An Unfortunate Manager.— A play
- was recently produced at the Porte St. Mar
tin Theatre in Paris, under the title of “The,
Parisianstnriiondon,’’which involved enor
mons expenses, and after all proved a fail
■ ure. The performances at the theatre were
suspended for three weeks, in order to re
hearse the piece and to. mount it, and the ac
tual outlay' was $20,000; so that loss and
cost “together are estimated at $30,000. The
-system of preliminary puffery was so tho
roughly carried out that every seat was
taken up for the first night, at prices as high
aB those paid to hear Jenny Xiind in Lon
don, and the first performance lasted until
: 2 o’clock in the morning. The machinery,
however, did not work; the critics pro
nounced the piece a rehash of an old play
which had been produced seventeen years
before; the dialogue was course; the dances
were too voluptuous even for the easy-going
; Parisians, and the manager withdrew from
the field.
.Napoleon’s Memory at St, Helena. —
.‘A letter from St. Helena, of the 19th August,
. says—“ The Emperor’s fete was celebrated
hereon the 15th by a ‘Te Deum,’ in the
• chapel of Longwood New House. The
Vice Consul of Prance, the officers
-of, all arms with their wives, and the
garrissn of the island, were present
at this religions ceremony, as well as
Commander de Rongemont, conservator of
the French, imperial domain of St. Helena,
and the French sub-officers, the guardians
of that celebrated spot. After the ceremony
the guests assembled at a breakfast, at
which Commander de Rongemont proposed
toasts to Napoleon HI 'and his august
-dynasty, to Queen Victoria, and to the al
liance between England and France. His
words were received with cries of ‘ ViverU
-nos Soverains ! A noire union'.’”
"Almost Suffocated.— The Burlington
Free Press says Mr. N. Allen ana his
wife, of that city, were nearly killed Sunday
night by the escape of gas from a ooal stove
in the room where they were sleeping. Mr.
Allen was roused by a groan from his wife,
had had sufficient strengh to crawl: across
the room and open a window, and the air
«oon revived them,
NO. 167
Mr. Cropsey’s large and magnificent pic
ture of “American Woods_ in Autumn” is
one of the prizes to 6 he distributed by the
Crosby Opera House Art Association. It is
now on exhibition, along with others of the
prizes, at 1305 Chestnut street. It is cer
tainly one of the best of Mr, Cropsey's ef
forts, and that is high praise, for he stands
in the front rank of American landscape
painters. The composition is yery fine, the
drawing unexceptionable. The glories of
the autumnal foliage and autumnal sky are
vividly portrayed, and the atmosphere is a
faithful representation of what may be ob
served in our forests and mountains in
these October days.
■ The Bateman Concerts.— We ■ learn
that the sale of tickets for the grand concerts
at Musical Fund Hall is quite brisk, at
Trumpler’B, Seventh and Chestnut streets.
The first concert takes place on Monday
evening, and the programme is of the most
superb, character. Parepa, Who we have
already said is probably the greatest living
singer, will give some of her‘finest efforts,
and the other artists will also sing exquisite
airs and give oharming instrumental musio.
Those who wish good seats should Becure
them at as early an hour as possible.
Benefits This Evening.— To-night all
the theatres give benefits, as is generally
the custom on Friday. At the Walnut Mr.
Edwin Booth presents his claims, and he
nill have a house as full as it is possible to
crowd humanity together, without packing
them like cotton bales. He plays Borneo,
in “Borneo and Juliet,” and Fetruohid, in
“The Taming of the Shrew.” At the Chest
nut Mr’ John E. Owens acts in “The Two
Thompsons,” “Forty Winks” and “The
Live Indian.” Any one of these pieces will
make one’s sides split, and all together they
make up a bill of unsurpassed merriment.
At the Arch Mr. D. E. Bandmann takes his
farewell, playing Charles De Moor, in “The
Bobbers.” He has made an excellent im
pression daring this engagement, and we
feel that his genius will receive a hearty re
cognition to-night. At the American Miss
Kate Fisher repeats “Mazeppa.”
