Io.—While the Ad ministration and the majority . in Congress continue to make loud professions of econ omy, and resort to all sorts of dodges to humbug the country into the delusion that such is their intention, they are just as much bent upon extravagance as over, and lose no opportunity to increase the expen ditures and to augment salaries. There are a dew men, like Dawes, of Massachusetts, and Washburn, of Wisconsin, who honestly desire to step the leaks, frauds, and ras calitles that aro so notorious here; but they are balked at every step and un der every conceivable pretext. Take one illustration, which will serve to show up the general practice: Before Mr. Dawes made any public move in the reduction of the estimates, which led to the recent sharp debate in the House, he called personally upon the President and submitted the facts to his attention, and the same course was pursued toward the Secretary of the Treas ury. Gen. Grant assured him that the matter should be laid before a Cabinet meeting and the estimates cut down. The only practical notice that Mr. Dawes got on the subject afterward was a private note from the President asking that the pay of his Secretaries should be raised, and one from Mr. Boutwell to the same effect for various o!licers in his Department ! That was their notion of economy. Yesiortlay, Mr. Sumner, who costa the country millions 8r dollars annually by his foolish le,..nislation, besides being a disturber of the public peace, urged a bill in violent haste upon the Senate, creating four new offices for the State Department—all Ex aminer of Clainis at 33500, and three clerks at 51800 a year each. Not one of these officers is needed, no matter what Mr. Fish may say to the contrary. The last Congress abolished this very office of Examiner of Claims for its uselessness, which it is now sought to revive under the pretence that it is wanted. Everyboily knows that no new claims of any consequence against hireign Governments have arisen since the last Congress; and even if all was true whirl, is lamely alleged as a cover for a large ad ditional expense, we employ Ministers abroad for this sort of business, and require no such idle funettionary here. During the rebellion the Mishit)ss of the State Department was at least live or ton times as great as it now is, awl Mr. Seward conducted it with a smaller clerical force than actually exists at this time. lie re fused to ask for more assistant,. And new in the midst of pears, anti with hardly a ripple to disturb the surface of our foreign relations, Mr. Fish has the assurance to ask Congress to swell his list of unemploy ed office holders, and to burden the 'freas ury with some $lBO9O a year without a par ticle of neeessity. Anti while this was going on in the Senate lbv special legislatitlii, Hulsey, of NeW York, carried an amentiffent to the 'wild ing Appropriation bill in the House, sug - as lie said, by Mr. Fish, for other : additional clerks to make indexes, Which ,Mr. S. COX, in an effusion of gratuitous : generosity at the cost of his constituents, .supported. So that >I r. Fish was actually burning his candle at both ends, anti ; getting his official stall' inereased at the 14.11110 time in each branch of Congress tin der different pretexts. There are two Assistant Secretaries in the State Department, nettherot . chow tsts.ativ required. One is professedly ornamental, the ex-leiter writer for the 7'itae..t, Mr. Davis, and the other useful as an antedilu vian may be. 'Phis description orollice 0:14 abolished it the Navy anti War Depart - at the close of the rebellion, and there is just as touch reason why it should lie stopped for the Mutt: Department. But all these ollieials wish to magnify their int- portance, and every kite has the it:Wait:ll to have a long tail. Iloilo - , >I r. Fish says he must have mire pomp in his °filet., into, statr, and mots , tail to his kite.

DEAD OR ALIVE? A Niec of Es-v. of Rhode Is land,e G o h Dies—Eigt Days Dead alai the Dody warm. trace Foil. cheeks Flushed MO Lips Red. FiTONIN(IT,IN, Conn., Fel, I!),—For the last few' days this village, as well as the neighboring loWits of Westerly and Charles- town, in Rhode Island, have been the seem, of much excitement, caused by various rumors as to the condition of a young laity in the latter place, who, it was reported, had been in a state of trance for nearly a week. Others denied this, assorting that she was dead. 'Yesterday afternoon your corre spondent, in company with Dr. George D. Stanton, ofStenington, visited Charlestown, a small manufacturing village, and met with no dillittulty in finding a low, weather beaten house, about a mile and a half from the village, the residence of Vl rs. Josiah King, the young lady's mother, beau whom We learned the following facts : Miss Susie A. Clog, her daughter, Was about twenty-three years of age and ~f title personal appearance. About two weeks ago she was taken sick with some affection of the throat, by which she was imitined to her bed for several days, when she was suppos ed to be convalescent, and allowed one day to come down stairs. That night, however, she grew Worse, voniplaining of severe pains in her hands and Met, and continued to grow worse till the next day, when she lapsed into an unconscious state, in which she remained until her death, Friday, the 11th, at half-past seven A. M. The usual preparations for the grave were made; the body laid hi the cotlin, and on Sunday the funeral services were hem. while the friends were taking the, last look at the body, a physician present thought he ob served signs of life. The body Was relnoVed from the null 11, and, being placed in blankets, friction ;Intl artificial respiration were resorted to with out effect. The next day the galvanic bat tery was used, but was also without avail. After hearing the above particulars we were invited to view the tasty, which lay in a coffin on the table, where it has re mained since Sunday, this being the eighth day since death Was sit ',posed to have taker place. The body presented the appearance of : person in full health and sound sleep. TM face was full and round ; the checks thistle( and the lips red ; the eves unsunken, will no outward signs of death. There Was total absence of muscular rigidity, and m Wednesday, after lying six days in this condition, the body Was perceptibly wane to the touch. The physician present applied the stetheseope, but could detect no pads:l -lion of the heart, while the application of a lighted match to the skin produced no blis ter filled• with serum, is nieh is said to lie invariably the ease When tire is present. Many physicians from the surrounding country have been to witness this wonder ful phenomenon, though disagreeing in their conclusions, some believing Miss King to be in a state of trance, others thinking her dead, and attributing the preservation of the corpse to arsenic, which it is possible she had been accustomed to hike for the complexion, a habit practiced fay many young ladies. That Miss K. had this habit, however, the family deny. The father of the young lady was Josiah icing, brother of ex-Governor King, of Rhode Island, who, it may be remember ed, occupied the gubernatorial chair during' the "Dort' Warr in 1841-2. Much sympa thy is felt and expressed for the family, and souse idea of the public feeling mani fested in the case may be inferred from the fact that during the past week over 2,500 people have visited the house to see and to hear for themselves.