terrible Accident at Sea—Burning of
the Steamer .Austria.
Over five kundred,•Lives lost—Scenes and In
cidents—Twelve 'Survivors arrived.
HALIFAX, Sept. 27.
The Cunard steamer at sea proves to have
been the Austria. Twelve of the 'survivors
have 'arrived here; there were in all about
six hundred souls on . board the ill-fated
steamer, of which only sixty-seven were saved.
SECOND DISPATCU.
The brig Lotus ,arrived yesterday with
twelve of -the sixty-seven survivors of the de
struction' of the steamer Austria, burned at
sea on the 13th. A passenger reports that a
"little after 2 o'clock on the afternoon of the
13th, a dense volume of smoke burst from
the after entrance to the steerage;
the speed
was instantly slackened one half, at which
speed she continued going until the maga
gine exploded, when the engineers, it is sup
posed, were instantly suffocated. • The fire
next burst through the lights at midship,
traveling aft with fearful rapidity. A boat
let down on the port side was instantly crush
ed, and another on the starboard side was
swamped from the
,numbers rushing into it.
AU the first cabin passengers were on the
poop, excepting a few gentlemen, who must
have smothered in the smoaking room.—
Many of the second cabin passengers were
also on the poop, but a number were shut up
in the cabin by the fire. Some were pulled
up through the ventilator, but the greater
number perished in the flames. A woman
was drawn up who said that six were then al
ready suffocated. Several men and women
jumped into the sea by twos and threes.—
Some of the women were then already in
flames—others hesitated until driven to the
last moment by the advanenig flames
half an hour not a soul was left on the poop
deck. The French bark Maurice, Capt. Er
nest Renaud, came along side at five o'clock,
rescued forty passengers who were chiefly
taken off the bowsprit, l,ut some were strug
glinm in the water. At 8 o'clock one of the
znehle boats came up with 22 persons, in
cluding the first and second officers, awl sub
sequently four men were picked up floating
on a piece of a broken boat. The second offi
cer was afterwards rescued from the water.
Both he and the third officer was severely
burned. Many of the male passengers were
frightfully burned. Only six women were
saved, three of whom were shockingly burn
ed. A Norweigian bark went alongside of
the steamer the next morning, and sent out
her boat. She may have picked up a few
persons. The bark Maurice had no commu
nication with her. We have not yet ascer
tained the names of the saved.
EXTRAORDINAHY MunnEn nv A PHYSICIA N,
,IVE A R LOCK voRT.—A man by the name of
Philip Hawkins, and old Penisular soldier
under 'Wellington, was murdered in Wilson,
Niagara county, on Tuesday last, under extra
ordinary and peculiar circumstances. The
Lockport Courier of Thursday morning says
that Hawkins had been complaining fur sev
eral days, when Dr. John Creswell was call
ed to visit hint. The Doctor hail his patient
removed to the American Hotel, kept by 0.
R. Mason, agreeing to pay five dollars per
week if he lived, and if he did not he was to
pay ten dollars. At about seven o'clock P.
M., the Doctor came in and gave the patient
a dose of something which made him worse,
and in fifteen minutes after the Doctor ad
ministered the second dose, which produced
the most violent spasms, and awful agonies,
which continued to increase in violence fur
an hour and thirty minutes, when the patient
died. His screams during the short period
he suffered were terrible. Suspicion having
been aroused, a portion of the same med
icine which had been left in the tumbler was
secured, and ten drops were administered to a
kitten, which died in eleven minutes. Coro
ner Botsford was called to hold an inquest on
the body, Tuesday noon, which lasted until
Wednesday night. The verdict of the jury
was, that the deceased came to leis death by
poison, administered by Dr. John Cress-.vell.
A warrant was immediately placed in the
hands of Constable Grisenthwaite, of Wilson,
who arrested the accused Wedndesday night,
about twelve o'clock, at the Stevenson House,
Lockport, and placed him in the lock-up till
Thursday morning, when he was taken to
Wilson for examination.
