A terrible accident happened to one of the

and between twenty an thirty wouuded, some
of them dangerously.

Received this afternoon, by wny of Tehauo

the sailing of the steamer, thut Geueral Mi
rainon had left Orizaba very privately for the
city of Mexico. His departure had caused
much surmiso in Vera Cruz, aud it is confi
dently slated that his departure or Sight was
not very creditable to himself. It is under

in Vera Cruz.

The Deseret Valley Tan, of the 15th March
contains the following news of interest :
The Lleseret News is filled with a lot of
hieroglyphics, which is styled the Deseret al
phabet. It seems to be a vocabulary in which
the Mormons alone are to be tancbt.
The Valley Tan thinks thut between four
and nve thousand persons will leave thut ter.
ritory for the States and California, all of
them apostates from thu Mormon Church, iu
a few mouths.
Prior to the 22d of February, it had been
storming for three weeks. It wrs the seve

now storms in the neighborhood of the South

A rumor of a collision between troons ita
tinned at I'rovo and Mormon citizens, pre
vuiled at Salt Lake City on the 15th. The
troops were stationed there by order of Judge
Oadalbaugb, during the session of bis Court.
The Mormons petitioned the Gevernor on
the subject, and be went to Provo to exam
ine into it. It was supposed hat the Court
would adjourn on the 15tb and that nothing
would be done except to try two Indians, the
Church hierarchy that controls this people
overreaching the jurisdiction of the United
States Courts. Judge Cradelbangh thus ex
plains this mutter in bis charge to the Grand
'Some United States troops are here.-
Perhaps it i an enusual thing for them to
be here. I knew that there were those who
wero guilty, out of the camp, and also that
there were many guilty around here of nu
merous offences. I was informed that there
was no prison here, and those, troops were
sent by the commanding goneral, ut my re
quest, to take rare of the prisoners uow in
custody, aud not to interfere with any one.
They are here to take care of and preserve
the peace. If prisoners are brought tbey will
be taken care or, and the whole authority or
the troops is to detain thosi persons in cus
tody t'rnt may be taken prisoners until they
re called for by the Court, aud tbey have no
power beyond that."
Tbe Judge, in his charge to the Grand Ju

made to destroy the Court anil its usefulness,

Advertisement next week,
tifir We are informed by a number or our
farmer friends from various parts of the coun
ty, that the growing crops of grain are in a
very promising condition. Iu a few exposed
situations the grain field hav been slightly
damaged, but, as a general thing, tbe grain is
growing luxuriantly, and is thickly and firmly
rooted. Our exchanges from other parta of
the State give the same cheering report. It
is now pretty clearly ascertained that unless
something unforeseen should occur, there will
he an abuudunt harvest. Tbe fruit crop i.
equully promising. The raw chilly weather,
of the lust week or two. bus not materially
damaged the blossoms, and if nothing more
serious occurs, a good yield may be expected.