—Boston Post. The work of building a new tow bridge over the Schuylkill, near the lower locks at Manayunk, has been commenced. The old bridge at this point was carried away by the flood last fall. IProceedluss of Congress. WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. In the U. Si Senate, Mr. Howard, from the Pacific Railroad Committee, reported a joint resolution, authorizing the Northern Pacific Railroad to issue mortgage bonds. Mr. Wilson, from the Military Committee, reported the bill to dispose of useless reser vations. Mr. Shurz, from the Retrenchment Committee, reported his Civil Service bill, introduced in December last. Mr. Stewart presented the credentials of Messrs. Far row and Whitely as Senators elect from Georgia, and moved their reference to the Judiciary Committee. After some discus sion he withdrew them temporarily, and Mr. Conkling from the Committee on Re vision of Law, reported a resolution re commending the indefinite postponement. of the resolution of the Now York Legisla ture, rescinding the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment. Without acting , upon the resolution the Senate adjourned. In the House, Mr. Bingham trom the Judiciary Committee, asked to' have the Committee discharged from consideration of the charges against Judge Busteed—the evidence not being sufficient to warrant his impeachment. Agreed to. Mr. Julian, from the Public Lands Committee, reported a bill, which was passed, extending the benefits of the Homestead laws to children of deceased soldiers. Mr. Dawes, of Mass., offered resolutions directing the Committee on Rules to inquire whether Mr. Mungen, of Ohio, does not deserve censure for a speech printed in the " Globe" of the 20th instant. The speech reflects upon Senator Sumner, and Mr. Dawes said part of it was indecent and improper. The resolution, after some discussion, was adopted. Mr. Sargent desired to offer a resolution looking to separate legislation for taxing fruit dis tillation, but Mr. McCarthy objected. The Legislative appropriations were considered. Adjourned WASHINOTON, Feb. 23. In the United States Senate, Mr. Howard, front the Committee on Territories, reported a bill providing a Territorial Government fur Alaska. On motion of Mr. Spencer, the Naval and Military Committees were directed to report on the expediency of abolishing the Naval Academy at Annapo lis and the Military A eademy at West Point, and the establishment of a system which will make a military or naval educa tion free to all who desire it at their own expense, Mr. Wilson presented the ere dentials of 11. R. Revels, Senator elect front Mississippi. After some discussion,they ' were received by the Senate, whereupon Mr. Stockton, of N. J., offered a resolution to refer them to the Judiciary Conlinittee, With illittrllethillS to enquire and report as to eitizenshiti, Ac., of the candidate. The Radicals agreed that Revels having been declared to be a citizen from Ohio could not be debarred from taking his seat On ac count of color. 'file Democrats introduced various objections. Pending the discue sion of the resolution the Senate adjourned. In the House Mr. Banks had read a nole from the Secretary of State, announcing the death at St. Petersburg of I lon. Anson Burlingame, the Chinese Ambassador.- 31 essrs. Harris, Morphis,McKee and Percy, members elect from Mississippi. were sworn in. The bill to prevent polygamy in Ptah was taken up, and opposed by 31essrs. Fitch and Saxgef it, who argued that its enforcement would lead to a bloody and expensive war. The Legislative Appro- • priation bill was considered until two o'clock, when the ease of 31r, Whittemore came up. An affidavit of Mr. Whittemore, prepared r, Butler, of Mass., was read, in which he declares that if time is given him he eau prove that he had never used the money received ley him for his own private purposes, and complains that he had no opportunity to cross-examine witnesses. When the affidavit was read, Mr. Butler spoke in fitvor of po,ltponif tg the consideration of the question. Mr. Logan said that he had asked Mr. Whitte more to cross-examine Kegler, one of the witnesses, and that Whittemore said he would have nothing to do with such a scoundrel. Ile said that while the receiv ing of money for the disposal of the ap pointment was acknowledged, it made cif difference what the member hail done with it after it was received. Ile moved the previous question, and resolutions post poning the consideration of the case and di recting the summoning of other wttnesse.s, were defeated by large majorities. The question then recur: I on tile expulsion reel uliou, when r. Whittemore appeale d to the (louse to extend till, liwu il l' actio n :moth, day.

On motion of Mr. tiaulsb ry, the President was asked for information lei to the authority by which General Ames acted as Provisional Governor or NI mr. Williams offered a resolution, which was adopted without a division, de claring that, in the opinion of the the existing volume of currency ought not to lie increased. Messrs. Fenton, of New York, :tint Patterson of New Hampshire, spoke in Ihvor of funding the dept at a lower rate of interest, and rediteing the taxation. NI r. Stockton's resolution, re ferring the credentials of Senator-elect Revels, of Mississippi, to the Judiciary Committee, wasconsitlered, pending whieh the Senate adjourned. . . Mr. Logan called for the regular order of business, which the Speaker declared to be the resolution for the expulsion of the member trout the First District of South Carolina, on which Mr. Logan was entitled to the floor for one hour. Mr. Logan said he would yield all but live minutes of his time to the gentleman from South Carolina. Ti! r. \V hittemore, therefore, rose and ill a voice free front tremor or agitation com menced to read his defense. He had not read more than two sentences till he was interrupted by the Speaker, who, rising, said the Chair is great., embarrassed by the receipt of a communication N 1 bleb the gentleman from South Carolina has this • moment sent to the desk, and conceives it to be hie (hay to Mil the attention of the liaise to it, in order that the house may take such proceedings thereon as may be proper in the circumstances.

