Mr. Jruchanan :and Mr. Woodward.
Contrary to our intention, we omitted to notice an or.
tide which appeared in our last number, taken from the
Pennsylvania Reporter. The article alluded to was writ
ten to repel any intimation that Mr. Buchanan was in
the least responsible fur the rejection of Mr. Woodward.
We cheerfully complied with the request to publish the
article. We think we know who is the author of it.—
A gentleman of great integrity of character, a warm, de.
voted and real friend so Mr. Buchanan; of whom he
has great reason to he proud. We say real friend, be•
cause we believe Mr. Buchanan has many pretended
friends. Politicians who hope to save themselves by
embarking on board a sound ship; reckless enough,
however, to scuttle that ship, and sink it, the moment
they can get aboard of another under more sail. These
Men by their pretensions and profestiona of attachment
for Mr. Buchanan, have been the chief cause of placing
hina,.ou many occasions, in a false position. They well
know that, standing alone, they have no reputation:
hence their craft, in sailing under false colours.
If in the rejection of Mr. Woodward, any imputation
rested on Mr. Buchanan, these would-be friends, these
hangces.on to place ankpower, have been all the cause
of the mischief. They were, and are deeply hostile to
Mr. Woodward, or any other honest man; to give im-
-portance to their poEition in this respect, they profane
and defame the name and character of James Buchanan.
"They steal the livery of heaven, &c."
"If we know ourselves, we are among the red friends
of Mr. Buchanan, and hope that such will save him
from'his othei friends. He is still Pennsylvania's " fa• I
smite son, " and we caution others not to be deceived by
representations, made as if by authority of Mr. Buchan.
an, when in fact some dark design is in their hearts.
Deplorable Accident at Owego:
The following latter from an obliging correspondent at
Athens, furnishes us with an authentic account of the
late accident near Owego.—We are in possession of no
additional particulars up to the time of our going to
press.
ATIIENi, MARCH t 2S, 184 G
Messes. Gooonirn :—A general gloom pervaded our
community on Thou-day evening last in consequence of
a rumour of the loss of many Eves, the destruction of
property, and the loss of the Northern Mail. Although
a rumour at the time the intelligence was received, yet
the report was fully confirmed, the neat morning, with
the exception of the loss of the Mail. Tho circumstan
ces of this painful accident, I will briefly relate.—The
Owego Stage left here before darken Wednesday with
the following pasrengers, Wm. StArtrs, Truman Rose,
Aver Conklin, a coloured man, and the driver, whose
dame was Thomas Bowen. They proceeded as far as
Pipe Creek, that evening. It being very dark and star
my,' they remained there until 3 o'clock the next mot ,
tithg—then started for Owego. About 4 o'clock thei
arrived at the Owego Creek and passed the Bridge. On
leaving the Bridge they found themselves in very deep
water, caused by the then high freshet. The horses were
soon unable to manage the Coach; and all together were
fad passing down with the current. At this critical mo.
went the driver jumped from the Coach into the water,
and all the paseengern immediately followed except Wm.
Smiles, who remained. One horse by this time was
drowned, and the other, the Coach, and drowned horse,
Boated down the stream, some fifteen rods, where the
surviving horse was able to touch bottom, and bold the
Curl. Sturges made his way to the top of the Coach,
and called for help. In about half an hour he was rescu.
