Arrest of a Kidnapper at Worcester. Worcester, Monday, Oct. 30. ( Asa O. Bu'.man, the notorious kidnapper of Thomas Sims and Anthony Bums, was discovered i " booked" at the American H<>u*e, in this city, yesterday, and immediately posted throughout the ci'y. In die evening a vigilance committee of cit izens snrroun 'ed the hotel and watched Butman'* movements, lie flourished a pisiol ai ibern and threatened to use it, whereupon a warrant was is sued, and he was immediately artested, and this forenoon brought bpfore .the Poiice Court charged with carrying concealed weapons. ' The case was postponed two weeks, and he was 1 required to give bonds for his appearance A large 1 and excited crowd gathered around the Court room and it became evident that Bntman'a life was in | danger, Mr. Geo. F. Hoar, Free-Soiler, and son of ' the venerable Samuel Hoar, who was driven out i ot South Carolina, appealed to ihe crowd to let the 1 kidnapper go i:. sateiy out of the city Tt.e crowd ; gave way, and Bu'man, occompanipd by a strong ! guard, went to the depot, followed by the popu j lace, where the colored men fell upon him, and would undoubtedly have takpn his life but (or ihe , interference of Martin Smwell, James A (lowland. | Mr. Hoar, Ilev.

M' Higginson was considerably cm by the j missies thrown at the carriage, and Butman was I pelted with rotien eggs and stones, and was kicked and beaten almost 10 death. He promised never to visit Worcester again, and probably wdl not. He is now out of harm sway. Accident on the G. IV. Canada Railroad. | Bltfai.o, October 28 —The accident reported j yesterday on the Great Western Railroad of Cana da occurred through the bursting ol the head of the cylinder, wh ch direw the 'ram on- of time After a delay of two hours the tram proceeded a' the rate of twenty miles an hour, and when near Cha tharn in a dense fog, came in collision with a grav el train. The locomotive of the express cars was overturn led, and crushed two cars (first arid second class) ! into splinters. Almost every one in the second j class car was either killed or wounded—and in all | twenty three men, eleven women and eleven chil j dren were kilied. and twenty one men and twen ty women and children injured—one half of them, il is thought, fatally. The deaths were mainly among the emigrants. The horrors of the scene were bejond description. Hamilton, C. W., October 28'h —The latest ac counts from the scene of the collision sta'e that forty-eight persons were killed ins'amly, and that two of the wounded have since died. [second despatch ] Bcffalo, October 28 —lt is impossible fo get full particulars of ihis terrible railroad catastrophe, and ihe reports are so contradictory, that it is up. j certain whether the first-class passenger escaped I utvnjnred. O.e report stved that a number the first-class passertger- were among the killed and wounded, but a despatch from Detroit, received I this evening, says thai only one or two of them were liuit, but none weie killed The second- I class car was ciushed by a heavy baggage car fall ! ing upon if which the "force of'ihe "collision had i thrown upwards. It was four hours before the ; mangled remains of the kiled ard wounded could i be extricated. Kansas.—A Correspondent of the Ledger, a gen tleman who left that city with Governor Ueeder writes from Fort Leavensworth on the 12th inst. staling that the whole party had arrived, after a very pleasant trip. Governor Reeder has made Fort Leavenworth his resting place for tiie present, and has already showed his deteiminalion to 1 cute the laws, by holding some squatters to bail i who had been fighting each other. Our rorrespon ! dent says Kansas requires an incredible amount ol labor and severe privations to make it a bright par j ticular s'ar of thei'nion. | Nicholas Bkeiian. who murdered Mr. and Mrs. ! Wyckam on Long Mand, has been convicted'of • the ofience, and sentenced to be hung on the )sth of December r ext.

