TREASON DISSOLUTION OF THE UNION

DIFFICULT RESPIRATION OF OUR RE.
PORTER.
We engaged a gentleman to report for Us the
proceedings OF the Abolition meeting of the llth
ult. in New York, but owing TO the perfumed air
Of the room from negroes and negresses, he was
obliged to omit full report or do without resp
ring. He certainly took the wisest course. Itn
certain, however, that the abolitiOnsts have met
publicly in the city of New York, and advocated
the repeal ct this Union, and that a number Of
speakers Of their ranks have made speeches urR.
ing action on this subject. This is TREASON
high-handed treasOn-and will surely bring down
upon them ah avalanche Of PUBLIC OPINION, and
drive thousands Of men who have advocated the
ROBBERY Of the South from their ranks In their
meeting in New York, our reporter informs, the
negroes, negresses and tChites were mixed up, and
that By their actions and SMELL it became the most
disgusting place be ever conceived Of.
Many of the achite negroes present were Qua.

A FEARFUL HIDE.-Ihe Ithaca and U.s.
wegO Railroad, as il comesinto this village,
descends ia less.than halfa mile nearly FIVE
hundred feet BY means Of two inclined
planes. The cars on their arrival at the
upper engine house are detached from the
locomotive and permitted 10 descend to the
lower engine house under the control of
brakeTs. From the lower engine house,
which is at the top Of the frstinclined plane,
the passengers are brought TO this village by
stage. This is done because Of the great
steepness Of the lower inclined plane; it de-
scendi9g 456 feet in the distance Uf 1850,
or nearly at an angle Of Is degrees to the
horizon. No person Of sane mind would
venture his neck by going down this inclined
plane, as in cas- of the car becoming de-
tached in descending, it would inevitably
be dashed to atoms.
On Saturday last, the car containing
eleven passengers was detached as usual at
the upper engine house, but it was found
that the brakes did NOT operate, and that
the car was fastening with constantly accel-
Grated rapidity toward the brink Of the low
er inclined plane. The forward brakeman
leaPed from the car for the purpose Of
throwing itoff the track by means Of beam,
but he stumbled and failed in his object
The other brakeman sat at his post like a
hero, calling to the passengers to jump and
save themselves. On went the car with
dreadful rapidly, and one by one Of the
passengers threw themselves out.
The Hon. Amasa Dana, leaped fTom the
car as it passed through the lower engine
house, and there also the brakeman sprang
for his life. One man alone vas unable to
escape before the car, which was already
outstripping the wind, made the plunge
down the lower plane. The whole length
of this was traVersed almost in an instant.
About 100 feet from the bottom the cal
left the track, dashing to pieces the iron
wheels on which the engine rope plays, and
spIintering the beams which bound the
tracks together, until it reached the foot OIL
the plane, where it was dashed into thou
sand fragments. One Of the car wheels was
shivered to pieces, the heavy iron axIetree
broken, and scarcely any one piece Of the
body left entire.
We saw the wreck, and if bomb shell
had burst IN the car, it could not have more
completely demolished it. In the midst o.
the fragments, tho man who descended witt
the car was found, his arm broken above anC
below the elbow, and his head severely frac
tured. Medical assistance was at once rem
dered. and there is some hope of his recov
cry. His name is Babcock, and he is a re
lative of Mr. Eber BabcOck, Of this village
During the delirum Occasioned by the blow
the wounded man kept constantly repeating
words as if endeaVOring to stop team o
horses.
Judge Dana was out slightly hurt, although
several Of the passengers who spFang ftOu

injured.

STEAMBOAT EXPLOSIONS. Accidents on
board of steamboats, plying on the Mississip.
pi and its tributaries, which for some time
past have not been quite as frequent as for
merly, have again through neglect Of the
officers on board, or persons appointed to ex-
anime the boilers, &c. become exceedingly
alarming. One account follows another so
rapidly of recent explosions, that we must
come to the conclusion that negligence alone
is the origin Of so many disasters. The tow
boat Claiborne, while crossing the bar at the
Balize, on the 2Ist ult. burst her starboard
boiler, parts Of which were thrown over
board, some passing through the cabin
Fortunately, no one on board received the
slightest injury.
The steamboat Douglass, on her intended
trip up, when a short distance below the
mouth of the Ohio, burst her steam pipe, i'm.
mediately killing six persons, and seriously
wOunding twenty. three others, among whom
were ten or twelve ladies. Among the kill
led were Mr.. Leonard, and Mrs. Johnson
and child, of New Orleans, and two children
of Mrs. DOuglas-all passengers.
By the explosion of boiler of the steam
tow-bOat, POrPOise, one fireman was killed
another missing, and her steward so badly
wounded that he died shortly after at the
Hospital.
Other accidents, Of which we have not :he