ed by persons coming 'ti his Assistance. One of the
mail bags, baggage of - thi passengers, were safely secur
ed, and the surviving liorse, nearly exhausted; loosened
from the coach ataillet whore. • When the horse was
loosens!, the coaCludencdown the stream some distance
and lodged =cult 'lune buttonwood trees; where the
other Mail bag anitilifislth were -ewe& But, painful to
relate, Conklin, lqiie; biwen,(the driver), and the co
loured man, (name it'd krowti), were no more. They
were all consigned to a-watery grave—none of the num
ber were heard or seen after leaving the coach. Conklin
was a respectable young mechanic, who had resided in
thin village for sours time past, and about 21 years of
age.. Rose who die the win of one of our citiiens, and
bas been here minfiht . libieivithin the .list year, was it
respectable yonngodins2l ei 22 years of lige. Bowen,
the driver, has birenlitiraged in driving a stage between
this place and Oikikille past . winter; was 24'or 25
years of age. Theecaleired ldands said to live been
barber under E. JtirlEillotel in Elmira, hand end age
not known. The body of the coloured man was found
the next morning. Great, exertions are being made to
find the bodies of the ahem. The father of Rose and
friends of the young men mho went to Owego on Friday
darning, have just-rein:2ol and already &pair finding
their bodies. The probability is they will not be found
until the trump shall sound for the otters to give up
their dead. Youis",4/k.^ . • '

Proceedings of the Peun'a. Legislature
[Cornespoodenee of the Bradford Reporter.]
Ilsantsznoto, March 27, 1846.
GENTLEXES:AII the session dratvs to a
close the members are active in their efforts to
eireei the passage of local bills 'which they
..have, a large number of which are daily pass
"ell 'but. whiCh possess no interest except to
those immediately concerned. The house has
passed a resolution to adjourn on the 9th of
April, and the Senate committee has reported
in favor of the 15th of the same month.—
Whether an adjournment can take place even
on the last mentioned is a matter of great doubt.
Nearly all the important bills of the session
have yet to receive the final action of the Leg
islature. The revenue, appropriation, and the
Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road bills alone will
occupy considerable time in discussion. With
a view- to economy of time, the Senate adopt
ed a resolution prohibiting Senators from speak
ing more than twice, or for a longer time than
ten minutes on - any question except the Appro
priation and Revenue bills.
The bill incorporating the managers of the
Canestoga Steam Mills of Lancaster which
was vetoed several days ago by the Executive
was taken Op in the Senate, re-considered, and
passed by a constitutional majority, 20 voting
in its favor and 7 against it.
The nomination of Zelman Merrill, to be so
Associate Judge of IValyeti county, and of
John Stewart, to be an Associate Judge for
Huntingdon county, were unanimously con
firmed.
The Governor has nominated to the Senate
Thomas Hastings to be an Associate Judge
for Jefferson county ; and George Hammond
to be an Associate Judge for York county.
The bill to incorporate a company to con
struct a rail road from Harrisburg to Pittsburg
has finally passed both Houses, and is now be
fore the Governor for his approval.
The bill granting the right of way through
Pike county to the New York and Erie Rail
Road Company, has been signed by the Gov.
ernor, and is consequently a law.
A report has been made by the Canal Com
missioners detailing the extent of the damage
to the public works by the late flood. They
estimate the cost of repairing the injury' sus
tained at 9112,000, of which only 932, will
be required for the main line. If the present
rise to the river does not retard the operations
of the work-men. the line from this place to
Pittsburg will be in manageable order in a day
or two. The river has again risen thirteen or
fourteen feet above low water mark.
IN THE SENATE—The Committee on Fi
nance reported the General Ap r propriation bill.
in which $114,000 are appropriated to repair
ing the injury to the Canals. The majority
of the Committee reduced the Appropriations
to Common Schools from 8200.000 to $150,-
000. There is much doubt whether this re
duction will be agreed to by either House.
The following among other bills have been
passed by the Senate, viz :
A bill to annul the marriage contract of A.
Close and wife of Bradford county.
A bill.tu incorporate the Susquehanna (W eat
Brandh) Boone Company.
A bill to prevent the destruction of fish in
the river Dc berry in the county of Wayne.
The resolution requesting our Senators and
itepresentives in Congress to use their exer
tions to procure the establishment of a naval
depot Eit Erie, Pennsylvania.
The bill to change the venue of certain
suits in Lycoming county.
The bill to incorporate the Shamokin Steam
Ferry and row boat dompany.
The bill concerning the sentences of convicts
and indictments for the crime of rape. 'This
bill prohibits any sentence to the Penitentiary
from expiring in the months of December.