The la'e elections have alarmed the Washingion L'livn. The confident and defiant tone it has been accustomed to assume, is giving way before the popular voice. It now parades the last resdrt of Slavery—ptetcndeil danger to the I'nion. It has laid down three results as likely to sever the con federacy, one ot which is, whenever an united N'crth shall refuse admission to a State because of the recognition ol Slavery in its Constitution. The National Intelligencer rebukes the treasonable cal culations of the Union in a sensible and truthful ar i tide in which OCCUIB the following paragraph : j *• The overwhelming reverses which the passage j of die Nebraska law has brought upon the Admin- j istratton party in the non-slave holding States have *et the Washington Union lo" calculating the chan ces of the continuance of the Tederal Union." This is a wretched business for any journal, but worse than all for the official journal and organ of the Government. Blighted ambition has driven many H man to treason, but we entreat our official neigh bor to leave all calculations of the value of the Un ion, and all speculations upon the nature of the events which are to destroy it, if they shall ever occur, to inveterate nuUifiers and abolitionists, who " pant for the dissolution of the Union as the hart panteth for the water brooks." We hold it little 1-ss than treason even to "imagine the death of the . Union."' - It has been uniformly the custom of the South j when their anogant pretensions have been oppos- j ed, to threaten to dissolve the Union—while their j Northern adjuncts and tools, took up the cry of j " woll," and began to calculate the danger. So often has this been done, that the North has be come accustomed to it, and has begun in turn to consider the probabilities of such an even', and which section would be the loser thereby. The inves igation has shown that the South has ail to lose, ami nothing lo gain, by a dissolution ol the Union. The value ol their peculiar property itsell, depends in a great measure, upon the security which a continuance of the Union gives. The occupation of the Union savers and of those who think to alarm-the North by pretended danger lo the Union, is gone. The patriotism of that sec lion, will abide by the Union to the last, and lo a sacred observance ol the Compromises ot the Con stitution. No recreant hand will aver bo raised lor the destruction ol either—but when our Southern brethren see fit to go out of the Union, because Slavery shall not be nationalized, they will be al lowed to depart. Such a result there is no danger lo apprehend. The South is too well aware of the advantages riiey reap from the Union—they will continue to blus'.or and threaten, but they have no erious thoughts ol separating a band uniting them to a section, which protects them in the possession of their human chatles, carries their inail*, fortifies iheir seaports, and bears the burdens of the govern mental taxation. CONVICTION or BEALE. —The trial of Bealp, of Philadelphia, for an alledged rape on Miss Mudge, terminated in ihe jury finding a verdict of guilty, and recommending him to mercy. The punish ment for the offence is confinement al hard labor, for not less than two, nor more than twelve years Divid Taul Brown,E*q., counsel for Beale, filed fifeen reasons for a new trial • amonst others, that ihe verdict was against tha law and evidence ; that the jury was prejudiced by irrelevant statements, and did not find t : ieir verdict on the evidence ad Jnced before the court; that they indulged in li quor during the trial, that some of the jury declar ed their minds were made up before heating the evidence. The argument of the counsel'will com mence on Friday next, before the Court, in banc. PROGRESS ASD PREJUDICE —Da Witt and Daven port have sent ns a new work, fresh from the pro lific pen ol Mrs. Gore, who, we are glad to say, has many reaJers among us. It may appear strange rhat we should rejoice in the success of a mere novel writer, but being compelled lo admit that the popular tas'e " ever runneth thitherward," it is merely mailer of gratutation that works sucli as every day published works Irom which the reader derives nerher advantage or profit, it merely is w;e in the press to call attention to those which are calculated to afford both. To all novel readers we would simply simply say—" If you must read novels, read good ones, and ot those who claim that distinctive title we certainly know none whose pretentions are belter founded than Mrs. Gore's, and of her works none certainly are equal to this, latest production." Sold by Dr II C. PORTER Towanda, CA frightful explosion took place at Katie's Hotel, New Voik city, on Seturday afternoon. A keg of gunpowder which had been placed near the bookkeeper's de.-k in a valise, exploded, doing great damage, but fortunately injuring no person, though many were in the immediate vicinity. An investigation was made, and it was ascertained that the explosion proceeded from an infernal ma chine enclosed in the carpet bag. VIOLATING THE XEUTRAMTY LAWS— ft is stated in the Brownsville Flag that 15 or 20 ofihe leaders of Ihe lale Mexican revolution have been arresied at Brownsville for violating our neutrality laws, by arming and equipping men on the American bank of the river. The Flag seems to be indignant that American citizens should be disturbed in their fili bustering operations. OCT The oyster panic in New York is subsiding.

ANOTHER DREADFUL CAI.AMITT —Howard Col lege, at Marion, Alabama, was destroyed by fire at midnight la'ely, and the inmates being asleep in the third and fourth stories, were frighfully burned and mangled in endeavoring to make their escape One negro serrant who rushed down the stairway through the flames was so badly burned that he has since died. The boys to the number of 23 or 23 jumped from the windows to the ground, 22 of them were dreadfully burned and mangled. One of litem subsequently JieJ, arid several others it was thought could not live. DAY OF THANK-GIVING —By some means an un autftotized statement has found its way into the papers, that the Governor had set apart Thursday, the 30 h of November, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to Almighty God, in this Common wealth. It is an error. The fourth Thursday in November, bping the 23d ol the mortih, has been the customary day of Thanksgiving in Pennsylva nia, for many years, and the usual Proclamation ol the Governor setting apart that day is now publish* ed. SECRETARY GUTHRIE is ill at Louisville.

