FRlGHTFUL ACCIDENTAL man, named John
Hyland, a native of the county Westmeath, Ire
land, was killed on Thursday last, at Anthony g
Nose, on the New York and Albany railroad, I'M
der the most thrilling circumstances. He had
charged large bore for the purpose of blasting an
immense rock, which, after the fuse being lighted,
missed and this he went to remedy with cast steel
drill. The steel struck fire and the rock bursted,
and pieces flew in every direction. One of them,
of more than three hundred weight, struck him on
the side, and being chiselled from former blasts,
no, only broke his ribs, but entered his entrals,
which protruded through the wound on the side.
He was blown with the piece Of rock nearly twelve
feet into the air, yet he landed on his feet and his
first cry after graspng his wound, was to call for
clergyman. Many of his fellow aborers ran in
search of one, but before he arrived the sufferer
had expired. Mr.. Carroll, the contractor of the
work, has generously made present of the house
in which the deceased resided and rented from
HIM. TO his widow. Hyland was greatly beloved
by his fellow work men, and collection was com.
menced for his wife and children, which IN two
days amounted TO $3.50.

A New Manure.

We find in the Pennsylvania Cultivator,' pub
lished at Harrisburg, the following notice of
experiments made by one of the most enterprising
IN our country
Robert BrysOn, Esq. of Cumberland county,
about eight miles from Harrisburg. has been ex-
perimenting for the last ten years, to make ex-
hausted tan bark available as manure. Besides
his magnificent farm, he likewise carries on the
tanning business. Finally after great deal of
expense and many failures, he has succeeded in
discovering method of producing from the ian
efficient manure. This is his plan: 6. He has
his tan wheeled out ON 70 level piece of ground,
and leveed off two or three feet thick. Over this
he spreads layer oftwo OF three inches of lime,
and over that again strata of tan-then a layer
of lime, and so on He lets the bed so spread re-
main for two years. at the end of that time be finds
himself in possession of a bed of manure, the eff
fects of which upon land can hardly be surpassed.

Cholera in New York.

Some excitement has been occasioned in New
York, by disease very strongly resembling the
Aslatic Cholera, which broke out among the steer
age passengers on beand the packet ship New
York. on her way from Hasre to New York. She
arrived at Quarantine on the lsr inst and since
that time about three four deaths occur in day
among the passengers. The ship was in good
condition. and no. Cholera was known at Hayre
when she sailed; but still the New York physicians
believe it is that disease that has seized upon her
passengers. Il is time to prepare for the Cholera
in good earnest; though it will probably be as
severe and fatal as II was seventeen years ago.

The Presidents m es~ase.

We present our readers with an Analysis of Mr..
Folks last annual Message, in to. DAYS Jefferso-
nian. Il is carefully prepared, and presents all
the points touched upon in the Message. We CO.
py il from the Pennsylvania lnquiter.
The Message itself occupies twelve columns Of
the Washington Union in small type, and could
not be crowded into sipglenunber of this paper
Still, notwithstanding its great length. we would
endeavor to publish it, were it document worthy
of the high source from which it eminates. But
il is not sn. In our opinion it is altogether be-
meath the dignity of the Presidential station-and
it would have been well for the fame of its author
il he had never written it.
The Analysis we publish is far more creditabls
,han the Message. The Message is devoted to
The laudation Of its authors Administration, and
the support of those measures which the people
have just condemned by the election of General
Zachary Taylor. 1t is prepared in such a way,
too, that it is scarcely interesting, considered in
the light of political address. being dull and
heavy,If not stupid. But we can bear with it,
considering il Is the last of the kind we will have
for some years to come, at least. When Old
Rough and Ready is President we will look for
some,ing different.

10 The following is the paper read to
the Philadelphia Convention in explanation
of Gen. Taylor's position:
The position occupied by Gen. Taylor,
in relation to the Presidency, does not seem
To he correctly understood by many persons,
and for that reason we make such explana-
tons and statements IN relation To that po-
sitiun as may effectually remove all doubt
and the effect of misrepresentation on that
point. % ea79
Gen. Taylor has taken no part IN bring
ing his name hefore the American people,
IN connection with the Presidency, nor does
he present his name 10 this convention aS
candidate His friends throughout The coun
try, rather discouraged than encouraged by
him, have placed him prominently before
the nation as worthy of filling the place once
occupied by the Father of his country, and
Gem TAYLOR from a sense ot duty, has as
scented to the nomination.
He considered himself in the hands of his
friend, who have honored him with their
choice. He has publicly aIal repeatedly
stated that they might Withdraw him when
ever they thought The Interests OF The coun-
try, in their opinion, required 1t. lie does
not consider that, under the circumstances
in which his name has been brought for
ward. it would be proper III him To with
draw himself Such has been his position
since he as>ented to the use of his name,
subsequent TO the capture of Monterey, and
such is his position now.
On hehalt' the delegation of Louisiana,
will further state that Gen. Taylor desires
it to be understood that, in his opinion, his
friends who come into this convention are
bound to abide hy its decision, and to sus-
tain the nominee g heart and soult' that
Gen. TAYLOR recognises IN his friends in
this convention those who have the right TO
withdraw his name, and will cheertully ac-
quiesce in such withdrawal. safltaagaE

order To avert the downward tendency OF
our national affairs.
I'm making This announcement, the dele
CATION of Louisiana wish it to I've distinctly
understood that it involves no inconsistency
ON the part of General Taylor.
In case the choire of this convention shall
fall nn another than Gen. TAYLOR, and his
friends in this convention withdraw him, it
will he their act and not his; hut in which
he will cheerfull~ acquiesce: and by the act
of uniting with this convention, his friends
