Tabu oim special reporters. ' Our special reporters returned from the scene of ihe accident last evening,-wiih the following particulars: ■ The President of the Erie road heard of the disaster about 10 o’clock yesterday morn* mg, on his arrival at ihe office (although Ihe lelegraph operator df the company received the panioularsbn the previous night,) and at once dispatched a locomotive and cars, with the- Vice-President, Mr. Headley, on board, liav’og previously telegraphed to all trains to give way for them. The Woodwork about onfe of the axles look .fire, whereupon ihe special train was necessarily abandoned at Paier&on, and ihe Vice-President proceeded on ihe way-train from that, station, arriving fc«t ihe scene of the accident about 4 p. m. Some 3D men were found there engaged in clearing awaylhe wreck. According to our besl information the train consisted of two baggage and five passenger cars, nil of which were full. The accident occurred on ihedown grade fromjhe summit, upon a perfectly straight track in Shin Hol low, about five miles from Port Jervis. A piece of rail about two feel long here broke nut of the track ; three passenger cars, how ever, passed over safely, although iheir in antes fell a jolting ; but the wheel of the fourth car sank down, and ihe cars ran off the .track.. 7'he fifth car followed the same course. B»nh dragged along by the side of the iiHck ahnui 25 rods, the last one slewing hround almost across the track and overturn ing; the couplings were wrenched asunder nnd the two cars rolled down the embank ment. The second of ihem rolled over once nud a half re-tin*; on ihe roof, and was bro ken imo small fragments. The fourth car rolled over once and brought up against a pile of siones,.crushing in the side nnd tear ing some of ihe seats away: The people Irom a ua\-train standing just below, at ihe walering place, ran to the assistance of the injured, and uniting with pas sengers in the express train, extricated the sulWers, and carried them lo the top of the embankment. The accident occurred 9 o’clock at night, but ihe wounded did not arrive at Pori Jervis until about Five persons were taken out dead, and about fifty injured. Another person died soon after teaching Puri Jervis. The sufferers were carried into the Fowler House and the Dela ware Mouse' Thirty-six persons were re ceived in «he former place, and the remain der in the Delaware House. The physician* and ci'izens turned out en masse , and afforded every possible assistance.—iV. Y. Tribune. We give elsewhere a fill! import of the tes timony taken before the Coroner in the Erie Railroad-catastrophe, with the verdict of the Jury, nnd some la’er particulars of (he con dition of ihe wounded. The Jury “do say upon iheir oath* that by injuries received in the after car of the niuhl express train of ihe New York and Erie Railroad,- which run off the track, and was precipitated down a high embankment, on the 15 h of July inst., six miles east of the village of Port Jervis, Geo. W. J. Robinson (the unknown man supposed to be John Shultz,) Haryey Wood, Margaret Jane Turner, Sarah Ann .Ray, the colored woman, and the small boy named Brown, in the manner and by the means aforesaid, cas ually, accidentally and by misfortune, came by their death, nnd not otherwise; and fur ther, from all the testimony before us, nnd from a personal inspecting of the ground, it is our belief that the cars yvere thrown from the track in consequence of a broken rail, against which ordinary care and foresight on the part of those in charge of the train could not guard.”— N. Y. Tribune . Boston, Friday, July 16, 1858, Through the kindness of Capt. Joseph Cummings of ihe ship Alice Munroe from Liverpool, arrived off ’.his port, we have re ceived the following : *‘At sea, Sunday, June 27, 1658. "Lai. 52 5 N., long. S 3 15 W., wind west and light, and weather hazy, saw two ships heading to the eastward. On lookina wiih a glass found them to be Ihe United States steam frigate Niagara and her Majesty’s ship Gorgon of the telegraphic squadron, and as they were lying s ill, I at once tacked ship and stood towards them. At 11 o'clock a. m. .was boarded by Cyrus VV. Field, esq., and'■a lieutenant from the Niagara, from whom we received a lelter-bag and the fol lowing communicatinn, viz: That the squad ron had experienced remarkably severe weather from the lime of their leaving port, and were 16 days reaching their ’ desti nation, and that they hid made two unsuc cessful attempts to lay Ihe cable. Oo the. second attempt, the 26th, they succeeded in laying upward of 40 miles, and were going along finely, when the communication sud denly ceased at 12:55, Sunday morning, the 2?th of J une. The