JGenms of Liberty,1 and others have died with it.
Cholera prevails in a number of towns along the

The Cholera this season appears to . have con

worth mentioning having occurred in the Eastern
cities. y

carry the war of conquest into New Mexico, and
that 15,000 can "be" raised if' necessary. They

pretty large. We believe no great apprehension

' Accident.
As the Harrisburg stage was crossing the North
umberland canal bridge on Thursday morning last,
it suddenly gave way, and the stage, with eleven
passengers, was precipitated into the canal. Mr.
Eenj. -D. Jones, one of the passengers; was in
stantly killed, and the remaining ten were more or
or'less injured.

Accident 011 tfe ErieRailroacl Loss
s of kife. ; '
Ms the down Freight-train was crossing the . iron
bridge over a small tributary of -the Delaware, a
bout three miles above Laokawaxen, at 1 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, the bridge gave way.pre
cipitating the entire train into the stream and
.the ireicht-in all directions. JThe,traH,
was very heavy, consisting of nearly twenty cars,
which were filled principally with Liys Stock for
the New-York market:
, The accident occured soon after the passage of
ths Express-train: - As the locomotive of the
Ffeight-train came; upon -(the Bridge,it was lob
served to settle gradually ; but the Engineer put
ting on' all the steam, the increased' power carried
the engine over safely. The tender parting from
it,-fell.' with some fifteen of the freight-cars, into
the ravine below, a distance of some 25 feet.
The stock on board consisted of some 500
Sheep, over 100 head of Cattle, and 200 Hogs,
nearly all of which were destroyed. Only 25 cat
tle and 100 sheep were saved.
The most painful part of this calamity however,
is the loss of several lives; the number of which is
not yet accurately ascertained. It is . supposed
that Jive men were killed three Brakemen and
two Drovers. Three men had been taken out
dead, at the time of the passage of the next train
which reached the City yesterday morning, af.
ter a detention of several hours.
One of these was a Brakeman, whose name was
not ascertained. The other two were Drovers, in
charge of the stock. Their names, ages, and pla
ces of residence are as follows :
Thomas Campbell Clapp, 19 years, old, from
Menton, Ohio, A nephew of Alex. Campbell, of
Bethany College, Va., and in charge of a lot of
sheep and swine.
Mr. Randall in charge of cattle, from Corning,
New-York. .
It is feared that othrr lives were lost.
The engineer and fireman escaped with some
slight scratches. The engine having run off the
track, rested upon the abutment of the bridge, and
gave time for these men to escape. Our informant
states that the Conductor of the train was badly
injured and was not expected to survive. A cor
respondent of the Commercial Advertiser stales
thai another of the injured men was still alive at
the last accounts, but was suffering intense agony
the horn of one of the cattle having been driven
through his breast.
The bodies, of the killed were immediately taken
into Port Jervis.
The drovers and hands in the rear cars saved
themselves by jumping off as the train went down,
and so escaped with little injury.
The scene was painful in the extreme. The
mass was wedged in between the two banks of
the chasm over which the biidge passes, the cattle
being pierced with numerous splinters of the cars,
and impaled upon the horns of each other. A few
were still alive, and after fearful struggles, suc
ceeded in extricating themselves, and getting out
upon the adjoining plain. But those that did thus
escape were apparently all more or less injured.
A number of sheep also escaped in the same way.
It is supposed, upon rough calculation, including
the cost of cars and bridge, that the loss of proper
ty will amount to about $10,000.
The -bridge was 62 feet in length and 25 feet in
hight. The damages, we understand, will be re
paired to-day, and the communication on the line
will suffer little interruption.
A correspondent of last nigt's Evening Post,
who came through yesterday morning, says :
The scene was one of heart-sickening horror.
It had rained very hard some hours before we ar
rived, which tended to increase the gloom and
dread of crossing.
The first knowledge we had of the catastrophe
was on reaching Narrowsburg, some 7 miles west
of the bridge. Here the passengers East and
West exchanged cars and at the bridge we took
the train punctually and came into Piermont.
This unfortunate event is greatly to be deplored.
The Railroad Inspector had but a few days before
examined this part of the road, and this bridge ;
it was deemed entirely safe. I judge, however,
that the timbers were too light, judging from the
manner in Which they were broken.
Beside, a ravine like this should have been arch
ed by a strong bridge. 1 believe it is the only
weak place in the entire road. Honery passed
over it several times, and particularly examined it,
especially its bridge. I deemed it as one of the
most substantially built roads in the country. This
failure of the bridge has by no means changed my
opinion. It is a great mercy that the express train
just before passed safely. The owner of the cat
tle being in the third car when the bridge gave
way, took hold of two of his men, leaped from car
to car, and thus escaped with their lives.
New Patents.
" A patent has lately been taken out for making
clothespins. Think of that washerwomen. An
other for a machine to wash dishes. Think of that
lazy girls, who fear to soil your hands with the
dsh-cloth. Another for an improvement in sew
ing machines. Think of that ladies. Jo patent
has been granted for spinning street yarn. Think
of that gossips. An old bachelor looking over my
shoulder says this is a natural attribute of the
sex.

