Penn'a. Legislature.
The members appear to be working very
industriously—and are getting out of the way
many bills of a local character of no general
interest. The State Printing we suppose
will be taken from the present printer who
is doing it at ruinous prices under the lowest
bidder law, and given to one of the many
anxious fora'' fat take' by election as under
the old system, when handsome fortunes
were made by the system of overcharging,
and the work not as well done as at present.
Several Bills regulating the sale of intoxi
cating liquors are now occupying the atten
tion of Members—but we doubt whether any
one of them can be passed by both houses.—
The House is strongly in favor of the repeal
of the pregent law, but not so with the Sen
ate.
The- Pennsylvania Railroad.
The annual report of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company presents the road in a high
ly prosperous condition. The road is well
'stocked, and in admirable repair. The laying
of the second track is rapidly progressing
-136 miles being already . down, leaving 111
miles to be laid, most - of which will be com
pleted during the coming summer. The busi
qess of the road shows a very large and grat
ifying increase. In the passenger and emi
grant business there is a slight diminution as
compared with 1854, but the earnings from
freight have been $2,805,395 39, showing
an excess of $778 ; 694 ,34, or over 38 per
cent. over the previous year, which, after de
ductions for tolls paid to other roads, leaves
the company $2,293,722 - 78, against $1,643,-
090'44 the previous year.
The total earnings of the road for the year
foot up $3,108,653 52, which after deductions
for tolls, and all other expenses, leaves a profit
for the year of $1,829,277 54.
Fencing in of Railroads.
A Bill has passed both branches of our Leg
islature which requires all railroad companies
in this State within nine mentlfs after the
passage of the Act, to erect and maintain good
and sufficient fences along the lines of their
roads, wherever the same may be necessary
for the protection of private property and the
prevention of accidents, togpther with such
cattle guards and other erections and devices
as shall be required, in connection with such
fences, for the said" object of Protection and
prevention:,

The -People are Responding
Since the administration of.Tackson no doc
uments have made such a sudden, and as we
believe permanently deep, impression upon
the public mind,.as has been produced by the
last annual message and the recent special
message of President`Pierce. The principles
laid down and the.great truths set forth in
these admirable papeis have not merely been
responded to -with enthusiastic satisfaction
from one extremity of the Union to the other;
but they have awakened ,a feeling of nation
ality which the country has not known for
years, or known only through the Democratic
party.' The Milledgeville (Georgia) Union.,
alluding to the earnest manner in which the
people' are responding, to the patriotic senti
_
ments and course of the - President, says:—
,"A Know-Nothing paper last week, ob
served that Alabama had endorsed -Presi
dent Pierce,, and asks " who , will follow I"
We answer, Tennessee has already follow
ed, .Georgia has followed, South Carolina
has followed, so far as her leading states
-Ellen and public journals can speak for her;
and every Southern State will soon follow;
- nor will the tide of public opinion in "fa
:vor• of the, President, be confined, to the
South. Maine and New Hampshire will
_soon follow ; .Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
loWa, , and Wisconsin will follow, and the
friends of the constitution and Union in
every part of the United States will rally
and stand' by the President in his bold
and patriotic endeavors to defend the con
stitution and preserve the Union.- The pa
triotic message of President Pierce has al
ready produced, and is producing, a won
derful change in public opinion. Men
who had ahnost given up all hopes of the
Republic-'have taken courage . and resolved
to stand by President ' Pierce, and make
one more bold and determined effort to
save the country. These feelings and de
terminations have not been confined to the
politicians by any means; it is the, senti
ments of the people."
Maryland and the Presidency.
The Democratic members of the Legislature
of Maryland, at a
.recent meeting, adopted
the following resolutions by a unanimous
vote :
Resolved, That we congratulate the country
upon the administration of Franklin Pierce,
Presided: of the United States; 'and in the
history of his administration, in connection
with the history of the administration imme
diately preceding it, we recognize the policy
of the federal government as finally estab
lished and acquiesced in upon those subjects
_which heretofore formed the issues of the
two great Political parties.
Resolved, That we most cordially approve
and commend - the high and dignified position
President Pierce has 'assumed, and which,
together with him, the Democratic party of
the Union has taken in defence of the rights
secured to the various sections of our country
under the federal constitution, in support of
the principles of the Kansas—Nebraska bill,
and in patriotic and unwavering opposition
to all secret political associations, and to all
organizations attempting, either directly or
indirectly, to impair the sacred privilege of
liberty of conscience, to abridge the equal
rights of the people of this country by an ar
bitrary, unjust, and unconstitutional discrim
ination between the native-born and the nat
uralized citizen ; and we will maintain in
its present organization, the integrity of that
party, as the only party now in the country
whose organization is national, whose princi
ples are in accordance with the federal con
stitution, and whose purposes are patriotic
and just; and in this high political dnty we
invite all good citizens to co-operate with us.
What Next ?
The senseless and contradictory grounds
furnished by the pppositioh for the war they
have waged against the administration are
thus summed up by the People's (Massachu
setts) Advocate :
"The course of the opposition towards the
adthinistration is marked with a most deplo
rable want of principle. They began by de
nouncing. General Pierce as an abolitionist,
then aa a doughface and servant of the South,
then as an agitator, then as a hunker whom
any agitation would frigten into fits, then as
a dictator to his party, then as a -man of no
influence, then as a perfect . dictator ; then
they complain because he does not direct his
party in Congress, and take the business of
the majority into his 'own hands; and, lastly,
they find fault because ail their shiftings and
turnings have not had the effect to injure the
democratic chances for the presidency. Can
anybody tell us what these fellows want
next?P'

