endeavoring to get off the node on to n pile

B,A D ACCIDENT.—An accident hap
pened to one of the burden trains on the
rail road as it was entering town on Thurs
day, which resulted in serious though forth.
!lately not fatal injuries . to two of the con
ductors. It seems that a large piece of wood.
a piece of a 'romper - or platform, Ivhich
had fallen from a car in a preceding train
was lying across the track, which the En
gineer was preventedfrom seeing in time to
hold up, owing to the curve in the track at
that point. The engine run against it with
a tremendous crash and the severity of the
concussion was felt and caused a panic
throughout the whole train. Most of the
condi - iCtors however remained steadfast in
their places, but two of them, Jesse Brown,
of Carlisle, and a Mr. Paige, of Shippens
burg, leaped front the train, thinking proba
bly that it would be inevitably thrown off
the track and turned over the embankment
which is not less than twenty feet at that
point. As a 'consequence teley were both
severely injured. Mr. Paige was stunned
and munch bruised, but was soon afterwards
able to walk. Mr. Brown was more serious
ly injured, having one of his legs broken in
two places mid one of his arms broken,
while his body wits also much bruised. Ile
was carried to his residence and medical
treatnient immediately procured. - we are
glad to hear that he is now in a fair tray of
re ovary.

QUIT MAN GUARDS. -
The Editor of that "Ilmous sheet, the
Gleaner, has seen proper to reply at great
le•gth to an article in the Herald signed by
A Sergeant; and fir the benefit of the edi
tor, and the information of his numerous
readers, we submit the following.
The Quitman Guards, who, are composed
principally of new membrs, who make no
pretensions to any great Military skill, went
to 'Mechanicsburg, nut to make a display,
but merely for the encouragement of its
members. 'And the Editor of the Gleaner
knowing these filets, we do think has' acted
very unjustly and uncharitably in expOSing
their want of experience to the whole coin-
•
umnity
We think if the editor had the prudence
which should characterize a man moving in
his sphere, he would have"been mute on the
subject, even 'admitting there was room for
criticism, and every word which he said was
"strictly true:"
Again, the editor Should have come out
and made an honorable defence relatilTto
the charges preferred against the manner in
which his paper is published. But instead
of doing this he has most cowardly resorted
to a paltry trick of sophistry by dodging the
point at issue, and diverting the ,eader to
his profound knowledge and shill in military
tactics, and the nuincrous and mighty "cvo
intim;s" which he has had
,the good fortune
to witness. We do not presume to doubt
that he knows a thousand times inore about
drilling soldiery, than he dues about printing,
judging from his weekly half shi'ds. But
he does us the kindness to say that we are
about as competent to judge of his qualifi
cations as a printer, as we are to drill a com
pany. As to this very ingenious remark we
would simply reply, that any school boy a
' hove "tlu•'ee feet high," who has ever seen a
newspaper in his life, would be amply quali
fied to judge the merits of the Gleaner.—
And we are confident that; if the question
were put to tke community at large, whrther
(he Gleaner tcas not. a disgrace to the Edikw,
as well as to Mechanicsburg, they would an
swer,ip.the affirmative ill thunder tones that
would so deafen the Editor, that he would
nut be able to hear his dinnnr bell fir a week
hence.
Anal finally, we would suggest that if the
Editor cannot contain himself any longer,
but must give vent to his superabundant
store of military information, we extend to
him a most cordial invitation to conic t 9 .
Churchtowa on the. 25th tast y et which time
the "Guards" will again turn out, and we
will be most happy to have his much needed
services on the occasion.
