The article in ibis paper written by a Chioago
odiior is well worth a perusal. The writer takes
the Bame view of the advantages and prospeote
of Pittsburgh that we have often expressed.
We know of no inland city that has equal advan
tages for manufacturing business. Our iron and
coal are inexhaustible, and our market is the
whole wide West and Southwest, from Lake Su
perior to the Gulf of Mexico, and from the Alle
gheny Mountains to the Pacifio ooean. For the
manufacture of iron in all its forms and nsea,
glass, farming utensils, cotton goodß, woollens,
locomotives and oars, and various other fabrios,
this city has advantages that will never fail, and
every year the market is increasing as the West
fills up with population.
To bear our manufactures to these markets
we have three rivers, canals, and shall soon have
seven railroads. Theao ra.lroads, with their nu
merous connections with other roads, will give
us direot and speedy access to every rich farm
ing and mineral region, and every important
point and every large oity in the country.. What
more does Pittsburgh need to be the first among
the inland cities of the Union? It needs only
enterprise, confidence iq tho future, the means
to oomplete speedily our splendid system, of
railroads, and to improve the Ohio river. This
can all be done, and the sooner the better for
the prosperity of the oity. There is already in
tho basin at the jnnotlon of our three rivers a
population of a hundred thousand, and in less
than twenty years that population will probably
be more than doubled.
Wo prediot that within two yoars oity property
will beoome more valuable, and oity business
manufactures and oommcrce—will reoeive a
fresh and vigorous impulse. The high prioes
of food last year has diminished the population
of cities, and perhaps ovcr-Btimnlated tho agri
cultural interest. That is shown in the vast
quantities of publio lands sold this year being
a greater quantity sold than ever before in any
year. But a year or two of low prioes of food
will produoe a reaotion and give population a
tendenoy towards oities, and money will seek
oity investments. And we know of no plaoe
where money can be more safely and profitably
inveeted than in some of the nnmerone manu
facturing and oommeroial interests of Pitts
burgh.
Read the Chioago editor’s artioie.
ThB liSDOBtt ahd thb Blad<ihteb. — We have
hid to record another murderous aooldent upon
a railroad. And in rending the acoonnt of it we
felt very muob disposed to censure some one.
There is always fault somewhere when soch fatal
aooidents occur. But in tho midst of our re
flections we remembered’the oaso of the Phila
delphia Ledger. Some time ago a serious acci
dent occurred on another railroad. An investi
gation was had, and it resulted in throwing the
blame on one of tho agents of the oompany.
The Ledger published the report of the investi
gating committee. The agent, who was blamed
and discharged, Bued the Ledger for publishing
that report, and a besotted jury gave two thou
sand dollars damages. Now thore were be tween
20 and 30 oitizens killed by the late aooldent
on the-New Jersey road. If the press apeak
out plainly and honestly in regard to tho aooldent
who knowß what damages juries will give to
faithless agents whoße fault may have caused
this destruction of human life. It is notioable,
too, that the Philadelphia papers in comment
ing upon this last slaughter take particular oare
to censure no one. They remember the oase of
the Ledger, and oonctude that when railroads and
juries are concerned they oannot afford to speak
the truth. The truth in such matters is too ex
pensive a luxury for them to indulge in. So we
are only treated to homilios about the neoossity
of a doable traolt ; and no effort is made to find
out the party whose guilty negligenoe has oaus
ed this murder.
The “Black” Republicans,
The “Republicans” of Philadelphia hold a
mass convention in the District Court room on
Thursday evening, at which resolutions were
passed and speeobes made. We recognize
among the actors on the ocoastou none but old
line Abolitionists and Freesoilers, snoh m Wm.
Bimey, Geo. H. Earle, Prof. Charles D. Cleve
land, Pliny E. Chase and John Sartain. If
these men are the representatives of the repub
lican sentiment in that quarter, we will wager
a hat that tioket will not poll one thousand votes
in the oity and oonnty of Philadelphia. They
belong to the “black abolition” gang, with
whom the Clay and Webster Whigs will no more
loalesoe than oil will mix with water.