ENGLAND AND THE SLAVE TRADE.—We
have been surprised, says the New York
Post, to learn that while England has been
compassing sea and land, to suppress the
traffic in slaves, on the west coast of Africa,
she is open to the suspicion of conniving at
the traffic, in its most barbarous and revolt
ing forms, on the other side of that conti
nent. We learn from entirely authentic
sources, that for the last twenty-five years,
the English mail steamers have shared the
navigation of the Red. Sea, with a smaller
craft, propelled by huge latteen sail, which
ply between Babel-Mandel - and Ras Mahac
ced, loaded with the kidnapped orphans of
murdered parents. Some thousand children
are annually brought to the Red Sea coast,
and sold by the Christian and Mohammedan
Abyssinians, in exchange for foreign com
modities. The great majority of these slaves,
are girls, of the interesting and well-favored
tribe of the Gallas, who inhabit the country
to the south-west of Abyssinia. .
CURE von BRONCITITIS.—One of our clever
est and most reliable friends, says the Holly
Springs Herald, informs us that common mul
len leaves, smoked in a new pipe—one in
which tobacco had never been used—is a sure
and certain cure for bronchitis, The remedy
is simple and innocent, and within the reach
of all. Recollect that this is not the remedy
of a retired physician whose sands of life
have nearly run out, but is given to us .by
one who has tried it himself and seen it tried
with others, and has never known it to fail
in effecting o. permanent cure. The remedy
is simple, and we can certainly discover no
harm likely to arise from a trial.
AN AGED lionsE.--banielGoodall, of Ecorse,
Michigan, says the Spirit of the Times, owns
a pony mare, formerly gray, but now white,
who was thirty-four years old last spring, and
has produced twenty-six foals. This mare
has never I.nown the luxury of a stable, nor
the aid of a scythe in procuring her food ;
cropping with her teeth for a living, summer
and winter, and now presents the appearance
of six or eight years of ago. She is fat and
healthy, and as active and spry as any colt,
and was daily expected. to drop her twenty
seventh
foal: - "

AI\UAL 11XHIBITION
OF THE
HUNTINGDON COUNTY
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY,
TO BE HELD AT
HUNTINGDON,
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
October 6th, 7th an.d. Bth, 1858.
The Sherman's Valley and Broad Top
, ,Railroad.
•
This railroad is the only unconstructed liuk
in an almost direct chain of railroad. commu
nication between :the. 'cities of New York,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati and • St. Louis, and
destined, when finished, to form the Atlantic
section of the Pacific railroad.
Distance from New York to Cincinnati via
New Jersey Central, East Pennsylvania, Leba
non Valley, Sherman's Valley and Broad
Top, Baltimore and Ohio, North Western
Virginia, and Marietta and Cincinnati rail
roads, is 710 miles-212 miles shorter than
via N. Y. Central, and 162 miles less distance
than via Erie railroad. Cleveland and Colum
bus, to Cincinnati. Thus it is evident that
the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, eastward,
from St. Louis, must necessarily traverse the
semi-anthracite coal basin of Broad Top,
destined to supply the cheapest and best coal
fur ocean navigation and also for locomotives.
Originally the terminus of the S. V. & B.
