(Jun strictures on. journalistic ribaldry and "A Polluted Press" having had de sired effect of making the Examiner cfc Herald a little more .respectable, we are willing to give it credit this week for one of the most important suggestions that has been madean the- county for many years. We refer to a suggestion that a conven tion be called to give expression to the sentiments of the citizens of Lancaster county upon the subject of a protective tariff.. Such a convention is needed, not because the expression of the people is supposed. to be doubtful, but because we believe, and so does every thinking voter, that the Express in advocating free trade no longer represents the great Republican party of Lancaster county. The fact that the only daily in the county is devoted to the interests of free trade is accepted by strangers as a sign that protection has no ally here. Let the people have an ex preSsion of their sentiments upon this important aubject - TILE Examiner & Herald foolishly in sinuates that Major Rehanhl was paid to. defeat the proposed Metropolitan Police Bill, and because the Sunday Times of Philadelphia assertsthafthirty thousand dollars were used 'to_ kill it, therefore each of the eleven republicans who voted withtlie - democrats for its defeat received ,the eleventh part, or $2,727, The editor of the Examiner must not judge others by himself. It does a - man no harm to have insinuations of that kind thrown. out so carelessly but the evil often reverts upon the head of the' calumniator. - Major ReincelPs record is too good-to be affect ed by such insinuations. A NEW JERSEY cultivator, who has a large number of acres planted to straw berries, raspberries and blackberries, in- Jorms,us,that the former promises to 13e very,firic and. - very abundant this season. This will be good news for everybody,,.for with abundance comes cheapness. There is little doubt that if the strawberry sea son were at hand, and the supply large enough to furnish those Who too rarely enjoy this luxury, the scarlet fever would find them a more formidable competitor than it does-the most eminent physician's skill. "GRANT's Insult to Hancock" is the title of labored articles in: democratic pa pers all over the 'country, just because Grant'declines to give the braggart Han cock the command he asks for. Hancock was s good soldier, but a bad man—mor ally .and politically."' The democracy in tend to resent this insult to Hancock by making him govenior of Pennsylvania. This would certainly be an -affliction for the State. "Blasphemy" would -then sit enthroned, and delegated with ghbernato rial powers. As soon as we have, completed one course of lectures on journalistic courtesy, and morality, and the Exaininer shows signi of true repentance, we will be under the necessity of reprimanding such pro fane and blasphemous papers, which, under the guise of a family journal teach children to swear. The children and young men of this Borough need no such example and, we are surprised that christ ian families will admit such blasphe mous journals to the family circle. TRERE is some excitement in military circles. General Ilancoek desired to suc ceed Thomas- in command of the Pacific department, and asked Sherman for it as a right. Sherman consulted Grant, who refused the - request on the ground that his official relations Withilancock excused him from considering the latter's wishes. Hancock is 'the swearing general - of the army, and no doubt improved the oppor tunity. • " - Irr anotherplic - Afixe speak of ..tbe Feni an Scare., 7.%T0w however the "warring-of the_ green" has become a stern reality, anti thousands of Fenians were said on Tuesday, to be moving on the Canadian bordei.

This gives them forty-seven more working days, and you may now look out for business. The House began work in earnest on Monday last, and have kept well to it during the week. On Mon day the tariff bill was lmocked in the head for this season, to the great delight of at least two-thirds of the members. On the same day Horace Greely's scheme for Gen eral Amnesty to Rebels, was sent to Com mittee to slumber out the remainder of the session.

