EDUCATION.

1t has been truly said that money paid
for the Education of the young, is like
vapors which rise only to descend again
to beautifv and tertiIize the earth - and
yet how little attention is paid to the sub
subject 1t is an undcniablc fact. that
while the Great West is rapidly approx
ImatIng towards population. wealth and
power, unsurpassed by any portion of tae
Union, corresponding advance in moral
and intellectual cultivation is not suffi-
GENTLY cvincible. The Territory of Wis
consin, which but few years since was
known only as an uninhabited portion of
the s. far Ne IT, is now. with population
of over two hundred thousand, about to
seek admission into the great confedera-
CIV, where her political influence is already
felt and respected. The shores of Lake
Michigan on the East, and the Mississip-
pi on the West, are already becoming
crowded with towns and cities, while new
villages are springing up as if by enchant-
ment, In every direction. Already are
the great inland seas and magnificent
rivers of North America becoming spotted
with vessels and steamers laden with
the produce Of her rich and abundent soil,
destined for stItcs which claim settlements
coeval with the landing Of the Pilgrim
Fathers, and returning with merchandise

RAILROAD COLLISION.

We are grieved to be obliged to record
another unnecessary collision between
trains coming in different directions on a
railroad These accidents are becoming
so common and are generally so care
Iessly produced, that it is time to awaken
public censure upon the subject. ne.
We are informed that the train of cars
which left Springfield this morning for
our city came into collision somewhere be-
tween that place and Hartford, with the
train from the latter place. The shock
was very violent, though fortunately the
speed of the opposing train was somewhat
moderated by the engineers on seeing the
inevitable necessity of the collision. Our
informant tells us that the accident hap
hened on Il bridge - the train from
Springfield moving at the rate of about
ten miles to the hour, and the other at a
somewhat slower rate.
The shock was violent enough to crush
the opposing engines and break in the plat
forms and otherwise injure the first cars
of the two trains - and, what is of far
more consequence, to wound more or less
seriously mauy of the passengers. Some
were precipitated against the seats and
sides of the cars, and received ugly con-
tusions on the head two or three pass
engers standing on the platform were
thrown off; two children from seven to
ten years old had their teeth knocked IN
and, though no one was mortally injured.
two passengers from the severity of their
wounds were obliged to remain behind.
The train from Springfield was detain-
ed an hour IN consequence of the coils
ion.
We cannot divine the cause of the mel
ancholy accident. The usual hour of de-
parture of the two trains was known to
the conductor and engineers of either
train. and it does not appear that the
hour had been changed; and, if it had
been, 1t behooy ed the various officers OF
the trains 10 know it
The engineers were unIn Iured. Thcys
jumped off their stations wheR they dis
covered the unavoidable collision, bat not.
we are Informed, till they had adopted
every eNpedIent 'ime would allow to make
the collision as little fatal as possible.
We have not been allie to ascertain the
names of any of the parties injured

think with great plausibiIity, that with the
skeleton force on the upper line, if Gen.
Taylor should leave, either for the United
states or for Mexico, it would cause
stampede from Sultillo to Matamoras, and
that he could not do so until Gue thousand
troops were distributed along the line, to
