From Wnftliintftou. Washington, March 9.— Mr. Borie, the now Secretary of the Navy, appearod and was sworn in by Judge Cartter, of the Dis trict Supreme Court, in the President’s room. He afterwards proceeded to the Navy Department to tako charge. Governor Cox, the now yocrotary of the Interior, arrived this morning, and took rooms at the Ebbitt House. He will take the oath of office to-day, and enter upon the duties of the office immediately. There wus a great crowd at the White House this morning, and people swarmed iu the East rooms. Very few persons were admitted to see tbe President, who was busily engaged with his Secretaries in dis posing of the vast mask of correspondence and business which Ims been crowded upon him. A number of Senators and Repre sentatives calledj but went away'without obtaining interviews. There is really nothing new in the aspect of the Stewart difficulty It is thought, however, that before the close of the day tbe whole matter will be satisfactorily solved. Mr. Stewart haying sent bis propositton to transfer his business to trustees, and at the same time having tendered his resignation to the President that the latter may be ac cepted i t the former is not satisfactory. He will wait upon the President to-day before the Cabinet meets, so as to receive a final answer. There is a conflict of opinion among emi nent lawyers ns to whether the new propo sition of Stewart’s meets tbe requirements of the law and removes his disabilltv. Such men as Attorney-General Evarts think it does pot, white some of the ablest lawyers in Congress think it dops. Tbe impression is, that while doubt exists in Qrant-a mind he will be inclined to accept Stewart’s resig nation, notwithstanding a strong desire to keep him in tho Uabinet. President Grant has prepared a message, which will be sent to the Senate immedi ately, recalling the message of lasl week, asking the suspension of the act of 1759. It is understood in this connection that the President will accept Mr. Stewart’s resigna tion, on tho ground that ho is not clear, whether the transfer to the trustees meets the case. It is not known whether he will send in another name or wait until the ar rival of Judge Hoar. Itseemsto be settled that Boutwell will be the man. A Singular Railroad Accident. Nkw York, March K. —A singular acci dent occurred on the Erie Railroad yester day afternoon by which several persons were severely injured, though none were killed. The Cincinnati Express due here at five o’clock and behind time as is usual on Monday, -was running ut a very rapid rate, when near Suffern’s a freight train loaded with railroad iron was passed, going in the opposite direction, one or two rails became displaced and entered the smoking car di agonally as the express train rushed by. The smoking car was filled with passengers and that so few were injured is remarkable. The bars tore open more than half the side of tho car, destroying all the seats on that sido. Walter Buckley, of Tremont Centre, N. Y., had his right leg broken above the an kle, and it is thought amputation will be necessary. Wm. A. Smith, of Damascus, Pa., sustained a fracture of the left hip ana other severe bodily injuries. He was taken to the Western Hotel in this city. A man unknown bad all his front teeth knocked out. Several others were injured. The greater portion by flesh wounds from splinters. The iron bars which caused the accident either broko or became loosened, ns they left the smoking car by the same aperture they made in entering, before either train stopped. From Indianapolis.

They had started home but got Into an altercation on the way whon the boy drew a revolver and shot his father in the bowels. Tho counsel of Mrs. Clem filed their ap plication yesterday for a new trial, pre senting twenty rontons therefore.

H., March 9. —Tho weather here to day is mild nnd spring-like, Tho sleighing is excellent. The Stale election opotis hero to-day quite lively and a largo vote is anticipated. A Republican viefory is expected, partly from reason of the Repub lican majorities in November, and partly in consequence of the Democrats having evinced no particular enthusiasm in the campaign. Tho McCoolo nnd Alien Prize Fight.; St. Louis, March 9,—The proposed fight botwoen McCoole and Allen nas fizzled. Allen’s backers received a telegram from Gallagher expressing an anxiety to take the job oil'Allen’s hands, whereupon McCoole expressed intense disgust for the whole crowd, and threatened to club any man and every man who broaobed thesubject again.

Fatal BnllroaU Acoldent, The increased railroad travel over the Northern Central Railroad necessitated the running of a special train yesterday morn ing, which occasioned a collision at Red Bank, six miles from Harrisburg. The colliding trains were a freight train and the second section of the Buffalo Express. Both trains were moving with considerable rapidity. The danger of collision wps not discovered (owing to the curve in the road) in time to avert the catastrophe. Every effort was made to reverse the engines, but their speed was too rapid to accomplish it. The engineers and firemen of both trains jumped off and thus escaped iDjury. Mr, Vance, of Baltimore, brakeman on the freight train, was killed. John Jones, of Cockeysvllle, Md., brakeman on the Buf falo Express, was injured in the left knee and right foot. Wm.R.Tinokhaur. brake man, had his right hand considerably bruised. Dr. J. H. Dickson, of Pittsburg, passenger, received internal injuries, which are said to be rather serious. The engines were completely wrecked. Many of the passengers on the Baltimore Express were brought back to Bridgeport, where they re mained until the afternoon train took them to Washington.

