Washington and Fremont.

The New York Independent, the organ O
the Congregationalsts of the United States
is decided in its support of Fremont. 1t rum
the following parallel between Washington
and Fremont
1T is somewhat curious to notice the strik
ing correspondence between the history O
this young Republican Captain, and that 0
him whom our fathers took as their leader
in the first great struggle for Liberty on tbi,
continent. A part of these have been no
tlced by the papers and by speakers. 9th
erS we have not seen referred to. They are
interestingand suggestive. Washington was
left in childhood, by the death of his father
to the charge of his mother. Fremont was
SO likewise at still earlier period, and in
circumstances certainly much less suspicious
Washington had early passion for the sea
so strong that midshipman's warrant was
obtained for him by his friends. Fremont
went to sea, and was employed for more
than two years. Washington was introduc.
ed to public life through his service on the
frontiers, as surveyor and civil engineer
Fremont won his discipline and his early fame
IN the same department, and by his use and
practice in it became fitted in mind and BODY
to "endure hardness" Washington learned
all that he knew of war in Indian combats
and the strife Of the wilderness. and rose
thus to the rank of Colonel in the provincial
troops. Fremont's school was the same
and he has gained the Same rank. Washing.
ton had had small experience as LEGISLATOR
until he was called to the head of the Gov
eminent. He was taken for his well-tried
general qualities, and not for any distinction
he had achieved as dip!omatist or states
man; and here again the parallel holds
Washington was sneered at by the men O.
routine, was hated and assa.led by the To-
ries of that day, as soldier who had neye,
''set squadron in the field" until his ener
gy and patience drove them all out of it.
The same class of attacks are now made or
Fremont; to be answered, we trust, in the
same impressive way. His friends early felt
that Washington was specially fitted and
preserved of Providence to become the head
of the nation; as the Rev. Samuel Davies
expressed it, that providence has hitherto
preserved him in so signal manner for some
important service to his country" The same
expectation, becoming aim )st a premontion
has tor years been general Among the friends
of Fremont. DR.. Robertson his early teach.
er expressed it in the preface to his edition
OF the Anabasis published years ago, in these
words: "Such my young friends is an i'm
perfect sketch of my once beloved and favor
lite pupil who may yet rise to be at the heat
OF this great Republic. My prayer is tina
he may be ever opposed to war, injustice anC
oppression OF every kind, blessing to hi:
country and an example of every noble vir
tue to the whole world" Washington wa;
called to the head of the army at the age o.
forty-four; and if Col. Fremont shall live te
see the 4th OF March next we confidently ex-
pect that the singular parallel will so far be
perfected.

The first excursion car caught fir and com

ordinary efforts were made to extricate those
mutilated and being crushed under the
wheels. Many of them were still alive wher
the flames reached them. The groans and
cries that rent the air were awful. A mum.
Der of physicians from this city and Ger

engines from Chestnut Hill forced water
through their hose to the wreck, and afte,

mains were removed from beneath. Nine
teen bodies were removed to a blacksmith
shop, three of them supposed to be females
The body Of Father Sheridan was recovered
and brought to this city. Immense crowds
were attracted to the scene of the calamity
from the surround ng country. The friends
of the dead and wounded walked from the
city, and every description of vehicle was ia