I have been to some pains to gather the sentiments of the people from the whole State, and it seems to me the choice will be made from the northern tier of counties—the "black dis trict,” as it is called. No Governor has been taken from the northern part of the ;State within the memory of man.' David Wilton was once nominated, but it, wag at atirrie;when there was no hope of success. OW,.when the Republicans are sure of electing their candidate, the North de mands that her claims shall be recognized; and es she contributes more largely to the success of the Republican ticket than any other part, and gives a majority that can be counted on every time, it is not impro bable that she will succeed. She . will at all events make a good fight for it As to the candidates, several are named, but the strength seems to be centering on;William 'll:Armstrong, the present Congressman from the Williamsport district. Ile has taken a prominent position among the. strong men in Congress, and has :or years stood as a prominent lawyer in all the State Courts, and served several terms in the State Legislature with great credit. He has all ,the elements of a. popular Governor, wealth, social position, a power ful mind, large experience, agreeable man ner and moral firmness and habits beyond suspicion.. He is one of the most accoM „plished,, gentlemen in Congress and is -known to be one of the raostintimate . „. the government officials— Eidwi.n>.'M.Pher=. son, ex-Congressman and present Clerk of,: the House, is also spoken of prominently,' but his location is against him. It is the general belief that a civilian will be cho sen, on the ground that the military anent should be satisfied with the;two terms of General Geary. The friends of Colonel Forne3i are very aggressive in his interest, and say he de serves to be rewarded for his long services. He is known to be conciliating all the Pennsylvania politicians, and it is also known that the Governship is now his highest asperation. The Democrats talk less of thecampaign than the Republicans. They are always satisfied to wait until they can see clearly the turn of events. Congressman Halde man, of the York District, is alluded to as a possible candidate, on several ac counts—first, that he has large :wealth and a willingness to expend it for the party's success; second, that the alliance with the Cameron family will be of, service to hini in neutralizing Canneron'sTarty feal ty. Other reasons, such as fine mind, lib eral attainments, au attractive form, and agr4eable manners, are mentioned. by his frieds. But it is too early tq attempt to guess the result. 4. N. M. The Bottom of the Sea—Thrilling Adventure of a Diver Who Visited the'. Oneida. On the 24th day of Februniir;the "bor rowed" steamer Aroostook, `with Charles and J. S. Lougee, practical Tana experi enced divers from San Franciiico, went to where the Oneida lies in 133 feet of water. After the usual tpreparatimik, had been concluded, and by soundingsiit had been ascertained that the deck of; the Oneida was 103 feet beneath the sufface of the bay; after every caution had been given to eightstrong sailors to keep the air-pump constant in motion and alb:iv:l - hot an in stant of time of stoppage to occur; as thereby depended the-life of the bold di ver; after Charley Lougee had been helm eted,and shutarr air, except that sup ply - through th slender bilk of coiled' rubber; With-alsfe-line around his body' and leaden clogs to his feet, with "Good bye " and •` God bless you." frorn all aboard, he was dropped over the side, and slowly disappeared , • in thetblue waves while a nervous tremor shot ' , through our frame as we realized the fearful risk un dertaken by that man who' , Was seeking .for truth in over one hundred feet of water. Away at the leeward, borne by the tide and wind, came floating bubbles to the surface—life signals from below. The men at the pump - were laboring manfully, but becoming fatigued, attempted to 'change for fresh hands and there was a stop. " Great God! you willlnurder my brother! Quick! for Heaven's sake,Quick." And as the men recommenced the revolu tions of the air-pump, the elder Lougee, with blanched face and trembling lip.gave the, signal on the life line belot. For an instant there came no response, and the face of that brother seemed to turn to marble; but then we saw two quick mo tions from the sub-marine station and knew it was the welcome signal- of "all right," and then Lougee turned to the men at the wheel, who came so near send ing both below and simply said, "My only brother's life depends upon „your ef forts in keeping that pump in jnotion— stop again at your peril," The calm face and"passionate eye told those men not to stop again, and with Lieut. Tanner close by, they kept at work until stopped by or ders-from Lougee. lfmntime, while we were oil the deck of that "sand-pan," counting the.tedious moments which lengthened to ball an hour, Charley Lougee was searching the Oneida at the tremendous depth mention ed. At last came the signal for "surface," and instantly the life-line was put mo tion: slowly came the coiling hemp and rubber on deck, and at last in the deep blue waters, came the diver, shrouded and Panoplied in wierd garments. As he came to the surface he reached Minister De-. long,a nword„ and a Liesuered,..h.ox;;;,then. , was:his lielinet - kroied, ,and our 7 - party cro*ded arcinrd—to. hear of the gallant ship. Among our party. were many -of the survivors of the Oneida; amongthem were William Crowninshield,Capt. Clark, Master Yates, and Dr.. James Suddard, wlm were intensely-,excited to learn the tidings. Said. the diver: "The water for - the first seventy feet was quite clear, as the sun 'gave • excellent light, and although my supply'of air was once choked f,r an instant, 1 reached the deck of the ship just astern the mizzen mast, and by the mess-room hatch; the tide was ebbing strong and I was compelled to hold to lines from the rigging to keep from being swept forward: I first examined the side of the ship; she was cut from the mizzen 'rigging (at an angle of about forty de grees) across the whole stern of the ship timbers, far - below - the water line, being' crushed and:broken, the Captain's cabin cut iu two, the wheel and stearing gear all carried away, and, in fact, the whole side and'end of the ship stoved in or cut away. The ship is heading southwest, and sits upright on the bottom, and is making:land •slowly, I laid down on , the deck and peered over the broken end into the cabin, but did. not dare trust my air line in contact with the jagged timbers. -The-guns and armament, except one, are all in_ place aft; but I did not go for ward, as I was afraid of an entanglement in the rigging." Turning to Crownin shield, he said: "Your evidence, which I read, described almost exactly the injury, except that she was cut deeper than you could have known.," Lougee expressed the belief that it will be impracticable,to raiie•the ship, but that the splendid bat tery, personal effects, &c., can be saved if tha government sees proper. A " COLORED TI AGZDIAN " IS playing in England." -Washington's First Defenders—Remarks in the House by General Cake. Mr. Cake. Mr. Speaker, nine years ago this day it became my privilege, along with some five hundred companions from the interior of Pennsylvania, to take my seat for the first time upon this floor; not, sii,lby virtue of the certificate of election of a member of Congress, but by virtue of the muster-in roll of a soldier of the Union. For me to speak of this is to approach a matter of a nature so delicate thatl would much prefer to leave it to others; but ray old companions haying demanded a recognition of the fact that they were the first to offer their services,.to march from their homes, to muster into the ser vice of the United States, and the first to arrive at "Washington when the capitol was threatened in the early days of the rebellion, I am constrained to approach the subject as a matter of duty to them. Mr. 'Wood. It was not Pennsylvania, but New York, that sent the first, soldiers here. Mr. Cake. I have no doubt the gentle man thinks he can make out his case. I am now making out mine. A brief state meat of the fact will fix the advances of these Pennsylvania soldiers upon the records as part of the history of the coun try not to be denied, and then the Military Committee of the House may determine what additional honor shall be rated this /- band of men. The services of the Pottsville National Light Infantry, McDonald, Were tendered the Secretary of War at WaAington, and the Governor of Pennsylvania at Harris burg, on the. 11th of April, .1861: They Axemaccepted by the - v-ocretary of War by telegraph on S4mtlay, April 13, and by the Governor - of the State on Monday, the 15th. They were instrnoted .to hold themselves in readiness to March. The order to move to Harrisburg reached Pottsville on the 16th, too late for the last train; but it was obeyed on the 17th ; the company, one hundred and eight strong, reaching Harrisburg that evening: The services of the Pottsville Washing ton Artillery, Captain Wren, were offered the Governor of the State on Monday, April 15, were accepted within an hour, receiving the same orders sent to the In fantry, and, one hundred and twenty-nine strongonoved to Harrisburg on the 17th. The services of the Reading Ringgold Artillery, Captain McKnight, were offer ed the Governor on Monday, 15th April, were Accepted same day, and one hundred' and three strong, moved to Harrisburg on the 16th, one day ahead of the Potts ville companies. The. services of the .LewistownLogar, Guard, Captain Selheimer, were 'offered the Governor on the 15th, accepted the same day, and eighty-five strong, moved to Harrisburg on the 16th, the first to arrive in that city. The services of the Allentown Allen Infantry, Captain Yeager, were offered the Governor of the State on the 15th of April, receiving the same orders, awd forty-five strong, joining the Pottsville companies at Reading, moved with them to Harrisburg on the 17th. This battalion was