Trouble In theWiffwam.
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. Reason he likes
us so well, he wants to have the pleasure of
our company in the next world. That. Mr.
Editor, is a pleasure you will never enjoy.
But if we should in the world to come have
an opportunity to bring you a drop of water or
something else to quench your thirst, you may
rely on our doing so cheerfully.

Married At the Scctt House, in Pittsburg
on Tuesday evening the 10th inst., by the Rev.
W. M. 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. " In coocfoaion we
have only to say that we hope Mr. Crawford
and his amiable bride, may always be as hap
py as thy made their friends on last Thurs
day evening.

Great Destruction of Proptrtf
The Ice in the JJonongahela Carrying all
Before itLoss Heavy.
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.

brave men she had despatched in search of

of physicians was held at her residence.
One of these gentlemen, whilst he felt her
pulse, begged her ladyship would upon her

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.

HORRID CASUALTY tt
falling in of Pemherton Cotton Milts, at
Lawrence, Miss Seven Hundred Opera
tive Buried in the Jluins. Tico Hundred
Lives Lost.
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