Ntw York, April 26lb, 1859.
New York it now full of strangers, mer
chant! and others, torn making purchases,
some lavoitmenti, and others after specula
tions. There is no denying that New York
is the great Emporium of this country, Dot
otfly in commerce, but in wealth and enter
prise of all kinds. Her commerce whitens
every sea, and vessels are constantly arriving
from almost every part in tho world. As
native Pennsylvanian, I feel in common with
other citizens of the Keystone State, e native
pride of the great wealth? and natural re
sources of our State, but, no one who spends
any time in New York, cun shut bis ey- e to
tho fact that the Empire City is end will
continue the great centre of the Western
world. I have before, on several occasions,
referred to the grand and liberal scale in
which every thing is conducted in this city.
In commerce, building ships, railroads, or
any other movemeuls requiring enterprise or
wealth. In Philadelphia, and other cities
we find blockIir rows of Gne'bouses but in
New York you find whole streets end blocks
of brown stone palaces. Indeed yon see
comparatively little of New York, ns it is
until you get above Fourteenth street, which,
thirty years ago, was near the outskirts of
the city.
The iSiiklcs case, which is now nearly
closed, bus been here, as well as elsewhere, a
subject of general conversation. Everybody
seems to think thut Mr Sickles will be at
quitted, yet lew uie'wllling to think that be
iB entirely guiltless of the charge of murder.
The truth is, people will reconcile the ver
dict with the fact thut whatever the offeuco
may be iu law, Mr. Key, they conclude de
served no better fate. The address of Mr
Stanton, of Pennsylvania, is, I think, the
most eloquent anduble forensic effort made
in the triul. Mr. Stanton is an able lawyer
and first came into notice a few years since
in bis argument iu the Wheeling.bridge case.
James T. Brady, of New York, is ranked
among tho nblest of the New York lawyersi
but 1 do not think this triul has added much
to his reputation. Perhaps Mr. Carlisle, of
Washington, bus made more character by it
than any other of Ihe legul fraternity.
The national politics here is not in much
belter condition than in Pennsylvania. In
the address which the Democratic members
of the New York Legislature issued, accor
ding to usage, at the close or the session, no
mention whatever is made or Mr. Buchanan.
The omission is a suggestive end awkward
one. That tho President had some friends
among the Democratic members there is no
doubt; bufcoirimendatioiisof him would have
given rise to dissensions, and was, therefore,
suppressed.
Feeling, howover, that some reason should
be given for the silence of the document on
national topics, the Albany Atlas and Argus
says it was "because the Republicans had, in
the most cewurdly munner, abandoned all
their avowed principles of national policy."
That is to say, the Republicans having proved
themselves cowards, the Democrats imitated
their example. The explanation ouly makes
the matter worse. The f.ict cannot bo con
cealvd that the Democracy, of the State re
fuse to touch Mr. Buchanan.
New York docB ;not stand alone. In al.
moBt every State Mr. Buchanan has either
lost or split" his party. He has satisfied
neither the North nor the South. The former
bo has alienated by his effort to extend the
area of the Hluve power, and the latter by
the way in which he did it. His bungling
friends feel that silence is tho greutest grace
they can accord him.
Tbe newspapers to-day are filled with im
portant news from Europe. Some oT the
English journals predict that iu u short time
one or the greatext wars of modern times
will prevail throughout Europe. Already
six hundred thousand men ere under arms.
The present Emperor of the French will
never rest satisfied nntil he bus accomplished
something similar to the grand campaigns of
his uncle, tbe g re tit Napoleon.
ty The steamship Tennessee arrived at New
Orleans on tho SClh inst. with very important
news from Mexico. Miramon had succeeded in
renching the city of Mexico, although be lost
many men in doing so. The victorious general
had already cnnilnencrd tho work of saugliter

ing a crifcl. The UritUh miniater had insisted
on the full puvinent of all the claims of bis
countrymen, and had instructed the commander
of the Knglixh llet t at Vera Cruz to demand one
and a half millions of dollars from tho custom
bouse in that city, and, in case of refusal, to
bombard the city. Juarez had withdrawn the
exequatur of the Spanuh consul at Vera Cruz

KW Smoking). A cotemporary thinks there
ought to be au edict issued against smoking
by brats under age. That some iuflueuce,
legal or otherwise, should be exerted towards
tbe attainment of such a deairuble improve
ment will be conceded by all. "Young
America" is but little more thau a collection
of tallow, cadaverous looking boys, who
smoke away their appetites and what little
brains tbey niay have, and grow up miserable
snobs, dispised by men, and objects of disgust
to women.