Signor Blitz, with his multitudinous at
tractions, ventriloquial, magical and mu
sical, together with the birds, makes As
sembly Building a scene of enchantment
nightly and on Wednesday and Saturday
afternoons.
The Minstrels at the Eleventh Street
Opera Hjfrase never drew more fashionable
honses than at present, and never presented
finer bills.
The Lincoln Tableaux are still ex
hibited at National Hall.
-The City Museum Theatre opens to
morrow evening with a capital comedy
company.
The Human Eye.— The language of the
eye is very hard to counterfeit. You can
read the eyes of your companion while you
talk,- whether your argument hits him,
though his tongue will not confess it. There
is a look by which a man shows he is going
to say a good thing, and a look when he
has said it. Vain and forgotten are all the
fine offices of hospitality if there be no holi
day in the eye. How many furtive invita
tions are avewed by the eye, though dis
sembled by the lips. A man comes away
from a company; he has heard no important
remark, but if in sympathy with the society,
he is cognizant' of such a stream of life as
has been flowing to him through the eye.
There are eyes which give no more admis
sion into them than blueberries; others are
liquid and deep wells that men might fall
into; and others are oppressive and devour
ing, and take too much notice. There are
asking and asserting eyes, eyes fall of faith
—some of good and some of sinister omen.
Worn out Ships.— The London Times,
speaking of the wrecks on the English coast
during the past year, suggests that one of
the causes that so many ships go down
without being afterwards heard of, is that
vessels are sent to sea absolutely too old and
totally unseaworthy. The article tlms con
cludes: “The vitality of a ship, in spite or
all the perils of the sea, is something al
most incredible. The compilers of these
annual records, in order to leave no facts
uncertified, register the ages of the vessels
wrecked, and it appears that there must be
ships still doing service which have been*
afloat for more than a hundred years. It
seems, indeed, as if, apart from accidents, a
ship might swim forever. So long as all
goes smoothly no ship is too old for work; it
is only at the first mishap that her length of
days begins to tell. Then the catastrophe is
overwhelming, for the whole structure
tumbles to pieces before even the boats can
be got out.”
Anecdote of Baxter. — There is a tradi
tional anecdote of Richard Baxter, which is
supposed never to have appeared in print,
but was very popularly current forty years
ago in the west of England, and in the
counties ■ bordering on North Wales.
Richard Baxter was born at Rowtown, in
Shropshire, in 1616. When he lost his wife
be published, for the edification of other
Eions non-conformists, a “broad sheet,”
eaded “Last Words of Mrs. Baxter.” This
“broadsheet,” still extant, hut very scarce,
and dear to the hearts of all bibliomaniacs,
had an immense sale, and the printer very
shortly afterward bronght out a second ana
spurious “broad sheet,” headed "More Last
Words of Mrs. Baxter.” Richard Baxter,
unable to endure this, then issued a small
handbill, with the concise assertion, “Mrs.
Baxter did not say anything else.”
Female Doctors. —A young woman in
Paris having honorably passed two exami
nations in mixed sciences, has been autho
rized by the Minister of Public Instruction
to go through a course of medicine at Al
giers, as her medical attendance might he of
great service to the Arab population, and
through her the boon of medical science
might penetrate the tent and harem of the
Arab, where no male doctor would ever be
admitted. Lately, another lady has passed
her examination as midwife, and has ob
tained permission to offer herself as a candi
date for examination at Paris for the degree
of Doctor of Medicine.
Murder in Virginia.— A difficulty oc
curred at Oak Hall, Fauquier county, Va.,
on Monday, between James F. Jones and
M. Buckner Bayly, which resulted in the
death of the former. Mr. Jones charged
Mr. Bayly with piloting Yankees to his
(Jones’s) house during the war. A scuffle
ensued, and Bayly retreated into his store
hut immediately returned with a pistol
whioh he fired at Jones, the ball entering
the neck of the latter, and ranging down
ward, causing his death in a few hours.
