The "Chiyalry" Rampant.

A dispatch from Washington says ;
 Information has been received here by
 telegraph from Charleston; stating that
 the people in that city are furious at the
 passage of the Territorial bills. Upon receipt of the news. a public .denonstra- tion was got up. and the flag of the Union was trodden under foot. Meet~ ings have been called in number of dis tricts of South Carolina, to take action upon the present state of affairs"
 The Richmond Enquirer is equally excited because of the late decisicn of a Pennsylvania Judge in slave case at Haffisburgh. The editor raves after this fashion;
 Since the people of the Northern borders will not obey or respect the common laws of the United States, the people of the neigh> boring Southern States should make them know and respect the law of the sword. the rife, the tar barrel, and the grape vine. A fierce border war is evidently to be the only and hope of the Southern States.
 The people on the Southern border will take down the guns with which their fath> CTS slaughtered the Indians who stole their cattle and shoot the Yankees who stole their negroes. A foray into Pennsylvania or Ohio. with bnrnings to the ground of few such towns as Harrisburg, and Inc hanging of a few such judges as this ermined there named Pierson. would soon teach the anal inhabitants of Pennsylvania and Ohio, that the stealing of their thick Tipped relations and superiors in the South is not that delightful amusement they now take it 10 be.

PIVmouth Hotel.

Among all the pleasant summer resorts in which Etchfeld County abounds, we know of no more delightful place to whils away :. dog days " than Plymouth "a pretty struggling village, perched on top of hill five hundred feet above the Naugatuc River, overlooking the valley of the Naugatuc and half the country between the Hudson and the COnnecti- cut, with an occasional glimpse of Long Island Sound. For beauty of scenery, pure atmosphere. pretty girls, frank and generous people, shooting and fishing, it goes ahead of most any town of that fa- nous old County. MT. c. s. Osborn, of the Plymouth Hotel, is perfect model of a landlord. Every possible attention to the wants and qualification of his guests, is bestowed with a lavish hand and frankness that indicates more strong ly than words that his highest pleasure is contributing to their enjoyment. As the tide of summer travel is every year setting more and more towards the rural villages of New England, Plymouth will
 not long be overlooked by the seekers after real pleasure IT. Journal.

 Suggested by some remarks in the Ad-
 dress Of THOMAS K. BEEcHER, on ISab-
 bath evening, Sept 1st.
 A mother gazed upon her blooming ctild,
 In the first flush of youth ,and health. and hope, Her treasured, one in whom was garnered up
 The fond, deep love that only mothers know.
 And hopes. thigh trusting hopes, ofiuiure years Well might she gaze with pride on that brigh, face
 On the fair cheek of feycr-changing hue, Der which a smile is beaming like the bright And transient sunbeam lighting up the wave:
 Making more brilliant what was bright before. l We'll might she gaze into those deep clear eyes, In which seem'd mirrord every passing tho't,
 Each high and pure resolve, and love and trust, Ay, gaze ye on, fond mother! but take heed Thou lowest not too we'll the cherlsh'd one,- The treasure so much prized Is lent, not given. The scene is changed-for in darkened rooms Beside the little couch whe,e now is laic. In her s'las, dresmless sleeps' all that remains Ofthe bright, gladsome child the treasur'd one. The mother bends in fearless agony. And her full heart finds utierance in words Of wild, despairing, brOken,hearted grief: |" How can part with thee thou who hast
 been
 My hope. my joy, my pride-all that hasmade Life dear to me. O. fhenart gone. and Am desolate! No m6Ea Thy voice of song Falls on my ear-no more thy beaming eye Is raised to mine with sympathetic love. I cannot let thee go for all too bright And beautiful thou art tor death's cold arms" 'Tis but moment. and this wild despair Es past. and on the tranquil brow beams now { smile of hope, and the uplifred eye Tells us of heaven.born faith and holy trust. A voice to her is whisering, Mother, this Is not thy child-this little form go pale, So cold and motionless, is not the shrine Where thy true heart is garnered. No warm
 pulse
 beats tosthine, and ht eded not Thy fond caress this but the casket is. The gem. now purified from stain oi earth. With newborn luslre shines, and when God
 makes
 lis jewels up, thy jewel shall appear. M.

FhI0itrVUL RAILROAD AccrDENr.- The Springfield Mass Republican of the 10th inst. gives the following ac> count of Q disaster which happened to the passenger train from Albany the evening before. about two miles west of the Washington summit.
 While going at the rate of 20 miles an hour, the forward axle of the second car broke. letting it down upon the track, and iD this condition it was dragged along at rapid rate of speed for at least three hnndred yards--the broken axle, truck, &c., breaking through the floor and flying lip among the crowded pass- engers; the car at the same time bound ing and grinding along, partly on it's re- maining wheels and partly on the track and sleepers,
 The scene that was witnessed in the ] cars, among the passengers it is impossi- ble to describe. All was the most ter rible confusion. Scarcely any escaped injury in some degree and three were k:l4 led outright.
 The three were Col. s. e. Mountford, lawyer of New York city Miss Roesslet of Albany, daughter of the proprietor of the Delevan House and Mr. White. more of Leicester Mass.
 James Hagerman wss badly injured one leg broken--and taken away on lit- ter. Amasa Richardson of North Adams was much hurt by the handle of one of the seats being thrust into the feshy part of his leg. Three ladies were seriously injured, and rendered unable to proceed; but wers well cared for at the place of the accident. A number of the others were injured. but is hoped and believ- ed, as yet, but slightly. Among these were Mrs. Col. Dwight of Stockb,idge, and Mrs Hys lop,o the city of New York. l Col. Mountford was accompanied by a young daughter, whose bodily injuries were not serious, but whose mental ag- ony at finding her beloved parent and only present friend stricken down in horrid death, who can tell? Her con. duct is described as most heart rending on seeing the mangled and lifeless corpse of her father drawn from the ruins of the car.
 When the train was finally stopped, the car to which the accident occurred was almost an entire wreck. The wheels were torn off, the bottom broken through and the seats smashed up. The bodies, of the killed were mixed up. with the wreck, and it was some time before they could be extricated. When they were | found, they proved to be drcadfIillv man. gled and torn.
 Third car was detached from the sec ond just before the train was brought to stand, and stopped short of the latter- But for this, it with its passengers must 1 hays shared, in part, the fate of those be- fore them.
 Edwin B Webster, Esq. and family. of this village, were in the fated car at the time of the accident, and 'providen- tially escaped with but slight injuries.l Mr. Benjamin Sawyer has obtained verdict of $250 damages against the town North6eld, Conn.,, for injuries received by being thrown of bridge over deep cut of the Connecticut River Railroad in Shat town.
 The above is going tho rounds of the papers. North6cld, Conn.,. is a part of Litch6eld. and to bring the Connections River Railroad there would require more deep cuts " than !" North field woull be willing to bridge.--HsYt. CouranH | h. ' n-.
