Accident to Gew Cass.
WASHINGTON , Feb. Bth, P. ,Al.—Gen. Cass'
frame was much jarred by a fall on the Patent
offi c e steps this morning. severely cutting his
fae ,2r and rendering him insensible for some
time. He is now sleeping.—Thi only danger
apprehended is of inflammation coupled with
his advanced age—were he a young man the

condition more comfortable. The genera'. im

11:7The friends of Messrs. Fillmore and Law,
In New York, seem to be getting - a little exci
ted. The New York Times says the friends
of the former gentleman look upon the forth
'coming Philadelphia Know Nothing conven
tion of the 22d as a device of George Law's
supporters to force his nomination upon the
American party, and tbey are not inclined to
give it the benefit of their adhesion in advance
of its action. It then adds :
It is pretty well settled that Mr. Law will
have a majority of the delegates at Philadel
phia, and that he will be pain nomination by
that convention. If Mr. Fillmore's friends
shall not succeed in postponing action, we pre
sume they will withdraw from the convention.
At all events, they will not, urdes:s we are
misinforinedr give their support to Mr. Law
fieTs'nominated now.
RaNOUNCIINTG BLACK RaPUBLICANISM•—Mr.
Geo. A. Coffey, well known throughout the
interior of Pennsylvania as an eloquent lavi
yer, but who now resides in Philadelphia, has
coo out in a long letter renouncing Black
Republicanism, and denouncing the American
movement. He has come to the' conclusion
that every new State has a right to choose her
Own institution, whether •peculiar" or not.
Ever since the organization otthe republican

AN ADMISSION. —The , Boston Courier, a
Whig paper, in speaking of the Sub-Treasury,
which it formerly opposed, says are
of the opinion that it has been the means of
preserving the United States an average of
nearly twenty millions of hard money, which,
but for the establishment of 'this independent
treasury system at the time it was formed,

A '.l3ou.."—The Legislature of Massachu
setts last year, in their efforts to disfranchise
foreigners, rather overshot the mark. They
recommended an, amendment to the constitu

in this commonwealth unless he shall have
been a resident within the jurisdiction of the
United, States twenty-one years, and legally
naturalized." Should this amendment be
adopted the effect would be that none but na

A DIFFICULTY IN DICKINSON COLLEGE.-
Quite a difficulty existed for several days in
the latter part of last and -the beginning of the
present week-,--between the, faculty and stu
dents of Dickinson College,' which for a time
assumed a threatening aspect . . It appears
some three or four students were charged with
offences, such. as putting tar on 'the black-'
boards, &c., and dismissed from 'the college.
To this proceeding some seventy or more stu
dents.touk exception and refused to attend to
their college duties unless those who had been
dismissed were re-instated. The faculty re
fusing to aequies'ce in these demands, the . stu
dents in a spirit of insubordination, held meet
ings, made speeches and marched through the
streets in a body. This state of athiirs contin
ued from Saturday until Tuesday, when 'the
matter was fully adjusted, and the students'
have resumed their duties. --Car lisle Democrat.

SNOW TWENTY FEET DEEP.—The Buffalo
Commercial of the 31st ult., 'speaking of the
snow obstructions ou the railroads in that re-
won, says :
On the division of the Central road, between
here and Niagara Falls, there is a pretty thor
ough blockade, arid we understand that be
tween here and Tonawanda the drifts are very
heavy, and have caused more or less detention
to trains. The Buffalo and New York City
road has suffered more inconvenience than all
the others. About eight miles . from this city
and at Warsaw the snow is stacked up in, '
pla
ces to the depth of twenty feet, so that a per
son can step from the surface of it directly upon
the top of the cars. Four trains are fast in the
snow between here and Hornellsville, two of
which are passenger trains and two freight—
one of them is in a drift eight miles from here,
with about one hundred passengers.
U WHAT A HAT!—The Easton .Brgus tells
about one of its subscribers calling t the office
wearing a hat which he had worn fir the lag
forty years. Of course he did not wear it every
day, but kept itfor Sunday use, and wore it
occasionally on holy days. It was still a good
hat, and looked as though it would last 40
years more. The owner said that the changes
of style made it a fashionable hat every five or
six years.

rhe Publisher takes great pleasure in being
able to announce another new work by this
celebrated and popular American Authoress.--
A celebrated critic, who has read the work in
manuseript, says: " 'lndia ; or, the Pearl of
Pearl River,' taki•g it all in all, is the best
work Mrs. Solithivorth has yet written. It is
one great merit in this lady's fictions, that
they faithfully- delineate lire and manners,
without - emerin,g on vexed social, religious or
political issues. In India.' the reader will
find a vivid delineation of lire South West.-
1 But this is not all : The characters are h - oloy
driiwn; the incidents natural, and the nation of
the story rapid and absorbing. The two hero.
ines are finely contrasted. The hero is i no
ble creation; strong in will, earnest in purpose,
firm for the right, and persevering to the end
in whatever he believes to he justice and
truth. We cannot recall, in any late work, a
character so ideally lofty, yet so faithful to
reality. The heroic spirit in which he goes
west, abandoning the luxuries he has been ac
customed to, and settling down in his rude
' log hut, determined to conquer fortune with
his own good right hand, is, indeed. the trite
type of a self-relying American. No fiction
of M r. South worth's bears such`` proofs of care
ful finish. It ought, on these several accounts,
to have a popularity unrivalled by any of her
former works, spite of the immense circula
tion they have attained."