ship then returned to the starting-point, and were wailing the return of the Agamemnon and Valorous, nnd as soon as they met a splice would be made, and an other at'empt would be made to lay the cable. We lost sight of the Niagara at 3:30 p. m., nnd as the fog set in soon after, I do not think the squadron met before the 28 h. The weather since, for some days, has been foggy and unsettled. Mr. Field seemed lo be in good spirits, and thought lhai they should yet succeed in laying the cable. The stormy weather hid interfered much with the success of the enterprise. One of theships had sus tained slight-injury—a coal hunker breaking loose, by which one sailor had his fog bro ken and another his arm. AH was well on board the Niagara; her machinery worked well and the ship performed well. The damage fo iho plantation* caused by the overflow of the Mississippi river, la es timated at thirty million* of dollars. THE AGITATOR. ITV. 11. Cobb, Editor & Proprietor. WELLSBOROITGH, FA.

Types sometimes make* curious work with an author’s manuscript. For instance : Last week they made “Cassius” say “democratic district,” when he intended to say “ hemlock die. tricl.” We can account for this only by the suppo sition that the compositor was conscious of having to do with a term of shaky import and very natu* rally substituted “democratic” for “hemlock.” We cheerfully make the correction.

It was found that suitors generally failed to appear, us well as witness es, and it-was thought besl to udjoura over to Oct ober. The season is not peculiarly favorable to holding Coufts. Haying und harvesting demand the undivided care of our farmers, and few of them could leave their crops without serious loss- Of course neither Jurors nor witnesses wilt attend next week. Heavy Rain. —A heavy storm, attended by light ntng, copious ruin, and to (he eastward, with hail, passed over this region in the afternoon of Wednes day, I4Ui Inst. Our streets were converted into broad streams of liquid mud in the space of about five minutes. At Cherry Flats the hail was so vio lent as to destroy the corn, literally catling it into shreds. The bridge over the creek at that place was swept away, and the bridges on Elk Run, as we are told, shared a like talc. The damage to crops in that vicinity is considerable. We Darn that some damage was done by light ning on Middle Ridge, Delmar. One dwelling was struck and the floors ripped up, but no lives lost. Distressing Casualty !—Our little community was overcast with gloom, ut noon of Friday lust, on receipt of the startling intelligence that Mr. Har vey Wood, one of our most lespecled citizens, had perished by the frightful accident to the Night Ex press on the Erie Road the night previous. Wc publish the Tribune's account of the accident in another place, and need not here enter into details. On receipt of the despatch, Mr. Henry Wood, son of the deceased, accompanied by Mr. Wro. T. Moth ers, immediately set out lo recover the bodyflying at Port Jervis. They returned with the remains on Saturday at noon, and the funeral, from prudential reasons, took place in tbe evening, following. . - In the death ol Mr. Wood, our community has lost one of its mo-l honorable and upright members, and the world a strictly honest man. His suddenly bereaved family have suffered still greater loss in his death. He was a husband and a father in the very best sense of those sacred relations, and the even tenor of his domestic relations was the subject of frequent remark among those who knew him well. Word* cannot heal the heart bereaved of such a husband, nor can they comlbrt the hearts of chil dren bereaved of such a father. Time, und a firm trust in the Strong Arm which encircles all, from the greatest to the least, alone can accustom the strick en family to the vacant chair in the home circle. Mr. Wood came among us something more than a year ago, lo reside permanently. He was a native of Worcester county, Mass., and removed hither from the town of Webster, in that county I .' He was returning from a business visit to that place when this sudden and dreadful death overtook him. It 4s enough to s?y that those who knew him best will miss him most. He was about 44 years of age. It is probable that this catastrophe resulted from carelessness on the part some person or persons con. nected with the train; but we have no expectation that any investigation wjll make this appear. Five persons arc iiurried trom life without a moment’s warning and half a hundred more maimed and man gled. and “ nobody’s to blame” ! * The Need of the World. Notwithstanding all that combines to render the Nineteenth Century the most memorable of the ages —intellectual and scientific