. Bayly fled, and has not been arrested.
Mr. Jones leaves a wife and nine children,
Cropsey’s Woods in Antonin.
AMUSEMENTS.
PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19.1866
MEXICO.
Another Startling Rumor—Treaty Be
tween France and the United States
Concerning Mexico—The
United States- to Assume
the Protectorate over
the Republic.
; A Washington despatch to the’Bbston
Journal says: ,
Mexican affairs are assuming a definite
shape, and information- of the nighest im
portance on that snbjeot will be made pub
lic in a day or:two. Treaties have been
agreed npon, and are now under procass of
exchange. The French- troops and Max
imilian withdraw this year from Mexico;
TheUnitetl States assume the protectorate
claims. In conaidferation 11 Mexico cedes to
the United States the peninsula of Lower
California, and other territory south of onr
present southwest boundary.
Embarkation of French Troops Counter
mandedy&c.
Our dates from the city of Mexico, by’way
of Havana, are np to the 6th inst.
The French regiments about to embark
from Vera Cruz had been ordered to re
main. Conjecture was rife as to the causes
oi this change, as intelligence had not been
received in regard to the new arrangements
of Napoleon lIL The JEstafeite of the
29th warns the Mexicans that the evacua
tion will unquestionably take place at the
time agreed on with the United States, al
though a change may be made so as to have
the expeditionary corps leave in one body
instead of three detachments.
Guerilla bands of Liberals were increasing
and bad even entered the Valley of Mexico.
Apam, a town on the railroad from Mexico
to Puebla, had been plundered by one of
these bands; among the principal sufferers
was Mr. James Smith, a well known Ame
rican citizen. It is stated that a large Im
perialist force will Boon commence active
operations to clear the valley of those
bands, A Belgian force, under Col. Van
der Smissen, bad been roughly handled
near Tula by the Liberals, and in Tenango
and Zongolica small pronnnriamentos
against had occurred. Except
some indecisive movements in Sonora, no
other military events of interest are re
ported.
The programme of the new Lares Minis
try had been published; it is what in Mex
ican politics is called moderado or conserva
tive. The most noticeable features-in it are
the policy of arranging a concordat with
Borne to Bettle the vexed question of church
property, and of permitting ecclesiastical
corporations to hold real estate.
Of the Imperialist journals, all except the
JEstafetie give the new ministry a warm
support. This journal, the special organ of
the _ French intervention, does the Lares
Cabinet all the injury it can by sarcastic
comments, and indirect attacks.
The Era asserts that the postponement of
the departure of the French troops from
Mexico shows that the French Government
has not yet abandoned the Empire.
A deputation of the Commune of Mata
moras had arrived at the capital, begging
the Imperial Government to take possession
of that city;-that a large number of troops
was not necessary, as the whole population
would arise in favor of the empire.
The Estafette reports the capture of
Assam by 1,200 Liberals.
Private letters, dated Monterey, Sept. 27,
from Major-General Lew Wallace, have
been received by prominent merchants in
this city. The Liberals were very confi
dent of success, and were continually re
ceiving munitions of War, and as they ad
vanced were obtaining the necessary funds
for carrying on the war. At the time of
writing the French were retreating instead
of advancing.
Movements of Gen. Tapia—The People of
Hatamoras In favor of Xnarez—Carvaial
Retires to Private Life.
Brownsville to October 3, have
also been received,'Gen. Tapia was still in
the vicinity of Matamoras. tf The attempt
made by Americans (who were in the ser
vice of the Liberal Government) was to
place Tapia in power. Canales has issued
somanv “preatimos” to support his monte
bank, that the merchants of Matamoras are
leaving as fast as they ean get away. Tapia
was in great favor 'among the merchants
and all prominent citizens, and, as he is
supported by Juarez,, he will doubtless be
put in power.
The people .were unanimously in favor of
Juarez, and will stand by him to the last.
