FOR TUE DEMOCRAT & SENTINEL
i Superintendent's Office A. P. li. Ji.
Hollidaysburq, July 7th 1S5G. j
SIessrs. Editors:
From an article in your
paper of July 2, 185G, it is very plainly in
timated, that Mr. Sl'Gough came to his dcafh
from recklessness on the part of the Officers
and Employees of the A. 1. 11. R. AY bile I
sincerely sympathise with the friends and
neighbors of the lamented Mr. Sl'Gough, I
also feel it due to myself and the Engineer,
who was running at the time the accident oc
curred, to state, that no blame could be at
tached to him. We have our schedule of
time for the running of our trains, the engine
was on her time, she was backing down to
hitch to some coal trains, her tank was full of
wood and the men on her, could not see the
Hand Car, or know that there was any thing
on the track until the car was struck. Mr.
M'Gough was a foreman of a Division on the
Road, and was acquainted wilh the time the
trains passed over his division, and should not
have permitted his men to put the hand car
on the track iu traia time. I kuowl am safe
in saying, that there is not an engineer run
ning on the A. P. 11. It. that would carelessly
or knowingly, run over any man, or any thing
else that would endauger life or destroy prop
erty. But we have our regulations, and if
men will neglect to observe them, there is no
other alternative left, than for them to abide
by the consequences. After collecting all the
facts of the case I have been constrained to
publish the foregoing statement in order that
the public may know the facts in relation to
this lamentable accident.
- Wm. S. CALOHAN, Sup't.
We cheerfully give place to the above card, and
are ph ased to see that the superintendent is dis
josed to examine itto tue matter to which it has
reference. We will be further Jleasel if he will
make that examination thorough, searching, and
atUfactory to the public. We are no friends to
the no blame to ony bedy " system, lut
think that very many so called unavoidable ac
cidents can be traced to negligenco. Our dutv to
the public, compels ua to review the card, or at
least some portions of it. In regard to the sche
dule of time for ho running of the trains we would
sk, was a copy of such schedule ever furnished
to the division foreman ? We ar informed, and
if incorrectly, we shonld like to be set right; that
the Locomotive which towed the coal trains,
(which was the one causing the accident.) was
directed, by schedule, to remain at No. 4, on the
morning of each day, until the freight trains from
the west had all passed up. On the day of the
accident tiie trains from tho west iud not all pass
ed up : B. Sl'Connell oueof th engineers, passed
up some time after the accident happened. We
are also informed, that previously to the accident
the engine towing the c-al trains, was in tho lab-
it of backing down th rvnrunor un imxl- ml
0 O t - . n i-fv
that a few days before, the engineer had caution
ed the bauds employed on that division, against
running their hand car on the coming up track,-
and had directed them to use the other, or going
dovn track, fur their necessary transportation
Kill
BRIDGE
from point to poiut on the division. .Under this
state of facts, we cannot see that those using the
hand car were grcviously in the wrong : they
could not use the coining up track, because the
freight trains had not all passed up, and besides,
they had been cautioned from using it by the en
gineer of the engine which caused the accident,
and they did not expect that engine to back down
until all the freight trains had passed up.
The engine when backing down, was without
a load ; before reaching thepiece of straight track
on which the accident occurred a curve has to be
passed : in passing this curve, it is customary for
the engineers on the Portage lload, or has been
hitherto, to run cautiously, keep constantly on
the look out, and to sound the alarm whistle j
whether these precautions were observed in thij
instance, we cannot say." It is said that the cnr
gine was running at a rapid rate; Sir. Calohan
says that "her tank was full of wood, and the
men on her could not see the hand car, or know-
that there was anything on the track, until the
car was struck." Why could they not see the
track? Is it possible that Mr. Calohan permits
locomotive engineers to run on a track which they
cannot see ? We had supposed that one of the
principle cares of an engineer was to keep a look
out, aud see that the track was clear, that there
was no obstacle to prevent lis going ahead. We
appeal to Sir. Calohan's ' own good sense, that
there ia nothing taj prevent an engineer from
commanding a view of the track, when straight
