FTiend,s Yearly Meeting.

The annual meeting" of Friends. Of both
Observation-Disclosures and Orthcdox-was
held at this place last week. The meeting Of
the former commenced on Monday week. and
adjourned on Thursday. The attendance Of
that branch wac not large this year. though
quite respectable in character. We did no.
hear Of any business transacted by them, Of
special interest. The financial affairs Of the
meeting were reported to be prosperous, and
the spiritual condition good On First day"
previous to the commencement. quite large
crowd assembled At the meeting house for
public worship, and were addressed in An in
teresting and edifying manner by George
Hatton.
The Orthodox body met on Thursday, and
adjourned on Tuesday of this week The
attendance was very large-perhaps greater
than at any previous meeting. Among the
Obadiah Chase and Moses n. Bedee. of
Rhode Island; Samuel Taylor, of Maine; Sen
sca and Persus Hazard, of Vermont; Richard
H. Thomas, Of Baltimore; Edith Griffith, of
Pennsylvania; Rebecca Updegraff. Of Ohio,
and Bridget Haight, of Canada. We under
stand that but little business, beside the ordi-
nary routine, was transacted None of the
exciting questions Of the day were before them
for consideration or action, Arrangements
were made TO divide the meeting" and hold
another one in Hendricks county, in this
State. This division will not, however, take
place until after another year.
The attendance at the meetings ''frs
day." was unusually large variously estima
ted at from 10 TO $1,000. Services were
held in the house. and also in the yard il
front, both in the morning and afternoon. a
which several able and highly interesting dis
courses were delivered by distinguished male
and female ministers. The discourse Of DR.
Thomas, OF Baltimore. is spoken of by spec
tators with special commentator. A truly
solemn stiffness pervaded the large GROVE
within the house. and the department of thos,
outside was generally quiet and respectful
The exercises of the day no doubt produced
permanent and salutary influence upon thos,
in attendance.

STATE LINE FAIR-We did not attend this
Fair; but heard that quite number Of people
were there, on the second day. Between FIVE and
eight thousand, is the estimate. The exhibition
Of Cattle, Horses, Sheep and masheens quite
respectable, asd, on the inside of he enclosure,
every thing passed off very pleasantly. Not
much, however, is said to the credit of the out
side exhibiton-was that not in the bills & are
told perfect medley of vice and immortality
gambling apparatus Of all kinds-auctioneers of
all serts-swearing of the latest style-black-
guarding OF the most filthy fashon-swaggering
OF the tallest cut, could be seen and heard all
around the enclosure, and Captain Whisky had a
fair swing, and completely commanded many Of
the Outsiders, aided by Lieutenant Ale and
Corporal Beer. Taking this Fair as a whole, it
was striking-ly Preliminary fights having oe-
Cured on the ground and in the regions round
about Several who were in attendance, express
ed themselves to Us "a being entirely satisfied,
and hoped to never look upon its like again"
The propristors, however, are not blame for the
bad conduct Of outsiders-they aimed to get up
an entertainment on a scale of "nagnifcence un-
parallsled" and if the weather had permitted.
they would have made hit Of it; but it was not
thus so to be the sequel proved, for the rain de
scsnded and the mud came and pastered mp their
calculations. The good order on the inside ef
the enclosure we heard attributed to the untirins
watchfulness of the Preble Rifles company 81
stalwart soldiers from Eaton Ohio. 1t Is sufi
cient to say of them that they did their duty.

UNITED STATES as. JAMES CoLLIER.-This
suit. which has for a long time been pending
in the U. S. District Court of California, has
lately been decided, and the accounts being
legally and fairly adjusted, it was found that
the Government owed Mr.. Collier about
$1,000. 1t will be recollected that Mr. c.
was Collector of the Port of San Francisco,
Cal, under the Taylor and Fillmore admins
tration, and was turned out on the charge of
defalcation. A great hue and cry was raised
against him at the time, and the locofoeos ex-

