ANOTHER WARNING--AwFUL ACCIDENT
The New York papers contain heart rending ac-
counts of another dreadful casualty on the NJ
Y. and Erie Road, near Equinunk, in which the
rear car OF passenger train ran off the track,
while the train was rounding curve, at the rate
of twenty miles an hour, and the car fell over
the bank 80 feet into the rapid and deep Della
ware river, running at the rate of five miles per
hour, and filled with floating ice. The conduc-
tor and passenger were rescued by ropes from
the ice, and the passengers inside the car were,
after incredible exertions, hauled out of their
floating coffin by ropes, many of them severely
injured, and four or five already dead. Much
blame is attached to the managers of the train
for the want of a signal line, by which the train
could be stopped on the first symptom of acct
dent Thirty or forty people were said to be
more or less hurt. An investigation will be had.

The CALIFORNIA FEvER.--At this moment
there are hundreds of western people on their
way to California, and many more are preparing
to 90 at the earliest practical moment. Some
have made great sacrifices of property to raise
the necessary means, and there are others anx-
ious to make such sacrifices to obtain money to
60. If there was any doubt indeed, on the sub
iect, we should not think of interposing word
of caution. There is not, however. All concur
in the declaration that those who can live here
ut all comfortably, should remain, and the testi-
mony is universal, that those who are well off
here, in property, should never for moment
think of leaving. "Wages in California" said
California friend, the other day." will be as low
or nearly so, as in Michigan-then will be the
time to make money with capital" Capital, our
friend thought, would have the advantage; for
there would be suffering and misery, and it
could make its own terms. Thousands and
thousands are going there, and they are going
to a country where the industrial interests are
disorganized, to country where, whatever may
be its wealth, there is no system, no arrange
ment and such a place is dangerous ground
upon which to crowd men. There is popula-
ton without production, and that is the nearest
point to starvation and suffering. 1t is the next
neighbor; and those who 60 to California sho'ld
regard themselves as having bought ticket in
n lottery, with the pledge of themselves, and
that there are one hundred blanks to one prize.

~ Readers, you can do us n favor Lis
ten, while we whisper it audbly in your ear, for
know, that exertion alone will grant it.
We want three hundred good subscribers to
the Times, and you can get them. We propose
to tell how this can be done. Each of YOU
know of some one or more who take no paper,
but who ought to by all means. Many of these
persons who are without newspaper think, in
all honesty, that they are too poor to pay the
subscription &C., and in all probability will
make their poverty The first objection to your
solicitations. Convince such that farrow cow
is not more essential in family than news
paper, and you have their names. Men are
measured by the capacity of their minds, not
by the cubic inches in their physical frames
and in order that the mind may be fully devel-
oped it must be supplied with food-must use
milk and cream freel y-not, however, such as
the farrow COW yields, but that which is in good
part supplied by a newspaper.
There is not one among this numerous class
of indigents but what would like to be ntelli-
gent, and see their sons and daughters prepared
for useful and important stations in life. Urge
this strong plea, with force and ingenuity, and
their ideas of poverty will vanish like morning
dew before the rising sun.

GEN. CAss GREAT SPEEcH.-The Interven-
ton speech of this distinguished statesman, is
eliciting the applause of the nation. The pub.
lie press throughout the Union without distinct
ion of party, have very generally awarded high
praise to this latest effort Of the great Senator.
We find the following in the Cleveland Plain
dealer.
Gen. Cass has made the great speech of his
life, on the resolutions of Mr. Clark on non-in-
tervention. His ground is we'll laid out, his po-
sitions are impregnable-no Senator can, or will
even dare to meet the question, as presented by
the Michigan Senator. His speech is statesman
like full OF glowing thoughts, of unanswerable
arguments. 1t is backed up by the facts and the
law, which exhibit great research, and profound
thought on the part of the speaker The pens
OF our most eminent jursts and statesmen, have
not and cannot produce more valuable and able
State document than the speech of Gen. Cass
The true doctrine is laid down by him and let it
go forth broad cast into every city and town,
into every cot and hamlet of this great Repub-
lic"
The dictator of France would not permit
Kossuth to pass through that country, but, hav-
ing no fears of Count Batthyani, lets him re-
side in Paris, from which he dates his mssive
against the eloquent exile whom the despots
OF Europe fear and hate. Says the N. York
Times
"Count Batthyani, from his home in Paris,
has the heart to reproach Kossuth for his indy
ing devotion to their common country. The
stigma does not come well from that quarter
nor does 1t wear that impress of generosity
which nobility should show. Count Batthyani
will live to see the day,-nay, if he would but
seejt, the day has already come,-when his best
title to the remembrance and respect of men
will spring from his having been associated with
Kossuth in the struggle of their country for
freedom. If he is of an envious spirit, it may
be this conviction that prompts him to asperse
the man whose name will live, long after that of
Batthyani shall be found only on the patent of
his nobility"

About halfpast 10 last evening the inside of
three-story building on Water-street, occupied
by Campbell a. Chess, as n tack, nail, and brad
warehouse, and by Edwards, Morris a. Co., as
the Excelsior novelty works, was discovered to
be in flames. The engines were soon on the
spot, but the fire had so firm hold that it was
impossible to dislodge it, more especially as the
storerooms were so long that the engines could
not reach the interior.
Very little of the stock, which was very valu-
able, was saved. The flames spread to the gro
Gerry and warehouse of Jacob Forsyth, jun., be-
low, containing large stock Of goods, which to-
gether with the building, were entirely destroy
ed.
The last building in the block, occupied by j.
Irwin g. Sons as rope and cordage warehouse,
then took fire, but not before a considerable
portion of the stock was saved This house
contained $50 tons hemp. The flames burnt
with fearful rapdty, it being confined by win
dows in the rear. The three buildings, with the
greater part of the contents, were entirely con-
sumed. They were covered with graveled
roofs, and believed to be fire-proof. The stock
of all three belonged to John Erwin, who had
an insurance of $4,000. His loss is probably
covered by insurance. The stocks of Campbell
e. Co., Edwards, Morris, & Co., and Jacob For
syth were insured. The North American and
Western Insurance Company are the losers.
AS we write, the u. S. Custom House is on
fire. The books and documents have been So
we'd.
LATER.-The fire at the Custom House has
been extinguished. The books are slightly dam
aged. The stock of Woods & Son, commission
merchants in the building above the Custom
House, is much injured by water. The tota
loss will exceed $4,000.