as in tills case, ever when backing down. Let the
tank be ever so full of wood, the engineer is still
enabled from his position to "look over, or at least
to the side of it. What was the all engrossing
occupation of the men on that engine, that they
had not time to attend to one of. the plainest and
most impoitant duties, and sec that the track was
clear ? WTiy did not the engineer look in the di
rection in which he was going, and not back at
that portion of track already passed over 1
We need not to multiply words. If we "inti
mated " that a melancholy event occurred " from
recklessness," we think that Sir. Calohan has
proved it, when he says that the aien on the en
gine could not see the car or know that there was
anything on the track, when they were running
with an empty engine, in broad daylight, down a
grade, and certainly had nothing to do but
watch the track. We would not envy the en
gineer who came before twelve men, with no bet
ter excuse. We should like to know if it is
part of the regulations on tht Portage lload that
the engineers should run without watching the
track.
In relation to this matter we had a duty toper
form to the public ; and however unpleasant, we
dare not shrink from it. We suggested that an
investigation was advisable; we now, since pub
lication of the above card, know it to bo necessa
ry. Sir. Calohan owes it to himself, as well as to
the public that a searching examination be made.
The officer who tolerates carelessness and negli
gence, to use no harsher word is equally, respon
sible with him who is actu ally guilty.
Fourth of July. The 80th anniversary
of our National Independence was duly cele
brated throughout the county, and at the sev
eral celebrations, we learn that everything
passed off with much satisfaction.
In Ebensburg. There was quite a display
made by the scholars of the several Sunday
schools who marched in procession to the In
dependent church, and in which there were
over 500 children. Here addresses were de
livered by the Rev'ds Messrs Powell, Piatt,
and Harbeson, after which entertainments
were served up to the children at the different
schools, where all enjoyed themselves to their
heart's content
In the evening the older folks found much en
joyment in the large " cotillion party" which
came oil' at Litzingent, and where every arrange
ment was made by " Charlie " to render this
fourth of July dame one long to l.e remembered.
At Johnstown a most imposing display was
made by the "Odd-Fellows" who celebrated the
day by a procession, and a dinner. There were
ten lodges, numbering over five hundred members
of the order, who with their rich regalia made a
fine appearance. After parading through the
different streets under the direction of John Flan
agan Esq., as Chief Sl.nshal, aided by four assis
tants, the order marched Jo tho Slethodist Church,
where tho Declaration r.f Independence was read
by John P. Linton Esq., and a.i address de
livered by Past Grand Slitchill'of Butler, Pcnna.
They then proceeded to the Arcade Hotel where a
most sumptuous dinner was served bv Henry
Foster. The music of the Welsh Brass B.md.ancl
the martial music, by which rhc procession was
accompanied added much to enliven the occasion
aud nothing occurred to mar the festivities of the
day.
There was also a large processus of Iri.-Ji and
German citizens, headed by the American flag
ind German Brass Band, who after parading the
streets celebrated the day in a becoming manner.
A procession of Sunday School Scholars num
bering over five hundred marched to a grove near
Kernville, and spent the day in much enjoyment.
There was also a celebration in Judge Slurray's
wood by the members of the Catholic Church
and their families, where addresses were delivered
and the day passed pleasantly.
The account of the celebration at Hemlock will
Iks found in another column. At the Summit,
Chest Springs, Carrolltown, Cherry Tree, and
other places .where the day was celebrated We
have not received full accounts, but it is gratify
ing at this time to see so general a turn out of the
people to celebrate the birthday of the Nation.
Delec.ate Elections. It will be seen by
the call in this week's paper that the election
for delegates to the Democratic County Con
vention will take place upon the 26th inst ,
and that the Convention will be held on the
29th.
We hope that the Democrats of the several
districts will stir themselves so as to secure a
full turn out at tho polls, and that every dis
trict in tho county may have a voice in the
formation of a ticket, in the suDnort of wWh
all can rally at the ensuing election with th
certainty of success.