January, and February—any that where the
evidence may not be sufficient to convict for a
rape, the indictment may contain a count for
felony.
A bill to incorporate the Llizerne and
Schuylkill Rail Road company.
The following resolution was adopted:—
Resolved, That the State Treasurer be re.
quested to report to the Senate the actual
amount of money. in the Treasury—how much
if any. has become so defaced as to render it
untit for further circulation—whether env sum
has been borrowed from any bank orbankson
the faith of the hypothecation of said defaced
notes: and further, how much, if any, of the
sum of 850.000 appropriated to the eastern
and western resevoirs.
be THE House—The bill granting the right
of way to the Baltimore
. p.pd Ohio Rail Road
Company is still under consideration.
Among the large number of bills passed were
the following:
The bil to incorporate the-Delaware, Lehigh,
Schuylkill and Susquehanna Rail Road Com

A further supplement to the act incorporat.

A bill requiring the supervisors of roads in

Netiost . G. Awn HIRAM HARDING,• whose
recent melancholy demise has carried so much
grief and dismay to a very large circle of rela
tives and friends. were born in• Exeter, M
amie Co„.and were the only sons by his first
wife of Mi. George Harding, now of Brook
lyn, Swig. Co. They acquired the trade of
carpenters with Mr. Archibald Baunatype. of
Washington, Wyo. Co. working principally
in Tunkliannock, and are represented to us as
adepts in their business; of a bold and ardent
temperament, and also possessed of that
warmth of personal friendship and ardor of fa
mily affection which distinguishes the name.
Their cruel fate has brought the keenest an
guish into many fond hearts, and al host of
companions deeply sympathize in their be
reavement. A narrative of the tragic events
which brought these men to their end at the
early age of 25 and 23, is derired by many
and will we doubt not be acceptable to all our
readers.
Hiram Harding left Tunkhannock, 20th
March, 1844, and sailed u a ship carpenter to
France, and also to New. Orleans. Nelson
George Harding left to obtain work in the
South, July, 1844. The brothers met in N.
Orleans last Oct. and wrought some time at
their trade. Jan. 25th. Nelson' wrote to Itie
friends in this vicinity, full of hope of soon
meeting them here—and the next day the bro
thers took passage in the John Minium, for
New-York. Soon, news of the dreadful storm
of the 15th of Feb. spread over the land. A
mong those who perished on Squam beach N.
Jersey, the names of • Nelson and Henry
Harding, Pa.' were reported. The alarmed
father, and an affectionate brother-in-law, Mr.
James Bunnell, 2d of Washington, hastened
un the 2d inst. to ascertain the worst. Reach
ing N. Y. on Wednesday, they were so fortu
nate as to find Mr. Sampson King. one of the
crew who escaped. (formerly an editor.) who
accompanied them in a steamer to Ke'port,
and thence to the neighborhood of Squam in
sleighs. He gave them the following particu
lars:
Mr. King became acquainted with the Ilar
dings on their voyage—was much attached to
them—the affection manifested by the brothers
was often remarked. by the passengers. They
represented to him that they had seen much
of the world, and were returning home to set
tle down for life; that Harry had had unintsr
rupted health, but Nelson had seen some sick
ness ; that lie saw Hiram with a large sum in
gold, of which he said there were 3300, and
that Nelson said he had nearly as much. The
voyage was prosperous until the morning of
the latal storm. In the efforts to direct the
ship. and to save and to comtort the women
and children by every possible means, even to•
their own neglect, no men on board were so
active and efficient as the Hardings ; their
strength and skill were highly conspicuous.
(The account of the striking of the ship upon
the rocky beach, and of the manner and t u ne
of its destruction, agree with the details we
have already published.) The ship .struck
within 100 yards of shore, on Sunday morn
ing—just about a stone's throw—they could
it
converse from ship to shore. On board, no
great danger as at first felt. One of their
boats was lo t; the other went ashore - with
six seamen, f whom two attempted to return,
but could get no help. There was no life
boat on the beach. The people on shore
seemed to make no effort to take off those on
die ship, which it was not difficult to have
done. Articles that drifted ashore were taken
off, and as it afterwards appeared. pillaged.
