/- AccipxNT.—-On Saturday evening-last a distressing
,accident 'happened at lloguestown, this county.' Tbo
Federalists of that pl&ce and vicinity, were eelebra.
late yictoryt and in firing a small cannon,
the and a portion of it struck Mr.
Ideyiki.Bobo, (who keeps a public house in Allen
township, about a mile below Bhlremanstown,) which
frAfctarqd his leg in u shocking manner. Medical
qji<i wai sooD called, but the injury to Mr. B. is con.
sidered veiy serious.
] Gct.Tacxhnatxd.— Within the lasi few weeks some
four or five deaths have occurred in our borough Tram
IhaJ most terrible disease small-pox. We therefore
opbd more urge upon ail the necessity of vaccination.
-Letcveryman woman and child in oik borough lake
heed la time, end.attend to (his matter. . ■
;A ; commiltee of the Town Council waited on us
yesterday; and requested us to mention in' onr col*
uinbs that their body had passed resolutions appoint*
ing -Dr. G. VV. Fouls, and Dr. Wu. L. Crbiqii, fur
• the purpose of vaccinating all persons in town who
• have not heretofore attended to it. They are in.
■trucked' to visit every, family—Dr. Foulk will visit
families residing south of the raihroad, and Dr.
Croigh‘ will visit those residing north of (he rail-road.
' This‘action of'the borough authorities is praise
worthy, and wo hope every family will embrace the
. opportunity presented, and have themselves vaccina,
led. In.conclusion .we may bo permitted to remark
that the small-pox does not prevail to any great
- our borough. Some three or four cases are
all thatare known.at present, and ti Is to bo hoped
that the disease has been arrested. •. ■
Family Squabbles.— The Nuwsand Despatch, at
PitUburg, are fighting about the Postniastership of
that'oily, under General Taylor, each editor being a
candidate. The News says the Despatch editor is
not a Whig though a Taylor man, and the. Despatch
retorts by showing (hat he stands, in the same pre
dicament as-General Taylor himself, who is not an
“ ultfa Whig,” though a very good Taylor man.—
JThe.qoai'rel is rather fierce at present, and on (hat
account will ,bq likely to defeat the hopes ofbolh.
.. -Gwf Tatloi’b Relations.— Captain Alison is a
brotber-in-law of Gen. Taylor; Crittenden of Ken
tucky* is a son-in-law of Alison; Jefferson Davis, of
Mississippi; Is son-in-law of Taylor; Major Bliss do.

, CCS“ Tho Voung of New
York, in his proclamation of the 36th October, for a
Thanksgiving, says:
; "Plenty has crowned our harvests— labor has been
Justly reworded, and everything around us evidences
a healthy and enduring prosperity. War, with all its
attendant evils, has passed oway.and peace,as hono
rable as welcome, has boon restored,"
MR. OLAY WOULD NOT ENDORSE!.
We were not a little surprised to sco that Henry
Clay did not vole for General Taylor at (ho late elec
tion 1. It was a well known fact that Mr. Cltiy refu
sed to endorse the nomination of tho General, but
we had no idea that lie would refuse to vole for him.
Well; wo give Mr. Clay credit for one act of h\s lut
. ier life. ~'
, ■
It. is said by some Whig opologist of Mr, Cloy 1
that ho was sick, and could not vote- This excuse
would do tolerably wo)), but for the fact of General
' James Taylor of Now Port, Ky., who died on the day.
of,tho election, was waited on at his house by the
Judges of election, who received his dying vote. If
..Mr*Clay was anxious to vote, as is alleged by the
Louisville Journal, why did they wait upon one and
not the other of those distinguished gentlemen 7
Wd guess that Mr. Clay was not over anxious to
••endorse" tbe Whig ticket, or (ho commissioners
Would bavo pul themselves to tho trouble of wailing
oo him*
This omission of Mr. Clay to role, together with
his refusal to acquiesce in (he nomination of General
Taylor,ha* called forth sorno severe strictures from
lbs Taylor press. Tho Now York Mirror, one of
the first papers (hat hoisted tho flag of the Genera),
•ays that his conduct In this regard will “moAe a sad
chapter in hit (AT relay's) biography."