ACCIDENT on THE CENTRAL RAILRoAD.-
a frightful, though not fatal accident, hap
pened the passenger train going West, on
Thursday evening last. As Il was approach
ing the bridge over Nelan's Fork, near Cen
terville. in this county, a horse came upon the
track in front Of the cars, and before the speed
could be checked, the locomotive struck the
horse, throwing it forward just to the mouth
Of the bridge. The locomotive then struck
the horse again, and Immediately left the
track, blowing up the cross-ties, tearing up
the floor of the bridge, and denolishing the
side braces for distance of fifty feet, when it
made fearful plunge down into the bed of
the creek, distance of some 35 or 40 feet.
The tender, baggage car and one passenger
car were also precipitated through the open
ing in the bridge. with such force as to tear
the seats from their fastenings-the whole be-
ing piled in one confused mass of passengers,
stoves, seats and loose baggage. Strange to
relate, none Of the passengers were seriously
/ injured. The engineer was considerably cut
and bruised, but is now thought 10 be out of
danger. How he and those with him the
engine, escaped immediate death, is the won
der of all who have visited the scene. The
locomotive and cars still are ying in the bed of
the creek, a complete wreck
+ This accident was no doubt unavoidable so
far as the engineer was concerned, and is ono
that may naturally be expected to occur &C.
casonally on all unJenced roads. With all the
care that can be exercised by the most expe-
rienced and prudent managers of rail road
trains, they will sometimes run over stock if
the track is left free for them to get upon it.
The safety of passengers demands that the
road should be speedily fenced The expense
should not be considered for moment, when
so many valuable lives are at stake. 1t would
even save money to the Company in the end.
The damage sustained by this accident could
not probably be repaired much short of
$4,000 A few more OF similar kind would
cost enough TO fence the road several times
over, especially if the Company should be
compelled to foot heavy bill of damages for
personal I'M uries to passengers.

The State Journal notices the peach crop of
Mr.. Loughry. whose farm is on the Ohio NV
er in Adams county. Ten years ago he Set
out eleven acres with the choicest varieties of
the peach, the orchard being on the top of a
high hill overlooking the river. The Journal
says:
We leara from him that his eleven acres Of
peaches this year will bring him the substan
tial sum Of five thousand dollars or nearly
five hundred per acre. At the present time
when ordinary peaches are selling for from
twenty five cents upwards in Cincinnati, his
peaches readily bring two dollars per bu.hel.
The present season has been very prolific,
aud his peaches have been exceedingly fine
and large.
Mr.. Loughry stated to us the manner he
treated his fruit. When the peaches had ar
rived at the size of a hickory nut he employ
ed large force, and put in 1876 days work in
picking off the excess Of fruit Probably
more than three fourths of the fruit then on
tie trees was carefully removed. Each limb
was taken hy hGnd, and where within a space
Of l8 inches there would be perhaps twenty
FIVE peaches but FIVE of the faircst ones would
be left to ripen. By carefully removing all
but TIE choicest specimens. and throwing all
the yigor of the trees into them, the peaches
have ripened early. and are remarkable for
size snd excellent quality.
Mr.. Loughry says his trees are now in full
yigor. He keeps them trimmed in, and an
nualy removes about one half the wood that
is formed. He uses a compost, and onits no
thing TO bring them to perfection. His net
prof. from his eleven acres this year. will be
between three and four thousand dollars. He
is about extending hi. grounds. and will put
gu; fifteen acres in peaches, and a quantity IN
pears. apples, dc. His example in the fruit
line IS worthy the imitation of others. These
peaches are sent by steamboat to Cincinnati.
and from that point are sent By railroad to
Cleveland Buffalo, Detroit, and other places

