A meeeing Of the Directors Of the Sunbu-
ry and Erie Railroad Company, elected at
the last annual meeting Of the Stockholders
was held on Thursday at the Company's Of
fee, for the purpose of organizing and choos-
ing President. The bill passed by Coun-
ellis providing for the payment Of the balance
of the city subscription to the stock Of the
road was stiil in the hands of the Mayor, un-
signed. Samuel V. Merrick, Esq. gentle
man high in the esteem of the business COM
munity and the citizens generally, was cho-
sen TO fill the responsible position of Presi-
dent. The signatures Of every member Of
Board were then appended TO general re-
signation, with the understanding that the
President should select three Of the Directors
to go out, and make room for new men. The
names of John g. Cresson. Frederick Fraley
and Morris L.rHolowell were mentioned as
likely TO be chosen to fill the vacancies In
order to further secure public confidence, the
contractors upon the DAD agreed to place
their stock in trust with the Directors, with the
understanding that it should not be voted up
on at future elections until the contracts are
performed. The Mayor approved the appro
priation bill.

Correspondence Of the Public Jcdgerl
LETTER FROM NASHINGTUN.
WAsn1xn1oH Eeh

WASHINGTON Feb. rs, 1856.
The foreign mails, owing to some accident
on the Railroad, did not arrive here until late
to-day. On that account, nothing of the
character Of the dispatches received by the
State Department can yet be known.
Things in Congress looked warlike to-day
The Senate was interested with n debate
looking to that contingency. Would it not
be well to grave Senators to await the recep-
tion of authentic information on so delicate q
subject, without exciting the country by q
premature debate upen it?
In the House, the proposition Of Mr.. Orr,
to build fifteen additional war steamers, was
stopped by an adjournment Of the House for
the want of quorum. This proposition
should he adopted, as notoriously inefficient
as our Navy now is Mr.. Orr. being lead
irg friend Of the administration, Of course
made this move with recognzance.
The speech Of Senator Jones of Tennessee
delivered to day in the Senate, which drew
the most crowded house that has been had
this session, is generally conceded to he the
most gentlemanly, but severest excoriatioL
Of Senators Wilson and Hale, that has ever
been visited upon any Senators in that body
The nomination Of Messrs. Fillmore and
Doneson by the National Convention, plea
ses the Americans. The Southern Ameri
cans Will generally support the ticket. A
few OF the fre-eating portion will bolt it. -
! The Democrats exult over it as insuring to
them New York, rs Senator Seward will
make war on Fillmore to the knife. and thus
| by triangular contest between the Demo
Gratis, Republicans and Americans, the former
will bo apt to carry it The nomination OF
Major Donnelson is not considered conlonant
with that Of Mr.. Fillmore, as he edited the
! Union during the Fillmore administration
and opposed it with great bitterness. The
condition of the Know Nothing pulse in The
/ House will be correctly ascertained to-mor
/ row.
The peny wise and pound-foolish conrse o
the House of Representatives, could not have
been better illustrated than it was to-day
At least one thousand dollars of its time was
spent in fixing the compensation of n Com
mittee Clerk, who. it was feared would, unde
an existing resolution, $3.50 more this session
that it was thought he should.

TERRIBLE DISASTER.

Saturday morning, soon after o'clock,
one Of the steam boilers at the Louisville pa
per MILL situated on Main street, between
Tenth and Eleventh, exploded with terrific
violence, scattering death and destruclion to
all in its path. The explosion was heard sew
eral squares Of, and soon hundreds of people
locked to the scene Of the disaster, when it
was ascertained that three human beings had
been killed outright, fourth was missing,
probably buried in the the ruins, and two
more badly wounded and scalded. The un-
fortunate victims were Thomas Gannin, an
lrisbman acting in the capacity Of fireman
and third engineer. William, a slave Of Mrs.
Faith, and little girl some twelve years OF
age, daughter of Mrs. Malott, a widow lady
The wounded were Ben Stamp and his son,
who were in the act of wheeling coal in bar
row to the furnaces at the time Of the explo,
sion. They were so much disfgured, burnt
and scalded, as to be barely recognized as
human beings when first discovered. TheiI
injuries may not prove fatal, though the boy
had one Of his legs broken, and received q
terrible wound in his head.--Louis COur.

aIEAiCO-

President COmonfort, Of Mexico, has ad-
dressed a letter to the Bishop Of San Luis
Potosi, from which it appears that the latter
had taken offence at the course pursued to-
wards the Clergy by the Government. His
Excelcncy explains that if the Bishops were
not advised of the installation of the new
Government, it was only in consequence Of
the confusion attending upon the numerous
changes in the Ministry having caused the
attention to be overlooked. In the course
Of his letter he declares that he yields to no
one in the conviction of the great influence
religion exercises on the happiness Of ma.
tions that he is pursuaded that uniformity
in religious beliefs is the closest bond of the
national union that exists; and that he,
therefore, is and always will be disposed to
do all he can to strengthen religious telling
in the country. He expresses it as his
opinion, however that the clergy, by spon-
taneously excluding themselves from all in
tervention in political matters, would render
themselves the more worthy of respect, and
place themselves in very advantageous
situation to mediate in civil discussions
This, he argues, would by no means deprive
them of their quality of citzons. "ln the
United States" for example, he says, CLERGY.
