Early Marriages.

What has Presi enl Bu chanan Done
Tor tho SOuths

tor tho South
This question is triumphantly answered
by Hon. A. II. Stevens, of Georgia, in late
electioneering discussion, as follows:
ssWhat had Mr.. Buchanan done to recon.
mend him to the confidence Of Southern men?
He had appointed four Southern men as
members Of his Cabinet, and from the North
he had selected three others who had been
distinguished for their firm, unyielding and
unselhsh devotion to the constitutional
rights of the South. Two of them-Gen.
Cass and Mr Touccy had sacrificed them
selves at home, and been defeated by Black
Republicans, because they stood by the
South in her hour Of need and Mr.. Bu-
chanan had shown his appreciation of their
broad nationality, and his inclination to
protect the Northern defenders of Southern
rights, by calling them to high Office and
selecting them as his cabinet advisers What
has he done2 lie had in his Inaugural Ad-
dress done more than any man who nad pro-
ceded him in the Presidential Office evor had
done, in giving in his decision, in advance
of it's delivery, to the principles Of the Dred
Scott decision OF the Supreme Court, and
proclaimlng, as rule for the conduct Of his
administration, the true doctrine Of South
ern equality in the Territories of the Union.
What had he done9 He had given Us the
sraole government o-ganis ,hon Of the ter.
ritory Of Kansas; had recognised the laws
of that Territory, against which the Black
Republicans had revolted; and had placed
Southern men IN erery office Of honor or III
f,lence in 'he Territory, and be had placed
no man in Office in Kansas, or anywhe else,
who was not pledged to sustain the Kansas
Nebraska act, and all the other legislation
Of Congress whicn secured to the South her
rights under the Constitution. What had he
not done which Southern man with any
propriety could ask that President Of the
United States should do 20

THE NEWS

"A terrible accident occurred on the \
Y. Central r. ilroad ON the night Of the 10Th
between Warmers station and Syracuse, al
Ninc-Mile creek. Tho engine suddenly
plunged off tho crack, darting down into the
..ock some II to 20 feet. The coupling up.
I iparently broke instantly, as the first baggage
car plunged over right on the top Of the en-
CINE; this was followed by the mail car and
three passenger cars, all Of which took the
fearful leap one after another. Tho cars
were all we'll filed with passengers, and the
catastrophe so sudden that only one shrek
was heard above the noise of wheels before
ali were heaped together in common ruin nt
the bottom Of the guilt The last car only
remained on the track, and those so fortu
nate as to be on board that carriage instantly
leaped ou. and went to the rescue Of the other
passengers. Only one personalities Catha-
| rine Brown, of Torouto,-was instantly
killed. Mr. F. Bronson, of New Britain,
was horribly injured. His entrails We're lit
| orally cut to mince meat, and although he
still lived at last accounts, his recovery was
hopeless. Fifteen or sixteen others were
badly in ur ID. From the nature of the acci-
dent and the complete destruction of the
cars, it is miraculous that, out Of sixty or
seventy passengers, so few were fatally in
ju.cd. There were several narrow escapes.
One passenger, Mr. Oesturg, of Jefferson
was in the second car, and the whole wood
work not fo 1t above his head was splintcred
to atoms The night was very dark and
rainy. The cause Of the accident is said to
be the giving way of the embankmcnt and
spreading of the track.
The financial intelligence bears better
tone. A New York dispatch of the 10Th
says: Sour financial and business affairs