Thy Speaker—That cannot be done. It is the duty of the Chair to lay bolero the House the c ommunication, and the Clerk will read it. " \Cnstn NicroN, D. C., Feb. 24.—1 lon. J. Speaker of the House of Repro ' sentatiVeS—Sir :—I enclose the following communication, addressed by telegram on the 28i1 instant, to the Governor of South Carolina, resigning my seat in Congress, and the telegram accepting the same. Please Inv them before the Ilouse, and notify them that I eta no longer a member of that 6odv. . • Very respectfully, tours, F. NV itirrEmout.." Then billow copies of the telegram to the iiiverniir of South Carolina, resigning his seat, and of the telegram from the Governor accepting the same, both dated February 2:4. TheSpeaker—Simultaneously with the gentleman from Sotith Carolina taking the door to speak, by his right as a member he sent to the Chair that comumnication,w Lich shim, that he is not a member of this house, and it is not in the province of the ('hair to recognize any littler than a mem ber of the House. If the judgment of the l louse be that the gentleman shall have unanimous consent to proceed, it will be for the I louse, not kir the I'h:dr, so to determine. togas said the precedent had been that where a member of the House resigns, it depends on the _House to determine whether that fail concluded the question. Mr. Eldridge made the point that a copy of the telegram from the I ;overl, of South Carolina was no evidence of the acceptance of the 11,111,n:dim]. The Speaker overruled the point or order, and decided that the resignation wasa yid nutary matter, and needed no acceptam,‘ Mr. Butler (Mass.) made the point of or that if Mr, Whittemore NV:tti not 111001 r enough to speak, he certainly was . . - nibor enough to lie expelled. The Speaker overruled the point oftt Tieing for the I louse, not for the Chair, : , termine, whether a resolution should Mr. Banks thought that the House won, led into great difficulty if it accepted th loctrine that a member could resign :eat without the consent of the I Muse. Moire was no better principle of parlia mentary law established either in England or this country, than that a member or a parliamentary body cannot resign without the consent of the House, express or im plied. The very constitution of the body requir ed that that view should be taken, and all the eases that had arisen in the 1-louse were consistent with that rule. The House would escape its present difficulty if it al lowed the gentleman front South Carolina to speak in his own behalf. He would thus assume to be a member of the House, and the House could vote as it pleased on the resolution. The Speaker remarked that the uniform practice of the House had been the reverse of the principle indicated by the gentleman from Massachusetts. The MSC of Mattison, in the Thirty-fourth Congress, was directly in point. Even in the Forty-tirst Congress already, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Minister to France had resigned their seats in the House, and the gentleman front Massachusetts himself went through the Caine process when he was eldvated to the Gubernatorial chair of Massachusetts. Mr. Banks submitted that in those ruses the consent of the House was implied, and insisted that if this House established the precedent that any member could cease to be a member without its consent, it would destroy the character of the House, and that it ought not to be permitted. Mr. Logan asked that the House should determine whether or not Mr. Whittemore was now a member. The Speaker said that, in accordance with the uniform practice of the House from the foundation of the Government, he had ceased to recognize Mr. Whittemore as a member of the House, and the way to test the sense of the House on the subject was to appeal from the decision of the Chair. Mr. Logan said he should not do so. Mr. Farnsworth said that he should do so, pro forma. Mr. Cox moved to lay the appeal on the table. Agreed to. The Speaker mentioned as an adlitional precedent, the resignation of the members from the Southern States at a time when there were the hishest reasons of state and and national importance against accepting their resignations. Mr. Dawes (Mass.) regarded this as a int of vital importance, and it seemed to ~ so dangerous a precedent to be estab lished that a member could resign whether the House willed it or not, that he desired to put his opinion on the record ageing. it. The Constitution clothed the House with power to punish a member, but if a mem ber could escape punishment by resigning, whether the House willed it or not, all power to control the House was at an end. The House could be left at any moment without a quorum, by a 'given number of ' members sending a paper of resignation to the desk. He did not understand that to be parlia mentary law. He knew that resignations had heretofore been considered effective because there had been no occasion to ques tion them. They had the implied assentor the House. Mr. Farnsworth, with the consent of Mr. Logan, moved that the resolution of ex pulsion be laid on the table. Agreed to without a division. Thereupon Mr. Logan offered the follow ing resolution : Resolved, That B. F. Whittemore, late member from the First district of South Carolina, did make appointments to the Military Academy at West Point and to the Naval Academy at Annapolis in violation of law, and that such appointments were influenced by pecuniary considerations, and that his conduct in the premises has been such as to show him unworthy of a seat in the House of Representatives, and is therefore condemned as conduct un worthy of a Representative of the people. Mr. Butler (Mass.) asked that, by unani mous consent, Mr. Whittemore be heard on the resolution. • . Mr. Morgan objected. The vote was taken on the resolution and it was adopted unanimously—yeas 185, nays none. COMMITTEE OF TTIFI WHOLE. Thus ended the proceedings in this ease, and the House then went to the more solid business of considering the legislative ap propriation bill in Committee of the Whole, Mr. Cessna in the chair, which was the signal for a general thinning out of the au dience in the galleries. The session of the committee continued until 4 n'clock,when it got through the bill, and rose, and reported it in the House. All the amendments were agreed to in bulk, except that appropriating . $91,000 for the Mint at Carson City, Nevada, and that ap propriating $14,500 1 f0r the Bureau of Edo cation, on which separate votes were asked. Without disposing of those two, the House, at 4 o'clock, adjourned. WAsIIINCroN, Feb. H. . . In the U. S. Senate, Mr. Howard, front the Committee on the Pacific Railroad, re ported a bill legalizing the arrangements of the Union and Central Pacific Railroads in regard to their junction. Mr. Wilson in trodneed a bill to punish prize fighting, the U. S. Courts to take cognizance of the offence. Mr. Howard introduced a bill to divide the State of Texas into three parts; the portion east of San An tonic and Trinity Rivers to constitute the Territory of Jeffer son, and that west of the Colorado to be the Territory of Matagorda; the central division being the State of Texas. Ile said the as sent of Texus to this partition would be re quired Lfefore her admission. The bill was referred to the Committee on Territories. The credentials of general Ames as Sena ' tor-elect froth Mississippi, were presented, and referred to the Judiciary Committee. The pending business relative to the cre dentials of Mr, Revels as a Senator from Mississippi, was then taken up. Messrs. Vickers, Casserly and Bayard spoke against the admission of Revels, Mr. Vickers saving that, in all our legislations, a clear distinction had been maintained between white citizens and the African race, slave or free ; our naturlization and militia laws applied to white citizens, and in their enactment the negro was not recognized as a citizen Jr as capable of berotuing a citizen ol• the United States. Messrs. Wilson, Sawyer, Drake, Scott, and Sumner spoke MI the Republican side; Mr. Wilson saving that the Congressional policy would stand the scrutiny or riiture generations, and that in obeying the Di vine eontmand " to break the yoke of the oppressed and to let then, go tree,•' every man who acted with the Republicans bore a ontnmissiun from the Almighty. Mr. Scott argued that the Civil Rights bill :mil the Fourteenth Amendment were not prospective in their terms, but declared all persons born in the United States to be citizens. The colored peop.e were made citizens by that declaration. Mr. Stockton closed the debate, saying that the requisite qualifications under the Constitution, was the question that had been entertained on the Demoeratic side.