On Wedueeday evening, as the passenger traiu from Willinmsport was entering Nor thumberland, at a tlow f-ocJ, tl o coal train from tho Philadelphia V Sunliury road came sweeping through the bridge ul a rapid rute. Tho engineer cn the paescnger train immedi ately reversed his engine, and had already commenced backing, when the engine of ti e coal train struck that of the potbenger train with sulTicient force to throw the front truck of the farmer o(T the truck, breaking the cow catcher and bumper of loth cugines. For tunately, tho pusscugcrd escaped with nothing more than a sudden t-hock, and were only saved from tho cOvets of s terrible smnsb, by the timely caution of tho engineer of tho passenger train. The evening train from Wilitai.isport is due at Northumberland at 7 J o'clock, P. M., and tbo engineer says he wns tevcral minutes within .hiii own time, when tho collisioti took place. The conduct of the conductor of the coal traiu was not only . reckless and cul- pable, but deserves tho severest centturo for runuing upon tho lime of tho passenger train, aud attempting to reach the switch abovo tho town, when he kuew the passenger train was approaching. Tho rules und regulations of the load re strict the traiaj to a tpeed not exceeding 5 tnilea per hour thrown Northumboilaod, and what mules it more reprehensible, s similar occurrence, from the same causa, was barely prevented, a few evenings previous, a few miles further np the road.

A correspondent of tbo Philadelphia Cul. letin writing from Prairiodu Chicn, (Wiscon sin,) thus alludes to the fever of speculation In the west i Everybody speonkles-everybody buys snd tells laud everybody lends or borrows men fry everybody is either a millionaiie, or about to be, in bis own opinion. Labor is high, aud so is everything else, snd the wholo course of business runs in tho highest kiud of a tide. People buy a tract of land for, say 21 OUO ; lay it out into a town, and in a few weeks or months sell one twenty-fifth for the same prices as they paid for tho entiro tract. Therefore, that town is considered worm twenly-fivo thousand dollars, although there may not be a liouso in it, snd the owners spread themselves accordingly. Now, if the otoreFnid town happens to bo on the river, or a main road, or to have peculiar advantages nf soil, Ac., it really does Gil up, and betomo what its proprietors expert. There ore many such towns. But if it is uuuhere, (i. c. utterly uninhabited, and uot even luid out on the soil.) or is ou tbo road to nowhere, then it subsides in a short tiuie, und the proprie tor or proprietors pick their fiiuts and try something else. There aro vast numbers of emigrants arriving here, and you can easily sco that if twer.ty or thirty families settle together, the place becomes "a town" imme diately. Well, these towos aro laid out iu every conceivable direction, J net a fast as tho conveyancers can get up the maps, or the engineers cun survey tlie ground. Now con sider nine-tenths ol' the business population of a city of about 13,000 people, cilher di rectly or indirectly engaged in the real estate business, each individual soul of whom imag ines hium If making money by cartloads, aud rushing into uew truuuclions just as fat-t as tliey can borrow thu money ut tho rate of from two to five per cent, a month, and then you have the city or fcfuint Paul, Capital or tho Territory of Minni sntu, in the United States of America, iu tho year 1S."". Our ttay was short, but owing to the fact that wc louud ourseir known to quitu num ber or Peuusylvaiiiuiia who know and handle "the ropes" in this graced game of "heads I win, tails ou lose," it was but a short time befi.ro we were so thoroughly posted as .to have numerous "brilliant offers of lots und sitea, and also to have a fair taste o( tho way things ore carried on. There is no ato elab orating this sketch. Tho same head over heel spirit which shows itself in regard to real estate, spreads into transactions of all kinds, until, we believe, every body, from the white-washer to the cashiers or the numerous banks at the street corners, i a "speculator" to a greati r or less extent. There will Lo a rmush some day, as every body has been snpiently crouking'lbr two or three years, but it wjl not do any muteriul dnnuigu to St. Paul or to the territory. Aud we will ull yon hy.

