ALABAMA ITEMs.-In speaking of the Pacific
Railroad, the Mobile Register says:
&c It is designed we suppose, to unite the pro-
jected road with the line of roads from Mont
gomery west through this State and Mississippi.
Messrs Walker and King have gone on to
Washington
We have already published a paragraph in
regard to the disastrous explosion of a locomo
tive boiler on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad.
The Register gives the following PARTICULARS
"The first serious accident occurred on the
Ohio road on Monday, at Deer Park, about
fifty miles from town, at which place the boiler
of the locomotive Mississippi burst, scattering
| the fragments in all directions, killing the
| engineer, and frightfully wounding three others
| All the afflicted reached the hospital here late
| at night, but the engineer, James Rogers, only
survived some two hours. There was large
hole in his right temple, from which the brain
exuded; it was caused, evidently, by an iron
bolt, for he was neither burnt nor scalded.'
| At Deer Park, Henry Searles, who is en-
ployed to look after the repairs of the road, got
up on the engine and seated himself next to
| Rogers, who was close to the throttle. lie re-
members seeing the steam cock tried, and that
either gas or foam came from it, when Rogers
| turned on the water, and in an instant the boiler
| exploded. Searles was thrown over the back of
the tender, and on the recol of the train, his
i thigh was broken, though the wheels did not
pass over it, Ben Buckley was also feartully
scalded, and his sight apparently destroyed ;
while the fourth man, name unknown, is less,
though much injured. .
From what is already known the cause of this
sad calamity is but too plain; and though culpa-
BILE neglect may have been chargeable on the
engineer, he has paid for it dearly with his life
We were visited on Monday night with one Of
the heaviest thunder storms we have witnessed
this season. The display of celestial pyrotech
MICS was exceedingly grand and beautiful, ane
the frequent and heavy thunder peals seemed t.
make the very earth to tremble. Wehave rarely
seen the atmosphere more thoroughly pervadet
7 with electricity and with the deluge OF ran
|, which accompanied it. We think 1t omlnous 0
] good to the continued health of our city.
q During the storm the house OF Mr.. ELLSWORTH
: was struck by lightning, but no one was injured
+, and not much damage was done.
Dr. Mcdonald, of Mount Meigs, Montgomer
county, was barbarously murdered by one c

D.. The iifst day OF dinner The poor young
marquislwas rather disconnected, when upon
entering the dining room his chances alighted
upon the very counterpart Of himself standing
stiff and self-centered behind the Englishman's
chair and he looked angrily at his rival to see
if any insult was intended, but the Englishman
was too intent upon making himself agreeable
to the lady to notice his ruled temper. The
The second day the same scene was enacted, al
though our hero had completely changed even
the style of his whole fournure, and then again
was the same ill-humor displayed during the
whole dinner, while Mr.. H was profting by
the silence Of his witty rival. The third and
fourth repetitions were too ridiculous. The
Young marquis, too clever, and too much the
man Of the world not to feel the absurdity Of
his position, prudently withdrew.

TopAcoo.-The St. Louis Republican saws

Importations Of manufactured tobacco are
growing less and less with US every year. Our
city manufacturers, with the advantages Of the
excellent leaf raised in the State, are able to
compete with the celebrated Virginia brands,
or any other, both as regards quality and price.
We have heretofore noticed several houses en-
gagged in this business, and to the list will now
add that of D. KIRKHAM g. BROTHERS, corner
of Elm and Commercial streets. These enter
prising young gentlemen are worthy the atten-
ton of the pnblic. Their brands are manufac-
tured from the best material in the market
We were particularly pleased with the g Know
Knothing" twist presented us, description es-
teemed by connoisseurs as remarkably fine.

LIVING SKELETONS. - Last week Mr. j. T.
Potter had on exhibition at Norristown, two
living skeletons, both from Bristol township,
Bucks county, named Joseph Brown and John
Hansell. The first one is about thirty eight
years of age, is over six feet in height, and
weighs some seventy eight pounds The other
| is about twenty-five years old, five feet six
inches high, and weighs ffty-seven pounds.
We found that Brown measured six inches
around the thick part Of the arm near the
shoulder, his arm being of the usual length.
Around his chest he was full thirty two inches,
showing that he had large frame His legs
were not SO reduced. He is evidently com
plete wreck When he walks his figure is very
crooked, much like an S in shape, and he ap-
pears to walk with pain. Hansells ankles are
only about seven inches in circumference. They
both eat and sleep well, and are cheerful, as a
general thing, and not often indisposed. What
is most singular is, that they have both been
much larger. the one having been carter on
the road, while the other worked at farming.
Brown thinks his present condition was induced
by an injury he received, while the others thin
ness came on without any apparent cause. They
are now about as small as they have ever been,
and both now and in former times used tobacco.
They are singular looking objects, and it pain
full to see them on their feet. They we're person
ally acquainted with each other before they
started travelling. One looks as though he might
4 regain his flesh, while the other is a broken
down man, and entirely devoid of flesh or fat ex-
cept the calves of his legs. @

