MINISTER TO MEXICO.

1t has been reported that Gen. Gadsden,
the popular South Carolinian, is to be ap-
pointed the American minister to the Mexi
can Republic. He was appointed aid to
Gen. Jackson in the campaigns of 1912 !;
and was nominated as Adutant General by
President Monroe. On the reduction of the
army he removed to Florida, and was the
unsuccessful candidate for delegate to Con-
gress from there, at three elections. On
Gen. Demands return to France, he was
appointed Brigadier General of United
States Engineers in his stead, which office
he recommended should be abolished and
resigned. He is a gentleman of high at
tainments and ability.
There was rumor, at one time, that
Gov. Seymour, (reeently elected Governor
of Connecticut, and associated with General
Pierce in the Mexican campaign would be
sent as minister to that country
Both the distinguished gentleman are
well qualified for that important post

ADVANTAGE OF ADVERTISING.

We respectfully commend to the attention
of all our business men the following valu-
able suggestion, from the lips of one Of the
wisest and best Of men:
"The commonest advertisements which
crowd our papers have a kindly order about
them. Say not, with a cynic sneer, as
though you were doubtful whether there
was anything honest in the world, when
storekeeper advertises his wares, that it is
all sheer selhshness for if it is pleasant for
one to announce fresh supply Of tallow
and wool, hardware, Or muslils, is it not
just as pleasant for one who wishes to know
it? When brace of young partners in
business insert their virgin advertisement,
informing the world how happy they shall
be to wait On customers, can you read it
without entering into their new career?
. Business advertisements waste paper
You Know not what you say. Those ships
which are to sail for every harbor in the
world-those fabrics which have arrived
from every commercial mart on the earth
this iron from Russia, tea from China. cot
ton from Georgia, sugar from Louisiana
do they not preach to US at the corners of
the street, at the entering of our gates, in
our docks, and in our custom houses and
exchanges, sermons on the mutual depen-
dence OF mankind"
1t is impossible for any one to compute
the practical advantages that result from
systematic advertising especially in
local daily evening paper. Such paper
becomes kind of fire side companion. 1t
wins your confidence; it secures your
esteem. You are inclined to regard with
favorable eye all it contains. Hence the
advertising columns of such paper are by
no means overlooked. They are read; they
are remembered; and their influence is felt
for long while to come
Advertise! if you would prosper.

MISCONCEPTIONS OF WASHINGTON

Perhaps there is no place in the country
more extensively misrepresented than this
Metropolis. 1t is visited and sojourned in
by such such widely differing classes of per-.
sons, by persons from such distant portions
of the confederacy and the world, by indi-
viduals actuated by such diverse interests,
that We do not wonder SO many and so vari-
Gus opinions exist with regard to it.
writer in one of eur ablest Northern
exchanges says:
"Whoever has seen much of Washington
with a philosophical eye, will not have failed
to see how much long service there warps
and circumscribes the political vision. Men
may 60 there young, with the broad views
and high aspirations of statesmen, who,
when old in service there, will exhibit the
narrow views and selfish feelings of place
men. They will forget every thing except
ing that the Government was made for the
distribution of patronage this patronage
consists only of dollars and cents, aud can
be obtained only through the triumph of a
party; all partizan organizations must ema-
nate from Washington, and the people are
merely machines of this organization, to
promote the personal interest Of the mana
gers. These veterans always take for gran
ed that the country cannot contain, at one

time, more than two or three men competent
for the Presidency and that its salvation
depends upon the election of one or the other
of this very select few. And after the cleo
ton, they take for granted that the success
of the administration, if not the salvationot
the nation, depends upon the confinement
OF all official station to another select few.
For years has this country been afflicted
with this incumbrance of Anticipated politi-
clans; and the result has been the sinking
of American political action to that mere
contest for spoils."
There is much practical wisdem in these
statements and suggestions, although we
think the parts of the picture touching our
older residents are rather overdrawn.
The real influence of Washington cannot
be seen or felt in day. As city it is en-
phatically sui generis 1t cannot be judged
of by any other city that is mentioned in
history. We believe it is to become more
powerful than Rome, more classical than
Athens; that its adjacent rivers and hills
are to be replete with monuments of native
taste, genius and art that its influence for
good is to be felt wherever the American
name shall become known; aud all this be-
cause republican principles and republican
institutions are to grow and prevail on the
earth
But in carrying out this great purpose,
the young and the old are to unite cordially
together. Hence, he who oyerlooks this
fact misunderstapds and misrepresen the
true character of the people of Washington.