progress considered— the world, even in its best state of development lacks heart. The cold, calculating faculties of the mind arc precociously developed, while the emotion al nature is thrust down us contemptuously as bad men turn away from the stern upbraidings'of a gui’- ty conscience. The world of man will never grow measurably belter until the emotional nature shall be developed to a co.cqaalily with the intellectual. There can be no enduring happiness without a true marriage of the heud and heart. The head uuy he said to sym bolize the Wisdom principle and the heart the Love principle; and these twain must conjointly rule the world ot intelligent being ere that world can be per fected. The uplifting of the emotional nature, then, is the present great need of the world. As it is, men are too apt to look upon great mis fortunes and bitter wrongs as things lo be met and endnred with a kind of stoicism which would be be roic were it not heartless. We have uo veneration for those machines known as “ imperturbable men” —who condole and congratulate in the same even toned, complacent way ; who arc never surprised, never startled out ol a studied calmness of exterior. We are aware that the conventional world denomi ’males such “well-bred men and women;’* but the conventionalism of the world is the disease of which we arc about lo treat. The head is the parent of conventionalism; the heart wars against all studied deformity. Its impulses maybe tempered with a tolerant reason and should be; but that is a very different thing from stifling the spontaneous flow of the finer feelings of the soul. So untrue are men to "their intuitions that the voice of conscience speaking against the convenient sins of Hie individual, is stifled—lest the conventional world should mock him or her as squeamish and sentimental. That word, •* sentimental.” is the best abused word in the language. In its true sense it U the generic term for all generous emotions of the soul. But men have twisted and warped it into a definition of all that is hopelessly namby-pamby in the characters dealt in by u sensation” writers. It by no means follows that the emotional nature is to be crushed oat because some people have made fools of themselves In going the other extreme. There is a conservative ground where .Reason- and* Sentiment THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. may boldlCouri and administer the lives of men ss God Intended they should be administered, f- The sympathies of human nature are held back by the dykes of a false' pride. The race is perish* injj With thirst in sight of overflowing fountains— choosing (he fate of-Tantalos father than to drink* and live in disobedience to established rules. And so it came that the deeds which should be dorieby the right hand-wttboul the knowledge of the left most he done by corporate bodies, or go undone, •This but aggravates the disease which fs slowly yet certainly blceding eociety to its death. ' The nattu rai ls pot aside to-make room lor the artificial, that which was a duty in man's accountability to God is now only a duly because society decrees it and frowns upon the remiss. Thus the laws of society have superseded tbo luwe of Conscience. We are mindful of suffering because society requires so much pf every one us, under penalty of its sovereign displeasure. Same think that the road loTleaven opens np in that di rection. Others, that the rood .to preferment-lies Xlial way. A few, opine that to do right upon com puMon.is belter than not to-do right at all. Possibly it is, but the beauty of the action is lost in the ope ration of the law. To be truly saving, the flow of sympathy must be spontaneous and unrestrained; fur nature is a better dispenser of ber bounty than man can ever hope to be. It is somewhere written that the same misfortune makes one man pull a trigger as he looks down a muzzle, and another pull a bell and order mure brandy and.wafer. It cun as truly be said that the meat of one is the poisun of another—-a venerable saw indeed. But what we intended to say was, that if the votary of brundy-and-waler seems the better philosopher of the two, it is because he has more phleghm and less sensibility than be of the trigger. He is what is recognized in literary circles as a self poised” man. In plainer English,' he is a thorough man of the world, of blunted sensibilities —blunted by long subservience to established rules. Now, the unfortunate who n looks down a a muz. zlc" and deliberately pulls the trigger, falls a victim to a diseased sensibility, for wh.cli be may be in' dubtf d to himself; or to his progenitors. 