If this should be continued it vi!l soon

llint this is about as great nn imposition

The KxcoUior Coal Mining Co., havo

At the Cameron Colliery a largo double

will increase the capacity of tho colliery to

A Illow nt the B'ree Trnderm
Jlon. Washington Townscud, member
of Collars from the Seventh (Pa.) district,
concluded .1 sp-iooh in tho II ius3 a few days
since as follows :
"If manufacturing ho stish h profitable
busin?si why d. five traders not enter Into
competition with those bloated capitalists,
and reap a portu;n oflheircnormous profits?
"It cannot bo that they are more virtuous,
self-sacrificing and patriotic than tho
manufacturer, for busint-KS men sjck their
own protlt without much care ns to the ef
fect on tho country. Capital u'ways seeks
profitable employment, and if those cla
morers for free trade believed that they
could mako more money in manufacturing
than they can in their chosen occupations,
lheyvould soon transfer their capital to
belter kinds of business. They don't be
lieve their own allegations. This clamor for
free trade or low duties does not come from
the farmer, for he knows that his best mar
ket is at home ami that he can get the high
est price for his products when he has a
manufacturer near him to consume his
supplies.
It does not come from tho mechanic or
nrtisan, for he is well aware that ho cannot
compete with the low wages and cheaf capi
tal of foreign countries. It does come how
ever, from the manufacturing interests of
the great commercial cities, from the foreign
houses and their agents here, who know
that the more unrestricted foreign com
mercc is the greater will be their protit.
The men of Pennsyvania are charged with
legislating for their mere sectional interest,
and aiamst the interests ol the people.
They deny the allegation, and turn to the
records of Congress to show that they take
a Wider view ofuatioual interests aud of
their duties to the nation, b
"They have given their support to the
grent West in pushing forward its vast lines
of railroads and other internal improve
ments. They nid in forcing the wool, hemp
andiron interests of Kentucky, Missouri,
Tennessee and elsewhere, as fully as their
own. They extend a helping h-ind to tho
encouragement and protection oftbecottou
and 6ii:ar business of the Souih aud South
west aud the woolen and cotton manu
fiicturires of New England. The great
principle upon which they base themselves
is that tho nation's industry must be de
fended by national legislation against the
encroachments of foreign policies.
"They hold the doctrine that the alle
giance of the citizen and his protection by
the government are reciprocal duties that
tho men of the nation who pay taxes for
the support of the government and to aid iu
the liquidati n of tho national debt and
who, with stion arun an 1 stout hearts,
defend tli3 country aiinst in vision or
rebellion, arc entitled to the greatest bene
fits that cm bj conferro 1 by national legis
lation;tbat itis the duty of the government
Lo afford tho peoplo of tho country, the
opportunity of doing tho work of the coun
t ry with a prospect of reaping for such labor
lis iist reward.
They hold that, while a single man who
wishes to work is deprived of that op.
portunitv by the Government legiclatiugto
give preference to tho foreign laborer tho
Government has failed to do its duty to
citizens. They hold that free trade means
America competing with ill paid foreigners;
Ui.u it means uncertain cmnlovment, low
wages and seant comforts for the workman
and his family; that it means enforced ser
vice ot women and children in men s em
ployment, lack of education, menial ami
physical degradation and an absence of all
the ennobling Impulses that mako the la
borer a good and valuable member of
society.
"On tho other hand, they hold that pro
tection means steady employment for the
laborer, artisan and mechanic nt good
wages; that it means comfortable homes,
wclVuiT.Hhed tables, schools aud education
for children, Ivc.;uiiih, readiuz rooms and
churches, and the dill'usion of such intelli
gence among the masses as will constitute
an eulighteued, iirosncrous, contented am
happy peoplo. They know that it will keep
in wholesome activity tho furnaces, forges,
rolling mills and manufactories ofthena
tion. and establish on the Hudson and Pela
ware ship-yards that will furnish vessels
that will carry all tue commerce ol in
Union.
"Such are tl e views and principles of th
repreentives of Pennsylvania. And the
policy they endeavor to establish on sure
foundation will eventually be tho sett!
policy of tho government, which, while inur

Iw the Senate at Harrisburg, on Thurs
day, Col. II. W. Groy, the new member
from the Fourth District, was sworn in and
took bis seat. Colonel McCluro took his
first move towards contesting the seat by