Carvajal had retired to private life on his
ranche.
To-day Capt. Osbon, of the Mexican Navy,
made a formal demand for the gunboat
Chinaco, from Gen. Brown, commanding
the United States forces here. The General,
whohasevidently committed several serious
blunders in connection with this gunboatg
question, informed Capt. Osbon that he
should continue to hold the Chinaco until
he received instructions from higher au
thority. Gen. Ford also requested that the
arms should be surrendered to him, whioh
was also refused.
Therg can he hut little question, if Gen.
Brown had released the Mexican gunboat,
that Captain Osbon would have run the fire
'of the forts of Canales and joined the mili
tary forces, and together they could have
operated to a decided advantage.
Oaptain Osbon had too much experience
under Farragut in running batteries to have
hesitated for an instant to run those of the
usurper Canales.
Yet it is not improbable that before day
light dawns to-morrow, the legitimate Libe
ral forces will maroh upon the city of Mata
moras. A norther is blowing, and every
thing seems propitious for the success of the
undertaking.
; Hinajosa’s forces already hold some of the
outer forts, and both parties have thrown
out strong picket lines. A large guard is
stationed at the ferry, and a chain of senti
nels extends along the river hank from
Santa Cruz down to the Casa Mata, an old
casemated work near the lower landing
;place. It can’t be long before something de
cisive turns up.
• Brownsville, Oct, 2.—C01. T. L. Sedg
wick has relieved Gen. Brown in the com
mand of this sub-district.
Capt. Osbon has 'made another formal de
mand for the gnnboat Chinaco, hut, up to
:the time of closing this letter, has received
no reply. ■ The whole matter will probably
be referred to Washington.
Hinqjoaa, Cortirias, Flores and Ford will
attack Matamoras to-morrow night, pro
bably.
The steamer Gen. Sheridan will probably
be taken off the beach at Brazos. She went
ashore on the 20th.
The 9th U. S. Colored Troops left here to
day for Galveston, preparatory to being
mustered but,
our. tthole country.
wendell Phillips obi the situa
tion.
A despatch from Boston dated last even
ing says:
Wendell Phillips spoke’before an im
mense audience in Tremctnt Temple »hi«
evening,. He delivered his new lecture- on
the “Peril of the Hour/' under the auspices
of the Bay State Association.
i^ # *^ ipaw ? nmeiiee^b y sayiagt tbsit
although he was in no state of bodily health
■ f ddress an audience, yet he preferred a»
: follow his own rule, and bring his own ex
i cuse.. When he had the honor o 3
standing on that platform a year ago,
he spoke without the full sympathy of
the audience; and, feeling as he did so,
to the effect that the plot waa already
formed, the principal was already selected,
the headquarters were already established,
by which the South should successfully ac
complish by diplomacy what she failed to
accomplish by arms. They had thought him
then premature, unduly suspicious, uncha
ritable, and fanatie in judgment, when he
• ventured to say that the Executive was not
a power to be conciliated, hut an enemy to
. be watched;- that he was not a friend 1 acting
under a mistake, bnt that he was a foe with
: a systematic and deliberate purpose to balk
and betray the result of the victory. Tb-day
there would be as few to doubt it as- there
• were last October to believe it. Such had
been the unconscious development
; of the plot at the hands- of their
own leaders. He-cameto them do-day with
alsubject similar in substance, which, it was
his purpose to endeavor to impress upon
them as a function of statesmanship. The
great weakness of democracy was that the
masses were impatient of results. Like-the
child, they dig up the seed every, twelve
hours to see whether it has- sprouted, If
they connot have a thing rounded' send
finished in a year of. twelve months,-, they
fling it aside with the impatience of an, im
mature and uncontrolled' mind. The
strength of an oligarchy is in the long
scent, the clear foresight; the plan
selected and held through- generation
after generation,disrfigardingfthe-temporal
result, contemning the transient failure,
like the long-breathed hound, that, aftec
laughing to scorn the bluff and the chadl,'
accomplishes at last, in. the fullness of time,
the harvest due to a well- considered system.