T. railroad was the Broad Top coal region,
distant from Harrisburg 82 miles, which may
be lessened by means of a short tunnel to 75
miles. This route to Broad Top being from
45 to 52 miles shorter than via Huntingdon
and Broad Top railroad, is certain of com
tumiditr•* a monopoly of this valuable coal
trade. Subsequent examinations proved the
necessity and also the eligibility of extending
the S. V. & B. T. railroad, so as to connect
the Baltimore and Ohio and Pittsburg and
Connellsville railroads on the West, and the
North Central, Dauphin and Susquehanna,
Lebanon Valley, Reading, East Pennsylva
nia and New Jersey Central 4aiilroads on the
East, and thus form a through railroad from
the cities of New York and Philadelphia to
Cincinnati and St. Louis, and from its West
ern terminus via Connelisville railroad to
Pittsburg and Chicago, and via Wheeling,
Columbus, Indianapolis, Springfield (Ill.) to
St. Joseph, Mo. Thus it is seen that the
three great railroad routes to the Pacific Ocean
all converge at or near the Western terminus
of the Sherman's Valley and Broad Top Road,
opening a market for the gas coals of the
Youghlogeny, and traversing the Bituminous
coal fields of the Allegheny, the semi-Anthra
cite coal basin of Broad Top and the ittkra,-
cite coal measures of Pennsylvania, and must
run over and be laid upon inexhaustible beds
of iron ores from the valleys of Lehigh, Berks
and Lebanon, through the carbonates of Broad
Top, to the iron mountains of Missouri, and
destined to become, perhaps, the greatest iron
and coal-carrying railroad of the world.
Heretofore, it was a fear of Baltimore and
New York rivalry, that prevented the con
struction of a through railroad, from New
York to the South-West ; thus has the inter
ests of Lehigh, Northampton, Montgomery,
Berks, Lebanon, Cumberland, Franklin, Ful
ton, Bedford, Somerset, Greene, Fayette and
Washington counties, been made subservient
to a mistaken policy. But the days for such
recurrences, arc gone forever. Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York, have one com
mon interest in completing this work, too
long delayed. It is not for some small por
tion of the trade of the Ohio Valley, they are
now called upon to contend, but for the com
merce of India and Europe. The hour has
arrived in the life-time of nations, when
England must surrender the monoply of the
East India trade. The nations of Europe
are about to re-open a ship navigation
through the Isthmus of Suez, and thus ob
tain easy access to the Indian Ocean ; whilst
a railroad with a double-rail track, adapted
to accommodate the trade and overland trav
el between the two worlds, must give to
these United States, a controlling influence
in the commerce of India, and build up in
this country, "the palace of an industrious,
commodious, and highly civilized social life."
When Christopher Columbus sailed due
West from Spain, he had in his mind, a
clear and distinct idea, that it was practica
ble to find a direct route to the East Indies,
and although a new world rose from the bo
som of the great deep, to arrest his progress,
yet, that route does exist; and what the genius
of Columbus originated, it is our privilege to
aid in accomplishing—a continent must be
traversed, and the railroad and locomotive
are forthcoming—a railroad route, combining
directness, eligibility and economy, had to be
selected, and a plan of railroad, with im
proved machinery, adapted to accommodate
the trade and travel between India and Eu
rope, was required, and we would contribute
the route and the double rail track, and also
give our mite, to be expended in constructing
a work, which will aid in bringing
all sec
tions of this Confederacy together, that uni
ted, our country may march to that commer
cial supremacy, towards which our geo
graphical position and the genius of our peo
ple (if aided by an enlarged and enlightened
legislation) call us.
We would therefore respectively urge on
our Representatives in the National Congress
the importance of aiding in building a Na
tional railroad, with a double rail track, from
the cities of Philadelphia and New York, to
the Pacific, in order to develope the resources
of our own country, and add to the wealth of
the nation by giving employment to our peo
ple, and a market for the surplus products,
and manufactures of our own citizens; and
to our Representatives, in the Legislature of
Pennsylvania, we would respectfully repre
sent that some.forty millions of the common
funds of the people of Pennsylvania has been
appropriated to build railroads and dig canals
through the Western, Northern, and Middle
counties, and more recently the Main Line,
and also the proceeds of the balance of our
State canals have been appropriated towards
the completion of two lines of railroads, one
through the Middle counties, and the other
through the North Western counties, leaving
only the proceeds of the revenue arising from
the three mill tonnage tax applicable to the
construction of a link in a line of railroad
traversing the North Eastern and Southern
counties of,this State, a work ofgreat impor
tance to, the citizens of twenty-one counties,
who - have'paid all of ,twenty millions of dol
lars towards the construction of works which
have developed the wealth, and opened up
the resources of the Western, Northern, and
Middle counties of Pennsylvania. We would,
therefore, demand, as a matter of equity and
justice, that this one remaining crumb, from
the feast given to our prodigal brethern, be
appropriated towards the construction of the
S. V. & B. T. R. R., until the same be com
pleted,- at Which time three rival railroads
routes, between the East and West, will serve
to protect the industry of the people general
ly.
