THE WAY To co EAsT.-We have just
been shown, by ]. S. LANSING, Agent of the
n. Y. & Z. Railroad, mapof that road; and
we confess, to use the words If Mr.. L., there
appears from it to be no other route to the
East. The completion of this road was in
deed great triumph Of the genius and en-
ergy of its officers, and far surPasses any
similar undertaking. The excellent and
methodic system adopted and followed by
the officers of the company, has placed the
Road beyond the reach of rival routes, and
presents to the world one Of the most perfect
and complete systems known in railroading
II is, in fact, the MODEL ROAD of our country.
There is not, we venture to assert, road in
the world which presents ON array of officers
and attaches so well qualified, as the New
York and Erie.
This road is a sir foot guage, the cars and
seats so wide, and fine, aud clean, as to pre-
sent to the traveller the appearance Of the
most tyxuriops retEcats q ease and comfort.
A large family may occupy but two seats,
and yet they will not be crowded, and our
advice to all those who may travel East with
their children is, to take the New York and
Erie route without fall
The company have double track, almost
the entire length of the road, and Telegraph
line all the way, with battery at each sta
ton, thus enabling conductors to announce
every accident, (and but few happen,) thus
rendering collisions impossible.
Travellers by this route can leave this city
on the early morning trains and arrive in New
York the next day at noon; either by the
Central, indianapolis & Cincinnati, or the
Bellefontaine roads, all of which roads con-
meet with the n Y. G. +. and ticket passeu-
gers through to New York and Boston
Boston passengers can stop over in New York,
and resume at pleasure, and have the choice of
three routes, Fall River, Stonington and Nor
wich. Let all going to the city of Notions
try this route; they will be satisfied with it.
Mr.. LANSING has also shown US new
Stock Bill, for Drovers, by which we see the
N. Y. & e. R. r. has made ample provisions
for those taking Stock East, as they can stop
half way from Dunkirk to New York and
feed aud rest their cattle, without any addi-
tional charge for stopping. Try them, as
they are perfect in their freight arrange
tients.

yellow Power.
A correspondent of the Journal Of Com


A correspondent Of the Journal Of Com
D,erce, who writes from Newport says
a committee appointed by the American
Medical Association, to investigate and report
upon the origin, cause, and proper treatment
of the epidemic-especially the yellow fever
and cholera-met in this place last month,
and are engaged in the discharge of their du-
ty. But their report which is to be the sub
iect of mature consideration and investga-
ton, will not be made till the next meeting
of the Association, in May, 1853 1t will be
in time to show us how widely doctors will
disagree, and how vainly we attempt to grap-
pie with grim death-whether he worketh in
darkness or MONDAY.
/ have never yet found any two or three
medical men who could agree with each other
as to facts or theory on this subject, even
though they had practiced in the same places
and been cognizant of the same cases. 1t can
not be said, however, that they severally lack
any confidence in their opinions, whatever
these may oe.
But may also remark, as to the subject
of the origin of the yellow fever and of its
portability, or the means of its propagation,
that / have known judges and lawyers of
Southern States, who were quite in the habit
of weighing evidence, and who had also much
experience of the pest in their respective
neighborhoods, who have arrived at widely
different conclusions from the same facts, and
have also, in some instances, had occasion to
change their opinions.
1t cannot be denied, however, that there is
an increasing tendency towards the opinion
that the yellow fever is imported, and may
be excluded from most of our ports, by strict
quarantine or sanitary regulations. 1t may
be indigenous in New Orleans, but it is not in
Norfolk, Baltimore and New York.
If we may believe that the fever was i'm
ported into Rio Janciro five years ago from
Africa, we may believe that it was imported
into Norfolk this year by steamer from Rio,
that came into that port in July with the
fever on board. 1t is quite certain that Rio
had never been visited by the yellow fever
before, and the general opinion there is that
il was brought over from Africa. But if we
are to rely upon quarantine Tor protection
from the pest, we shall not escape it-for the
most rigid quarantine can be, and is, evaded.
/ see that DR.. Mott, of Mobile, has got a
rap over the knuckles from one of the pro-
fession, for having ventured the extra pro-
fessional opinion, that epidemics are scourges
sent by God upon generations of men, at in
tervals, in all ages. But after all, it is not a
dictuna that is capable of refutation, and it is
the only opinion as to the origin of pestilence
| which is not refutable

Practical AbolitionismI !