It should be the purpose of every individual
man to evdeavor to engraft-on democracy
this nature of its opposite; to hold back-oiti
zenship from the immature impatience of
the child;. to warn it against - that haste,
which, in order to grasp something, sur
renders three-quarters of- the- result of the
victory. Men cry out,. “The-States must
sit down together under the dome. of the
Capitol; the people cannot wait; ; the masses
are impatient until ail be accomplished.” I
deny it. The masses, under due warning-are
not impatient. They have shown that, in
spite or their Isader. they could save the
Republic. They have no wish to see, with
premature hurry, the Union clamped to
gether artificially with iron. They are
ready to wait|untfl natural laws develop the
power of and send'the wandering
stars back into their own orbits by the laws
of God and their system. Now, therefore,
instead of yielding to this assumed im
patience,instead of pandering to this undue
haste, if it does exist, it is the duty of every
teacher to give to the public his. full
measure of advice, to make them aware
that ours Is the time when, every month
plants the seeds of centuries;, when a mis
take now is the root of many tall branches
of mischief centuries to come. The were
to remind their fellow-citizens that
this is no ordinary time of national
life, but a veritable era, such, as
has never been, and of which history.has no
precedent. He had said lost year, speak
ing on this platform, that Jefferson Davis
never intended to rebel;, he never - intended
to defy the flag; he never intended todesert
Washington. The fatal mistake,.the-irre
parable error of the Southern movement
was that it lost the sure anchor of the ele
ments of nationality,, and its wise men saw
it in ninety days after. Thirty years-hence,
I have no doubt, the evidence will be ample
before eur children, that Jefferson Davis.in
tended to remain in Washington, to have
the power of the army and navy and the
diplomacy of the country accredited to him.
It was we that were to rebel. Wo have all
the elements out of which a nationality-is
manufactured. We have a population, by
two hundred years of teaching, able to
co-operate, subservient to the law, acknow
ledging the rule of a majority, willing to
bow to the statute, with a heart’s loyalty to
the Constitution and common law,inherited
from our fathers, prouder than of any other
legacy of the American people; they rallied
around it as the clansof Scotland did around
the blood of the Stewart, or the French pea
sant around the name of Napoleon. And
then, after all allowance for new States,
young States, and revolutionary States, we
had the i element that an American, as an
American, was more to us than any other
man that stood on the surface of the globe.
With those elements in our favor,, putting
aside our superior army and navy; it
would have been impossible that we
should have been subdued by anything'
outside of our own lines. • Our only danger
was our own unwillingness io force the
?roblem which God had given us to solve,
t was McClellan, riding like a nightmare
in the name of five hundred years ago, that
made Southern victory possible. Our dan
ger to-dav is from tne same cause. The
effort of the South for the last year hB3 been
to.retrieve her great error in leaving Wash
ington. Her purpose is in one gigantic
effort as a nation to accomplish what her
mistaken method in battle failed to do. She
took possession , of the willful and weak
tool ofthe White House for that purpose, in
order that, once counted in Senate and the
House of Representatives as a nation, she
mightcorrectthe great false step of the rebel
lion. Organized as the American people she
would proceed to do what she has never
surrendered the design,of doing. As long
ago as last June the South planned, with
the aid of the Executive, to secure gtrhat by
the retreat from Washington in 9861 she
failed to secure; and she has not given up
the effort yet. Our children will see proof
that the cunning and cowardly intellect of
the Secretary or State not only planned a
coup d’etat, but actually planned to revolu
tionize the very form ana nature of our Go
vermfient. How are we to meet the danger?
