from the Harriiburg Patriot & Union
of Monday, we • clip the : following particulars
of a railroad accident passenger train
of cars due here at 7' o'clock p. m. last Sat:
urday, when about four, miles from Balti
more, was thrown from the track by the sud
den parting of the rails, and the locomotive
and several of the cars broken considerably.
There was a large number_ of passengers on
the train; all of whom fortunately escaped
without serious injury. After the rails
spread, the cars :ran for a considerable dis
tance over " the sills ; and Conduetor Craw
ford, who it appears, was collecting tickets
at the time, apprehending from the rough
jolting' of, the cars that something - was wrong,
ran out to the platform, where, perceiving
the - state of affairs,. he 'leaped to the ground,
just as the- car itself upset, under which ,he
unfortunately fell and was instantly killed—
his .'head• and 'shoulders being shockingly
mangled. The baggage master also leaped
from the cars, but • escaped with trifling in
jury.
The call - of the State Corinittee_ of
the People's party of this. State for the next
State Convention, 'designates February 22,
1860, as the day upon which it is to be held.
ancl i , - it is " to indicate their, choice for. the
next. Presidency, nominate a candidate for
Governor,'from an electoral ticket, appoint
Senatorial, and to designate the time and
mode Of electing District delegates to the

leer We notice by, a number of our ex
changes that Dr. C. W. Moore, of Coalmont,
is favorably spoken of for Sergeant-at-arms
.of the House of Representatives at the next

it all their own way, we hope the Doctor may
be successful.

[Correspondence of The Press.]
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18, 1859.
It will
.not be the fault of violent men in
both sections of the Union if the seed sown
at Harper's Ferry does not produce a fearful
crop.. As I have stated before, in this corres
pondence, the Southern people have bad the
greatest provocation in the late tragedy ; but
those who are inflaming their minds, and de
manding rash and unnecessary
are, in. my opinion; governed by wrong mo
tives.. Iput out of sight the alternative:now
deliberately contemplated in some of the
Southern. - papers, that this state of feelings
must end in blood-shed. All such remedies
can only be suggested by wild: and ungovern
able passions; : but we should not close our
eyes to the- danger of geographical parties,
now more imminent than it has ever been.—
This was the alternative apprehended in 1856,
growing out, of -the Kansas troubles ; but it
,
now assumes a more startling asped- in view
of the late events.- Consolidate. the South on
its extreme platform, and you consolidate the
North on a Northern platform. In.that event
victory goes with the majority, and we are
daily told that Secession will then be insisted
upon by the minority; -
And what of secession ? He is no true pa
triot who proposes to - discuss secession as inju
riouS alone to the South. It would he a fear
ful calamity to all. our. happy country. To
the:"Sonth it "could not 'fail to come surroun
ded' With incalculable evils. Its frontiers
would bristle with . bayonets,
,and run red
with blood. Internally it would be Convulsed
with inconceivable alarms. In many cases,
overawed by its servile population, it would
be compelled to live, as it were, in a contin
ual state of war. Every one of its Pities would
be a garrison ; and nearly all- its male. citizens
soldiers. No compensation would come to.it
through a commerce with nations committed
against its popular institution.
And what of the North ? Would our con
dition be any Letter ? Would it not be worse?
I have no patience with Northern men who
look upon Secession with nomplacency:-
haVe.no patience with those who tell me that
PennSylvaniaamatains within herself, all the
elements, .of an independent existence, and
that in:the event of a separation of these
States, the dividing. line being that run -be
tween the slave and' the . free confederacies,
the North ,and West could go on in their ca
reer rejoicing. Would there be no sympathy
for our imperilled Southern brethren ?
Would we be any more at, peace than they ?
Would not fanaticism ter .at our than
?
Would not demagogues rail' and rave, in our
Midst, 'and would not faction breed and fester
in our bosoms, paralyzing our industry, di-
Vidingour 'churches, separating families, and
making us a mockery before the world ?
And 'all for what?. This is the great ques
tion. Simply to, gratify a few:men in .either
section, who, on the. :one hand, demand imr
practicable legislation'for , the protection of
slavery; and, on the other, delight in conse
crating' a few ,madmen into political saints,
because they have attempted to carry fire and
*sword into a Christian community.— Occa

