The SPEED or RAILWAY CARs.-Nlany of the
accidents which happen to persons attempting
to cross railroads, are the result of ignorance
of the velocity of the iron horse when fairly
under way. 4 writer in the Hartford Courant
gives some interesting facts which it will be
well to bear in mind -
" Ii seems almost incredible that as we
glide smoothly along. the,elegantly furnished
car moves nearly twice its own length in a
second of time-about seventy-four feet. At
this velocity we find that the locomotive driv-
ing wheels, six feet in diameter, make four
revolutions per second. 1t is no idle piston
rod that traverses the cylinder thus eight
times per second.
" If man with horse and carriage upon
an unimportant public rold in country
town should approach and cross the track at
the speed of six miles per hour, which would
be crossing rapidly,a ian express train approach
ing at the moment would move toward him
two hundred and fifty seven feet while he was
in the act of crossing distance barely sufh-
cient to clear the horse and vehicle. II the
horse was moving at rate no Easter than 4
walk as the track is usually crossed, the
train would move toward him while in the
act OF crossing more than five hundred feet
This accounts for the many accidents at such
points. The person driving thinks he may
cross because the train is n few rods distant.
How compares the highest speed OF the
train with the velocity oil sound W hen the
whistle is opened at the eighty " whistle
post, " the train will advance near one huG-
dred feet before the sound of the whistle ira
verses tine distance to- and is heard at the
crossing. The velocity exceeds the ilg
our birds.

IMPORTANT FROM NIcAEAGUA.-A despatch
from New Orleans of Oct 22nd, announces
the arrival Of steamer with important news
from Nicaragua. The facts appear to be that
Gen Walker. finding the enemy advancing
on Mussaya, withdrew the small force ere,
when the enemy, 1000 strong, occupied the
place. Cen Walker then left n small force
at Granada, and advanced towards Masslya
with 1900 men, and meeting the enemy On
the l2th inst. near the city, rcTu.sed them,
driving them back to Massaya, where a bat
tie was fought, lasting until midnight. At
daylight courier arrived from Granada,
stating that 400 GuatcMaleaEs and natives
were bcsiegirg that place. Gen, Walker, on
receiving this information, Immediately
marched to the relief Of Granada, and ar
rived On tie heights surrounding the city
on the morning of tho 18th, at 10 o'clock
and finding the city larricadcl ly the whole
force Of the enemy, he charged upon them
and drove them from their posts, capturing
their commanders, and all their field pieces
and routing them from the city with great
slaughter The total loss ofthe enemy waslloo,
Gen. Walkers loss was IL killed and so
wounded. Gen, Walker would Immediately
march on Massaya and Leon. His troops
were in the highest spirits. The citizens o!
Granada held the government buildings thir-
ty-two hours against the force Of the enemy,
and were vigorously defending the place
when General Walker arrived. Messrs Law
less Wheeler and Ferguson, American citl-
aens, who have had 10 connection with
Nicaraguan affair were murdered by the

issue and make it what 1t is, So that every
man may see where lie now stands, and
where he will have to stand hereafter,

But the greatest re-actionary movement Is one
carried on by the most learned philosophical men,

doing. The socialists and communists, in denoun-
cling free society, have gone very far to usry Stare

America, ransacking, sitting, exposing the pas'

The astounding amount Of poverty, Ignorance and
crime which they bring to light must, after time

For, if such be the condition of great part of the
laboring whites what would be the condition Of ne

liberty without property has done little for the

MYSTERIOUS CAsE.-The Barre, Mas. .,
Gazette relates that the entire bones OF
human being were recently found near Da-
mon Pond in Rutland, Worcester county,
which appeared to have been deposited there
about twenty years. These bones are sup
posed to be the remains Of a young man
named Chester Sprout from Vermont, who
disappeared from Rutland (where he was a
work. very mysteriousy about twenty years
since. A man by the name of Asahel Pres
son, OF Preston, whose story has not hereto
fore been credited, said that Sprout was
murdered by a man in Rutland, for whom hH
had worked and buried near damon Pond
Last spring, Preston, who had become very
poor, wrote a threatening letter to gentle
man in Rutland, statinglthat he was in want
of money, and that if he (the gentleman) did
not let him have some, he would expose him
in the crime he had committed and that II
he valued his neck more than his money, he
must let him have some. For this Preston
was thrown into Jail, where he has since re
mained, persisting in the truth of his state
ments, which some are now inclined TO he

WHAT Ma. FILLMORE SAYS Mr. Yeadon

Mr.. Foot has showed decided ability in the

well known and reliable friend Of freedom,

TUE PosITlON, PERSONAL ASD POLITICAL, OF
Jouy c. FREuoSr.--We consider that no can
didate for the Presidency since the establish
ment of our government has ever occupied II
moro remarkable position than John c. Fro-
mont at the present time. The fortitude and
self command which he has evincnd during
the canvass are almost unexampled in the
history of our great men. Many-whom the
nation delights to honor-Cay, Jackson.
Gen. ScDtt-under less severe pressure than
Col. Fremont has had to sustain, gave way,
and gave the people practical evidence that
they could not command themselves. Yet
how small their provo cation compared to
fremont's Assuredly no man was eyer
50 much abused in this country as this man.
- lie has been called liar, a periurcr, Il
traitor, defIulter, di shonest runaway,
a brawer, a coward blunderer he has
been attacked in his faith, in his morals, in
his character, in his past history, iu his
present circumstances ; even his parents
have been dug out of their graves to insult
and vilify him through them.
Under this unexampled torrent of prJvo'H-
tion, Col. Fremont has not once lost sell
command. Not n line has he answered to
the slanderers no sign have they had that
he knew of their existence till creatures
like the Brookses and the McMasters have
gone crazy with rage at not even getting
kicked, and foamed idiotically into letters
which Fremont reads with smile.
Such quality is precisely the requisite
for President. 1t is the rarest, the most
valuable, and at the same time the most cs-
sential Of all qualities.

Tho Boston Advertiser does not consider
the Pennsylvania election decisive Of the
Presidential contest, though it ncutralizes
the favorable effect of the Maine election,
and leaves the question where it was before.
On the aid given to the Buchanan men by
the Fillmore men, it uses the following per-
tinent language:
There can no longer be a doubt that the Buchanan
party finds faithful and useful ally in the Fillmore
party. The Fillmore men in 1856 ara playinr pre-
csoly the part which played by the Bir
ney acn in ls4i and as the Brncy men caused
the election of James X. Polk, and tho annexation
of TcNls the Fillmore men doing their best
to cause the election Of James buchanan, and the
extension Of slavery into Kansas and tho whole re-
gion to tho West.
The Pennsylvania election has proved only one
great fact and this it behoves all voters who would
participate in the election to mark viz. that vot-
ing for Fillmore is aiding the election Of Buchanan.
We know there are Wings in the Fillmore
movement who openly desire that Buchanan
should be elected rather than Fremont. These, Of
course, know what they are doing. But there are
others who have been inclined to vote for Mr.. Fill
more, in the belief that by so doing they escape
both extremes and occupy a neutral intermediate
ground. We trust that these will examine their po-
siton carefully, lest they find to their chasrin,
when the country is cursed with the administration
of James buchanan, that they themselves are not
wholly guItlcss.
! We wonder if the small file of Fillmore
men in this State, have severally determined

/ names are to be enrolled
