light roused the expectant sleepers, one of the
notioeablefeatures was, that notwithstanding
the many predictions to the contrary we were to
be blessed “with a white Christmas.” We say
Messed, because the proverb runs that "a groen
Christmas makes a fat ehnrchyard.” The
morning was bright and sunshiny/und as the
day wore on, the snow stole away as silently
as it came, and towards evening it had almost
entirely disappeared from the streets.
There was no unusual excitement anywhere
apparent, bat a quiet enjoyment seemed to
play over the coontenanees of old and young.'
Who can describe the thousand pleasing inci
dents of the home circle on a Christmas morn
ing? We leave this question unanswered,
and oontent ourself with saying that the
streets wereneverso thronged within oar recol
lection. Every body and their blessed babies
were out in fail rig, and go where you would,
you must encounter a crowd. Fifth street was
a perfect jam, and the other principal tho
roughfares were little less crowded. The
shops did a good business;' the places of
amusement were /filled to overflowing; the.
passenger_railwayg were largely patronised,
and the entire population seemed afloat—on a
sea of mad 1 xoung America was particularly
jabilant, revelling in luxurious extravagance,
utterly regardless of the rebellion, the proba
bilities-of a war with Johnny Ball, or—the
mud!
Altogether, the day was pleasantly spent,
and only differed from those which have pre
ceded it, inthatten thousand anxious thoughts
went forth to the camps on the Potomao, the
plains of Kentuoky, and.the sandy isles of
south Carolina. Let us hope that ere another
Christmas- dawns opon our land, those brave
and generoui souls shall restore happiness to
their friends and peace to onr beloved land.
Sad Casualty in Manchester.
On Tuesday night, an accidont occurred in
Manchester, which resulted in the death of
Robert <?aughey, son of Mr. James Caughcy,
residing on Chartiers street, directly opposite
the borough school home. The circumstances
of tho painful affair are these: Between ten
and eleven o’clock, fire was discovered in the
npper rooms of a small now frame tenement, on
tho lot adjoining the property of Sfr. Caughey.
The home had been nearly finished, and tl)e
plastering was partly dried, but the owner had
uotyfet occupied it.’ The fire burnt very slow
ly, and the neighbors did what they could to
save thematcriai about the premises. Fences
were removed, and a portion of the weather
boar4toglT?9*trtpp*d'Cro'U the new building.
Among' those most active at the fire was
Robert Caughey. who remained until tho dan
ger appeared to oe over. Fears were expressed
• in regard to the chimney falling, and some one
suggested that it had better be pushed down.
Mr. B. Logan, the contractor, remarked that
-the chimney might stand, as tho brick copld
thm be saved. Soon after, a hearth in the
upper story gaTe Way, and the exclamation whs
heard—’'Look oat! the chimney's falling!”
Mr. Caughey was standing between the chim
ney and his father's house, but not being able
to sec the danger, ran directly under the tailing
mas*. -He was struck on tho head and pressed
to the earth—the skull being fractured in a
shocking manner. Death followed almost in
stantly. As soon the brick could be remov
ed from his head and shoulders he was carried
into tho house, only to convince all that his
case ifas beyon<ji the reach of surgery. Had he

gained good will and preferment. He was
highly esteemed for his tn&uy excellent quali
ties, and wjxile his death will cost a deep
gloom over a largo circle of acquaintance!, it
will fall with crashing wuight upon his aged
parents.
On Wednesday, Coroner HcClung hold an
inquest upon tho remains of the deceased,
when a verdict was rendered in accordance
with the facts 6tatod. Tho origin of the fire
is not definitely known, although Mr. Logan
is .of opinion that it waa tb e act of an incendi