Men say that we have such a unanimity
among the. Northern people as no epoch
ever saw before. No doubt of it. The
elections which have been will be but
a tame repetition of those which are to
come. The Northern people, finding no
thing else around which to rally will rally
the almost unanimous purpose of the nation
around the Republican Party. But how
much does Republican success mean? How
much does it guarantee to absolute and
essential reconstruction? Nothing. No
single man of the Republican Party dares,
address his fellow-citizens without ignoring

that, thff yery first act of that House is to im
peach the President of the- United States.
Away with all questions af admitting that
!StaSa or the other,therejecMon or acceptance
of tills or the other amendment;-the object of
■the Congress of the United States-ahonld be
;to griVfem tibie Repablio. And'in-OKter to do
that,the firatstep is to impeach the President
of the United States, and while the trial is
j going on to remove him from his office,
i Impeashment is worth nothing without the
jremovabof the President unthhis inDocence
|is established. To have the head of the na
tion, by his own avowal, the head-ofa rebel
lion, in possession of the national' strength
while he is tried,' is a force. It is to be hoped
thisthe people will never exhibit'in therfhee
of Christendom. Lefrthe Honseof' Repre
sentativeeimpeach ths President and place
tha President of the Senate in the office, and
then we will “run the Andrew
Johnson meant to betray us last January,
Bnd yet the leading- minds of the Repub
lican Parijnmdertook toassumethathewas
mistaken, was right at‘ heart, only in error
of tJw head;; that he ought to he conciliated,
and trusted. Henry Wilson knew thafr.it
was a lie, and’yet he let the storm -beat piti
lessly for six-months. TSro ideas have been
struggling, for the mastery—the North with
an open Bible, the Declaration of Indepen
dence, and equality of men before the law
has been struggling-with the element of an
intellectual South—an element that believe*
that two-thirds should stand saddled and
bridled for the other third to that
believes in Lynch law and bowie-knives,
and iu burning men at the stake. With a-
President turned traitor, the legislative
lorce ia to govern until he is
and when he is condemned it is to-ohoose a
new President, and sail under new- aus
pices. Everybody knows that theideas of
the Ncrthare -not possible to any Southern-
State. The North cannot be recuperated
without a free interchangsof those elements
which constitute national life. The object
of the President and the Sonth is-not-dis
tinctly to restore slavery, but is to possess
this ac* a national element of victory to
come, If they once put themselves in the-
Senate and the House they will have abun
dant means to seize upon something more.
Let tha South come into this council, and
she can afford to make politicians richer
than Stewart, of New Turk, in order to
cover her purpose of acknowledging the-
Southem debt. The amendment wnich puts
the word “men” in She Constitution is
an atrocious insult oa the nineteenth!
century. At a time when the
greatesfr thinkers of the century are opening
their eyas to the great apestion which is just
appeariognbove the horizon, the attitude of
man, the Constitution of our fathers is to be
clamped down to an Ignorant and partial
civilization. Whose faslt is it that the flag
which stands behind three hundred thou
sand patriot graves and three thousand
million&of dollars has no protection for-a
citizen underlie folds-? Whose fault is it
that James Durant cannot walk the streats
of New Orleans? Not President! Johnson’s.
It is Li out. .Gen. Grants. The most hu
miliatingyosition on this continent to-day
is occupied-by Ulysses-Grant. Have we
conquerad New Orleans-?. Is it
ours? Then why are not its streets safe?.
Has Gen. Grant no troops? If not, why
doesn’t he ask Congress? He knew--the
state ofthe Southern communities, if he
did not, then he has- not the sagacity and
prudence-which fit him for hia office. If he
knew that he did not have-the means to
make the flag respected, the Senate would
have given him (if he had asked) one hun
dred thousand men to make the flagsafe.
There is no President. He is a deserter. He
has lefh He has sworn allegiance to another
flag. The- legislative power is the. only
effectual and organized power left.
Mr. Phillips concluded his address as fol
lows:
I would plant the seeds of vigilance; I
would never despair. Five years. ago we
had a traitor in the White House who called
himssif a “Public Functionary.” He has
been engaged during the last yean in ex
plaining to the world why his treason did
not succeed. W-e have sow- a traitor.in tha
While House, who calls-himself a “humble
individual.” Do your duty, nothin 1869 he
will be making a speech to explain why he
did not succeed. Mr. Phillips was listened
to with the closest attention.