THE BUFFALO KXPKICS9 TRAIT OOiSO
OVKll A FORTY FOOT EMBANKMENT. ,
. MAITCII ClipN, Feb. 2.'.
Another railroad cotastrophe has to bo
added to the great number already chroni
cled during the late severe weather. But
whilo many, already repprted havo been
confined to broken bones,- the destruction
of rolling stock, of tracks aud parapherna
lia in general with now and again an ex
ploded locomotive and the burning of trains
of cars tho occurrence calling for tho pres
ent article la attended with considerable
loss of life and injuries to many persons,
from which, doubtless, Several will never
recover.
At a quarter to eight yesterday morning,
a train, known as the Buffalo express, left
Pittston, Pa., the destination of most of the
passengers being Philadelphia. The train
was composed of an engine, a baggage van,
smoking car, a Central railroad nnd a
Philadelphia car.
When about midway between Mud run
and Rockport, and slxt-four miles from
Easton, nt forty minutes past nine o'clock,
The Eniln'e Made a Nmldeu Leap,
tho foro wheels flew round, causing a hor
rible whirl, and the driver and fireman
were so severely shaken that they could
scarcely hold on to euablc them to stop the
locomotive. The levers were reversed and
tho steam shot off as speedily as possible,
and tho terror-stricken men were at once
convince' that a fearful accident had occur
led, llint the terrific leap of their great
foaming iron horse bad saved them from
tho horrible fate allotted to many being
drawn by it. Lcnning over the side of tho
cosine,

mot tho driver's eye, the only support be
tween the road and Lchiuh river being a
hard llint embankment, almost perpendicu
lar in construction. The steep declivity
aud the running waters were nothing to
him, however, as ho had ridden trium
phantly over both many scores of times,
nnd would scarcely have engendered a
thrill of terror in his breast this timo but
for the fact that he saw the half of tho train
leap from tho track, and in an instaut
plunge os it were headlong
Dowu the Flinty Wttll Toward the
Utter
below. Ho 'saw tho central car, which
contained most of the passengers, with the
end of tho broken coupling su'iujng in
front of it, like a runaway horse with the
end of a bridle about its n.icks ; he saw the
c:trth fly up in a thousand directions be
neath its ponderous weight ; a low, rum
bling soaind caught his car, and tho car
riage, with its live freight, went tumbling
and crashing over tho "Mountain, as the
declivity is called. Tho next instant ho
leard tho
Mont Appalling Shrieks from thcln-
HIIIC
f the car, and heads and arms were thrust
out at tlx: windows, auu every tongue
seemed to be sending fourth accents of an
guish aud dismay. Woman nnd men and
seats, cushions aud debris were soon iu a
horrible heap ; but, to add to the horrors of
the situation, before any assistance could
bo rendered, smoke nnd flame were seen
emerging from one part of tho smashed up
chicle, anil it was learc;! that iiioso wiio
were not killed or injured by Hie fall and
the crusuing of tho timbers, would be burn
ed to death, ns the
Mote hud Net Fire to the Car.
The Philadelphia car followed the central
car, but it urn not lau so i.ir over ns to rest
ou the frozen river, the passengers, how
ever, being fearfuly bruised and wounded,
and exposed to the same fearful ntastro-
pho ol lieing consumed ry lire, whieli Had
takcu hold of the car from the stove, the
flames issuing fourth as in the other caivand
creating a, perfect panic among, those who
were not injured, lor tile moment.
The first thing to lie done was to ruli lo
the assistance of those iu tlio central car.
The engineer, tiremau, a conductor and
wo or three from the smoking car clamber
ed down the embankment, aud, amid the
screams ot the woman.
The tiroans of (he dying
nnd yells of those who were lying beneath
the debris in great agonv, barely out of the
aws of death these men set to work, nnd.
n ub jut fifteen minutes, weiv uble to s'un
up this result of this app tiling accident.
The Dea l rioii TnUi'u Out.
The first body drawn out from tho fore
part of tho car was a colored gentleman,
whose features wero almost destroyed, the
face and forehead being crushed up and
who was dressed in it black coat and strip
ed pants. Though warm ho was quite
dead. The feet of a colored woman were
next seen extending from U neulh a part of
the car Unit was still burning. In a few
seconds the broken charred limber was re
moved and the dead body of a full-grown
person was exposed. Near this body was
that of another colore d female, daughter of
the lirsl ineutioned.slighllv built and about
thirteen years of age. It was observed
that, in addition to the young girl, the col
ored woniau had also

