rleciing AN Uniied States Senator AZ
each day the Senate, by IA strict part!
vote, has adjourned before the invita-
ton could be seat in. How long the

anything which they may do, for there

are greatly snrp, p,ised al the parIici.. n
iiUD Oi Gov. a len liz mis- illegal ard

Go,. Allen, AMI have thought that he

what mistaken the man, rs he is pariic-
ipaiing Mnh his party in tins scheme,
and has twice run away wnh The Sen
ate irt the invitation of the House /;
his conduct certainly justi1es the fear
which we express.
Ii is vel known that Gov. Allen is

he knows thai if the two II,uscs DIN

IN all humnnprobabiIiiy, be graiilied.-

choice oi Senator until the May scs-
sion, with the hope that his party will
be- able 10 carry both branches Of the

Gov. Allei.'s Gcs re TO be Senator is

bui We are eXtremt y sorry to Il d that

opinion he would like TO have. We
irusi that upon reflection Gov. Allen
will see the error OF his way, and Iur-
sue Il different course from that which

A Terrible Tragedy.

A citizen of Louisville and one of the unfor-
tunate passengers who took that awful leap down
the precipice west of Cumberland, has so for re-
covered as to write home to his friends. His ex-
perience was one which few would wish to share
in:

in the first seat of the second car-Mr. H., of
Walkers sitting right opposite. l had time to
jump off, had known how bad fix we were in;
but believing it safer to reman,on second thought
I did SO. (The track was only 10A feet wide, as
measured after the accident.) The cars immedi-
ately fell over precipice. l thought of God moth
er and death. The first jump, about twenty feet,
my hat saved me; the second family remember
seeing women tearing their hair, aid children
screaming. The third fourth, and last jump
know nothing about, only that fell On my head
and saw thousand pieces of timber and iron fly
ing in the air, and then tainted. When opened
my eyes Mr.. T., who was lucky enough to have
been in one of the cars that remained on the
track, was at my side-my head was bleeding
profusely; with that exception 1 felt pefectly
we'll; not feeling then what suffer now. Such
sight as beheld, would not look at again for
all the world. Mutilated bodies, some mashed
to atoms, lying under the whees-ffty or sixty
men and women, their faces covered with blood
running as wild as demons. Mothers with bloody
hands and faces kissing the bodies of their dead
or crippled children. One woman with her dress
torn off screaming and trying to lift off the stones
that had crushed her husband. H., merchant

TEae Cost and Cause of War.

1t is computed that the war debts of Europe
range between $4,000, 900 and $4,000, ,ooO,-
900! The simple interest of that amount for a
year, would build railroad from Paris to Canton
or, for lustrum, feed all the poor of the earth!
In whose behalf has this immense amount been
expended. For the people who have paid the
money by their skill and labor! For the citizen
and peasant, or for the lordy and hanghty op-
pressors!
sTake the debt of Great Britain along, and anal
we the wars of which the money formed the sin
ew. How many millions were sunk in the vain
attempt to tax Americans English subjects
and not as English citizens! How many mill
ions to lay low the presumptous Corsician, who
flung legitimacy to the winds, and secuted the
s'right divine of Kings to govern wrong''
These vast war debts are due to the ROTH
cH1LDs, EARRINGS, and other millionares of Eu-
rope, who annually receive the interest, wrung
from the toiling masses. Wel-a day of reck-
oning will come, and these startling millions will
be washed out by the blood of the oppressor.
1t would almost seem, as ifgovernmenti in Europe
had been constituted for the express purpose of
international carnage; international, so as the
better to withdraw the people from the contempla-
ton and remedy of their own wrongs.-Ohio

No Go.-senator Badger, the other day, offer
eda resolution that the Secretary of the Senate
have published in the National Intelliqencer the
full debate and proceedings of the Senate, for the
late legislative session, and pay the same compen-
sation as is allowed to the Union and Globe, and
pro rata for what the Iateztigencer has published
during the present Congress. This nice little
scheme for squandering the public money, was
headed of by Boreland of Arkansas, who stated
that the inte4sgencer formerly had the official pub
hcatlon OF the debates, but relinquished it when
the Presidential election came on, because bv
publishing speeches on both sides, it would not
be an exclusively whig paper. The editors had
selected whig speeches to serve party purposes,
and now ask to be paid for them. The resolution
was postponed to next December, when of course
it will meet with signal overthrow-P. Dealer

The Japan Expedition.

A rumor has been recently circulated by por-
ton of the public press, to the effect that this in
teresting expedition either has been, or is about
to be, countermanded by the present Secretary of
the Navy. We learn from the Washington Un-
ION, of Tuesday, that all such rumors are entire
ly unfounded in fact. On the contrary, the ad-
ministration is making every effort to give all
proper aid in carrying out the important objects
of the expedition, and in fulfilling the public ex-
pectation in regard to it. 1t is feared, however,
the Union says, that the ship of the line Vermont,
and the steam frigate Allegheny, cannot be got
ready in time to join the expedition, which is now
rendezvousing in China. The reason assigned
is the great difficulty experienced in enlistng
seamen. This, however, will not interfere with
the contemplated visit of Commodor Perry to
Japan, with force amply sufficient and we'll
provided for the successful accomplishment of
the objects of his mission.

The MAN FOR THE TIME. .'-While most
English Journals are trying their best to abuse
our new President, the London Leader calls him
9" the man for the time" and closes very forcble
article with the following:
"And why is it that the Englishmen in the
educated classes are SO anxious to read him
with an "abatement % Because, long accus-
toned to action at home, or near it, Englis-
men can scarcely enter into the feelings of a
man who enters upon action and enjoys it, who
feels conscious of power and means to use it, who
addressing his country is stirred by an active am
btion for his country, and who, instead of fearing
national movement, looks to it with the eager
eye of hope. A Cromwell without Charles the
First to hinder him !; a Washington without even
a George the Third, is possible in America; and
the nations will be previously mistaken if they
do not recognize the fact that the star spangled
banner is borne by hands which are not new to
the gold, and have not seen their last victory.''