A.J’fiihblo meeting was held in Cincinnati,
Ohio, on Thursday evening, which was fully at
tended. Judge Johnston, Charles Anderson,
Esq , and Gen. Geiger made speeches giving
Chase “fits.”

on the front seat by the Dr.; the side ourtains

Mrs Cook until we got out of the oarriage; I
did not obsorvo the oars passing np at all; 1 am
not hard of hearing: I did not know there was a
railroad there. We wore going, aa nearly aa 1
could tell, at tho rate of seven or eight milos an
hoar Previous to coming to the railroad, 1 had
not observed a train passing np; there were four
of us in the carriage, besides a ohild; Mrs
Antrim, Mrs Ilauekin and a male ohild were
the persons in the carrlago beside the Dr. and
myself; l Dover rode with the Dr. before.
Dr. Hauekia, affirmed—l reside at Columbus,
in this county; 1 am a physician; Columbus is
about eight miles from horr; 1 was in tho region
of the railroad oooident yoeterday; 1 drove
round to Floronoe to visit some pationte; on my
way to Burlington 1 turned out to the rivor to
aross tho Bordenlown road; 1 heard no car
whistle from the time I left the river until 1 was
struck by the oars; I heard no noiso of any cars
ooming; I was very particular in looking np and
down the traok of the railroad to see if I coaid
seo any oars coming either way; I oould neither
Bee or hear any cars on the road; 1 remarked a
few minutes before we oame to tho railroad
traok, after looking nt my watoh, that we should
be in time to clear tho cars; the time had theo
elapsed for their passin., the first notice I had
of tho oars approaohing was a rambling noise
of the cars coming along; 1 then immediately
drew the reins of my horses with all my force,
hut too late to prevent a oollision; 1 did not see
the oars at all; I just heard the rumbling which
apprised me of my danger: I snpposo I was ten
or fifteen feet from tho railroad when 1 first
hoard the rambling.

Baggage-master on the train, bo brought bo
fore tho jury, also, Mr. Perrine, the Telegrsph
Agent, Wm. H. Gaumer, Esq., the Agent of the
Camden and Amboy Railroad, and Switch-tender,
which was permitted.
Israel Adams, sworn—l reside at New Bruns
wick, N. J ; 1 am an engineer; I am omployed
by the Camden aod Amboy Railroad Company :
1 have been in tho employ of tho Company
eleven years; 1 was engineer of tbe 10 o’clock
line np from Philadelphia yesterday; I arrived
at Burlington ten minutes before elevon o’olook ;
I left Burlington stalion at two minutes past
eleven; the oauso of our remaining at the Bnr
liDgton station twelve minutes was on aooount of
the down train being behind time ; tho time of
leaTiog Burlington by the time table is eight
miontoe before oloven o’olook ; my reason for
wailing ten minutes behind time was on aooount
of the six and eight o'olook lines from New York
being behind tbair time ; the eight o'olook train
from New York was behind time at Burlington;
was behind more than ten minutes when we
went on; we met the eight o’olook line from
New York up by the switches, about two miles
from Burlington; when I saw the train I pnt on
the sliding breaks and stopped ; l then gave the
threo blows of the whistle to come baok ; at the
time 1 gave tho signal to oome book, the eight
o’olook line wae over a mile and a half from us ;
when 1 went baok, 1 made for the Mount Holly
switoh; my objeot in making for the Mount
Holly switon was to loave them go by; they
were at the stake first, and wore entitled to the
right of tho traok ; the grade from tho point
where I gave the signal to tho Mount Holly
switoh is shout forty feot to the mile down
grade; we wero goingjmokwards about fifteen
miles an hour; there Mere eight cars attached
to tho train; six passenger oars, mall oar, and
ono platform oar for orates; I waß on the look
out when wo were ooming down the grade ; at
about three hundred yards from the oross-roads
I blew the whistle ; 1 had not rnn a groat dis
tanoe before we all fetobed np; when we fetohed
np I was inside looking at my engine ; I had
just shut off the valve; my cause for shutting off
the valve was to stop ; I gave one long whistle
for tho cross roads ; I did not, after givmg the
whistle, givo tho signs to break np ; 1 did not
think 1 hod any oooasion to do so; 1 was not at
tho piaoe for the signal to be given ; I was pres
ent daring the testimony of Dr. Hanekin ; I did
not see the horses before 1 oaine in oontaot with
them ; I oould have seen a team from tbe npper
aide if I was on the look-out; I was near the
oroes-roads with my engine when 1 found aho
was fetohing up ; ten miles an hour in bioking
is considered half speed.