when she entered the liain, and a search
was at once instituted tor it. llound ou the
opposite sido of the car from where they
wero standing, aud about eight leet on, the
little creature was found with its body
curled up crying out lustily for its dead
mother. v itn the exception oi two or
three bruises, occasioned by its full nnd
subsequent struggling ou the ice, the child
bad received no injuries of any moment.
While several of the crowd were engaged
tvith tho child
The Dead I1odfe ofTwo Iadleti
were diawn out, bokli well-dressed, and of
apparently respectable bittli, but greatly
disfigured about the head aud neck by Iho
severity of the wounds that had caused
their death.
All wero now in a state of great excite
ment, aud as the live dead bodies were
taken up nud stretched side by side on the
snow, each being soon soaked in the blood
that was flowing fiom the opcu gashes and
horrible bruises, a wild, indescribable pic
ture was presented. Those who were not
hurt were rushing hither aud thither iu the
F.udcavor to ltescue the Wounded
from the perilous positions in which many
ot them were placed, and m a short tune
about tweutv persons of both sexes, all
badly wounded, were extricated and assist
ed to the cars btill remaiuim; ou the metals
attached to llie engine. Nearly all the
latter havo broken linius, and it was evi
dent that several, from the nature of their
wounds, could uot long survive tho acct
dent.
The Conductor of the Truiu, Sv-
was dreadfuly cut, the left side of his head
being quite haltered, aud ins lace and hniidi
were bruised and bled profusely. In addi
tion to this he had several ribs broken, and
consequently was not in a condition to give
anv particulars concerning the dead passcu-
gers and where information should be sent
to their menus.
Arrival at Mauch CUuuk.
Assistance had bcen obtained by the timo
all tha dead aud wouuded were takcu up,
aud the train, or rather what remained of
it, was run to the nearest station. Mauch
Chunk being reached, the first thought was
to band all the wounded ovei to the charge

telligence of tlio accident soon sprend, and
a cro.vd gathered nr mid J tlio station ; but

It was not long nOer the removal of tho

SOlTIIi:. TEMPEU.
While wc have no doubt that there are
many loyal, patriotic men, both white and
black, iu the Southern 'stntes. savs the
Jlurrinbunj Tchgrnfih, it is quite as clear
to us that there also prevails there, among
a numerous class, a revengeful and traitor
ous sentiment, which only bides its time to
break out iu tiesl rebellion. Itis impos
sible to slate the relative strength of the
parties th?re respectively iu favor of and
opposed to the Union ; but it may bo con
sidered certain that all tho Soul hern Re
publicans, without distinction oi raco or
jolor, are loyal lo tho Union, patriotic, nnd
while it is equally ceriain that a very large
portion, a majority probe bly, of life Sou
thern Democracy are disloyal, unpatriotic,
and not only willing but anxious and burn
ing lo raise their arms nice more in rebel
lion ngaiusl tho Union, or to aid a foreign
powei to ciipple or crush it. We think
there can be no mistake about this, and
yet many even of our best and most trusted
Republicans in and out of Congress are ur
ging the policy of granting complete am
nesty to these dangerous enemies ol the
republic, by which they will be enabled
once more to push forward their boldest
and ablest men into the councils of the
Nation. . While we shall tiot absolutely
oppose this over generous (as it seems lo
us policy, we must expnss the opinion that
it seems lo us lo be somewhat premature
and while there aro such papers in the
South as tho Mobile Tribune, and readers
to support aud applaud it, we cannot resist
thj impression that lite scheme ot general
amnesty u also dangerous.
The following extract from the Mobile
Diiilil Tribune will nflord some idea of what
wouid bij the disposition of the great body
ot Hie boulheru while people, iu the cveul
ol'awar b.-tween the United Stale and
any foreign power. The editor of tho Tri
bune is a graduate of West Poinkt and an
ex-geiieral in tho Confederate service :
Jiut the niodisty ol our ecu nipornry
does not Htop here by a great deal. The
JLi a a hints iu no measured terms, that iu
the event ol any uim mtii arising in eonso'
qui nce of tho iuduJireiico of Presidential
rapacity iu that direction, Southern blood
aud valor may bo drawn upon to light it
out. j.ay not the flattering unction to your
soul tfiai in tuch ail enterprise any true
.Southern man will raise a linger to help.
A'trei; if we can hare aniitliina to mil in
the mutter) will a Southern sword be tlraicn

