The Union is strongly urging the coinage of one

ihey may be lost in the pocket, or in the hurry ofjj
payment passed for small silver coin, recommends
a proposition by a correspondent, that he circum

Railroad Accidents. 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

chiefly id blame, jumped oft" and escaped.

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

A New Game to Plat at. On Friday, of
last week a couple of rowdies, one of them
named Powell and the other Bonapart Boyce,
out Judge Embree's and inserting instead Mr. ' S01 1,1,0 a frolic near Dixville, in Mercer coun-
Schenck's amendment. 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. Aftear a few slashes Powell severed By
cejs jugular, and the latter died immediately-;
Boyce was formerly well known by many in
this city. He was of a highly respectable fam
ily, and a man of fine talents and education.

Hon of the public. We', have used' them freely in
our private, practice, and have ever found them a
most efficaciou'smedicine. We know of no medi
cinal concoction so sure as those pills, all others
which we have analyzed being more or less in
jured by particles of deleterious matter, an evil
which Dr. Clickencr has avoided, by the invention
of a singularly ingenious machine which extracts

For California. Underground! The
New Orleans Courier publishes, in French, an
account of a subterraneous canal, which; it is
alleged, has been discovered by a Frenchman,
at Vera Paz, connecting the Atlantic and Pa
cific oceans ! Its wonderful opening is near
the bayf Honduras, its sides being coil
srrucicd of enormous stones, nicely cut. If

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."