clining a re-nomination for Assembly and with
drawing his "name from the list of candidates.
There are many friends throughout this county
and the District, who will regret to hear of this
determination of Slaj. B. During his term of
service, no man can point to a single stain upon
his character as a man; or as a. representative.
He made an excellent member and was deserved

Spkecii of Wm. Li. Heed, Esq. We call
the attention of our readers to the epeech of
this gentleman at the Philadelphia ratification
meeting. . Mr. Reed has heretofore been re
garded as one of the most active and leading
Whigs of the State, and occupie'd the position
as the last chairman of tho - Whig State Com
mittee. . He" is a lawyer of much ability and
of high standing in the city of Philadelphia.
Devoted as he has been to the old Whig party?
and beiufr th warm mend of Clay and Web
ster, as supporters of the Constitution of his
country, he cannot consent to follow in the
wake of the Black Republicans, or to be con
trolled by the midnight Know Xothing order;
he has therefore boldly came , out m favor .of
Ruchanan and Breckinridge, regarding ihe
Democratic party as the only Constitutional
party in' the Union. His example will be
folbwed by thousands of others, and we com
mend his remarks to the Old line Whigs of
this region of country. 1

The Bill of Peace.
Wc publish again to-day the bill introduced
in the Senate by Judge Douglas, and which
has already passed that body. It is now be
fore the House. If th Republicans in the
House refuse to pass that bill they will prove
themselves far greater rascals than the "bor
der ruSiaus." It is a bill of peace. It does
all that any reasonable man can ask. It an
nuls the objectionable laws ; abolishes the test
oaths", and the capitation tax. It allows en
tire freedom of speech and the press on the
question of slavery. It fixes the right day
for the election in the Territory the day
when Missourians will want to be at home at
their own election. It provides for commis
sioners to make out an accurate list of legal
voters. It requires three months actual resi
dence to entitle one to . a vote. It provides
punishments for illegal voting. And it au
thorizes the use of military force to prevent
all frauds and violence.
What more can any one ask. Reeder and
others assure us that the free State men out
number the pro-slavery men three to one.
What then will be the result of this bill if it
passes ? A new free State next winter. , Now
when such a measure of peace and justice is
offered to the country; we are told by tho
.Abolitionists of the House that they will refuse
to pass it ; or will incumber it with amend
ments that the Senate cannot accept. In
other words the lilack Republican majority
in the House must defeat that bill in "some
way or all their electioneering thunder is gone;
and they as a party have not a plank left to
stand upon. Let us see now if the dema
gogues dare do so infamous au act If so,
they alouc arc the guilty party, aud the whole
country will so understand it. - :
Remember, a Democratic Senate has pass
ed the bill the abolitionist Senators voting
against it. ' The Sewards, the Sumners the
Hales opposiSg a bill that would give" peace
to Kansas, and make it a free State in a few
months if they have not lied to us about the
state of the parties in the Territory. This
bill tests . the honest y of the agitators, and
throws all the odium upon them if they dare
defeat it. ' '-' , .
We think, however, that some of the abo
itionists in the House are honest, aud that
the bill will pass, and be signed by tho Presi-dent.-r-Pittsburg

A Congressman must .be elected this fall,
from our district, to fill the place of John R.
EdieEsq. The importance of securing suc
cess to the democratic party, by a judicious
nomination, is apparent. Under the old party
organizations, the right of public opinion in
the district, was against the democracy; . .This
is sufficient to convince the party that to at
tain success they must make a nomination;
"which," besides uniting the party vote would,
by ite ability and good standing, draw to its
support elements, now within strict democrat
ic lines The ticket should not only be avail
able but pre-eminently capable so as to-rest
as well upon its own personal merits as upon
the strength of its party.

