TIE "UNIoN" TIcKEE-The last Register, like
the Syracuse black republicans and the Greensboro
Patriot reioices over what it supposed to be the
triumph of the +" union" ticket in Pennsylvania.
No doubt the editor Of the Register thought his read
ers would be green enough to understand that this
was ticket in favor of the Union of the States as
he is very careful to call it the urio ticket" in
stead of theusion tieIet, it should be called It
was union ticket made up and supported by the
Fremonters and Fillmortes; and comm IN honesty
ought to have led the Register to state. Against
this unholy combination the Democrats fought sin.
gle handed, and every true Southern man will re.
joice that they were victorious. The true Union
ticket prevailed, and doubtless the editor of the
Register regrets it.

Terrible Calamity,

One ofthe most awful and heart -rendinp
calamities that we have ever been called upon
to record, occurred last evening, about eigh,
O'Clock, at Reed street wharf. Over hundred
persons, men, women and children, had, at
an early hour in the evening, gathered to-
gether upon the wharf, to enjoy the Cool and
refreshing breezes from the Delaware, and
while thus congregated, the piers sustaining
the wharf iell with tremendous crash, which
was distinctly heard at the distance of several
squares.
In an instant, not less than a hundred per-
sons were precipita ed into the water, others
were otherwise seriously injured. 1t is be-
lieyed that in consequence OF thi. amenta-
table affair, not less than twenty or thirty
lives have been lost. The news spread with
great rapdiiy throughout the neighborhood,
IN which the persons who are in the habit of
frequentirg this place, reside. Thousands
OF people soon repaired to the scene of dis
aster, and the utmost excitement prevailed
up to the hour Of our going to press. AS far
as we could ascertain, but the body of one
person had been recovered. Twenty-Five of
those who had been precipitated into the
water, were rescued by boats manned BY
the offers and crew from on board ths receiv-
ing ship Union. stationed at the Navy yard.
1t is beyond doubt thrt this is one of the
most serio-s crlamitics that has ever occur
within the limits OF our city. if, perhaps, we
except the burning of the ili-fated steamboat
William Penn, which occurred but shor,
distance on the river Delaware from this yery
spot few years since. or the burning ol
the New Jers' y. The scene Of the calamity
was one Of sad affliction to the relatives oi
those who had been lost, and who are anxi.
ously awaiting The reception of their re.
mains.
A number Of afflicted mothers weeping in
the bitterness of their hearts, thronged the
streets, and it was. Indeed, a sad spectacle
TO witness the manifestations Of their grea,
beravement- Their robs sent anguish ,c
all hearts, and the efforts OF some to comf,r
them by assuring them that their children
would certainly be found, proved not only
useless, but seemed to increase rather thar
diminish their sorrow.-PhH. Iao,