The SUCCESSFUL BARRIsrER. to
the Paris correspondent of the Atlas, young
English barristcr had succeeded in marrying
Mdlle R., the wealthiest heiress in Paris and
connected with one of the highest families. The
The young lady was known to possess IN undls-
tinguished weakness for a we'll dressed man,
and by loudly expressing this opinion, had been
of more service to the taiors of Paris within
the last year than Count d'Orsay in double the
space of time. The barrister had many rivals,
but the most formidable was a gentleman &C.
knowledged to be the most approved dandy in
Paris. The lady selected these two to decide
from, and invited them both to her chateau.
The Frenchman declared to his friends that he
meant to cut the matter short at once by SO out
shining the Englshman by his dress that the
latter would retire from the field crushed to
atoms by the superior skill he was determined
| to manifest on the occasion.
The Englishman said nothing, made no boast
| but accepted the invitation, and, together, by
the same tram, the two rivals proceeded to the
seat Of war. 1t 50 happened that the French
dandy had furnished himself with q regular
rousseau for the occasion at the great English
Taylors in the Rue du Helder, and the English
| tailor out of sheer compatriotism had told Mr.

Though the Nebraska bill yet needs the an.

those additions to make it a law. We con-
ider it one already. The Countte now hasa long

nothing except as they get recruits from our

Congressi onal.

In the Senate, May Gath, Senator BENJ.-
MIN, of Louisiana, introduced a series of reso-
lutions passed al the recent session of the
legislature of that State, relative to the an
neSation of the Island of Cuba to the United
States lie said he, for one, believed fully
IN the Africanzation scheme, and regretted
that the distinguished Senator from Delaware
(Mr. Clayton) had discredited it,
MIR. CLAYTON replied, and stated that he
did not believe that the Senator from Louisi-
ana would ever be able to show that Spain in
tended to destroy the Island by the emanci-
patton of the slaves except as desperate
remedy against piratical expeditions from the
American States,
Mr., GwIN stated, that some years since,
when on a visit to Havana, he saw documen-
tary evidence which satisfied him that it was
the purpose OF the Spanish government in
the event of AN instruction, to set the slaves
free and place arms in their hands.
Mr. BENJAMIN delivered IA synoptical argu-
ment, in which he endea, ored to prove that
the system of Africani,ation was now actu-
ally in the course of execution
Mr. CLAYTON resumed and argued to show
that the Louisiana senator WAS mistaken in
his IDEAS. H. (Mr claytou) was perfectly
willing tu rest the ease ON the opinion of
Secretary Marcy.

He must be blind man who does not now
see that the slavohoding Power, is deter
mined to rule the nation. With it, any aues-
ton of increase Of its own strength outweighs
all others. All party divisions, on tariffs
public lands, and everything else which has
divided the great national parties, are push
ed aside by it, when it can gain by so doing.
The only remedy is in plain sight Every
man in the Free States should say, we too,
will hereafter stand shoulder to shoulder on
the side of Freedom and the Free States -
Our national party divisions may and must
remain for all questions which they can pro-
perly regard. But this is not one of them
On those we will act with all others of the
same national party as freely as ever, and
we will make compromises and adjustments
with our party friends or enemies If necessary,
but on this one rerer This question lies
deeper down than those do, it spreads wider
and lasts longer. If you of the slaveholding
section have over-reached us by your craft or
by your pertinacity in former years, and this
year by breach of faith which we did not
look for, you will do so no more, There is
no more truce in this war. We have bound
the sword to our wrists and we have thrown
away the scabbard. Within the limits where
the Constitution gives you the right you
may hug if you will, the enemy which is eat
ing out your own life. We NEEDLE not with
1T there, beyond the power of kind argument
and good example. But wherever lawfully
we can reach the dragons head, we will crush
1t ii we can Hereafter, re matter what our
other pclitica, relations are, ifany man shall
get our vote who will give his vote on any &C.
casion to help on the extension of slavery, it
will be because he has disguised his senti-
ments as cfectually as Benedict Arnold did
his treason. Such ought to be the practice
and the sentiment Of ercrp nan of the Free
States Such is the sentiment of the Hhigs
Of Vermont, and they will give utterance to
it, if we know them.