mustered into the service of the United States at Harrisburg by Captain. Simmons, of the United States Army, on the 18th of April, 1861. The Capitol of the country was believed to be in immi nent danger, and at the solicitation of the authorities here, seconded by the urgently expressed wishes of the men themselves, they were, less than half-armed and half uniformed, hurried on through Baltimore arriving in Washington on the evening of the 18t1i, and that night were quartered upon this floor. On their way from Har risburg to Baltimore they were cautioned not to attempt to pass through the latter city. Unheeding orders and menaces alike they kept on their way, and un daunted by the assaults of the rebel mob of Baltimore, which took every form ex cept that of a resort to firearms, they pushed on and marched where their pres ence was so sadly but unmistakably need ed. The rebel element of Maryland believed that they were marching to prison for it was well known that Washington City was at that 'time full of traitors ready to revolt. There can be no doubt that more obstruction would have been thrown in the way of their advance through Baltimore had it been believed that the secessionists were strong enough in the Capitol to seize the Government, and crush any number of volunteers that might respond from the North. It is es treated that over two thousand armed banditti left this city for the South, be tween the 18th of April and Ist of May. At least one good company, previously employed in and about the Capitol build ing, was furnished from Capita:HlM and as they departed from day to day the countenance of the few loyal citizens of that. city brightened, and the first ragged soldiers. from Pennsylvania, garrisoning the Arsenal and Fort Woshington, were forgotten. On the morning of Sunday, April - 21st, President Lincoln came to the Capitol, and took each soldier by the hand. As he grasped mine, he said, with a bright smile upon his face, "we breathed freely for the first time in a week when your safe arrival was announced on Thursday night?" He had something kind and friendly and flattering to say to every sol dier as he passed along the line; and as that was the only sentence I ever heard him utter, and the only time I ever took hinthy the hand, I shall not easily forget it._ And now, sir, trusting that-a, suitable medal will be awarded these men, some thing .of moderate pecuniary value, the intfMkiaxalue_ of—which shall consist iu .thelatig,nition of tile fact tbatlitw'6he million patriotic soldiers who fought for their country, they were the first to hurry' forward and arrive when danger threat ened,- I ask leave to offer the following resolution for reference to the Committee on Military affairs: Resolved by the House, (the Senate con curring,) That a suitable medal be order ed for each member of the battalion first to arrive at Washington from Pennsylva nia, on the 18th of April, 1861.

On Tuesday about a quarter past four o'clock a terrible smash-up occurred on the Pennsylvania Railroad, near Leaman Place this county, between the Philadelphia Ex press, east, and an emigrant train west, resulting in the death of Thomas Swayne, brakesman, on the Philadelphia Express, and a passenger on the emigrant train, whose name we could not learn. A passen ger on the Express train informs usi that when the train was near Leaman Place and running at about 30 miles an hour, the en gineer, Mr, Mclntyre, disti . overed that a switch, not much more than a as yards ahead, was misplaced, so as to carry his train from the south to the north track, omwhich the emigrant was standing for the purpose of taking water and oiling up. The engineer at once sounded the danger signal and whistled down brakes; but seeing that a collision was inevitable, both he and the fireman jumped from the train, unit in an instant afterwards the Express went crush ing into the emigrant train, making a com plete wreck of both. As soon as the danger signal was given by the engineer, Mr. Thos. Swayne brakes man, who was at the time sitting inside the car, sprang to his post on the platform, and in a moment afterwards was caught be tween the cars, and his chest crushed. He died in a few minutes afterwards. He was a young man, but recently married, resid ing at No. 182:2 Christian street Philadelphia. Two of the passengers on the emigra..t train, who were also ou the platform, were terribly mangled, each of them having both legs broken. They were brought to this place and taken to the Hospital. One of them, Daniel McDevitt, a laborer, died at the County Hospital about noon. The other en 11. — :'•e'enutri, named James Brown '23 years old, who _has beau 15 months in this country, is still living, but it is thought will have to submit to the amputation of both legs. A number of other passengers on both trains are more or less injured, but not dangerously. The wreck beggars description. Both locomotives are a mass of ruins. The bag gage car of the Express train was smashed and thrown across the track, one end of it resting on top