A ft re oesurred a beet 1. o’clock yesterday
morning, in the large four-story brick
building Nos. 517, 513 and 523-. Fifth street,
near Avenue C. When first discovered the
flames wese burning fiercely on the rear of
the seoond floor, and also on the outside
stairway, and, owing, to the inflammable
nature of the contents, they spread with
great rapidity. An alarm was at once given,
but owing to some mistake signal “No.
235” was sounded, indicating Seventeenth
Btreet and Avenue B. -Considerable confu
sion ensued among the- firemen in conso-
Suenee of this error, and thet?-arrival at
le fire was necessarily delayed. These
companies lying near the scene were,
however, soon at work. Before an
hour had elapsed a portion of the front
wall fell out, and at the time a fireman stood
on a ladder resting against one of the win
dows. How the man escaped instant death
is wonderful,but beyond a few slight bruises
he sustained no serious injury. The build
ing and its contents were destroyed. The
first floor and a portion of the fourth were
occupied by E. A. Hopkins, as a cooperage.
Loss in stock, §1,500; insured for §l,OOO. The
second and third floors were occupied by
King <!fc Eels, ship-joiners, whose loss is
about $5,000; uo insurance.' A part of the
fourth floor was oocupied by M. Kerner,
cabinet-maker; loss / §1,000; no insurance.
The building belonged to Mr. Bunnell, and
is damaged to the extent of §5,000; insured
by,Mr. Hopkins, the lessee, for §2,500. The
origin of the fire is supposed to be acci
dental.
The “Ledgbb Canabd.”—As thereseems
to he a disposition to prolong the disoussion
in reference to "The Ledger canard,” as it is
called, so far as we are concerned we shall
now say finally that, having examined all
the evidence, we do not find the slightest
reason for charging The Ledger with unfair
ness or wrong. That newspaper was im
posed upon, as any newspaper may be, no
matter now carefully managed. No one
can accuse Mr. Childs, it seems tons, with
out showing malice toward a gentleman
whose good name should at least command
for him courtesy and trust. In bis case the
evidence is all one way, and. does notreflect
upon him nor upon any one concerned in

Meadville, Pa., Oct. IS;. 5868.—Yester
day morning, about half-past two o’clock,
as the Express train for New York on the
Atlantic and Great Western Railroad was
passing a curve three and a half miles the
other side of Union, about SS> miles from
Meadville, it ran off the track and plunged
down an embankment 30 feet-, high. The
engine, baggage car, two passshger cars*
•had two sleeping coaches went down, and
were badly damaged. Anumbesrof‘persona
ware hurt. Mr. C. F;. Matthews of l Elmira,
N. Y., was instantly killed, his skull being
■ crushed in. Mr. A. D: White, the conduc
‘ tor, bf Meadville, was injured. ISrs. Bell,
residing near Cincinnati; Ohio, who was on
her wedding' tour, was slightly injured;
and one man belonging in Jamestown.
New York, had his arm broken
and was injured about the head and throat.
, The other injuries were all slight. Asi ope-’
rator and a telegraph repairer of the West
,em Union Telegraph Company, who were
upon the train, immediately cut the wire,
and senfra despatch to Meadville; upon the
receipt of which a locomotive was sent to
the spotvhaving on board Gen. D. McLaren,
Superintendent of the Road, and Dr. John
F. Ray., surgeon. The wounded were all
cared for; and part of them sent to Corry,
about twelve miles distant;' The rest were
brought t» Meadville. Gee.-McLaren rcade
an examination of the track where the acci
dent occurred, and found that the rail had
been removed from the track upon the:
inside of the curve, the removal of which,
had caused the accident. This rail was
found nee? the. middle of the track, not.
battered in> the least, while-all its neigh
bors showed signs of thumping and banging
: from the car wheels. The spikes which had -
fastened the removed rail were missing.