Yet the cold, chilling sutlerers on - the wreck
were momentarily expecting relief. At 4 P.
M. not a soul had been lost ; there was a per
fect calm, the waves were not high, and the
water but about six feet deep—still, still, no
boat came : Night came on. the tide and wind
rose, and the danger increased—and yet there
seemed Labe no effort to save the freezing te
nants of the wreck, who saw themselves at
the mercy of the craven cowards or human
jackals on shore ! No wonder the stoutest
hearts were appalled. About Bin the evening
the ship broke up, and many were crushed by
the timbers and others swept away by the sea
which dashed over them. About 9 o'clock,
Hiram came to King weeping, saying that his
brother had been washed overboard and he
now cared but little for his own life. Nature
could no longer resist the intense cold, and the
hardiest men became stiffened anti died. At
11 o'clock King was on a piece of timber
nearing the shore. when he was taken up by
the first boat that started from shore for the
ship, and returned to its wreck. Hiram start•
ed to go with the others to shore, when he
heard a groan ; he started back and exclaimed.
, That is my brother! I cannot leave him.'
He then found Nelson, completely benumbed,
and attempted to restore animation to his blood
by slapping him, rubbing.. bringing his hands
together with his arms extended, &c. but with
no success. They told him he could not save
his brother, and should secure his own life.
His noble answer was, will not leave my
dear brother while he has a breath of life!',-
The boat then left with all the living but the
two brothers. It returned in 15 minutes—
Nelson was dead ; Iliram was brought ashore,
taken to a wrecker's house, bathed with warm
dater, laid in a bed, an attempt made to pour
liquor in his mouth, which could not be forced
open ; a man went to rubbing him, but in 15
minutes after reaching land he too was dead—
and Mr. King saw him no more.
A. B
Mr. John $. Forman, former wreck -master,
now justice of the peace. held a coroner's in
quest over ten bodies.—He found them piled
in an old boat on the sea shore—Hiram had a
shirt and drawers upon his remains. anl was
wrapped in an old quilt. Nelson was in the
same heap. with boots, shirt, pants. neckker
chief and overcoat only. No clothes or money
were returned foi. Hiram—on Nelson were
found $46 in gold, $0,75 silver. a $lO Towan
da note, a pocket knife, two keys, a wallet
with some papers, and in the overcoat a receipt
for $l2 for a watch and chain bought at New
Orleans two days before leaving.
Capt. Thompson, agent for the owners of
the ship, 'stated that all the chests and trunks
were broken open and rifled, except one—a
carpenter's chest of tools. which was frozen
tip on its passage to New York with what
other effects were saved, and which'doubtless
was the property of these young men.
Messrs. Harding and Bunnell did not at first
present themselves as friends of the deceased :
and the statements given above are such as
they rely upon, and were abundantly corrobo
aated.
Friday morning thb inst. they repaired to
the ground, near the Methodist Chapel. 3 1.2
miles from the beach, in which 20 of the
wrecked lay buried.—They .found the bodies
of thew eons and brothers, roughly buried, and
having been twlee'diii tip by the hstids of
strangers on the same mission as their own.
With all speed the bodies Were conveyed by
sleigh. rail-road car, and steamboats to New
ark. and thence to Brooklyn. - 1 a. which they
reached on Monday of last week.
