Railroad Accident.

On Thursday evening last the second train
up from Windsor was thrown from the track
short distance below White River junction BY
coming in collision with cattle which had bro
ken through the fence and entered upon the
track The night was dark and rainy the light
oil the engine was more than usually dim, the
cattle were also in cut, and were not seen in
time to retard the train at all. One OF the four
animals killed was very large one, standing
upon one OF The rails: and probably it was when
this was struck, that the engine was thrown upon
the opposite side, burying large portion of the
huge machine Ia new and very large engine,
with SIX and half feet drivers, in a sand-bank.
The tender and baggage car were separated III
stant'y and thrown entirely from the truck--lhe
fist turned eud for end md overturned, and the
second thrown lis length up the bank. The pas
senger cars thus had free course to the rear of
the engine and brought up against the boiler,
crushing 10 death instantly fireman named
George lIddeson, Of Philadelphia, who was
temporarily employed upon The engine. There
were three other persons upon the engine, all OF
whom jumped or were thrown off and escaped
uninjuIed, and though there was a large number
of passengers flour long cars full) not une was
harmed The whole affair was instantaneous
A message was instantly despatched TO the
Junction, and the Pdssumpsic train promptly
went down 10 the scene Of the disaster and
brought up the passengers. We were at the
Junction at the time, aud had the facts from those
who were present, and believe The foregoing t.
be correct. 1t has been said that the Company
were at fault in not having cow-catcher upon
the engine. 1t was new machine, Of differ
ent construction from those generally in use
running much higher and 1t is questionable
whether an ordinary COW catcher would not have
been forced into the road bed and thus have
done infinitely more mischief. The engine uas
armed with bar, which was deemed sufficiently
safe for all ordinary cases Of the kind. Sad as
was this accident, in the dea h of the young
stranger, it was yet wonderful tempered wnt
mercy to the hundreds who were exposed tc
death. The engine and cars were injured to the
amount of about $500.

all the elements of ambition for office and lust
for spoils, and If you succeed in whipping US
in this county or that, zoe, the majority OF the
State, will fulfill your agreements"
Whigs,-shaH We continue to say this now,-
say it to tho coalition--say it to party which
you well know is controlled by men who have
forfeited every title to respect on the score Of
principle or political integrity? Will you so
far counenance the coalition as to rdtily its con-
tracts of bargain and sale +? We say bunly-
NO. The principle OF the rule we respect; the
nominations ought to be made by the county del.
egation: but the joint assembly ought to re-
member that il is responsible for the appoint
men,s, and it ought TO ACT upon that response
bily. We are not for ilbclality; we are not
for saying that every county officer shall be a
Wing, without regard to the wishes Of tie ma
jority: but we do hope that the Wings of the
Joint Assembly will at once abolish the custom
of raIiiying nominations as q mere matter Of
course We hold that the appointing power
ought to Judge and act for itself. The county
conventions ought TO be retained TO nominate
usually the nominations will be satisfactory
but when they arc not, we hold that The mi
nority ought TO hare The right Of appeal 10 The
Joint assembly, and that The Joint assembly ought
Itself 10 act upon such appeals entirely untrummei-
led by any rule or custom, other than The original
and constitutional rule Of making appointments
that are FIT 10 be made. That was the original
and truly constitutional rule; fitness we think
should be the sine qua non of every appoint
ment--otber considerations should be subordi-
nate and we believe it to be the duty OF the
majority in the Joint Assembly to act upon all
just as that majority pleases, responsible to no.
body but to their constituents.

The Alleghanians.

1t will be seen that this celebrated band of
singers will give concert in this village on
Monday evening next, the 18th inst, atthe Free
Church.
We hardly dare speak of the ALLroHANfANs
in such terms as their unrivaed excellence
would warrant, inasmuch as the citizens Of
Montpelier have never, as yet, enjoyed the priv
ilege of listening to one Of their charming enter
,ainments, and must, consequently, take our en-
comiums upon trust. We will ouly say, there
fore, that wherever the Alleghanians have sung
the press has teemcd with their praise, and they
have always won, so far as we can learn, the
applause and admiration of the public w c
might euslly fill column of the Wuichman with
notices and encomlums of the most halering
aud even enthusiastic character that these charm
ing vocallss have received from many of the
most respectable aud influential public journals
In the country. They are perfect masters of the
"divlne art" and of the most irreproachabe
private character. We hope and trust that a
company so distinguished ard deserving Of
patronage, will receive such hearty and gen
erous reception from the citizens OF Montpelier
as will induce them often TO return to our village
and favor US with an outpourug OF their sweet
and soul.touching strains.

Correspondence of the Tribune.
Change of Postmasters.

w ARLINGTON, w euDeSuuy, OCt,
Much has been said by the opposition Press,
0nimadyerting upon the Postmaster General for
some appointments he has made of deputy COST
masters IN different sections Of country which.
without the feeling of partizauship, believe 10
be unjust. This branch of duty in the Depart
inent, as every one must know, is fraught with
great difficulty. Uncertainty must always exist
10 some extent, as to the qualifications necessa
~, and the character and habits of those recom-
Inended for these minor Offices; and it is not 10
be supposed that thorough system of reform
can be carried out in this respect without the
danger of falling into error in some cases.
believe, however, that every new appointment
has been made under rigid Amusement. and
the wishes OF the larger portion OF the citizens
composing the respective places have been com
piled with. The utmost scrutiny of the Second
Assistant and the discrimination Of the Depart
ment between several individuals frequently APP
picants for the same place, still have failed in
efecing the most judiclous appointments. -
Time has already been sufficiently long to dis
cover that changes of new appointments must be
made to secure the best interests OF The Depart.
ment and tbs People. But few, as yet, have been
demonstrated to be necessary and these changes
will be promptly made. A proper conduct OF
the distribution of The mails, with regard TO ia
cihty as well as correctness, is Justly considered
MS essential and Important 10 the whole people
No one more highly appreciates this Importance
than Mr. Collamer, and | feel assured that The
country NAV rely upon his utmost excrtiuns in
correcting any defects in the system OF trans
hitting Tie malls and in bringing about the most
beneficial results. The Contract system is being
closely investigated, and contractors VIII be he'd
10 rigid account for any failure ON their part IL
perform their engagements.

Judge COliamer.- In order to give our readers
some idea of the private character of Judge
Conmer, we will relate n iltIe event that oc-
Cured but a short time ago. A young man who
had business relations with the Judge, found
himself by the force of adverse circumstances,
in fair way to lose two thousand dollars cash,
unless some friend came to his relief Imagine
his surprise and gratitude, when Judge Colaner
himself, entirely unsolicited, came forward and
saved hlm from The dilemma. The young man
said, Judge, can never repay you"
avery WELL" said the Judge, "if you never
should when you get as old as am, ii you have
the chance, do The same thing 10 some other young
man.

"TnE BABE OF BETHLEHEM" is a smaller but
very beautiful picture, copied from painting in
the Royal Galley at Florence. 1t is picture
of The child Jesus, and the motto is d" sleep but