Fatal Railroad Accident.
On Tuesday night, between eleven and
twelve o'clock, nn unknown mnn was killed
on tho railroad track, on Liberty street, near
tho canal. He was walking up tho tracks
while,an engine attached to a stock train on
the Cleveland and Pittsburgh was backing
down. The whistle was blown loudly, “but
the man did not seem to hoed tho warning,
.and ho was struck by the tender. The en
gino was reversed as speedily as possible, but
the work of death had been accomplished.
The man was found under the tender, with
his neck on the Tail, and his head
severed from his body. He was extricated
with considerable difficulty, and the body was
found to have been horribly mutilated.
On "Wednesday afternoon an inquest was
held by Coroner, McClcing, and a verdict of
accidental death was rendered. Ho one could
be found to identify the body, and it was
given in charge of- Mr. Dovoxe, undertaker,
of Grant street. Deceased was about twenty

John H. Hampton, Esq., appeared for the
defendant, and Messrs. White and Slagle for
the complainant.
The petition of Elisa Biller, wife of the
defendant sets forth that ho has been and now
is of unsound mind; that he is wasting and
destroying his property; that he is incompe
tent to discharge his duties towards his famuy,
and prays that a Commissioner may be up- I
pointed to manage his estate.
John Diller is an old oitizen of the county,
and by tactand industry has amassed property
.valued at between $30,000 and $40,000. Mr.
White, in opening the c?se, remarked that the
proceedings here wore not; conclusive, but
preliminary. If the jury found that the de
fendant was not sane, so as to be able to man
age his property, he can traverse the verdict
by having a trial in the Court of Common
Pleas. If they should find, however, that the
defendant was sane, that ended the proceed
ings so far as the Commonwealth was con
cerned. r
The present case was remarkable in several
instances. It was not alleged that Diller was
entirely insane—not incompetent to contract
for the ordinary transactions of life, and con
duct business in the ordinary way—but that
for years past, commencing soon after mar
riage, he* had been afflicted with a species of
moaomania on money matters. Whilo sane
on most subjects, ho was a complete mono
maniac in regard to spending money in his
family. If ftis wife asked'for a dime to par
chase a broom, or three cents to buy lime with
! which to whitewash tho blackened walls of his
house, he would rave like a maniac, and abuse
his wife in the most outrageous manner.
These paroxysms of passion grow upon him
gradually until his monomania became fixed,
and his delusion permanent, lie frequently
talked of destroying his family, and would
even employ his own children to turn the
grindstone while ho sharpened the instru
ments to kill his wife. These acts ran ovor
a period of more than twenty years, and many
of his acts oonld only bo covered by the man
tle of charity, baaed upon tho supposition
that he was insane. His gross abuses
finally compelled hi 9 family to separate from
him, amd articles of separation were drawn
up some four or five years ago, He has since
raved most outrageously about his family,
circulating the most shameful stories against
his wife’s character, and, it is alleged, has
endeavored to dispose of his property so that
his wife and family can obtain no part of it.
liepCe these proceedings became necessary,
and it t?JM the duty of the jury to determine—
first, whether ho was actually of unsound
mind ; and whether suck insanity disqualifies
him bom a proper dischasge of his duties
toward* his family, and whether his property
should not be placed under the charge of a
Commissioner.
After tho case was opened, a difficult point
presented itself—to wit: the time to which
the testimony should bo confined. The peti
tion did not set forth the time at which*tho
alleged lunacy commenced,and M* - . Hampton,
j coansol for defendant, vigorously oppoied the
; taking of any testimony whatever'until the
’ limit was fixed. We gathered from his re-
I marks, also, that Mr. Biller would endeavor
to establish his sa'oity to the satisfaction of
• tbo jury, and if any evidences of monomania
were developed in his conduct, they were on
account of his having been driven almost to
distraction by a termagant wife. The point
as to time was finally waived—it being agreed
to keep tho testimony within •‘reasonable”
limit.^
This caso presents many painful footnxes,
and we shall not publish the testimony rela
tive to family broils and domestic disagree
ments. * Two daughters of the defendant, fine
and intelligent looking young ladies, appear
to testify against their father, but in justice to
them we may state that thoy were urged t<rdo
so, and consented with great reluotance. The
case will probably occupy a couple days, as
many witucsscs are sub]»enaed on both sides.