BABST, who was tarred and fea thered at Ellsworth, Me., instead of dying, has, it is now stated, recovered from his injuries. The scoundrels who committed the outrage on him have not yet been molested by the law. The outrage is not the less severely condemned. A meeting of abolitionists was held in Boston on Tuesday evening, to welcome back Wnt. W. Brown, a fugitive slave, who has been absent five years in England, and brings with him sufficient funds to purchase bis freedom. —The San Jose (Cal.) Telegraph states that some one, with the design of destroying by fire Mr. John Conney's grain, resorted to the following scheme: the villian got a piece of shingle, six inch es long, ir> the centre of which he fastended a small upright stick, about eight inches long, and on the top of the stick a sun glass was placed. So arrang ed lie put the instrument among the dry grass and grain. Cn cutting the grain, the mowers struck the upright slick, and discovered that the shingles had ignited, and was half consumed, and that the grass for a few feel around had been burned, but had gone out. The Foreign \'ew*. Tlip news by the Pacific, which arrived at New \ ork Monday morning, is not of special interest or importance No further intelligence has been re ceived Irom the Crimea, though the London papers continue to publish details of the battle ol the Alma, mainly Irom private letters of officers and others engaged, which will be read with interest. The position of the German States continues doubt ful, and the opinion is now expressed that the final decision of Austria in the matter need not be ex pected until next Spring. Prussia is demonstrat ing more and more clearly her resolution not to join the Western Powers against Russia, and spec ulations are indulged that the Allies may be com pelled to fight her armies on the Rhine. The hope was indulged that the Pacific mi°ht possibly bring intelligence of the arrival some vessel which had picked up the missing boats ol the Arctic. No further information of the catas trophe, however had reached England than thai conveyed by the Cleopatra which arrived on the f J' ,?er P° o1 - 'fhe wreck occurred on the •.7ih of September, and the Pacific sailed on the 18th inst. Twenty one days would be a good passage for a sailing vessel from the scene of the disaster to the English coas'. NOT SAFE ON SHORE.— The merchantsof Canton in China, sen - aboard the l T S. steamer John Han-' cook, for *%fe keepmg, some million and a half of Mexican dollar?. United State* Senator. It being now ascertained that a majority of the Pennsylvania Legislature on joint ballot, will be Anti-Nebraska, the selection of a United Slates Se- j nator in place of Hon James Cooper, whose term expires on the 4th of March next, i* beginning to be discussed. Among the Whigs, Judge Conrad, of Philadelphia, Gen William Larimer, of I ma burg, Ex-Governor Johnston, and Hon ItuuJeus Stevens, are talked of. There are many reasons why in our opinion, the Free-Soil men, without distinction of party should unite on DAVID WII.MOT tor thai office, provided he will accept n No man in die Sa'e has labored mote faithfully orefficient ly lor the cause of freedom than Judge Wilmot For his straight forward course and manly adhe- j rence to principle, he has been denounced by die hireling presses ot the Administration, and threat ened with poli'ical arunhilH'ion. When it was found that he chose to follow the guidance of pi in ciple rather than the behests of pat'y, as if a' a pre concerted signal, the pack opened upon, htm, in full cry, and evinced a fixed determination to hunt him, io death. It was even said that by deserting his party, he had already sealed his own doom But in truth, instead of his having deserted his par ty, he has only maintained the principles that made him what he is, and his party—or rather 'he party leaders—have deserted him. His oourse has been approved and ralified by the people of Penn sylvania, and most emphatically by ihe people ol his own district. Pollock's majority in this Con gressional District is 4,094! oragainover Pierce's vote ot 6 550 Does thai look like Wilmoi'e being deserted by the people? He was never so popular—never so strong as now ; and fortified as he is in his own integrity and the confidence of the j people, those pisjrny toes who have attacked him with so much vehemence, cannot injure him, but j will be themselves slain by the recoil. It is not for his own sake that we advoca'e Judge ' Wilmot's election to the Senate," but because of the effect of his taking a seat there at this crisis, and of the influence he would exert in the National coun- ; cils. The struggle between Freedom and Slavery is not at an end. The Slavocrary are playing a desperate game foi supremacy, and they will fight to the last. Every avenue through which they may seek to make further encroachments, must be guard ed, and for that purpose we must have vigilant sen j tiriels on the bulwarks of freedom. We know of no man who would be more keen-eyed to perceive ve the danger or more prompt to sound the alarm, than David Wilmot. The friends of freedom throughout the North must look to i', thattheysend such men—men true and fearless in their antagon ism to slavery—and none others, to Congress. We should glory more in the election of Judge Wilmot to the Senate now, than in that of any Whig in the S ate. It would demonstrate that the maintenance of principles, arid not the resurrection of a party, is our object; and it would tend to ce ment together 'he Free-Soil men into a great and | invincible Freedom party, with the power and the ; will to place Pennsylvania in such a position that | hereafter it can never be a question with the sla j very conspirators whether they may count on our aid or our opposition. With Pollock for our Gov i ernor and Wilmot in the Senate, they would know ; where to find us ; and should another occasion ! arise like that of the passage of the Nebraska bill, j it would then be demonstrated whether or not ' Pennsv I vania's voice can be heard and her influ i ence felt as far as Washington.