Pereas, The Grand Lodge of the United States at September Session, 1567, did for mally establish the 26th day of April as tho anniversary of the order on this continent, and did direct by law that all Grand Bodies should urge their subordinates to observe the same in some appropriate manner; and whereas, the 26th day of April, 1869, de scribes tbe cycle of fifty years since the or ganization of tho first Lodge of Odd Fellow’s at Baltimore city, by Thomas Wiidey; and whereas, by the unanimous votoof tho said Grand Lodge of the United States, at Sep tember Session, 1868, it was directed that this semi ceutenaiy anniversary should be the subject of especial celebration through out the whole jurisdiction, as an earnest of profound gratitude to Almightv God, for his manifest approval of our'combined labors in aid of humanity ; and whereas, it pre-emiueutly becomes a community of men, multiplied by thousands and tens of thousands by the lavor of God, and dwell ing in every State, District territory of me Union, in all the Provinces of tbe British Possessions, and in tbe Islands of the Ocean, banded together, irrespective ol nationality or creed, religious or political, in a common Brotherhood, to testify their sense of dependence upon and thanksgiving to that Providence, which has so signally fostered and blessed the cause which has combined their labors; Now, therefore, I, E.

N. Ellmaker and T. J. Houston, of this county, have associated themselves with a number of gentlemen, whose names we have not learned, in the purchase of a large tract of land near Greensboro, North Carolina, where they propose to remove in the Spring, to commence the manufacture of iron. The tract they have purchased contains, it is said, an almost inexhaustible quantity of the boat magnetic iron ore,from which blooms can be made that will com mand the highest price In the Baltimore and Philadelphia markets. Provisions and labor are said to Jbe very cheap; and charcoal can bo contracted for at astonish ingly low rates. The people in that section are said to bo very friendly and extremely desirous to have Northern skill and capital locate in iheir midst.” Distressing Accident.—'Tbe Waruttian states that on Saturday, the 2?th ult., a most distressing ucoident occurred in tho borough of Marietta at tbe residence of Benjamin Herr. Whilst Mrs. Herr was washing off tbe front pavement she left her little daughter, a girl of 12 or 14 years, to wash up the kitchen things. The neighbors hearing a cry of distress called to the mother, who, on turning around, saw her child flying out of the gate in a complete sheet ot fire. The mother had tho presence of mind to throw the pontents of a bucket of water over the child or she would have literally been burned up on the spot; as It is, she is in a very critical condition—in deed, pot expected to live. It appears from, /the child’s statement that she reached over tho stove—one of the lids being off—to dip out some hot water from a boiler, when her dress sleeve caught fire through the open lid, and in a moment was enveloped in flames. Dr. Trout was called in and has been very attentive to her sufferings.