EBENSBURG.
Celebration at Hemlock.
The citizens of Hemlock and vicinity cele
brated the anniversary of the glorious 4th in
a spirited and agreeable mariner. . In the
forenoon, the Washington Rifles paraded, ac
companied by the celebrated Newry Brass
Band, and the Loretto Martial Band. The
parade and various manoeuvres, deploying,
firing, &c. passed off in a manner creditable
to this fine company, and showed that the
military spirit still burns bright and strong
on our mountains.
At one P. SI., the Rifles" and many of
the citizens partook of a splendid entertain
ment prepared for tho occasion, by Mr !t
Mrs, Richard Trotter, everything was of the
best, the board groaned with plenty, and anir
pie justice was done to the good thiugs by the
partakers. After the repast, a procession was
formed and proceeded to a beautiful grove on
the lands of Paul George. Esq: The proces
sion marched as follows : First, the . Star
Spangled Banner, next, the two Bands, then
the Ladies of Hemlock and vicinity, who mus
tered in strong numbers, looking their best
and prettiest; next, the orators of the day,
then the military and citizens.
Upou reachiug the grove, the officers of
the day were selected. .
President JOHN KERR
Vice Presidents Augustin Little, John
Scott, A. F. Cantwell. and F. M George.
Secretaries C. H. Brady, D. Caldwell and
J. W. Short.
The Declaration of Independence was then
read by Dr. Win. A. Smith. When conclu
ded, Dr. Smith made a very impressive ad
dress to the numbers congregated. He gave
a historical exposition of the circumstances of
the Colonies previous to, and at the time of
the Declaration ; commented upon the diffi
culties surrounding those who prepared and
signed that matchless instrument. Amcug
the many points which he enforced with rare
ability, he discussed that paragraph of the de
claration wherein the King of England is
charged with endeavoring to prevent the pop
ulation of these States, by obstructing the laws
for the naturalization of foreigners. He re
marked upon the coincidence of sentiment be
tween the British tyrant of that day, and a
certain tyrannical exclusive political organi
zation in this ; showing that, as " there is no
thing new under the sun," so the enemies of
American Liberty and prosperity, who at this
day are boasting of their new fangled doc
trines, have yet done nothing but vamp up the
despotic measures of old King George.
Dr. Smith was followed by C. D. Murray,
Esq., who made a stirring appeal to the peo
ple to rally in the support of the Constitution
and Laws, attacked and undermined on all
sides by open and concealed traitors. - He
sternly reviewed the corrupt principles and
treacherous designs of the enemies of the Re
public. Michael Dan Magehan, Esq next addres
sed the numerous assemblage. His remarks
went to the heart of every one present. He
described the labors of the Revolutionary He
roes ; drew a graphic picture of their toils,
their sufferings and their sacrifices, from the
terrible, winter at X alley Forge until the final
triumph at Yorktown. He admonished against
that lukewarm patriotism which would suffer
these glorious recollections to be forgotten,
when their memory should be ever bright.
He urged the study of Washington's actions
and examples. His summing up and eulogy
of that perfect character was masterly.
When these excellent speeches were con
cluded, the regular and volunteer toasts were
read, and the procession returned to the vil
lage in the same order as before., The pro
cession was imposing it was a scene not ,to
be forgotten by our community. The' day
was magnificent the ky unclouded. The
Sun shone brilliantly, gilding with lustre the
glorious folds of the Stars and Stripes, and the
polished arms and gay uniforms of the milita
ry, the smiles of the ladies, the inspiring
strains of the musio, lent a peculiar grace and
animation to the scene.' Nothing occurred
to interrupt for a' moment the harmony, and
the crowd dispersed in quiet and good order,
having well and appropriately spent a happy
day. ' - . .. ' . .

Tiie Iron Mountain in. Cambria Our
Former Notice of it Corroberated. Some
weeks since we published an account of the
mineral deposit on the land of Thomas B.
Sloore, Esq., of Ebensburg, as we received
it from Sir. James Slorley, who had exami ned
the deposit. Since then we have received the
following statement from Sir. Wratkin Jones,
whose whole life has been spent in mining and
superintending mines in both Europe and A
merica, and whose knowledge of mining an d
of the quality and-value of mineral deposit s
cannot be surpassed ... Sir. Jones carefully
examined the deposits, and describes them as
given below, which more than corroborates
the statement of Sir. Slorley. He says it is
the'inost extraordinary mineral deposit that
he has ever seen. He also describes the wa
ter power at the spot to be unsurpassed, there
being sixty feet fall in a distance of one hun
dred and fifty yards.
Sir. Jones describes the different veins in
the hill as follows :
At the water level of the creek, a coal vein
six feet six inches ; eighty feet above it is a
cement vein two aud a half feet, upon which
is a coal vein of two feet ; thirty feet above it
is a vein of limestone ore two feet nine inches;
twelve feet above that is a coal vein three feet
six inches ; seventy feet above it is the Johns
town vein of ore four feet six inches ; forty

The Bill of Peace. "
Sir. Douglas has introduced a bill in the
Senate, which will pass both houses, and set
tle the Kansas difficulty fairly. No one can
object to it. Here are its provisions :
- ' THE ADMISSIO.V OF KANSAS.
Sir. Douglas, from the Committee on Ter
ritories, to which was referred the various
bills relative affairs in Kansas made a vol
elaborate argument in favor of the neTl
uminous report on tuo fcubject. It contains

