I DiStresbTng and Fatal Accident. —On Tuesday afternoon, about two o’clock, a little ' son of Professor Johnson, of Dickinson Col lege, named Charles, aged about 12 years, was instantly killed on tbo sidling road lead ing to Armstrong i&Tloffer’s coal yard, at ‘the west end of Main street, in this place.—r It appears that after the cars belonging to the above firm had boon detached from, the • locomotive, they -were being hauled to the coal yard over tho iidling, when young John son jumped onllnvrear car to ‘.‘have a ride,” -as'he said. A sliding door stood open, and •the decoased put his head out of the aperture to speak to an acquaintance. As the train passed into the coal yard a loaning post struck the sliding door, pushing it back with groat violence. Young J. still had his head out, and in an instant it was almost severed from the body. Of course death was instan taneous. Most sincerely do we ’-sympathize with the afilioted parents of-the unfortunate lad. - , Wo have maflo it a rulo’for many years to speak frequently, through those columns, $f tho risk boys run in jumping upon and hang ing about this oars. Lot this sad accident serve ns-another warning to them. .'Sad Accident AT 'Laurel Force.—ATo learn that a man named Petbe ■ Mar-ana, a workman in the Pine Grove Forgo, met with a sad and .painful accident on Monday, the 28th ult.,-and which resulted in his deat|i, — Mi’drs was employed as tender in the forge, and on tho dayi( above mentioned, he was walking across a board which was lying near the’large wheel .used tho.ham mer, when, suddenly, his foot slipped and ho was precipitated upon . the. wheel, which whirled him around several, times, breaking his neck and arm, and causing instant death. The. deceased was about 58' years of age; a sober and industrious man, and leaves a large family—who were dependent upon his labor for support—to mourn his untimely death.— We sincerely condole.with tho heart-stricken wife, who has lost a loving husband; and tho orphan children, who have been, deprived of a kind father, and hope that they may never suffer for the necessaries of life. .

Morse Thhltes—Arrests.—A few weeks ago hand-bills were received by the police •officers of this place, giving a description of certain horses that had been stolen from ’ Green township, Franklin county. Constable Martin, therefore, assisted by Ex-Sheriff M’CiRrNEr, kept a’ sharp look-out for the thieves and -stolen animals. On Thursday, last they arrested on suspicion, near Boiling Springs, a man calling himself Jacob Gar ner,' who had in his possession a horse an-, swering the desoription of one naraed'in the hand-bill. ’.Their suspiciona.proved correct.'. Garner was the identical thief,they had been in search of; and the horse was one of a lot stolon in, Franklin county. Garner- wcs brought to town and lodged in prison. . • Owing to .the evasive manner in which Garner hnswered certain questions put to Kim, the officers wore led to suspect that his. partner or acobm(dice' was secreted in the mountain, and the day following they prece ded in the -direction of Mount Holly, keeping an eyo'on .avery man and horse they met,— Finally they dame, across a nian riding a mare answering the description of ono they -were in search of. proved to bo’,ono of the stolen animals. Tho rider had bought ter of a fellow named D.oWnouEß alias, 'Snosttnß. A search waS at once made for the thief, but it proved unsuccessful at that time. He was traced, boweyer.' and on Sun day night another hunt for 'him was .made, When he was found in -a bouse in Hickory •Gap, in tho South Mountain.-' 'W'lfcn'tho offi cers approached tho house, he attempted to escape by a gable, window, but a "cocked pis tol brought him to a- realization of his posi tion, and he was secured, brought to.toWn, and placed'in prison. Ho is, it is supposed,, a deserter from the army. No doubt these two man belong to a regu lar organization of horse thieves'who are prowling about on tho ‘border of our State. The South mountain is their favorite resopt, •lifter they havo ' stolen horses. It affords them a good hiding place, and they secrete themselves in'its gorges for weeks together, and in the mean time rob farmers of eatables for man and horse. It would bo well, wo think, if tho farmers who reside in the vicin ity of Mo.unt Holly, and who have been so much annoyed by these horse, thieves, were to employ our .police officers to give the moun tain a searoh every couple weeks. Our word for it, Martin and M’OarTney are the very men who can track a horsq thief, and catch him too. They havo been very successful in ridding the country of those villains. For their own protection, then, our farmers, anij all others owning horses, should form socie ties and keep officers' in their employ for the -purpose of' detecting and arresting horse thieves.