A NEW NAME.
The “TayLor ,Rspoblioan Party”'is \ lo bo tbo

friends, from now on, henceforth, foruver-more-Mn;
the language of Sonaloi ClayloWof DelavvQredin' hia'
“eloquent Brandyiolne speech”,a? the sober editors'
of the North American are pleated to terhi it, that is!'
the name of the party, which “ ta and will remain,
and gather and grow as long os our Constitution and
country.shall endure. 11 A pretty considerable spell,
wo should take it, as brother Jonathan wbuld. say.
The Ukase has boon published by Mr. Clayton, en
dorsed by the North American, the New Orleans Bee,
tl id omne genus, and perhaps by General Taylor
himself; the baptismal rights have been duly admin*
istored, and the baptismal ypws of the faithful solemn*
ly inade at the Chinese Museum in Philadelphia, and
henceforth ail good serfs are bound to obey. The
name' and the parly are to be immortal—no more
changing of name we presume, and - their piinciples
are to bo eternal.' . ’’ ‘
I And whathas become of the glorious name of
VVAig-, and (hi over to be'{adored. Whig principle 7
-rare they too (b be , whistled down the wind and
thrown into.the "tomb of the Capuleia?” : 1
'. Our Federal opponents have a peculiar fancy for
changing their names, and in this particular, the as
suming ao many they very much lemiodthe
country of the hardened criminal who takes bis stand
in the prisoner's dock, to answer for some broach'of
the -laws of his country. If sustaining the .same'
measures makes a party the same in principle, then
we imagine (hat those who now call 'themselves
“Taylor Republicans,” could .be known by (hat of
Federalists, National Republicans, Adams men,
Whigs, and Democratic Whigs (all of which names
(hey have assumed and cast aside at pleasure,) quite
as well.
The truth is, as the measures of .the y4nfi-Dorao*
oratio parly of this country bare exposed them to (he
odium of the people, they have endeavored to hidel
their conservative, anti-popular tendencies under
some tipvv.,mantle. 7They as a party have ever op
posed the progressive movements of(lie ago, and the
natural and wholesome developemeots.of a Demo
cratic policy. They are the laggarts in a liberal
policy, to say nothing of their fierce opposition to
aomo of the most wholesome and sagacious measures
of Democratic administrations. They dislike. De
mocracy' at home, and (bey literally' hate to extend
tho “ area of freedom,** as has boon verified by their
opposition to the Louisiana and Florida purchases,
and the recent valuable acquisitions from Mexico.—
And at last the term Whig, and even Democratic
Whig has become threadbare, and they must pay
another tribute to Una Democratic principles by pre
tending to abandon tho Whig platform, and to treat
Whig principles, as they have been understood and
promulgated since 1833, by the lights ofibeir parly,
as “ obsolete ideas.” And for popular-effect they
again assume the name of Republisan t and uncon- _ ■ w

Mors News ibosi the GclU Region.— Wild as (ho
rcpoils aro from tho gold regions of California, they
loom to fall far short of tho foullty. The Washing,
ton correspondent of tho Baltimore Sun writes as
follows t
Col. Mason; of the army* commanding oUr.forces
In California, has sent an official account of the. ex.
(raordinary gold and quicksilver mines in California
to the Secretory of War. Tho previous reports
that all other kinds of business, except digging for
gold is deserted, is confirmed, and the extraordinary
price of flour, which is said Id hate risen to $5O a
barrel; maintained to the late period. Solid lumps
ofgold have been found equal to $4,000 in value, or
almost as large as those found on tho Whitehall cs*
late of Major Helss of Virginia.
. Tho mines, with tho exception of tho property
belonging to Messrs. Forbes & Sulcr, nro on tho
public lands of tho territory; and their vuldo.is esth
mated at a thousand million of dollars! From this,
of codrsci an equally enormous discount must be
made. Gold and Silver; like every other product of
the soil requires labor, and if that labor; as Is stated
in the accounts, is now remunerated at the rate of
$2O a day, the profits even of these wealthy mines
must bo limited. AloX. Vo(i Humboll Hal prated
that the poor silver mines of Saxony are more profit
tablo than (he rich silver mines of Mexico, furnish,
ing tho silver dollar 16 cents cheaper than it can be
furnished, in Mexico.
The gold region of California Is said to extend oft
both aides of the Siberra Netada, and to ombraco a
surface larger than that of the State of N. York.
If these discoveries arc really of (ho Importance
these statements lead us.to infer, they, will probably
be embodied in tho respective reports of tho Scorcta
ries of tho Army end Navy, as otherwise Congress
itself will institute tho inquiry, and demand ah ac
count of them. , *
As to tho productiveness of tho gold region, Col;
Mason gives the most ample and suprlsing assuran
ces. It is no iron dirt, no ” iron ywrfles” atoll,
that they are digging. . It is ”ffoW,yellow,glillsring*
gold.” Col. Mason confirm* his accounts by saving,
•• All this 1 state nut from hearsay, but from what 1
have myself seen.” ■ . ,
A company it said to hove been formed In Nqw
York for the purchase of San Diego, with a vlew to
build a great commercial town there. Wo shall pro.

Message will probably tell how (ho government pro
poses to dispose of the gold region. . ,

Tho deceased was engaged until a short lime before

heavily upon his family. A week before tho father's
death one of his children, a bright cyod boy of about
six years, was carried off by a contagious .disease.
Scarcely had the grave closed over his cherished
child, when tho father, broken In spirit and worh
down by incessant watchings, caught tho fatal con
tagion, and was himself prostrated. A few short
days terminated his sufferings In death, bereaved a
fond wife of her oattlily protector, and plunged In
gloom and desolation a fireside that but (wo weeks