The Objects of British AbolitiorAsrm.
A late article in the Union ) setting forth
the dangers and purposes of British , influcnco
in regard to abolitionism in the United States,
has induced an intelligent friend in Aiabarria
to make the following highly interestingsug
,
gestrons
In your remarks on the 28th ultimo, re
specting ' "foreign, influene, abolition, &C.,
allow me to suggest that, there is another and
vastly impoitant motive in English interfer
ence with African labor on, the two conti
nents of America, besides endeavoring to
weaken, by dividing, the combined power of
the Northern and Southern States.
- The British government and power and
the, British East India Company are one and
the same body, inasmuch as most of the min
istry, Parliament, nobility, gentry, manufae
thrers, miners, merchants, bankers, of
."Great Britain" 'are etockholders and propri
etors in con trOling and managing 150,000,-
000 of population (slaves) in the tropical por
tion of Asia. By separating the Mental
qualities of the Caucasian from the 'physical
qualities of African race in the American
tropcs, the East India ,Company -know that
agricultural production will be destroyed, and
competition with Asiatic production be bro
ken down, for the reason that the white race
cannot labor in agriculture in the tropics, and
that the blacks will not,• unless directed ,by
superior and more aspiring _and -energetic
minds than their own. After the suppres
sion of production in the American tropics,
all tropical productions must emanate in
their East India possessions, by which the
marine, commerce, and maritime power of
the world will be concentrated in their hands,
and the labor. and production of the world
(by regulating values at will) inure to their
benefit.
To accomplish these ends, (even if it re.
-quire a century of time,) African labor has,
by the East India Company's money and in
fluence, been suppressed in nearly all the
West India Islands and in Central America.—
A. late writer says that - $606,000,000 have
been expended within twenty years to sup
press African labor in, and Africans going
to, America. Some of the annual expendi
ture is for fees and salaries to preachers,
teachers, lecturers, editors, authors, lawyers,
&c.. in this -country, to so agitate the ques
tion of slavery as that a whole generation of
people and their posterity may be fanatically
brought up in the belief that it is sin for a
negro to work. The effect intended is to set
up one portion of a people in strife and war
to each other, as was done in Hindostan and
Birmab, and when reduced to helplessness,
then step in to the help of the weaker party,
and enslave both to the views and will of the
helper. Slavery in Brazil is tolerated by
13Jitatit at present as a reducer of the value or
profits of it in the American States; -but be
ing the protector and director of Portuguese
affairs, the English will suppress, by a sim
ple edict, African labor there, so soon as
they can by stratagem suppress it in the
United States. Respectfully, &c.
The Emperor off Russia and the War.
A. letter dated St. Petersburg, 7th ultimo,
states that the war party there are opposed to
penee, and that the nobility side with them.
It adds : .
" The Emperor is discontented and melan
choly. He walks up and down for hours to
gether alone in his study, the servants having
orders to let no one come near him. He con
sults his wife, the Empress Marie, who advi
ses him to make every sacrifice compatible
with honor to obtain peace. But then his
august mother interferes, and without in times
exciting him to war, talks of the humiliation
of the empire which the late Czar Nicholas
had raised to such a pitch of glory and power.
Unfortunately the Emperor Alexander is com
pletely under the influence of his mother,
for whom he has an unbounded and absolutely
blind affection. If the counsels of the Em
press Dowager should be at any moment in
sufficient to overrule the advice of the Erif
press consort, the Grand Duke Constantine
is ever at hand to foment the war feeling. He
professes to be the mouth-piece of the aristoc
racy and the people, and is always saying
that the coalition of the Western Powers may
be easily dissolved, if not by arms, by diplo
macy. Then he talks of the Russian fortress
es, Russia's immense resources, and the effect
iveness of her army. In short, the Grand
Admiral without a fleet, as he is called here,
being supported by his mother, gets the best
of every discussion. In the Chancery the
struggle lies between M. de Fonton, a par
tisan of peace, and M. de Seniawine, who is
heart and soul with the war party, M. de Nes
selrode affecting to hold the balance even be:-
tween them."
More Massacres by Indians in Florida
[From Lila New York Tribune.)
Since the attack upon Lieut. Ilartsuff's
party, that portion of Florida along the In
dian River and in the , vicinity . ,of Fort Myers
has become very unsafe for whites. Stragg
lers from the Fen, or adventurers in, pursuit
of, game in those wild, but hitherto peaceful
hunting districts, are fired upon by -Yellow
miscreants concealed behind trees and in the
chapparel. -
We hive just received authentic informa
tion of another attack equal in atrocity to that
committed upon Lieut. Hartsnfrs squad. It
is a letter from an officer, dated
"FORT MYERS ) Jan. 19.
"An express has just arrived from Fort Day
nand with news of another Indian outbreak.'
A party of woodcutters, consisting of a cdfpo
ral and five men, were fired at by twenty
Indians, four miles from the post.. One man
only escaped, (he slightly- wounded ;) thereat
were.massacred, and twelve mules killed.—
Lieut. tamed, Second Artillery directly went
in search of the savages, but though he scour
ed the country arokind ,not a sign_ or trace of
them could beleund, and strangely_ - enough
the dead' dodies - of the men were also missing,
nor was there any trace of blood, but the coun
try is so much under water that blood could
easily 'be washed away. •
- "On his return Lieut. Webb, Second 'A.rtil
lery.,_and a party went out. They, -tOC!, , ex
plored every place., but' without success-; to
the case remains a mastery.: The Indians
were snpposed to' be headed by an old chief
named Okchan.
"Repeated scouts have been sent in every
directiou through the country from Fort Dey
naud since the. affair , with 'Lieut. Hartsuff,
and though they have frequently seen Indi
an hogs,(it is commonly' said- tha; where
you fin Indian hogs, the Indians themselves
are not far off,) thy never have seen any
trace of the Indians themselves.