NOTE:—On a thorough railroad from New
York and Philadelphia via. Cincinnati and
St. Louis to the.Pacifie, greater capacity, speed,
safety, and economy, both in money and time,
is required to' accommodate the local trade
-and travel on a route of 3,000 miles, together
with the trade and travel between Europe
and India. On such a route it is proposed to
use four rails instead of two, and substitute
portable parlors for those narrow, cabinecl,
eribed, confined cars, liable to be thrown from
the track on the breaking of an axle, wheel,
or rail. On a double rail track, the traction
of the engines will be doubled, the capacity
of the cars, and the height of driving wheels,
and consequently the speed of engines, will
be in proportion to the width of track.
On such a railway, with driving wheels 10
to 15 feet in height, a journey of 3,000 miles
may be performed in thirty hours, running
time, with economy in money, and with safe
ty and comfort to passengers.— Committee.
AWFUL SUlClDE.—lntemperance is still
busy slaying its victims; and on Sunday
night, our County Poor House was made the
scene of a most awful tragedy, resulting from
this wide-spread vice. A Scotchman went
there, at about 4 o'clock, on that day, labor
ing under mania a potu, and told Mr. Mc-
Graw, the Steward, that folks were after him,
and asked his protection. He was taken in
and cared for, and at nightfall, was put into
a room with some half dozed of feeble pau
pers. At about 11 o'clock, Mr. McGraw
was called to the room, and found the man
in a terrible fit of frenzy, with an incision in
his throat, made with an old knife, and
which he was laboring to tear larger, by in
serting his fingers and pulling them apart.—
The paupers all being too feeble to render
any assistance, and the man promising to re
frain from his attempts, until Mr. McGraw
would bring him a knife to complete his de
struction, the latter left to call assistance;
but whilst he was gone, brief as the space
was, the man dashed his arm through the
window, seized a large piece of the broken
glass, and, with both hands, sawed it across
his throat, so as to literally cut it from ear to
ear, severing his wind-pipe and jugular
veins, and thus causing his death in a few
minutes—all the paupers in the room look
ing on at the horrible tragedy, by the light
of a candle, which one of them held in his
hand. He was a laboring man, poorly clad,
about 28 or 30 years of age, and from a
memorandum book, in his possession, it is
supposed his name was Alexander Gilbert.

A WHALE.—A whale was captured a few
clays ago near the North river, in the Chesa
peake bay. Its mouth when opened measur
ed thirteen feet from the under to the upper
part. The tongue was as large as a common
door, and as soft to the foot as a feather bed.
The animal measures forty-three feet nine
inches in length; twenty-seven feet in circum
ference, nine feet through, and the tail fin
ten feet wide.
LADIES WANTED IN ALISTRALIA.—The latest
intelligence from Victoria contains a statisti
cal return of no little interest to ladies. By
the last return of the register general of the
colony we perceive that the numerical prepon
derance of men over women amounted to the
astounding sum of 134,000 in a population of
470,000. In other words there were only
about 168,000 women to 302,000 men.
PIKE'S PEAK GOLD MINES.—The Wyan
dotte Commercial Gazette of September 18th
says that a small boy arrived from Pike's
Peak with $l,OOO in gold, which he says he
dug down and found, and the little fellow
says he can get all he wants. These state
ments are reliable. Parties are daily return
ing for winter provisions. A Mr. Jones, an
old mountaineer, expended $l,OOO worth of
the shining dust in Independence last week,
fur his return outfit.