Every indication proved that the accident
was the result of malice on the part of some
persons unknown. The Company are de-
to- thoroughly investigate the
matter, and have offered a reward of §2,000
for the apprehension of the scoundrel, be
side employing a detective to--ferret out all
of the circumstances of the case. Mr. Mat
thews was the first passenger ever killed on
: the Atlantic and Great Western Road. TTig
body was taken in charge by the Freema
sons of this cky, he being a member of the
fraternity, and kept in their hall till the
.news[could’ be sent to his- relatives. A
nephew arrived-in town last night, and took
his remains to Elmira to-day. A coroner’s
■inquest upon his body returned a verdict
in accordance with the facts stated above;
: A Counts yuan nt Tboublb.—Says the
N. Y. Kmes.-Mr. Perez M. Bailer,a baker,
living at Perth Amboy, yesterday related -
his adventures while on a. spree in New
York. Mr. Sailer arrived in the 'city on
Monday, having received his week’s wages
on Saturday night. On landing, he pro
ceeded forthwith to Water street and took
several drinks at various groceries. He
then went to a dance-house and treated
several girls several times, they taking’
light drinks while he indulged in liquor of
a more stimulating qualfty. Next he is
heard of in the private apartments of one
or two different girls, and giving monev to
each. Then something to- eat for himself
and. the girls, .and then more drinks.
Eventually he took a walk with Margaret
Kelly, visiting her apartments and other
places of interest in her company. He soon
missed a pocket-book containing §lO, and
accused Margaret of having it. She denied
the assertion, and ran away from him. The
individual from the country then called a
policeman, gave her into his custody, and
made a charge against her. Having thus
performed his duty to society, he went into a.
grocery, took a drink, treated some mom
girls, and after taking a. drink, stowed him
»elf away on some barrels for the purpose
ef taking a nap after the fatigues of file day.
While lying thus carelessly about, he Bays
he saw the bartender ot the place, Otto
Btauhaakan, “going through him,” or, in
other woads, .robbing him of more money.
This person he accuses of taking §27, Mr.
Fuller roused himself, took a drinks and.
called a policeman. The bartender was-ar
rested, and the country gentleman, after
taking a drink, went to the station-house
and made charge No. 2, and then went and
took a drink. Some more girls and some
drinks- followed,, and then Mr. Fuller be
came oblivions to both girls and drinks.
When he recovered his senses, he found all
his money had disappeared, and he had uot
enough left to buy even a drink. It having
been pretty clearly shown that he had
money when in company with Margaret,
and only enough to treat; the girlaand him
self when he -Sell into the hands of Beau
haaken, the gj-rl was sentenced to the Peni
tentiary for six\months and the bartender
was acquitted.
A Good Bsstjlt oe SHE Wae.- I The Nash
ville (Tenu.) P? -ess and Times says “that
the corrupting prejudices against manual
labor have been swept away. Private for- ’
tunes of colossal proportions, resting on
slavery, have vanishea as the frost before
the rising sun. Thousands of families that
used to dress in purple and fine linen and
fare sumptuously every day , are now thrown
on their unaided procure food,
raiment and shelter. Necessity haaleft open
no avenue to a livelihood except manual
labor. Hence the innumerable dissertations,
oi the Southern newspapers on work as the
only remaining meansiof recuperating the
wasted wealth of the country; hence the ire-*
quent exhortations to the young men to seek
employment. A nearer contact with the
once despised mechanical arts and muscular
occupations has developed new- ideas re
garding their usefulness, excellence and re
spectability. A longer acquaintance with,
their attractions and serviceableness will
have the effect of entirely dissipating the
prejudices of the Southern people against
all kinds of physical vocations. When that
day shall have arrived, the South will be
able to enter upon such a career of prospe- .
rity as never before visited its borders, and
such as its greatest statesmen never con
ceived as possible.” *
