Tkrriblb Affair at Smyrna.
Letters from Smyrna, of the 26lh ul!., give
an account of a terrible disaster which occur
red at Atlalla some days before. A fuiious
wolf suddenly appearod in the midst of the
market place and bit several persons most
severely, but, taking fright at the cries which
arose on all sides, jumped over a wall, and
pot into a largo garden where several hun
dred persons, who had come to the town on
account of the silk crop, were sleeping in the
open air. Here he wounded one hundred
anl twenty-eight persons, but being again
frightened away by the cries of the people,
he got into a sheepfold, where he killed
eight y.five sheep and wounded seventy-five,
fnfortunately, the Governor had caused
the who's population to be disarmed a few
lay before, so that the unlortunate people
were without means of defence ; but on the
following day arms were distributed and the
wolf killed. According to the report nf the
physician of the place, the wounds inflicted
by the animal are hideous, but the most hot
rib'e circumstance in this disaster, is, that
i:vera! uf the wounded have already died
of hydrophobia, so that the whole popula
lion is in the uttermost consternation.

At tome ol our Whig friends proless to
Ignorant of Gen Pierce' services io Con
grew, wa shall refer to tome of them.
. During hit career in Congrats, he was
rather working member than a noisy de
bater.
It wai in 1833 that Gen. Pierce went in
to Congress. It wai at this time that the
United Statet Bank wai agitating the coun
try, and endeavoring to perpetuate its mon
opoly. He stood beside Old Hickory
against the Dank, and proved himself an
able defender ol the administration.
Gen. Pierce served in the United Statet
Senate, from 1837 to 1842, and wai a zeal
oui supporter of all the Democratic mea
surei. When the independent treasury
bill came up hii voice wan raited in favor
of the bill.
In 1840, he made an able speech on (he
aubject of revolutionary claimi, which was
pronounced : masterly analysis." On the
Florida war, he alio made a speech which
wai an able ; modest, and dignified vindi
cation of the administration.
He made a speech on the subject ol re
movals from office and on the abolition
question. In 1849 he wai nominated for
Governer of New Hampshire but declined
the honor in an eloquent speech.
In 1850 he was President of the conven
tion to revise the Constitution of New Hamp
shire.
It will hardly do after reading these facts,
to lay that Gen. Pierce is no greater States
man than Gen. Scott.
ANOTHER STEAMBOAT VtSASTER.
The Reindeer one of the most splendid
iteameri on the Hudson river, on the 6th
Inst., bunted her it earn pipe on her trip
from New York and Albany. The escape
of iteam dreadfully acalded a number of
passengeri and others, in the lower cabin,
at dinner. The number of deaths from the
explosion thui far amounti to thirty-two.
Some lis or eight more are badly acalded.
These accidenti are becoming ai common
on the North river ai on the Mississippi,
and are already driving many on to the
rail roads. The passengeri on the Hudson
river road have been nearly doubled since
the late accidenti. .

THE LAKE SHORE RAIL ROAD.
The Philadelphia Bulletin says the Lake
Shore road is now vigorously prosecuted by
the New Yorken. The charter wai ob
tained by a trick of legislation, and is worth
a million of dollars. An injunction wai
asked for at the late session ol the Supreme
Court in thii place, but wai not sustained
ai the proper party did not apply. The
commonwealth should apply for the injunc
tion. But Judge Campbell, the Attorney
General, by whom all legal actions for the
State are brought, is retained as Counsel,
by the opposite parties. Governer Bigler's
Attorney General, is certainly destined to
distinguish himself. To secure privileges
worth a million of dollars, they can afford to
pay large fees.

GREAT MEETING nT NEW YORK.
An immense mass meeting was held nt
New York on the 2d ol Sept. inst. Gen.
Cass was present and led off in an ahle
speech in favor of Pierce and King. The
weather was warm and the General was
obliged to take off his coat and cravat.
Gen. Cass was followed by Judge Douglass,
Hon. John L. Dawson, Hon. Robert Ale
Lane and Gen. Cameron. We find the
speeches reported in lull in the New York
Evening Post. The speech of Gen. Cam

RAIL ROAD MEETING.
Daniel L. Miller Esq., President of the
Sunbury and Erie Rail Road having arrived
at this place on Friday evening last, a
meeting wai hastily called together at the
Court house, which was addressed by Mr.
Miller. He stated that the prospects ol
the road were brighter than ever, that he
had been along the whole line from Erie
to this place. That so far from despairing,
there was an absolute certainty of the road
being completed in less than four years.
The City of Erie had agreed to raise their
subscription from $300,000 to $500,000.
Warren county had agreed to increase 'its
subsdribtion 9100,000, and Elk county
$100,000, making in all Two millions six
hundred thousand dollars. These increased
subscriptions were made on condition that
the city ol Philadelphia would subscribe
one million, of which Mr. Miller says
there can be no doubt. Mr. Miller stated
that the whole line between this place and
Williamsport would be put under contract
before next spring.
A meeting was also held at the Town
Hall in Northumberland, in the alternoon
ol the same day. The meeting was addres
sed by Mr. Miller, at the conclusion of
which, a resolution was proposed, recom-
ending a subscription of $25000 by the
Borough.
KIMDER CLEAVER, ESQ.,
Has been appointed principal Engineer
on the Philadelphia and Sunbury Rail Road,
under the new organization of the compa
ny. This is not only an excellent ap
pointment, but a well merited compliment
to Mr. Cleaver. In 1834 Mr. Cleaver,
then quite a young man, made his first ap
pearance in an Engineer corps, as an axe
man, on this identical road, then known as
the Danville and Potlsville rail road.
Since then, aided only by his own energies,
industry and good character, he has risen
step by step until he now ranks as one of
our best engineers, and what is a singular
coincidence, is destined, as chief engineer,
to complete the work he first tried his
"prentice hand" upon, as axe man, eigh
teen years ago. Mr. Cleaver has been en
gaged on the Susquehanna Rail Road since
its organization, but will take charge of his
new appointment in a few days.