— Susquehanna Reg j istcr. Our !Voxt t". S. Senator. Soon after the passage of the Nebiaska bill, the Administration papers grew insolent with success, and chnckeid amazingly over the idea that, as Se nators were chosen for a term of six years, and as a largo majority of the Senate were friendly to the afoiesaij infamous bill, the chances of its repeal were " nowhere'' for the next six years. Perhaps the results of the Northern elections will convince those editors that it is not always safe to add insult to injury, especially when the people are the in jured party. The Legislature of this S ate is anti-Nebraska in both branches by a fair majority. The House stands 74 known anti-Nebraska men to 59—®ome opposed and some favorable. As an United Sena j tor is to be chospn next winter, we hope the most efficient anti Nebraska man in the State will be the unanimous choice of that body. The national Sen ate has been a refuge of the worst kind of fogyism toe* long, and it is high time that it was thoroughly renovated These are the times that try men's principles—peculiar times, and peculiar men are wanted to represent them. Pennsylvania® need to he represented by her best and bravest spirit. She needs, and must hare a man of strong points arid deep srt free-soil sympathies to represent her.— He must be candid and feailess; imbued with a deep love of Troth, Justice and humanity. He must have proved himself an ami-Nebr-isUa man from principle, and as such, his course on that question and kindred ones, must have been strait lorward in the past, under al! circumstances. He must be neither a slave to a venal ambition, nor a cringing worshipper at the shrine of public opinion. He most he a true MAN. warm with noble impulses, shaping his actions by Reason and Intuition no less than by the experience of the past Such a man would confer distinguished honor upon the judg ments of his electors, and add another name to the list of able statesmen which Pennsylvania will re member with pride and pleasure. Such a man. and soch only, ran help reform the abuses in our legislative department, and roll bark the tide ol Southern influence which threatens to wholly cor rupt the channel® of legislation. Pennsylvania has but one such spirit—active in the Present and pro vident for the Future—that man is DAVID WIL MOf —Tioga Agitator. TKF. GOVERNOH or UTAH -—The commission nn- Jer which Brigbam Young held the office of Gov ernor of Utah, expired on the 29 h ult.. and as it is allegpd that for the last two years he virtually re fused to recognize the government of the United States having InrwarJed neither copies of the terri torial laws nor the accounts of the expenditures of the public appropria'ions, it is nppiehended by some that there will be a terrible commotion in " Mormon-dom," should he not be reappointed Young, himself, in an address to the Mormons in March last, said : "We have got a territorial government, and 1 am and tcill he the governor. and no poxcer can hin der it until the Lord Almighty says. " NEED NOT BE GOVERNED ANT T.ONGER,'' and then I am willing to yield another." He goes on in the same address to deciare that neither President Pierce nor any other President could remove him, and intimates pretty strongly that Judge Lynch world be in waiting fur any one eoming there nnder pretence ol having authority to assume I fie office of Governor. This is pretty bold talk ; but Brigham Young, like many others before him, will learn, should the President nof deem it compatible with the public interest to appoint hira that the " laws must be obeyed" despite the bia~- gadocia and united opposition of a few zealots. MARTIN VAN BCREN —An Pxtract from a private letter informs us that " Mr. Van Buren is at Vevay in Switzerland, and is earnestly at woik upon his autibiography, m which he has already advanced some two or three hundred pages. He is very much interested in the work, and so will his rea ders be when it is published, which will not be until after h.s death, and that even, judging from his present appearance and condition, will be many years hence."

NEWSPAPERS. —For eighteen months past, enlstg. ing was all the rage with newspapers. Size u ihe test ol merit. But we believe without excep. lion, every publisher has burnt his fingers thereby. The New York Tribune, which was spread out ao extravagantly was the first to come down. Many papers are following its example. The Nee Yo;k Sun, we obaerve, has cutoff a column on each paga. The Indianapolis Journal has taken of! a column. The Cincinnati Dailies have increased their sub scriptions 20 per cent. The resson assigned for these changes, is the augmented prices of most items entering into the cost of newspaper holi ness. THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF THE AGE !
