone sad sinews of the child, to the entire neglect of its mental and moral culture and the debasement of its character, the strong hand of the law should restrain that avarice and enforce the child's just rights. The State constantly matfett' the action of men by enacting and enforcing, under due penalties for their violation, laws concerning crimes and misdemeanors, concerning property and the rights , end franchises of its citizens. Indeed the statutes upon these subjects fill ponderous tomes almost innumerable, while these relating to education may be cuud_used into • sin gle volume of modest dimensions. So, also, large amounts of the treuure of the State are expanded in sustaining the complicated machinery of the criminal code, and in providing prisons, penitentiaries and' jails' for the culprits whe become amenable to its engem:luta. all chi notoriety and publicity whickcan be conferred Ity a public press almost omnipresent. is given to the facts connected with the detection. trial and punishment of criminals. These pay the penalty of the law, end when they escape from its grail? they go forth again among their fellow man, tee often with the law of kindness ob literated in their hearts. The statute law his been vin dicated; society has been avenged, that is the fearful word;—but the Culprit his lost his self-respect, and the sentence which deprived him of it, becomes to him a kind of charter if sin, with which he becomes a roving vagabond to prey open the property and peace of com munity. The law has indeed been vindicated, but at the fugal price of a human soul: There is much truth in the remarks, and they should be read and thought of by all. It is a matter that all are interested in, and who can say that himself or his posterity may not be bet:tatted by the enactment and carrying oat of such a law. , We i regret that we cannot find MOM for the whole matter, for we do think it a subject worthy the consideration and attention of every env.
