The Opposition arc not without their dis tensions, and it is highly probable that the Know Nothings and Black Republicans will not fight under the sameflag during the great struggle next fall. The Tyrone Star and several other Know Nothing Papers, have al ready stated in language not to be misun derstood, that they are not willing that they andjtheir party shall be made to play "sec ond fiddle" to the Black Republicans during the Presidential contest. They arc unwilling to sustain the fanatical principles of Black Republicanism, while'their principles are ig nored. The Republican leaders will proba bly find ere the campaign is over, that Sam is not quite as dead as they think he is. The indications are, that be will soon be alive and kicking vigorously. The Star is down on the sympathizers of the Murderer John Brown, and repudiates the 'irrepressible con flict doctrine of Senator Seward. It also contends that the Republican party is not in favor of extending adequate protection to American industry, which is strictly true, and susceptible of the clearest proof. We despise the principles of the Know Ni th'ng party, but candor compels us to ac knowledge, that during the dajs of its might and power, Jit was a National Party. It ex isted as an organization in every State of this Union, and was powerful in the North and South. It never interfered with Slavery m the States, or opposed its extension to the Territories. On the contrary, like the Dem ocratic Party, it professed to know no North do South under the constitution. It is there fore unnatural, thai those who still profess to belong to it, and to uphold its principles, should unite with, or in other words allow themselves to be absorbed into a purely sec tional party, whose real object is the total abo lition of slavery in the United States a par ty, the prominent members of which gave aid and comfort, and afterwards tears of sym pathy, to the traitor, murderer and fiend in carnate Old John Brown. To do so, would be to belie all their professions of attach ment to the constitution in former campaigns. In New York the party ha3 refused to unite with the Black Republicans, and we think it will act in an equally independant and spirit ed manner in this State. We never had, we confess, much confidence in the patriotism of Sam and his followers. Their bigoted prin ciples, render it impossible, for the senti ments of pure and enlightened patriotism to find place within their breasts. But a por tion of them, that portion composed of those who still remain true to their "first love," we believe comprehend the true value of the Un ion, and that it would not in all probability survive the election of a Black Republican President next fall. They know that it has been and is a blessing to them, and that if preserved, it will after they shall have disap peared from the stage of human action, be a copious fountain of blessings to their children They know that in the event of a civil war between the North and the South, they would not only suffer severely pecuniarly, but that the lives of themselves and families would also be endangered. Knowing theso things, we cannot believe that they will consent to "fall into ranks" will those "who carry the flag, and keep etep to the music of disun ion." The Black Republican Orators and Editors committed a great blunder when they declar ed old John Brown a hero and martyr in a noble and philan trophic cause, and we are not astonished that many of them are already anxious to cease talking about him. Their endorsement of treason and murder, of a wholesale scheme to massacre the white inhab itants of the Southern States, will not be for gotten by the people during the coming cam paign. The conservative men of the country are fat determining to unite, and at the bal lot box next November, crush out the foul and loatbsorao spirit of sectionalism. They have it in their power to save the Union and deal a death blow to Abolitionism, and we are con fidant they will do bo. The sun of Black Republicanism is ut hastening to its setting. In less than two years that party will in all probabiht be as powerless for good or evil, as the Know Nothing party now is. fg- J. S. Wigfall is the name cf the new U. S. Senator from Texas. Tax Spkakership. It was thought at one time last week, that a formidable effort would be made to elect John Hickman, of this State Speaker. It was believed that by withdraw ing Sherman, the entire Republican. Anti Lecompton and South American vote could be concentrated in favor of Hickman. How ever the respectable Americans and Anti-Le-comptonites refused to become parties to the arrangement, and so the scheme was a perfect fizzle. We are glad of this. .' Any man but a renegade and traitor for Speaker. Sher man is bad enough, bnt Hickman is a thou sand degrees worse. And yet, a certain Democratic (?) organ, not a hundred miles from Ebensburg. is either afraid or unwilling to denounce him as a traitor to Democratic principles. Z3T John A.Blair, Esq., on last Thurs day, entered on the discharge of the duties of the office of County Treasurer, to which he was elected last fall. To those who know Mr. Blair, it is unnecessary for us to say, that he will be a prompt, honest, punctual and accommodating officer. He has now hosts of friends and we predict he will have more of them when his term of office expires. George J. Rodgers, Esq , the retiring officer, is universally spoken of in the highest terms, by those who transacted business with him as an officer As a gentleman and bueines man, he has no superior in the county. S- Richard B M'Cabe. Esq , a promi nent citizen of Indiana County, died at his residence in Blairsville, on the? 10th inst.. aged about G5 years. He was a lawyer but never, we believe, turned bis entire attention to the practice of his profession. He was possessed of rare abilities as a writer, and the productions of his pen seldom failed in attract ing tbe attention of the public. A correspondent of the Alleghanian "says he had been engaged upon a life of the Rev Mr. Galitzen, but we know not what progress he had made." It is certainly to be regretted that he did not live to complete the work. Peace to his ashes. C7",The Editor of the Alleghanian insin uated very gently last week, that we ought to be sent to h 1.

