The Wheat Crop.—We see by the record
bat Pensylvania is our greatest, wheat State,
and estimated to raise this year 18,260,000
bushels; Ohio is next, raising 16,800,000;
New York is next, raining 16,200,000; Illinois
next, raising 14,600,000; Wisconsin, 14,000,-
000 ; and Virginia raises 12,500,000.

ser The Albany Evening Journal shows,
from the canvass in most of the counties in
New York, that the Democrats and Filmore
men coakviced on Congress and Assembly in
at least half the State. In many cases the
union was complete, all found on the local
-candidates. But in about every instance, these
coalitions were defeated.
'Another of the Bets.— At Chicago a most
singular bet was made upon the presidential
election by a German, who bet his house, lot
and wife and baby, that Fremont would be e•
lected. After hearing the result, he took bin
deeds, wife and child and made a tender of all
in good faith. But his friend, having one wife
and five children, refused to increase his stock
in that way, and therefore declined to take
the poor man's family and property, but gave
'lint a piece of advice, took a drink of beer,
and they parted good friends.

DEATH OP AN OLD PENNSYLVANIA.—Jacob

Harrisburg, died very suddenly on Tuesday
evening last. He was reading a letter to his
son, and seemed in good health, when his arti.
culation ceased, his head fell forward, and be
fore his eon reached him he was dead. At the
time of his death he was President of the Har..
rishurg Bank, acd also of the Harrisburg
Bridge Company. He was considered one of
the wealthiest men in the State.

The Railroad Collision at Alliance—
Eight Lives Lost.
PITTSBII., Dec. 9.
About half-past 7 o'clock last evening, the
Cleveland and Pittsburg train ran through the.,
Pittsburg, 'Fort Wayne and Chicago train at
Alliance, smashing two cars of the latter train.
One of the cars was thrown into the rotunda of
the station, and the other through the public
room which constitutes part of Sowerbeck's ho
tel, in which several persons were sitting. The
rotunda and slain.' room were both-torn down
killing eight and wounding a number of per
-110118.
Most of the kiled and wounded were not on
the cars, but were sitting in the public room
when the accident occurred.
The train which left Pittsbutg at 3, r,
yesterday, arrived at Alliance behind time.
The passengers had just got through their sup.
pars, and the train had barely started and got
across the track of the Junction when the
Cleavelaud train came dashing along, and he.
fore headway could be stopped, the collision
occurred.
Sowerbeek's rotunda, into which the car
went, presents the appearance of n total wreck.
It is said the engineer of the Cleveland and
Pittsburg thiin has absconded.
SECOND DESPATCH.
Pirrseuna, Dec. 9.
The verdict of the Coroner's jury id the case
of the terrible accident of last night, has not
yet transpired. Several witnesses were exam
ined, who testified that the Cleveland traits ran
into the town at a fearful rate of speed, at least
35 milds an hour. The conductor of the Fort
Wayne train supposed he would be checked in
time, according to the rules of the road, but the
train seemed to increase its speed as it came
forward, without sounding whistle or bell, end
the collision occurred, causing a fearful wreck.
None of the passengers on the lost Wayne
train were killed and but three wounded. All
the wounded are doing well. Br. Brooks, of
Now Jersey, was to have been married to a la
dy in the neighborhood of Alliance, named
Ware.
The accident has caused great excitement.
The engineer and fireman of the Cleveland
train fled to the woods to escape the fury of the
people.

Slave Excitement in Tennessee,
LocisclLLE, Dec. 9.
The Journal of to-day publishes letters from
Franklin, Tennessee , stating that great excite•

and two kegs of powder were found in the poa•
session of a gang of negrocs, at Columbia,
Tennessee.

killed by their owners.
The Evansville Johrnal, of the oth, learns
that much excitement existed in the neighbor
hood of Dover, on the Cumberland river.—
Many of the ringleaders had been arrested,
and seven hung. One white man, found die
guised as a negro, had been sentenced to re
the 900 lashes, and died before the penalty
was fully inflicted.
The whites were arming and organizing for
defence. The opinion prevailed that a gen

Dar The case of Dred Scott, now being ur•
gued before tho Supreme Court at Washington,
and referred to in our telegraphic dispatches
this morning, involves the constitutionality of
the Missouri Compromise, and the power of
Congress to prohibit slavery in a Territory, in
the following manner. Scott is the son of a
slave woman belonging to an army etlieer, who
moved with his family and his slave into the
Territory where, by the Missouri Compromise,
slavery was prohibited. There Scott was born,
but was afterward carried back to Missouri,
and is now held therein as a slave. He sues
for his freedom, on the ground that ho was born
free, by virtue of the Missouri prohibition. The
case has been before the Supreme Court a year
or more, and was argued, but not decided, last
winter.
ANOTHER III'MORED INSURRECTION.—The
town of St. Martinsville, La., was thrown into
great excitement on the 18th ult., by the Intel.

A bloody tragedy was performed at the
"Baldwin House," in thin city, this afternoon.
I was conve sing in Dr. Thayer's drug store,
when the terrible cry of murder was heard, and
we all started out to discover the cause.. We
were soon directed by a throng of people to

'tiros of the most sanguinary single.hatided con
flict it has been my lot to witness. It is
im
possible to describe the horror which depicted
the visages of that throng of spectators called
there at moment's warning.
The circumstances are as fellows :—Mr
Fleming, an elderly gentleman, and two suns
about 25 to 28 years of age, had called upon
a Mr. Cronies at his room at the B. House,
armed with loaded pistols, to coerce the latter
gentleman into a concession and retraction of
a mummy about their daughter and sister, with
which they charged Mr. C. Mr. C. alter some
pretty warm language had passed between the
parties, agreed to and did sign a retraction in
the presence of a friend whom the Messrs.
Fleming had brought with them.
Immediately after delivering the pnper into
the possession of their friend, the Messrs. F.,
or ova of the brothers, says to Mr. C., "I am
'now going to cowhide you," and one of the
boys holding a cocked pistol to his head. diree.
ted the other to inflict the threatented punish
ment, which he immediately commenced. Ile
had struck three or four blows, when C. drew
a dirk knife from his side pocket, and passing
at the same time his left arm around the neck
of ono who plied the lash, stabbed him in the
left breast, and as quick us thought, withdrew
the knife and struck the one who held the pis.
tol a back handed blow which reached, as it
did the first, the heart of his victim.
Both brothers received their death wounds
in less than two seconds, and were both bloody
corpses in there minutes after they were struck.
The old man had gone out into the hall and
locked the door, and stood upon the outside
with a pistol to keep out assistance. Tho of
fair has created an immense excitement here,
I assure you. The young man Crosier is under
arrest, having surrendered himself into custo
dy., and is to undergo an examination to-mor

The sympathies of the people are mostly
with Crosier. Ho looks the picture of despair.
He is a young man, some 27 to 30 years old,
and unmarried. He is said to have been en•
