HORRIBLE CALAMITY.

The New York papers contain the most
melancholy account, OF the anguish and suf-
fcring produced by a casualty in that city.
which resulted in the death Of some 60 chill
dren, and the manning Of some 20 or SO more.
A despatch to the Baltimore Clipper on Fri
day says:
New YoRK, Nov. 20.-A terrible accident
occurred this afternoon at o'clock, at the
new Public school on Greenwich asenue.--
An alarm of fire was raised, and the children
becoming frightened, attempted to escape
from the building. A large number were
crowding against the balustrades in the Sc
cond and third stories, when they gave way
and precipitated the children to the FIRST foo.
distance of some 40 feet Already 40
dead bodies have been taken out ofthc build
ing, and it is reported that at least 60 boys
and girls are killed. The scene was most
heart rcnding. Mothers frantic were seeking
their children, and their cries mingled with
those Of the dying victims attracted thousands
to the spot.
p. SO / 2, p. M.-Sincc the above
was sent it has been ascertained that besides
those killed, some 10 or 80 are MANNED
some of them for life Many Of the little
ones are SO drcadfully mangled as to be
scarcely recognizable by their parents. A
number of the wounded, it is supposed, can
not survive.
No language can half depict the distress
which exists in consequence Of this most mel
aneholy disaster.

THE GOOD CAUSE PROGRESSING.

From all quarters of the State we have the
most gratifying accounts Of the progress Of
the cause Of Summers and the Constitution.
Not only in the West is the cause strength
ening, but in the East also. A gentleman
from the South. west informs US that "a
change" is quite manifest among the people
10 bis region. and those who have professed
to belong to the Democracy have seen the
error of their way, and are now numbering
themselves in the strong Wing phalanx, which
is the Simon pure Democratic party of Vir-
GINA. They have listened too long to wits.
pers which have been broken to the hope
they have too long been wheedled by a name,
which is only a name, and nothing else
henceforth, they mean to follow something
more tangible, and potent with more good to
the country than the will o'the wisp Democ-
racy, which has led them for so many years.
Virginia which started first in the great Con-
federation, has fallen from her lofty estate,
and now ranks fourth, and all this under the
shadow of Democratic professions We re-
joiee that the scales are falling Of, and that
men are beginning to reason as men should
do. Let investigation be pushed--let light
be sought, and we have no fear but that Vir-
ginia suns win glow with increased bright
ness. and the vigor of youth iud itself en-
grated upon the old stock. after the 9Th of
December. Press on to the work Let ev-
cry man do his duty Trginia Herald.

Tbs gentleman addressed the good people
Of Jefferson at the Court House, in this town,
on Friday last. His audience. composed Of
Wings and Democrats. was the largest and
most attentive We have seen since the cele.
bratcd rencontre between Mcssrs. Stuart and
Lucas.
1t is hardly necessary for us to say, that
his effort was worthy, in every respect, Of his
high reputation and that it produced most
profound impression. The Wings stood en-
tranccd, and the Democrats amazed, at the
brillancy and power of his eloquence. We
have heard many of the first men in our ma
tional councils. and VIC would not be speaking

best of them.
lie reviewed with mastery ability the va
rious questions at issue between the parties,
and in strain Of eloquencc which made our
hair stand on end" depicted the deleterious
consequences which must follow this continu-
ed agitation of the doctrine Of secession !;
and. when he spoke of the glory and strength
and value Of the Union, there was not heart
(unless it were made of stone) in that audi
ence that did not pulsate in unison with his
and yrarn for peace, liberty and union, now
and forever. His vindication of himself from
the charge of being tainted with abolitionism
because Of his views of a matter of State pol
icy, expressed in speech delivered twenty
years ago, was 50 complete and satisfactory,
that even the Democrats were forced to ex-
claim, that charge at least is false.
He admitted be was an emancipationist,
and said he gloried in being called so, for he
had in the late Convention used his poor a.
bility. and with success too, to emancipate

We did say--aud it is true and undenicd-
that he voted for Mr.. Bcdinger, and asked
the Republican to tell its readers whether
Mr.. Grantham's views upon the subject of
secession do not coincide precisely with Mr.
Bedingcr's S, and whethc. Mr. Grantham is not
an anti compromise man? These questions
Mr. Republican has not answered We ask
candid public to draw the proper inference,
and say whether we have made coarse and
unfounded charges upon Mr.. Grantham. -
We regard Mr. Grantham as gentleman a
good neighbor, and most worthy citizen
but asa public man his public acts and opin-
ions are legitimate subjects of inquiry, and
the people have right to know them.

refer to the Republicans charges against Mr..