— The other side in refusing to refer the cre dentials of Mr. Revels, and by their eager ness to admit, showed how Much they were influenced by reason of his color. Ile re gretted that the rules prevented hint from answering as it deserved to be answered the charge that the glorious young Democra cy of the country had ever sympathised with the rebellion, The Senate then voted upon the resolu tion of Mr. Stockton to refer the credentials of Mr. Revels to the Judiciary Committee, which was not agreed to by a party vote— yeas C, nays is. Mr. Wilson moved that the oath of office be 110 W administered to 31r. Revels. Mr. Pomeroy called Pir the yeas mid !lys on the motion. Mr. Trumbull said he iltought, the oath .mould be administered as a matter of turse, and that a vote was unnecessary. Mr. Pomeroy insisted upou there being vote taken. The Vice President said the 'Sell atm from entuekv (Mr. Davis) had given notice of is intention to object at every stage of the rovectling, and a single objection to the dministration of the oath would compel a Vote. • Mr. Saulsbury announced his obiention, mid the vote was then taken, resulting in fitvor of the motion by a party , vote—yeas -IS, nays S. Mr. Fowler, in both cases, voted with the majority, while Mr. Johnston, of Virginia, frequently classed upon the Demoeratic side, was absent before taking the vote. The ('hair requested the gallnries, slit were densely crowded, to restrain from any outward manifestations upon the an nounce_ meta of the result. After the vote had been announced, Mr. Revels, accompanied by Mr. Wilson, came forward in response to a suggestion limn the Chair, and took the customary oath of Alice. lie then proceeded to a seat on the Re publican side, where a number of Senators and others tendered him their congratula- Loons. The Senate then, at 10 o'clock, adjourned till Monday. In the House bills were introduced by Mr. Starkweather, to encourage the con struction of first-class iron steamships, and provide for carrying the mails, and by Mr. Hoar, for a system of national education. Mr. Jerickes, front the Retrenchment Com mittee, reported a bill establishing a Depart ment of Justice, which was recommitted. On motion of Mr. Sargent, the Ways and Means Committee were directed to inquire into the expediency of separate legislation for taxing fruit distillations. On motion of Mr. Cessna, the Election Committee were discharged from consideration oft he charges against the loyalty of Representative Hamill, of Maryland, they not being sus- Mined. Mr. Kelley presented a petition in reference to the centennial anniversary of Independence, similar to that presented in the Senate. Mr. Butler reported a bill for the admission of Georgia, which was re cornnutted and printed, he giving notice that he would report it back on Tuesday. On motion of Mr. Shanks, of Indiana, the cadetship investigation was directed to be extended so as to include inquiry into the conduct of army and navy officers in eon nection with appointments. The Indian Appropriation bill was considered, giving rise to a discussion in regard to the Baker massacre and the policy oldie I iovernmen towards the Indians. Adjourned mai Monday \Vasil xtrros, Feb. 28. In the Senate, Resolutions of the Rhode land and Virginia Legislatures, were resented and referred. A bill was intro teed relative to the census.

The Southern railroad bill was rejected in the Senate, to-day, by a vote of 13 to =. irsuiznn:i nAnaloAii OE:FORT:I, Miss., Feb. 28.—A fearful rail road acci d ent occurred abciut .two miles south of this place yesterday afternoon. It appears that a trestle-bridge gave way and precipitated the entire train down a preci-. pies of fifty feet. The train consist.ed of an engine, tender, nne freight ear, one express, and four passenger cars. The latter con tained about one hundred passengers, seven of whom were. killed and about thirty injured in various ways. The train was just ahead of a long excur sion train, with shout one thousand passengers from the north on their way to New Orleans to attend the Mardi Gras fes tivals. Fortunately the latter stopped in time to save it from destruction. The mail train would not have gone ahead had not the excursion train been detained some twenty minutes at Humboldt. This little delay saved a regiment of lives, probably. The wounded by the accident have been brought to this city, and surgeons are ar riving from the surrounding country to at- I tend them. Our citizens will do everything in their power to make them as comfortable as possible. The names of those killed and wounded will be telegraphed this after noon. Tho engineer, fireman, and express agent were killed_ The other four killed were passengers—a lady, two gentlemen, and a lad. LATER. OXFORD, Miss., Feb. 26.—A fearful acci dent occurred about four o'clock yesterday afternoon to the regular morning train on the Mississippi Central Railroad, for New Orleans. The train leaving Humboldt be hind time, rapidly approached Buckness trestle, which is forty feet high and over a ravine. The engine passed safely, but the remainder of the train ran off the track, crushing the trestle-work and completely wrecking the baggage, mail, express and full passenger cars. The cause of the acci dent is believed to have been the condition of the trestle and timbers, which permitted a rail to slip out of place, and thus switched off the cars, a-rich crashed through the trestle-work or plunged into the ditch.— Every ear was utterly destroyed. The baggage, mail and express freight broke loose and was scattered on the sides oflthe ravine in which the wreck plunged. The first and second passenger cars were shat tered into pieces. The remaining passenger far kept the track, while its forward end rested on the wreck of the second car in the ravine, at an inclination of fifty degrees.— Two women and children, twelve white and three colored persons are known to have been killed, and it is feared some others. Among the killed were Col. Speers, a planter residing fourteen miles from Jack son, and who was returning from Chicago with thirty laborers; Mr. S. C. Morehouse, of Eekhard, Indiana; Mrs. Duncan K. Gar rett, who had just arrived from Scotland, via New York ; and .1. McDonald, super 'visor of the southern end of the road. The names or the others could not lie ascertain ed, but they are all believed to have been Won[ the West and South. Among the Injured was Mrs. Aggio Ell ott, of New York, who was fastened for an hour in the wreck by the side of five ;ten, - who were killed, but she was rescued with out apparent injury except a badly mashed hand. Cul. Samuel 'Putt, President of the road, was nearly suffocated by the pile of passengers thrown upon him in the wreck, but is now comfortable. One man had his leg badly broken, and another's knee was crushed. A special train from Louisville was only half at; hour behind-the wrecked train with a large party of Northern and Western railroad men with their ladies, and a few passengers, including John E. Russell Hall, W. Simonton, General Agent of the Associated Press, and wife, of New York,and Mr.( torren, of New Orleans. This party are all safe and assisted in res cuing the victims. The wounded were brought to Oxfonl, where the citizens prof fered every assistance possible The south- Wa rd bound passengers Will proceed to-day, oxFolut, Mist., Feb. 211.4-Later advices have been received from the scene of the terrible railroad disaster south of this place. It seems that the whole train fell through the trestle bridge, a distance of over tilt)- feet, killing instantly thirteen men and two Ladies, and horribly wounding many others. Among the killed are Mr. Adolph Snell, f Louisville ; Mrs. McConnell and son, of Men , phis ; AI r. Macdonald, the road master,. and el, yen others. Thirty-seven persons were WctUPICII ; three fatally, twenty ser iously, and thp rest slightly. The bridge was considered in good condition, having been examined only two weeks ago.