Items.—From the Oxford Press wo copy tho following: Typhoid fever has been raging in tlie lower edge of Lancaster county and the upper part of Cecil county during the past few months. Several deaths have occurred n the .neighborhood of Rock Springs. "Sam Patch” writes-from Wild Cat Rock, West Nottingham township, under date of February 25, as follows: “Our Friend J H , ofLancaster coun ty, made a narrow escape on the evening of the 6th inst. He bad beeu spending the evening at a neighbor's, and, on entering the stable for his horse, he received a blow in the rear from a Mr. Long Ears, which prostrated him. A lady in the house hear ing tbe noise ran with a light to his assist ance, but before reaching him she stumbled and fell, breaking the lantern. We aro glad to learn that both parties escaped without serious injury.” PTbw Patents.—David Slaughter, of West Hempfield, has received letters patent for an Improved Cultivator, dated March 2, 1869. This Cultivator can be adjusted while in actual motion to the. width of tbe furrows apart, as also tbe central scraper, or rear winged shovel; having several novel and useful features, which combined, render this a highly desirable invention on the farm. Also. John M’Glaughlin and B. F. Dean, of Columbia, -have received letters patent of the same date, (March 2,) for a improved Railroad Switch. This consists in the use of a'single rod, withoutjoint connection, and in the man ner of confining the crank :or tumbler, so as to move the rails on the horizontal piano by an ordinary ground or vertical lever, doing away with tho bolls and screw-nuts so easily tampered with or got out of place. This Switch is truly a certain, safe and desirable improvement, and is already, as it deserves to be, in high fuvor, as it is cal culated tosuve life and properly where used Both patents obtained through tho Agency of J. Stauffer, of this city, J Treasurer Elected.—The American Mechanics BuildiDg Fund Association bavo elected John B. Livingston, Esq., Treasur er, vice Samuel Hess, removed. We have been requested to state that Mr. Hess did not have any. funds of tho Association In his possession, although he had been elected Treasurer at the first meeting. lie had neglected to huvo his bond approved, and therefore was not entitled to receive uny monies of the Association. Surveyor Appointed. — E. A. Rollins, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, boa appointed H; A. Rockafield, of this oily, in place of J, J, Brooks, to aid the Asses sor of this (the 9th) district in the survey of distilleries as required by .Section 10 of the act of July 20, 1808. Wo compliment Mr. H. on his appointment; the Depart ment could not have made a better selec tion. Took Part in the Capture.— The fol lowing persons from thie county took part in the capture of New Orleans during the late war: Henry 0. Gusley, Geo. Wash, Jack, Wm. U. Hess, Samuel Bear, James Holland and Honry E. Carson. A bill has recently passed the United States House of Representatives for the settlement of the claims of the men who took part In tho capture. March.— The origin of March is troco able to the Romans,;who regarded It as the first month of the year until the style was changed in 1752, The reason for consider ing it the commencement of the year was attributed to the fact, that in March decided symptoms of vegetable growth were visi ble. The Romans dedicated this month to Mars, and called it Martius, because of tbe great importance they attached to war. Among our Baxon forefathers it was known as Lenet-Monat, meaning length month. Allibone’s Dictionary op Authors.— Messrs. J. B. Llpplocott<fc Co., of Philadel- Sbia, are about to issue the oompletion of r. Allibone’s “Dictionary of English Lit erature, and British and American Au thors,”—the first volume of which was pub lished some years since by Mr. -G. W Childs. Persons desiring Vole. 11. and III" uniform with the original edition of Vol. I * to complete their sets, are invited to send their names to the publishers. Public Hall.— We learn from the Cecil Democrat that Mr, Jeremiah Brown of Fulton twp., this county, is erecting at the Rising Sun, Cecil oounty, Md„ a large Fublio Hall, in size 114 by 78 feet and five stories high. The building will be used for stores, as well as public hall purposes. An Interesting Work.—"We were re centJy shown by a gentleman in this city a book entitled “Robert Pulton,” nhist&rlcal norel, written by John Carsten Hancb Dr Pb., Professor or Pathetics at the Univer sity of Copenhagen* Denmark, and which is translated into English* from the Dan ish, by Prof. Pani C. Binding. The book is a medium sized volume 0f450 pages, and is published by MacDonald <fe York. We had not time to read the work carefully enough to express an opinion re apeciingjiis merits as aliteraryproduction, bnt those portions of it which arrested our attention in the cursory view we obtained of its pages are well written,land evince much ability on the part of theanthor, Mr. Hauch, and great talent and- industry on the part of the translator, Prof. Slnding.— We cannot refrain from dosing our notice of the book by the publication of the nov elist’s description of Lancaster, which is found in the first chapter of the volume, and which describes the appearance of this place in August, 1776. “ The road leading from the city (Lancas ter) down to the Couestoga creek is only half a mile, on both sides lined with hills, which were partly covered with wood, part ly changed into arable land thickly planted with Indian corn, amongst which some withered trunks could here and there be seen. Ia some places the huts of a few colo nists were visible, generally poorly built and in size veiy Inferior to the lofty barns lowering around them. The rooms of most or these dwellings were covered with square 8 801116 the oldest even with bark ; others, however, had a better appearance being built of bricks and surrounded with acacia, apple, and peach trees. At the banks o the creek were fertile hills with trees and tillable land, behind which, far otr, some ■ mountains could be seen entirely covered with a forest. , Hardly twenty-five years had then elaps ed, since the very first houses iu the City of Lancaster were built, the construction of which cleaVly evinced that their architects did not possess much more mechanical skill than the new comers to the American for ests generally show iu erecting their plain dwellings. Most of the new bouses, how ever, were like the colonist dwellings in the surrounding country, built of boards and bricks, and in front of them were trees. The streets were broad and straight, but not yet paved, and the population which in these regions, increases much moro rapidly than Europe, amounted already, at that tfthe (1776) to more than two thousaud.” The above is probably a fair description of the appearance of Lancaster ninety-three years ago, for within that time wonderful changes have occurred and, when we con sider that Mr. Rauch is a foreign author who was probably never in the United States, it indicates that he possesses the de scriptive power of a fertile and cultivated mind which, it is alleged, has won for him “an illustrious name in moat countries of the old world, as a poet and writer.” Arrests.—Jonas Brubaker, oi Salunga this county, was arrested on Saturday by Oflicer Flory for the larceny of a burning case silver watch valued at $25, the properly °f -^ IJ j u min Greybili. The watch was given to Brubaker to bring'to town for re pair, ho kept it uud pledged it to Rbouds & Co., lor $2 in inouey. Brubaker’s father appeared, redeemed the watch, nod paid the costs. The young man Brubaker is be tween 20 and 21 years of age. Jacob Young, from Liuz, was also ar rested by Officer Flory on Saturday, for malicious mischief. It appears that Young was in town on a spree and, while walking in West King street, maliciously broke the show window of Gillespie’s jewelry store. The case was settled by Young paying for the glass and costs. A dear drunk. Fire at Litiz.—One evening last week while a number of gentlemen were playing billiards at the Litiz Springs Hotel, the chandelier over one of the samo fell down spilling the coal oil over tlio tnblo, and set ting lire thereto. Homo confusion was caused bv fright from the fulling chandelier, and the flames beginning to spread, a cou liagration was only prevented by the pres ence ol mind of Cnpt. Philip Sprecher, the Clerk of the Hotel, who seized a bunch of carpet and threw it over the flames, thus smothering them. Tho believe, formerly belonged to this city and was a very aotive member of the Union Fire Com pany. The loss is about $125.00. It is said that a gentleman residing not far from the hotel, when he heard of the fire ran out into his yard and turned a turkey out of his coop, for fear the lire might extend to his domicil, burn up his gobbler and deprive him of a good dinner. The citizens of Litiz also contemplate procuring a steam fire engine for that place and forming a fire company. WILMINGTON AXD READING RAILROAD. —The Coatesville Valley Union says that “ the grading of the Reading and Wilming ton Railroad will be commenced at this place in a few days. About the first of April the Company will commence putting down the rails for at least a few miles north and south of our tow r n.” Sudden* , Death in* Marietta.—Yes terday afternoon John Auxer. Esq., for many years a Justice of the Peace in Ma rietta, fell dead at Caasel’s corner. He was standing talking about a business mutter to u friend when he suddenly fell; he was able to rise again almost immediately, but at once dropped down again dead. The deceased was a prominent and well known citizen, and his sudden death excited much feeling in the community.