Paxton, Mr. Isaac Crawford, of Ebens burg, to Mbs Harriet Thomas, of Cambria township. Our friend Crawford has acted wisely, in taking one of Eves fairest daughters, to bo his friend, solace and companion during his journey through life, and he did well in invi ting his friends to meet him and bis-bride at the festive-board of the Logan Hf&atpo last Thursday evening. They, like true friends, were not backward in accepting the. invita tion. About one hundred "invited guests," reported themselves at the proper hour, and set down to a sumptuous banquet, the like of J which it will, we fear, nevor again be our good fortune to behold Luxuries and sub stantial were equally abundant, and the guests, unlike Jennie's beau, mentioned in Burns "Cotter's Saturday Night," did not require to bo prest to do justice to the "good things" of this life, so bountifully spread be fore them. Mr. Crawford informs us, that he confided the preparation of tho supper, and the other arrangements for the occasion entirely to the ladies he left in charge of his house during his absence, and, the manner in which they, discharged their dutieshows they are complete mistrc8ses of ta&4(3pbrtant but much neglected science of house-keeping. The next thing in order after supper was a meeting, which was organized in the parlor, by calling R. L. Johnston. Esq., to the chair and appointing Col. M. nasson. Secre tary. The Ebensburg Brass Band furnished the company with several tunes in their very best style. Several brief addresses were then delivered which were enthusiastically receiv ed Several songs were sung in excellent manner by Mr. T. M'Brecn and Mr. Oster loh, of nollidaysburg. Cast but not least, (no allusion to stature) Mr. George Barret appeared on the scene of action, guitar in hand. He sung several of his very best songs in his very best style, after which all present returned to their homes in excellent spirits, though not of the ardent kind for all were sober, very sober.

The ice in the Monongahela river gave a way early on Sunday morning. The river rose rapidly ; the ice came down in large Gelds, carrying all before it. The destruct ion of property from the first dam to tho point was heavy. On the Birmingham side there was scarcely a craft that was not swept away. Thirty bottoms of boats were counted by one person. The total number of every descrip tion that floated off could not have been less than fifty. Among them we note the follow ing : Messrs. Fawceet, of Birmingham, had fifteen empty boats swept away; a pair of bar ges fastened to one of the piers of the Mono gabeja bridge broke loose and floated off. A pair of model barges, owned by Capt, Mason and Mr. n. Murphy, also disappeared. They may be recovered between here and Wheeling, if they keep on top of the water. Mr. D. Bushnell lost six loaded coal bargas. The tow boat Lioness lost one loaded boat. Messrs. Riddle. Coleman fc Co.. had a pair of one hundred and sixty feet loaded boats carried off". The ferry boat Black Hawk was swept away from the foot of Liberty street. Messrs. O'Connor & Co. had a number of boats carried off. The hulls of the steamers Endeavor and Gazel took French leave, and disappeared from Birmingham. Besides what we have enumerated, many other persons have experienced a good deal of loss by the sudden rise. We could learn nothing from M'Kcesport, or other joints np the Monoga hela. It is barely possible that those'places could have escaped. Some of the boats that have been carried off may be recovered, but the largest portion will be torn to pieces and sunk. Last evening at twilight thero were seventeen feet six inches water and rising. The ice was beginning to thin out when we left the landing. True Press. Iady Franklin. Everybody must admit that Lady Frank lin is not ouly an amiable bat strong-minded woman, yet we have heard an anecdote of her sensibility which is deeply affectinz. A short time since, when her ladyship was wai ting most anxiously to learn the fate of the brave men she had despatched in search of her husband she fell ill, and a consultation of physicians was held at her residence. One of these gentlemen, whilst he felt her pulse, begged her ladyship would upon her hand. Her frequent refusal occasioned him so much disappointment in ascertaining- the precise state of her fever, that he took the liberty gently to expand tbe fingers and he then percieved that they were grasping a small miniature of Sir John. "Madam," ex claimed tbe gentlemrn, with deep sympathy Vmy prescription must be unavailing if you are determined to keep before your epes an object which, although deservedly dear to you, serves only to confirm the violence of your distressing symtoms " "Sir," replied the noble woman, "this picture has been my sole comforter ever since the departure of my husband, and I am determined it shall be in separable until, if he be dead, I am so happy aa to drop after him into the grave."

Be fore that event he had made a visit to Ken tucky, and was engaged in some severe fights there with the Indians. t& It appears from a recent Parliamenta ry return, that the whole amount of capital and leans authorized to be invested in rail ways in England previous to the last day of 1858, reached the sum of over fifteen hund red million dollars. The debts of British railways at the close of 1858, amounted to 408,415. S95. The number of miles of rail way actually opened and at work in Great Britain and Ireland, is 9,266 miles; the long est line is 910 miles. There, as here, rail roading has been overdone, and in hardly a single case is the stock remunerative. Col.