• On Thursday the 12th insti.• a large con
course, of people assembled at • the Neck'
school " home id Washington township. and
thence repaired to a barn where a funeral dis
course was preached by Elder John Miller of
Abington, from Ise. 61. 3. The venerable
minister gave a graphic description of the hor
rors of the natural scenery of the death of the
young men, with a bold and eloquent denun
ciation of the atrocious and worse than pirati
cal conduct of those ' beinga io the image of
men, who by their refusal to aid, murdered
these and 37 other victims. Never have we
witnessed greater manifestations of grief by a
large audience. Before them was a broad cof
fin, in which lay side by side the inanimate
forms of two brothers, • lovely in their lives
and in death not divided'—who but a few
months -stood among their fellows like • tall
cedars of Lebanon' the joy of a father, and the
pride of lovely sisters. They had perished in
a most lamentable manner amid the rough bil
lows of the far Atlantic. but met their fate with
manly fortitude and a fraternal love surpassing
the love of life. Many weary miles had the
bereaved father journeyed to claim the remains
of his only eons, who but yesterday left him
all the strength and buoyancy of youth. and
weie 'hastening back to comfort his declining
years—they had been put in one coffin, and
now were to be buried in the neighborhood.
by the beautiful river, and among the high hills
they loved so well when living.—The coffin
was opened, and the natural appearance of the
deceased (over three weeks from burial) un
sealed
the avenues of grief afresh. The double
coffin was then closed and borne by the com
rades of the deceased to • the Neck' burying
place. where they were re-interred finally—.
• duet to dust.'

A convict named John Gibbs, whom it will
be recollected was convicted last fall of a series
of bold and daring burglaries in „this borough,
and sentenced to nine years imprisonment at
hardlabor in the County jail, was shot dead by
Mr. Watson, keeper of the prison, yesterday
morning. The facts of the case, are as fol
lows: about 6 o'clock Mr. Watson went into
the passage. as usual, to serve the prisoners
with breakfast; when he came to the cell oc
cupied by Gibbs he opened the outer door, and
the convict instantly put his arm through the
hole in the inner door, drew back the bolt, and
rushed into the passage towards Mr. Watson.
The latter drew a revolving pistol, and ordered
him to stand back, or he would shoot, and
finding him still advancing. he drew the trig
ger, but it missed fire. Gibbs then clinched
the keeper. and threw him on his bar, ibut
Mr. Watson turned himself so that he got his
feet against the prisoner's breast, by which
means he pushed hint off and again attempted
to fire, but without effect. Gibbs closed on
him a second time, and threw him, when a
deadly struggle took place—the convict using
the most desperate efforts to wrench the pis
tol front • the keeper's hand. In the course of
the struggle the convict said, " Give me the
pistol, and I will let you alone; if you don't
I will kill you—or if you make any noise I'll
kill you." An alarm, however, would have
been of little consequence, as the door leading
to the passage was locked on the inside. Wat
son knowing this, and seeing that the issue
was life or death. struggled manfully for a few
moments, when he got his arm around the coo
-1 vict, and discharged one of the loads of the
pistol in his back. Gibbs instantly relinquish
ed his hold, and both regained their feet. when
Watson fired again, and the shot took effect in
Gibbs' left side, in the region of the heart.—
He then retreated to his cell, followed by the
keeper. When he was inside he again turned
upon the keeper, who fired the third time, the
ball paising directly through his breast, when
the convict fell, and in afew moments expired.
Gibbs was a light mulatto. aged about 40
years, twelve or fifteen of which he has spent
in the Eastern Penitentiary. He WAS a most
desperate and hardened villain. and has sever
al times threatened to take the life of Mr. Wat
son. It is but a few weeks ago that he made
an ingenious but unsuccessful attempt to escape.
It is evident that his intention was to take ad
vantage of the stillness of the Sabbath morning
wrest the keys front the keeper, force him into
his cell, and thus make his escape; but for
tunately he was foiled, and Mr. Watson re
serves credit for sending to his final account
such a black hearted and blood-thirsty villain
who constantly placed the lives of all in jeop
ardy who came in contact with him.
The Coroner held an inquest, and the jury
returned a , kerdict of " justifiable homicide."
After the rendition of the verdict, the body
was suffered to lay an hour in front of the jail
—a sickening sight to gratify a morbid curios
ity—after which it was removed to the alms.
house for burial—and thus ends a career of
crime and infamy.—Harrisburg.drgtts.
