"Mis T-'niTon: Learning that tlic 4th of July
was to bo celebrated at Bethel Churchy in
Cumberland County, and being "desirous of
observing the temperature of the patriotism in
that part, ive resolved unanimously to attend.
At 10 o'clock, a. in., we arrived at the desig
nated point and found, to our satisfaction, a
concourse of the good people of the "Old North
State,' numbering more than 500, assembled
to participate in the National jubilee. Even
thing around seemed to favor the occasion.
The skv was clear, and gentle breezes fanned
into vigor my energies, weakened and depres
sed bv the preceding warm weather. It was
a pleasing thing, too, to look upon that honest
and patriotic band of farmers who had turned
from the toils and carts of life, to warm up
their love of country by rehearsing the gallant
deeds of their fat hers, by discussing oar preseut
prosperity, and commenting upon our glorious
future. lnt there were other subjects of inter
est. Age with its hoary . locks was there to
add dignity and solemnity to the occasion;
youth with its hilarity elasticity, ami vi-or
awoke mirth and animation, ami beaut v with
its soft smiles and winning looks was not want
ing Tiie celebration was opened with prayer,
which was followed by the reading of the Meck
lenburg Declaration of Independence, by N.G.
McNeill, and the National by Amos N. Wil
liamson, Esq., both of which gentlemen dis
charged their respective duties very creditably.

flie coolness and
calmness which marked his
exordium, chained
every attention.
The limits of this notice forbid our attempt
ing to go into detail, but we do say that tin re
was a taste and judgment disj. laved in the
composition of the speech, and an energy and
vigor exhibited in the delivery, seldom if ever
surpassed. Among other things, the gentle
man appealed to the state pride of his audience,
showing the noble stand that our citizens have
ever taken in war and peace, and teaching a
lesson which we hope will learn them to despise
the taunts of those who would stain her bright
escutcheons. The speech was indeed a "feast
of reason and flow of soul''
After the speaking, we were invited to
partake of a most sumptuous dinner,, which the
hospitality and beneficence of the neighboring
citizens h id prepared. If patriotic pr.de' and
the sentiments of the speaker had caused hearts j
to swell and checks to. glow with pleasure, you,
can rest assured that -these hearts palpitated
faster and these cheeks assumed a brighter hue
when that collection of luxuries and substan
tiate were unfolded to the anxious gaze. Con
ceive of a collection of pigs, turkeys, chickens,
cakes, pies, fce., in quantity .sufficient to gratify
the most exhorbitant wants of a regiment of
soldiers, and you can then form some idea of what
the dinner at Bethel Church was. In closing, I
would consider that I were doing great injustice
were I to pass unnoticed the "Gray's Creek
Independents," a very handsome and remarka
bly neatly uniformed and well disciplined com
pany, commanded by (.'apt. T. W. Devane.
This company participated in the whole celebra
tion, and we must confess that we were agreea
bly surprised to find so elevated and enthusias
tic a military spirit pervading the bosom of
your citizens. We learn that this is one of four
of the same stripe which belong to your County,
and we do hope that they may go on prospering
and to prosper an honor to your State in
peace, a defence and support in war. It may
never again be our privilege to mingle again
with the Citizens of that neighborhood in a
celebration, but we shall ever look back upon
the 1th .Tuly, lS.jT), as a day forming one of
the brightest links in our existence.

communications for the newspapers, but I would
respectfully beg a small place in your paper to
reiterate a remark which was made by the
noble champion of Democracy, Gov. Bragg, in
the discussion here between himself and .Mr
Gilmer, touching know-nolhingism 1 want
every true man in the county, whatever may
be his politics, to ponder it well in his mind
when appeals are made to him not to vote for
Mr Uoberts for Sheriff because he was born in
another State. It was this: Gov. Bragg re
marked that there were men in the American
party who were very vociferous in crying
" Americans shall rule America," who did not
have the egg shell of foieigiiism off their own
heads, and whose fathers were foreigners. In
deed, sir, this is another glaring inconsistency
of the so-called American party. Their own
doctrine would cause them to go against their
old gray-headed sires who had taken care of
them when they were unable to take care of
themselves, and in return for their kindness,
oppose their election to any office because they
happened to be born in Scotland or some other
fureiirn land.