What hope-for the country, if any,: is to bo expected from that body of men, we know not. During the whole of the last sea-; sion the controlling majority showed an otter: inability to appreciate their duties, and an ignorance of the condition and wants of the nation, which made them a target for con- 1 detonation even from many of the most rad ical papers of their own party. TlVo negro seemed all the time to bo the principal ob ject of their attention, and had thoyall boon smoked Yankees” they could 'not have been more devoted to the mtorost uf the Af rican race. Had any stranger stopped into either of the halls, and, without seeing tbo faces of tbo members, hoard tbo debates, the motions that were made, and the bills that wore disoussod from day to day and eventu ally piissod, ho would have inevitably come to’tho conolusion, that the men there assem bled wore negroes deliberating with regard to the interests and the fate of their race in this country. Some “ Copperhead” member might occasionally hare been heard inter rupting the harmonious monotony of tbo-ne gropholists, bnt these breaks in tho’gohoral thread of the discourse only occurred at com paratively. remote intervals. The radicals, both in the Senate andllouse, had things all their own way'. They did little of good, but much of evil. We fear nothing better is to bo jeipeoted from them during the present ■session. They have the destinies of the nn- don in their hands. They are overwheiming- ly in tho .majority. _ There is and can ho no check upon them. WnrniDgsfall unheeded upon their rears. Theywofueo to take coun sel. They will do its they please, and; here- tofore it has pleased them to do only evil. Upon their heads he tho rcsponsibilty, solo and entire. A day of fookonihg, will surely come, bht wo fear it may not come until too late.' It is a very sad thing t-o see. gueh a set of men intrusted with tKo’bost interests of a great nation in so momentous a crisis of its history, The "country looked anxiously forward to tho assembling of Congress. There have been rumors of pence. These have Wen eagerly listened to, Tho whole nation desires peace, tho people are praying for peace—all of them except ths war clergy", tho contractors, tho shoddyites, and tho oxtremest of the- fanat ics. There are rumors that Mr. Lincoln will suggest some plan , for peace, or make somo tangible offer to the South 'in his annual message. -Wo fear much little from that source. Ho has let one great op portunity for good after .another pass away unimproved. Wa have no -evidence to load us to believe him witer-to day Ilian bo has shown 'himself in the , past. We shall ho' most agreeably disappointed if-he'exhibits the sagacity and .statesmanship which is need ed in his position at this Into hour! After four years of buffoonery and folly, thg, nation would be justly surprised if ho should sudden ly display fitness for tho high offico’whieh he holds.’- It would be quite too great a change. Still, there have been miracles, Lot us hope, then, that tho age for them has not entirely passed away. If Mr. Lincoln 'should hap pily 'display the qualities needed, even in this late hour, no one will commend him more heartily thereof than shall-we. If Congress should comb to the conclusion that the whole interests of this’nation are-not bound up in the negro, if they shall bo inclined to legislate even a little for tho welfare of tho whole race, we shall ho«thankful even for small fa vors, and shall give them due credit. So says the Lancaster InUlligeneer. By the way, don’t they {the Democracy.) ever imagine that we are about tired whip-' ping the Democracy. They amount to so lit tle politically that it is scarcely worth while giving them much attention.

And thcj are not Democrats ei ther, bat intensely Ibyal, vigorous war pro secuting, and. radical anti-slavery Republi cans, who ha4e been making what President Lincoln classically calls “ a lug thing!’ out of stealing copper from the Philadelphia Na vy Yard. .

Ifc. is, however, an undoubted fact that soventy-fivo'fhoGdlind more votes for M'Olbl* lan, properly dietribured, would have defeat ed Lincoln: If ho is a majority President, it ia only by excluding the Southern Stateo from all participation in the election. To makoit appear that Mr. Lincoln is a majori ty President the. Abolitionists have clcnHy to recognize the Independence of the Uoutbern Staten.

FRIGHTFUL' TRAGEDY IN THE TOMBS, Two Prisoners Killed and One Wounded — The Perpetrator Suffering from Delirium TrcJnens. • [From tbo N;Y.

The pnr •flcnlarfl of the affair seem to.be ab mt as fol lows :—John Donovan, a.man about twenty ■eight years of ago. having'becn committed for infinity by Justice Dodge, was transferred from the Jefferson Market Prison to tbo Tombs. Ou Thursday’ afternoon Dr. Simmons, the Assistant Surgeon to the Oit*•' Prison,.exam ined Donovan, and found that ho was evi dently suffering lr*u;i the effects of excessive drink. Donovan, however, was very quiet, ami apnmflatly perfectly harmless, Dono van.,was then looked up in what, in the pris on, iig known as " Biiiiinur’H ITulV’ a long •room on the ground door, on Franklhvstreot. In this room, nfc the time, were about a do •sen “ ten days' " prisoners, who have been committed for intoxication. Nothing unusual occurred in thin department of the prison un til d o’clock in, the morning, at which'time the night watchman, Mr. Mark Finley, who was then in the boys* prison, fronting on Centro street, heard the cry “f .murder.. He ran around to Bummer’s Hall, and there found Donovan with a heavy iron bar, about throe feet in length, in.his hand, making an indiscriminate aasault on his «jllow-prison ers. two of whom were then lying insensible on the. floor of the prison. . ■ Mr, Finley being unable to quiet the luna tic and take the weapon from him, ran to the oiy.ih I'reelr.ct Station House and aGted Cap*' tain ..'l'urdan for assistance. ‘ Officers.

Accordingly, Officer Ornrio Avow Mr revol ver and .lived three or four phots at Donovan, but at each discharge ho managed to escape the bullet intended for him. One of the bulls; however, lodged in -tbo .right chouldor pf* George Henry Hill, another of the prisoners, wounding * him very severely. At tbit time Donovan, becoming alarmed for his orra safe ty, attempted to* ascend a flight of stairs in the east ehd of the room, whereupon tiu, oMr cpra, with drawn clubs, rushed' ••poh him, and by a few well directed blows, which took effect on Vi 3 head, disarmed and reduced him to submission. The scene which then presented itself lo the officers and those r.ronnd thorn, was tru ly awful.