A Mother Killed hy her $011.
The borough of Birmingham, near Pittsburg,
was on Friday, thrown into a state of unusual ex
citement, on account of the following unnatural
murder :
It appears that a man named Richard Jenkins,
son of Edward Jenkins, of that borough, was seen
going into the house of his father in the afternoon,
where his mother was alone. He was seen a
short time afterwards cpming out. A brother went
into the house a few minutes after Richard left,
and found hi? mother's lifeless body on the floor,
and a large club along side. The brains were
knocked out, the jaw broken and other wounds
were discovered. The neighbors are unanimous
in the belief that Richard is guilty of the deed,
though no. one saw him strike the blow, He was
seen hastily walking away. He had not been ar
rested. The motives which prompted the act are un
known. It appears that he had on several occa
sions made desperate threats against thelives of
his mother and brothers that he threatened to kill
his mother .because she awakened him early in the
morning. Some think he is or was insane, but the
witnesses before the inquest considered him in his
right mind.
The Delegate from Wew Mexico lic
ensed a Seat in Ihe IIoiise---S!avery
Triumphant Northern " Dough
Faces."
r One of the most iniquitous and ynsciupulous
acts of the present session of Congress an act
that will brand it with infamy to all time, was
the refusal to allow Hugh N Smith, the Delegate
sent from New Mexico to represent the interests
of 90,000 people, to a seat in the House of Rep
resentatives. A letter of his addressed" to his
constituents, was read in the" House by a Slavery
propagandist, jnwhich Mr. S.adjMsed the people
of New Mexico to forma State, Constitution ex
cluding slavery. This was sufficient to put all the
slave-holders and their 'allies, the 14 Dough Fa:
ces" of the North against him." He was rejected
by 11 majority.
The following are the "Dough Faces" who vo
ted.against him. Those from Pennsylvania are in
capitals : .
Brown of Indiana, Bull, DIMMICK, Dunham,
Gerry, Garman, Harris, Hibbard, Leffler, Little
field, MAN, McClernand, Miller, Peaselee, Rich
ardson, Robbins, ROSS, STRONG, Sawtelle,
THOMPSON, Walden, Waldo, Whittlesey, Wil
drich. Young.
We rejoice in saying that there was not a north
ern Whig among the " Dough Faces." Whigs
never desert the cause of Freedom.
We call upon the people to look at this case of
slavery vindictiveness and outrage : by which 90,
000 people residing in a distant and exposed terri
tory of this Republic are refused a representative
in Congress! We Ttsk them to ponder upon it and
then act in conformity with their own natural un
biassed sense of duty and justice, when they are
called upou to exercise the elective franchise.
flection of JTudge Let the People
he on their Guard.
We call the attention of those in favor of the
election of Judges by the people, to the following
letter addressed to Samuel Parke, Esq. by two
members of the Philadelphia Bar, which discloses
a secret plot entered into for the purpose of de
feating, by a secret but extensive organization, the
proposed amendment of the Constitution, giving
the election of Judges to the people of the differ
ent districts.
Mr. Parke, being in favor of the amendment,
and opposed to the use of any secret or covert
means to defeat the wishes of the people, very
properly had the letter published in the Lancaster
Republican, that the fiiends of the measure, be
ing fore-wained might be fote-armed. We trust
that the attempt made to keep from the reach of
the people the right and privilege of choosing their
own Judges will awaken them to the importance
of the measure.
We have not the least fear that the influence or
intrigues, of those opposed to the people's electing
their own Judges, where known, will have any
other effect than to arouse the friends of the meas
ure and thus make it more sure. We know that
there are some, who still hold to the royal doc
trine that the people are not-fit to govern them
selves ; and there are others who desire to obtain
high places through Executive favor, which they
know that they never can reach through the peo
ple. The schemes of these will be exerted to the
utmost to prevent the selection of Judges from go
ing into the hands of those who elect our Presi
dents, Governors and other important .public offi
cers. But we shall not attempt to refute the
stale argument of prejudice, ignorance and aris
tocracy that the people are not fit to elect their
Judges or in other words, that they are incapa
ble of self-government. The time is rapidly ap
proaching when the Freemen of this Common
wealth will be called upon to decide whether they
consider themselves fit to elect their own Judges,
or not ; and we have no fears as to the result.
By a majority of not less than FIFTY THOU
SAND, they will put their slanderers to shame.
The proposed amendment to the Constitution will
be adopted the people have willed it and those
who calculate by secret organization, finesse and
intrigue to prevent it will find how hopeless was
the task how useless and contemptible the labor.
But we are glad that the plot has been discovered
and the warning gone forth. We know not to
what extent the scheme may have operated ; but
we feel quite certain that even if it had not been
disclosed, all the efforts of the conspirators would
have proved unavailing. They are now past the
least hope. But read the plan of secret organiza
tion. Philadelphia, July I9lh 1850.
Samuel Pare, Esq. Dear Sir. An opposition
is now being organized in various pait of the
State to the proposed Amendment of the Constitu
tion, by which the Judges are made elective ; and
it is intended to hold in the course of next month,
at some designated place, a small private meeting
to consist of two individuals only, one Whig and
one Democrat, from each judicial district, quietly
to consult upon, and arrange a plan of action for
the different counties. Owing to the circumstan
ces of this movement being entirely unconnected
with party politics, and to the natural indisposition
of most people to give themselves trouble about
what does not immediately or personally affect
them, we have in some instances, no easy or cer
tain means of ascertaining to whom we ought to
address .ourselves in order to the procuring in the
several distrits, persons to meet at the consulta
tion about to be held. Among the districts in
which we are thus at a loss is yours. Allow us
therefore to beg that you wjll do us the favor to
send, or if you prefer that course, to put this letter
into the hands of a friend, with a request that he
will send us the names of a Whig and Democrat
of your district whom we can rely upon to attend
at such a consultation, and afterwards, to aid in
giving effect to the measures which there may be
devised and determined on.