The' Re -Action.
The results of the recent elections in vari
• ens parts of the Union, are the auspicons evi
'deuce that the people, weary of the agitation
which has so long convulsed the country, are
becoming convinced that it is necessary to
Make a Change. They
,have had a fair trial
. of almost every idea of government. They
,have seen aud felt, the effects of Abolitionism
—and they have mourned over its sad results.
They have beheld the abuse with which Na l , '
tivism struck down all who differed with theni
in opinion—and the scene of anarchy and
- confusion on the floor of the federal Rouse of
Representatives, has had the effect, not only to
excite their fears, but arouse them to a true
sense of their duty. And being once arou
sed, the cheering work has commenced--
never, we trust, to cease, until the whole
policy of Government has been changed, and
:brought back to that Democratic rule which
made the administration of Jackson immor e
. tal, and will render the first two years of
Pierce's rule equally distinguished. When
Franklin Pierce assumed the reigns of Gov
ernment, he found every department in the
hands of the most unscrupulous partizans.—
The old Whig party having received a terri
ble blow by the nomination and election of
Taylor—was completely destroyed by the
years of Fillmore's reign. It was the aim of
the minions then in power—knowing that
they Lad no steady organization—to create a
new party, and for this purpose the spe.._
cious cry of "Americans must' rule Amer
ica" rang through the land., iantil the
prejudices and passions of all - classes for
awhile , promised them success. They did
succeed. Know-Nothingism conquered the
Union, and 10, the result.. We had it at the
very announcement of their triumphs, in per
secutions for religions differences, and pro
scription. We have them' written in tears
and blood. • They were heard all over the
land, and have been echoed through the emp
ty treasuries of many a deceived city and
county. The re-action, however is at hand ;
-and we are mistaken if in one year from this,
there will be an organized Know-Nothing
party in the UniOn..
One of the pleasing reflections connected
with this re-action, is the fact that it emana
ted from the Democratic party. From the
very commencement of the agitation up to
the present, the Democracy have constantly
opposed these elements of aggression, in
whatever shape' they appeared. Whether
they assumed the dark guise of Abolitionism,
or the more desperate shape of Know-Noth-
ingism they were sternly met at every ap
proach—and the sequel now proves how
much the people are indebted to those brave,
bold men who have accomplished this result.
The day , is here, too, when it becomes neces
sary to know who were of the steadfFst and
who of the timid, so that when the %cowning
hour „,of triumph comes, the country may
know where to direct its applause. It can
not be denied that, however gratifying the
prospects of Democracyrare, the past contains
much worthy of censure for those who have
escaped this sea of trouble; and that only he.
is a Democrat who is frank in the avowal of
his creed and bold in his defence.
Let us, then, unite more compactly than
ever. Let us patiently and watchfully await
tkfulnre, and; its promised benefits.- , Let us
be Democrats in action as well as profession
—and the States which form this glorious
Union will be saved from the unscrupulous
demagogue, and the designs of the misguided
fanatic.--=Dent. Watchman.