of the engine, while the bag gage was scattered around in all directions. Every car in both trains is more or less shattered, and several of them thrown from the track ; and when it is remembered that both trains were densely packed, it seems almost incredible that the loss of life and limb was not much greater. The physicians in the neighborhood were speedily on the ground, and rendered such assistance as was in their power. Several clergymen were on the train, and as soon as the excitement had in some measure subisded, one of them proprosed meeting of the passengers, for the render ing of thanks to God for their deliverance, when an affecting prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. McMillan. An examination of the switch showed that it had been so placed as to run the Ex press train from the south to the north track, and that the lever by which the switch is moved was not only pressed down into its place, but that the pin which se cures it was run through the staple in the usual manner. It is not yet known who thus mis-placed the switch; hot it has been suggested that it may have been'done acci dently by some one connected with the freight train that had previously gone - west of which Mr. Manahan was conductor; others suppose it have been the work of some scoundel who may have obtained one of the switch keys. The Agents of the Railroad Company would not permit passengers to telegraph an account of the accident, to their friends, and for awhile were very reticent in im parting in formation concerning the acci dent. By hull-past ten o'clock, the wreck had been so fur removed as to allow- the trains to pass, the Mail Train west arriving in Lancaster but five minutes be..ind sched ule tithe. Manahan, the conductor of freight denies having left the switch open, and it is sup posed that some one having obtained the key, committed the terrible act, by which hundreds might have been instantly killed. No punishment is too severe for either such criminal carelessness or wanton wickedness. ANOTHER.—On Tuesday evening, the 2.d. Fast Freight run into the rear of the Ist Fast Freight East, between Marietta, and Claques, destroying an emigrant ear, a couple of freight curs and badly damaging the engine. A drover who was a passen ger in the emigrant car received slight in jury. - The Harrisburg Accrommodation East was delayed about three hours on ac count of the wreck. Daring Exploit. Yesterday aftern - oon while several little girls were engaged in plucking wild flowers amongst the rocks bordering on the north side. of. Mount Jefferson, one of them,' a daughter of a Mr. Daub, residing up the Lehigh, in reaching out over the edge of the bill, lust her hold on the rocks, and preeip hated down the rugged and almost perpen dicular hill-side, u distance of about thirty feet. Fortunately her dress caught in sonic bushes, which prevented her from being dashed a lifeless. shapeless mass, upon the rough rocks one hundred and eighty feet below. Our readers will remember it occurred at the piece where the solid walls of the hills rise almost perpendicular to a height of about two hundred and twet.ty five feet above the Bushkin, and is consid ered almost impassable by any but the most daring and practical climber. Here the little girl hung for some time with a horrible death awaiting her below, and the cracking and the bending 01 the brittle bushes warning her that but a few moment might separate her from her doom, while her little playmate above could only wring her hands and make her agony known by her prayers and her shrieks. But no help ing hand could reach her front the hill top —end only death waited for her at the bot tom. At last the cries of the little one reached the ears of Messrs. Otto Voight and Samuel Schurch, of Philipsburg, who were then iu . the_yarcl ti•Lresidence.ot_the for. mer, who at once rushed across the Bush kin to her relief. When they arrived at the 'foot of the hill and saw the fearful condition of the little sufferer and her frail support, Schurch at once throw off his coat, and with the daring agility displayed by his countrymen, when they scale th, cliffs of his own native Switzerland. lie at once be gan to scale the steep sides of Mount Jeffer son, and after, much labor, and many a scratch in his dangerous descent, he folded the bleeding little form in his strong arms, and held - firmly there until others came to their assistance. Persons soon came there with ropes &c., and the child was se curely fastener to a rope let down from. above and gently drawn to the top, when the rope was in turn fastened to Mr. Schurch and he aided in making his peril ous ascent to the top of the hill. The child was about eleven years of age, and sustain ed several bruises about the head. A deed se daring, so noble as that of Mr. Schurch's deserves more than a passing notice. The child's escape was a miraculous one indeed. —.Boston Press. 13Ittzza FLOWERS.—The ladies of Colum bia and vicinity are requested to furnish flowers for the occasion of the decoration ceremonies.