The following manifesto has been issued
by the party whoexpelled the Mormons from
Beaver Island
The dominion of King Strang is at an end.
The band OF marauders, once occupying the
Beaver group of Islands, under the admin;s-
tration and direction of James j. Strano
their reputed Prophet, have fled at the an,
proach of the Sheriff. The land is redeem
ed, a kingdom no longer exists upon the Dor
ders Of one OF our most populous States
And we rejoice to know that the resources
of this upper region will be properly and
speedily developed under the operation of
our State laws. The institutions of our
country secure protection to all her citizens,
especially to their religious freedom; but
when its tenets are criminal and directly an
! tagonistic to our laws and subversive of our
constitution, we as citizens would prove re-
creant to our duties to permit longer con-
tlnuance OF the evil. 1t should be matter.
therefore, of public rejoicing to all persons
living contiguous to the lakes that this fest
OF Dandlttl have been eXterminated, and we
would take this occasion to caution the citi-
zens OF Wisconsin against many of them
who have fled within her precincts. Here
follow several names.)
During the last fall numerous robberies
were committed on the south shores of Lake
Michigan; stores and tanneries plundered.
whilst at the same Straug was committing
frauds and populations on the State Treasury
by false returns. The census returns made
for the county of Emmett, under his own
hands, show an aggregate population of 7 900,
whilst in reality it falls below 1000. His
agents have for the last six years been Prov
ling about the lakes committing piracies up-
on the boats and property of fishermen and
proprietors, of which his kingship received
tithing or tenth. Having the control of an
entire county, and from the sworn fealty of
his band, he has always managed to keep ju-
dlclal or executive control and set at defiance.
the laws. Of this sad condition of things
we are now happily set free-and we say
again we have reason to congratulate our
selves and rejoice that the State has been re-
lleved OF an excrescence that had recently
become intolerable.
On leaving Beaver Island, Strang, the
Mormon Prophet, was conveyed to his farm
at Voree. Racine county, Wisconsin, where
he died1n Wednesday last. 1t was thought
at first that his wounds might not prove
mortal, but they were aggravated by the
want OF medical attention. The whole Nor
mon community having been expel ed, and
the leader and prophet having died, this fine
branch of the deluson may be considered at
an end.

Mr.. Letcher of Virginia, wished to say
that, in new aspect of the case, an effort
was made to cut off debate.
Mr.. Dunn, If Indiana, called attention to

has been called upon to declare its disappro-
baton of 8" said act'' Of Messrs. Keitt and
Edmundson. He wanted to know to what
the words ''said act" had reference.
The Speaker replied it was explained in
the preamble, which has yet to be acted
upon.
By request the preamble from the report
LOT the committee was read, setting forth the
facts connected with the assault, and conclu-
ding with the assertion thatiL appears from,
investigation that Messrs. kcitt and Edmund

informed of the purpose of Mr.. Brooks to
commit violence ON Mr.. Sumner for words
used in debate, and took no means to dis
courage or prevent the same, but on the con-
trary, anticipating the assault, were pres

The Life of Freem ont,

BY Chas. Upham has just been issued by
Ticknor & Fields, Boston. The N. Y. Mir
ror, edited by Col. Fuller, paper which has
always heretofore been on the side of the
South in all sectional controversies, speaks
of it in this glowing style:
This is a life worth living, worth writing
and worth reading. 1t is full of events, full
of romance, full of results. John Charles
Fremont has written his name on the ever
lasting hills, "rock ribbed and ancient as the
sum-" and given it to 'sthe flowing streams
that lucid flow forever" He has unrolled
to the knowledge of the present and future
generations the magnificent geography of a
virgin continent and turned the golden
streams of unknown Sierras into all the
channels of the commercial world. He is
the hero of more glorious epic than Homer
ever sung, and has braved more deadly dan
gers than the victor of hundred battles.
1t is not strange therefore, that while the
American people is thrilling at the story Of
his adventures, feeling of personal admira-
ton should be awakened, which insists upon
rewarding the living hero with the highest
honors in the gift of the Nation.
Courage in man, like chastity in woman.
is the very virtue of virtues. 1t compels
the homage of the world, and wins the pro-
tccting favor of heaven. No one can read
the life of Fremont, and resist the convic-
ton that he is one of the bravest and most
death daring men that ever perilled his life
in the pursuit Of a purpose, or in the yindi-
cation of a principle. SAT

"A SENSIBLE SENAToR.-In the Senate the

floor to make speech on the action of tho

attempted to stave off Mr.. Toombs. He
took 1t like philosopher, and spoke till
half-past five, saying that he did not care for
the Senators, but he hoped the reporters
would keep their seats, as the speech was
intended for the country more than for the

the part of member of our highest legisla-