The Late Steamboat Disaster on the Further particulars of the reeont disaster to the Steamer Emma, No. 3, on the Al is sissippi, are as follows: " The Emma, a stern-wheel boat of GOO tons rapacity, James aratta, captain, New i trleans to Cincinnati, laden with groceries and pig-iron, -left Memphis at midnight, Friday last, after adding 400 bales of cotton, and having about fifty pas sengers on board, chiefly ladies. When in the chute of Island 35, about fifty miles above item phis, on Saturday, at ten o'clock A. M., she struck a snag and commenced filling with water. Every effort to back the boat off the snag to get her to shore or to stop leak was unavailing, and the officers prepared to send the ladies and passengers ashore in the yawl. At this juneture the steamer careened, upsetting her stoves and setting fire to the boat in so many places tlua it was impossible to extinguish the flames. The passengers became great ly excited, and before the yawl, containing the ladies and as many passengers as it was deemed prudent to put, in her, could be pushed beyond reach, a rush was made, and it was immediately swamped and turnevl bottom upward, drowning all the ladies inany passengers, and the clerk and pilot, Thos. Trunnell, who had been put in charge to take it ashore. The officers then attempted to launch the life-boat, but were driven away by lire, when the task was nearly accomplished; doors, planks, and bales of cotton were then procured, and all on board started for the shore except mate Caleb Maratta, pilot Attenborough, three passengers, head chambermaid and head cook, who could find nothing seeure enough to trust themselves to and huddled together on a narrow strip of forecastle in front of some casks of scrap trim which protected them from fire, and which they prevented burning by throwing water on them with their hats. Captain Maratta managed to reach the wheel, Willett fortunately was not submerged entirely when the boat sunk, and extinguished the fire. Ile Was soon afterward taken off by skiffe which arrived from the nearest houses, one and two miles distant, as quickly as the owners could bring them. Also rescued a party on the bow, which still hung on the snag. The greater portion of those who started ashore on floats suc ceeded in reaching it, but first engineer iiyonherger and a passenger named Me l"arlaud died from exhaustion and cold ffter reaching the shore. Many remained 7)11 the boat until badly burned before at tempting to go ashore. The mate, Caleb Maratta, :mil the pilot, Attenborough, remained on he forecastle, almost perishing; from the effects of the smoke and fire, until rescued. The re mainder of the crew took to the water, but only four succeeded in reaching the shore. it. Porter, the second clerk, was the first to reach the shore, t tind the carpenter, second mate and watihman were all that reached it alive. W. M. Maratta was lost when the yawl was sunk. Thos. Funnels, the first pilot, was drowned at the same time. The second engineer was never seen after the boat took fire. The crew number ed forty-three, of whom fifteen were lust. There were forty cabin and fifty deck pas sengers, of whom sixty were saved. Not a single lady was saved. Seventy-live ill all were drowned or burned. Even: effort Va., Made to save life.

Sink int; of a Sebootier—Four Lives Lost. PROV I I , EN(' E, Feb. 20.—The schooner Benjamin Butler, Captain Fowler, front Elizabethport, N. J., for Providence, was run down and sunk off Watch Hill, at A. M., on Friday. The vessel was cut in two and went down instantly. Four men were lost—Captain Fowler, George Nor thrup, Jas. McKenzie, and the colored cook, named Amos Malbone. The mate, George Northrup, was picked up by the steamer Thetis after being in the water a half-hour. The remains of Lewis Payne, the last Lincoln assassination conspirator, at the arsenal, have been removed by the War Department and buried secretly in one of the district cemeteries. There is no head stone to mark the spot, but the number of the lot was taken, so that if at any future time any relative shall desire•their remov al to any other locality, their resting place may be accurately known. The bones were crumbling to dust, as was ascertained on opening the coffin. - Arrest of Bigamists in Reading READING, Feb. 24.—Edward and Daniel Agnew, two bigamists, were arrested here and committed to prison to answer the charge of adultery. They have wives in Philadelphia, and some two months since married two young girls named Dougherty, at Chester, to whom they represented them selves as single men. they left there stat ing that they were going to the West, but came here, and have since been boarding here and selling pictures. The charge was preferred by Anna Dougherty, mother of one of the girls, who came hither in search of her daughter. MONDAY, Feb. 28 LARAMIE CITY, March I.—Among the jorors drawn for the March term of the Al bany county, Wyoming court, were eleven ladies, some of them the wives of the most ' prominent citizens. The excitement caused by this proceeding is immense.