This Open ing will Certainly Take Place Early this Reason. Besides a donation from the Government of 12,8J0 acres of land per mile, tho Company Is entitled to a subsidy In U. S. Bonds on Its lino as completed and accepted, at tho average rate of about $20,500 per mile, according to the dlD cultles encountered, for whlcn the Govern ment lakes a second lien as security. Whether subsidies are given to any other companies or not, the Government will comply with all- Its contracts with the Union Pacific Railroad Company. Nearly the whole amount of bonds to which the Company will bo entitled have already been delivered, i FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS By Its charter, the Company'ls permitted to Issue Us own FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS to the sarao amount os tho Government Bonds, and no more. These Bonds are a First'Mort gage upon tho whole rood and all Its equip ments. Ho &m i 4 — m-X&m ....lhOViMiosu loi^-aurAi THEY HAVE THIRTY YEARS TO RUN, AT SIX PER CENT., and, by special contract, both PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYABLE I It GOLI> The \j. H. Supreme Court has reoontly de cided that this contract Is In all respect* valid and of legal obligation. Such securities ore generally valuable in pro portion to the length of tlmo they have to ruu, The longest six per cent, gold interest bondsof tho U. B. (tho 'M’s) will bo du6 in eight years, and they are worth 112. If they had thirty years to ran, they would stand atno: less thau 12.5. A perfectly safo First Mortgage Bond llko tho Union PaclOo should approach this rate. The demand for Kuropoan Investment Is al ready considerable, and on tho completion of the work will donbtlees carry the price to n largo premium. SECURITY OF THE BONDS. It needs no argument to show that a First Mortgugo of s26,rxiO per mllo upon what for a loug time mast be the ionJy railroad connect ing the Atlantic and Paclflo Stales Is PER FECTLY SECURE. Tho ontlro amoaut of tho mortgage will be about S3O,OOO,UQU, and the In terest $1,300,000 per annum In gold. The pres ent curroncy cost of this Interest Is less than 82,500,‘XU per annum,‘.while tho gross earnings for tho year 1803, FROM WAY BUSINESS only,, on AN AVERAGE OF LESBTHAN 700 MILES OF ROAD IN OPERATION, WERE MORF.

It Is estimated that Ibis business must rnako the earnings oi the road from FIFTEEN TO TWENTY MILLIONS A YEAR.