The Jury adjourned until 2 o’olook.

English Nkwspapkus ei. Amsbicah Ditto. —
We have received from Mr. O'Neill, formerly of
this oily, but now on a visit to his friends In
Ireland, a file of The Evcnlt, a paper published
in Liverpool, at a half penny per number. It is
printod on a medium sheet, not quite half tho
ulie of the Hobhiho Post, contains four oolumns
to the page, and has not a single advertisement
to bless Itself with. When we take into consid
eration that Liverpool is a oity of nearly half a
million inhabitants, and the oommeroial metro-
polis of the greatest oommeroial empire upon the
faoe of the globe, this soaly appearanoe of her
penny press, and absenoo of all advertisements,
(whioh is the only eonroe of revenue in a paper
of that class,) is truly remarkable, and shows
our English oousins are at leußt a quarter of a
oentury behind Brother Jonathan, both in that
kind of literature for the million, and the advan
tages of letting the masses know where you do
business, through the medium of the press
gffi- The accident on the railway in New Jor
eey, a fow days sinoo, will probably cost tho
Camden and Amboy Company a rousing sum.
Twenty persons are killed and over fifty are
wounded. The Company is one of tho wealthiest
and most snooeesful in the United States. Its
stock is held at fifty per cent premium. It is
in fact o great and overgrown monopoly. It is
dearly in fault in regard to the late disaster,
and juries will lay on roundly.
Tbe next sitting of the Southern Commercial
Convention—an learn from a oiroalar “to the
people of the Southern, Western, and South
western Btales,” dated ot Yioksburg on the 10th
inst.—is appointed at Riobmond, Vo, on the
19th November.
The Chicago Press says " Numerous prepa
ratory symptons are already betokening the
approeoh of ono of the busiest fall seasons wo
hare ever had. Reoeipts from the new crop are
now rapidly increasing, and will soon be loading
every avenue of communication to its falleßt ca
pacity.
Wednesday morning's express train from Cin
cinnati for Columbus, ran over a man who was
lying on the traok. Tbo man was about thirty
years of age, decently dressed, and had a hand
kerchief tied around his forehead He was not
recognised by any one, and there was no clue by
which the body oonld be identified.
The Washington Examiner in publishing the
tioket put in nomination by the Allegheny De
mocracy, follows it with these remarks:
The name of tbe venerablo Judge Wilkins
will be of itself a tower of strength to the tioket,
and even a defeat with such a man will be
glorious. So it seems the fmioniett of Alle
gheny oounty did not succeed in their efforts;
and so must it be whenever the Demoorooy do
not loso sight of their true interests. Here in
Washington oounty thero was a strong seoret de-
Bire on the part of a few to sill a portion ot our
tioket; but the thing was so absurd and un
reasonable that we nipt It in the bnd. All that
is neoossary for the Democratic party is to
nominate good, sodsd, HONEST MEN for offioo,
and that will oommand the respeot and support
of the people. Our principles are as Bound and
oommendable as ever, but we must have good
and reliable men as candidates to represent
those principles.