His disease was brain fever; induced, some supposed, by some injury inflicted by the drawing of a tooth some five years ago. His brain had been injured at that time and never fully re covered. There had been an unpleasant discharge from his nose ever since at times. Ile leaves a wife and seven small children. A horse belonging to Mr. Frod'k Peck, of West Donegal township, broko his leg last week, while standing in the stable at night. Mr. Peck was compelled to kill the animal, as there was no hope of his re covery. He had recently purchased the animal for $175. The new Methodist Church at Waste- I-nd was not dedicated on Saturday and Sunday last, on account of the storm. The dedication was-postponed until May next. About $3BO were raised, leaving but a trifle to clear the church of debt. On the 10th inst., while three young men, named Liudemuth, Bossier and Brubaker, were at a sale in Dauphin county, near the Lancaster county line; on their way home their horse became unmanageable and ran away, throwing the whole party out in the snow. Ile ran about a mile, to Chestnut Drove, where he was stopped and takon care of by Mr. Prescott, till the party Caine up. The Daily Dispatch states that Mr. Aaron Bright left Reading recently for Virginia, where he intends settling. He took with ldin two farm wagons, two buggies, seven horses and some furniture. The Middletown Journal says: Mr. Al bright, of Shocks Station, Lancaster coun ty, visited this place on Monday last. On arriving at his home in. the afternoon, he complained to his wife of having a severe headache and feeling very cold, and in a few moments he quietly expired. He was an exemplary member of Triune Lodge I. O. or O. F., and Patriarchal Encampment of this place. The last rail of the Pine Grove and Leb anon railroad was put down on Wednes day. The first regular train will run over the road on Monday, March 7. The Nashville Union of Dec. filth, 1869, states that John E. Sands, formerly of Ma rietta, but for a number of years a resi dent of Tennessee, died at Nashville, on the 17th of December last. Capt. Sands had resided in Nashville for twenty years, and was highly esteemed by till who knew Washington's birthday passed oil in Ma rietta without ally demonstration—stores and public places open—the Bank only— closed. A Mrs. Snyder, living at the lower end of Marietta, tread on a nail about a week or two since, and died on Sunday last, front lockjaw. ItArcisix vs. Chows.—A correspondent of the Inquirer writes to that paper that as Mr. Isaac Keller, residing near Thorn Hill, in Ephrata township, waslooking at his traps on the banks of the Cocalico creek, on the morning of the 15th inst., he espied a large flock of crows cawing and flying around a tall tree on the top of said hill. As he approached the scene, he observed a large raccoon in the act of lighting the crows. As soon a 9 the coon noticed Mr. Keller he retired to his nest in a hollow tree. In the afternoon of said day, Mr. Keller, in com pany with his son and tenant man, went to the spot with axes, felled the tree and cap tured two large raccoons. Mr. Keller has a raccoon chained, which he raptured last ACQUITTED.—Win. Courtney, aged 18 years, who NVOS charged with robbing the mail between Penningtonville and Ox ford, has had his trial in Philadelphia and has been acquitted. It will be remembered that Courtney and a man named Trapnell boarded for a time at the Tremont Hotel, /his city. The till of the hotel was robbed and the above parties were arrested for the offence; Trapnell is in our county prison awaiting his trial for larceny, and it seems that Courtney, who was taken to Philadel phia to be there tried for robbing the mail, has been found not guilty of the offence. HyortornomA.—David Harnish, resid ing near Manheim, who was badly bitten in the hand eleven days ago by a dog sup posed to be mad, has been undergoing treatment for hydrophobia at the Lancaster County hospital, the medicine used being the remedy discovered about a hundred years ago by the celebrated Rev. Dr. Wm. :Story, one of the first ministers of the Ger man Reformed Church of this city. Mr. Harnish took Story's remedy according to directions for nine days, - and for the past two days has been taking Mishler's Bitters. Although his wound is a severe one he is in good health and spirits, and shows no aversion to water, haying taken a bath this morning, which he says greatly refreshed him. There is but little doubt that the dog that bit Mr. Harnish was mad, as he had previously bitten a deg on the farm where Mr. Harnish seas at work, and afterwards bit a number of other dogs in the same neighborhood. DEATH or MISS HARRIET OLD.—This estimable lady died on Sunday afternoon in the 79th year of her age at the residence of her relative, 1. Newton Lightner, Esq. She was a niece of the late Robert Coleman, and also of James Hopkins, formerly a leading member of the Lancaster liar. Be ing left an orphan at the age of eight years, she became a member of the faintly of her uncle, Mr. Hopkins, and remained with him until the time of his death. Since then she has resided with Mr. Lightner. Miss Old was contemporary with James Buch anan, Wm. Jenkins, Judge Rogers, Judge Smith, the elder Montgomery, Jasper Slaymaker, and other notable Lancaster tans of the past generation; and may be con sidered the last link that united the bestso society of that age with our own. Besides her great personal beauty she was a woman of rare intellectual attainmentstand these com bined to make her the life and centre of the society in which she moved. From her childhood until the time of her death she was a member, in full communion, of the Protestant Episcopal Church. She will lie buried in the Lancaster Cemetery on Wed nesday afternoon, from the residence of Mr. Lightner. A Jury of Ladles 11:1 UT VILLE I-TENN.—M.OMM : An terident occurred in Bartville on the '2lst inst., a small boy, a son of Wm. A. John ston, fell front a stairway in his father's workshop and broke his arm. Dr. Geo. T. Dare was called in and set the fractured limb; the lad is doing well. The juvenilesof our village and its vicin ity have formed a debating club, which meets at Bartville every Tuesday evening. The officers of the club aro as follows: J. J. Coulter, President; 11. W. Manahan, Vice President; C. 11. Johnston, Secretary; James M. Wright, Treasurer. The ques tion discussed at the last meeting of the elul, was,, "Resolved, That foreign cm gration is injurious to American citizens. The question was argued well for new be. giuners. Tho question for discussion al the next meeting of the club is, "Resolved, That the right of suffrage should extend to woman." I may conclude by saying that the far mers in this vicinity have been taking ad vantage of this cold snap in filling the numerous ice houses. 121IIIM! LOCAL ISLATIO N.