'The world does not need suc'h an unnatural development of the emotional nature. On the contrary, every like manifestation of sensitiveness but incites (he spec ie ors to renewed vigilance in subjugating the soul to a rule which it abhors, the result of which is a kind of stoicism not at all creditable to beings who claim to occupy a place very much exalted above the unreasoning brute. This war upon the heart, for that it is, is working an imperceptible revolution in Hie spiritual, moral and political affairs of the world. In things political, it manifests itself in the often sacrifice of principle to expediency—a very urual thing nowadays; in fact, so very usual has it become that wc are more than surprised when, as in Illinois, principle and expediency arc held iden. Heal by a deliberative body of men. It is more than encouraging to hear a political party declare that M Everything morally Tighi must be expedient.' 1 Once anchor a great parly in (hat faith and the con vulsive throes of a thousand political earthquakes cannot disturb its equilibrium. Why? because there is heart in that party. Anchor a man fast in that faith and he will pass unmoved through storms of popular wrath and ruffianly opposition which would wreck a legion of intellectual stoics. Arouse the emotionol nature of a people into hdullhy co-op. cration With the intellectual, and yon create a nation of heroes, invincible, against whom the turbulent waves of faction may vainly dash themselves. Oh, for such a people ! or such a parly, even, officered by men who can work for something which, if it come not in their day may accrue to their Childrin. IF we have a prayer for Pcnneylvania it is that the hearts and the heads of her politicians may be happily married at no distant day. We feel confi dent tbol such on union has taken place between the heads and hearts of the Republicans of Tioga county, and therefore let us, like the heroic Paul, “ Thank God akd Take Courage I" ll seems that a French Professor has put (brih a treatise, declaring' Chat amalgamation is the only way to elevate the black race. Whereupon our pi ous friend of the Wayne County Herald sends up the following described moan, to wit: “What a horrible remedy for the evil. This •Atheistic French physician and mock philosopher could not conceive of a more abominable expedient. The idea of abasing the Caucasian race by amalga mating with the negro, as he has described him, is abominably wretched.” Dear Mr. Beardslee, it gives us great pleasure la agree with yon as to the impolicy of amalgamation. Be good enough to mo he a note of the fact that we twain are of one mind for once. Wc want you to make a note of it that you may not deny your tes timony against amalgamation, given above. Now, delectable friend, if theoretical amalgama* tion be such an abomination in your saintly nostrils what an awful stench must practical amalgamation be in those sensitive organs of yours! When we examine the Census Report for 1850, and find that not less than 100,000 individuals, fruits of amalga. mulion, varying in complexion from pure while to a deep straw color, were found on Southern plants tion«, we just begin to know what our friend has suffered since 1853! We knew that some secret sorrow Like a worm in the mnd, Fed on his damaged check. j but wc did not dream that our worthy friend's moral sense bud been undergoing such a series of shocks. Therefore, as a man of feeling, frankness and fair* ness, (excuse the alliteration) we deliberately take back all and singular the saucy things we have said to him in the past; assuring him that we did not suspect him of being troubled with anything worse than dyspepsia. Give us your hand, old fellow t Only think of the Herald and the Agitator lying down together with a pure-blooded Guinea to lead limn! Give us your hand. Let happen what will, the f.;d of our union on tiie 4 unadulterated Guinea' will survive 44 the wreck of mutter and thp crush of worlds!” The u Union” Convention, the platform of which we publish elsewhere, nominated John M. Reed, of Philadelphia., for Judge of Supreme Court and W«, E. Frazer, of Fayette, for Cana! Commissioner. Politically, John M. Read ia thoroughly Republi can. He enjoys a very desirable reputation as a lawyer, as also ia the private relations of life. We have nothing to urge against the man, but why is he (bund on a Platform of the neuter gender 7 We ask this question in all sincerity: What does he mean by exhibiting himself upon that indescribable platform 7 Some lime since we look occasion to say to our fusion cotemporaries that the Convention would not dare to deal with living questions. Look at that platform; read it carelully ; weigh it; analyze it* tell us—what relationship does it bold to the Phila delphia Platform!