As nrual, in the Spring, of tho year, a howl
of lamentation is set up by a set of specula
tors that the crops nre expected to be total
failares, and consequently rise in the price
of produce is expected. We copy the follow
ing from our exchanges in the West and
Snnth :
Thk Fri-it The apprehensions of a total,
or even a general, destruction of the young
Iruit by the cold w Father of tbe last fortnight,
are, we are glud tc dtule not well founded. A
short trip to the country bus satisfied us that,
up to this time, the young fruit liui been only
partially injured. Three fourths of the
peaches were killed by the first cold snap,
but thu frost that destroyed tbe peaches,
gave the apples, cherries, plums and pears a
"set buck," which saved them. In exposed
localities, the peaches were entirely killed,
but in many portions of Illinois, conveniently
situated to the St. Louis market, the dumage
was only partial. St. Louis Intel.
Tub Wheat Cnor. The Frederick Md j
llearald says :
"Tbe wheat crop throughout the country
is encouraging in the extreme. It is finer in
fact, thun it has been for years. A few days
oi;o we took a drive through portions of
Frederick aud Montgomery counties, in this
State, and London evuuty, Va. We find it
the same everywhere the grain looking
healthy und vigorous nnd so fur advanced as
to bo almost sure of escaping at leutt two of
its deadly enemies the fiy and rust."
Southern CRor Pbosi-fxts. The editor or
the Nashville JVeuv states, from personal ob
servution during a lata trip into the ccuntry,
und from information derived from the local
news papers, as well as from reliable personal
acquaintances with whom he has conversed,
that tbe growing w heat crop or Tennessee is
quite promissing or an ample yield, but that
the breadth of land sowed in that cereal is
not one-third as great us it has been in any
one oT the last three or Tour years.
CST The editor of the Warren (Pa) Lidger
a Democratic paper of great influence, give
a graphic account of the kind of men wh0
acted as delegates from that, region in the
Convention of the lGtb of March, in the fol
lowing extract :
"Jf we may jui'ge the balance of the State
by this section, we have no hesitation iu de
claring thut tbe delegates mi's represented
the people. We will commence with this
Senatorial district. Charles Lyman acted as
the delegate. Mr. L. is the mail agent on
the Corning and Blossburg Railroad, und has
resided ut Coming, iu the State of New York
fur five years past. He nevor was chnseu
Seuatoriul delegate by the Democrats of this
district, eud living in New York he did not
'represent the people.'
"Murray W ballon appeared as a delegate
from Erin county. Mr. W. is a Government
official bus not resided in Erie county for
some, time bo was not chosen a delegate,
neither was he substituted by auy oim who
wus chosen. The people of Erie county wero
imuuimnusly in I'uvor of t'uu Sunbury and
Erie bill, yet Mr. W. voted to censure Gov
ernor Packer because he was favorable to
thut bill. Did Mr. Whulloo represent the
people? Mr. W, wis thn mun who was
'weak ill the knees,' in lb5G, and it was an
nounced that he bud 'come out' for Fremont.
"Again, the people of Elk county are as a
unit in fuvor of the Sunbury aud Erie their
interests and future prosperity are intimately
connected with the success oT that road ; yet
James L. Gillis appeared as a delegate from
Kik county and voted against Gov. Packer.
Did he represent the people? No! e did
not expect be woild, for be never did; and
it was because of this faculty of bis, of always
acting adverse to tho wishes of bis constitu
ents, that they repudiated him last fall. He
seems now to be actuated solely by a spirit
of revenge. He is now determined to do all
be can to retard the prosperity ef 'the peo
ple.1 Luckily, be is shorn of all power and
his career for doing hurm is nearly euded. If
there ever was a chfh of a person 'coming
out of the little end of the horn.' Jim Gillis
is the cbup.
"Now. we will give a couple of instance
where delegates were regulurly chosen :
"Judge Ives, of Potter county, waB selected
us a delegate by the Democrats or that eoun
ty. He went to Harrishurg and voted to
sustain Governor Pucker. Rasselas Brown,
Esq , was the regularly chosen delegate from
tins county. He voted to sustain Governor
l'ajker. and he fully 'represented the people.'
Neither Jude Ives nor Mr. Brown are Gov
ernment officials consequently, they were
not obliged to misrepresent 'the people,' as
did Lyman, W ballon and Gillis."
We find the following iu the Boston
Post. Tbe Yankees do not feel much dis
turbed by this analysis of their (Southern
brelhern, and doubtless think they are much
more skillful a wool grower than chemists :

Thk Drolokt in tiir Tropics. The dry
season iu the tropic the present year, bus
been one of unusuul severity. Never before
have the rivers beeu known to be so low, und
the effect upou tho crops, coming, as it does,
after unusually heavy rains in the wet sea
son, has beeu in many places disastrous.
Aud it is curious that tbe drought has been
more severe as you approach tbe southern
most line. In thu Inland of Porto Rico, the
co flue and tobacco crops will be very light,
while in the Southern Statesof the neighbor
ing republic or Mexico, the same complaints
are made. It remain now to be seer, what
effect this irregularity el'the seasons will have
upon the health of these countries.
Died in a Spasm We stated in our last
issue that four children of Mr. Jones, a citi
zen of our town, were yesterday bitten by a
dog belonging to tho family, and that the an
imal is supposed, by some persons, to bo in u
rabid condition. In confirmation of this sup
position, it is now said that the dog subse
quuntly died iu a spasm. One or two of the
children were very severely bitten, and their
Condition is truely pitiable. A child or an
other family io the neighborhood was also
bitten on the cheek, by the nine dog. The
parents are iu great distress, and the sympa
thy or the entire community bad been aroused
iu behulf of them and their little ones. Agniu
we say ir the owner or dog will not keep

Anotiir Leak im tub Triiscrt. On tbe

on the Indian Appropriation Bill an atneud

of returning some children to their friend iu
Arkansas, wbe had been captured by Indiaus
and subsequently Tescued end are now iu

appropriation, a brotber-in-law of Senator
Johnson, and another person, a particular
Iriend of Mr. Denver, then Superintendent of
Indian affairs, were appointed to return th

considerable number of tbese Counterfeit
have been pat in circulation, and tbey are
produced with comparatively so little trouble,
that the process bids fair to become favor
Ite one with counterfeiters. Although phot
ographs invariably have an unfinished, blurred
appearancn, and are rarely, if aver, of the
deep black color which characterize tbe
genuine note, still they are apt to deceive an
unpracticed eye. Those persons who are nn
ablo to detect them by their appearance
should always have at hand a few pieces of
cyanide or potassium, which may be purchas
ed at a trifling cost of any druggist, and can
be kept in a small wide mouthed bottle. If a
bill is snsprcted, wet slightly any printed
portion of it, and tonch it with a piece of the