unless they take no notioe of the signal; it is
very seldom done ; the fireman gave me no no
tioe ■ the breaksman gave me no notioe of the
situation of the train; our rate of speed is
about thirty miles an hour; we very seldom ex
ceed this rate, unless we are behind time ; and
then we have the privilege of running forty
miles on hour; in running ahead we have a pro
tection from the oow-oatoher, whioh would throw
the obstaole off the traok. There was a now
rope attached to the bell; it wob in complete
order ; there was a turn-out about twenty feet
above the stake ; the engine was reversed before

delphia; I am a conductor; I am employed by
the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company; I
have been in their employ for s jven year*-; 1 bad
charge of the ten o’olook morning line from
Philadelphia, on August 29, 1866; I arrived at
Burlington at ten o’clock fifty-one minutes, and
-left at between two and three minutes after
eleven; I went to the telegraph offioe to see if
they had any news of the down train; was in
formed that they arrived at. Bordentown at 10
o'clock 60 minutes; I met the down train about
three miles oat of Burlington; the only way I
could judge was from the timo we were running
on; I looked at my watoh at the time Adams,
the engineer, gave the signal; we loosed the
: brakes, and the train was Btopped; one blow of
tbo whistle to loose the brakes, and then three
short whistles to back; when the train backed I
was on the platform between the mail and pas*
senger oar; the train run back about two miles
I should think; I did not take out my watoh at
the time of the collision; we were running some
parts of the way, after we first started, 15 or
20 miles an hour; I have a general super fision
from the time the oars leave until they reach
New Brunswlok; there wo change the conduc
tors; the New Jersey road takes the train on to
New York; when we loft Burlington the signal
rope was attached to the bell; the boll to whioh
the rope is attached is on tho engines; the rear
brakesman was not in a position to see the car
riage; it would have been bis duty to give notice
had he seen the carriage in time; the forward
brakesman was at his post when we left Bur
lington; I was on the right hand side while they
were going; and while returning: I oould not
see the carriage at all; I was in the best possible
position to see the track; I presume the cause
of tho cars running off the track was owing to
their coming in oollision with tho horses at
tached to the oarriage. I heard the whistle of
my own train, bat I did not know that there
was a crossing at this point, as I have never be
fore had occasion to stop at so short a distance
above tho Mount Hol y traok; I remained on !
the platform, ar.d as soon as I perceived tbo
engineer was slackening his spoed, I turned my
head to see what was the matter, and almost
instantly 1 felt a jar of the train; I immediately
reached for the bell rope when the roofs of two
of the oars came together so suddenly that I
oouid not give the signal; 1 believe those per
sons now dead came to their deaths by the train
coming in oollision with a pair of horses across
the track; there were six first class passenger
oars and mail or smoking oar; there were five
first-class passenger oars broke; we had one
extra passenger car attaohed to the rear that
morning; no passengers were in it; I examined
the tickets ooming up; there were throe oars,
lettered A, B and C; those who were wounded
and killed were io different positions; some on
their books, and others sitting; when 1 left
Burlington i expected to meet the other train
at Florence.
Question by ajaror.
Had there been two track* on the road there
would have been no occasion to back tbo train;
I do not consider that the engineer was running
at a rapid rate; l did not give hitnany orders
after we left Burlington.
Pittsburgh through a Chloago Editor's
Spectacles*
Mr. Bross, editor of tho Chicago Democratic
Press, was in town last week, and in a late num
ber cf his paper gives hie opinion of the Iron
City as a commercial and manufacturing place'
Wc propose now to say what wo had not room
to write in oar letter from Pittsburgh on Friday
evening last. In the afternoon we were so for
tonato as to meet our good friend D. W. Boss,
Ksq , and in company with him and Jae. P. Barr,
Esq . of the Pittsburgh Morr.ing Post, we rode
about the city and were enabled to form somo
idea of the wealth and tho resources of the Iron
City. In the first place the hills and mountains
around Pittsburg are filled with iron and coal,
and in no oily in the union can these essential
dements of oivilixatioa bo had at a less cost.
In addition to snoh large deposits of the raw
material, the people of Pittsburgh, as might be
expected, add largely to their value by manu
facturing iron Into almost everything which the
necessities of oommeroe may rrqulro. She has
forges, rolling mills, machine shops, steel spring
and nail factories, and olhor “similar institu
tions" almost without number. We knew that
! IViaburgh was jastly entiled to the name of
1 the “laus Cm,” but wc had no just oonoeption
i of tho extent to which the business was carried
The city is substantially built, but the cou
Ataut burning of so muoh bituminous ooal gives
i: a dark and gloomy appoaranoe, peculiar to
i(self. But still the substantial prosperity and
-he sure basis which tho city enjoys for porma*
□out and rapidly ioorooslng wealth atone »o
mtua? or Business men for this atrxy and some*
what repulsive ospeolahich the oity at first pre
sents. We were greatly aarprised to aeo that
the magnificent hills by whioh tho oity is sur
rounded were not orowdod with tho elegant
mansions of her “solid citizens/’ The prospect
from them mast be remarkably fine, ond the
paro bruoiog air delicious, and ere long they will
no doubt be fully ocoupied.