Manufactures at the South. .
: A New'Orleans'paperasks why it is thar.the
Northern States so far excel the South in all the
arts and comforts of life 1 the editor of Detroit
Free-Press, who spent five years in the most thri
ving village in Louisiana says and in this opinion
we concur it is owning to the neglect of manufactures.-
In the village. referred to,he says they,

sionally work for a few days and that was the ex
tent of the mechanical industry of the town. But
then they had three brilliard tables and six groce

playing, carousing and fighting. The usual course
of .trade has been to let the cattle grow up with
out much care to kill them without any stall feed
ingto leave the horns in the field to sell the
hides for a trifle, and, in a few months buy them
back in the shape of boots paying freigts back
wards and forwards, and profits everybody, who
had the industry to earn them. Bad crops are
reeable teachers, but their lessons. are
decidedly impressive,
As .the editor, whose, language we quote, ob
serves, the introduction of a single new application
of labor, however humble, will do more for the
true independence of the South than a .thousand
assemblages of politicians, who talk so much of

a little more of that homely but essential virtue,
Southern industry.
An Holiest Confession, &c.
Mr. Andrew Miller, a prominent Locofoco of
Philadelphia County, has published a communica
tion in the Philadelphia Ledger, over his own sig
nature, in which he says :
" It is a humiliating fact that the Democratic
party of the county of Phiadelphia is ruled by a
gang of men that deserve no other or better ap
pellation than PIRATES, for they exist by the
PLUNDER that they can reap, in disregard and
in violation of the cherished principles of the party
that gives them character and position."
The Miner's Journal says :,
The above is applicable to many other counties
besides Philadelphia, especially along the lines of
canals and railroads. Another specimen of "De
mocracy" is furnished in the person of John
Abrams, a delegate from Philadelphia to the Wil
liamsport Convention, who, since he assisted " in
nominating Morrison, Banks and Brawley, has
been tried for stabbing a man, convicted and sen
tenced to pay a fine of $500, and undergo a ser
vice of four years in the Eastern Penitentiary."
Letting out the Truth.
The ;josJ, ihe Locofoco organ at Pittsburg,
says
" During the last few years, we are sorry to
say, men have been elected and sent to our
Legislature, as Democrats, who shamefully,
wickedly and dishonesty betrayed their constit
uents, WHO COOLLY, DELIBERATELY VIOLATED
ALL THEIR PROMISES AND PLEDGES."