—The following legislation, with reference to Lancaster county matters, has recently been had at Harrisburg: An act authorizing the auditors of East Hemptield two., Lancaster county,. to re. audit and re-settle the bounty accounts of John S. Wissler and Levi S. Gross, super visors of said township, also an act to de clare part of Conestoga creek, in the county of Lancaster, a public highway, for the protection of fish, have passed the Senate. An act to repeal an act for the taxing of dogs in the county of Lancaster for the benefit of the Home for Friendless Chil dren of the City and County of Lancaster, approved April 17, A. D., 1869, passed the Senate, but was amended in the House by providing that the present assessment shall stand and the tax for the last year be col lected. It goes back to the Senate for con currence. The act continuing the present fees of the County Officers passed the House, but it will meet with opposition in the Senate. The following have passed both Houses: A supplement to an act to incorporate the borough of Elizabethtown, in the County of Lancaster, approved the 3d day. of March, 1847. An act requiring the Com missioners of Lancaster County, to give bond with sureties for the faithful perform ance of the duties. NEV.' PATENT.—David B. Shirk, of Bruruiersville, has just received letters pat ent for an Automatic Rake for Harvesters, dated Feb. 22, 1870. This has several novel and valuable features, being readily ad justed for standing gram, however thick or thin, or when in spots it stands thicker or thinner ; it is easily made to collect sheaves of uniform bulk throughout the-field. Its operation is calculated to give entire satis faction, and being strong and compact in structure, easily managed and not liable to get out of repair, it cannot fail to be appre ciated. Four good claims are secured. Obtained through the agency of J. Stauffer, of this city. STANYEDE op VittinANTS.—Wednesday morning under command of Captain Geo. B. Mowery and Lieutenant Jacob Rutter, twenty nine of the two hundred vagrants confined in our County Prison were put to atone-breaking in front of that institution,. and succeeded in reducing several cart loads of stone to a suitable size for macada mizing. Unfortunately_ only one of the number succeeded in deserting; but he being one of Gen.. Fisher's "ninety days" veterans, and only recrniteda few days ago, a simple calculation shows that the County is a gainer by his escape of tome =. Capt. Mowery merits the thinks' of the public and the displeasure of the keeper, for let ting him off. On Thursday, Capt. Mowery being un avoidably absent, a platoon of twelve hearty and athletic young bucks, belonging to Company "I:" were mared out of the Castle, under command of Lieut. Rutter, late of the "Army of the Cumberland." The Lieutenant, after putting them through the manual for a short time, led them up the avenue with their hammers at a "right shoulder shift," and on reaching the stone pile, yelled at the top of his voice, Com pany—HALT ! Instead of obeying the com mand every vagrant hurled his hammer into the air, and one of their number gave the command, Forward—Double-quick— MARCH I All this was the work of a sec ond, and by the time Lieut. Rutter had dodged the hammers that came rattling down about his head, he found his company deployed as skirmishers, four of them run ning into town, and the others out the pike. As the Lieutenant couldn't run both ways at once, he gave the alarm and started out the pike, but he was no match for the light-footed foes of stone break ing. The officers of the prison came quickly to his assistance with drawn revolvers, and after a long chase and threats of shooting, made out to capture four of them, named Charles Rogers, Geo. Stone, Wm. Robinson and John Riley. The re maining eight escaped, venting the most horrid imprecations on the tyrants who would compel them to work for their ra tions. Their names are James McCormick, James Sullivan, Jas. McColes, Jno. Smith, Benjamin Adams, John Clark, Edward O'Conner and Wm. Johnson. The vagrants are now all locked up as usual in cells No. 33 and No. 37—the ham mers are silent, being piled up inside the great grated gate—and the officers, most likely, aro holding a council of war to de termine what is to done. It won't do to put them to work on the street, for then they will escape, and the board bill will be lost. It won't do to keep them huddled together like vermin in 38 and 37, for then the INTELLiiiENCEn and the re Its County comm - a3ioners will make a fuss about it. Possibly the difficulty may be overcome by having the stone hauled into the prison-yard and there broken. The board-bill of the vagrants could thus be saved to the keeper, and the law re quiring them to be confined and treated like criminals, (who aro compelled to work,) could be enforced. The officers of the prison say that the re port of the Berks County (20111111itiSi011er 8 was an exaggeration of the condition of the vagrants; that not more than 60 have ever been confined at one time in each of the two outside cells, No. 33 and No. 37. These outside cells are about 36 feet long and 17 feet wide, exclusive of the inside cell, which is Bby 16 feet. It is true that the vagrants are sometimes naked, for most of them have but one suit of clothes, which they are required to wash once a week, the men going naked while their clothes are drying. We took a peep into cell 37, but soon left, the stench issuing from it being almost intolerable, though the officers say it is thoroughly scrubbed out every day. The convicts cells ire every one filled, and generally present a neat and clean appearance, particularly those that are floored with boards. Sonic of the cement floors are very much worn out, and should be replaced by wooden ones. The prisoners are generally healthy, though there is some sickness, and yester day a colored man named George Donnell, died of consumption, and another named Coleman is in a dying condition. MORE DESERTER.S.—(fu Friday about 8 o'clock, a detail of twenty vagrants were marched out of the County Prison, under command of Captain Geo. It. Mowery and Lieut. Rutter,-to re commence the stone break ingso suddenly stopped ( n Thursday. by the desertion of Company " I." But no sooner had they gained the street than ten of their number threw away their ham mers, and ran oil' at full speed down East King to Ann street, and down Ann past the Children's Home, and thence to the creek. Mowery and Rutter, being slow footed, thought it bettor to watch the ten that remained, than to go after those that they could not oveletake, so that considera ble time was lost before pursuit was made. Finally, Keeper Sensenig, tinder-keeper Smith and Watchman Ream, hitched up a team and went after the runaways, over taking them near Landis' Mill, where, after frightening them by firing several shots, eight of them were captured and taken back to jail. Ream, the watchman, afterwards secured another of them beyond Rocky Springs, so that only one of them got altogether off. On reaching the jail, the runaways were all put in one small cell, where they will be fed on bread and water until the expiration of their term of im prisonment, which is from live to twenty days. They are all lazy New York and New England Yankees, or "roughs" :3s Keeper Sensenig called them; who had left their own inhospitable clime to fatten on the generosity of the Lancaster County Dutch, little dreaming that they would be compelled to earn their bread arid water by the sweat of their brows. Keeper Sen senig, however, says he is determined to carry out the plan recommneded to him by . . e of making the raise:, work, even if he hay to put a ball and ch. to their leg,. Tits CHAIN GA NO.