BALTIMORE, January o, 1855
The blasphemous dogma Of the immaculate con.
ception promulgated by the Pope, which causes his
faithful adhcrents To be 30 intoxicated with Joy,
win serve good purpose, trust in this land Of
mental freedom. 1t will deepen that great gulf
which already separates those who have any faith
in gospel truth, from Romish superstitions and
idolatrous corruptions All who cannot subscribe
TO this monstrous doctrine are heretics and, viii
share the reawakencd hatred and contempt of every
consistent Papist Should not this consideration
serve to increase the watchfulness and revive
the zeal of Protestants, especially those who
have been fattcring themselves that Rome IL
not what she once was that she has changed
for the better, and given over her prosecuting
spiritf IL Roman Catholics are slayish enough
10 yield and surrender their common sense
aud reason to this impious bchest of the Pope,
they win not hesitate to obey any command from
that quarter. Let the past be warning for the
future.
A curious case occurred in the county circuit
court OF Baltimore, yesterday morning At the adj
journment of the court on Friday last tho bastardy
case OF George Reignor was given to the jury with
instructions from the court to seal their verdict
The jury agreed upon verdict on Friday after
noon, and this morning on II being opened was
found TO be guilty The counsel for the defence,
however, requested that the jury might be polfed
when, to the anazement Of all, one Of the jurors
replied not guilty. The court Immediately ordered
the jury back to their room to find more unani
nous verdict.
Another fatal accident has occurred on the Bal.
timore and Ohio Railroad. On Sunday, near the
Relay House, young man nsmsd Michael Craft, a
brakeman on coal train, missed bis footing while
in the act Of passing from car to another, and
falling beneath tho wheels, was mangled in most
horrible manner, causing bis death in few min
utcs. He has father residing in this city.
Yesterday was most delightful day in this lsti-
tude The wind, almost like summer breeze,
and the genial rays OF sun brought forth multtudes
Of ladies upon our thoroughfsres, but by nightsll
the sky became overcast with wintry clouds, and,
during the night, heavy fall Of rain and hail de-.
scended.
There was more activity in our stock market
yesterday, and decidedly better feeling was mani
tested In railroad shares.
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad stock advanced
Al so 70 81 rs per share, and Northern Central
shares advanced rs cents TO al.
The bresdstuf5s market continues without material
change except for Corn In which there was further
advance In price Of from 2 10 cents yesterday,
and the market very active and firm at that.
We may look for another foreign steamer about
Wednesday. Axrmcus.

FOR TIE AMERICAN oReA,

FOR THE AMERICAN ORGAN.
The Romish Church claims to be infalible In all
its teachings 1t can be demonstrated that this
dogma alone makes it's existence incompatible with
American liberty If doctrine promulgated by
that church is necessarily true, 1t does not admit
thereafter Of doubt or dscussion---t being not q
matter Of opinion, but an established fact.
There Is nothing which comes home to the heart
Of man 80 directly as his religion. Through the
whole journey Of lfe--from the baptismd font TO
the solemn ceremonies Of the grave--it keeps him
company. II sits with him by the Preside as he
walks the streets il admonishes him by the fune-
rails ofthc dead or the spires pointing to Heaven
II strengthens the bonds Of wodock, II watches by
the couch Of sickness and pain, II pervades the
chamber Of death. Il rises with him in the morn
ing and Hes down with him at night IN is ouuli-
present IKE the Deity II Is impossible to scpa-
rate the religious belief Of any people from tho
everyday concerns Of life. We cannot barter and
sell, we do not marry, nor be given in marriage,
We do not celebrate birth, nor solcmnize funeral
without It's interference. Oaths obligations, con-
tracts festivities and fast days. the division Of
time the laws under which we live, our rights, du-
ties interests and property all rest upon the broad
basis Of our religion. An absolute authority TO as
certain prescribe, define, and establish, to modify,
enlarge, amplify, and restrict this Alpha and One
ga of human life, Is despotic power over every
man within It's iron grasp.
II Is power to refuse tho rights of burial, or Of
mstrimony to dispense oatbs, to annul contracts,
because of religious belief II allows no discus
sion, IL permits no difference Of opinion in fact IL
prohibits nullics and destroys all right to opinion
IL enslaves the mind and anhibilates the liberty Of
the press. That II necessarily carries with 1t tho
right TO enforce it's cdicts by physical coercion Is
evident. That tho Romsh church has claimed and
exercised that power, Is a matter Of history.
Protestants present to all an open Bible, asking
only that II shall be read and that every one shall
form for himself clear and unbiased opinion Of It's
doctrines, and of the evidences Of its truth. They
invite discussion they leave TO every man his own
opinion they do not require him on the peril Of his
salvation 70 believe in the immaculate conception
Of the Virgin, nor In their own infsllbility. Tho
Church Of Rome does not claim TO be merely re-
