GREAT TELEGRAPHEc EXPERIMENT.. Mr.
AtwII ofthe Telcgraphic Station, informs
us that New Haven was put in Geographic
communication with Toronto, Upper Canada,
last evening, and messages were instantly en-
changed between the two cities.
The route is via New York, Albany, Roch-
ester, Buffalo, and then crossing the Niagara
River below the Falls, passes round Lake
Ontario to Toronto, the entire distance being
nine hundred miles! The experiment was II
most successful one, and the distance was o.
vercome with as much apparent ease and
promptness as between New Haven and
Hartford. 1t was the longest distance ever
traversed by the lightning in continuous I'M
broken lne.--.NeU Hape,, Herald.

1JThc Northern Polk men in the House
united with the South and voted down the
Wimot proviso offered by Mr. Ashmnn Of Ms.
as an amendment to the 23,OOo,0oO Loan
Bill. Polk, it is said, is buying up with prom
iscs Of office, enough Northern locotoco men
bcrs to defeat the passage OF any act prohibit
ing slavery in territory robbed of Mexico, par
ticuarly such members as are not to he again
candidates. The South cry now, ".No HdrrW
No Har!'-and the WiImot proyiso would stop
the war, any day, most probably 1t is further
said Polk would not negotiate with Mexico
for territory unless it could be slave territory.
This is undoubtedly true, for slave territory
was the object of the war, every day serves
to demonstrate.

Too FAST 1t is now said the Mnssnchu-
sctts Regiment for Mexico is not full by 300
men. The way they filled up so fast os to
che use officers was, by cnsting from one com
many to mother for sham show. The re-
cruitino officers, in order to make up the de-
fcicncy, haye opened recruiting stations in
Portland, Nc, and one officer has asked leave
to open rendezvous at Nashua, N, ii, Now,
there were some 40 or $1,000 votes given for
Polk, annexation and war, in Massachusetts,
and there are not TO be found now 700 of these
voters ready to fight for what they voted! Are
they not Patriotsi Little Rhode Island, that
did not vote for Polk and War, has asked
the privilege of sending one company TO the
war, while New Hampshire, lint dM rotc mus,
mas not done so. Ofwhut cpithcts are men
worthy of who vote for war, and then will
not fight: We have such in Vermont, who
can, any day they choose, go and .fgM if they
could be kickcd any way into battle. But
they sit still and call those who voted against
the war, Yand themselves, Potri0iS!-

FIVE MEN KILLED AND NINE BAD
LY WOUNDED.

We have received n letter this evening
from Mr. Jonathan Davis ofihis town who is
now at Athol, stating that as the Cars and
Engine were crossing the railroad bridge IL
bout l.2 ms. above that place, about4 o'clock
! W ednesday afternoon, Oct. 27th, the bridge
| gave way, and cars, engine, men and all were
/ prCcipltatcd into the bottom OF the river
Five men were killed. Nine men were bad
~ hurt having their legs or arms broken,
skulls fractured, etc. Two ofthe nine were
not expected to live over night. The cngin-
ecr-whose name was Woodhurv, oft Charles
towu-'-was among the killed. and his body
was skockingly mutilated. One man Jump

ed with very little injury. BraHieboro' IhG-

Later accounts say that one ofihe wound
ed has since died, and the others are doing
well. The whole of the bridge is in the river.
II was lJJ feet long, and the ahutnlents were
"a feet apart. The distance from the bridge
TO the wafer is 90 feet. The whole weight
upon the bridge ut the time of the accident
was between fifty and sixty tons, of which
about p tons was railroad iron. light
or engine, with iron, passed over the bridge
few days previous to the disaster.
1t is stated that a young man who had
jumped upon the train Just previous to its
crossing tie bridge, heard the bride crack
and leaped into the water, from whence he
swan ashore, and was not in the least iniur-
ed. He stated that the bridge swnyed side

THE WILMOT PROVIsO.

The Polk Administration are putting fortl
their utmost excrtions to unite the whole Lo
qofoco party IN the free States in opposition
to the Wilmot Proviso. The POI officials arc
as busy as bees in making it democratic 10 re-
pudiate the principle involved in the Proviso
and their success is about equal to their zeal
and effort.
In Massachusetts they were able to get a
resolution, embodying the principle ,hjsScd out
of the State Convcnton:-ln Connecticut
they also succeeded in procuring its rejection:
In N. Y. they did the same; and almost sue.
ceedod in Vermont the other day--it was bare.

All this looks TO the union of the locofoco
party upon a candidate for the Presidency OPP
posed to the Wilmot Proviso, and to making
available the purposes of tho Mexican War

the South to expand upon and enlarge the"pe-

WHO rs RIGHT? The following decla-

publican, though somewhat eccentric. He
was wrong or Mr. Polk is. Which is right?
Mr. Polk makes war and conquest the
mission Of our rcpuhlic--a mission widely
different from that designed by its republican
fathers. Randolph said:

eminent was not instituted for The purpose
of offensive wHr-no--it was framed TO use

SUBSTANTIAL WIG TRlUMpHs.

The past twelvemonth has witnessed Sc
ries of brilliant Wing victories. Within that
period, the people have reversed the politi-
cal character of the popular branch of the
National Legislature. From having been
composed of a Loco Foco majority of sixty
OF seventy, it is now Wing!
The recent elections have been equally
suspicious The Wings have succeeded in
every Instance where the result had u direct
bearing upon our National Legislature. We
have elected delegate to Congress from
Wisconsin. We have gained two members
ofCongress in Maryland. We have carried
the Legislature, and secured two United
States Senators; in Georgia. In Ohio, both
branches ofthe Legislature are Wing. This
is important for several reasons; but particu-
larry because the Senators, elected now will
be called upon, next year, to vote for Uni
ted States Senator, in place of Mr. Allen, the

ARE WE TO HAVE PEACE?

An important question this is, for we have
already spent something like hundred mil.
lion of dollars in the war, and sacrificed thou
sands Of the lives of our own people, to say
nothing OF the losses Mexico has suffered in
defending her towns and people from the ag-
gressious OF our armies.
No good signs, as we see yet, ofpeace, but
on The contrary, some bad ones. These
come from our own Government. We say
dents organ--thc Unon-pants for--and
that reflects but the spirit of the misfortune
at the head of our Government.
Some of tho lesser organs-es especially
through their Washington Correspondents
shadow fouha any I!'ius but peace measures.