The Appalling Railroad Disaster near Philadelphia.
" ; Philadelphia, July 17. About nine o'clock
this morning, the appalling intelligence reached
the city that a collision had occurred npou the
North Pennsylvania ltailroad, between "the
regular morning train from Gwynedd and an
excursion train that left the city at five o'clock
this morning, with a large party of school chil
dren with their teachers, &c. . ..
The particulars, so far as we have been able
to glean them from reliable sources, are as
follows:
At five o'clock this morning a special train
of ten cars left the Master Street Depot with
the schools of St. Michael's ltoman Catholic
Church, in Kensington. The excursion party
consisted of between five and six hundred per
sons, the great majority of .whom were children.
They intended proceeding to Fort Washington,
miles from the city, where they were to
enjoy a pic-nic.
Owing to the number of cars and the weight
of the train, there was .some delay, and the
conductor, Mr Alfred F. lloppel, finding him
self behind time, pushed forward with -treat
rapidity when toward the end of his trip.
The regular passenger train for the city left
Gwynedd at G o'clock, and reached Camp Hill
at 0 o'clock and l?S minutes. Finding the ex
cursion train had not yet arrived, Mr Vansta
voren, the Conductor, determined not to wait
lor it, and his train was moving along when
the expected train came thundering on around
a curve at the rate of 35 miles ail hour. A
coVrision ofjf'course ensued witjl the most appall-
111;
c
consequences.
The down train 'escaped withoot serious darn
age, but the scene presented by the excursion
I rain was fearful. The three forward cars of
the train were completely crushed to pieces,
and the wreck mingling with that of the loco
motive took fire, ami I lie flames communicated
to the other cars of the train. The two next
cars after the three that were wrecked out
right took lire, and were entirely consumed.
The inmates of the three forward cars were
completely mixed up with the wreck, and a
large number of them were killed outright.
There were probably fifty persons in each of
the three cars, and the lowest estimate we
heard fixed the number of killed at fifty, while
it was feared the uread aggregate would reach
one hundred.
When our informant left the spot, every
effort was being made to rescue the wounded
and the bodies of the dead from the wreck.
Everything was in the wildest confusion, and
it was of course impossible, under the circum
stances, to arr.ve with any certainly at the
number of the victims, or to pretend to obtain
any particulars as to their names.
Mr lloppel, the conductcr, with very little
injury. Harry Harris, the engineer of the ex
cursion train, was cut to pieces and killed in
stantly, and John Ragans, the fireman, is
missing, and it is believed he is under the
wreck.
As soon as the dreadful intelligence reached
the city a car was dispatched with all possible
speed from the Master street depot with physi
cians and other assistance.
One of our reporters, on hearing the news,
immediately repaired to the office of the com
pany at Front and Willow streets, but the 10
o'clock train had just left the station.
He then proceeded along the line of the
road to the outer depot of the company, where
he found the Vice President and Engineer of
the road at the depot, which was surrounded
bv thousands of excited men and women.
He was informed that an attempt had been
made to send hand-cars along the road to the
scene of the accident, but the had been
immediately surrounded hy the mob, and the
police and the employees of the company had
the utmost difficulty in keeping them from
being run off with.
. The excitement at the Willow Street Station
was also intense. Excited crowds were eagerly
inquiring for the latest intelligence from the
scene, while those who had children on the ill
fated train were in the most dreadful condition
of suspense.
The news of the accident having been widely
circulated, a large number of persons who
imagined their friends might be among the
injured, also proceeded to the outer stat ion.
Mr Wm. Swaim was at Chesnut Hill, about
o miles distant, when the disaster occuircd, he
'immediately hastened to the spot, and he
furnishes us with the following particulars of the
catastrophe that came under his own observa
tion :
The scene was the most awful I ever witnessed.
Of live cars nothing was left standing but the
wheels, every bit of wood work was totally
destroyed. A number of the dead were lying
in a. heap so dreadfully burned that you could
not tell whether they were men or women.
Among these was, it is believed, the Rev. Mr
Sheridan, priest of St. Michael's Church. He
was with the excursion party, and his body was
not found.
Under the ruins, the bodies of some fifteen or
eighteen persons could be seen. No portion of
them could be readied, but their limbs here a
leir protruded and there an arm or head could
be discovered. The cars could be seen burning
for a distance of four miles, and the Chesnut
Hill Fire Company hastened to to the spot,
and by their exertions in extinguishing the
flames, served materially in the work of rescu
ing the dead
The people around the neighborhood
hastened to the dreadful scene, and by every
means in their power assisted in the relief of
the wounded. Fortunately, 5 there was 'a
quantity of ice and ice cream on the train ; this
was given to the wounded; it refreshed them
greatly.
As the train of baggage cars sent up from
the city approached the spot, the scene beg
gared all description; some from the city who
had friends on the excursion, jumped out be
fore the train stopped, and sought their friends
who two often, were dead or horribly mutilated.
Their shrieks would mingle with those of the
dying. Men left their work for miles around
and came to the spot and rendered nil the
assistance in their power. .Many were helping
to remove the locomotive, under which were
man' bodies; the heat was so intense that it
was almost impossible to render any assistance
to those in the ruins. The Congress Engine
and Hose Company.'of Chesnut Hill, arrived on
the ground about 8 o'clock; and began to play
on the fire.
Eleven bodies of men and women and two
j children were burned to death in one car. The
names are unknown. They were caught under
the side of one of the cars and roasted alive.
When we saw the remaius they presented a
horrible spectacle.
The mutilated remains of four men and
women and a child were dug from beneath the
engine and tender.
The killed, amount to no less than thirty
nine persons, and the wounded to sixty-nine.
These numbers will probably be increased, as
some of the wounded will probably die, and
there are some whose injuries are not known.

