The FAMOUS ATLANTIC VS.. OGDEN

The FAMOUS ATLANTIC VS.. OGDENs-
BURG CAsE.-All our readers will recol-
lect the loss of the steamship Atlantic, by
a collision with the propeller Ogdsnsburg,
in August, 1852. The loss was severe
one, and Captain Ward, The owner of the
Atlantic, sued Messrs. Crawford IL Cham
berlain, the owners of the Ogdensburg.
The suit was first brought in the District
Court of the United States for tie State
of Ohio, where decision was rendered
against Captain Ward. The case, how
ever, has been re-heard, and we learn by
a Geographic dispatch, that Judge Nc
Lean has rendered decision by which
Captain Ward RECEIVERS thirty nine thous-
and dollars damage, and Fl fifteen thousand
dollars cost. The case is remarkable
one, and the decision proves what has al
ways been asserted, that the propeller
was not on her course when the collision
took place.-Detrot Adv., Oct. 90.

A NEwsPAPER.-It was Bishop Hor-
ner's own opinion that there was no bet
ter moralist than the newspaper. He
says:
1.-The foilies, vices, and consequent
miseries of mulntudes, displayed in a
newspaper, are so many beacons contin-
ually burning to turn others from the rock
on which they have been shipwrecked.
What more powerful dissuasive from sus-
picion, jealousy, and anger than the story
OF friend murdered by another in a
duel? What caution more likely to be
effective against gambling and profigacy
than the mournful relation of an execu-
ton, or the fate of despairing suicide ?
What finer lecture OH the necessity of
economy than the auction of estates. houses
AMI furniture? Only take newspaper,
and consider it well. pay for it. and i.
will instruct thee"

~ On Thursday morning of last week

a laborer, named Marks Conroy, from the
Wisconsin Bridge Works. was found in

he was supposed to be intoxicated he re-

he was met by the kindness of Mr.. J. J.
Langdon, and was placed in comfortable
situation, but soon died.
Friday, Justice lie Clerc summoned a
jury, and held an inquest over the body,
which resulted in verdict that 1.-THE de-

COM ERCIAL.
Boat And Freight Register.


Navigation on the Upper Mississippi
is close to close. Boats continue to ar
rive at this port, but the water looks
chilly, the hands shiver, the mates swear,
and the captains and clerks are muffled
up, as though they were afraid to trust
their persons so far north on the lst of
December Three or four Boats only
reached US the past week. They were
heavily freiyhted, however, and so, far
as We can learn, the merchants depending
upon this port for delivery of goous, have
received all their purchases. The closing
prices of transportation have been exhorb-
liant, t.uo dollars ana. ftiy cents per Aundred
pounds being charged from Fulton City
to M'Gregor. In some instances the
Freight Bills have been nearly equal in
amount to the value of the goods deliver
ed. This state of affairs can never again
occur to those doing business at this
point. The Milwaukee Road will relieve
the Galena and Dubuque packets from
the necessity of making out such large
freight bills. Passengers destined to
M Gregor, as point of debarkation, will
not again pay EIGHT DOLLARS for the
privilege Of riding mot eating or sleep
ing) on their beautiful boats 1t is per-
haps good thing for this upper country
that navigation closes-if it continued all
winter, and the prices advanced as they
have for two or three weeks past, the
merchandise and baggage would be in
sufficient to pay charges on the LIST jan
uary. All right, probably. The owners
want to get all they can, and in this they
do not differ from other people, but it
strikes our judgment, that little lower
tariff would have been ultimately more
profitable to the companies running these
lines. Next spring, powerful rival will
be in the field at Prairie du Chen, and
the Packet companies have left no re:--em-
ORANGES of pleasant character on the
minds of their customers. Had their
their conduct been more in consonance
with fair profits, than gross goug;ny, some
inducement would have remained for their
future employment. But they have cho-
sen, like the young man in the fable, to
"kill the goose" and if she fails to fur
nish them &c golden eggs" in future, they
have themselves alone to blame.
There were 312, $50 lbs. of Freights
received for the week ending Thursday
noon.

Letter from Mr.. Buchanan on the Pa
cific Railroad.
WHEATLAND, (near LancasterD Pa,
18th September 1856 {

WHEATLAND, (near LancasterO Pa,
18th September, 1885,
To B. F.. Washington, Esq. Chairman of the Dem
ocrasic State Central Committee Of California:
SIR:-I have received numerous COM
munications from sources in California
entitled to high regard, in reference to
the proposed Pacific Railroad. AS it
would be impossible for me to answer
them all, | deem it most proper and re-
spectful to addsess you general answer in
your official capacity. In performing
this duty to the citizens of California, l
act in perfect consistency with the self
imposed restriction contained in my letter
accepting the nomination for the Presi-
dency, not to answer heterogeneous rails
ing new and different issues from those
presented by the Cincinnati Convention;
because that Convention has itself adopt
ed resolution in favor of this grea. work
l then desire to state briefly that, concur
ring with the Convention, am decidedly
favorable to the construction of the Pa
citic railroad; and, derive the authority
to do this from the constitutional power
to "declare war;" and the constitutional
duty "to repei invasions." In my judy
ment Congress possesses the same power
to make appropriations for the construc-
ton of this road, strictly for the purpose
of national defence, that they have to
erect foriitications at the mouth of the
harbor of San Francisco. Indeed, the
necessity, with view to repcl foreign in
vasion from California, is as great in one
ca Sc as in the Other. Neither will there
be danger from the precedent; for it is
almost impossible to conceive that any
case, attended by such extraordinary and
Unprecedented circumstances, can ever
again occur in our history.
Yours, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.