After visiting several of the larger iron manu
factories, the water works, aud the C. S. Areo
nal, we rode to the cemetery, oa the AUegbooy
river, some two or three miloa north of the oity.
it certainly is one of the most beautiful spots it
was ever our fortune to visit. The taste and
eleganoe with which the grounds are adorned
are iu the highest degree complimentary to the
oitizens of Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh and her environs oontaln, if wo
mistake not, considerably over a haodrod thou
sand inhabitants. Bhe depends mainly on her
manufactories for her prosperity ; but her com
mercial position is commanding and important.
Situated at the confluence of the Allegheny and
Monongahela rivers, she enjoys a large trade
from the valleys of these rivers, as it naturally
concentrates here from Virginia and Pennsylva
nia. But it is from the west, we might say the
/jr wtH, that she derives the largest share of her
oommeroial prosperity. Qo with us, or go alooe
as we did, to her levee, and spend an hour
among the large piles of goods that are boing
rapidly shipped upon tho steamers whioh crowd
the shore for nearly a mile. Look at the pack
ages, and note their destination. Yoa will find
they ore to go to tho most important towns and
oities along the beautiful Ohio, down to its
mouth, in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Virginia and
Kentuoky. But her trade does not stop at tbo
mouth of the Ohio. Yoa oao find goods marked
for most points along the Mississippi, in Mis
souri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and
Louisiana, down to New Orleans. Still moro.
Bweep up tho Mississippi and Missouri, and yoa
oan find paokages marked for lowa, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Kansas and Nebraska; and not only
does the oommerco of Pittsburgh and her manu
factured articles reaoh the border oities of tbo
Btatos and Territories above named, but they
penetrate from their oentre to their oircumfer
ence. Need it be wondered at that eho is a
great and is to be a fab obeatbb city? She
sits as a queen at the bead of tho beautiful
valley of the Ohio, and with queenly dignity and
grace she wears her oonoeded honors, and awaits
with calm assuranoo the progress of her manifest
destiny-
For many years she has built, if we mistake
not, the most of the steamers that have been
wanted for the-trado of tho magnificent rivers
with whioh she is conneoted. The Pennsylvania
Central railroad gives her a direot connection
with Philadelphia and the oities on the seaboard,
and she is extending her iron arms in all direc
tions westward through the Mississippi Valley.
She has also oanals connecting her with the
seaboard and the lakes, giving nil the Q d*
vantagos whioh a water oommnnication oan
afford.
While the Ohio is in navigable condition, her
steamers start from her wharves on their long
journey of two and perhaps nearly three thou
sand miles, and distribute the produota of her
industry to the people on all sides as they pass.
These faots are but the of what tho
immortal Washington saw In vision when he
was sojourning on the banks of the Ohio a oen
tury ago.
The merchants of Cbioago deal very largely
with those of Pittsburgh, and unless it oan be
shown that we oan get our iron ore from the
Lake Superior mines and manufacture it here
more cheaply than we oan get it from Pitts
burgh, this trade is destined largely to increase.
Three or at most five years, we firmly believe,
will demonstrate that Cbioago oan manufacture
her own iron; but still Pittsburgh will always
have an abundance of customers, and oan easily
afford to loso Chicago.
Our readers oan easily imagine that wo were
very muoh interested and pleased with our visit
to Pittsburgh. Oar exoeUent aooammodaUons
at the Monongahela House added muoh to the
pleasant remembrance of our visit. ar
ware and iron merchants need not be told that
it iB one of the best hotels in the country. To
its gentlemanly proprietor, and to our kind
friends, Messrs. Boss and Barr, are we especial
ly indebted, and hope to be able to reciprocate
their politeness at no distant day.
