The Lost Tribes.

A letter recently received from an officer
in the Staff of the Commander-in Chietin In
dia, furnishes the following intelligence, which
some think, strongly confirms the opinion OF
the Israel,ish origin of the Affghans. 1t is
dated from Headquarters, Camp Munnikiala,
Goth January, 1852:
"Having Just been through portion OF
Affghanistan proper, although now a part oi
our dominions, cannot help writing to tell
YOU how was struck with the Jewishness ol
the people, the moment we crossed the Indus
and not only their appearance, but every pos
sible circumstance tends to convince one taa,
they are the desccndanty Of the ten tribes
They call themselves BunneIsroel. Bunne
heing exactly Synonymous with Mac in Scot
land and Fite in England; andthcy nre proud
of it, where to all other Mahometans more
severe term of abuse cannot be applied than
Yahoodee or Jew. One Of the tribes that nt
present are giving us a good deal of trouble,
is called the 'Yousufzyes,' or the tribe of Jo-
scph; and the next to them are the 'lzacksie,
or the tribe of Isaac. Ishmael is a very COM
mon name among them."-hitto'S Journal.

OI5-It appears from the Railroad Record,
that only one person in nine thousand, OF
those who travel on cars, is injured at all, and
that only one in twenty-eight thousand is
killed.
The Record closes its statistics with the
following infercnces which it draws from
them:
lst. or all the persons in or about rail-
way, the passengers are in much the safest
position.
ID That the number Of passengers injur-
ed is very small in proportion to the number
carried and that of all modes of public con-
vcyancc, railwys are the safest.
Sd. That Of accidents 10 passengers, full
one half are caused by their own gross negli-
gcncc, and violation of the rules laid down
ior their observance.
4th. That of persons injured outside the
cars, the majority were 50 injured by their
own fault, in not taking timely care. or in
being intoXacated
9th. From the special returns Of the COM
punies, we find that most of the running of
the track" or being thrown off the track, was
caused by animals onthe track.
9th. Children on the track and injured,
was caused by the want Of fencing.
7th. From the last two facts,s it is plain
that preventative TO n large number of acci-
dents, would be Il strong and continuous fence
ing. We. hope to see this universally adopt
cd.
9Th. The most dangerous cause OF legiti-
mate accident is "collision." A preventative
of this, almost entirely, would be double tracks;
aud this, also we hope, will be adoptcd,on ev-
cry considerable railway in the country.
To these preventutives the Albany Reg g.
ter adds the following
9th. Every crossing of track, road or
a foot path, should be carried either opsr or
under the railway.
10TH Every part of tho road and OF the
train should be constantly and unreientingly
watched by force of poiece hired expressly
for that purpose, and having no other busi-
ness

COMMON SCHOOL QUESTION In CIN-
CLIMATE.

A distinguished priest of the Catholic T,
Chruch has been lecturing in Cincinnati ON
this exciting question. He announces the de-
termination Of the Church 10 "agitate! ogi-
tate!! agitate!!'-and not let the subject rest
until their designs shall be accomplished.
The newspapers represent Father McMahon
as saying:
ale deplored with an affected nceri,y, the
loss already of numerous young men and vo'
men in the large cities who had been bap-
tised, but had become alien to the faith Of their
fathers. lie said that the church wept over
them like Rachel, and would not be comfort
Cd
ale characterized the public schools as
the prolific source of the lattudinarian prin-
cipes of the day, the principal support OF in
fl iclty in the land, making, perhaps, their
scholars learned pagans, but not good Chris
tians. Catholics, then, he urged, could
neither send their children to these schools
ii they .cach the Bible, for they then were
wrecked in the Scylla of damnable error on
the one hand; or it the true word is not taught
in the Charybis of inldety and paganism on
the other. That they may be moulded and
stamped like clay in the hands Of the potter
Catholics were highly censurable if their chill
dren were not placed in the hands of teach
ers of their own faith. The State Superin
tendant, who may control the vast machinery
of this system, was the subject of his earnes
consideration; and the Rev. Father seemed
dcsirous that the engineer should be goo'
Catholic. For the people Of the great Stat
of Ohio, we can dare say, the voters will Ger
taiuly not employ an engineer who will blov
up the boiler, and destroy what he should safe
ly direct.
'He strictly charged parents not to sen
children to our common schools"