The Alarm at-Charlestown.
Another. Incendiary Fire—The Expected At-
tack not made
Altar, Nov. 18.-=The messen
ger sent to Charlestown, last night, was de
tained outside of this town over two hours
and a half before the guard Would permit his
departure, and he was alsoi detained till four
o'clock on his return.
A very large fire occurred during the night,
about four miles from Charlestown, and the
military were ordered out, expecting an at
tack ; but none was made. The •particulars
of the fire- could - not be ascertained by the
messenger, but they will probably be known
on the arrival here of the train •from Win
chester.
'RICHMOND, Nov. 18.—Six companies of
military are - under arms, ready to start for
Charlestown at a moments warning. None
have left yet.
WASHINGTON ; Nov.lB.—A company, Com
prising eighty-seven infantry and riflemen,
left Alexandria for Charlestown by the early
train, via the Relay House. Capt. Duffey's
company.of sixty . men and four guns went
by a separate train on the Manassas road via
Strausburg. From thence they are to march
18 miles to Winchester.
THE CAUSE OF THE LAST EXCITEMENT.
HARPER'S ' FERRY; . Nov. 18. 1 —The excite
ment last night was caused by the burning
of a wheat stack, about three miles from
Charlestown.
The military,and i the whole vtiatilatre were
called to arms, and the wildest
.among_ the people, with
.the supposi
tion that Col. Davis had some ,informatiorf of
an approaching danger:
The - panic• among the people= extended to
the Colonel, and a messenger was sent--by
hint to Harper's Terry ; with a dispatch to the
Governor, calling for two companies of cavalry.
This morning,_ the fire was found to be . the
work of an unknoWn incendiary; buf,na per
son could be found in the 'country -on whom
suspicion -could rest. -
• There aremow a thousand-men under arms,
- and no enemy to be found to encounter.
The troops 'from - Alexandria -arrived at
Charlestown this afternoon, and those by the
way of Winchester- are expected to-morrow
morning. ' • . .
The Baltimoreand Ohio Railroad-Corripany
haVe sent , Col. - Shutt, with an 'drn - ied possee,
to Harper's Ferry, to:guard the bridge and
property of the-Company at!that point.
- • There is much dissatisfaction -both here and
at Charleston at the precipitate action of Col.
Davis,.in sending dispatches for troop;3;in
stead of - first sending 'out a posse to-inquire
into the cause of the fire. The people think
they have been made to appear in a ridicu
lous light before the • country,-and 'they are
more than half right on that point
• WistuNcroN, Nov. 18.—Government, to-day
ordered 200 pounds of powder, a large num
ber of Minnie balls and howitzer shells from
the Washington Arsenal to •Harper's Ferry.
The - Result.
•
[From tlioMouutaineer, Ebensburg, Cambgia, Co.]
Once .more is-the disagreeable duty assign-,
ed . us of -chronicling the defeat of the Demo
cratic State_ticket, , arid a. portion of the 'Dem
ocratie county ticket. However useless it
may be to mourn over it, we feel that it is prop
er and right to esamine.into the cause which
produced" the disaster and every right feeling
Democrat should look-the facts boldly in the
face, in order that we may profit by the •ex
perience of the past. - When- the 16th. of
March Convention placed its Candidates upon
a platform to whiclea large body of the Dem
ocrats.of , thee-State was opposed; •when the
trickstere.who controlled that Core
eention .refused to
,endorse,:the official acts of
one of the-purest andbest Governors the State
has ever had, we saw, at once, the utter im
possibility of -electing the ticket, and so ex,
pressed our opinion through the columns-of
the . Mountaineer. Still, believing that the
Convention which nominated the ticket was
regular, we could not refuse cur ; support to
its nominees, and we only hoped that the.ma
jority of the opposition would be so small,
that we might not go into the: canvass of 1,860
with an overwhelming
.defeat .to overcome,
and we have not been disappointed. Our
party is defeated, but• not vanquished. The
evils resulting from the acts of that-Conven
tion, unfortunately did not stop with the de
feat of the State ticket. The seeds of discord
there sown, produced fruit in every county
in the State. Democrats became. carelesse-:
the opposition active., A deadly stroke was
made at the Legislative nominees in every
county, and the result we have before us.-
We were, indeed, sanguine of the election of
our candidate for the Senate, and the large
vote whiCh he received in the county where
he Was born and known, must be, a source of
just pride to him. But the odds-against him
were too,great. He was made to carry a load
under. which po Livieg man could bear up.—
Our candidate for Assembly would have been
elected, had it not been for treachery in our
own ranks. With a majority of about three
hundredin favor of the State ticket, Mr. Lit
zinger should have been elected. Nothing
was .nor could he urged against either his fit
ness or his Democracy, and. those who . con
tributed to his defeat, may yet have cause
to.regret it. The defeat.of Messrs. Durbin
and Litzinger, must, however, be attributed
to
,the Democrats who staid away from the
election. On comparing the vote with that
of Mr. Buchanan in 1856, we find that the
opposition polled this fall within seventy-two
votes of as..many as that election, whilst the
Democratic vote falls eleien .hundred and
nineteen ehert—and the falling off occurs in
the Democratic districts. For instance,:our
vote in Allegheny falls 0ff,163 votes ; in Car
roll, 126 ; Clearfield, 301 •Conemaugh
.Bor
ough, 136 ; which makes a total in these dis
tricts of 455 votes, sufficient to - have elected
them both. It is a sad fact:for the. Democr
acy that, in a county which. gave Mr. Buchan
' an in 1856 thirteen hundred and twenty-two
of a majority, there 'should be - a : fallingoff of
over one thousand votes on the State • ticket,
and the Democratic Assemblyman be defeat
ed. Yet it is a fact, and must.be attributed
to the. fatal policy
,of- the National Adminis
tration making its acts the test of Democracy:
With a Demecratic, platform • and a. proper
candidate, we have ne.hesitation in pledging
Cambria. for • thirteen hundred_ majority for
the Democratic candidate for- President .in
1860: But the candidate and Platform must
both be sound to the Core:
Mysterious Disappearance , of a Consta r

