September 10. —3m PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY HAINES & DIEFENDERFER AT ONE DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS PER ANNUM. HEAT RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT! $50,000 l 'oPthe A T Fi r A o S a e G r e t a w t Fal l o lo comotives precipitated into the Canal—One man killed and several wounded. Accompany ing this terrible disaster there still was a striek of luck to the Lehigh Valley Railroad Compa ny for its occurring at the time it did—on Tuesday afternoon, because on-the following morning some 30 or 40 cars were about being loaded by merchants in New York and Phila delphia with new style Fall and Winter Goods, all of which were to pass over the Bridge the same afternoon ,directly to Allentown, and there to be unloaded at Joseph Stopp's Cheap Cash Store, No. 35 West Hamilton street. It is evident that if these cars, with their heavy freight, had been shipped in time to get on the Bridge, that their immense weight would have broken down the entire structure, and precipita ted their contents into the Delaware, and thus would have incurred a loss to the Company of between $300,000 and $400,000: and not this alone, but the citizens of Allentown and vicini ty would also have felt the loss, because if this immense quantity of cheap goods would have been lost, it would certainly have caused a scarcity, and a rise of 20 per cent. But by the aid of luck and the telegraph the intelli gence of the accident was communicated to Philadelphia, and Stopp consequently had his goods loaded during the three successive days,.l on steamboats, canal boats, wagons, carts, wheelbarrows, backs of niggers, &c., and now they have commenced to land at his new Store House. His clerks are now engaged both day and night in unpacking and selling goods. As I passed by there last night between 11 and 12 o'clock, I stepped in, and to my astonishment found perfect mountains of goods piled from floor to ceiling. I passed back through the Store and saw a pile of about 500 Shawls, of all colors and prices—from 525 down to 37, 1 , cts. a piece. On the other side I saw about 4000 yards fancy De Laines ; and a little fur ther along about 6000 yds. of twilled Persian 'Cloth : on the other side! hit my elbow against 14 or 15 cart loads of Calico, and a little fur ther along there was a pile of 8 or 10.000 yds. shirting and sheeting from to 2t yds. wide. I then looked for men and boys' wear, and on one side of the store saw ninny thousand yards of cloths, cassimetes, sattinetts, Kentucky jeans, tweeds, &c., of all colors and prices.-- I then began to get towards the rear end of the store, and my eyes fell on carpets, oil cloths. looking glasses, window shades, glass and queensware. By this tine I began to get pretty tiled and sleepy. and as I. turned around at the end of the store I madt. a !Ids-step and down I went, head over heels, into the cellar. When I opened my eyes alai my senses were restored, I saw n stack of salt in one corner from floor to ceiling ; on the other side there. was the nicest sugar, coffee, molasses, cheese, and mackerel ever laid eyes on. I asked me of the clerks some of the prices, and after I was told, I felt disgusted on reflecting that I had so long been a fool by paying double prices for my goods else where. It was almost daytime now, and Ide tertnined after breakfast to send you these facts for publication in the Register. In conclusion I will say, both one all, great and small. go to Stopp's Cheap Cash Store, No. 35 West Ham ilton street.

PRIOIONT TIII CONQUEROR of CALIFORNIA Q.—Do you know wino n as the la 1:6011 in ac tual eunnliand of the land iorcts of tilt govern• went of the Untied &dies in California, in the year one thousand eight. handled and forty sev en, and in the month of March in that year ? A.--Col. Fremont, the defendant, ;vim in California at the commencement of hostilities between the United States and the Republic of Mexico. Ile there raised and commanded a inittalion of California Volunteers, consisting of about 450 men ; his services were very valua ble ; he bore a conspicuous par! in the conquest of Culdbrnia, and in my opinion is better entitled to be called the ' Conqueror of California' than any other man. lle continued in the actual command of this battalion throughout the month of March, 1847, but there were other troops in California—other troops of the United States— under the command of Gen. Kearney,l who was afterwards the Military Commandant! and Governor of California, as I have already I stated in my answer to the eighth interrogato ry. I cannot undertake to decide the dispute to which I have already referred, between Col. Fremont and Gen. Kearney, but as long as the California Battalion existed they were under the separate and independent command of Col. Fre mont, whilst Gen. Kearney commanded the other troops of the United States ; for the rest ! of the year, I refer to my preceding answer. The Washington Union has ridiculed the idea I that Col. Fremont was the Conqueror of Califor nia, and other democratic organs have echoed the ridicule of the Washington Unien. Demo cratic organs can now ridicule James Buchan an, tbr he believed when he was a man, that I Col. Fremont was the Conqueror of California.l By the above testimony; another defence of Cor onel Frei:dont, on a point whore ho has been as sailed, is established. The inability of James Buchanan to decide as to the merits of the con troversy between Col. Fremont and General Kearney is a practical admission that the judg ment of the' Court Martial in 1849 was nal ISM ES BORDER RUFFIAN LAWS IN KANSAS.• The following are among the Enactments of the Territorial Legislature which the Missotiri invaders elected for the people in Kansas: We copy from the Territorial laws as Aid ally pub• • lished SLAVES.