Next : they have a most spleudid agricultural country to full back on nhen this mania ceases. They have soil somewhat resembling that or our own Slate, aud better litnber (though nothing to brxg of) than any State North or Wi st i.f Indiana, and next, their populntiou is or a wry good cIiibs. First come the poorer emigrnnU who are mostly Cermuns, Norwegians, and some families from the wisttrn States who are agricultural. Then comes the New York "d. legation," larger than from tiny other Stato ; second, I'rnnsyluania ; third, the New F.ngland States, and fourth, Western and Southern peoph-. Very many of these are "solid men" who hare' been led off by the ull -pervading laud insanity, but who will allow their "grit" when the sinauli comes. "Sixth ly end lastly," they have plenty of minerals in M innetota w hich have not yet been worked to nnv gri at extent. "Thirdly," (to continue the I)igbcrrivn calender) they have not a tinge or trace of that nover-ht.Bjcieiitly-to-be-hated and accursed slavery to blight or blast their fair soil, uud to eat the life und soul and energy out of tho people Kieutally, morally and physically.

THE Sir n EM R COCRT AND THE SALE OF THR MAIN LIKE-, The Supreme Court testerday (rave an opinion open the' application of Mr. Melt, the Canal Commissioner, to restrain the Pennsylvania Railroad from becoming a pur chaser of tho main lino of gtate works, the Legislature having passed an set aotlmrising the railroad company to boy, and relieving that company from the tonnage and State tax. The Court pass by all the side issues raised in this cane, and come down at once to the constitutionality oT the net of the Legis lature. In eflect, the Court decide, snd, we learn, unanimously, that tbo Legislature bns tho power to authorize a solo ; but that it has no authority to extinguish forever, by bargain and sale, the power to raiso revenue for the support of the government! The re venues of the government are the meens by which it 8U9tins itself, and the Legislature has no right to deprive it of tbo use of these means for any purpose. They arc nn essen tiul part of thu sovereignity of the State and cannot be contracted sway. The Court further arguo that to sell to ono class of citizens an exemption from all taxes, and thus to throw all the public bur den upon thu other for all time to come is imposing a tax upon tlie latter without tho consent of their representatives, and is such a plain violation of the rights of tho citizens that the Court are bound to pronounce the act null and void. The Legislature, according to this opinion, may repeal thu toiiuajc t ix that is within its discretion ; but it canuot put the resources of the Stato M our the reach or future reprrsnii tatives. The Court cite numberless decisions confirming this uritiriples, which is founded on such strong reasons of public policy that it seems singular thut any Legislature should attempt, iu the face of them, to render the tiovernmcnt powerless, or assume that may bind the action of subsequent Legislatures by suirenderiug a right 89 clearly belonging to those who succeed as to Itself. An injunction is granted to prevent the Peiiusylvania railroad from making any bids at tbo salo uuder the provision granting the exemption ; tiut in other respects, the net being oue wituiu tho constitutional authority of the Lcgitdalarp. the Pennsylvania railroad may be a purchaser the same as any other bidder.

The Treasurer, Mr. Oibroo, bad ro signed, and A. P, Stone had been appointed ia his place. The Journal says : "The inter est upon the Stato debt, which falls due on tne lat of July, hud to be provided for, and the Slate Auditor, Mr. Wright, had an inter view ou Wednesday with Mr. (Jibsou in rela tion to it. Then it was that Mr. Gibson first disclosed tho existence of the deficit in tho 1 rcBBiiry. Mr. Gibson staled to Mr. Witght, thut when he came into office be found Mr. Breslin, bis predecessor in the Trcasory Office, to bo a large defaulter, nnd that he was induced, by representations made to him Vy Breslin to the effect that, if nothing was said in regard to the default, and If time wns given him, tho whole deficit would bo mode up, and the Statu would not lose anything by bis operations with the Stute funds In an evil hour. Mr. Gibson agreed lo the pro position mudu to him by Mr. Breslin, and from that time unt.il the present he bad been shouldering thi vait load of debt. The whole amount of deficit in the Treasury, ex clusive of tho sum of $225,819 30, long since made public, at the time Mr. Gibson entered upon his duties, was about f50,000. Mr. Gibson further stated thut not ono dollar of the public funds had been taken by him, or used illegally by him since ho had been in office, nnd that the entire default wns the work of Mr. Breslin.

There were iu ono portion of the dis trict some six or seven free negro voters, nil of whom cast their suffrages for General Brcckenridge ; and thus, it may be saidwilli truth, that Iho slaves of Kentucky ot the present day owe their bondage to their own people. Fur it is well known that Mr. Clay, who ran against Gen. Breckinridge, was lit that time an emancipationist, and that the contest was conducted on this isne.
