somewhat notorious individual who goes by the
cognomen of the "Soap man is stumpiDg
Pennsylvania for Fillmore. At the last accounts
he was at Easton, Pa, exhortng the people to
save the Union by voting for the New York

Gardner of some responsibility in this city, and
we hope not to be considered impertinent if we
inquire whether the State of Massachusetts or
Mr.. Filmore's friends have to foot the bills Tor
this new ally of the Fillmore faction in his cleo
pioneering tour.

COAL LOCOMOTIVES. After variety of
experiments, A. $. Adams, master maohinist
Of the Boston and Worcester Railroad has
now on operation freight locomotive adapted
to burning coal, which seems Sd well to meet
the wants Of the road that all tho engines of
the company, used in drawing freight, are to
be altered to the same style. The engine in
question, the "Bison," has one Of the Dola.
no CRATES, by which the coal is forced from the
bottom up through the bed of fire. The CRATE
IS but thirty light inches in length, but by its
manner Of operation all the gas is consumed.
and the top OF the bed of Goals is kept always
ignited, no new coal ever being thrown upon
it. The draught is always kept good, and is
never obsructed by clnkors. Careful osti-
nations OF the precise cost Of running this
engine have been made, and it appears that
with it for twelve cents per mile a common
freight train can be ran and make the usual
speed. wood engine to run the same train
cost thirty cents per mile. The saving, as will
be seen, is very great. The cost of altering
common wood engine to fit il for burning
coal is but 800 Trapellcr.

fatally injured.

Lehigq with the New Jersey road is inter
rupted.

Fremont and Dayton Flag 5n Harvard.
A beautiful Fremont and Dayton flag, twenty
one by thirty feet in size, to day flung to
the breeze by the Harvard Fremont Club No
such day. no such scene, no such gathering, 10
sucE enthusiasm in politics has ever been witness"
ed in this town before.
The flag bears three Inscriptions Across the
top we find - Liberty and the Union y; across
the centre, /" Free Speech and Free Territory -
and across the bottom, =" Fremont and Dayton"
The flag OF our Union was lif ed above and
streamed proudly over the flag of Freedom, while
many Others of smaller size waving around.
Dea. j. N. Stoue Chairman of the Com

officiated President of the day. Enthusiastic
speeches were made by Capt. Savage, Messrs G

and J. B. Carpenter. The exercises were inter
spersed and enIvened by scores of hearty cheers,
AMI by the singing of several spirited songs by a
company OF ladies and gentlemen under the direc.
ton of Messrs j. NJ Whitney and L, Pollard Jr.
1t should be stated that the 81 States of the
Union were represented on the occasion by 81
young ladies dressed in white A great crowd
was gathered of old men and women, and of
young men and maidens, and all hearts seemed
fired with one and the same spirit. We will not
attempt an estimate of the number present. Suf-
flee it to say that the appearance of the assem-.
blage presented marked contrast with that of
the nineteen forlorn individuals who were gath

of the BUCCANEERS.

1t is stated that a call will be issued in a few
days, for State Convention of those of the
American party in favor of Fremont and Dayton,
and opposed to the nominations made by the
Faneuil Hall Gardner Ameriean) Convention.
We copy the above from the Boston Traveller
Otner means we believe that the statement is au.
thentic. The great body of the American party
are thoroughly Anti Slavery, they are in favor of
Fremont and Dayton therefore, " without any
why or wherefore" and they are determined that
the success of that ticket shall not be eopardized
in Massachusetts by few mere place hunters, who
wish to make it secondary to the selfish designs
of their leader. Such a convention at this time,
will open the way for such union of the voters
in Massachusetts, as every freeman in the State
desires to see.

from Washington: 81 am credibly informed

the lodges of the State to cast their votes for
Buchanan instead of Fillmore This edict
has been privately communicated to the mem
bers OF the order, and there is no reason to
doubt thatit will be carried out. The grounds
for taking such course are, that the elections
have proved that Mr.. Fillmore cannot carry a
single State, while there is no chance of his
receiving any electoral votes from the North
and that it behoves the South to present n
united front in such crisis as that she has
now to pass through"

STEPHEN BALL HUNG BY THE TORIES
Staten Island was occupied as a British
post during the greater portion of the war
for Independence, and was an important po-
sition, as it afforded an easy access to the
Jersey shores, whence foraging parties
could draw supplies of provisions for the
army, and furnished safe retreat for those
foraging parties when pursued by the A
merican militia Toward the close of the
war, several circumstances combined to
cause scarcity of provisions in the British
camp, among which the activity of various
bands OF militlamen in cutting off all parties
of the enemy, unless they were in great
force, was not the least in Importance
Every means was adopted to overcome this
difficulty, and an appeal to the cupidity Of
the inhabitants was made by the command
ing officer on the Island, in which he stated
that all persons, whatever their principles,
who would bring provisions to the camp,
should have permission to sell them, be paid
the highestprice, and should be always allow
ed to return unmolested Such proclamation
was well calculated to effect the object, for it
was well known that Congress could not pay
for supplies to their armies, except in de-
preciated Continental money, and as there
was no other market, for them, farmers had
but one alternative-eithe to sell them for
British gold or for the worthless paper mo-
ney of Congress. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, that many whose patriotism was
not doubted chose the former, and, when
ever opportunity offered, slipped over to the
Staten Island shore with their produce, for
which they received a fair price in the hard
coin of King George.
Among those who were deluded to this
course, was man be the name of Stephen
Ball, who, having four quarters of beef to
dispose Of thought it better to get its equiv
alent in gold than in paper money. In
pursuance of this object, he placed his beef
on board of boat, and carefully covering
it from observation, SO that his intent might
not be suspected in case he should meet any
one who knew him, he put off one night,
and rowed through Newark Bay to 1.-The
Kills." which he crossed, and landed on
Staten Island carly in the morning of Feb

LINES ON A TRUE FRIEND.
Commend me to the Friend who comes
When am sad and lone,
And makes the anguish of my heart
The suffering Of his own
Who coldly shuns the glittering throng,
At pleasure gay levee,
But comes to gild sombre hour
And give his heart to me.
He hears me count my sorrows DER,
And when the task is done,
He freely gives me all ask,
A sigh for every one.
He cannot wear smiling brow,
When mine is touched with gloom,
But like the violets, seek to cheer
The midnight with perfume.
Commend me to that generous heart,
Which like the pine on high,
Uplifts the same unvarying brow
To every changing sky
Whose friendship does not fade away
When wintry tempests blow,
But. like the winters ivy crown,
Looks greener through the snow.
Oh such friend-he is in truth,
Whatever his lot may be,
A rainbow on the storm of life,
An anchor on the sea.
