The aecompanying report of the enginecrot

of the:past and present condition of the work,
- the causes which have led to an apparent dis
crepancy! in the. estimates of the cost of its
completion, and an able argument in favor of
its future value as a source of revenue.
It may, perhaps be deemed superfluous to
reitemteithe views heretofore expressed 'by
the board, and their predecessors, in favor of
an immediate completion of this work. Three
millions fifty-nine - theusand nine hundred and
thirty-nine dollars and sixty cents have been
*speeded upon it,—leaving but the sum of
eight hrindred and twenty-three thetsrr.d
' hnedred dollars to be appropridied
to insurt its completion. The loss in in
terest on the amount expended, and in tolls
earned by the suspension, would have placed
t"oe line in navigable order before the present
,period, and in addition to the interest op its
.tort, have yielded it handsome revenue.

sumptean of that article justifies the belief,
-that in a few years its transportation on this
work Would alone amply remunerate the state
for its outlay., 'ln 1837, 707,702 - tons of coal
were transported on the _Delaware division.
and 33 4,017 tons on the unfinished portions of

tonfind our estimates to the transportation of

we shOuld receive in return plaster, salt, larn

• From this brief statement of facts. it is - ob..
w:ous that soimd, economy. dictates an early

Into use early in 1833, if the required appro.

funds, beyond that period, must, as a matter
ct course, Increase the cost of construction and
keep frorri the treasury the receipts of toll,
„which would otherwise flow.into it.
The propriety of making an appropriation
for the immrsiiat&completion of this extensien
is respectfully submitted to the Legislature.—

That man was. Andrew Jacksun—a -political

the home of Detnoeracy, of generous senti

contest-was that—it was morally sublime 1--
One from which every other heart would have
shrink. The, miserable hirelings, expectants,
spologizerif and blood-hounda, extending from
the Centre of this most powerful - Oligarchy
through every section of the country, were
aroused with all the madness of Hate, and let
loose upon the offending old man. Calumny
with its bittereit breath, and slander with its
slimiest tongue, upas-like poisoned the atmos

to perpetuate 'its dominion and sanctify its
crimes. Its fangs iwere fastened in the gov
ernment, it had tasted the warm blood of the
Treasury.,. The current swept on with over.
whelming farce,but it beat against the old man
in vain. He stood firm as the everlasting
Hills, and rose triumphant from the conflict,
because 1114 was armed with principle, with
Truth and Justice, which,." will live,—live in'

By the aide of Jackson, in that struggle,
stood most prominently one own loved Com-•

Dreadful Accident on the New , York + Erie

morning, ran the hind Car off the track into the.
Delaware Rive), near Equinunk. Cause,. a
broken rail. The Cur turned over twice or
three times and broke through the ice Into
the River, wkere the water came to within one

iTniversil Benevolence.
We have received a long coMmunicalion on'
this subject, from that very good old man,
Friend Walker, with whose producticins our
renders are quite familiar. We have not room
this week for the communication, and as the
greater part of it is taken up in explaining his
doctrines, which era universally understood,
we give acligest of that part relating to a new
project of a sort of Peace mission, " to the in
habitants of the earth and elsewhere among
She nations."
Friend Walker proposes that Congress shall
take the matter in hand, and send Ambassa. -
dorls thronghout the world to proclaim Uni
versal Benevolence and reconcile mankind.—,
He thinks that wars would then be done away,
and all lesser strifes and contentions cease.—
This would cdrtainly be a philanthropic enter
prise, the &mission of which in Congress,
would be full as profitable to . the country as
Senator Foote's Resolution on the Compro
miie; and possibly would save to that body
some broken noses, or a second encounter, at
least, between Senator Borland and Mr. Ken
nedy.
The following is a list of the principal
.names which Friend Walker proposes as suit
able persons, who shall go, as of old we sup
pose, two by two, taking along their ladies
(what if they havn't got nity-?) to act as " help
meats" in the ‘xork. They are to visit the
Sultan of Turkey, Queen Victoria, Emperor
of il.mssia, &e.—President Fillmore and Cabi
net ; Judge Jessup and John C. Miller ; Judge
Eldred and Wm. F. Johnston;- Col. Asa Dim
ock and T. P. Cope Gen. Scott ,and R. J.
Niven ; Gen. Cass and J. W. Chapman; Thad
deus Stephens and Henry Drinker ; -Commo
dore Stockton and F.J.Mstt ; M. Meylert and

ner ;Judge Wilinot and JUs. Buchanan; Judge
Boyle and Geo. M. ; E B. F.t. S: B.
Chase ; a Governor from each' State and a
President JUdge of each Court;--one hundred
`.l
in all.
These are to be allowed, from the Treasury
of the Govermnentithe same as is allowed to
Members of Congresi. This provision we are
decidedly ;n favor of, es -we shall then .comp
in for the dimes. . We most sincerely hope
that Friend Walker will incet with. success in
this enterprise, and we.commerut it to the im.
mediate attention of Cimgress.. That body
has yet done nothing, and we think this proj.
ect worthy of their deliberation; and the doe.
trine of Unh'ersal Bentivolcren their own
adoption, espezially if, - they. have any benevo.
lence for the, purse of Uncle Ssra"or -the pa.

We regret to learn that Mr. Azrnza
CAN VIELD, a drover and energectic business
man residing at Branchville, died , of wounds
he received from the railroad cars at Jer
sey city on Friday last. The particulars
°Oho oecurretice as we learn them, are as
follows. He had gone down that morning
in the . Morris freight train in company with
some stock ho had shipped the: preceding
evening ; and after leaving the Ipassenger
car in the depot, went by mistake to the
northerly side of the depot where the New
Brunswick train stops, instead of the south.
erly side where the Morris freight goes, to
look after -MS freight. As he was about to
step frnin the car hack upon titt; platform
of the depot, (which is the same, height in
the platform of the cars,) and looking of
another direction, the New Brunswie freight
train was pushed in by hand, causing him
to fall immediately between the car and
the Rides of. the platform ; the space be
tween the platform and the side of the car
beingg - but a few inches wide, barely admit
:Ling, his extremities • one limb was wound'
' around the other, an d in the onward move
ment of the car the bones of both legs
were completely crushed, While the re
maining:portions of his body, reclining in
the arms Of a friend who in vain; tried u,
extricate him, was carried forward and
supported until the movement of the car
was arrested, Ulm' being extricated, al
though
',the
to stand, _ Mr. Canfield did
not fur the moment realize the mortal na
ture of the wounds he had reeeived, his
limbs being paralized and in a measure in
sensible to the pain which afterwards be
came so insupportable as to precladealLat•
tempts at a:nputation,
.and terminated in
his death twenty-four-hours afterwards s —
Throughout,. we are :told, he bore his suf
ferings with manly fortitude, and gave way
only in view of his sudden separation from
his family and, friends. To ,his ;friends in