How Warren Winsi.ow. During the
debate upon the subject now before the Housa

Hon. Warren Wins'ow made an able argument
denying constitutional power in the premises.
This, we believe, was his first oratorical effort
in the House, of which he is an efficient and
deservedly esteemed member. In the commence
ment of his remarks, he spoke candy and
eloquently of the agitation now existing in the
country,, and, in a spirit of fervor, pointed out
the dnty of every lover of not a mere section,
but f the entire, oar common conntry; His
language was '-chaste, and flowed with grace
and earnestness from the lips of this statesman
lrom the "Old North (Carolina) State." His
voice and manner were in entire accordance
with the language in which his high-toned
sentiments were expressed. He commanded
the attention of all the members present ; a
compliment which thc auditors at the Capitol

fusion" which usually prevail can not fail to

AN OBSERVER.
July IS, 1856.
A Ron'e for tiie A lioi.iTioxisTS. Messrs.
Rowland and Brothers, an enterprising firm of
this city, own a slave, James Wiiley by name,
whom they permitted some months since to
take a trip to the North to see the enriosities.
They not only gave him a permit to take pas
sage in the New York steamer from this place
but also gave him the neccessary funds to bear
his expenses. He visited New York, Falmouth
Mass., Fall River, New Bedford and sundry
other abolition holes; while at Falmouth he
called on one of the firm, w ho was visiting that
place for recreation, and was tendered more
funds if he needed them, which he refused
remarking he had enough to bear his
back to Norfolk.
expenses
When Jim (for this is his familiar name) was
in New Bedford he met several fugitives whom
he recognised as former slaves in Norfolk.
They supposing he had r.nnaway, received him
with down cast looks and assured him that he
had come to the wrong place,andremarking that
they were "making out very poorly," having
to labor very hard and get but poorly paid in
return ; they expressed great dissatisfaction at
the treatment they received at the hands of
their abolition friends. Jim told them that he
had not run away; that he was only on a visit
and would return to Norfolk in a few days.
At several of these towns in Massachusetts he
was importuned by the Abolitionists to remain,
assuring him that he was then a Free Man: he
declined their kind offers, nnd assured them
that such freedom as a black man enjoyed with
them had no charms for him; he vastly pre
ferred the slavery of Norfolk, accompanied
with an abundance of the necessities, aye, and
comforts of life as he enjoyed thejn at home, to
all the freedom that Massachusetts could ten
der him. He returned of his own accord, and
arrived here Saturday morning in the steamer
North Carolina, having taken the sea route to
the North and the overland route (via Phila
delphia and Baltimore) home. He is now at
the store of the Messrs. U. & B., and if any
dissatisfied darkey desires to see the misery and
squalid poverty that await al! negroes" who
make their escape to the North, he can be

Stopi-ixo the SipruEs. There was quite an
interesting discussion in the House yesterday
on the qnestioM of fixing a day of adjournment.
Messrs. Haven and Dunn, two of the supporters
of Mr Fillmore, took conspicuous parts in the
debate. Mr Haven was understood to be in
favor of restoring the Missouri restriction if
there was any prospect of its being concurred
in by the Senate. Mr Dunn was so emphatic
on this point that he pledged himself to vote
for no appropriation nntil the Missouri Compro
mise should be restored. The fact that these
two gentlemen are ardent supporters of Mr
Fillmore is significant as to thaposition of their
candidate on a question on which he has been
too conservative to express his opinion. Wash.