—On Saturday at S o'clock, a gang of twelve of the vagrants who had run away from their work on Friday and the day before, and been recap tured, were marched from the prison to the street, in couples chained together at the ankles, the chains being secured by heavy padlocks. They were at once put to break ing stone; but some of them refused to work until they became so chilled by the cold air, when they were glad to work to keep themselves front freezing. A gang of ten or a dozen others are at work without chains, and up to noon had made no at tempt to escape. They were only worked three or four hours to-day, being relieved by another squad this afternoon. It is the intention of the keeper, however, to make the chain gang work all day as a punish ment for their attempted desertion. Most of the gang are hearty looking youngsters, less than 21 years old. CONESTOGA CENTRE ITEMS.—Messrs. Ed itors :—The present "cold snap" has been the occasion for great rejoicing among the owners of Ice Houses in our village, and they have all improved it to their utmost ability. Our ice-houses are now all filled but one, which is partly, and which will, no doubt, be entirely filled before this evening. James Hildebrand and Isaac M'Laughlin, filled theirs as before stated, with snow, thoroughly saturated with wa ter. In former years, the east end of our village obtained its supply of ice from the Pequea, and the west end from the Cones toga, but this year other sources had to be discovered, or produced. Mr. Adam Max field dammed upa small run not far dis tant, in such a manner as to spread over a large surface, from which he filled Ins ice house with a splendid quality of ice, clear as erirstal, and about 3 inches in thickness. Mr. B. F. Hookey, also filled his from the same source: Mr. Henry Messner filled his ice-house with ire obtained from the ponds at Marticville, about two and a half miles distant, and Mr. John P.Good, filled Ins partly from the same source, expecting to fill it entirely to-day. Agents for tobacco speculators at Lan caster, and other places, have again been around the present week, offering in no instance more than $l2 and $3 ; but they failed, so far as we can learn, to obtain a single lot. Dr. B. S. Kendig, of this place, has bought a number of lots during the present week, at better figures than those offered by the others. The sudden decline of nearly 50 per cent. in the price, is sup ! posed to be a mere scheme of the specula , tors. They think that the holders will be I obliged to sell before the first of April, and that they can get it at their own figures. We shall see. • A revival has been in progress, during the past five weeks, at the Methodist Church in this place, and the altar has been nightly filled by seekers. A large number have professed conversion, among them many Sunday School scholars. MAD Doo.--The Manheim iS'entinel states that quite a sensation was created inlthat borough a few days ago by the appearance of a dog showing symptoms of hydropho bia. It was afterwards ascertained that the dog belonged to Mr. Badorf, near town : that the animal left his home early on that day, and in his course before entering town visited the farm of David Hershey, where he got fighting with Mr. H.'s dog, and David Harnish, of this place, while attempting to part them, was bitten on the fore-finger of his right hand. Ho procured medical as sistance, and it is hoped he is out of danger. In town a number of dogs were bitten— all of which we believe, with the mad one, have since been despatched. SERIOCg ACCIDENT.—A serious accident happened Mr. Washington Winter on Monday night, the 14th inst., near ex- Sheriff Rowe's residence, in Providence twp. He had stopped with an acquaintance on some business, and on leaving and mounting his horse the animal became un manageable, and threw him off. His one foot remained in the stirrup, the horse run ning around in a eircle,brutsing, Mr. Winter considerable, almost endangering his life. THIEVES ABOET.—Mr. David M. Bair, residing at Locust Grove Toll-gate, on the old road, two miles east of this city, had his chicken coop robbed last night of elev en fine fat hens. Mr. Bair was previously robbed this winter of 36 chickens, making his total loss 47. The smoke-house of Mr. Denlinger, who lives about four miles east of the city was robbed on Friday evening of 800 or 900 pounds of meat. CAUCI FIT BY THE Scow.—The warm weather that prevailed until recently bad the effect of bringing snakes from their winter retreats to the surface of the ground. The recent snow storm, however, caught some of them before they could secure shelter, as it seems that Mr. David Buch, of Warwick twp.., while shoveling snow out of a lane discovered a snake sticking in the snow. When found his anakeship was still alive, brit donaiderably the worse for hie cold covering. ARRANGEMENT IN Busums.,-Thin is the act of putting things in ,proper order. Arnuigement digests the matter that in dustry collects, and disposes of it in suit able form. A system of parte arranged in due order, will always facilitate work, and give an adjustment to It that nothing else This is particularly the case respecting business. When it is conducted methodi cally, time will be apportioned to duties, and an exact register will be kept of all transactions. Every man at his poet, every tool in its place, every thing in its time, every paper in its hole, and every affair managed with care and minuteness. A well arranged business will not leave work, books, accounts, and material con fused and incomplete at night, but in such a shape before retiring, that should death overtake ns before morning, everything could be perfectly understopd by others. Arrangement is an acquisition. Some manifest this habit at an earlier age than others, and apparently exercise it with less difficulty; but any one with attention may acquire it. EDEN. PARICESBURG ITEMS.—Messrs Editors The cold snap of the last week had the good effect of making ice about three inches in thickness, of which a goodly supply has been stored away, and the ice-houses are all filled with a sufficient quantity to last during the summer. The Republicans in this vicinity are already canvassing for the negro vote. The Democratic majority is generally about 50, while the negro voters are put down at 39. This will not give the Radicals the town. ship, and moreover as a number of the negroes ear they will vote the Democratic ticket the ; Rads are at a.great loss abOut the matter. Many negroes assert that, as the Republican party is in favor of taxing the poor man and exempting the rich bond holder, they will rote for those men who are in sympathy with the laboring classes and who are almost always found upon the Democratic ticket.