Railroads to Washington.

We learn from our Maryland exchanges
that the Metropolitan railroad bill was
finally passed by the legislature of that
State, minus the provisions for capitation
tax, and for making Frederick city point
On the line This is the road which is de-
signed to touch the borders of the District
of Columbia. Its construction will not
only be an advantage to Maryland; it will
materially help the trade Of Washington.
We wish it success.

THE FIELD FOR LABOR,

Our able contemporary the Philadelphia
Ledger, speaking on this subject we'll and
truly says:
.'The master field for labor, if we NAV be
permitted to use the expression, is America
1t is on this Continent that it finds its ut
most scope in fertilzing the wilderness in
rearing human habitatious, villages and
cities in the desert; in connecting the
courses of distant rivers and oceans, in
opening daily new channels of industry and
wealth, and in achieving that far more hon.
orable conquest over nature, which the less
fortunate people of the old world pursued
for centuries over each other. But our con-
quest would be but half complete, and our
labor lost, if it were not the glorious mis-
sion OF our country to make labor respecta-
Bile in all its branches, and to exalt the
character of the laborers. Ii is in this re-
spect that the United States are now stand
ing at the head Of civilization, the great
culture people of the age; and it is in pro-
portion to our capacity to fulfill this mis-
sion, undisturhed by iawless cupidity or the
entailnen:s Of barbarous ages that we shall
be judged by posterity-that we shall take
rank among nations in the history Of the
world"
We most cordially commend these senti-
ments to the serious regards of all our
readers. Let them be borne in mind They
are words of wisdom and truth. No nation
ever prospered that degraded labor; and no
nation that does it ever will prosper. La
Dor, industrious, virtuous labor, is the
highest kind of labor; and he who despises
it knows not what true happiness is That
country is the most prosperous, always,
that, while it sacredly protects the invest
ments of capital, just as sacredly protects
the wages oflabor. Bear this in mind.

TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
The papers of this morning contain tele-
graphic dispatches from Norwalk, Conn,
from which we learn Of most frightful
railroad accident which occurred near that
place yesterday, by which ffty-two persons
lost their lives and many were wounded:
The morning train on the New Haven
Railroad ran off he drawbridge near Nor
walk yesterday morning, causing one of
the most serious railroad disasters that has
ever occurred in this country.
The drawbridge had been left open by
accident or carelesness, and the locomotive
and baggage car, with three passenger
cars, were precipiated into the river, pre-
senting frightful ca tastrophe, there being
upwards of one hundred passengers, men,
women, and children, either involved in
the ruins or sunk leneath the water in the
cars.
Great exertions we're made for the rescue
of those who readed the surface of the
water, and many Fave been saved, whilst
large number of dead bodies have been
picked up. One of the passenger cars is
entirely sunk beneath the water
All the employees of the company escap-
ed with slight bruises. At the time of the
accident the train was running at the rate
at fifteen miles an hour. The blame rests
with the engineer, the bridge tender having
displayed the usual signals as was certified
to by many of those who escaped. The
statements, however, are very conflicting,
and it is impossible, amid the general ex-
element and canfusion, to definitely ascer-
tain the facts
The engineer and fireman have been ar
rested, and will undergo an examination.
There was large number of physicians
on the train returning from attendance on
the Medical Convention at New York, some
OF whom are among the killed, whilst those
that were saved have been active in render
ing professional services to the wounded
Conductor Comstock was in the second
car, and escaped with many but not serious
wounds.
The Express Agent escaped, badly
wounded
The bodies are much disfgured, and re-
cognition in many cases is difficult. The
wounded have had ample medical attend
ance
The mails and baggage have been saved
in damaged condition. The drawbridge
was open, the steamer Pacific having just
passed through. The locomotive, baggage
car, and three passenger cars plunged into
the river; fifteen feet below the surface.-
Every person in the two first cars were
either killed or seriously injured.
Most of the bodies of those drowned are
supposed to be recovered, numbering in all
ffty-two.
Doctors Ives and Wilcox, of New Haven,
went down in the baggage car under water,
but broke out aud escaped.
The names of most of the victims have
been ascertained, either by personal recog-
milton or by an examination of their cloth
ing, papers, and baggage.
1t is probable that there will be other
bodies recovered, but it is believed that
there are but few if any more.