The JBqucstrian Balloon Ascent at
Paris.
We recently gave a paragraph from a French
paper, stating that M. Poitevin had made a balloon
ascension on horseback from Paris, on the 7th Ju
ly. It appeals from subsequent accounts that he
returned to mother earth safe and sound. The
following account of his Journey given by himself,
appears in the Constitutional :
'The atmospherical disturbance which manifest
ed itself immediately before my departure prevent
ed my noticing exactly the ascending force of the
balloon. Accordingly I measuied it upon suppo
sition, and so that I should be certain to ascend,
notwithstanding the resistance that might be of
fered by gusts of wind, which frequently blew in
a downward direction. My precautions were
more than sufficient, and I had some difficulty in
moderating the ascending force, which in a few
minutes carried me to such a height as proved too
great for the Jjprse. An abundant flow of blood
took place from his mouth; resulting from the in
terrupted equilibrium between the internal and ex
ternal pressure, by which man is less easily affec
ted than are other animals. I traversed several
current's of opposte directions, which occsioned
an almost continual rotary movement of the bal
loon. The cold was almost insupportable ; it is
true, however, that I wds very lightly clad. Far
above the clouds I saw several rainbows, and oth
er phenomena, caused by the decomposition of the
solar rays. Towards 7 o'clock I prepared to de
scend, and three-quarters of an hour after my
grappling-hooks were vainly dragging along the
surface of meadows and fields of corn, the fruit
trees which came in contact with the hooks being
dragged down or broken. Progressing in this way
along the surface of the ground, after a journey of
more than a league, I arrived, very much against
will, at a wood called the Bois de Villemain, near
the forest of La Lecheele, in the canton of Prie-Comte-Robert.
During the whole of this journey
my horse, as he passed over the corn fields,
snatched greedily at the tips of the herbage, and
even when grazing the tips of tall oaks he thrust
his nose into their foliage. At last, however, I
was fortunate enouge to put a stop to this perilous
mode of dragging along. 1 caught sight of a
dried-up pond, and on reaching the edge of it, and
grasping vigorously a sturdy branch of an oak, I
arrested for a short time the progress of the bal
loon. Assistance was soon lent me, forty hearty
follows seized the ropes of the machine, and
brought it within the circumference of the pond.
The ballon was then emptied, and the only mis
fortune I had to deplore was some slight injury
done to the balloon, in its contact with the trees."
The Constitutionnel adds that the intrepid aero
naut had not even lost the riding whip with which
he started on his daring trip. At Grjsy, near the
spot where he alighted, a grand ball was givqu,
and M- Poitevin was introduced into the ball-room
mounted tn his charger,

''fh Riot in a Church. A serious disturbance took
place ima Catholic Church in Third street, New
York city, on Monday night last. According to
the statement in the papers of that city, the priest
of that parish had two cart loads of unmade gar
ments taken to the church, to be distributed a
mongst the tailors of the congregation not engaged
in the Strike.' When the tailors in the neighbor
hood, who are most part Germans, heard of this
they marched into the church and put the priest
and his congregation to flight. The rumor having
been spread that the church was attacked, large
numbers collected about the church, and there
was, a ; serious riot. There was an attempt to burn
the chapel. The Chief of the police with a posse
of men arrested seven of the ringleaders.
Liberal Contentions.
The citizens of Philadelphia have contribu
ted very liberally towards the relief of ihe suf
ferers by the late great fire in that city. The
Inquirer says the amount recived by private
subscription up to the close of last week, was
$22,454. The City subscribed $10,000, and
the Noithern Liberties $10,000 in addition,
making over $42,000. The gross amount will
no doubt reach $50,000, by ihe time the sub
scriptions are concluded.
. Philadelphia's indeed one ofihe raobt gen
erous and benevolent cities of ihe Union. She
well meits the title of the " City of Brotherly
Love."
Trouble In the JLocofoco Wigwam.
There is trouble in the Locofoco Wigwam of
Westmoreland, Bedford and Cambria. Two
Locofoco candidates have been placed in the
field for Congress. The conferees could not
agree and separated ; when the three Cambria
and two Bedford men organized and nominated
Gen. Jos. M'Donald of Cambria for Congress.
Subsequently the Westmoreland conferees
and one from Bedford, organized and nominated
Alexander M'Kinney of Westmoreland as tho
candidate. They are calling each other very
hard names now, and threatening terrible things,
but we believe it will all end in smoke. It
would be a blessing however, to the district and
the State, if it. resulted in the election of a
Whig Congressman.
Electors in Great Britain.
A Parliamentary paper has just been printed,
which shows the number of parliamentary elec

the registration of 1848 and 1849, and 1850.
In 1848-49 the total number was 1,041,203,
whilst in 1849-50 the number was 1,050,187,
in the United Kingdom. In England, on the
present registration, the number of voters is
839,797, and in Wales 48,019 ; in Scotland,
20,305; making the total of Gieat Britain,
978,121, and in Ireland, 72,066 ; making the

Horrible Clioiera Incident.
The Cincinnati Commercial of the 1 5ih, has
the following :
In one house on Sycamore street, above :he
canal, nine persons on Friday night lay sick
at the same lime with cholera, with none to
aitend them ! When visited by the health of
ficer on the day following, five were dead and
the rest dying ! The scene is desciibed as
horrible. The honse was a low dingy, dark,
unvemilated and filthy rookery, seemed a pent
up box of every putrefactious order known,
such as would start cholera into life had cholera
never existed. Upon the floor lay a dead man
wallowed in filth, upon a bed two others in tho
sleep of death, with features distorted by the
throes of departing life, and in an adjoining
room lay two more dead and four dying ! . The
picture is too horrible to dwell upon. The or
der of the Board of Health was nine coffins,
and the story is told.
