A CRAZY EsGIHEER ON A LocoMoTWE.--The
locomotive which was to bring the morning train
from Bordentown to Trenton was missed one
day last week, and the engineers procured anoth.
er; when they reached Trenton they discovered
the missing one fast in the switcher, blowing of
steam at great rate.
"When they came to it they found man try
ing to rebuild the fire, and the water and cnders
splashing over him and the engine. 1t seems
that crazy man, hailing from New Hope, Pa
had come here from Bordentown on Monday
evening, and returned in the same train. Some
time during the night, or early in the morning,
this mailman had gone to the engine kindled a
fire, put on one of the pumps which had been
taken off and, not finding the oil, had melted
tallow, with which he creased all the apparatus,
and, putting on the steam, came up to this city
like a streak of CREASED lightning" The en-
CINE had been managed very well, az it was not
at all injured; but it is supposed he did not know
how to back it when it got in the switches here.
which were locked. We understand he must
have passed one or two switches before reaching
this station. He said he took the engine to see
how fast it could be made to go. He was taken
back to Bordentown, and sent thence to his
friends. His escape from destruction was very
lucky for him"

Important Seizures FORTY Vessels
Tied tIp!

The Chicago Journal of the LIST inst. gives
the following account of numerous seizures Of
vessels engaged in the lumber trade on the up.
per lakes. The Journal says:
The Government for the past few days, have
done Land ofiicee bushes in this region.
Forty-siy vessels engaged in the lumber trade
between Milwaukee, Chicago, and other points
upon this, and the other side Of the Lake, have
been seized by the u. s. Officers most of which
have been bonded. The officers are now here
awaiting the arrival of the balance of the fleet.
1t is supposed that vessels engaged simply in
the carrying trade will be released, but much az
are owned by the propretors of mills located
on, or supplied from land belonging to the Gov
eminent, will be forfeited to il.
1000 of the saw-logs seized short time since
at Grand River, were sold last week at auction,
bringing on an average one shilling each. This
sum netts the Government an amount equal to
the price for which the land can be entered.
The most efficient steps have been taken to
protect the public lands from depredations of
this nature, and we think with very fair pros
pect Of success,

past three years, Mr. Hamln has not swcrved' n

hundred and tcenty persons, mostly citizens Of st.

the little steamer Yankee and started for the for

out on the plains between the st. Peters and Mis-

STORM ON SATURpAy.-About o'clock p
m. on Saturday last, we were visited by sever
storm from the Northwest, accompanied by a
heavy fall of rain. Fortunately it was only Of
short duration, and we have heard of no injury
sustained in the City. We are sorry to state
however, that on Sullivan's Island, the shed
erected by the Ferry Company, on the end OF
the wharf, was blown over, carrying along with
it in its fall serveral persons who were happily
rescued from drowning, but severalof them were
severely bruised. A fishing boat, containing
three colored men, was capsized infront OF
the Island, and one of the party, free man
named William Gordon, butcher by trade
was drowned. The Steam Ferry Boat put of
Immediately to their relief, and succeeded in
rescuing the remaining two from the fate of their
less fortunate companion.
The schooner Hettewan, lying atLucas Mills,
on the Ashley river, was struck by lightning dur
ing the storm, and her mainmast shivercd in
pieces. a

without any previous warning of his illness.

PRESIDENT FILLMoRE's MEssAGE.-The mes
sage of President Fillmore in regard to the Texas
Boundary, a telegraphc report of which we pub
lis this morning, is an open invocation to blood
shed. We have read it with sincere pain. II as-
sumes the ultra Wing ground, and is based upon
the coolest defiance Of the right of Texas, three
times secured, by the solemn action Of the gov
ernment, and as emphaticay hers as are the rights
Of Pennsylvania to her soil and her limits. Car
ried to extremes, this message must necessarily
lead to violent issue between Texas and New
Mexico. If the information conveyed by the tel
egraph ia true, the President has planted himself
upon the ground assumed by the opponents OF the
recent war with Mexico, and deliberately throws
behind him the whole of the acts of the govern
ment, binding the United States to receive and
to sustain Texas in maintaing her legitimate
boundaries Such a message, at such crisis,
cannot faiIto be productive of the very worst
sequences. 1t will stimulate New Mexico to per
severe in her badly founded claim for State soy
ereignity, and it will still further enrage Texas,
now goaded and assailed by a combination Of the
most exciting and harrassing circumstances. We
cannot conceive why it is that Mr.. Webster did
not interpose to protect the Executive from step
so full OF peril. AT this junction it is most ill-
timed. Now. when the country is eagerly await
ing the settlement Of the slave question, the mes
sage Of the President is an ayowal to all malcon-
tents to go on in the course Of disafection. Fill
more even takes ground against the Bradbury
amendment to refer the whole dispute in regard to
the Texas boundary to Commissioners--whi is
neither more nor less than direct appeal to the
most serious alternative. The Bradbury amend
ment had in it much that was national, moderate,
and conciliatory. n. s....44 .r... ...a.s,.
Mr.. Fillmore has made fatal mistake in this
message. 1t is folly to disguise the fact. He has
sought to unite the old Wing sentiment North
and South, against the annexation Of Texas; and
he has taken his present stand, relying upon the
old Wing arguments against that measure for his
present support. But he hiss failed to draw the
proper distinction between opinions expressed
against annexation itself, and opinions based upon
the laws of the land The only interest, there
fore, which his message will crafty, is the Adolf
ton and Seward interest; and he will not have
even the poor qualification Of pleasing his own
party !-Pennsyirani gfi