tho way.
A son of the deceased, aged ten years, who
was with them at the raffle, and *bo could
not be found «m Tuesday, was sub»equontly
arrested and held as a witness. He was ex
amined this morning, and stated in substance
that his mother fell on her face while going
home. He and bi* father raised her up with
great difficulty, and after proceeding some
distance she fell again. Thoy tried to raise
her up, but his father was vpy drunk, and
they were obliged to go on without hrr. In

with his father, and found her dead, in the

Dr. McCook testified that there wero no
wounds which might not have beon received
in falling, and that her death was caused by

be humiliated to the- condition of a second
rate power. No man would go farther than
himself for peace, but he would not submit to
National disgrace and dishonor to obtain
such peace. He would favor tho arbitration
of unother power ; but 1 if a demand had been
made by- Great Britain for the surrender of
Mason and Slidell, war should bo declared in
3tenter. Ho would make all honorable con
cessions for peace, but a peace involv
ing such a surrender would be infinitely
worse than war. His friend from Ind., Mr.
Lane, had remarked this morning that bis
State had now 60,000 men in the field, and
would double that number to maintain the
national honor. If this Senate should go
home after such a surrender and have an elec
tion it' would be the subject of scorn and in
dignation of the Country. Ho regarded the
1 arrogant deifiand of England as a mere pre
tence fur war, Sho was determined to humil
iate us first and fight us afterwards. Let our
cities and villages bo pillaged and burned,,
but let our national honor bo preserved.
Francis the I said after tho battle of Pavia
that all was lost bat honor. Ho would pray
that this Administration might not sacrifice
our national honor. Thousands wonld
yet como -to tho field to defend it.
If this surrender was made, tho admistra
tion will bo met wilh'such a fire in the rear
that it wou)d be hurled from power. If wo
bad war with England, it would be for the
same cause that nad sent one King to tho
block, and another bomeloss and nouseloss
over the world, and ono that would appeal to
men ' whenovor tho English language was
spoken, IJe belioved, too, that if Napoleon
had ono desire more than another, it was to
wipo out the stain on tho French ornri at
Waterloo. All over Canada, there wore thou
sands of Irishmen who would rush to 'arms
to sustain such a course. Our principle was
our great strength, and if war mast cpmc, he
would say let it come! and thank God that wo
were the instruments in His hand to work oat

Mr. Sumner, of Mass., said, tho Senator
had mode a speech—a war speech it might be
termed. For himself, ho would rathor con
sider this grave and important'question when
it was presented in a practicable form. Tho
Senator has treated too whole matter on a
hypothesis. He had said that Great Britain
had made an arrogant demand of this Gov
ernment. How did the Senator know this ?
Or tho Senator or'tho country? He, Mr.
Sumner, did not know It. Tho Senator had
said ho wonld favor an arbitration. ' Uow did
he know but that the Administration bad con
sidered that 9 Senator was too swift in
hit conclusion. Ilia .own opinion was that
the difficulty would be honorably and amica
bly adjusted. It was in safe hand;, isfid it
wonld bo better for the Senate to reserve them
selves for facts, and not to actupon a hypoth
etical ease.
The resolution of Ift.' Hale was then laid
over under tho role.
Mr. Paris, of ky., gave notice that he
should introduce Q bill confiscating erory spe
cies of property of all persons who bad any
connection with the Soutborn rebellion in
cixil and military or naval capacity.
Mr. Harlan, of lowa, in trod need a bill for
establishing Provisional Governments in all

T?*uight a fire broke out in tho Govern

contained over £O9 floras*, between 15 and 20
of which perished. Of* a trnjji of 102 horses
belonging to a Massachusetts rogiampf, only
11 were, it is said, saved. Some of the ani*
mais were so shockingly burnt, that it was
judged humane to shoot them in order to re
lease them from their sufferings. It Is sup
posed tfcat tho conflagration resulted from
careless. So rapidly were the flames commu
nicated to the variona racks which wero filled
wiib hay that tho hoy sea In tjae stafjj wero
nearly all at the same' ujho suffocated, j
The scene was m°*t sickening and offensive, j
The remainder of the horses, nut immediately J
□ear the fire, wero either set loose gp broke
their fastenings, and wildly ran in different
directions. They wore purauod by squads of
cavalry, with a view to their capture. A
largo quantity of harness, and a house occu
pied as a dwelling by teamsters, were alio'
destroyed. This Urge loss affords an addi

