During the recent railroad excursion to Montpe-
lier, Vermont, which left Boston on the 18th, an
accident took place which endangered the safety OF
the whole party in the most serious manner. A
correspondent of the Transcript thus refers to the
occurrence:
"We left Boston in extra train of cars and
proceeded only as far as Woburn when we met
with the accident, doubtless reported to you before
this, but which should be again mentioned and COM
mented upon. know and feel that the corporation
of the Lowell railroad has done all in its power to
render the lives of passengers safe, and have so far
succeeded that accidents upon their road have been
much more rare, l think, than upon any other road
of the same amount of business Having travelled
over il scores Of times, may say that felt un-
wonted security under their superintendent.
$50 It was yesterday mornings we started gaily off
and soon attained speed of thirty miles per hour
when suddenly the engineer perceived that three rails
had been removed, to be replaced by new ones, but
discovered II too late to stop his speed. We were
within thirty rods Of the spot, when, at this light
ming speed, few off the track over those granite
sleepers tearing up rail and saddle, and expecting
instantly to be dashed in pieces. For moment
all was CONSERVATION. The whole train was forced
across the opposite track. The cars were very full
and large part Of the passengers were ladies, who
manifested degree Of calmness which put to blush
the pale cheeks Of some men less resolute. The
accident, you aware, under Providence re-
suited in but comparatively slight injuries or maim-
ing the engineer and brakeman being the only per-
sons badly bruised. As the engine darted off the
track, all the wood upon the tender came upon the
engineer, and tore the heel IF his boots He then
jumped, and in doing dislocated his elbow and
broke his wrist
But the gross oversight which should allow an
extra train, at an extra speed to pass with passen-
gers where IL was known there were to be repairs,
cannot be too strongly condemned

SHAM THUNDER,

Says the Union, apropos to the introduc-
ton of certain resolutions adverse to the
President adopted in New Hampshire
General TAYLOR is destined to hear, from
an indignant people themselves, thunders
more terrible to his ears than the roar of the
enemy's cannon at Buena Vista" The
Cnion's roars are quite as terrible as those
of Snug, the joiner, who roared so that cit
would do any mans heart good to hear
him." and "as gently as any sucking
dove" 1t is strange that the Union can
never get over that old grudge against
General TAYLOR for refusing to surrender
to the passport-favored protege of the late
Administration, Santa Anna, and whipping
him in such rough-and-ready fashion.
Hence its sheer at the victory of Buena
Vista. The sindignant people" of whom
it speaks, are few Locofoco wire-pullers
who are signing for the ieshpots, of which
they have had almost uninterrupted pos
session for twenty years till now. The
''thunders" of their cheaply manufactured
indignation will be about as ssterrible" as
the fabricated fulmen of the small country
theatres, produced by wrinkling sheet of
copper.
1t may be very well for an editor, in his
comfortable sanctum, far from any danger
Of other shot than the paper-pellets of the
brain, to imagine string of ssindignation
resolutions" got up, as matter Of course,
by some small politicians not ssknown"
out of New Hampshire, as "more terri
BILE" than the carnage-dealing thunders of
Buena Vista; but which would the gentle
men of the Union prefer to encounterl
and the feasibility of canal across Cape Cod, at
point where the navigable waters of Barnsable Bay
and Buzzard's Bay approach within five miles of
each other. The project has been occasionng dis
cussion for long time and an unsuccessful attempt
was made to carry it out about thirty years ago. If
the scheme be feasible, there is no doubt but that il
would be important 10 navigation, cutting off the
long detour by the Vineyard and Nantucket. The
Register states that the former attempt utterly failed,
but does not specify why.

"Voice Of the sovereign peopie-viA Gen
erai Taylor hear iR"-There have been two
Locofoco conventions lately-one in Maine
and one in Iowa--which revamped some Of
the stale SANDERS against the Administra-
ton, and uttered them to the world in the
shape of resolutions. This the Union calls
the 'voice of the sovereign people," We
had supposed that the voice Of the sovereign
people was quite distinctly heard through
the ballot box last November; but it seems
that the Union does not admit the sturdy
voters Of the country to be people, unless
they vote as il desires. II not the "voice
of the people," was il only thunder Gen

A QUESTION.
keepingi

WI our opposition contemporary inform
us who it was that declared, in somewhat
public place, on an interesting occasion,
"that ignorance comprised the largest
share Of the stock in trade " of the sove-
reign State Of Tsnnesseel
Will he inform us who asked, on the
same occasion, the following question
"Judging from the state of education ana
literature in Tennessee, can it be matter
Of wonder that that State should be so fal
behind her Democratic sisters in the march
of political reform"
A man who treats a sovereign State
with contempt, can hardly be expected tc
treat mere Senators and Presidents with
decency.
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1849-07-24

The following is from the Philadelphia Ledger,
"The Washington Union promises to publish
another scathng letter against the Admins,ra-
ton. We hope that il will be more decent than
any the Union has already published They have
been as disgreceful as they were degrading to the
character of the press"

A party of about fifty Texans some time since
let the frontier for the purpose of exploring the re-
ces'es of the Wichita mountains, amid which there
were said to be immense deposites Of gold. One Of
the editors Of the Texas Times accompanied the
party, and states that there is no appearance what
ever Of any precious metal in the whole range,
though the earth is covered with the gttering mica,
'inged with the carbonate of iron. The yellow APP
pearsnce Of this mineral probably give rise to re-
port Of the existence Of gold. At Little Rock a
party is now being organized TO examine the same

A New VEGETABLE FOR THE GARDEN.-China
continues TO be great storehouse for what, to US,
are new vegetables for gardens, either as esculens
for our tables or as flowers for floral ornaments.
The last number of Hoveys Magazine of Horti-
culture contains communication from DIR. Wen
dell, of Albany, N. Y, giving an account of the
Hoosung or 90 Sung, recently introduced by him
from China.
He sowed the seed in April, and the plants were
fit for use in June. In regard to the uses of the
plant he says the succulent stem is the part used;
il is to be Invested of It's outer rind and either sim
ply boiled with little salt in the water and dressed,
as is asparagus, stewed in soy, with salt, pep
per- and butter added, or boiled in soup, is okra
He also adds, that it is very agreeable and plea
SAINT addition to the list Of vegetable escuents, and
worthy Of trial.

what you want at the bottom, and the top WI alter
wards take care of itself.
If you fipd any of your favorite fruit trees are
failing from dryness of the season or heat OF the
sun, cover the surface Of the ground two or three
inches deep with straw. Indeed, nothing benefits
any delicate tree so much in this climate as keep
ing the roots in uniform temperature by this coat
of straw laid on the surface of the ground.
There are few trees such gross feeders as the
grapevine. Soapsuds and liquid manure, applied
every week, will give an amount of luxuriance and
a weight Of fruit single vine that seems almost
incredible. have seen an Isabella grape produce
three thousand fine clusters of well-ripened fruit IN
a single season, by the liberal use of manure and
soapsuds from the weekly wash.
Ifyou wish to bring fruit trees into bearing at an
early age pinch of the ends of the shoots now, and
again at the end of six weeks. This accumulates
the sap, and the surplus becomes fruit buds for the
next season.
The secret of neatness and economy in summer
culture of garden is to stir the ground often. 1t
is trifing task to destroy acre of weeds If you
take them half an inch high, but very laborious
undertaking to get them subdued if they are once
allowed to make strong roots and leaves OF full
size.