Family and Elopes with another Man's
Wife.
We halie another"" mysterious disappear?
ante" - to record.. Some weeks ago a man
named Adam • Kemerer, Constable and Tax
Collector of the borough of Millville, Com
bria connty, suddenly and mysteriously dis
appeared, taking with hire about six hundred
dollars of the public funds; 'anti another man's
wife! Tlio facts of the affair. we copy from
the Cambria Tribune, as followd .
On -the sth Of October last; Adam Kemerer,
who held the office Of Constable in the neigh=
boring borough of Millville, left • his home
upon pretence of going to Blair county for
the purpose of arresting a,man for whom he
said he had a warrant - . On the same day;
the . wife of George Beam, of Yoder town
ship, left her• home to visit her mother,' as
she said, at, • Freeport, Armstrong county.—
Several days - elapsing 'without either of them
returning or: being heard from, inquiry was
made concerning them by their respective
friends, but nothing satisfactory was obtained.
Sufficient, however, was• ascertained to war
rant the suspicion that the truant couple had
gone off together. It was learned that Kern
erer had no such warrant in his hands as he
pretended to have, nor' could he be traced in
any direction. These and other circumstan
ces equally unfavorable, seemed to force the
conviction that he had left his home with no
intention of returning; and the failare to
hear anytffing of Mrs. Beam, the fact of• her
sudden and unexplained departure on the
same day, coupled with•the further fact that
suspicions of an improper intimacy between
the parties had for some time previously ex
isted, seemed also to warrant the conclusion
that they,had eloped together and gone to
parts unlinoWn. Their protracted' Abience,
and the continued silence of both confirms
that conclusion, and leaves no doubt of their
guilt, and that they have deserted their re
spertive families forever. :Not a line or a
word has been received' from either of them
since their. departure, nor has any trace or
clue been discovered, to their whereabouts.—
Kemerer left' behind him a wife and three
children, find, his guilty- companion - left .two
children to. the' care of her deserted bus

Broderick's Death--The Scarlet Letter.
The California papers make a remarkable
chapter of revelations, .which may lierhaps
afford some additional explanations Of. Brod
erick's death. It is now known that when
Broderick' held the California legislature of
1857 in his own hands, , .Gwin implored and
received. his election_ to the U. S. Senatean
the strength of a letter, which cringingly prom
ised to; Broderick, his old enemy, the leading
place towards the administration in its dis
posal of. patronage in California. It is also
known that . Gwin made repeated efforts to re
call this letter,. oftentimes approaching, his
colleague with the humblest supplication for
it, in Washington. letter was then how
ever, in the keeping of Wm. L Ferguson of
the California Senate. Ferguson was called
out and shot, seemingly without due provo
cation, and the same day Ms desk in the Sen
ate chamber was rifled of its contents. The
letter was not among these papers, but Fer
guson had already disclosed its hiding place
to Gen. Estill, just before his death. Estill
recei'vedit and soon after died, no OnalinOw
ing the cause. He had, however, previously
informed Broderickwhere it might be found,
and the now. deceased Senator, becoming pos
sessed of it, first gave it publicity in a speech
at SacraMento On the 9th of July, with these
remarkable words :
" A curse seems to follow the secret pos
session of this letter. I give,it to the public,
that the curse May return to its author ; that
wherever he may go, by day or night, where
his presence can be recognized, the people shall
only see the letter of disgrace worn on his
forehead, as was the' Scarlet Letter worn on
the breast of Hester Prynno."
KEEP YOUR SEATS IN TIM CARS.-Of the
twelve passengers who were killed on the ex
cursion train, in Wisconsin, a few days since,
seven are reported by the papers as being, at
the time of the accident, as follows : One in
the post-office car, three in the baggage-car,
and three on the platform; of the other five .
the account does not state where they were,
but as two of them are stated to be In the
employ of the company it is to be inferred that
they were not in the regular passenger seats,
and the other three may have been in their
seats or may not, thn : papers do not - state,,but.
as not one lady wa's killed, and as they were
a large proportion of the party, the presump
tion is not one of the men killed- was-where,
by the rules of the company and by the dic
tates of common prudence, he should have
been. Had that " notice to the passengers"
on the car Ow; forbidding thein to'stand on
the platforin, been regarded, not life would
have been lost. Why' will- not passengers
obey that rule ? 'The -answer is plain. ' In
'Many instances they are so wedded to tobac
co that they must smoke even at the peril of
their lives.—Cleveland Rerald.
