New YORK. March 81,

NEW DIRK, Marcn ~.
The Washington correspondent of the Com
mercial Advertiser says that Mr.. Buchanan has
personally urged Roberto. Walker to accept the
Office of Governor of Kansas, not as a routine
official, but as high commissioner to restore
order in Kansas and prevent civil war. Gen.
Persifer +. Smith, who is here, thinks that Mr..
Walker would do that in thirty days. Mr.. Walker
has listened to the representations and promises
of the Administration, and will accept the Office
with view to enhance his reputation, and at
the same time probably to lay the Administra-
tion under immense obligations to him. He will
not remain there after he shall have effected the
high object of his mission, and his secretary,
whom he is to choose, will remain as Governor.
He is not only to go out with full powers, but
will dictate his own instructions.
The Washington Star of last evening says
Walker has accepted. Of this fact we have no
longer doubt. We have also every reason to
believe that the post of Territorial Secretary of
State has been rendered to Hon. +. 2. Stanton,
of Tennessee.
Gov. Geary declared his intention of leaving
Washington tomorrow morning, on learning
which, Mr.. Buchanan desired his address, as
there might be some future occasion for his ser.
vices. 1t is understood that Gov. Geary's inten.
ton, after brief residence in Westmoreland
county, is to revisit Washington. He will not
under any circumstances accept areappoiitment
after the Office has been offered to another. man,
although he might have done so had it been
offered to him first with the same almost abso-
Lutte powers with which it Is proposed to clotbe
Mr.. Walker.

Resolved, That the constitution of this state

CEsAR's OPINION OF HIS LIKENESS IN WoRsrEp
WoRx-In review of 1.-THE Apocatastasis," a
work against spiritualism, Published in 1854, at
Burlington, VT. the Boston Daily Advertiser
tells the following story:
"A most respectable, though not very caltiva-
ted lady. once invited US to o private exhibition
OF rappings and scratchings, by which she be-
heved that she held converse with her own de.
ceased friends, as well as with many people who
had been illustrious in their day and generation
As We were looking about her simply furnished
parlor our eyes fell upon screen whereon an
historical scene-the passage Of the Rubicon,
We will call twas depicted in worsted work.
Now, any one familiar with the specimens Of this
art which are sold at our country fairs willagree
that, however, interesting they may be as mon
aments Of human patience and human eyesight,
they do not possess the interest of greatly re-
senbiing any territorial objects with which We
are acquainted. The visage Of Caesar upon the
screen was no exception to the rule; square
patches OF red were driven In to represent the
Aush upon his cheeks, black tr:angles, consis ing
Of three stitches, did duty as his eyebrows, while
his eyes we're glass beads that started in differ
ent directions. As this screen was evidently
the ornament Of the house, we hazarded the OBJ
servstion that thrust have taken long time to
work it-or something ofthat sort. "Yes," repli.
ed our hostess, shut that is the least part Of its
interest; for Julius Cesar came here the other
spssing and told ~ he considered 1t a capital

REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON SPRING EXAM
NATION, HELD MARCH II AND lS, 1857.
The Spring examination of classes in this In
sttution came off on Tuesday and Wednesday
of last week, and was in high degree
creditable to all concerned. OF course it would
not be difficult to point out deficiencies, but the
wonders that an Institution, SO recently estab-
lished, and SO meagerly endowed, has already
come up so nearly to the standard Of similar
schools in the older States.
We notice, as particularly worthy of common
dalton, class of lads in Latin Grammar and
Cicero, under Professor Ind, the classes in AL
zebra, Geometry and Natural Philosophy, under
Prof Dow, and the classes IN French, English
Grammar, and Rhetoric, under Miss Chamber
lain. -4...
We do not profess to be connoisseur in the
elegant accomplishments of Painting and Music,
but some specimens of the former by pupils un-
der Miss Parmenter, and of the latter under the
direction of Miss Monroe, struck us as very fine.
In this connection, we must not omit to mention
the performances of large class of pupils in
vocal music, who have been successfully trained
by Mr.. Hawley.
This is delightful feature of the school, and
the more so because it is SO often wanting in
institutions of learning, in other respects of high
character. Music is more than an accomplish
ment. 1t humanizes and elevates it speaks to
the finer and loftier feelings of the soul.
The limited time given to the examination,
and the fact thatwe have had no previous know
ledge of the Institution, will not justify us in
going farther into details. 1t is sufficient to add
that, in our view, both the teachers and the
students have just cause to be gratiGed with the
measure OF success they have achieved, and the
city and the State have no less reason to be
nroud of this rising Institution of lea rninp
We hope to see the next session Of study at
tended with large increase OF students, as
surely the character of the Institution in all its
departments merits tae most liberal patronage.

We learn from gentleman who arrived yes.
terday from La Sale that frightful accident
occurred on Thursday morning on the illinois
Central Railroad, near La Sale. The particu-
lars are as follows: ..--...' -
About u o'clock in the morning, the gravel
train, loaded with laborers, who work along the
line, started from La Sale southwark. The
train crossed the bridge all right and as the en-
gine came on to the embankment on the other
side OF the bridge, 1t all at once gave way, and
the whole train was precipated a distance of
probably twenty-five feet. Four men were Kill
led on the spot, and one died few hours after
wards. Eight others were severely injured. some
WITH broken legs, arms, &c. The engineer and
fireman escaped with their lives though some
what injured. The marvel is that so many as
capped.
The heavy rains of last Sunday, along with the
general thaw that ensued, had SO softeped the
embankment that it appeared as soft and asin-
capable OF bearing up a train as the softest,kind
OF mud. Whenever the engine came Off the
bridge, 1t seemed as ifis had fallen over preci
pice.
But disastrous as the occurrence has proven Il
seems providential that it is not much more fatal

~ some trivial accident was delayed and did not
arrive at the fatal spot till after the gravel train

have been much larger.

shoo,;nr Affair in Rock island

This morning woman whose name we learn
is Mrs. Todd, went into Harpers & Steers hard
ware store and purchased pistol She imme-
dately started for Webbers foundry, went up to
Tom--a moulder, and said: "Well Tom l am
here-die," and at the same time firing the pis.
tol. leveled at his breast. The ball hit a steel
square which was inhis side pocket and CLAN
ced off without doing any injury.
The origin of the affair appears to have grown
out of some talk which the woman says was cir
culated by the man, derogatory to her charac-
er, thereby causing separation between her
self and her husband. She says the man has
so prejudiced her husband against her, who II
appears has been boarding with them, that he
applied for bill Of divorce. As soon as the af
fair was over, she oluntarily gave herself up to
Magistrate Swander. The person she shot at
Immediately went before the grand jury, now in
session, to secure a bill against her for assault
and battery with intent to kill. The woman and
her husband met upon the street on her way to
the Jail, where she is now confined. The scene
is said to have been most affecting. We pre-
sumo the whole affair viii at once be legally in
vestigated. The parties apparently are intelli-
gent.-Rock Islander, 23d.