12,000 guards will be sent to Canada. Two
battalions, of the guards were expected to sail
on the 18th, on the Adriantie ana Parana. No
cavalry o; horse artillery will be dispatched
for Canada till spring.
Tho Paris correspondent of tire London
Qlobt says that Mr. ThoavenaJ’s dispatch to
Mr. Mescier is known, to have confined the
Federal Executive to the simple dilemma,
“Are the Southerners belligerents or rebels?”
They have been flatly refused any rights in
the first capacity, and in the second, the right
of asylnm acquired by political refugees has
been set at naught, and Franoe must make
the ease of the Trent substantially her own.
The London Timet publishes is letter from
Thurlow Weed, defending the American Gov
ernment, and Mr. Seward in particular, from
the alleged hostile: intentions, towards Eng
land. The Timet says that England asks
nothing from America but that sh* shall ab
stain from actual outrage/or that if it is com
mitted that, she shall make reasonable repa
ration. If not, the alternative vftU not come
4n the desired form of protracted negotiations.
The London SereUa takes strong grounds
against the argument of the London Rates in
favor of arbitration. It says that negotia
tion cannot be listened to while Mason and
Slidell ate detained prisoners.
The Sheffield Foreign Affairs Committee
had petitioned Government to'visit its high,
displeasure on Capt. Molr and Commander
Williams for haying in the Trent affair vio
lated the Queen's proclamation, and thereby
show to America that England's neutrality is
strict and impartial.
France.— The Paris Prettt says that Gen:
Scott’s mission appears to have been arrang
ed so as to allow nim time to fulfill it before
the ultimatum of England is remitted, and
perhaps to modify the nature of this step on
the part of England.
The Payt, on the contrary, assorts that
the English ultimatum is to be of an absolute
character.
From Harrisburg-
Harrisbcbq, Dec.' 26.-— Governor Curtin
returned from New York yesterday, and will
leave for Washington to-morrow, for the pur
pose of consulting with the National Govern
msnt upon the military affaire of the State
genoratiy, but more particularly upon the
best means of defending Pennsylvania from a
foreign enemy._ The. Governor, some time
since, wroto to J. G. Totten, Chief of the
Engineer’s Department at Washington, re
questing early information respecting the
present State of tho defence of the river Del
aware and the harbor of'Erie. The reply is
most satisfactory, and in substance is as fol
lows :
“Fort Delaware is now ready to receive Us
entire armament, amounting to 135 large
guns, besides 20 flanking 24 pounder howit
zers. Fort Mifflin is also ready for lts entire
armament, consisting of $7 large guns. Be
side# these preparations, an application is now
before Congress for a graqt or money to com
mence a new Fort opposite to Fort Delaware,
and for the of increasing the defensive
capacity of Fijrt well a* completing
the barrack’s bcoommodations of Fort Dela
ware. With respect to Lakq Erie, Congress
is also asked to grant a large snm of money
for tho purpose of providing defences at sueh
points on.tno Northern Frontier as may. re
quire them.”
This is a gratifying state of affairs, and
will tend greatly to calm tho fears of tho
timid. If war comes, Pennsylvania at least
will be armed and ready for theconfliot.
Tho report of the dommissioners, Messrs.
Parko and' BelUhoorer, of Pittsburgh, ap
pointed sbino time since to visit the Pennsyl
vania troops then in Kentucky, has bees
received, And tho result provos that the duties
imposed-tfpon them have been well and ably
pcrrormodr l ' ( The most important, as well os
the most gratifying, result of this commission
U that tbc dfficerewpd men have signed allot
ment rolls which amount ?n the aggregate to
$22,000 per month. Undek the late act of
Congress,-this money will he remitted to the
res pectivo families of the signers, by the Pay
master General. Gov. Curtin has written a
letter to the Commissioners, thanking them,
In behalf of tjie loyal people of Pennsylvania,
and complimcnting'th'etqfor tiyj faithful and'
