RAILROAD CALAMITIEs.-During Tues
day night an ezra train was dispatched
from this city to Lancaster, Oh the Buffa-
10 and New York Cisy Road, for the pur-
pose Of carrying a corpse to that place.
On reaching the village a boys hat and
q quantity OF blood were found on tie
cow-catcher. Tie person in charge of
the train proceeded slowly on their way
back, and at length discovered the body
Of a lad, some fifteen years of age, over
which the train had passed on is down
ward course. They sought out the faith
er of the boy, who told them that he ran
away from home few hours beforc-and
this was his reward!
Yesterday morning the 8 O'Clock Ex-
press train on the same road ran over a
double wagon containing g man and two
little girls. This was about seven miles
out Of the city, where the Seneca street
plank road crosses the track. Il seems
that the horses became frightened before
the cars made their appearance and star
ted to run. AS they nearcd the crossing
they encountered another team, which
was urged en- and passed the track before
the train came up, The other horses were
quite unmanageable, and came upon the
rails just as the engine reached the point
Of crossing. The result of the collision
was the death Of one horse, and the Sc
we're injury Of one of the little girls
The rest escaped without any injury worth

A CASE OF BREACH OF PRoMIsE.--A
case Of seduction and ,alledged breach of
promise came up before Justice House, a
few days since, which was rather novel
and difficult for the Justice to decide upon
imparttally. It appeared that German
woman, who has recently arrived in this
country from Germany, met a German
widower, named John Howbacker, a res
ident of this city, who proposed to the la
dy to go home and live with him for a
short time on trial, and if he concluded
she would make him good wife he VOC
marry her. She consented to the arrange
ment, and lived with him as his wife for
about seven weeks, when she became i'm
patient to have the ceremony ofmarriage
performed. John, however, appeared i'll
no hurry, and the lady complained to the
Justice, who issued warrant for seduc-
ton under promise Of marriage, and all
the parties were brought before him. On
the trial the fact Of the agreement was
admitted by the lady, and John contend
ed that she did not come up to the terms
of the contract, or in other words, she was
not a ''good wife, . while the lady seem
to be under the impression that she was
a good wife. Justice House, after hear
ing all sides, suggested to John that he
had better pay the lady a dollar a week for
her services andseparate. She expressed
perfect willingness to abide by tie de-
cision, and intimated that she had rather
have the seven dollars as to have John.
Join paid her TIE seven dollars and she
went away rejoicing.
A few days atlerward Mr.. Howbaoker
actually married another lady still more
recently from Germany, and on Monday
last, before the honeymoon was over, he
was arrested for assault and battery upon
his new wife, and gave bail to appear at
court and answer the charge. Johns do
mestic affairs do not appear to be of the
most delightful Syracase Star.

ance would be unjust. Therefore we say
plainly and explicitly to the Richmond En-
qui,er, that the contest it has provoked it shall
have to its hearts content No matter what
personal pain that contest may infict on us
no matter what old associations may be sever

may be endangered, there is a point at which
forbearance ceases to be a virtue. We have
not only our own defence to make, but we must
defend sound democratic principles-we must

INCREASE OF THE PAY OF OFFICERS
AND SOLDIERS OF THE ARMY.

Armies are necessary evils. However cult
waited the officers-however well disciplined the
men-however captivating to the imagination
they may be rendered by their chivalrous and
heroic exploits-their gallant achievements
and their brilliant victories, armies are still ne,
cessary evils. But in thus expressing our.
selves, we mean no more disparagement of ar
mics than of navies-than of courts Of law
of constitutions, Of governments, for they are
all alike amenable to the same criticism. Nor,
indeed, is the sarcasm implied in the criticism
applicable to them, but to the natural imper-
fection Of man. If man were what we would
like to see him-but what he will never be-
the plans and contrivances of purists and per-
fectionists to the contrary, he would require no
restraints, either military, civil, or social. He
would do right without law-he would render
Justice without battle-he would regard the
polished proprieties of polite life without for
NAL rules or stringent regulations.
But armies are necessary. They were ne
cessary in the remotest days Of antiquity, they
will be necessary to the last syllable of record
ed time. Being necessary, they sould be SO
organized as to be efficient. Large standing
armies in times Of peace are needless; more
than that, they are dangerous, and chiefly and
especially are they dangerous and unsuited to
a republican country like ours. But the jeal-
ousy the natural and well grounded jealousy
of large standing armies that exists among us
and which we hope will always exist, should
not prevent us from making the army as large
as is necessary, absolutely necessary, and as ef
fcient as it should be. This we propose max
ing the subject of some comments this morning.

Affairs, is composed Of Senator'S Shields, (chair-

Hon. Jefferson Davis, Secretary of War, in
his report recently published by us, recon.
mends, amongst numerous other improvements
an increase Of the army, and an increase of the
pay Of the men and officers Of the army.
He sustains these recommendations by for
midabe array Of facts, and by arguments Al
once cogent and lucid. We gather from his
report that the authorised strength Of the army
is l3,82l--officers and men. Its actual strength
is only l0,4l7. He thinks this force manifestly
inadequate SO to guard our extended frontier

New BoOks.-One ofthe most successful books
of the present publishing season has been Hill
Aard's Sir Months Italy, from the press OF
Ticknor, Reed & Fields, of Boston. Two large
editions of it have been printed the first having
been taken up in the first month after publication
The same house has sold more than ten thousand
copies of the poems of Alexander Smith, the Glas-
gov prodigy.
We have seen the sheets Of the new edition of
the Complete Poetical Works Of Thomas CampbeH
with an original memoir and .G,1y more poems
acknowledged as fully authenticated) than are
contained in any other edition. 1t is edited by
Epes Sargent, esq, and is from the press of Phil
Lips, Sampson & Co., of Boston, who propose to
issue complete series of the standard British
poets in the same style--the next to be published
being the works Of Samuel Rogers. DIR. Holmes,
we think, styles Campbell and Rogers the ''cassc
sentimentalists"- them in niche by them
selves They are perhaps the most popular of the
poets of their school. Campbell's Pleasures of
Hope had passed through more than hundred
bona fe editions in the first half century after its
publication. In typographical beauty the present
edition is superior to any that has preceded it.