Awful Collision on -the Southern Mich-
igan Railroad
A citizen of this place, just returned from
the West, gives us full particulars of the
Southern Michigan Railroad accident, neat
Hillsdale, Mich., a meagre o;r*count of which
came.to us by telegraph.
The snow and cold have served to distract
the running arrangements of all railways,
East and West, and trains all are pretty much
"wild," running off time and "feeling the
road." The two trains—one Eastern and
one Western bound—which came into colli
sion near Hillsdale, were both off time, but,
as it appeals, were not equally well conduc
tedJ The throtigh mail train going East was
running at the rate of about thirty miles per
hour, and had out no' head light—and this,
notwithstanding it was midnight and a heavy
snow falling, and the train - much behind
time. The train bound West was going very
slow, had, out lights, &c.,- and in entering
upon a curve west of Hillsdale was run into
by die through mail train. The collision
was dreadful, completely demolishing en
gines, tenders and baggage ears. Tines
men, fireman, baggage-master, and track-
Master were, killed outright, and three oth
ers so badly injured that, recovery• is, deem-•
ed impossible.
The mail car, containing the great Eastern
bound mail and through baggage, was imme
diately set on fire, and its contents complete
ly consumed, and, horrible to relate, the bod
ies of the track-master and the baggage mas
ter were burned - up almost entirely; only
their mangled remains were rescued.
The loss is very great. The mail being
the Great West, bags bound East, must have
contained"much valuable matter in' money,
drafts, &e.. The baggage was all burned, ex
cept one trunk. The locomotive, tender and
baggage cars are all a perfect wreck, amfpas
senger caraare more or less injured.
The engiheer of the mail train is among
the injured, and expresses a wish to die, as
our informant. learned, because he blames
himself in the matter. _ It is an awful record,
but it is only one which goes to make up the
calender of death, all chargeable to the care.

A. Brave Woman.
- A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, wri.:
ting from Liao co:, 3regon, Nov. 21st, says :
As an' indication of the kind of women - we
have on this coast, let me give you the follow
ing heroic incident : The house of Mr Ear
ns was attacked in the afternoon. The in•
mates were. himself, wife and - little girl. In
one hour he had fallen in the conflict. Be
fore he expired he gave his wife'sorne direc
tions as to how to load and fire. The house
was a log one, and at every assault the Indi
ans woad make on the doors she would give
them a deadly fire from a musket loaded with
buckshoti and also , by firing a revolver.—
They- would then retreat not knowing the
number whom they assailed. She held them
at bay until 8 o'clock in the morning, when
she was relieved by' the volunteers. She lit
erally strewed the yard with the dead and
wounded.

Serious Accident to Gen: Cass
WASIIINGT" Feb, B—Much excitement
vas occasioned throughout the city at noon
to-day, from an accident occurring to the
veteran Senator from Michigan, Gen. Cass.
While coming from the Patent Mee, about
12 o'clock, he lost his foothold, and was pre
cipitated some five or six steps to the pave
ment, cutting his head very badly near the
temple, and causing insensibility for a con
siderable time. He was taken up and con
veyed to the National Hotel, and Drs. Miller
and Garnett immediately summoned. The
wound on his head bled profusely, and the
report spread that be had fractrired his skull,
causing a most painful anxiety. He remain
ed for sometime insensible, but finally recov
ered and rcognized the friends in attendance
on him. His physicians also at the same
time annouuced that his injuries were less
serious than had been feared, and that no
bones had been broken. •
'After his woundichad been dressed he fell
asleep, and for an hour or more slept sound
ly. This' evening the symptons fa
vorably to his recovery,. and he lies much
more comfortable. His frame was much
jarred by the fall, arty the only danger is of
inflamation, coupled with his advanced age.
Were he a young man, no danger would be
apprehended.
10 o'clock, P. M.—The physicians-in at
tendance upon Gen. Pass, express the opinion
that he is in no danger.
PHILADELPHIA. MARKETS.
SATURDAY, Feb. 9, P. M.-The Persia?s
account are not as favorable as was general
ly anticipated, and they have had little or no
effect upon our Market-for Breadstuffs. 'The
slight concession in the price of Breadstuffs
in Liverpool, shoW that they have either
very little confidence in the peace reports, or
that they are badly off for supplies.
The Flour market continues exceedingly
dull, and shipping brands are freely offered
at $7,75 per. barrel, without finding buyers—
s7,soa7,62-t were offered and refused for

Corn Meal—the former is held at $5,75, and
the latter at $3,50 per barrel.
GRAlN—There is no demand for Wheat