the appointment of .fva Commissioners, to be
selected by the President from different sec
tions of the Union, to represent fairly all po
litical parties. : They shall take a census of all
the legal voters in the. Territory,' and make a
fair apportionment of delegates to be elected
by each county, to form a constitution and in
stitute a State government "When the ap
portionment shall be made the Commissioners
are to remain in session every day, except Sun
day, at the place most convenient for the in
habitants of said Territory, to hear all com
plaints, examine witnesses, and correct all er
rors in said list of voters, which list shall be
previously printed and generally circulated
through the Territory, and posted in at least
three of the most public places of each election
district; and so soon as all the errors have
been thus corrected in said lists, the Commis
sioners are requested to cause a corrected list
of the legal voters to" be printed; and copies
furnished to each Judge of election, to be put
up at the places of voting, and circulated in
every county in the Territory before the day
of election no person to be allowed to vote
whose name does not appear on the list as a
legal voter ; the election for delegates to take
place on the day of the Presidential election,
and the Convention to assemble on the first
Monday in December to decide,, first, whether
it be expepicnt for Kansas to come into the
Union at that time, and if so decided, to pro

provides punishment for illegal voting, fraud
and violence at elections, and authorizes. the
use of the military for that purpose Tho
main point is, that the persons designated by
the census as the prescut inhabitants of the
Territory, shall decide all poiuts in dispute at
a fair election, without fraud or violence, or
any other improper influence. All the white

Sir. Douglas gave notiee that he would ask
for a vote ou the bill on Wednesday.
Mr. Fillmore on Black Republicanism.
The following extract from Sir. Fillmohe's
speech at Albany, shows that he entertains
the same views of the inevitable consequences
of the success of the Black Republicans
that have recently been expressed in our col
umn? :
But this is not all, Sir. Tie see a Jiti-,'

only, aud rideorer the whi'lc Cuffed States
Can it be possible that tho-se who are engaged
in such a measure can have seriously reflected
upon the consequences which must iuevitabl
follow in case of success? Cheers. Can
they have the madness or the folly to believe
that our Sonthi rn Irtthrcn trotdd submit tobe
governed by such a Chief Magistrate?
Cheers. Would he be required to follow
the same rule proscribed by those who elected
him in making appointments? If a man liv
ing south of Slason and Dixon's line be not
worthy to be President or Vice President,,
wouldit be proper to select ouc from the same
quarter as one ot his Lajnuet Council, or to
repiesent the nation m a foreign country? Or
indeed to collet-
the revenue, or administer
the laws of the United Slates ? If not, what
new rule is the President to adopt in selecting
men for office that the people themselves dis-s
card in selecting him ? These are serious,
but practical questions, and. in order to appre
ciate them fully, it is only necessary to turn"
the tables upon ourselves SujjKse thut the
SouOi Juu-ing a majority cf the Electoral
rotes should declare that they would only hare
shareholders for President and Vice President;
and should tlect such Ly their exclusive suffra
ges to rule orer us at thc North. Do you
think ice would submit to it f A'o, not for a
moment. Applause. Aud do you believe
that your Southern brethren are less sensative
on this subject than you are, or less jealous
of their rights? Tremendous cheering. If
you do, let me tell you that you are mistaken.
And, therefore, you must see that if this sec
tional party succeeds, it leads inevitably to
the destruction of this .beautiful fabric reared
by our fathers, cemented by their blood, and
bequeathed to us as a priceless inheritance.
The Dews from all parts of Pennsylvania is of
the most cheering character. Everywhere the
old lice Whigs are wheeling into the Demo
cratic ranks, with a determination to do all
they can for the Democratic State Ticket as
well as for the nominees of the Cincinnati Con
vention. Pennsylvania will give such a ma
jority next fall for the Democratic ., ticket aa
will astonish even the most ardent and san
guine friends of the good old party. In a leU
ter dated Northumberland, June 28, 1856,
the .writer says:. "We have organized a
very large club hero. Several old line Whigs
are in with us, and we expect more to oin.
We will have a much larger majority in Nor
thumberland this fall than wc ever had before.
I attended a pole raising at Milton a week
ago, and I was rejoiced to find so much ; en
thusiasm, and such a large tura-rout. a here,
were many old line Whigs present who had
come out for Pennsylvania's Favorite Son. In
fact, there are many throughout Northumber-.
land. Union, Snyder and SI on tour counties
who have openly declared for him." Such h
the news from different parts of Pennsylvania.
The nomination of Buchanan and Brrckin
ridoe has inspired an enthusiasm such as baa