New York, Sept. 3, 1852.
The Democrats have had a grand recep
tion, at Tamany Hall, of General Cuss, and
the distinguished gentlemen who accompa
nied him to New York. The Democratio
Union Club met him a'. Amboy, and escorted
him to the city, w here magnificent quarters
had been provided for him, and his friends,
by the officers and members of the Club,
whose guest he was while sojourning in
Golham. In the evening Gen. Cass addres
sed an immense concourse of men at Tama
ny Hall ; the heat being most intense
indeed that of an oven or a steamboat boiler.
Dante, if he had ever expeiionced such a
temperature, could have added a new canto
to his Inferno ; but General Cass contented
himself with taking off his coat and cravat
feeling that among his friends he hud no oc
casion for ceiemony. There are vulgar men
whom no external propriety can elevate into
gentlemen ; and men of substance and char
acter, whose transic qualities as gentlemen
cannot suffer by an unintentional departure
from a mere form. Gen. Cass spoke in elo
quent terms of the duties of American citi
zens; of the meaning and spirit of Democra
cy in modern times, and drew a striking pic
ture of the condition of the people here and
in Europe. He nbslained entirely fiotn the
abuse of Gen. Scott and the friends of Gen.
Scott, and contented himself by urging the
civic qualities and high chaiaeter of Gen.
Pierce. The applause with which his re-

calm and quiet.
ITJ" We are requested to lay that the
"Chippewa Glee Club" of Philadelphia
will visit Sunbury on Monday afternoon,
Sept. 13th. This Club is, no doubt, well
posted in whig songs, and is capable of en-
tertaining our citizens with a fair specimen
of whig music.
K7" The Junction Canal The stock
lor the canal, connecting the North Branch
Canal at the State line, with the Chemung
Canal at Elmira, has all been subscribed,
and will be finished at the same time with
the North Branch Canal. Some of our
Wilkesbarre friends have subscribed very
liberally. Judge Hollenback is put down
for $100,000.
Blackberries. Our friend Major
reai, of the Germantown Telegraph, who
is excellent authority on all matters apper
taining to agriculture and gardening, says
e has not been able to cultivate the black'
erry with success. In this place black'
berries of a large size and excellent flavor,
have been, for a number of years, cultivated
n our gardens with little or no effort, a
few stalks yielding an abundance for an or
dinary family.
Resigned. Robert M. Magraw the
President of the Baltimore and Susquehan

an able and influential officer, and will not
long remain idle.
tCF" The Erie Gazette and the Chroni
cle speak encouragingly of the prospects
of the Sunbury and Erie Rail Road. The
city and the county of Erie have now sub
scribed eight hundred thousand dollars to
this great work. If Philadelphia was to
subscribe as much in proportion to her
wealth and population, her subscription
would amount to more than forty millions
of dollars. And yet Philadelphia is more
deeply interested in the completion of this
road than Erie or any other place.

MOST FEARFl'L POSITION.
On Saturday says the Rochester American,
one of our citizen was on a visit to Canada,
and about the time the storm of that evening
was coming on, started in a carriage to re
turn to the American side. When about
midway of the "suspension bridge" over
Niagara Falls, the storm struck them with
appalling fury. The wind blew a perfect
tornado, while the air was densely filed wilh
driven hail and rain ; and so potent was the
wind, that the bridge swayed literally to and.
fro ten or a dozen feet, making one giddy
wilh its vibrations. So appalling was the
commotion, that the horses stopped, and final
ly fell upon their sides on the bridge, while
the driver, in the extremity of bis terror,
seemed incapable of making the least effort
to move from the perilous spot. The in
mates of ihe carriage could with difficulty
keep their seats, and for a short time expect
ed nothing else than to be precipitated into
the surging water below. A situation like
this is too appalling for description, and we
must leave it to the imagination to picture
what the sensations ol those in the carriage
were during this frightful commotion of the
warring elements.

At the close of his Rpoech, Gen. Cas drove
home, entirely drenched with perspirpiralion,
but recovered sufficiently afterwards to con
tinue his journey to Bulfalo early this morn
ing. After Gen. Cass, Judge Douglass, the
Hon. John L Dawson, of Pennsylvania, Hon.
Robert iUcLane, of Baltimore, and Gen. Si
mon Cameron, of Pennsylvania, addressed
the meeting, each in very npproprialo lan
guage, all abstaining from censure of Gen.
Scott and his Whig friends ; yet all of them
urging, in the strongest terms, the election
of Fierce and King. Judge Douglas nud Mr.
Dawson were very happy in their remarks,
and Mr. McLana and Geir Cameron were
both argumentative and forcible. The com
parison between Ihe wealth of New York
and that of Pensyl vania, introduced inlo the
remarks of Ihe latter gentleman, struck me
as quite to the point, and did as much cred
it to his practical good sense as the reflective
and historical views of Mr. Dawson evinced
the talent of a statesman. There was no
ai captendum argument in any of the speech
es delivered on this occasion ; no abuse of
the opposite candidates ; and a tone and
style of oratory altogether above the mark
usually reached by public orators during a
Presidential canvas. This shows not only a
higher degree of elevation on the pnit of the
speakers, but also a dtcent regaid fur the
good sense and respectability of their audi
ence. May such examples be imitated in
other quarters, and prove the haibinger of
better days, when politicians will cease to
be considered as scavengers, and every can