true to democracy and the Union he could have
retained his seat. We have little doubt that
his constituents will resent thc wrong, and
vindicate their, own rights, as well as those of
their injured representative, by sending him
back with a new commission, and give his
persecutors a chance to expel him again. He
is sure to come back

victim of the black depotism that reigns in the
House, when one of its organs, the New York
Herald, announced that Mr Hail, of Iowa, is to
be next expelled, lie, too, is guilty of the
crime of being a friend to the Union;" and he,
too, stands in the way of a vote for Fremont in
the House of Representatives. Off with his
head, says the Herald, and we may expect the
Tribune to echo the order. If Herbert is not
disposed of by judicial process, it will be easy
for the House to despatch him. Fremont must
be elected no matter what outrages it costs if
the present House of Representatives can
effect the object. Washington Union.
General Jackson and Mr Buchanan.
The most disreputable attempt that has been
made to injure Mr Buchanan is that which
seeks to make the impression that General
Jackson lacked confidence in him on account of
his conduct in the unfortunate difficulty as to
the charge of "bargain and corruption" which
grew up out of the election of Mr Adams in
1825. We have already published two letters
from General Jackson's son, Andrew Jackson,
in which he triumphantly vindicates the memory
of his father, and entirely refutes the allegation
that Mr Buchanan did not enjoy his entire
confidence. It will be remembered that An
drew Jackson was induced to appeal to the
public in consequence of the disgraceful viola
tion of all decency and propriety by the publi
cation of certain confidential letters of his
father One of these private letters, an extract
of which was so published, purported to bear
date late in February, 1845, ami in this extract
General Jackson alludes in terms of dissatisfac
tion to the conduct of Mr Buchanan in the
affair before referred to. We now have infor
mation from Nashville, Tennessee, that the
person who has thus violated Gen Jackson's
confidence, and furnished for political effect
what purports to be an extract from one of his
private letters, is Major W. B. Lewis. The
gentleman who gives us this information was
one of the most intimate of Gen. Jackson's
friends, and a member of Mr Polk's cabinet.
In regard to the alleged extract he says: "I
shall not believe that he (Gen. Jackson) ever
so expressed himself until I see the letter in
his own handwriting. Such tricksters could
easily add to or erase a word which would en
tirely change the whole meaning of a sentence."
As we understand the matter, the whole
credit to be given to the extract rests upon the
assertion of Major Lewis, that he has furnished
the copy of it for publication. By the verj
fact of thus abusing the confidence reposed in
turn by uen. Jackson he forfeits all claim to
credibility. The fact that he has suppressed
the residue of the letter furnishes strong evidence
that the extract is either not genuine, or that
it is garbled and altered so as to pervert its
true meaning. "Every honorable mind is justi
fied in pronouncing it a probable forgery, unless
Major Lewis produces the whole letter "in Gen.
Jackson's own handwriting, and, together with
it, the letter of his own to which it was au
answer. The gentleman before alluded to not
only asserts, as a fact susceptible of proof, that
Gen. Jackson approved tiie selection of Mr
Buchanan by Mr Polk as a member of his
cabinet before the appointment was made, but
that after it was made, and after the date of
the pretended letter to Major Lewis, Gen.
Jackson wrote to Mr Polk expressing his cor
dial satisfaction at the appointment of Mr
Buchanan. This letter is in existence, and its
contents are so directly contradictory of the
pretended extract that it strongly corroborates
the conclusion th.it the extract is a forgery.

Donelson on Fillmore.
The most unuatiirnl political association
that now exists is that between Fillmore and
Donelson. Whilst the latter was editor of the
Washington Union a proposition was started
that the compromise democrats and conservative
whigs should form a "Union party" for tin-re-election
of Mr Fillmore. Thc proposition
was indignantly contemned and rejected by
Major Donelson, and for his contemptuous
rejection of it the Ualtimore American took
him to task. Major Donelson's reply to the
American discloses his opinion of Mr Fillmore
so distinctly that we reproduce an extract for
the special benefit of Mr Fillmore's ardent
admirers :
"The Baltimore American is not well suited
with our contemptuous rejection of its absurd
proposition that the democrats who rally upon
the maintenance of the Compromise, as a
platform on which to carry out the ancient and
time-honored principles of their great party,
should join the 'conservative whigs' in a new
Union organization to sustain and re-elect
President Fillmore. The American begs us to
spare it any further expression of our 'astonish
ment.1 That we will d if the American will
but spare us and the country any further
persista nee in such monstrous fooleries. For is it!
not, to the plain sense of every plain man, a j
monstrous foolery to ask a national democrat to j
sustain. Jlr Fillmore, now repudiated by two- i
thirds of his own party as an eleventh-hour j
ajiostale from his known Abohlimiism of 1 848, lo ;

against such treatment of Major Donelson. He
is fully entitled to every know-nothing vote
cast for Mr Fillmore. Did he not pass a high
enlogium on Mr Fillmore when he accepted the
nomination on his ticket? To be snre, Mr
Fillmore did not return the compliment when
he accepted the nomination probably remem
bering the biting editorials of Major Donelson,
written for the Washington Union some years
ago; but that only shows that Mr Fillmore was
not as proud of the association as Major
Donelson was. Washington Union.