(xi'ii a ttinule one of it.i niitiomd rinlitit, soon
of, so lomj an ice know itn yorfrnment only
by tu hate, Hs cruelties and its oppressions,
e will obey the laws ; but until we are
invested wilh the" habiliments of peers, as
as men, and as States, peers ol the proudest
and most tuvorcd, our swords will remain
m their scabbards and our bayonets un
fixed. We know whereof we speak, and
oinmend lo the consideration of the Jler
hd and all who think with it, the follow
n g extract from Scripture, and with that,
ismiss the suhtect :
"Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this
broken reed, whereon, if a man lean, it will
go into his hand and pierce it."
these aro simply the "turbulent mut
terings of stilled treason." The nssump
tion of this cnemv of the Government, savi
ho Washington- Chronicle, ' is that the
Southern States and Southern men are not
the peers of Northern Slates aud Northern
men. This assumption is lal.c. The States
ai e equals. We nrc nil citizens of the Uni
ted Slates, it is this tact that disturbs and
rritales the Mobile li-ibuue. It is not that
others are really lussuiK-riors incitizenship,
but that every man is Ins peer, that rouses
Ins anger aiiauiKi tho nation. We apvre
bend this editor speaks for a majority of
the while people of the South. Tho reasous
he hives for this feeling nre only excuses
for its existence among tho people. They
have been taught by many of the samo lea
ders that involved them in rebellion, that
the National Government is unjust, and
crueHind oppressive toward ihe South, and
that Ihey are under no obligations to sup
port it or liL'lu tor it. AH tue evils of hu
Kluxism are to bo traced to these teocn-
nil's.
1 his Southern temper, which snows It
self iu the above extract, has been tolera
ted, if not encouraged by the Northern
Democracy. Ou the oilier hand, every
Rcpubhcau in Ihe South, wunte and color
ed, is supremely attached to the nation.
and would defend it against foreign enemies
with as much alacrity and ardor as Ihe Re
publicans of Maine of Massachusetts,
Texas is troubled by Mexican robbers.

F.xplonlon or Ua In the Mines.
SC'RANTON, Feb. C.
A torrlblo gal explosion took place at the
Henry mines, four miles bolow Pittston, at
seven o'clock this morning. The collieries
belong to the Luzerne coal and Iron com
pany. Three men were burned to drath

in laying a car track.
The explosion was caused bv oncnino- a

About one hour after the explosion, and
Dcioro tno body ot Morris could be got out.
a large quantity of rock fell, shutting off
the air to that part in which Atoms was,
and brattices had to bo put up in order to
change the current of air. This occupied
so much time that it was three o'clock be
fore Morris was taken out.
Mick Barrett, a driver, and who was a
short distance in advance of the rest of the
men, opened a door in the main canffwav

All Hie men killed leave families almost
entirely destitute. The mine stopped work
lor repairs on the 23d or December, hut
owing to a disagreement between the miners
and the company about wages tho repairs
did not then take place. The difficulty was
settled on the 24th of January, when the
work of repairing the iHines began and was
in progress nt the time of the accident.
Outrages on the Plains.
v Washington, Feb. 0, 1S72.
Mr. M'Cormick, delegate from Arizona,
recently delivered lo Secretary Fish a let
ter Irom Governor oallord, ot that Terri
tory, detailing numerous outrai,es commit
ted on the border by marauding parties
from Sonora, Mexico. Iu several instances
entire families ofsctllers havo been murder
ed. The Governor with a party of armed
men, lately pursued some of these bauds,
who, however, escaped capture, and found
refuge in Sonora. Repeated appeals have
been made to the Governor of Sonora for
the punishment of parties guilty of cominil
tinghose crimes wilhiu the Arizona lines.
Luder the extradition treaty the citizens
of one country coouniuii.g depredations or
crimes in the other cannot be surrendered
after their return to their own country.
The people of Arizona, therefore, unless
some sleps bo taken by the Mexican gov
ernment against these raids, will take the
remedy into their own hands. Ihe Gov-
ernor of Arizona nd vises the Department
of State that he cannot be responsible for
the consequences, and asks for instructions.
In reulv. Mr. r isli. in a letter to Mr.
McCovmick, says that he will forward Gov
ernor Safl'ord's letter to our Minister to
Mexico, in order that he may call Ihe at
tention of tho Mexican government to its
contents. Iho .Secretary intimates, how
ever, that in tho present disordered coudi
tion of that country, tho Mexican govern-
ment ciiuuot extend its power and author
ity to the remote frontiers

