MELANCHOLY ACCIDENTS.

Within the last few days our citizens have
witnessed two very distressing accidents in this
town. On Saturday evening last, an interest
ing little daughter of Mr.. JNo. KEPLiNGER Of
Shephcrdstown, aged about years, who has
been spending some time here at her grand
fathers, Mr.. JAcoB HAMME, accidentally fell
into a ciStern in the yard. She had been missed
by the family after sunset, and diligent search
was made in vain for about half an hour,
when they were struck with the thought tina,
perhaps she might have fallen into the cistenl,
whereupon immediate search was made, and
their apprehensions proved too true. Every
effort was made by the physicians to resusci-
tate her, but the vital spark had fed, and her
soul had flown to the one who gave it.
On Monday evening last, son of Mr. GEO.
SHAFFER Of Darkesville, aged about Is years,
who came 10 Town on business, imprudently
made an attempt to get on the burihern train OF
Cans at the Depot whilst they were in motion,
when he fell under the wheels of the Cars and
had one arm so bruised and manged as TO
renderamputation necessary Immediately close
to the shoulder This should be warning TO
Parents generally not to suffer their children to
frequent the Depots on the Rail Road. 1t is
very fortunate that more accidents of this kind
do not occur The Agents and Conductors,
we know, caution boys, time after time, and
even persuade and threaten them, and daily poiat
out 10 them the danger, but sull they persist
and hazard their lives. We understand that
this hoy had been cautioned not to go near the
Cars but few moments before the accident

0d-We direct the attention Of our readers,
and especially our Democratic readers, TO the
letter OF the Hon. GARRETT DAVIS, which will
be found in our columns this week. 1t is a
triumphant vindication of Mr.. GAYS views
and course. AS the ad ralorems sought shelter
under his wings, and boosted Of the comiorta-
bic quarters, we hope they will stick, and not
repudate the doctrines which they have so
lately claimed as good democratic principles
supported by CLAY. But more anon.

most vigorous and active opposition TO the
Presidents government.
The course which the u. S. Government
has recently taken, it says, will eventually
impose upon it the necessity OF extensive
military ornaments, and every thing seems
10 indicate that they will not, hereafter, be
more free than other States have been, from
the costly and perilous passion OF arms. II
then sets forth the naval resources OF the
Union, from the latest official documents,
and the supineness OF the government is
cited as the hest proof Of the confidence
which must prevail that the British Govern
ment has no intention Of abusing its supe.
rior force. The first and greatest difficulty
10 be encountered is thus set forth:
"The United States come into the field
not only with volunteer army and flee
manned in part by foreigners, but with {
bhgLfed credit. Long before a cannon i
fired, and whilst war is still no more than
remote contingency, they may discover tina
the pecuniary transactions Of the last few
years between America and Europe hav'
done more to lessen their power than tn
defeat Of an army or the destruction OF

Tni Amy or OccupAr,oS- In New Orleans
pepers Of the 9Th, the latest dates which we have
received, we find accounts from Matamoras 10 the
evening OF the 2Slh. Every thing was then quiet.
The writer OF one OF the letters, passing by a
house in Matamoras, was induced 10 enter it,
There he found near fifty Mexcans, wounded in
the late engagements, attended by some ten or
twelve women. The next door was the same,
and so on for about twenty houses. Forty woun.
ded men were observed in room scarcely twelve
feet wide. Some had lost leg, others an arm,
and some both legs and arms. One, shot above
the knees, was full OF animal spirits, saying that
the American shot was very good-no very
posonus copper in them. There were between
$50 and 400 Of these horrid objects in the place
and the number Of killed and wounded on the
9th is stated by them at 1900 to 1900.
Gen. Arista was reported to be 80 miles from
MatamoIas, and was receiving renforcements
quite briskly. The Me1icans think he will re.
turn and fight the Americans, and If he does,
they will fight hard for their homes and property.
The United States Dragoons had left for lsa-
bel, to get their horses shod.
The latest letter is dated from the camp oppo.
site Matamoras, to which the volunteer regiments
had been ordered-the regulars, rangers and dra
goons remaining in Matamoras. A company o
regular troops were encamped on the public
square, as also company Of Mexican citizens
whom the General had induced to organize tc
keep their own citizens under proper restrictions
Gen. Taylor excersed no civil jurisdiction owe
this place. -,
Capt. Thornton Of the Drsgoons, was still
under arrest, and would shortly be tried for acting
without orders. Lieut.. Deas was exchanged Tor
though suffered 10 remain with Che enemy as
punishment for his indiscreon.
The declaration OF war. news OF which ha
jus. been received, created great e1citemen
among the Mexicans. the soldiers on the Ameri
can side anticipating from it speedy termination
Of the campaign.
One Of the volunteers was found dead in tn
streets Of Matamoras, on the 18th, having bee
stabbed in the back, and another was missing
supposed also to have been murdered. A Spar
lard or Mexican. was found dead in his hous
the same morning early, ard his wife went t
Taylor's quarters, complained Of the DEED an

arrested and placed under guard, for trial.

We are told that each ofthc members in

under the census 1874, therefore repre-

OREGON-COL. BENTON-THE
PARTY,

Col. Benton and "the party" differ wide.
ly on the subject of Oregon. The Bali-
more Convention adopted the following res.
olution:
Resolved, tina. our title to the ,chole OF the
Territory OF Oregon is clear and unquestionabe,
that no portion OF the same ought to be ceded 10
England or any other power.
The extracts from Col. BIS speech, pub.
lished in our last, upset this resolve of the
progressive" democracy, and we look for
the conductors of the "little organs" to
take it from the heads of their papers.

Mr.. BIS friends, to prove that he sanction.

troubled with the "simples," and they have