AS rich moral of the passing political
history" we transfer to our columns the fol-
lowing from the New York Herald of Thurs
day:
A Liberty Party State Convention was held
at Utica yesterday. AS only about twenty
delegates, black and white, attended, we con-
clude the affair passed off harmoniously. The
following ticket for State officers was nomin-
ated
Secretary of stato--Fred. Douglass, (black
man,
Comptroller-Lewis Tappan, (white man.
Treasurer-James G. Delong, (white man.
Attorney General-Jas. B. Pashan, (black
man.
Canal Commissioner-Wm Smith, (white
man,
State Prison Inspector-G. W. Clark, (whitc
man,
Judges Court of Appeals-B. Green, VIM.
Goodell, (white men.)
A series of resolutions, embracing the pecu-
liar dogmas of this sect of fanatics, was
adopted by the convention.

Am erican Ladies' Bathing.

I" i was greatly amused" says Charles Rich
ard Weld, IN "a Vacation Tour in the United
States and Canada" :. the following morning,
observing the ladies' bathing; for, as they are
attired for the double purpose, as presume, of
bathing and being seen, there is no inpropriety
whatever in looking at the fair creatures in the
water. The garments worn on these occasions
are OF the gayest colors, consisting of a Bloomer
kind OF f-costume, in which the upper part con.
trasts strongly with the lower. The head is
generally surmounted by a quantity shaped
white cap, which seems to have made n deem
impression on the author Of a poem on Nahant.

In truth, It IS strange scene; and does not

trousers OF all eolors, and countless pairs of lit

bathing must be as conducive to health as it Is
an e1xhileration of spirits; for, during my trav-
els, saw no ladies with such glowing complex
ions as those at Nahant In the words of an
American enthusiast, They come down to
breakfast after their bath, freshenel up. looking
as sweet and dewey as an avalanche Of roses.

0HrOn Saturday, the 9Th, as the up rain
of the Philadelphia and Reading r. r. near
ed Norristown, Penn, the engineer discover
ed that several of the cars of the train were
off the track, and working right and left, the
train being upon an embankment He kept
the train stretched and checked it by degrees.
The train numbered nine cars, six Of which
were thrown fiom the track. The wheels
and gearing of the detached cars were entire
ly torn away. Some 500 persons were in the
cars. All united in giving the engineer great
credit for his presence of mind, as to it only
were they indebted for their lives. Before
the necessary trains were secured to enable
the passengers TO resume their journey, they
made up handsome purse for the engineer

0TThe Augusta (Maine) Age, the leading
Democratic paper of that State, of the 18th
instant, says:
As our paper goes to press, one hundred guns
are being fired in this city, in honor of the tri-
umph achieved over the Fusion dynasty and
we understand the city is also to be illuminated
with fireworks. The victory is well worthy ol

It has been charged that Gov. REEDER was
removed because he was unfriendly to the
bro-slavery interest. But his conduct does
not correspond with this view of the case.
When armed men from Missouri invaded
the territory, and by violence took possession
of the poles, and pretended to hold an cleo
ton, which was no election, it was the duty
of the Governor TO have refused certificates
OF election to men not entitled to them by
law. Tho K,.sss.s aet provides that the Cow
ernor shall appoint and direct the times,
places and manner of conducting elections.
and the person having the highest number of
lsgol votes shall be declared elected By the
Governor In case of gross violence and
fraud it was clearly his dutytO refuse his GER
tifcate. But he failed to do this, and hence
all the subsequent difficulties, and all the
color given to the clamOr Of the Aboli6Onists
REEDER lacked the nerve to destroy these
reasonable Vaccinations in the bud; and
now they have grown TO a formidable size.
But we have no fear of the ultimate re-
suit; Justice will finally be done and Kansas
come in as a free State if such is the will of
her bona fide inhabitants. Says the Journal
of Commerce on this point:
"If il be true that a large majority Of the
people Of Kansas are in favor of making it a
free State, any temporary advantages which
may be gained by such transactions as those
above alluded TO, viii ultimately react upon
the slave-hOlding interest. The Evening
Post, which appears to have had recent
confab with some person from Kansas, says,
Throughout the Territory, Jfve-sevenths of
the residents at least, are decidedly against
the introduction of slavery, and would have
elected legislature of their own way of
thinking, if they had been permitted to vote."
We should not be surprised to know that
this is true statement. Considering the geo.
graphical position of Kansas in reference to
the North, and to the tide of emigration from
Europe, we should expect that it would be
so. In short, what we predicted while the
Kansas Bill was pending, viz, that the Ter
ritory, when organized into State or States
would be free, and that whatever slaves
should be introduced in the meantime and
remain there, would become free also in o
few years, is in fair way to be realized. The
number of slaves in Kansas at present, is
probably from 200 to 800 In Nebraska next
to none."

Instead of finding religion and morality at

were out in little groups, around the camp,
playing cards, pitching quates for money, and