Lawbkxcs, Jan. 10. The Pemberton Mills fell in suddenly at about five o'clock this evening, while from six to seven hundred operatives were at work. The Mills are a complete wreck. It is supposed that from two to three hundred bodies are burled in the ruins It is impossible at present to give a correct account of the loss of life. Eighteen dead bodies have already been taken out, twenty-five mortally wounded, and fifty in different stages of mutilation. Tbe agent of tbe mills and the measurer escaped, by run ning from the falling building. It is impos sible yet to tell the cause of the fall of the building. The scene beggars description. Some two or more acres of ground are piled up with every description of machinery and fallen ruin. Huge bon-fires are burning, to afford light to some two or three thousand persons, who are working, as if for their lives to rescue the unfortunate, many of whom are begging to be released from their tortures by death. Every few minutes some poor wretch is dragged fiom his or her prison, uttering the most heart-rending cries, while being drawn out, with legs and arms crushed or tern to pieces One man, who was shockingly and still partially buried under the bricks, deliberately cut bis own throat. The whole wujr occuja vj uc ju a time ut mourning; many of the friends of the victims are running through the streete and with frantic cries are searching the ruins, while others stand look ing at the pile frigid with despair Tempo rary hospitals have been arranged fur those taken out alive. While the ruins were being cleared away, a portion of the mill?, which were still stand ing, fell with a terrible crash, threatening death to all who were still alive in the ruins. Gangs of men, with ropes, are constantly dragging out large pieces of the wreck which imprisons so many of the poor victims. Some of the rescuers were killed in their attempts to relieve the sufferers. Siuce we left the scene of disaster, reports are constantly coming in adding to the list of the deal and dyiog. Surgeons are coming from every quarter. Everything is being done for the suffering victims. The following details of the sad event have been collected. At about five o'clock this af ternoon the citizens of Lawrence were alarm ed by a cry of fire which proceeded from the Pemberton Mills, about four-fifths of which had fallen into a shapeless mass, without the slightest warning to nearly eight hundred be ings who were there at work. The building has never been considered staunch. It was built seven years since, and it was then considered a sham; iudeed, before tbe machinery was put in, tht walls spread to such a degree that twenty-two tons of stays had to be put in to save it from falling, The building appeared to crumble and tail first from the Eastern Corner. It fell iu wards, as if powerfully drawn that way. The firemen of the city at once repaired to the spot and set at work to remove the rub bish. They soon reached some of the rooms, so that i he dead and wounded were taken out as fast as possible. Charles Batchelor help ed to remove twenty six of the victims, some of whom were living, while others were dead or terribly mutilated. Messrs. Chase, Clark, Patterson, Melvin, and Winn, overseers and clerks, are safe. Mr. Branch, an overseer, has not yet been found, and it is supposed that he is lying under the ruins. The City Hall has been made a temporary hospital for the reception of the dead and wounded, where they will remain till recognized and taken care of by their friends. Scores have been recognized and taken to their homes. There are also twenty-two corpses, the fol lowing of which are only recognized; Mary M'Donald, Bridget Ryan, Mike O'Brian, John Dearborn, Margrct Sullivan, Mr. Pal mer. Mr. Palmer was deeply burned, and thinking that there was no prospect of his ex trication, cut his throat, but was extricated and lived some time after his arrival at the Hall. One woman in the portion of the mill that remained standing, iu her fright, threw out her bonnet and shall from the fifth story and then jumped from the window, breaking her aim and injuring herself so badly that she cannot recover. The laboring force of the mill numbered about nine hundred and sixty, and about seven hundred were actually buried in the ru ms A woman who has just been rescued says there were tome twenty-five more in the vicinity of tho place where she was buried, who were still alive. About half past nine o'clock to night a fire was discovered in the ruins. The additional horror, although somewhat apprehended, struck terror into the hearts of those who were before hopeful of saving some lives; still the work of removal went briskly on. Force pumps and engines have been pouring streams of water on the flames, so that, at the pres ent time, half past eleven o'clock, although the smoke and steam are rising, the fire does not seem to gain, and it is certainly to be hoped that it will be stayed. Those near the place where the fire commenced were at the point of extricating a woman not badly burnt but the flames drove them back, and she is supposed to have perished. The Mayor telegraphed to Lowell, and the firemen from that city will arrive about one o'clock. 12 o'clock, the whole mass of ruins is now in a sheet of flames The screams and moans of the mangled victims are heard distinctly, but no person can save them. The flame threaten the destruction of the Washington Mills, and the bridge across the river. - The Pemberton Mills is a flat smoking mass. It is feared that cot less than two hundred human beings perished in the flames. The fire made quick work, burning not only the main building, but also the materi als. - The Washington Mills are in great jeopar dy, the wind being in that direction. The Duck Mill counting room, which al most touched the Pemberton Mills, may also be sacrificed. Through the superhuman exertions of the fireman, the Washington Mills may be con sidered out of danger. The prospects for Duck Mill is not so good. Every thing is being done that can be done. Fremcn are present from all the neighboring towns. Be tween forty and fifty physioians arc in atten dance.