Does it affirm the full power of Congress to prohibit in (lie Territories M those twin relics of barbarism—Polyg amy and Slavery” 7 Does it denounce the invasion of personal and State Rights by the Dred Scott De cision?

Platform of the “Unloii” State Convention. Held at Harrisburg , JuhJ 14/A, 1858. This Convention representing the freemen of Pf-nn>y Ivonia who are opposed let the lead: ing measures of the National Administration, most especially those which seek to stifle the voice, and ignore the rights of a large ma jority of the citizens of Kansas; and those which have prostrated the industry of the country, and are fast driving our Govern ment into national bankruptcy, do hereby de clare and resolve. 1. That the Federal Constitution, the sovereign rights, and union of the States, and the liberties of the people, must and shall he preserved. 2. That we protest against the Kansas policy of the National Administration, as at war with the rights of the people, and subversive of the principles of our government. 3. That the reckless and profligate extravagance of the National Administration, causing a necessity for continued loans, without any means provided for thetr payment, gives evidence of a Want of lhat ability and integrity should characterize the government of a free people, and unless cheeked will’lvad to inevitable bankruptcy. 4. That the purity and safety of the ballot box are to be preserved at ull hazards; and that nil frauds upon the Naturalization laws, which have been so much resorted to, to promote the success of the par ty we oppose, ought to be counteracted by whole some and prnper legislation. 5. That this Convention do most heartily approve of and endorse the couise pursued by our able and distinguished Senator in Congress, the (lon. Simon Cameron, as well as that of those Representatives from this State, who have steadfastly opposed the tyrannical policy of the National Administration in their attempts to impose upon the people of Kansas by fraud and force a Slavery Constitution, in oppo sition to the known and ofl expressed sentiments of the freemen of the Territory. 6. That the National Administration, during all the late long session of Congress, evinces an entire disregard of (he great industrial interests of the country, and indulged in a most wasteful and lavish expenditure of the public money. 7. Tlwl the revenue necessary for a judicious and economical administration of the Government, sho’d he raised by the imposition .of duties upon foreign imports and in laying them. Sucii discriminating protection should be given as will secure the rights of tree labor and American Industry. 8. That In presenting John M. Read to the people of Pennsylvania, as a candidate for Judge of the Supreme Conn, wc recognize the man, scholar and jurist, eminently qualified to fill and adorn the place. 9. That Wm, E. Frazer is well and favorably known to the people of Pennsylvania, as an able and correct business man, and peculiarly qualified to discharge all the duties pertaining to the office of the Canal Commissioner. 10. That we approve of the enactment of proper laws to protect us from the introduction of foreign criminals in our midst by returning them at once to places from whence they have been shipped to our shores. i Fobney.— Tho lone of ihe Press indicates ihe return of Forney to ihe democratic fold There is no longer heard from it the shrill blasts of war. that the public were startled with at first;,but in their slaad y an evident cooling down of temper and moderate porty eommon-places. The letter of ‘Occasional,’ from Washington, in Saturday’s issue, comes In the rescue of the administration against the charge uf extravagance, adopts Letcher’s false figures as true, and rebukes all those who have been sounding the alarm over Ihe extraordinary expenditures of the govern ment. When it comes to that, the paper has not much farther to go. The terms of “re conciliation” which Forney laid down a short lime ago have, clearly enough, been accent ed. The administration will throw overboard its obnoxious friends in this Slate, permit the re-election of Hickman and slop the work of proscription; and in this way the parly feud is to be healed. In Illinois, so far as appearances go, the same course will be pursued. The warfare upon Douglas, at the command ol Ihe South, is ceasing; lite “little giant” is to betaken into the party again, and the unity of the party is to be preserved at all hazards. In a short time it will hardly be known that there was a division in the parly. The