looms between San Francisco and st.

off the track-will bring balloon in

mento to the foot of the Alleghanies, and
land her freight and passengers, fresh
and healthy. almost at the very threshold
Of their homes.

READING. = Reading is one Of the
greatest corsolations Of life; it is the
nurse of virture; the upholder in adyersi-

of a just pride; the strengthener of ele-

the tyranny of the petty passions; it is
the repeller of the FOOLS scoff and the

THIRTY-FoURTH CONGRESS.

THURSDAY, May L,
SENATE.-Mr. Weller introduced a resolu-
ton calling on the President for any cores
pondence not heretofore communicated with
our Minister at Nicaragua, in regard to the re-
cognition of the new Government of Ncara-
qua. He said his object was 10 ascertain
whether the Minister sustained the general
policy of this Government IN regard to Mic
aragua if So he entirely disagreed with that
policy. He thought that if the recos milton of
Col. French was refused on personal grounds,
the Nicaraguan Government should have been
notified of that fact, and been officially recog-
nized The usual practice of this Govern
ment had been to recognize the de facto Gov
ernments of Central America. He wanted to
see a stable Government there. He thought
emigration there should be encouraged. No
man had been so shamefully misrepresented as
Gen. Walker, who, instead of being free
booter, was man of pure purposes.
Mr.. Seward remarked TINT several weeks
ago, on his motion, resolution was adopted,
calling on the President for information on
the subject, but as there had been no res
ponse, the President had probably good rens.
ons, in view of the present complicated state
OF affairs, for delaying to answer the resolu-
ton.
Mr.. Weller replied that he was not aware
of that fact, or he would not have offered this
resolution at the present time.
Mr.. Douglas believed that the Clayton
Bulwer treaty was being violated every dav by
Great Britain, and thought something ought
to be done about it. He regarded the present
Government of Nicaragua legitmate-as much
so as the other Governments of Central Amer.
lea. 1t was the frmest and most stable Gov
eminent there had been there since the throw
ing oil OF the Spanish yoke. He believed we
ought to enforce the Neutrality laws, but not
go hairs breadth beyond the line Of strict
duty.
Mr. Butler thought we ought to be careful
not to involve ourselves in a war with any
nation, through the acts of lntermeddling adj.
ventures.
Mr.. Weller withdrew the resolution.
Mr. Toombs spoke in Opposition.

HoUsE.-The House passed theiIndian APP

ACCIDENT IN WEsrBoRo'.-We learn from
the Westboro' Sheqf that Mr.. Levi Hill had his
arm broken while engaged in mill in that town
few days since. The same paper mentions that
man named Holden, now of Brighton, but for
merly of Sutton, in this county was taken up in
the vicinity of Brigham Hill, in Grafton on Sun
day last, in a bewdered state of mind, occasioned
it is supposed by fall, which he had evidently
had from his vehicle The collar bone was frac.
tured and there were other injuries upon his per.
son. MI H. is said to be a temperate man, but
he can give no account how he was hurt, anv
farther than that he started on Sunday morning
in his gig to go from Brighton to Sutton. and has
no recollection of anything that transpired after
leaving Westboro, where he stopped to soater his
horse.

The STATE AND DIsTRIoT CONVENTIONS. -
Our readers are aware that State Conven-
ton has been called to choose delegates at
large to Philadelphia, and also that conyen-
tions are about to be called in the several Con-
gressional Districts, to elect the three dele
gates 10 which each District is entitled in the
National Convention. Primary meetings will
OF course be called in each town and city for
the choice OF delegates to the State and DIS
trct Conventions and as the time for these
meetings approaches, we hope that our friends
throughout the State will take active and
energetic measures to have them properly call
cd in every locality.
AS no way ofcalling the primary meetings
in the towns and cities has been designated,
we take the liberty to suggest that, wherever
IT may be thought best, it can be done by get
ting the signatures to the call, OF mon of diff
ierent parties who may be favorable TO the
Philadelphia Convention. W here this course
cannot from any cause be taken or where it
may not be thought desirable, we trust that
the Republicans will see TO II that the meet
ings are called on broad and liberal basis,
inviting all opponents Of the administration
and all friends of FREE KANzAs, whether Re-
publicans or Americans, or Anti Nebraska
Wings or Democrats. No other test should
be made THAI determination to have Kan
gas made Free State. OF course il should
be understood that those participating in the
proceedings Of these primary meetings are in
favor Of the Philadelphia Conventions

truck Of this car, and tho two trucks passed
through its whole length, ripping up the fioor

er truck. The three trucks were then hurled
against the second car, detaching another
wheel, and the four trucks, plowed through
the flooring of this car also, scattering seats
and passengers in all directions. They
were finally brought up by the hind truck,
and the train was stopped, when the Jour
trucks were found piled up in heap in the
end of this car. These two cars contained
eighty or one hundred passengers, men, women
and children. and marvellous to relate, with a
single exception, not one Of them received a
