THE SINGULAR DISCLOSURES OF
CRIME AT ROMEO, MICHIGAN.

The Detroit free Press says that, since the dis
closures OF crime made upon supposed death-b bed
bya distinguished physician of Romeo, the students
have left the branch University. The Press, in
relation to the case, says:
1" 1t is true that certain confessions have been
made on what was thought TO be death bed, by
physician of that place. duplicating citizens that
have long been regarded as persons of high moral
worth, in transactions Of the blacklist character
The person making the confessions has stood high
as citizen and skilful practitioner and under
the garb Of religion and morality, stealing " the
garb of heaven to the devil n,'' he has been
guilty Of succession OF the basest crimes
" In the conception and execution of his villai-
mics he seems to have been most expert and &C.
compllshad and when he supposed he could buy
heaven by confession of his own infamy and the
roin Of The reputation Of his uictim, he hestaled
not at the price, but freely and unnecessarily made
confession in relation to others, that the cause Of
virtue and truth did not and never could re-
quiTe
GO Some of his offences were committed several
years since, and his victim had deeply repented
and made all due confessions, and none but sell
fish, craven hearted coward driven on by fear,
would attempt to barter the feelings and happi-
ness of the innocent, and tear his victim from the
place which her subsequent life of pety and virtue
had justly entitled her to occupy, for the vain hope
Of ha ppiness in heaven Virtue and religion do not
require, and heaven cannot approve Of such base
ness"

AS WE STATED IT

We find in the Washington Union of Monday
evening. the following statement in relation to the
call of Mr.. Grice to Washington We marvel
much that the Union should have been led into
its error of Saturday night. and can only account
for 1t from the fact that it depended Wing
journals for its information-if it had looked into
the New Era it would have Immediately got pos
session of true state of the facts:
"NAvAL CoNsTRUcToRs.-We are requested
to state that MIR. Grce has not been appointed
chief naval constructor. as has been currently re-
ported in the newspapers, and Inadvertently copi.
ed into the Union Of Saturday. The office of
chief naval constructor existed without any special
warrant of law, and at the late session of Con
gross the estimate for its support occasioned con-
siderable discussion. Selling The occasion. pre-
sented by the recent vacancy, the Secretary of the
Navy determined to leave the naval constructors
on an equal footing, and not to continue doubtful
office They will now be called on, as their ser
vices are needed, to report at Washington for such
duty as may be required of them in the line Of
their profession.
Z" In pursuance Of This arrangement Mr. Grice
has been called to Washington, not as chief naval
constructor, but for temporary duty in connexon
with his present Office

ACCIDENT ON A RAIL ROAD.

A dreadful accident happened on the Pennsyl-
vania Portage Rail Road. the let instant. 1t
appears that the canal boat Orpheus was on the
cars about being taken the Allegheny Noun
tains, when just beyond Jefferson, from some yet
unexplained cause, the driving wheel of the loco
motive caught and broke the crank. by which
sudden stop the boat and truck were run on the
tender, and the first section, with the tender,
overturned on the road. Among the persons on
the locomotive Major Thomas McGough,
who jumped, and being caught by the falling
boat, which fell on his head, was instantly killed :
nor could the immense mass be removed from his
lifeless body until screws brought from the
summlt-occupying three or four hours. A Mr..
Bylaw was so severely hurt as to cause his
death this day. OF two young women on the
tender one had her leg broken, and the other some
of her fingers taken off. The others were more
or less hurt, but person connected with the boat
was injured

specializing upon the Wing candidates for the
Presidency, thinks that party might elect Gen.

This same writer informs that" Mr. Clay has
decided unequivocally not to be candidate I"
again. He is in favor of John j. Cri,tenden--
but the writer has little hope Of him. John
MLean of Ohio is looked upon as the most avail
able candidate, but Webster and John M. Clay
ton are determinedly and unqualfedy opposed to
his elevation. Gen. Scott is put up as <" high

MEXICO.

By the next arrival from the army we may
look for news of more stirring importance than
any we have received thence since the capture Of
Matamoros We have no doubt that Gen. Tay-
lor is now moving his column upon Monterey.
and the intelligence from that quarter indicates
that the reduction Of the city will be obstioatey
contested. Recent arrivals from the mountains
report large force concentrated in and about Mon
terey. consisting of goodly portion Of regular
troops. Unless these Tumors be greatly exag-
gerated, fresh fields of glory ripening for the
sword. What effect the late revolution in Mex
leo will have upon the soldiery in the Northern
Provinces remains TO be seen. These forces must
have been collected as part of the army Paroles
designed to take command of. They have been
concentrated at Monterey within few weeks, as
shortly after the U. S. Army crossed the Rio
Irande. spies sent into the interior, reported no
troops this side of the mountains.-.N. Y. Morn