two wings will coalesce and be as loving as before. True, those who have gone ton far for reconciliation cannot be taken back, their party associations having been effectually sundered ; but the leaders and the office hunt ers will be received into the fold, and the chances are, ten to one that they will stand higher in the party than they ever did bef re. Herein is to be found a lesson for Republi cans, Will any of them suffer themselves to be led away by trifling causes when the enemy is thus settling up its ranks solidly? We cannot believe it. A Youthful Uncle. —As we left Pills, burg in the cars, we observed a small boy mimed Stitt, about twelve years of age, pnorly clad, but very intelligent, having wi h him an infant ten months old, the child of his sister, who died a few weeks ago. The lad had brought the infant from lowa City, where the mo her died, and was on his way to Harrisburg. The young uncle had cared for and nursed it all the way—a weighty charge for one so young. Ft would not, per haps, have been' so much remarked, had a young girl been the custodian of the orphan babe, but here was a mere boy, pulling away childish things and assuming all the cares and responsibility of a parent, during the journey of a thousand miles at least. The passengers manifested the greatest in terest in the wayfarer and his charge, the ladies especially, in turn relieving the lad of his burthen, as he appeared to be almost ex hausted with his long journey. Such con stancy and manliness in one of such youthful' years is not often exhibited, and certainly well deserves the name of heroism.— Cor, Pittsburg Post. >i ■ :\ £ommuutcationjs.

According to notice the Welsh citizens and children assembled at their church in Char leston, for the purpose of celebrating the an niversary of American independence. They were formed in prncessipn at the church by their Marshal, Mr. D.| tr. Edwards, and marched to the beau’ifuli grove near. R. Da vis’. The exercises were hpened by prayer, then followed speeches,nrajtions, and_selected pieces by the Sabbath Sphool children and teachers, and by citizens generally. The speeches were patriotic, an!d the pieces appro priate and well delivered. to feel that it was independence day.

But when he says; “bj at the North, and see on every side, ano > by every mail, proof that we have nott <, dered to popularity ; see what we have s. i fered in your behalf; when you see all hi and see that you are not exorbitant, » tl not ask any offices ; lake your foreign mi sions and distribute them where lh»v awo. priately belong; take the Federal Treason and use it; but when we go home to aao;;. raged constituency, will you besoi llihrais noi to let us carry a few onion seeds,at, garlic, and now and then a cabbage, (laar. ter,) so that our constituency may beiod-e to wink a little at the course we have tais on the great question on which we hsveat rificed so much for you.” 1 confer th even if i had such strict rules as iheSetts from Georgia emertains upon Ihe (Wj lion, when such an appeal as that came fra such a.source, the “right bower” of Huh ministration not asking to take the “acc,'': any thing else, but simply a little omooa —a vegetable that, under peculiar states: application is calculated to produce lesrt (laughter)—can you not let us go home is cry with our constituents over what »ehr done! I do not wish lobe personal, b. appeal to the honorable Sena'or fromGrarji and I ask him—l can ask him, far we hie always been on friendly relations— Mr. Bigler. Allow me. I have no ia at all that the Senator intends to be persori. Mr. Hale. Oh, no. Mr. Bigler. But he uses terms iful J« not understand ; talking of the “tight ho» er” and “ace,” and all that sort oi thiii (Laughter.) Mr. Hale. Well, sir, Ido not anderfd them ; but I thought the Senator did, beet! the Senator from Geoigia spoke of it,aid's seemed to understand it then. (Laugh'.!" I do not understand them, but I suppose ‘i parliamentary, highly so, (laughter,) ors it would not have been introduced. Idas know what the “right bower” is. Lt® it is a naval [knave-al] term, (laughter.): something of that sort. But I was proceeding. The Senator fc Georgia and myself do not agree on polls questions; we have differed; but in our social intercourse we have hil*| difficulty, and whenever it has been is-.- power—l do not know that 1 ever opportunity where it was in my power's him a slight favor, but if it was the os would do it; but if he has the sonal regard for me, I beg to throw in'o s same scale where the eloquence and p ,!
