A dreadful collision took place by the meeting of two Locomotives with trains of Freight cars on the New York and Erie Railroad between Great Bend and Lanesboro' on Wednesday of last week, br which not only an immense Io9s of property in the destruction of Locombiives was caused but it is feared a fatal injury was inflicted upon the limbs of two or three persons. We are in formed that the train going easl trom Binghamp- ton being a little behind time, the one coming see fit to stop it. While they remain passive noth' ing will be done here. This voting money out of from ihe east, which should have waited at its own pocket is rather a severe strain on modern patriotism. The whole affair has been managed exactly as was foreseen and predicted by friend and foe. The House did not, will not, dare not, vote by Yeas and and Nays to perpetuate the present mon strous inequalities and abuses. It dare not vote that Messrs. Turner, A. G. Brown, Morse, Leffler, Kaufman, Cathcart, &c. are entitled to some $2, 700 to $3,300 for travel to and attendance on this Session while a large proportion of the Members Lanesboio', was recklessly pushed forward in nopes oi reacmng ureat uenu oetore meeting the other.

The Straight Mileage is thrown out beyond restoration, and who did it The gentleman who makes out the Long Mileage accounts that old reprobate, Nobody ! The chain lightning Mileage remains as zigzag as ever, but what constituency can tell whether its representa tives voted to keep it soor not The blow is seen and felt, but the hand that struck it is invisible. Sixly-scven Members (but nobody can tell who)- passed between the Tellers in favor of striking leg was so badly crushed. Since then we hare heard that the leg was taken off by Dr. Jack son of Binghampton, but the man has since died. Several accidents have occtfred on the road hitherto, by collisions with cars or other obsta cles on the track, or by running off and break ing engines, by which immense losses have al ready been sustained by ihe company ; but ibis is the most serious one we have yet heard of. These unfortunaie occurrences in the first star ting of the enterprise, however will probably lead to the enforcement of much regulations, when all their arrangements are completed, as to avoid their frequent recurrence and render th"eir trips safe and regular. Susq. Reg. The decease of DR. M. G. G RATTAN, wKo died, January 28ihj 1849, at his residence in Smithfield township, is much lamented by the cuEitnunity in which he dwelt. We are not in possession of the facts of his life, but al. farns we can ascertain, he was about 30 years di age, graauaiea several years ago, wiih great credit to himself at a Medical In- siituiion in the Stale of New York, and since thai period praciiced medicine in the niegh borhocd in which he died and near which he was born'. His practice was extensive and he was not only the physician but the friend of those families which he professionally visited, and ihe communiiy at large, testified the high esteem in which he was held by the unusually arge concorse of people, which attended his remains to the grave. It is estimated that there wete over one hundred vehicles, and five hun dred persons at ihe funeral. His talents were of a superior order and nis moral character un blemished. For several years he had been a most worthy member of the Presbyterian church, and he departed ihis life in the prospect of a t blissful immortality. He has left aged parents, a youihful widow, and two" children of .lender years to lament his loss. His funeral sermon was preach'ed by his pasior, ihe Rev. Mr. John son, in a most impressive and touching man ner from Rev. ii. 10; and the services at the grave, were conducied by the Chaplain and according to ihe form of ihe Order of Odd Fel lows, of which he was' a prominent and beloved member, and who in a body, attended his fune ral.

Thirty-six to-day, on a' XY ant agreed ro cut throats for a quart of whis- call of the Yeas and Nays, voted to retain that Schenck amendment in the bill. Where were the other thirty-one ! Can anybody guess 1 But the Schenck amendment has done its office It has killed the Straight Mileage and preserved the House from the dilemma of a Yea and Nay vote thereon. I say deliberately, and with a thor ough conviction of its truth that the House would not, dare not, vote down Judge Embree's proposi tion on a.direct Yea and Nay vote. " If it had dared to do thisj it would not have gone?round through the labyrinth of the Schenck amendment to avoid it.. The whole.. master must speak for itself to those' ivhaiiave.orjsliaUliave the facts before them. Hejre, I presume,- the discussion during this Congress must stop.- There is not the ghost of a chance to get a 'MiIeage Reform bill per se before j the House for consideration.; there never has been. I apprehend there will not' be another bill before Congress this Session on which' an amendment reforming Mileage will be in order. There is just one chance left for present" actio-n--namely, that ihe Senate will engraft a proper proviso on the bill and send it back for concurrence therein. It will not be 'in order to move such in the House in case the bill comes back without amendment on this point. Unless the Senate act, then, noth ing can now be done. Should any be inclined to offer suggestions on thjs head; they should be ad dressed to Senators. But the Reform isnly postponed it cannot be lost if those who already porceive the right and detest the wrong will bm remember and; act. And that they will-is my confident- hope and en-tr-eatv. key.

Clickener's Pills are adapted to ail constitutions, being sufficiently rfiild for infant, and yet a most povverfuL purgative. Another of their peculiarities is that their operations are un attended with nausea, pain, or gripe, which is the result of the expulsion of all impure matter from the ingredients that compose them. We have to add that the coating of the Pills with sugar is a new and happy era in medicine, the advantages of which are too obvious to require comment." . M. Matt, M. D. Physician, N. Y. L. S.