This number the fairest apportionment
cannot strictly adhere to, aud some dis

to make districts, except when a county is

Washington, Feb. 5, 1872.
It la stnted that several days ago Sir
John Rose telegraphed to a banking house
in New York with which he has business
trnnsnctlons, briefly alluding to tho tone
of tho London press, and urging n modifi
cation of the American statement of tho
case ns being absolutely necessary to a pa
cification of the British and the support of
the ministry and It 'is further said that
tho substance of this telegram ha been
communicated to certain parties la this
city, with a view to effect the desired ob
ject..- However true this may be, it Is cer
tain tnat the acoounts irom .England pro
duce no excitement whatever In Executive
and Congressional circles, nor is it consid
ered that any complications between the
two countries can result irom the aciintion
of the question in England, and it is be
lieved the matters at issue will be settled
in accordance with the terms of tho treaty.
None of the members of the two commit
tees on Foreign Affairs, have beard of any
disatisfaction with the treaty apart from
the London papers, nor had their attention
been called to the subject by either the
President or the Secretary of State, and it
is equally certain thnl they and other mem
bers of Congress will stand by the treaty.

also said to be the determination of thoso

earnestness as was exercised bv the British
themselves.
From our Philadelphia Correspou
'- dent.
Philadelphia, Feb. 2,1872,
FrtiENr Wilvert :
The recent severe
ly contested fight being over in the 4th
district the smoke of the battle too, passing
away, the masses have settled once more
into the quiet and peaceful goings of this
dullest of seasons iu city life. It would
not be well for me to say aught of the strug
gle that has ended. The subject has been
so well nnd ably handled in our daily pa
pers as to leave little room for comment.
The lessons taught were many and it be
hooves us iu our great Republican party
the party of real reform and progress to
pay particular heed thereto, the chief one
being, it see inn to me, that we must nomi
nate only good and acceptable men to olli
ces, if we Want success. Tho decrease in
our recent vote polled shows what disaster
is apt to result from disregard thereof. In
this case-Col. Gray was personally all that
could bo wished, but he was supposed to
be the representative ot those who Hunk
they carry the party in their pockets, and
without whose say no nomination can be
.made. Still in this case conceded to be
fairly made. Had bis opponent been a d li
ferent man, one whose record was more
clear, more trulv Reform nnd Republicnu
tho contest might have ended dillerently,
hut it does uot do for a man to ruu as a
Reform Republican to whose machinations
one Democrat at least, now sits in the Sen
ate whoso place justly belongs to a Repub
lican, who must be defeated because he
could not be bought. These things will
come out, even if Ihey did happen in nn
other part of the State, and they (lid here.
The cold of tho past few days has pro
duced a harvest for the ico men. Cue
company I notice running cxrtn trains 13
and 20 miles from the city, carrying men
to cut and load it, goin; out early every
morning and reluming at night. The ice
being brought to their stole houses near
the city.
The dreaded nnd loathsome disease about
which you hear so much, is little heard of
here. 'That it exists no one denies, but so
it floes everywhere, but here ihe large popu
lation renders it less noticeable.
The coining campaign, and the centenary
are the only engrossing themes of conver
sation. The friends of our present able
Auditor General seem active, and it be
hooves the friends of your worthy towns
man to be astir. That success could be
assured w ith bis name at the head of the
ticket, no one doubts, and your correspon
dent most sincerely wishes to see it there.
So awake aud work. Fill up the ranks
and move forward l i iclory.
